Sinopsis

Byzantine Sieges explores the pivotal role of sieges in shaping the Byzantine Empire's relationship with the Middle East. It examines how these prolonged military encounters not only determined territorial control but also spurred cultural exchange and economic shifts. The book dives into specific sieges, such as those of Constantinople, to reveal the military strategies and technologies employed by both the Byzantines and their adversaries like the Arab Caliphates and Persian Empire. 

 
One intriguing aspect is the examination of how sieges affected civilian populations and strained resources, highlighting the broader societal impact of these military campaigns. The book uniquely combines detailed military analysis with insights into the social, economic, and cultural consequences of siege warfare, setting it apart from purely military accounts. By drawing on primary sources like Byzantine chronicles and archaeological findings, Byzantine Sieges provides a nuanced interpretation of these historical events.

 
The book begins by establishing the strategic context of the Byzantine Middle East and the evolution of siege warfare, then progresses to analyzing specific sieges and concludes with an assessment of their long-term ramifications on conflict, cultural interactions, and regional geopolitics.

Pharmanomics - How Big Pharma...

Nick Dearden

In Pharmanomics, investigative journalist Nick Dearden digs down into the way we produce our medicines and finds that Big Pharma is failing us, with catastrophic consequences. 
 
 
 
Big Pharma is more interested in profit than health. This was made clear as governments rushed to produce vaccines during the Covid pandemic. Behind the much-trumpeted scientific breakthroughs, major companies found new ways of gouging billions from governments in the West while abandoning the Global South. But this is only the latest episode in a long history of financializing medicine—from Purdue's rapacious marketing of highly addictive OxyContin through Martin Shkreli's hiking the price of a lifesaving drug to the 4.5 million South Africans needlessly deprived of HIV/AIDS medication. 
 
 
 
Since the 1990s, Big Pharma has gone out of its way to protect its property through the patent system. As a result, the business has focused not on researching new medicines but on building monopolies. This system has helped restructure our economy away from invention and production in order to benefit financial markets. It has fundamentally reshaped the relationship between richer and poorer countries, as the access to new medicines and the permission to manufacture them is ruthlessly policed. In response, Dearden offers a pathway to a fairer, safer system for all.
