Excerpt from the introduction: "In the late nineteenth century, the French Jeune École, or "new school," of naval thinking promoted a commerce-raiding strategy for the weaker naval power to defeat the dominant naval power. France provided the vocabulary for the discussion-Jeune École and guerre de course (war of the chase)-and embodied the geopolitical predicament addressed: France had been a dominant land power, known for its large and proficient army and resentful of British imperial dominance and commercial preeminence. But its navy had rarely matched the Royal Navy in either quantity or quality, and its economy could not support both a preeminent army and navy. So its naval thinkers thought of an economical way out of its predicament. They argued that a guerre de course allowed weaker maritime power, such as France, to impose disproportionate costs on the stronger sea power in order to achieve its objectives. Sadly for France, the strategy did not work as anticipated...

Deus Caritas Est, Spe Salvi and Caritas In Veritate brought together into a single volume. During his eight-year papacy, Pope Benedict XVI taught the Church and the world, using every opportunity to be, as one famous papal title calls the Holy Father, the "Servant of the servants of God". This he did by proposing Christ and his Church to the world ceaselessly and most prominently in his three encyclicals. The first encyclical, Deus Caritas Est – God is Love – dealt with the most fundamental calling of every Christian: that of love. Two years later in 2007 came Spe Salvi (Saved by Hope) in which the Holy Father presented man's true hope as not technology or ideologies but God, who loved us to the end. Finally there was Caritas in Veritate – Love in Truth – where the Pope addressed many modern social questions, from 21st-century finance to population control. Taken together, they form a treasury of papal teaching which every Catholic should have access to. ...

This popular introductory textbook provides an overview of more than 3 million years of human prehistory. Written in an accessible and jargon-free style, this engaging volume tells the story of humanity from our beginnings in tropical Africa up to the advent of the world's first urban civilizations. A truly global account, World Prehistory surveys the latest advances in the study of human origins and describes the great diaspora of modern humans in the millennia which followed as they settled Europe, Asia and the Americas. Later chapters consider seminal milestones in prehistory: the origins of food production, the colonization of the offshore Pacific and the development of the first more complex human societies based, for the most part, on agriculture and stock raising. Finally, Fagan and Durrani examine the prevailing theories regarding early state-organized societies and the often flamboyant, usually volatile, pre-industrial civilizations which developed in the Old World and the...
