This volume explores human migration, communication, and cross-cultural exchange on the Silk Road, a complex network of trade routes spanning the Eurasian continent and beyond. It covers thousands of years of human history, from the 3rd millennium BCE to the early 2nd millennium CE. Consolidating archaeological discoveries, historical analyses, and linguistic studies in one comprehensive volume, The World of the Ancient Silk Road brings to light diverse perspectives from scholars who have lived and worked across this vast region, many of which are published here in English for the first time. It contains extensive references of primary and secondary sources in their original languages and scripts. From Early Bronze Age cultures to the rise of regional Islamic empires, from the Mediterranean to the Yellow River basin, this multidisciplinary volume seeks to offer new insights and expand Silk Road studies to the Anglophone world. The World of the Ancient Silk Road provides an essential reference work for students and scholars of world history, particularly those studying the regions, cultures, and peoples explored in this volume.

A masterful history of how war and insecurity, both real and perceived, have driven Russia's destiny for centuries, including the disastrous invasion of Ukraine. Putin retains his stranglehold on his position in Russia despite an almost ruinous invasion of Ukraine. The answer as to how and why can be found in Russian history. With no naturally defensible borders, and environmental factors constraining its economy, Russia has been pitched against the pre-eminent military powers of the age across the centuries, and often at a technological disadvantage. To respond to these challenges, it has had to sit heavily on the backs of its people, and so war - and the need to be able to fight it - has shaped its evolution, from tsars to commissars and presidents. The national identity has been forged in the furnace of war. From the medieval kingdom of Rus battling against a Scandinavian princes and Mongol emperors, to its own empire-building conflicts in 19th-century Asia, to the formative wars of the 20th century which saw Russia pitch from Tsarist empire to communist state and defender against Nazism, all these conflicts stained the lands of Russia red with blood. A weak post-Cold War Russia then turned to Putin, who created a new mood for martial triumphalism which led directly to the Ukrainian war. Packed with contemporary accounts, Forged in War strips away the myth to give an insider's view on Russia's past and present.

"THE SORCERER'S RING has all the ingredients for an instant success: plots, counterplots, mystery, valiant knights, and blossoming relationships replete with broken hearts, deception and betrayal. It will keep you entertained for hours, and will satisfy all ages. Recommended for the permanent library of all fantasy readers." --Books and Movie Reviews, Roberto Mattos AN OATH OF BROTHERS is Book #14 in the Bestselling series THE SORCERER'S RING, which begins with A QUEST OF HEROES (book #1)! In AN OATH OF BROTHERS, Thorgrin and his brothers emerge from the land of the dead, more driven than ever to find Guwayne, and set sail across a hostile sea, leading them to places beyond their wildest dreams. As they come ever-closer to finding Guwayne, they also encounter obstacles unlike ever before, obstacles which will test them to their very limits, which will call on all their training and force them to stand together as one, as brothers. Darius stands up to the Empire, boldly amassing an army as he frees one slave village after the next. Facing off against fortified cities, against an army a thousand times his size, he summons all of his instincts and courage, determined to survive, determined to win, to strive for freedom at any cost, even at the cost of his life. Gwendolyn, with no other choice, leads her people into the Great Waste, deeper into the Empire than anyone has ever journeyed, on a quest to find the legendary Second Ring—the last hope for the survival of her people, and the last hope for Darius. Yet along the way she will encounter horrific monsters, worse landscapes, and an insurrection from amidst her own people that even she may not be able to stop. Erec and Alistair sail for the Empire to save their people, and along the way stop at hidden islands, determined to raise an army—even if it means dealing with mercenaries of questionable repute. Godfrey finds himself deep inside the city of Volusia and deep in trouble as his plan goes from bad to worse. Imprisoned, set to be executed, finally, even he can see no way out. Volusia forges a pact with the darkest of sorcerers, and driven to even greater heights, she continues her ascent, conquering all who stand in her way. More powerful than ever, she will take her war all the way to the steps of the Empire Capital—until she is up against the entire Empire army, an army that dwarfs even her own, setting the stage for an epic battle. Will Thorgrin find Guwayne? Will Gwendolyn and her people survive? Will Godfrey escape? Will Erec and Alistair reach the Empire? Will Volusia become the next Empress? Will Darius lead his people to victory? With its sophisticated world-building and characterization, AN OATH OF BROTHERS is an epic tale of friends and lovers, of rivals and suitors, of knights and dragons, of intrigues and political machinations, of coming of age, of broken hearts, of deception, ambition and betrayal. It is a tale of honor and courage, of fate and destiny, of sorcery. It is a fantasy that brings us into a world we will never forget, and which will appeal to all ages and genders. Books 15-17 are also available! "A spirited fantasy that weaves elements of mystery and intrigue into its story line…. For those seeking meaty fantasy adventures, the protagonists, devices, and action provide a vigorous set of encounters that focus well on Thor's evolution from a dreamy child to a young adult facing impossible odds for survival….Only the beginning of what promises to be an epic young adult series." Midwest Book Review (D. Donovan, eBook Reviewer)

'A gripping portrait of a crisis-ridden Turkey' PANKAJ MISHRA 'A richly textured human history .. elegantly maps out Turkey's hard-right turn' THE NEW YORK TIMES 'An ambitious, alive and lovingly written portrait of everyday life' GUARDIAN BOOK OF THE DAY 'Hansen writes fluently and colourfully and has a sharp eye for detail' SUNDAY TIMES Pulitzer finalist Suzy Hansen chronicles the age of authoritarianism in Turkey - through an intimate portrait of its people In the midst of a world in upheaval, Erdogan has remade Turkey in his own image.

And it's here, in the old Ottoman neighbourhood of Karagumruk, that Suzy Hansen goes looking for the truth about modern Turkey. Through the lives of its inhabitants, Hansen shows how local conflicts are spiralling into regional crises, deepening the fault lines now fracturing Europe and the Middle East.

Life Aboard a British Privateer in the Time of Queen Anne offers a vivid account of maritime warfare, commerce, and endurance during the War of the Spanish Succession. Drawing on the plain-spoken precision of the early eighteenth-century voyage narrative, the book combines logbook detail with moments of dramatic immediacy: storms, prize-taking, discipline, disease, and the fragile economy of survival at sea. Its literary context belongs to the age of Defoe and Dampier, when factual travel writing helped shape the English prose of adventure and empire. Woodes Rogers was not merely an observer but a participant in the world he describes. A Bristol mariner and privateer, he commanded the Duke and Duchess on a circumnavigation that famously rescued Alexander Selkirk, later associated with Robinson Crusoe. His practical experience, commercial ambitions, and exposure to imperial conflict inform the book's attention to command, profit, risk, and Providence. This is a rewarding volume for readers interested in naval history, early modern travel writing, or the realities behind romantic images of privateering. It illuminates the hard structures of life at sea while preserving the excitement of an expanding world.

The Highlands of Ethiopia is a richly observed account of a British diplomatic mission to Shoa in the early 1840s, combining travel narrative, ethnography, natural history, and imperial reconnaissance. Harris writes in the elaborate, pictorial prose characteristic of Victorian exploration literature, moving from mountain landscapes and court ceremony to warfare, hunting, religion, and trade. The book belongs to the age of scientific travel and empire, yet it is also valuable for its detailed record of a region then little known to European readers. Sir William Cornwallis Harris was a British army officer, engineer, artist, and sportsman whose career in India and Africa trained him to observe terrain, peoples, and political systems with military precision. Appointed to lead the mission to Sahle Selassie, ruler of Shoa, Harris wrote from direct experience, shaped by diplomacy, strategic curiosity, and the Victorian desire to map both geography and influence. Readers interested in Ethiopian history, colonial-era travel writing, or the formation of European knowledge about Africa will find this book indispensable. It should be read critically, but also attentively, as a vivid and consequential document of encounter.
