Sinossi

In "The History of Muslims in Spain," Stanley Lane-Poole meticulously chronicles the significant yet often overlooked impact of Muslim civilization on the Iberian Peninsula. Drawing on a rich tapestry of historical narratives, Lane-Poole employs a narrative style that marries scholarly rigor with vivid descriptions, bringing to life the vibrant culture, remarkable architecture, and intellectual advancements of Muslim Spain. Set against the backdrop of the Reconquista, the book delves into the complexities of religious coexistence and the socio-political dynamics of the time, providing invaluable insights into a pivotal era that shaped modern Europe. Stanley Lane-Poole, a distinguished historian and Arabist, was profoundly influenced by the socio-political intricacies he observed in the Middle East and North Africa during the late 19th century. His extensive travels and academic pursuits in Islamic studies fostered a deep admiration for the contributions of Muslim cultures to Western civilization. Lane-Poole's dedication to unveiling historical truths makes this work an essential exploration of the Muslim influence that thrived in Spain for nearly eight centuries. This book is highly recommended for anyone interested in the historical interplay between Islam and Europe, as well as those seeking a deeper understanding of the cultural and intellectual legacy of the Islamic world.

Wild Democracy - Anarchy Courage...

Anne Norton

Wild Democracy calls for a more anarchic, more courageous democracy. This is an ethic for people who know the rights they hold, and who struggle to rule themselves. This is an ethic for unfinished revolutions; an ethic for those who will not be mastered. This is an ethic for those who hold fast to the rights they have by nature. 
 
 
 
Democracy is always a risky business; full of promise and danger. The promise is the freedom to rule ourselves. The danger is fear: fear of the unknown, fear of the unruly, fear of one another, fear of anarchy. The fearful look for a strong hand, a powerful leader, a protector, a gun. Anarchy leads to courage, to self-reliance, self-discipline, self-rule, and solidarity. Anarchy is the nursery of democracy. It is not anarchy we have to fear, it is authoritarianism. 
 
 
 
We have been taught to see the people as a problem to be managed. Anne Norton sees them as a source of strength. Anarchic democracy grows wild: springing from the everyday actions of ordinary human beings. 
 
 
 
Liberalism and conservatism alike have turned away from the democratic, to institutions, rules, and regulations. Anne Norton turns to anarchic people who practice democratic ethics.

Dutch East India Company and...

Editors Charles River

To many, the mention of maritime merchants evokes an imagery of growling pirates donned in their stereotypical hats and a colorful parrot perched upon their shoulders. These nautical rascals wander the high seas in search of treasure and adventure. Though that imagery may be inaccurate, the real life companies that once dominated international waters operated on a similar thirst for conquest and riches. 
	Perhaps the most famous – or as many would put it, infamous – of these naval corporations was the Dutch East India Company, also known as V O C. Established around the beginning of the 17th century, this nautical behemoth of a corporation was determined to squeeze everyone else out of the market. Vested with the power to wage war and exterminate any who dared stand in their way, the rest of the world stood by as the unstoppable force took over the whole of international maritime trade. The company would crush its opponents on the way to the top, establishing a monopoly on the global spice trade that would not only rock the world but forever change the course of modern business history.  
	Likewise, the British East India Company served as one of the key players in the formation of the British Empire. From its origins as a trading company struggling to keep up with its superior Dutch, Portuguese, and Spanish competitors to its tenure as the ruling authority of the Indian subcontinent to its eventual hubristic downfall, the East India Company serves as a lens through which to explore the much larger economic and social forces that shaped the formation of a global British Empire. As a private company that became a non-state global power in its own right, the East India Company also serves as a cautionary tale all too relevant to the modern world’s current political and economic situation.
