World Political Systems after Polarity
What will the current global political order look like when American unipolarity ends? Historically, the power configurations of world political systems have been defined by four structures: multipolarity, tripolarity, bipolarity, and unipolarity. These concepts inform both the formulation and the analysis of short-term policies and long-term, grand strategies of powerful actors in the world political order and may be of profound importance to the future peace and stability of the global system. The concept of nonpolarity, however, has never been addressed as a possible or a potential structural formulation in the nomenclature of global political systems. This book provides a coherent conceptualization of nonpolarity and how diplomacy will operate in a more collective age, and fits into the ongoing discussion about the nature of the political world order as we approach the end of the "American century."

Eros on the Nile
Daily life in ancient Egypt was saturated with eroticism and much influenced by cult and magic as well.

O Conde Negro Glória, Revolução, Traição e o Verdadeiro Conde de Monte Cristo
O general Alex Dumas é hoje em dia praticamente desconhecido e, todavia, a sua história é curiosamente familiar porque o filho, o romancista Alexandre Dumas, usou a sua vida como inspiração para os clássicos O Conde de Monte Cristo e Os Três Mosqueteiros. Nascido em Saint-Domingue (atual Haiti), filho de um aristocrata e de uma escrava, Alex Dumas viajou para Paris, onde ascendeu ao comando de exércitos no auge da Revolução até conhecer um inimigo implacável que não podia derrotar: Napoleão Bonaparte. O Conde Negro é, também, uma história de laços inquebráveis de amor entre um pai e um filho.Tom Reiss é autor do bestseller The Orientalist, finalista do prémio Samuel Johnson na categoria de História, em 2006. Os seus artigos biográficos têm presença constante no The New Yorker, The New York Times e outras publicações. O livro O Conde Negro foi finalista do National Book Critics Circle Award e valeu a Tom Reiss os prémios Pulitzer e PEN/Jacqueline Bograd Weld na categoria de biografias, em 2013. Nascido em 1964, vive com a mulher e as filhas em Nova Iorque.
The Twilight of Ancient Egypt
Karol Mysliwiec surveys a turbulent time in Ancient Egyptian culture and history -- the eight hundred years between the eleventh century B.C.E. and the conquest of Egypt by Alexander the Great in 332 B.C.E., after which Egypt became part of the Hellenistic world. It was a time when Libyans, Kushites, Persians, and Greeks ascended to the throne more frequently than did indigenous kings. The history of this phase of pharaonic Egypt, marked by rapid changes in rule, has been relatively neglected until now. Egypt had become increasingly involved in the affairs of its Near Eastern neighbors (Assyria, Babylon, and Persia) and of the Mediterranean world. These many cultures greatly enriched and inf...
