Sinopse

"Arctic Borders" explores the intensifying geopolitical competition in the Arctic region as melting ice opens new strategic possibilities. The book examines the historical roots and current legal battles surrounding territorial claims made by Russia, Canada, the United States, Denmark (Greenland), and Norway. Readers gain insight into how climate change is transforming the Arctic into a crucial arena for resource exploitation and military positioning, underscoring the urgent need to understand its evolving border dynamics.

 
One interesting fact highlighted is the inadequacy of current international legal frameworks, such as the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS), to resolve overlapping claims and ambiguities in the Arctic. For example, the legal status of the Northwest Passage and the Northern Sea Route remains contested, raising the potential for conflict.

 
The book's approach is to weave together historical analysis, legal scrutiny, and geopolitical strategy to provide a comprehensive view. Beginning with Arctic exploration history, the book progresses systematically through each nation's territorial ambitions and concludes with a discussion of Indigenous communities' rights.

 
This book is particularly valuable for policymakers, scholars, and anyone interested in international relations or environmental policy. By integrating legal, political, and environmental considerations, "Arctic Borders" offers a nuanced understanding of the Arctic's challenges and opportunities. It addresses the complex interplay between national sovereignty, international cooperation, and the sustainable development of this increasingly important region.

    Father Charles Coughlin (October 25, 1891 - October 27, 1979), was a controversial Canadian-American Catholic priest based in Michigan. Calling for monetary reforms, the nationalization of major industries and railroads, and protection of the rights of labor, Coughlin used weekly radio broadcasts to reach a mass audience of up to thirty million listeners during the 1930s. An early supporter of Franklin D. Roosevelt and his New Deal, Coughlin later became a harsh critic. Coughlin’s commentary also became more anti-semitic, and he supported some of the fascist policies of Hitler, Mussolini, and Hirohito. As a result, many American Catholic leaders, as well as the Vatican, wanted Coughlin silenced. After the outbreak of World War II in 1939, the Roosevelt administration finally forced the cancellation of his radio program and forbade the dissemination of his newspaper, Social Justice. In this recording, Coughlin discusses the concept of "unjust aggressors" both within the United States and abroad.

    Barry Cunliffe seeks to reveal this fascinating people for the first time, using an impressive range of evidence, and exploring subjects such as trade, migration, and the evolution of Celtic traditions.

    A prizewinning journalist with a background in neuroscience, Helen Thomson spent years tracking down people who live with the world's most extraordinary neurological disorders—like a man who tried to break his back because his legs no longer felt like his own, and another who believed that he was dead for nine years. Not content to simply read about these cases on paper, Thomson reached out to ten people with these afflictions, and they agreed to tell her their stories. 
    Leaving behind the scans and the clinical histories, Unthinkable ties the first-ever interviews with the people who have these rare conditions together with cutting-edge science. Through these incredible tales, Thomson casts a light on the chaos that the human mind can create. She shows us how these strange conditions hold the keys to unlocking the biggest mysteries of the human brain, and provide a deeper understanding of the human condition itself. 
    Combining careful observation with bold science and vibrant storytelling, Unthinkable takes us on a deep dive into the weirdest corners of our brain, and helps us to see our own creativity, our emotions, and our consciousness more clearly.

    This bundle of books brings the ancient world of Rome to life by immersing readers in the everyday experiences of its people. Far from the battles and politics that dominate history books, this volume explores how Roman citizens spent their days—from bustling markets in the forum to quiet evenings with family in modest insula apartments or rural villas. Readers will gain insight into the structure of Roman homes, the diet of the average citizen, and the significance of clothing, hygiene, and household roles in shaping Roman identity. 
    The second part of the book focuses on work and social structure. Whether farmers in the countryside, artisans in the city, or traders in the empire’s vast markets, Romans occupied a wide range of roles. The influence of slaves, apprenticeships, and labor guilds is discussed alongside the rising middle class and their contributions to the Roman economy. Readers will also learn about education for boys and girls, how marriage and divorce functioned, and the importance of public spaces like bathhouses, theaters, and circuses in daily life. 
    The final section explores Roman religious life—both public and private. From ancestor worship at household shrines to elaborate temple ceremonies for gods like Jupiter, Venus, and Mars, religion permeated every aspect of Roman existence. This section also covers omens, superstitions, and the Roman calendar of festivals that blended spirituality with community. Daily Roman Life presents a vivid portrait of a complex, vibrant society—reminding us that behind every empire are the lives of ordinary people who cooked, prayed, worked, and dreamed.

Diplomacy and political savvy also receive due attention, aspects sometimes overshadowed in Napoleon's narrative.While the "greater than" claim sparks debate, this book invites readers to ponder leadership, strategy, and the complexities of comparing historical figures. If Roman history, military tactics, or thought-provoking analysis pique your interest, "Scipio Africanus: Greater Than Napoleon" is worth a look, although keeping potential biases and limitations in mind.
