Di Cosmo N: Venice and the Mongols

Venice and the Mongols

The Eurasian Exchange That Transformed the Medieval World

A reframing of simplistic good-or-bad, black-or-white narratives about drugs.
What is a drug? The answer seems so obvious that the question is hardly worth asking. We can all agree that cocaine is a drug, or methamphetamine, or cannabis. But what about sugar? Caffeine? That heavy, sleepy feeling you get after eating a big portion of turkey at Thanksgiving? The extremes of experiences like sex and exercise or love and grief are created by the same consciousness-altering neurochemicals responsible for the highs and lows of a cocaine binge. What about your phone, or your toddler's iPad—can we be addicted to technology? Does using these devices make us "high"?
Drugs are slippery objects, difficult to define. Some make us feel good, others make us ill. Some take the form of pills, plants, or powders. Others, like the runner's high, require no physical substance at all. Much of what we think we know about drugs comes from a handful of well-used cultural narratives: drugs are either a public health menace, a social issue to be fixed, or an age-old criminal and legal problem. The rebels among us might even think of drugs as tools for creativity and artistic production. But despite the profound role drugs have played in human history and society, we rarely give any thought to what drugs actually are, and more importantly, what they do. 
Reframing "drugs" as a wide variety of human experiences within a spectrum of altered consciousness, On Drugs weaves together cultural history, science, politics, personal anecdotes, and current events to ask why our frameworks for understanding drugs are so limited and how expanding them can transform our society's response to substance use.

On Drugs

Burnout can’t be solved with just perks or stress-reduction workshops. It's solved by changing how leaders engage their teams—a practical shift that requires no new resources. Grounded in peer-reviewed research, Relational Energy shows leaders how small changes in everyday workplace conversations can spark energy, revive exhausted teams, and build workplaces where people thrive. Every leader is dealing with burnout and looking for something they can actually do tomorrow morning, and this is it. In this book, leadership scholar Amy Young, with Kim Cameron, reveals how everyday communication creates relational energy, the powerful force that fuels engagement, creativity, resilience, health and well-being, and performance across teams. Drawing on interviews with energizing leaders and weaving in supporting peer-reviewed research, Young unlocks the secrets to thriving amid uncertainty and disruption due to AI automation, fragile labor markets, cultural divisiveness, and relentless workplace demands. Through vivid real-world examples, you'll discover how energizing leaders sustain their own vitality while lifting their teams at the same time, simply by rethinking how they approach everyday conversations. You'll learn how to turn those ordinary interactions into extraordinary ones, providing a practical, no-cost antidote to workplace stress and burnout. In this book, you will learn <ul><li>how relational energy promotes workplace well-being and performance, creating the foundation for sustainable organizational success;</li><li>strategies energizing leaders use to maintain their own energy levels while navigating the same modern workplace pressures that impact their teams;</li><li>how to have workplace conversations that generate healthy perceptions of challenge and stress and reduce burnout while building resilience and team solidarity;</li><li>specific language choices (wording, pronoun selection, questions, and declarative statements) that empower employees, elevate teams, and drive productivity; and</li><li>how to acknowledge hard realities while building genuine hope and resilience, avoiding toxic positivity that saps energy.</li></ul> Practical, research driven, and immediately applicable, Relational Energy shows leaders how small changes in language can create extraordinary impact, recharging people, teams, and entire organizations.

What if the key to success in a world of constant change was never really grit, or persistence - but curiosity? The modern era asks us to optimise ourselves into corners and build lives that run predictably while we stall inside. And the very blueprint we've been handed for success - one of relentless specialization - is not only incomplete, but completely counterproductive to a fulfilling life.Fusing groundbreaking research, elite business insights, and thrilling studies of history's greatest polymaths, Harvard educator Dr. T. Alexander Puutio uncovers the simple truth behind resilient, fulfilling lives: they're built in loops, not ladders.From Leonardo da Vinci to Steve Jobs, the people who shape the future don't follow straight lines - they explore widely, quit strategically, and stay flexible enough to keep becoming someone new.In a world that breaks ladders as fast as you can climb them, the code of curiosity offers a powerful model for thriving in uncertainty. Exploiting a loop of exploration, feedback and reinvention, curiosity is a force that supercharges our brain's capacity to learn and innovate. Those who can harness the cycle unlock not just a serious strategic edge, but a better way to cultivate a meaningful life.A joyful book that speaks to the meaning vacuum of modern life, The Curiosity Code upends the traditional pillars of self-development. Instead, it offers a bold, practical blueprint for navigating change, reclaiming agency, and building a life that evolves as fast as the world around you.

The Hidden Advantage of Curiosity in a World of Constant Change

The Curiosity Code

90 Days to Grow Your Influence

Palgrave Studies in Economic History

This book offers the first comprehensive analysis of the transformation of the Brazilian coffee economy since 1960, one of the most significant yet understudied developments in modern economic history. Moving beyond classic accounts of nineteenth- and early twentieth-century plantation expansion, it traces how Brazil responded to crises through state intervention, technological innovation and institutional reform. Drawing on economic history, development economics and agricultural studies, the authors examine how mechanization, scientific research, crop diversification and shifting regional production patterns reshaped the sector and enabled Brazil to maintain its position as the world’s leading coffee producer.Situating Brazilian coffee within global commodity chains and changing patterns of consumption, the book explores the transition from a state-controlled system to a competitive, market-oriented agribusiness embedded in global trade networks. It also highlights the emergence of new production frontiers and value-added industries, including roasting and soluble coffee. By combining regional analysis with a broader political economy perspective, this study provides a vital contribution to debates on agricultural modernization, export-led development and globalization in Latin America. It will be valuable reading for scholars in economic history, Latin American studies, agricultural economics and global development.&nbsp;Herbert S. Klein

The Brazilian Coffee Economy

For senior leaders whose strong record no longer settles the question being asked about them. Former global C-suite executive and executive coach Azhar Syed explains why strong performance stops being enough for senior advancement—and what changes when it does. Senior leaders are often surprised when the qualities that built their careers no longer move them forward. They deliver strong results, develop deep expertise, make important contributions, and earn support from influential people, yet they still are not chosen for broader responsibility. Syed identifies 6 familiar metrics leaders use to make the case for advancement: <ul><li>Results: “Look What I Have Delivered”</li><li>Expertise: “Look What I Know”</li><li>Personal Contribution: “Look What I Do”</li><li>Judgment: “Look How Right I Am”</li><li>Sponsorship: “Look Who Backs Me”</li><li>Reputation: “Look How I Have Changed”</li></ul> Each metric reflects a real way of creating value. But none, by itself, fully answers the question senior decision-makers are trying to resolve: Can this leader be trusted with greater risk, broader consequences, and decisions that affect the whole organization? Syed explains why becoming indispensable can keep a leader tied to a current role, why being right does not establish judgment at a wider radius unless others can test and carry the decision, why a powerful sponsor cannot make an appointment defensible on the leader’s behalf, and why genuine change may go unnoticed by the people whose expectations matter. Readers will learn what broader responsibility asks of them, what their record currently establishes, what decision-makers may reasonably infer, and how to distinguish between a gap they can address and a barrier embedded in the organization. Clear and candid, this book helps senior leaders understand why their established evidence may no longer settle the next decision—and what their record needs to establish before others can confidently trust them with more.

What if the biggest obstacle to solving our problems is nothing more than a failure to believe that we can?Rick Caruso has spent his life stepping optimistically into places where other people see no way forward by asking a deceptively simple question: What can we do to make this better? From his appointment as Commissioner to the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power and later the City's troubled Police Department, to the creation of his bold and innovative real estate ventures including L.A.'s world-renowned retail center The Grove, Caruso built a reputation for finding steadfast solutions even in the face of staunch adversity. By employing the great teachers of experience and curiosity, he continues to do what he can to improve Los Angeles, the city he loves, and in Breaking New Ground, he shares lessons learned along the way--while offering us all a path forward to a better future.Again and again, Caruso discovered that breakthroughs rarely come from knowing everything at the outset. They come from asking better questions, bringing the right people into the room, listening without ego, separating ideology from reality, and refusing to give up until workable solutions emerge. Ultimately, they require a steadfast dedication to the belief that there is always a solution and that defeat is not an option.Breaking New Ground is the story of how his philosophy was forged--from the examples of immigrant grandparents and a father who lost one fortune and built another, to Caruso's own successes, failures, public battles, family life, faith, and unexpected turns through business and government.Caruso is less interested in prescribing a formula for becoming successful than in exploring how successful problem-solvers think: how they distinguish what matters from what merely makes noise; how they balance conviction with compromise; how they recognize when conventional wisdom has stopped working; and how they remain fearless enough to see difficult decisions through.Part memoir, part argument, and part blueprint for action, Breaking New Ground offers a timely proposition for anyone confronting a problem that feels too complicated, entrenched, or divisive to solve.There is always another way forward. Sometimes you simply have to be willing to build it.

Hart Studies on Contested Legalities

This book confronts a pressing and unsettling development at the intersection of law, sovereignty, and Indigenous rights: the growing entanglement between Indigenous legal traditions and sovereign citizen pseudolaw. Bringing together leading scholars from law, anthropology, Indigenous studies, and related disciplines, the volume exposes how pseudolegal movements increasingly appropriate the language and symbolism of Indigenous sovereignty to advance anti-state and conspiratorial agendas. The collection shows that this appropriation is not confined to non-Indigenous actors. In contexts of long-standing injustice and frustration with state institutions, some Indigenous individuals are also drawn to sovereign citizen arguments that promise autonomy or escape from state authority. Through careful analysis, the contributors explain why these claims may appear attractive, while demonstrating that they rest on legal fantasies fundamentally at odds with Indigenous legal orders. Where Indigenous laws are collective, relational, and grounded in responsibilities to land and community, pseudolaw is individualistic, property-centred, and rooted in settler-colonial entitlement. As the first scholarly collection to systematically address this phenomenon, the volume calls for renewed intellectual clarity and sustained engagement between academics, legal practitioners, and Indigenous communities. The book traces how pseudolaw repackages older colonial strategies of appropriation and erasure in new forms. It reveals the tangible harms these entanglements cause: legal confusion, political vulnerability, and the erosion of the credibility of genuine Indigenous sovereignty claims. It offers a powerful warning about the dangers of pseudolaw and a compelling case for strengthening Indigenous-led pathways to justice, self-governance, and sovereignty.

A unified framework for understanding monetary policy, including recent unprecedented interventions by central banks Over the past two decades, monetary policy has been deployed in unprecedented ways, as central banks attempted to mitigate the adverse consequences of the 2007-2008 financial crisis, the COVID-19 global lockdown, and recent inflationary surges. In Monetary Economics and Policy, Pierpaolo Benigno offers a new way to understand the potency and effectiveness of monetary policy, presenting a unified modeling framework to analyze policy challenges posed by both paper and digital currency systems. He investigates current theoretical and policy controversies, drawing connections with historical themes in monetary economics. Benigno examines how central banks control the value of their currency amid competition from cryptocurrencies and private money-like securities; discusses the desirability of inflation targeting for macroeconomic stabilization; and explores theoretical grounds for the unconventional monetary policies seen in the recent period of zero nominal interest rates, including forward guidance, quantitative and credit easing, and helicopter money. He accompanies his analysis with an innovative visual representation of the New Keynesian model and inflation-targeting policies. Benigno's novel framework also allows the study of monetary policy normalization through quantitative tightening toward what has become the "new normal." He discusses the optimal provision of liquidity and the different roles of the government and financial intermediaries. Finally, he recounts historical controversies regarding the inflation-unemployment trade-off to understand the 2020s inflationary surge and delves into the causes and dynamics of hyperinflations, tracing them to the subtle, ambiguous linkages between monetary and fiscal policy and weak balance-sheet conditions for the central bank.
