Venice and the Mongols
A global history of commercial and cultural exchange between two great powers of the medieval ageIn the mid-thirteenth century, Europe was shaken by the Mongol invasions. Realizing the immense potential for accessing remote markets in the East, Venetian merchants, diplomats, and seafarers established far-flung commercial networks with the Mongol Empire. Venice and the Mongols tells the story of this dynamic new era in world history, one that saw one of the most advanced maritime powers of the age bridge East and West in a new global marketplace created by the Mongol conquests. In a panoramic narrative spanning nearly two centuries, Nicola Di Cosmo and Lorenzo Pubblici describe how Mongolian support of European merchants allowed for the exchange of goods and ideas across their vast empire, and how cooperation with the khans enabled the Venetian city-state to trade safely, grow its influence, and expand its territory eastward while opening Europe to new markets. Di Cosmo and Pubblici shed light on trade practices, legal structures, and cultural relations, and share new perspectives on Marco Polo’s travels in Mongol-controlled territories. They examine Venetian strategies in the face of Mongol and Genoese rivalry and show how the city-state adapted to the challenges posed by the decline of Mongol authority and the ascendance of the Ottomans in the latter half of the fourteenth century. Blending vivid storytelling with rich archival research, Venice and the Mongols challenges conventional perspectives on the Mongols as mere agents of destruction and shows how Venice ushered in a new era of commerce and diplomacy in an interconnected medieval world.
Basic Equality
An innovative argument that vindicates our normative commitment to basic equality, synthesising philosophy, history, and psychologyWhat makes human beings one another’s equals? That we are "basic equals" has become a bedrock assumption in Western moral and political philosophy. And yet establishing why we ought to believe this claim has proved fiendishly difficult, floundering in the face of the many inequalities that characterise the human condition. In this provocative work, Paul Sagar offers a novel approach to explaining and justifying basic equality. Rather than attempting to find an independent foundation for basic equality, he argues, we should instead come to see our commitment to this idea as the result of the practice of treating others as equals. Moreover, he continues, it is not enough to grapple with the problem through philosophy alone—by just thinking very hard, in our armchairs; we must draw insights from history and psychology as well. Sagar writes that, as things stand, there appear to be no good arguments for believing in the truth of basic equality. Indeed, for much of Western intellectual history and social practice, basic inequality has been the default position. How is it then, Sagar asks, that in Western societies, in a period of less than a century, basic equality emerged as the dominant view? Sagar approaches this not as a mere philosophical puzzle, but as a dramatic historical development. In so doing, he shows us what is at stake when human beings treat one another as equals just because they are human beings.

They lived with other teenagers in the Plateau in a messy apartment filled with drugs, alcohol, and black-market animals. The city s macabre history McGill Medical School, the Mount Royal Cemetery, ancient cadavers at the Maude Abbott Medical Museum takes center stage as Arizona sorts out fact from fiction.

Memory Rehearsal
One of Publishers Weekly's Most Anticipated Books & Library Journal's Big Books of the Year"A poet's immersion in Greek classicism forges a stronger bond with her bloodline. . . . A moving family memoir and a triumph of cultural archaeology."—Kirkus Reviews, Starred ReviewA genre-busting encounter between a poet and her ancestral past documenting a startling intersection of queer history, ancient theater, utopian visions, and modern poetry. In 1901, Eva Palmer abandoned her life as a privileged New York socialite, moving to Paris with her lover, the writer, and salonist, Natalie Barney. The two Americans became the center of a wild tangle of lesbian love affairs and backyard performances based in an intentional reimagining of Sappho's work and life. This hotbed of early European modernism saw in the ancient past the possibility for sexual and artistic emancipation, especially for lesbian women. A chance encounter led Eva to Greece, where she married Angelos Sikelianos, a visionary poet who would become a Greek national hero. Together, they decided to stage a revival of the ancient Delphic festivals, convinced that it would open a path to world peace. By the end of two festivals, their meticulous reproductions had managed to change the course of modern Greek cultural history, even as their marriage dissolved. Eva returned to the U.S. and spent the next decades of her life in debt, but she never stopped pursuing her vision, convinced of the revolution of consciousness these art festivals could bring about. Celebrated American poet Eleni Sikelianos grew up knowing little of her illustrious ancestors, and it was not until the age of 20, on her first trip to Greece, that she encountered the breadth of their legacy. In Memory Rehearsal, Sikelianos unearths the story of her pioneering ancestor trying to make a place for herself, in a text that shifts between prose, poetry, imaginary performance texts, fiction, and nonfiction, with archival and family photographs. This is the third book in a trilogy of hybrid memoirs in which Sikelianos reckons with a family shaped by mental illness, homelessness, and addiction. Grappling with knots of personal and broader histories, she performs a powerful act of recovery, re-situating herself by claiming her lineage.

Pokušení šerifa
Nevěřte všemu, co se vypráví o Robinu Hoodovi, zbojníkovi ze Sherwoodského lesa. Takový muž nikdy neexistoval. Ale je tu jedna žena…
Tou jsem já, Robynne – liščí měňavka, mistryně v lukostřelbě a psankyně s palčivou touhou vyhýbat se problémům. Ovšem když můj impulzivní bratr s bandou svérázných výtržníků přepadne projíždějící kočár, spustí tím řetězec událostí, který navždy změní můj osud. Zastavit je už nestihnu, takže se spokojím s druhou nejlepší možností – brát bohatým a dávat chudým.
Šlo by to dobře, kdyby mi nezačal šlapat na paty nový šerif z Nottinghamu, celý žhavý mě dostat. Když je řeč o Danielovi, žhavý je rozhodně to správné slovo, jelikož je to na rozdíl od svého předchůdce svalnatý rytíř a měňavec s dračí krví, který se právě vrátil z křížových výprav. Probouzí touhy, jaké jsem ještě nepoznala…
Coby psankyně a šerif jsme zapřisáhlí nepřátelé, ačkoli chceme totéž – spravedlnost pro utlačované, návrat právoplatného krále Richarda… a šanci popustit uzdu těm nejdivočejším a nejvášnivějším představám.
Ale pro nás, milence narozené pod nešťastnou hvězdou, to není tak jednoduché. Píše se rok 1193 – éra intrikánských princů, chamtivých vojevůdců a nelítostných měňavců. Pokud chceme šťastný konec, musíme se s Danielem spolehnout na lstivost, krutý boj a lásku, která hoří žhavěji než dračí oheň.
Nikdy jsem se nenechala zastavit pravidly, očekáváním ani nemožnými překážkami… ale musím přiznat, že tohle bude zatraceně těžká výzva. A pokud slyšíte vrčení, to vydává moje liška. Výzva přijata.

But how can a sarcastic teenager from a working-class family juggle her grief, her schoolwork, her waitressing job, and fighting death itself? Just this morning, Karina was sitting at the breakfast table, cleaning up the miso soup her grandmother dropped on the floor. Now, she's being called out to class to go to the hospital and see her grandma's body...with a piece of seaweed still stuck to her uniform. She still finds time to make it to her hourly job at a family restaurant, but on the way home, she sees a glittering, elephant-like creature floating the sky... And a teenage boy appears to push her out of the way of its attack! Death is stalking Karina's town in a form that only she can see, and this boy gives her two choices: Die or transform and fight! She can scarcely follow what he's saying, but her clothes do change, and the staff she finds herself holding has enough heft to do some serious damage... But is there space in Karina's life for getting revenge for her grandma and fighting magical monsters when she's already stretched to her limit?
