It lays out in forensic detail the scale of the challenge Europeans and their allies face if Europe's peace is to be upheld in a transformative century. 

In an era of seemingly instant change, it's easy to think that today's revolutions - in communications, business, and many areas of daily life - are unprecedented. Today's changes may be new and may be happening faster than ever before. But our ancestors at times were just as bewildered by rapid upheavals in what we now call “networks” - the physical links that bind any society together.

In The Euro, Nobel Prize-winning economist and best-selling author Joseph E. Stiglitz dismantles the prevailing consensus around what ails Europe, demolishing the champions of austerity while offering a series of plans that can rescue the continent - and the world - from further devastation. Hailed by its architects as a lever that would bring Europe together and promote prosperity, the euro has done the opposite. As Stiglitz persuasively argues, the crises revealed the shortcomings of the euro.

The story of the young Teodor unravels on the background of the drama that his family and his country lived in the terrible days of the 1950s in a Stalinist Romania. While the Western countries were engaged in post-war reconstruction, the communist regime, imposed on Romanians by the Soviet Union, was committed to depriving its citizens of the most elementary freedoms and reducing an entire people to starvation. The regime threatens to eliminate the Flonta family, declaring Pavel, Teodor's father, an "enemy of the people". As a consequence, he is arrested, imprisoned and tortured.

What if there had been no World War I or no Russian Revolution? What if Napoleon had won at Waterloo in 1815, or if Martin Luther had not nailed his complaints to the church door at Wittenberg in 1517, or if the South had won the American Civil War? Black focuses on the role of counterfactualism in demonstrating the part of contingency, and thus human agency, in history, and the salutary critique the approach offers to determinist accounts of past, present, and future.

Age of Discovery explores a world on the brink of a new Renaissance and asks: how do we share more widely the benefits of unprecedented progress? How do we endure the inevitable tumult generated by accelerating change? How do we each thrive through this tangled, uncertain time? From gains in health, education, wealth and technology to crises of conflict, disease and mass migration, the similarities between today's world and that of the 15th century are both striking and prophetic: we have been here before.

Welcome to the future European Super-State—one continent united into a not-quite-homogenous whole.

A corporate negotiator trained to read micro-expressions, he controls every room he enters — until a woman with his exact face walks into the lobby of the Langham and hands him a thirty-year-old medical prototype with his initials etched into the back.

The Last Archivist of Europa --Europa did not sleep. Even beneath thirty kilometers of ice, the moon hummed — a low, resonant vibration that the engineers insisted was thermal stress, the physicists claimed was tidal flexing, and the station crew privately admitted felt like breathing. On the final night before the silence, the hum changed. It began as a faint modulation, a tremor so subtle that only the station’s oldest sensor — a forgotten seismic probe wedged deep in the ice — registered it. A single spike. Then another. Then a pattern. Not random. Not geological. Intentional. In...
