Flytande demokrati
Vi har förmånen att bo i ett demokratiskt land. Men den demokrati vi lever under har knappt förändrats på ett århundrade. Samtidigt har det övriga samhället förändrats i grunden. Det är hög tid att vi återigen börjar fundera på hur vi kan förbättra demokratin. Flytande demokrati är demokrati för 2000-talet. En syntes mellan direktdemokrati och representativ demokrati som gör att alla kan vara precis så delaktiga som de själva vill. Tack vare modern teknik är det möjligt att låta dem som vill rösta själva göra det samtidigt som andra överlåter sin rösträtt på politiker. Den här boken förklarar hur och varför detta är vägen framåt för demokratin.

Roman Warfare
From an award-winning historian of ancient Rome, a concise and comprehensive history of the fighting forces that created the Roman Empire Roman warfare was relentless in its pursuit of victory. A ruthless approach to combat played a major part in Rome's history, creating an empire that eventually included much of Europe, the Near East and North Africa. What distinguished the Roman army from its opponents was the uncompromising and total destruction of its enemies. Yet this ferocity was combined with a genius for absorbing conquered peoples, creating one of the most enduring empires ever known. In Roman Warfare, celebrated historian Adrian Goldsworthy traces the history of Roman warfare from 753 BC, the traditional date of the founding of Rome by Romulus, to the eventual decline and fall of Roman Empire and attempts to recover Rome and Italy from the "barbarians" in the sixth century AD. It is the indispensable history of the most professional fighting force in ancient history, an army that created an Empire and changed the world.

The Complete Roman Army
“An outstanding general study of the Roman military system. . . . The best one-volume treatment of the subject now in existence.”—Historian The Roman army was one of the most successful fighting forces in history. Its organization and tactics were highly advanced and were unequaled until the modern era. Spectacular monuments to its perseverance and engineering skill are still visible today, most notably Hadrian’s Wall and the siegeworks around the fortress of Masada. This book is the first to examine in detail not just the early imperial army but also the citizens’ militia of the Republic and the army of the later Empire. The unprecedented scope and longevity of Roman military success is placed in the context of ordinary soldiers’ daily lives, whether spent in the quiet routine of a peaceful garrison or in arduous campaign and violent combat. Key battles and tactics are described, and there are brief biographies of the great commanders. Drawing on archaeology, ancient art, and original documentary sources, this book presents the most convincing history ever published of the Roman army.
