Summary

Birth of Madagascar delves into the formative history of Madagascar, examining how its unique geography shaped the island's early societies, trade networks, and cultural identity. The book highlights how Madagascar's isolation and diverse microclimates spurred unprecedented cultural and biological evolution. Intriguingly, the island's early inhabitants, migrating primarily from Southeast Asia and Africa, developed ingenious agricultural practices and resource management strategies tailored to their local environments, showcasing an exceptional ability to adapt and innovate.

 
The book synthesizes archaeological evidence, linguistic analysis, and historical texts to paint a rich portrait of Madagascar's past, incorporating insights from botany and zoology to understand human impact on the island's unique flora and fauna. Structured into three sections, it explores the development of early settlements, the emergence of regional kingdoms and trade networks, and the evolution of Malagasy culture. This approach connects human actions with environmental consequences, providing a holistic understanding of Madagascar's early history.

Sabotage! - An In-Depth...

Chris Wroblewski, Garth Barnard

On the night of July 4, 1943, transport aircraft Liberator AL523 took off from Gibraltar's North Front tarmac and within moments crashed into the sea with only one survivor, the pilot. The commander-in-chief of the Polish army and prime minister of the Polish government-in-exile, General Wladyslaw Sikorski, was dead. 
 
 
 
Rumors as to the cause of the crash abounded. Was it pilot error? Was it, as officially classified, merely an accident, or was it, as the authors conclude in this riveting and meticulous study, an act of sabotage? 
 
 
 
In this extensive piece of research, Chris Wroblewski and Garth Barnard examine numerous primary sources, including the complete court of inquiry transcripts, produce detailed analysis of aircraft components and systems, and unearth many little-known eyewitness accounts to give this investigation a compelling conclusion. Within the book the authors also dispel several conspiracy theories that have emerged since this catastrophe; particularly that this event was a disastrous assassination attempt with blame on the British, Soviets, and Nazis. 
 
 
 
This is an exhaustive piece of investigative journalism that puts the record straight once and for all.

Believe - A Memoir in Stories

Christina H Wilson

At 36 years old, Christina had it all...two young and healthy boys, an uber successful husband, and a big house in a gated-golf course community. She was young, rich, and on top of the world. On the morning of September 11, 2000, a devastating call would up-end everything and life as she knew it. While this cataclysmic event didn't mark the beginning of end of her life, it would be the test of her character, agency and faith. This book offers insight to a life journey that is extraordinary yet profoundly human. It's the chronical of an evolution from a frail child into a woman shaped by intense love, incredible upheavals, and ultimately, deep personal wisdom. Beginning with a childhood marked by illness and solitude, books and fairytales became Christina's refuge and compass. These influences weave throughout her life and the stories, not as naive fantasies, but as emotional frameworks that conflict with the sharp edges of her reality. Life takes a dramatic turn when at 25, Christina meets Jeffrey, a Wall Street Titan, whose fast-paced existence is worlds away from her quiet, reflective nature. The connection is immediate and all-consuming. Their life becomes exhilarating, fantastical, and materially abundant. The heart of this memoir is the defining moment when an unexpected phone call changes everything. This moment acts as a fault-line in Christina's life, splitting everything into a before and after. From this point on, the story becomes less about the external events and more about the quiet but radical life-changing shifts in Christina's understanding about self, love, loss, and destiny. At it's core, this story is about transformation that only comes when we are challenged and stripped of control and what we know. It's about learning to let life present itself with patience and understanding. This book is a tapestry of life-lesson stories woven together by themes of self-discovery, unconditional love, tragedy, spirituality, family, inner-strength, and grief.

Settler Militarism - World War...

Juliet Nebolon

Under martial law during World War II, Hawai'i was located at the intersection of home front and war front. In Settler Militarism, Juliet Nebolon shows how settler colonialism and militarization simultaneously perpetuated, legitimated, and concealed one another in wartime Hawai'i for the purposes of empire building in Asia and the Pacific Islands. She demonstrates how settler militarism operated through a regime of racial liberal biopolitics that purported to protect all people in Hawai'i, even as it intensified the racial and colonial differentiation of Kanaka Maoli, Asian settlers, and white settlers. Nebolon identifies settler militarism's inherent contradiction: It depends on life, labor, and land to reproduce itself, yet it avariciously consumes, via violent and extractive projects, those same lives and natural resources that it needs to subsist. From vaccination and blood bank programs to the administration of internment and prisoner-of-war camps, Nebolon reveals how settler militarism and racial liberal biopolitics operated together in the service of capitalism. Collectively, the social reproduction of these regimes created the conditions for the late-twentieth-century expansion of United States military empire.
