Infografías de la antigua Roma
A partir de los numerosos datos que nos ofrecen las fuentes de la antigüedad a lo largo de doce siglos de historia, este volumen recrea mediante infografías la civilización romana no tanto en función de un relato cronológico lineal, sino a partir de temas y procesos transversales: la formación de un imperio, la ciudadanía y la relación con los que no forman parte del cuerpo cívico, el gobierno y la administración a lo largo de los siglos, la religión, la economía y, especialmente, la guerra como motor del cambio y el crecimiento de Roma, que pasó de ser una ciudad-estado más en la península Itálica a ser la cabeza de un imperio sobre tres continentes y alrededor del mar Mediterráneo. En un riguroso enfoque histórico y a partir de las mejores fuentes internacionales pero con la constante preocupación por la claridad, los autores ofrecen un libro único, tan importante por la masa de datos que recoge como por su excepcional propuesta gráfica.
World War II: Infographics
The mass of available data about World War II has never been as large as it is now, yet it has become increasingly complicated to interpret it in a meaningful way. Packed with cleverly designed graphics, charts and diagrams, World War II: Infographics offers a new approach by telling the story of the conflict visually. Encompassing the conflict from its roots to its aftermath, more than 50 themes are treated in great detail, ranging from the rise of the Far Right in pre-war Europe and mass mobilization, to evolving military tactics and technology and the financial and human cost of the conflict. Throughout, the shifting balance of power between the Axis and the Allies and the global nature of the war and its devastation are made strikingly clear.
The Craft of Zeus
In this dazzling commentary on Greek and Roman myth and society, weaving emerges as a metaphor rich with possibility. From rituals symbolizing the cohesion of society to the erotic and marital significance of weaving, this lively book defines the logic of one of the central concepts in Greek and Roman thought.
The Gods, the State, and the Individual
Roman religion has long presented a number of challenges to historians approaching the subject from a perspective framed by the three Abrahamic religions. The Romans had no sacred text that espoused its creed or offered a portrait of its foundational myth. They described relations with the divine using technical terms widely employed to describe relations with other humans. Indeed, there was not even a word in classical Latin that corresponds to the English word religion. In The Gods, the State, and the Individual, John Scheid confronts these and other challenges directly. If Roman religious practice has long been dismissed as a cynical or naïve system of borrowed structures unmarked by any...

Hitlerland
“Hitlerland is a bit of a guilty pleasure. Reading about the Nazis is not supposed to be fun, but Nagorski manages to make it so. Readers new to this story will find it fascinating” (The Washington Post). Hitler’s rise to power, Germany’s march to the abyss, as seen through the eyes of Americans—diplomats, military officers, journalists, expats, visiting authors, Olympic athletes—who watched horrified and up close. “Engaging if chilling…a broader look at Americans who had a ringside seat to Hitler’s rise” (USA TODAY), Hitlerland offers a gripping narrative full of surprising twists—and a startlingly fresh perspective on this heavily dissected era.
