William Milligan Sloane, an eminent historian and professor, was profoundly influenced by the tumultuous political realities of his own time, particularly the complexities of governance and leadership.

Sloane's extensive travels in Europe and his dedication to primary sources underline his commitment to present an accurate and nuanced portrayal of Napoleon that transcends mere admiration or vilification. This ambitious four-volume series is essential reading for anyone interested in military history, political science, or the intricacies of leadership. Sloane'Äôs authoritative narrative and scholarly diligence render it a valuable resource for both scholars and general readers alike, offering profound insights into the legacy of Napoleon Bonaparte and its relevance to contemporary society.

    After years of working at the ends of the earth in human rights and development, Brent Preston and his wife were die-hard city dwellers. But when their second child arrived, the shine came off urban living. In 2003 they bought a hundred acres and a rundown farmhouse and set out to build a real farm, one that would sustain their family, nourish their community, heal their environment, and turn a profit. The New Farm is Preston’s memoir of a decade of grinding toil and perseverance. Farming is a complex and precarious business, and they made plenty of mistakes along the way. But as they learned how to grow food, and to succeed at the business of farming, they also found that a small, sustainable, organic farm could be an engine for change, a path to a more just and sustainable food system. Today, The New Farm supplies top restaurants, supports community food banks, hosts events with leading chefs, and grows extraordinary produce. Told with humor and heart, The New Farm is a joy, a passionate book by an important new voice.

    From the author of Memory and the Mediterranean, a comprehensive history of the Italian city states from 1450 to 1650. 
     
     
     
    In the fifteenth century, even before the city states of the Apennine Peninsula began to coalesce into what would become, several centuries later, a nation, "Italy" exerted enormous influence over all of Europe and throughout the Mediterranean. Its cultural, economic, and political dominance is utterly astonishing and unique in world history. Viewing the Italy (the many Italies?) of that time through the lens of today allows us to gather a fragmented, multi-faceted, and seemingly contradictory history into a single unifying narrative that speaks to our current reality as much as it does to a specific historical period. This is what the acclaimed French historian, Fernand Braudel, achieves here. He brings to life the two extraordinary centuries that span the Renaissance, Mannerism, and the Baroque and analyzes the complex interaction between art, science, politics, and commerce during Italy's extraordinary cultural flowering.

    The war in Ukraine has taken its toll on the stability of the Balkans by reshuffling regional geopolitics and reviving diplomatic competition between the West and Russia. Since the summer of 2022, growing tensions between Kosovo and Serbia have raised concerns about a possible Russian involvement and pushed the European Union to react promptly. By brokering a new normalisation agreement, the West seeks to prevent new hotbeds in Europe and push Russia one step back from the Balkans. Meanwhile, the Russian invasion of Ukraine has given new momentum to the integration process of candidate states, making EU membership a tangible goal rather than an unattainable dream.
    Will the EU be able to stabilise the Balkans? Will Russia continue to exert its influence in the region? Are Belgrade and Pristina on the eve of a new phase in the normalisation process?

    The Founding Presidents of the United States played a pivotal role in shaping the early direction of the nation. Their leadership laid the groundwork for the establishment of a new republic and the principles that would guide the country for generations. George Washington, the first President, set the tone for the presidency itself. His leadership during the Revolutionary War had earned him widespread admiration, and when the new government was formed, Washington was unanimously chosen as the first leader of the United States. His presidency established many of the precedents for the executive branch, including the creation of a Cabinet, the two-term limit, and the peaceful transfer of power. 
    Washington’s leadership was tested with several challenges during his presidency, most notably the issue of neutrality in foreign affairs. As tensions rose between France and Great Britain, Washington carefully navigated the country through these conflicts, urging the nation to avoid entanglement in European wars. His Farewell Address warned against permanent foreign alliances and political factions, offering advice that would resonate throughout American history. Washington’s decision to step down after two terms also set a significant precedent that would shape the expectations of future presidents. 
    Following Washington’s tenure, John Adams became the second President of the United States. A Federalist and a key figure in the early American Revolution, Adams had been a vocal advocate for independence and the formation of a strong central government. His presidency, however, was marked by political divisions and foreign policy struggles. The most notable event during his administration was the Quasi-War with France, which resulted from tensions over the French Revolution and the actions of the French government against American shipping.
