Аудиокнига британского историка Роджера Кроули — это яркое повествование о непримиримой борьбе за контроль над торговлей пряностями в XVI веке. Автор увлекательно рассказывает о том, как амбиции португальских и испанских мореплавателей, в частности Васко да Гамы и Магеллана, а также местных правителей, привели к масштабным столкновениям между главными морскими державами и геополитическим сдвигам. Основная идея книги заключается в том, что именно битва за пряности, казалось бы, не самый важный товар, послужила катализатором становления современной мировой экономической и политической системы.

This shocking exposé of a true-life Orwellian plot of nightmarish proportions reveals the chilling events of November 1984 following Indira Gandhi’s assassination and the cover-up by the Indian government.

This Very Short Introduction looks at Pakistan as one of the two nation-states of the Indian subcontinent that emerged in 1947. Pippa Virdee reaches into the ancient past to demonstrate the influence of trajectories of human settlement and civilization on Pakistan's contemporary political arena, and shows how the longer continuities between the land and its peoples are as important as the short-term changes in the political landscape. She considers Pakistan's religion and society, the state and the military, everyday life, popular culture, languages and literature.

Yoga is so prevalent in the modern world - practiced by pop stars, taught in schools, and offered in yoga centers, health clubs, and even shopping malls - that we take its presence, and its meaning, for granted. But how did the current yoga boom happen? And is it really rooted in ancient Indian practices, as many of its adherents claim? In this groundbreaking book, Mark Singleton calls into question many commonly held beliefs about the nature and origins of postural yoga (asana) and suggests a radically new way of understanding the meaning of yoga as it is practiced by millions today.
