The ancient world has cast a long shadow, influencing our customs and religious beliefs, our laws, and the form of our governments. It has taught us when and how we make war or pursue peace. It has shaped the buildings we live and work in and the art we hang on our walls. It has given us the calendar that organizes our year and has left its mark on the games we play.

In 1941 and 1942, the British and Indian armies were brutally defeated and Japan reigned supreme in its newly conquered territories throughout Asia. But change was coming. New commanders were appointed, significant training together with restructuring took place and new tactics were developed. A War of Empires by acclaimed historian Robert Lyman expertly retells these coordinated efforts and describes how a new volunteer Indian Army, rising from the ashes of defeat, would ferociously fight to turn the tide of war.

Discover the fascinating narrative of the early Roman Empire through the eyes of William Wolfe Capes (1834-1914), an Anglican cleric, classicist, and historian. This engaging chronicle spans from the tumultuous aftermath of Julius Caesars assassination in 44 B.C.E. to the downfall of the tyrant Domitian in 96 C.E.

WAR 1870–1949: How Empires Rise and FallThis is a story about why war happens when nobody truly wants it—until suddenly, everyone does.If you grew up with the usual explanation, you were told the First World War begins with a gunshot in Sarajevo. A young man steps forward, fires two rounds, and the world falls apart. It’s neat. It’s cinematic. It has a villain, a victim, a turning point, and a date you can underline. It also has the comforting illusion that history is a line of dominoes and that one pushed the rest.But the truth is crueler and more human.Sarajevo was not the beginning....

Starting with hands, abacus, and slide rule, humans have always reached for tools to simplify math. Pocket-sized calculators ushered in modern mathematics, helped build the atomic bomb, took us to the bottom of the ocean, and accompanied us to the moon. The pocket calculator changed our world, until it was supplanted by more modern devices that, in a cruel twist of irony, it helped to create. Keith Houston transports listeners from the nascent economies of the ancient world to World War II, and into the technological arms race that led to the first affordable electronic pocket calculators.
