Beschreibung

Trans Pacific offers a fresh perspective on world history by exploring the Pacific Ocean not as a barrier, but as a dynamic arena for exchange long before European contact. The book challenges Eurocentric views of globalization, revealing the ingenuity and agency of Asian, American, and Oceanic societies in shaping global interactions. It traces the intricate routes of trade, migration, and exploration that connected disparate civilizations, impacting the trajectory of world history.

The book first introduces geographical factors and pre-Columbian voyages, highlighting early contact. Then, it examines the transformations brought about by European exploration, focusing on the pivotal role of Manila and the Silver Trade. Finally, it analyzes the long-term consequences of these exchanges, including cultural blending and the spread of diseases.

By understanding the pre-existing connectivity across the Pacific, the book compels a re-evaluation of traditional narratives of globalization, acknowledging the contributions of Pacific societies. With an accessible writing style, Trans Pacific interweaves historical analysis with insights from anthropology, archaeology, and oceanography. By drawing from diverse sources, including archaeological findings, indigenous oral histories, and colonial records, the book provides a comprehensive understanding of trans-Pacific interactions, making it a valuable resource for students, scholars, and anyone interested in world history, travel, and exploration.

How to Stop a Conspiracy - An...

Sallust, Josiah Osgood

In 63 BC, frustrated by his failure to be elected leader of the Roman Republic, the aristocrat Catiline tried to topple its elected government. Backed by corrupt elites and poor, alienated Romans, he fled Rome while his associates plotted to burn the city and murder its leading politicians. The attempted coup culminated with the unmasking of the conspirators in the Senate, a stormy debate that led to their execution, and the defeat of Catiline and his legions in battle. In How to Stop a Conspiracy, Josiah Osgood presents a brisk, modern new translation of the definitive account of these events, Sallust's The War with Catiline. 
 
 
 
In a taut, jaw-dropping narrative, Sallust combines juicy details about Catiline and his louche associates with highly quotable moral judgments and a wrenching description of the widespread social misery they exploited. Along the way, we get unforgettable portraits of the bitter and haunted Catiline, who was sympathetic to the plight of Romans yet willing to destroy Rome; his archenemy Cicero, who thwarts the conspiracy; and Julius Caesar, who defends the conspirators and is accused of being one of them. Complete with an introduction that discusses how The War with Catiline has shaped and continues to shape our understanding of how republics live and die, this volume makes Sallust's gripping history more accessible than ever before.
