From Bean to Barista

'Ordering the World' - a slogan originally employed by Chinese government reformers in the eighteenth century - addresses ideas and practices within the administrative field in Asia and Europe. The volume focusses on the transcultural transfer of notions of order, bureaucratic efficiency and bureaucratic ethos as well as their implementation by the adoption of foreign institutions from the sixteenth to the early twentieth century. The sixteen case studies thereby open up the historical dimension of European and Asian bureaucracies and explore the often asymmetrical transfer of administrative notions, ideas and practices as well as their transformation in different cultures. The authors from both Asia and Europe thereby make decisive forays into a global intellectual history of public administration - an issue, which has hardly been touched upon before in academia.

For fans of Ben Macintyre, the gripping story of the assassination of Soviet revolutionary Leon Trotsky and the deadly game of cat and mouse that preceded it On August 20, 1940, Leon Trotsky invited a man he knew only as Jacques Mornard into his study. Mornard waited for Trotsky to sit, then smashed an ice pick he had hidden in his raincoat into his skull. &nbsp; For over a decade, Trotsky’s greatest enemy, Joseph Stalin, had been trying to arrange his murder. His agents had hunted him across Europe and into a lonely, bitter exile in Mexico. He had liquidated Trotsky’s family and friends, and yet Trotsky had always escaped his clutches. The man who changed this all was Ramón Mercader, a minor Spanish aristocrat and Soviet agent who had posed as Mornard, a dissolute Belgian playboy, and infiltrated Trotsky’s inner circle.&nbsp; In The Death of Trotsky, Josh Ireland traces the separate paths walked by each of these protagonists as they steadily draw closer and closer to that fateful encounter on August 20. Blending intimate historical detail and thrilling historical narrative, swinging from Moscow to Paris to Mexico, and taking in a cast of morally conflicted Russian spies, fanatical Mexican painters, and innocent American idealists, The Death of Trotsky delves into the lives of two fascinating, complex men locked in a life-or-death struggle that will bend the course of history.

Infectious disease has been the biggest threat to human life throughout history, and specific outbreaks have imprinted themselves upon our collective memory for centuries. Drawing lessons from the past to help us grapple with current and future pandemics, Global History in 15 Epidemics focuses on the social, cultural and political dimensions of humanity's response to the rise and spread of epidemic diseases. Taking a global perspective, this text explores the transnational, environmental and technological factors that promote and sustain outbreaks of epidemic disease. From smallpox in colonial America to influenza in WWI, tuberculosis in the 19th century and covid-19 in the present day, this book seeks to understand the role played by factors such as climate, migration, imperialism, the environment and human-animal interactions. It also explores the development and evolution of quarantine, public health systems and vaccination to understand state-society responses and the political and legal dimensions of outbreaks. Asking how outbreaks interact with war, racism, cultural memory and social stigma, it takes a comparative approach, exploring how the same diseases were experienced differently depending on their geographical, political and cultural settings. Finally, it asks how these experiences have fed into cultural memory and explores how epidemics and pandemics have been, and continue to be, memorialized throughout time.

Global History in 15 Epidemics

In the twelfth-century, Pisa was a powerhouse of global trade, a city that stood at the centre of Medieval Europe. But Pisa had a problem. It was running out of coins. In the face of a looming financial crisis, the city's rulers and its moneylenders forged a deal that laid the foundations of the modern state and of present-day banking. In Money and Promises, the distinguished banker and scholar Paolo Zannoni examines the extraordinary relationship between states and banks. He draws upon seven case studies: the republic of twelfth-century Pisa, seventeenth-century Venice, the early years of the Bank of England, Imperial Spain, the Kingdom of Naples, the nascent USA during the American Revolution, and Bolshevik Russia in 1917-21. Spanning a multitude of countries, political systems and historical eras, Zannoni shows that at the heart of our institutions lies an intricate exchange of debt and promises that has shaped the modern world. Featuring pioneering research and original insights, this authoritative yet accessible book explores the vital relationship upon which our financial and political systems still depend.

As this lively new study effectively demonstrates, dictionaries serve as far more than just simple reference tools-they also offer a rich fund of information about people in society. Linda C. Mitchell here analyzes the ways in which early modern lexicographers constructed their authority.
