  Stone by Stone - The Magnificent...

  There once may have been 250,000 miles of stone walls in America's Northeast, stretching farther than the distance to the moon. And even though most are crumbling today, they contain a magnificent scientific and cultural story. 
   
   
   
  Stone walls tell nothing less than the story of how New England was formed, and in Robert Thorson's hands they live and breathe. Millions of years ago, New England's stones belonged to ancient mountains thrust up by prehistoric collisions between continents. Buried again over centuries by forest and soil buildup, the stones gradually worked their way back to the surface, only to become impediments to the farmers cultivating the land in the eighteenth century, who piled them into "linear landfills," a place to hold the stones. Usually the biggest investment on a farm, often exceeding that of the land and buildings combined, stone walls became a defining element of the Northeast's landscape, and a symbol of the shift to an agricultural economy. 
   
   
   
  Stone walls layer time like Russian dolls, their smallest elements reflecting the longest spans, and Thorson urges us to study them, for each stone has its own story. Linking geological history to the early American experience, Stone by Stone presents a fascinating picture of the land the Pilgrims settled, allowing us to see and understand it with new eyes.

  Great Britain and World War II:...

  Charles River Editors

  "My good friends," the mustached, bony man with thick eyebrows and large, strong teeth somewhat reminiscent of those of a horse, shouted to the crowds from the second-floor window of his house at 10 Downing Street, "this is the second time in our history, that there has come back to Downing Street from Germany peace with honor. I believe it is peace for our time." The man addressing the crowd, British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain, had just returned from the heart of Nazi Germany following negotiations with Adolf Hitler, and the crowd gathered outside the English leader's house on September 30, 1938 greeted these ringing words with grateful cheers.  
  Of course, the Munich Agreement is widely reviled today and is held up as the epitome of appeasement, but historians still debate its effects on the Second World War, as well as Neville Chamberlain's character and motivations. Some believe the attempted appeasement of Nazi Germany hastened, or even caused, the mayhem occupying the next seven years. Others believe that the pact merely failed to alter war's inevitable arrival in either direction. Historians and authors alternately interpret Chamberlain as a bumbling, arrogant fool, a strong-willed statesman who simply miscalculated the nature of Hitler and Nazi Germany. Another possible interpretation, with considerable documentary support, asserts Chamberlain wished to enlist Germany's aid against the state most Europeans perceived as the true threat of the era, the Soviet Union.  
  	Europe’s attempts to appease him, most notably at Munich in 1938, failed, as Nazi Germany swallowed up Austria and Czechoslovakia by 1939. Italy was on the march as well, invading Albania in April of 1939. The straw that broke the camel's back, however, was Germany's invasion of Poland on September 1 of that year. Two days later, France and Great Britain declared war on Germany, and World War II had begun in earnest.

  The Persian Continuum

  Santiago Machain

  The Persian Continuum traces how the Achaemenid Empire’s administrative genius, religious pragmatism, and infrastructural vision shaped a vast world stretching from the Aegean to the Indus—and how Alexander’s lightning conquests disrupted but did not erase that order. Through a sequence of richly drawn chapters, the book follows the Persian high tide under Xerxes, the long wars and negotiations with Greek city-states, and the empire’s resilient governance from Egypt to Bactria. It then charts Macedon’s rise under Philip II, Alexander’s campaigns and statecraft, and the striking continuity of Persian institutions under Hellenistic rulers. 
  Beyond conquest, the narrative explores what came after: Seleucid experiments in Greek cityhood layered over Iranian provincial rule, Parthian aristocratic federalism built on cavalry and caravan routes, and Sasanian resurgence with law, priesthood, and fortified frontiers. The final chapters bring the story into the present, revealing how Achaemenid ideas—satrapies and couriers, plural law and shared rituals, standardized coinage and road networks—continue to inform modern governance, diplomacy, and identity. Blending military history with economic systems, religious life, and everyday experience, the book illuminates how empires rise and endure, and how their vocabularies of order survive long after the names on the coins have changed.
