Armstrong Dorothy: Threads of Empire / B

Threads of Empire

A History of the World in Twelve Carpets

Prosecuting the Powerful: War Crimes and the Battle for Justice

A groundbreaking history that explores how human desires have affected our relationship with the natural world, and why this is a cause for hope &nbsp; Donald Worster looks back at over 200,000 years of Homo sapiens sapiens to show how human nature, especially the drive for food and sex, has responded to environmental conditions throughout history. Examining how this process led from a foraging lifestyle to the agrarian revolution and then to the capitalist way of life, Worster brings us face to face with a third transformation of human society that is beginning to take shape in China: an ecological civilization. &nbsp; This meticulously researched book explores how human desires have driven us to overrun our environments, and how we have adapted by creating new relationships with Earth. Tying the past to the future and humans to the planet, Worster acknowledges that we are at a potentially dangerous tipping point. Yet he offers a surprisingly optimistic vision, full of faith in the strength of our human desires, to help us develop exciting futures in a changing world—as we have done time and again—and achieve a good life for the billions of us trying to survive on a finite planet.

How to Think About Museums: A Guide with Exercises is a lively introduction to the key issues in the contemporary multidisciplinary field of museum studies. It covers the museum profession as a whole, including training, education, research, and practice. The book spans both practical and theoretical aspects of the field and examines the social meanings of museums as public institutions, both historically and in their present, multifaceted forms. Topics of interest include how museums create meaning, produce knowledge, and interact with civic power structures. Other important questions include: <ul> <li>How do museums shape national, local, and other forms of identity? </li> <li>How do museum collecting practices respond to new thinking in material cultures studies? </li> <li>What kinds of knowledge do museums construct and what types of learning occur in them? </li> <li>How do museums reconfigure their colonial pasts? </li> <li>Can museums speak historical and emotional "truth" to the civic power structures that endow and promote them?</li> </ul>

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.

Seven Deals that Changed the World

Money and Promises

The untold story of how America's brightest academic minds revolutionized intelligence analysis at the CIAIn the early days of the Cold War, the United States faced a crisis in intelligence analysis. A series of intelligence failures in 1949 and 1950, including the failure to warn about the North Korean invasion of South Korea, made it clear that gut instinct and traditional practices were no longer sufficient for intelligence analysis in the nuclear age. The new director of the Central Intelligence Agency, Walter Bedell Smith, had a mandate to reform it.Based on new archival research in declassified documents and the participants' personal papers, The Intelligence Intellectuals reveals the neglected history of how America's brightest academic minds were recruited by the CIA to revolutionize intelligence analysis during this critical period. Peter C. Grace describes how the scientifically sound analysis methods that they introduced significantly helped the United States gain an advantage in the Cold War, and these new analysts legitimized the role of the recently created CIA in the national security community. Grace demonstrates how these professors--such as William Langer from Harvard, Sherman Kent from Yale, and Max Millikan from MIT--developed systematic approaches to intelligence analysis that shaped the CIA's methodology for decades to come.Readers interested in the history of the Cold War and in intelligence, scholars of intelligence studies, Cold War historians, and intelligence practitioners seeking to understand their craft's foundations will all value this insightful history about the place of social science in national security.

"Sails and Shadows is the first account of Portuguese voyaging ever to incorporate data and insights from modern sciences as well as from aged texts. Based on an impressive engagement with original sources in multiple European languages, it should stand (for a very long time) as the definitive English-language account of its subject, which is an important one for world history, maritime history, and European history."--J. R. McNeill, author of Mosquito Empires "Patricia Seed has produced an outstanding and truly original account of early Portuguese seaborne exploration down the west coast of Africa and to India. The book's great innovation is its deep and learned engagement with the growing field of climate history, which contextualizes Portuguese navigation, colonization, and settlement."--Jerry Brotton, author of Four Points of the Compass: The Unexpected History of Direction
