  Gods and Legends - Exploring the...

  Mythology has been an integral part of human civilization for thousands of years, shaping cultures, religions, and societal values. Across the world, ancient civilizations created elaborate myths to explain the mysteries of existence, from the origins of the universe to the forces of nature and the fate of the soul after death. These myths were more than just stories—they were the foundation of belief systems, influencing laws, traditions, and even the structure of governments. Whether told through oral traditions, inscribed on temple walls, or recorded in sacred texts, these legends provided meaning and guidance to those who followed them.  
    
  One of the most fascinating aspects of mythology is how civilizations separated by vast distances often shared similar themes. Myths of powerful gods, epic battles between good and evil, creation and destruction, and the hero’s journey appear in cultures across the globe. The Egyptian sun god Ra, the Greek titan Prometheus, and the Mesopotamian king Gilgamesh all embody different versions of the same fundamental human questions: Who are we? Where did we come from? What is our purpose? These universal themes suggest that myths were not just the product of imagination but reflections of the fears, aspirations, and wisdom of ancient societies.

  Germany Between the World Wars:...

  The Weimar Republic has become a byword for a failed, tragic, political experiment. The official period of its existence, 1919-1933, marked the inter-war years in Germany and their related uncertainty, chaos and the state’s ultimate collapse. Historians have found the roots of Nazism embedded in the Weimar years and that in the final analysis, Weimar politicians voluntarily handed over power to the man who wrought destruction on an epic scale, Adolf Hitler. Yet the Weimar era encapsulated a number of trends and fissures within German society, as well as the international community. The Weimar Republic was a prisoner of events and in the long run had little power to shape them. Historians are fond of interpreting the past as a tension between human agency, that is to say decision-making, and structural developments that evade individual choices. Both these interpretations are crucial when examining the tumultuous years of Germany’s Weimar Republic. 
  The early 1930s were a tumultuous period for German politics, even in comparison to the ongoing transition to the modern era that caused various forms of chaos throughout the rest of the world. In the United States, reliance on the outdated gold standard and an absurdly parsimonious monetary policy helped bring about the Great Depression. Meanwhile, the Empire of Japan began its ultimately fatal adventurism with the invasion of Manchuria, alienating the rest of the world with the atrocities it committed.  
  It was in Germany, however, that the strongest seeds of future tragedy were sown. The struggling Weimar Republic had become a breeding ground for extremist politics, including two opposed and powerful authoritarian entities: the right-wing National Socialists and the left-wing KPD Communist Party. As the 1930s dawned, these two totalitarian groups held one another in a temporary stalemate, enabling the fragile ghost of democracy to continue a largely illusory survival for a few more years.

  Sanctions - What Everyone Needs...

  A concise, authoritative overview of a little-understood yet extremely important phenomenon in world politics: the use of economic sanctions by one country to punish another. 
   
   
   
  It's hard to browse the news without seeing reports of yet another imposition of sanctions by one country on another. The United States has sanctions against more than thirty countries. Russia has repeatedly imposed sanctions against former Soviet republics. China has developed its own approach, including targeting private entities such as the NBA. And it's not just major powers: Japan and South Korea have sanctioned each other over WWII and colonial legacies; Saudi Arabia against Qatar because of differences over Iran; and France, Germany, and Norway against Brazil over the Amazon forest and climate change. In Sanctions: What Everyone Needs to Know®, Bruce Jentleson—one of America's leading scholars on the subject—answers the fundamental questions about sanctions today: Why are they used so much? What are their varieties? What are the key factors affecting their success? Why have they become the tool of first resort for states engaged in international conflict? Jentleson demonstrates that examining sanctions is key to understanding international relations and explains how and why they will likely continue to bear on global politics.
