  An engrossing chronicle of the Fourth Crusade and the fall of the Holy Roman Empire, from the bestselling author of Thermopylae. 
   
   
   
  At the dawn of the thirteenth century, Constantinople stood as the bastion of Christianity in Eastern Europe. The capital city of the Byzantine Empire, it was a center of art, culture, and commerce that had commanded trading routes between Asia, Russia, and Europe for hundreds of years. But in 1204, the city suffered a devastating attack that would spell the end of the Holy Roman Empire. 
   
   
    
  The army of the Fourth Crusade had set out to reclaim Jerusalem, but under the sway of their Venetian patrons, the crusaders diverted from their path in order to lay siege to Constantinople. With longstanding tensions between the Roman Catholic and Eastern Orthodox churches, the crusaders set arms against their Christian neighbors, destroying a vital alliance between Eastern and Western Rome. 
   
   
    
  In The Great Betrayal, historian Ernle Bradford brings to life this powerful tale of envy and greed, demonstrating the far-reaching consequences this siege would have across Europe for centuries to come.

  Practical Applications of Taoism...

  SULI Daniel Johnson

  I decided to write this book after having written several books on the applications of Taoism in different areas. The applications of Taoism are broad. For everything that has been written, it remains poorly understood. There are several reasons for this. I have practiced Taoism for most of my life. I studied under a Taoist Master and spent many years in a temple. I have read a great deal on the subject. I have discovered that most of what is written is unclear and, in many cases, misleading. Having practiced Taoism for most of my life, I live the Tao, and I have helped others to live it. The reason why it's so difficult to describe Tao because people are attempting to do so through the lens of cognitive understanding and science. The Taoist perspective is completely different, so it does not lend itself well to be described through science or logic. In attempting to cast Taoism in terms of logic or science, most of what makes it unique and effective is lost.. To understand the Tao, you need to live it. 
  I teach aspects of this system to individuals and businesses. On the surface, the system is simple and fundamental. For this reason, many people are tempted to pass it off as being nothing more than insubstantial fluff. However, Taoism is much more than this. I will attempt in this book to explain what Taoism is. I will explain its different perspectives, how to experience it, and how to use it as a functional tool. Within this book and the second one, I will also teach many skills and techniques to develop your Taoist insight. This will help you operate more effectively within the world around you. 
  I will teach you how to use it to make pragmatic changes in your life. It can also be applied to improving business skills and other applications within your jobs or careers. Its applications can span creativity to the organization.

  United Arab Emirates Conquering...

  Sébastien Boussois

  The United Arab Emirates has emerged in a few decades to sell itself as an enlightened, modern, liberal beacon in the midst of a dark and chaotic Arab world. As the first country in the region to implement a "Vision" (Abu Dhabi Vision 2030), the UAE quickly became a resounding success beyond its borders. This is the bright side. 
  The dark side: the UAE contributes to the stifling of democracies in Muslim countries. When they are not waging war, as in Yemen, they interfere, as no Arab power has done before, in the affairs of other countries, namely, Algeria, Egypt, Syria, Sudan, Tunisia. 
  Abu Dhabi does not care about the Arab revolutions - for ten years, the country has engaged in a powder keg policy, which heralds new dangers for the region's equilibrium.

  Why It's OK to Eat Meat

  Dan C. Shahar

  In Why It's OK to Eat Meat, Dan C. Shahar argues the answer is no: it's entirely possible to be an ethical person while continuing to eat meat—and not just the "fancy" offerings from the farmers' market but also the regular meat we find at most supermarkets and restaurants. Shahar's examination forcefully echoes vegetarians' concerns about the meat industry's impacts on animals, workers, the environment, and public health. However, he shows that the most influential ethical arguments for avoiding meat on the basis of these considerations are ultimately unpersuasive. Instead of insisting we all become vegetarians, Shahar argues each of us has broad latitude to choose which of the world's problems to tackle. 
   
   
   
  Key Features include: 
   
   
   
  ● First book-length defense of meat-eating written for a popular audience 
   
   
   
  ● Punchy, accessible introduction to the multifaceted debate over the ethics of eating meat 
   
   
   
  ● Includes pioneering new examinations of humane labeling practices 
   
   
   
  ● Shows why appeals to universalized patterns of behavior can't vindicate vegetarians' claims that there's a duty to avoid meat 
   
   
   
  ● Develops a novel theory of ethical activism with potential applications to a wide range of other issues
