Sinossi

"Caspian Empires" unveils the pivotal role of the Caspian Sea in shaping world history, demonstrating how it functioned as a stage for empires vying for control from antiquity to the early modern era. This fresh perspective on world history positions the inland sea as a key determinant of regional dominance, enabling empires to control trade routes, access vital resources, and exert military influence.

 
The book argues that successive empires strategically utilized the Caspian Sea to consolidate power and thwart rivals, highlighting a nuanced understanding of geopolitical power dynamics in a frequently overlooked region. For instance, the book examines how the Silk Road intersected with Caspian trade networks and how empires like the Achaemenids, Parthians, and Sasanians leveraged the sea for military and economic gains.

 
The book unfolds across three sections, beginning with the geographical and ecological significance of the Caspian Sea and the pre-imperial history of the region. It then examines the rise and fall of various empires including the Arab Caliphates, the Khazar Empire, and the Russian Empire, detailing their strategies for controlling the Caspian Sea. Finally, it assesses the long-term consequences of imperial competition, exploring the legacies of these empires on the region's cultural landscape and geopolitical dynamics.

 
By focusing on the Caspian Sea as a central actor, "Caspian Empires" offers unique insights into regional and global power dynamics, making it valuable for those interested in military history, world history, and geopolitical strategy.

    From the Booker–shortlisted author of Umbrella, a world-girdling collection of writings inspired by a life lived in and for literature 
     
    From one of the most unusual and distinctive writers working today, Will Self’s Why Read is a cornucopia of thoughtful and brilliantly witty essays on writing and literature. 
     
    Self takes us with him: from the foibles of his typewriter repairman to the irradiated exclusion zone of Chernobyl, to the Australian outback, and to literary forms past and future. With his characteristic intellectual brio, Self aims his inimitable eye at titans of literature like Woolf, Kafka, Orwell, and Conrad. He  
    writes movingly on W. G. Sebald’s childhood in Germany and provocatively describes the elevation of William S. Burroughs’s Junky from shocking pulp novel to beloved cult classic. Self also expands on his regular column in Literary Hub to ask readers how, what, and ultimately why we should read in an  
    ever-changing world. Whether he is writing on the rise of the bookshelf as an item of furniture in the nineteenth century or on the impossibility of Googling his own name in a world lived online, Self’s trademark intoxicating prose and mordant, energetic humor infuse every piece. 
     
    A book that examines how the human stream of consciousness flows into and out of literature, Why Read will satisfy both old and new readers of this icon of contemporary literature.

    Comeback - Routing Trumpism...

    The fate of American democracy now hinges on the Democrats' ability to defeat the Republicans for the foreseeable future. But for the Democrats to win consistently, they must reestablish their credentials as fearless leaders, tough fighters, and fierce patriots. 
    Comeback delivers a bold new take on democracy’s crisis. Many liberals think that escalating economic anxieties and cultural backlash drove voters to Trump. But a crush of data shows this thinking to be deeply flawed. It also strikes working-class voters as condescending and repellent. And while the Democrats stick to “kitchen table” issues and showing how much they care, voters care more about strength and commitment to principle than prescription drug prices. 
    Politics is a dominance game and a contest to capture the flag. Politicians who seem to be the strongest leaders and most passionate patriots hold the advantage. The Republicans get it. The Democrats don't. 
    Republicans have a high-dominance political style. They take risks, savor conflict, and use provocative language. Democrats have a low-dominance style. They’re risk-averse, afraid to engage on cultural issues—and more than a little boring. Republicans hammer away at their patriotism, even as they betray the nation and shred American values. Democrats are loyal to American values but have grown squeamish about patriotism and have no national story. 
    Ordinary people often don’t recognize themselves in the stories liberal politicians tell about them, while the authoritarians speak a language of dominance and national greatness that connects. The Democrats need a new approach to messaging. Comeback spells it out—and provides a roadmap for trouncing Trumpism.

    William’s memoir, THE PARTS OF HIM I KEPT (Apprentice House. 2025), is an intimate account of a daughter’s coming of age in the face of her father’s schizophrenic unraveling. Williams investigates the limits of our medical and cultural understanding of schizophrenia while chronicling the shared burden and benefits of caring for a mentally ill family member. In the tradition of Ocean Vuong’s On Earth We Are Briefly Gorgeous and Robert Kolker’s Hidden Valley Road, this is one family’s story that asks us to consider the ways mental illness is as much a social issue as a biological condition and illuminates ways we find hope, and even thrive in the face of the extraordinary challenge of mental illness
