An epic account tracing the rise of the Mongol Empire.

Morton N: The Mongol Storm / B

The Mongol Storm

Making and Breaking Empires in the Medieval Near East

How the social organization of Europe and China shaped their divergent economic and political trajectories over the past millennium In the eleventh century, when Europe was still backward and poor, China was a rich and sophisticated civilization. Yet Europe became the birthplace of democracy and the Industrial Revolution, driving the Great Enrichment, while China stagnated until the end of the twentieth century and was always ruled by autocracies. Two Paths to Prosperity traces the emergence of two very different social organizations in premodern China and Europe--the clan and the corporation--showing how they were key factors in the economic and political divergence of these two great civilizations. In this landmark book, three leading economists offer a bold new account of why Europe and China evolved along such different trajectories. In the early Middle Ages, public goods like risk sharing, religious worship, education, and conflict resolution were provided by nonstate organizations in both societies. China increasingly relied on kin-based cooperation within clans, while weaker kinship ties in Europe gave rise to corporations such as guilds, universities, and self-governing towns. Despite performing similar functions, clans and corporations were built on very different principles--with lasting consequences until today. Providing a novel answer to a fundamental question in economic and political history, Two Paths to Prosperity shows how extended kinship in Chinese society facilitated the consolidation of autocracy and hindered innovation and economic development, and how corporations in Europe influenced emerging state institutions and set the stage for the Industrial Revolution.

Their Doctrine and Their History. a Contribution to the History of Islamic Theology

The &#7826;&#257;hir&#299;s

Revealing the people behind the Rothschild name, The Rothschilds explores the lives and legacy of one of the best-known and most impactful families in modern history. The Rothschild name has long been synonymous with wealth and privilege, but as Jews the family has also been dogged by prejudice and hatred. Antisemitism followed them from their earliest beginnings in the oppressive Jewish ghetto of Frankfurt, where Jews were not allowed out after nightfall, to the lofty summits of high finance, art, and culture. However, behind the myths, the glamor, and the conspiracy theories are a group of relatives whose individualism, personalities and occasional eccentricities have been obscured by their shared surname. <ul> <li>In The Rothschilds, Harry Freedman delves into their lives on a historical tour, marked by an unfailing attention to the influence of individual family members on world events.</li> <li>We travel from the genesis of the Rothschild international banking empire to the impact of individual Rothschilds in multiple fields over the past 250 years.</li> <li>Spanning war, politics and the industrial revolution, art, architecture and interior design, zoology, smuggling, and counter-terrorism and the ongoing struggle against entrenched anti-Jewish bigotry in different historical eras and places.</li></ul> The Rothschilds reveals a truly new story of a very old family, making a great contribution both to history and our understanding of a dynasty that has shaped our world. &nbsp;

Constitutional Systems of the World

The Republic of Turkey is an outstanding laboratory for constitutional law in many respects, providing a unique case for students. This book explores this complexity in two parts. Initially it sets out the 'core' of Turkey's constitutional context. It then goes on to consider the current state structure under the traditional discourse of constitutional law. The book ends with a future projection based on the demands for amending and replacing the current constitution. Reflecting the wider landmark series, it explores complex concepts with welcome clarity, without losing any of the nuance.

Transottomanica / Osteuropäisch-osmanisch-persische Mobilitätsdynamiken

The volume aims to provide insights into current research on various mobility phenomena, including individual and population movements, as well as the exchange of goods and ideas/knowledge between neighboring regions, Slavonia and Bosnia, and other areas in the surrounding regions. The concept of translocality addresses the circulation of people and goods, as well as the simultaneous transfer and convergence of culture and knowledge between local contexts. In addition to the research of historical interactions between Slavonia and Bosnia, the volume was open to the research of historical interaction between regions in other parts of Southeast Europe and adjacent areas as well as to theoretical contributions that are relevant for the research of translocal connections between and across regions.

Der evangelische Theologe Johannes Lepsius (1858-1926) gehört zu den prominenten deutschen Personen des Humanitarismus im späten 19. und frühen 20. Jahrhundert. Seine Schriften über die christliche Minderheit der Armenier im Osmanischen Reich dokumentieren eindrucksvoll die Auseinandersetzung mit moralpolitischen Fragen und zeitgenössischen kirchlichen Entwicklungen im Horizont von Homogenisierungsbewegungen von Bevölkerungsgruppen in Vielvölkerstaaten. Seine erste maßgebliche Veröffentlichung "Armenien und Europa. Eine Anklageschrift" (1896) ist eine Dokumentation der Massaker an den Armeniern im Osmanischen Reich. Der Text liegt erstmals in einer kritischen Studienausgabe vor, mit einem ausführlichen Text- und Quellenkommentar, der Entstehungs- und Wirkungsgeschichte sowie umfangreichen Registern.

The Future Is Peace

<div>
In this book, José Rente Nascimento explores the economic, environmental, social, and cultural dynamics of the Amazon. The book weaves five centuries of transformation, highlighting geographical conditions, Amerindian resource stewardship, the rubber boom, postcolonial policies, and today’s development pressures. Spanning infrastructure, mining, ranching, and agricultural expansion, the book analyzes Amazonian challenges within their historical context.
Drawing on lessons from both failed policies and successful initiatives, Nascimento addresses urgent contemporary issues, including deforestation, indigenous welfare, land tenure, forest-based development, and the complex balance between environmental protection and sustainable growth.
More than a historical account, this book presents a conceptual framework that links past trajectories to present challenges, providing an essential and inspiring resource for students, policymakers, researchers, and all those seeking to learn from Amazonia’s history to secure its sustainable future.

An Economic, Environmental, and Social History

The Amazonian Odyssey

A revelatory financial history showing that today's massive Islamic finance industry was preceded by decades of Muslim interest banking across Eurasia and Africa. Since the 1970s, the now multi-trillion-dollar Islamic finance industry has offered interest-free banking to Muslims around the world. Its proponents maintain that Islamic law strictly forbids all forms of financial interest. Many academic accounts echo this perspective, assuming that before the 1970s, Muslims either avoided interest banking out of deep-seated religious hostility or practiced it in defiance of religious stricture. Yet as Michael O'Sullivan argues, these narratives overlook rich traditions of Muslim interest banking that preceded Islamic finance. In the early twentieth century, the first modern Muslim-owned interest banks appeared across Eurasia and Africa-from India to the Ottoman Empire, Tsarist Russia, Habsburg Bosnia, Tunisia, Egypt, Iran, Palestine, and Indonesia. Viewed as a solution to Muslim economic distress, these banks intensified debates among Muslims about both the Islamic legal tradition and acceptable economic practices. While interest banks raised suspicions among some Islamic legal scholars, others explicitly defended their legality and encouraged Muslim entrepreneurs. Ultimately, O'Sullivan shows that the Islamic finance industry's commitment to interest-free banking was a product of contingency as much as principle. It was a combination of bank failures, high rates of indebtedness, and changing religious interpretations that eventually led many Muslims to reject interest banking and demand a replacement more commensurate with an "Islamic economy." Even so, the religious debates inaugurated by the first Muslim interest banks persist to this day. A vibrant portrait of economic life in the so-called peripheries of capital, The Borrower's Refuge is a major contribution to the global history of finance.
