This audiobook examines the meteoric rise of Sweden as the pre-eminent military power in Europe during the Thirty Years War during the 1600s, and then follows its line of warrior kings into the next century until the Swedes finally meet their demise, in an overreach into the vastness of Russia. A small Scandinavian nation, with at most one and a half million people and scant internal resources of its own, there was small logic to how Sweden could become the dominant power on the Continent.

Why did humans abandon hunting and gathering for sedentary communities dependent on livestock and cereal grains and governed by precursors of today's states? Most people believe that plant and animal domestication allowed humans, finally, to settle down and form agricultural villages, towns, and states, which made possible civilization, law, public order, and a presumably secure way of living. But archaeological and historical evidence challenges this narrative.

Cipolla raccontava con lo stesso stile leggero ed esatto sia storie scaturite da indagini "minute" (sulle monete, sulle epidemie, sulle tecnologie e i commerci), sia secolari dinamiche economiche e sociali. Basti ricordare ad esempio le ricerche sulla peste, o la storia degli orologi e delle innovazioni navali e militari europee, oppure la parabola vertiginosa dell'argento spagnolo nell'economia moderna.

経済のことをよく知っている人には釈迦に説法になってしまうが、バブル経済というのは日本でも中国でも、同じようなプロセスで発生する。投資対象の価値が上がり続けている状況では、より大きな投資を続けたほうが資産を増やすことができる。投資物件の価値が増えたところで、その物件を担保に別の物件に投資する。この動きが熱を帯びてくると、実際には物件に需要がないにもかかわらず、投資家どうしが物件購入で競合するようになるため、さらにその価値が（名目上は）上がっていく。(本文より)本田雅一　続・モバイル通信リターンズはこちらから→http://yakan-hiko.com/honda.html

La herencia de las mujeres resulta tan rica, tan diversa y aún hoy día tan desconocida que desborda la manera convencional de contarla. Al igual que las mujeres han encontrado huecos para sobrevivir o imponerse, para escribir o pintar, para llegar a la educación o al poder, para que el dolor disminuyera o el trabajo resultara más liviano, es preciso que la historia que las estudia recurra a miradas y a formatos nuevos.

With this book, Sa'ed Atshan asks how transnational progressive social movements can balance struggles for liberation along more than one axis. He explores critical junctures in the history of Palestinian LGBTQ activism, revealing the queer Palestinian spirit of agency, defiance, and creativity, in the face of daunting pressures and forces working to constrict it. Queer Palestine and the Empire of Critique explores the necessity of connecting the struggles for Palestinian freedom with the struggle against homophobia.

Drawing on decades of experience in the classroom and on college campuses throughout the South, as well as on his own personal history, Moore illustrates how an understanding of Black history is necessary for everyone.

Le Bushi, c'est le samouraï, le soldat du Moyen Age japonais. le Bushidô est un code de conduite, l'ensemble des valeurs que ce chevalier d'Orient était censé respecter. Pour l'auteur de cet ouvrage, Inazo Nitobe, c'est aussi le fond culturel et moral du Japon tout entier, la colonne vertébrale de la mentalité nipponne.

"Stiamo vivendo un neo-medioevo culturale e occorre ricominciare a credere nella bellezza." "Come nel Medioevo le tradizioni e le superstizioni avevano prodotto una quasi impenetrabile rete di vincoli e remore, così oggi le nuove superstizioni, prodotto artificiale della moderna civiltà ipertecnologica e postmoderna, si calano sulla realtà nella forma di una ragnatela ugualmente fitta di nuove infinite regole e inutili e sovrapposte servitù, di artificiose e forzose convenzioni ideologiche, politiche, culturali.

Escribí Las venas para difundir ideas ajenas y experiencias propias que quizás ayuden un poquito, en su realista medida, a despejar los interrogantes que nos persiguen desde siempre: ¿es América Latina una región del mundo condenada a la humillación y a la pobreza? ¿Condenada por quién? ¿Culpa de Dios, culpa de la naturaleza? ¿No será la desgracia un producto de la historia, hecha por los hombres y que por los hombres puede, por lo tanto, ser deshecha?

Ayn Rand’s complicated notoriety as popular writer, leader of a political and philosophical cult, reviled intellectual, and ostentatious public figure endured beyond her death in 1982. In the 21st century, she has been resurrected as a serious reference point for mainstream figures, especially those on the political right, from Paul Ryan to Donald Trump. Mean Girl follows Rand’s trail through the 20th century from the Russian Revolution to the Cold War and traces her posthumous appeal and the influence of her novels via her cruel, surly, sexy heroes.

Banine's family were peasants who became millionaires overnight when oil gushed from their lands - and the course of her own life would be just as dramatic. This is her unforgettable memoir of an 'odd, rich, exotic' childhood, growing up in Azerbaijan in the turbulent early 20th century, caught between East and West, tradition and modernity. She remembers her luxurious home, with endless feasts of sweets and fruit; her beloved, flaxen-haired German governess; her imperious, swearing, strict Muslim grandmother; her bickering, poker-playing, chain-smoking relatives.

The 29-day battle to liberate Manila resulted in the catastrophic destruction of the city and a rampage by Japanese forces that brutalized the civilian population. Landmarks were demolished, houses were torched, suspected resistance fighters were tortured and killed, countless women were raped, and their husbands and children were murdered. American troops had no choice but to battle the enemy, floor by floor and even room by room, through schools, hospitals, and even sports stadiums. In the end, an estimated 100,000 civilians lost their lives in the massacre.
