  Empire of God - How the...

  Robert Spencer

  Western civilization is generally regarded as the child of Athens, Jerusalem, and Rome. That is, in the West, our philosophical and political thought is derived from that of the ancient Greeks; our Christian religion comes from the Jewish religion, and both of these came to us via the Roman Empire. 
   
   
   
  Western society has other forefathers as well: we would be unwise to give the Byzantine Empire short shrift. The ways in which it has influenced our world for the good, and indeed, created the parameters of our society at its healthiest and strongest, are insufficiently appreciated today. 
   
   
   
  If the United States were to last as long as the Roman Empire, including its Byzantine period, it would have to continue as an independent country until the year 2899. To maintain a unified nation state for over eleven hundred years is a remarkable achievement by any standard, and the Romans accomplished it while facing existential threats and efforts to extinguish their polity during virtually every period of their existence. Now, nearly six hundred years after the demise of the empire, its influence still resonates in a number of fields. 
   
   
   
  There is no arguing with success. It's time we took notice.

  Genocide

  Beginning with Donald Trump’s return to power and culminating in the White House’s bombastic claim of a historic ‘peace deal’, Drury exposes how Western governments, fully aware of Israel’s methods, deepened their political, military, and moral investment in a project of ethnic cleansing. 
   
  Opening amid the surreal theatre of Trump’s Knesset address and the Sharm el-Sheikh Peace Summit, the audibobook dissects the spectacle, the personalities, and the power relations that excluded the oppressed while rewarding the oppressor. With his standard meticulous research, Drury traces how bombardment, starvation, prison brutality, and territorial expansion were not aberrations but strategy, enabled by Western arms, finance, and diplomatic cover. 
   
  He unpicks the Trump–Netanyahu alliance, the mythology of Iran, and the relentless colonisation of Gaza and the West Bank, showing how ‘peace’ was framed around Israel’s entitlements alone. Urgent, unsettling, and essential, Western Washed Genocide argues that without Western sponsorship, this catastrophe could neither have occurred nor continued – and that accountability can no longer be deferred.

  When Trees Testify - Science...

  This stunning cultural and personal reclamation of Black history and Black botanical mastery offers up lessons from the natural world shared through the stories of long-lived trees. The histories of trees in America are also the histories of Black Americans. Pecan trees were domesticated by an enslaved African named Antoine; sycamore trees were both havens and signposts for people trying to escape enslavement; poplar trees are historically associated with lynching; and willow bark has offered the gift of medicine. These trees, and others, testify not only to the complexity of the Black American narrative but also to a heritage of Black botanical expertise that, like Native American traditions, predates the United States entirely. In When Trees Testify, award-winning plant biologist Beronda L. Montgomery explores the ways seven trees—as well as the cotton shrub—are intertwined with Black history and culture. She reveals how knowledge surrounding these trees has shaped America since the very beginning. As Montgomery shows, trees are material witnesses to the lives of enslaved Africans and their descendants. Combining the wisdom of science and history with stories from her own path to botany, Montgomery talks to majestic trees, and in this unique and compelling narrative, they answer.
