La piaga delle locuste
Le persone oggi vedono la minaccia degli sciami di locuste come una cosa del passato, una delle piaghe dell’Egitto di Mosè e del Faraone. Non è proprio così: ancora negli anni Duemila parti del mondo sono preda delle loro invasioni. E naturalmente la questione ha una storia alle spalle: le locuste furono nemiche all’umanità del Mediterraneo nel mezzo millennio fra 1300 e 1800, causando effetti sensibili nell’ambiente e nell’economia, nella società e nelle mentalità.

Strategic Military Deception
Strategic Military Deception explains the nature of deception, its processes, and the elements and conditions when a person used and succeeds at deception. The main focus of the book is the discussion of strategic military deceptions. The book is mainly a collection of research that seeks to develop a common idea of deception's basic elements and its relationships. The first part of the book contains such topics as the application of game, communication, organization, and systems theories. The second part of the book deals with the testing and validation of some of the theories of deception through a series of historical case studies. By analyzing a series of cases, the book identifies some recurring patterns in a group of deception cases. There are also chapters that focus on the use of deception during World War II. The book will be a useful tool for military agents, game theorists, and psychoanalysts.

Xenocracy
Of the many European territorial reconfigurations that followed the wars of the early nineteenth century, the Ionian State remains among the least understood. Xenocracy offers a much-needed account of the region during its half-century as a Protectorate of Great Britain—a period that embodied all of the contradictions of British colonialism. A middle class of merchants, lawyers and state officials embraced and promoted a liberal modernization project. Yet despite the improvements experienced by many Ionians, the deterioration of state finances led to divisions along class lines and presented a significant threat to social stability. As author Sakis Gekas shows, the ordeal engendered dependency upon and ambivalence toward Western Europe, anticipating the “neocolonial” condition with which the Greek nation struggles even today.
