Synopsis

"Ottoman Power Dynamics" masterfully traces the extraordinary transformation of the Ottoman Empire from a small Anatolian principality into one of history's most enduring powers, focusing on the sophisticated administrative systems that enabled its remarkable six-century reign.

 
The book illuminates how innovative governance structures, particularly under Sultan Mehmed II and Suleiman the Magnificent, created a resilient framework for ruling vast territories and diverse populations across three continents. At the heart of the narrative are three crucial elements that defined Ottoman success: the evolution of central authority, the development of sophisticated bureaucratic systems, and the integration of diverse populations through flexible administrative practices.

 
The book provides fascinating insights into unique Ottoman institutions, such as the devshirme system, which recruited talented Christian youth into state service, and the timar system of land management that supported their military structure. These administrative innovations demonstrate the empire's remarkable ability to balance central control with regional autonomy.

 
Drawing from extensive Ottoman archival sources, court documents, and contemporary accounts, the work presents a comprehensive analysis of how the empire maintained its power through a combination of military might and administrative adaptability. While the narrative spans from the empire's formation in 1299 to its golden age in the 16th century, it particularly emphasizes the revolutionary reforms following the conquest of Constantinople in 1453, showing how Ottoman governance systems influenced future state-building efforts and continue to offer relevant insights for understanding modern governmental organizations.

Higher Admissions - The Rise and...

Nicholas Lemann

In the 1930s, American colleges and universities began to screen applications using the SAT, a mass-administered, IQ-descended standardized test. The widespread adoption of the test accompanied the development of the world's first mass higher education system—and served to promote the idea that the United States was becoming a "meritocracy." In Higher Admissions, Nicholas Lemann reflects on the state of America's aspirational meritocracy and the enduring value and meaning of standardized testing. 
 
 
 
Lemann writes that the anticipation of the Supreme Court's 2023 decision banning affirmative action, plus the Covid pandemic, led hundreds of universities to stop requiring standardized admissions tests; now a handful of elite universities are reinstituting test requirements. The country is preoccupied with the admissions policies of the most selective universities, but Lemann redirects our attention to an alternate path that American higher education can still take—one that emphasizes a significant upgrade of the entire higher education system. Lemann argues that to improve the state of higher education overall, we should focus not on the narrow chokepoint of admission to highly selective colleges, but on efforts to create as much meaningful opportunity for flourishing in our vast higher education system for as many people as possible.
