  ‘Popular history at its very best, thought-provoking and accessible. Underpinned by serious research, and written with panache, it summons up a vanished world’ SUNDAY TELEGRAPH 
  This is an astonishing new account of Alexander the Great – one of the most important figures of the ancient world, whose earlier years have until now been a mystery.  
  Alexander the Great’s story often reads like fiction: son to a snake-loving mother and a battle-scarred father; tutored by Aristotle; a youth from the periphery of the Greek world who took part in his first campaign aged sixteen, becoming king of Macedon at twenty and king of Asia by twenty-five; leading his armies into battle like a Homeric figure. 
  Each generation has peered through the frosted glass of history and come to their own conclusion about Alexander, be it enlightened ruler, military genius, megalomaniac, drunkard or despot. Yet the first two decades of his life have until now been a mystery – a matter of legend and myth. This extraordinary history draws on new discoveries in archaeology to tell the early story of Alexander and his rise – including detail on the tempestuous relationship between Alexander’s parents, Philip and the Molossian princess Olympias, his education by Aristotle and the strict military training which would serve him so well in later years. And more than ever, it emerges, the story of Alexander’s reign confronts us with difficult questions that are still relevant today – of the relationship between East and West, the legacy of colonialism and the impacts of authoritarian rule. 
  Drawing together startling modern archaeological discoveries, this book brings Alexander’s ancient world back into focus. With each fragment of this shattered past, excavated by shovel, pick and trowel, a new history is being written. The forgotten story of young Alexander is being unearthed. 
  This historical biography of Alexander the Great, written with a top-notch narrative style, delves into the heart of the Byzantine empire, shedding light on its civilisation. The book, a masterpiece by Alex Rowson, is a must-read for anyone interested in the social dynamics of ancient Greece. 
  For fans of Paul Cartledge (Thebes), Adrian Keith Goldsworthy (The Eagle and the Lion), Tom Holland (The Rest is History), Lloyd Llewellyn-Jones (Persians), and Alice Roberts (The Little Book of Humanism).

  The End of Feudalism - How...

  Feudalism was a social, political, and economic system that dominated medieval Europe, particularly from the 9th to the 15th century. Its structure was based on the exchange of land for loyalty, military service, and labor. At its core, feudalism established a hierarchical order in which the king, or monarch, granted land, known as fiefs, to vassals (nobles) in exchange for their service. In turn, these vassals would grant portions of their land to serfs or peasants, who worked the land in return for protection and sustenance. This land-based economy was highly localized, with power concentrated in the hands of a few, and much of daily life revolved around agricultural production. 
  The decline of feudalism did not happen overnight but was a gradual process influenced by several interconnected factors. Key to its decline was the increasing centralization of power by monarchs. As monarchs gained more control, often through military conquest or strategic marriages, they began to diminish the power of feudal lords. This shift marked the beginning of the nation-state as a powerful political entity, replacing the decentralized feudal system. Additionally, the rise of a money-based economy undermined the land-based economy that feudalism relied upon. The growth of trade, the development of markets, and the emergence of a merchant class further destabilized feudal structures. 
  Another critical event in the decline of feudalism was the Black Death in the 14th century. The plague decimated large portions of Europe’s population, resulting in severe labor shortages. This, in turn, weakened the traditional feudal relationships between lords and serfs. With fewer workers available, peasants were able to demand better conditions, higher wages, or even freedom from their obligations. This shift in labor dynamics helped to weaken the power of feudal lords, who could no longer rely on a subjugated, large labor force to maintain their estates.

  Psychopaths - Unraveling the...

  Psychopathy is a personality disorder characterized by a lack of empathy, manipulative behavior, and a disregard for social norms. While often associated with violent criminals, not all psychopaths engage in illegal activities. Many live among us, blending into society while exhibiting traits that set them apart. Understanding psychopathy requires examining its defining characteristics, how it differs from other disorders, and how it has been studied over time. 
  At the core of psychopathy is a profound emotional deficit. Psychopaths struggle to feel deep emotions such as guilt, remorse, or love. While they can mimic emotions to manipulate others, their reactions are often shallow and insincere. This emotional disconnect allows them to deceive, exploit, and harm others without experiencing the moral conflicts that most people do. Their ability to charm and manipulate makes them particularly dangerous, as they can easily gain trust and control over those around them. 
  A common misconception is that psychopathy and sociopathy are the same. While they share some similarities, they are distinct disorders. Psychopaths are typically more calculated, controlled, and charismatic. They can function in society, often excelling in careers that require persuasion and risk-taking. Sociopaths, on the other hand, are more impulsive and prone to emotional outbursts, making it harder for them to maintain stable relationships or careers. These differences highlight why some psychopaths remain undetected, while sociopaths are more likely to be caught for reckless behavior.
