In a bold and magisterial work of immense scope, Josephine Quinn argues that the real story of the West is much bigger than this established paradigm leads us to believe. So much of our shared history has been lost, drowned out by the concept – developed in the Victorian era – of separate ‘civilisations’. Moving from the Bronze Age to the Age of Exploration, How the World Made the West reveals a new narrative: one that traces the millennia of global encounters and exchange that built what is now called the West, as societies met, tangled and sometimes grew apart.

The Phoenicians remain one of the most enigmatic ancient civilizations, with historians and scholars prone to speculation and educated guesses. Although many Greek, Roman, and Egyptian writers reference the Phoenicians in trade records, military battles, and artistic transactions, few records were left by the original Phoenicians themselves, leaving modern scholars to fill in the blanks through educated guesses and material culture.

For much of recorded history, people considered the heart to be the most important organ in the body. In cultures around the world, the heart—not the brain—was believed to be the location of intelligence, memory, emotion, and the soul. Over time, views on the purpose of the heart have transformed. Modern medicine and science dismissed what was once the king of the organs as a mere blood pump subservient to the brain, yet the heart remains a potent symbol of love and health and an important part of our cultural iconography.

Luke Kemp entwirft eine radikale Geschichte des Aufstiegs und Zusammenbruchs menschlicher Gesellschaften: Seit der Sesshaftwerdung vor 12.000 Jahren entstanden hierarchische »Goliaths« – mächtige Staaten und Imperien, die durch Gewalt und Ungleichheit groß wurden und gerade dadurch zerbrachen. Kemps Analyse zeigt, warum Demokratien widerstandsfähiger sind, weshalb Zusammenbrüche oft unsichtbar beginnen und wieso die nächste Krise global, langanhaltend und existenziell sein könnte. Doch er bricht mit dem Mythos vom reinen Untergang: Denn Kollaps kann auch Erneuerung bedeuten.

For thousands of years, humans have reported encounters with gods, angels, demons, spirits, and other non-human intelligences. Modern science dismissed them as hallucinations. Religion demanded belief. Both explanations failed."Beyond the Gods" offers a third path.

As modern empires rise and fall, ancient Rome becomes ever more significant. We yearn for Rome's power but fear Rome's ruin—will we turn out like the Romans, we wonder, or can we escape their fate? That question has obsessed centuries of historians and leaders, who have explored diverse political, religious, and economic forces to explain Roman decline. In New Rome, Paul Stephenson looks beyond traditional texts and well-known artifacts to offer a novel, scientifically minded interpretation of antiquity's end.

Athens, 416 BC. A tenuous peace holds. The city-state's political and military might are feared throughout the ancient world; it pushes the boundaries of social, literary and philosophical experimentation in an era when it has a greater concentration of geniuses per capita than at any other time in human history. Yet even geniuses go to the bathroom, argue with their spouse and enjoy a drink with friends. Few of the city's other inhabitants enjoy the benefits of such a civilised society, though - as multicultural and progressive as Athens can be, many are barred from citizenship.
