Readers will gain insights into how these elements intertwine to influence national policies and international relations, making it a valuable resource for understanding contemporary security challenges. Structured to guide readers through foundational concepts, historical trajectories, and contemporary implications, the book utilizes primary source documents and scholarly research.

 
By connecting military alliances to broader fields like international law and political economy, Global Alliances provides a holistic perspective suitable for students, researchers, policymakers, and anyone interested in international relations and military history.

Being Really Confused - A Guide...

Sophia Blackwell

Ever opened Being and Time and wondered if your brain had a stroke? 
Ever wanted to understand Heidegger, but all you got was a migraine and a vague sense of personal failure? 
This is the book for you. 
Being Really Confused is the hilariously brutal, no-holds-barred, sarcasm-soaked guide to Martin Heidegger’s philosophical fever dream. Whether you’re a burned-out philosophy major, a curious masochist, or someone who just wants to sound terrifyingly deep at brunch, this book unpacks the most infamously unreadable thinker of the 20th century—with jokes, rants, and zero patience for pretension. 
Inside, you'll find: 
What “Dasein” actually means (spoiler: it’s just you, but anxious) 
How to ruin conversations with phrases like “Being-toward-death” 
Why “the they” is probably responsible for your haircut 
And how to survive Being and Time without filing a lawsuit against your own brain 
Equal parts roast and revelation, this book doesn’t just explain Heidegger—it drags him, hugs him, then drags him again. 
Read it if: 
You want to laugh at existential dread 
You love philosophy but hate suffering 
You’ve been pretending to understand Heidegger and want to finally maybe mean it 
Warning: May cause spontaneous existential crises, unbearable smugness, and the urge to buy a black turtleneck.

Did you know that Viking-age Swedes were the founding dynasty of what eventually became Russia? 
In contrast to their Danish and Norwegian cousins, Swedish Vikings traveled east rather than west in search of riches, land, and power.

The rise in TV shows and movies has renewed the people’s interest in Vikings, but the Swedish Vikings have been notably absent from these accounts.

In this heartfelt and reassuring guide, Hagerty explains how to preserve your personal history—from crafting a brief obituary for newspapers and websites, to a more thoughtful and detailed mini-memoir for those close to you. Through his personal stories, on-the-job anecdotes, and insights, you will learn what to include, what to leave out, and how to provide historical context, record oral histories, and make the most of details, all with candor and wit. Best of all, you'll find that reviewing your life story helps you think about what you're doing with your time on Earth and whether you're on the right path. It isn't too late to improve the narrative with a stronger ending.

The Black President - Hope and...

Claude A. Clegg III

In this first interpretative, comprehensive history of Barack Obama's presidency in its entirety, Claude A. Clegg III situates the former president in his dynamic, inspirational, yet contentious political context. He captures the America that made Obama's White House years possible, while insightfully rendering the America that resolutely resisted the idea of a Black chief executive, thus making conceivable the ascent of the most unlikely of his successors. In elucidating the Obama moment in American politics and culture, this book is also, at its core, a sweeping exploration of the Obama presidency's historical environment, impact, and meaning for African Americans—the tens of millions of people from every walk of life who collectively were his staunchest group of supporters and who most starkly experienced both the euphoric triumphs and dispiriting shortcomings of his years in office. Drawing on an expansive archive of materials, including government records, speeches, and insider accounts, The Black President will be required reading not only for historians, politics junkies, and Obama fans but also for anyone seeking to understand America's contemporary struggles with inequality, prejudice, and fear.
