Tall Grass in the Wind

About the Book They say you never forget your first love, and childhood friends Edward Johns and Alison Fadelli know this all too well. As next-door neighbors and childhood friends, Edward and Alison spend all their time together, often riding their bikes to their favorite spot—a huge oak tree that majestically sits at the top of a long grassy slope, where the tall grass flows back and forth in the wind. After naming their special place “Our Place,” they vow to always find a way to meet under the oak tree. As often happens in life, the two drift apart—attending different colleges and finding stability in their different careers. But even after all of the years they have been separate...

Ottoman Seapower and Levantine Diplomacy in the Age of Discovery

This work reframes sixteenth-century history , incorporating the Ottoman empire more thoroughly into European, Asian and world history. It analyzes the Ottoman Empire’s expansion eastward in the contexts of claims to universal sovereignty, Levantine power politics, and the struggle for control of the oriental trade. Challenging the notion that the sixteenth-century Ottoman Empire was merely a reactive economic entity driven by the impulse to territorial conquest, Brummett portrays it as inheritor of Euro-Asian trading networks and participant in the contest for commercial hegemony from Genoa and Venice to the Indian Ocean. Brummett shows that the development of seapower was crucial to this endeavor, enabling the Ottomans to subordinate both Venice and the Mamluk kingdom to dependency relationships and providing the Ottoman ruling class access to commercial investment and wealth.

Over the past fifteen years, people in the United States—and dissidents in particular—have witnessed a steady escalation of the National Security State, including invasive surveillance and infiltration, indiscriminate police violence, and unlawful arrests. These concerted efforts to spy on Americans and undermine meaningful social change are greatly enhanced by the coordination of numerous local, state, and federal agencies often operating at the behest of private corporations. Normally associated with the realities of a post-9/11 world, Crashing the Party shows how these developments were already being set in motion during the Republican National Convention (RNC) protests in 2000. It al...
