  First published in 2012, Borders: A Very Short Introduction began with the premise that "we live in a very bordered world." The intervening decade has witnessed a flurry of events and developments that continue to highlight the centrality of borders in contemporary domestic and international affairs, as well as the interstices between the two, including sudden surges in migrant and refugees flows; renewed emphasis on traditional border security and wall construction; growing tensions concerning maritime sovereignty; rapid advances in cybersecurity, surveillance, and biometrics; expanded detention and deportation infrastructures; proliferation of transborder organizations; revived populist and nationalist sentiments; and protectionist and integrationist trade practices, to name some prominent examples from recent headlines. 
   
   
   
  This revised edition accounts for recent developments including Brexit, the 2015 migration crisis across Europe, efforts to build a border wall between the United States and Mexico, growing isolationist and nativist sentiments, demands for indigenous homelands, transnational protest movements, Russian cross-border incursions, and insurgencies and rebellions across much of North Africa and Southwest Asia.

  First published in the late nineteenth century, The Chocolate-Plant (Theobroma cacao) and Its Products is a thorough and fascinating examination of one of the world’s most important—and beloved—plants. 
  Beginning with cacao’s origins in pre-Columbian Mesoamerica and its rapid spread through Europe, this work traces chocolate’s journey from indigenous drink to global commodity. It explores the botany of the cacao tree in careful detail, explaining its growth, flowering, pod-bearing habits, and the conditions required for successful cultivation. The book then follows cacao from harvest through fermentation, drying, roasting, and grinding, offering a clear account of how raw beans are transformed into chocolate and cocoa. 
  Blending science with industry, the text examines the chemical composition of cacao—including cocoa butter, starches, proteins, minerals, and theobromine—while addressing purity, quality, and digestibility. It argues for chocolate’s value not merely as a luxury, but as a genuine and nourishing food. The closing chapters turn practical, presenting period-authentic culinary guidance and recipes for preparing chocolate and cocoa for drinks, desserts, and confections. 
  Narrated by Jerry Dugan, this audiobook preserves a rare Victorian-era perspective on food science, industrial craftsmanship, and culinary tradition, making it an essential listen for anyone interested in food history, agricultural science, or the origins of modern chocolate.
