Bayly, Peter Fibiger Bang, "The Oxford World History of Empire: Volume Two: The History of Empires" English | ISBN: 0197532764 | 2020 | PDF | 1352 pages | 101 MB This is the first world history of empire, reaching from the third millennium BCE to the present. By combining synthetic surveys, thematic comparative essays, and numerous chapters on specific empires, its two volumes provide unparalleled coverage of imperialism throughout history and across continents, from Asia to Europe and from Africa to the Americas. Only a few decades ago empire was believed to be a thing of the past; now it is clear that it has been and remains one of the most enduring forms of political organization and power. We cannot understand the dynamics and resilience of empire without moving decisively beyond the study of individual cases or particular periods, such as the relatively short age of European colonialism. The history of empire, as these volumes amply demonstrate, needs to be drawn on the much broader canvas of global history.  Walter Scheidel, C. A.

The Oxford Handbook of Music and the Brain (Oxford Library of Psychology) edited by Donald A. Hodges, Michael H. Thaut English | September 25, 2019 | ISBN: 0198804121, 0192895818 | EPUB/PDF | 848 pages | 7.6/6.6 MB The study of music and the brain can be traced back to the work of Gall in the 18th century, continuing with John Hughlings Jackson, August Knoblauch, Richard Wallaschek, and others. These early researchers were interested in localizing musicality in the brain and learning more about how music is processed in both healthy individuals and those with dysfunctions of various kinds. Since then, the research literature has mushroomed, especially in the latter part of the 20th and early 21st centuries.  J.

He draws on examples of France, Italy and Great Britain to enhance understanding of a fundamental source of instability in international affairs.
