Greed Unbound: Official Misdeeds in Political Economies of Kin Groups and Chiefdoms (Volume 1)
The first volume of Greed Unbound is about the ways elites siphoned off value from workers in the early Neolithic farming and herding societies. In the broadest terms, it highlights the consequences of greed in officialdom, the offices of kin groups, cults, secret societies, and chiefdoms. Greed in all of these groups has consistently led to severe inequality. Prior to the Agricultural Revolution inequality had been held in check, being restricted to such things as respect for the elderly and male chauvinism. In the mild inequality of the Long Paleolithic, no one person or faction could siphon value from the labor of others. But all that changed once food was stored in farming societies, allowing greedy chiefs to exploit the common people-in stark contrast to the egalitarian nature of life before the development of stored wealth. With the change, exploitation flourished, as did warfare and mystical institutions that functioned to mislead and appease the masses.

Geschichte und Kultur der Kelten
Mit Bernhard Maier resümiert ein international anerkannter Keltenforscher faktenreich, allgemeinverständlich und auf aktuellem Forschungsstand unser Wissen über keltische Ereignisgeschichte, Siedlungs- und Wirtschaftsformen, Kunst und Handwerk, Handel und Verkehr, Sozialstruktur, Religion, Sprache sowie über Beziehungen von keltischen und mediterranen Kulturen. Die Geschichte der Kelten reicht weiter als zweieinhalb Jahrtausende zurück, und noch heute treffen wir allenthalben auf Zeugnisse ihrer Kultur: Ringwälle, Schanzen und Hügelgräber in der freien Natur, Gebrauchsgegenstände, Schmuck, Waffen - häufig als Grabbeigaben gehoben - in den Museen. Ihr Lebensraum erstreckte sich vom Norden des heutigen Schottlands und von der Iberischen Halbinsel bis ins ferne Kleinasien. Sie erscheinen in zahlreichen antiken Schriftquellen - so in Briefen des Apostels Paulus und in Caesars Werk Über den Gallischen Krieg. All dies hat eine lebendige Detailforschung inspiriert, doch eine systematische Zusammenfassung gesicherten Wissens, wie sie mit diesem Handbuch Bernhard Maier vorlegt, hat bis jetzt gefehlt.
Late Roman Spain and Its Cities
This groundbreaking history of Spain in late antiquity sheds new light on the fall of the western Roman empire and the emergence of medieval Europe. Historian Michael Kulikowski draws on the most recent archeological and literary evidence in this fresh an enlightening account of the Iberian Peninsula from A.D. 300 to 600. In so doing, he provides a definitive narrative that integrates late antique Spain into the broader history of the Roman empire. Kulikowski begins with a concise introduction to the early history of Roman Spain, and then turns to the Diocletianic reforms of 293 and their long-term implications for Roman administration and the political ambitions of post-Roman contenders. He...
