La lágrima de Jantipa es un estudio de la Grecia clásica a partir de la palabra de los filósofos y su concepción de lo femenino, un ensayo histórico sobre la configuración de un pensamiento que suponía que las mujeres no debían ser educadas más allá de la labor matronalis y los deberes conyugales.

In The Aztec Drumbeat: Echoes Before the Conquest, history pulses through the streets of the great city, where emperors dream of omens and eagle warriors stand watch over ancient bloodlines.

In southern Iraq, a crushing silence hangs over the dunes. For nearly 5,000 years, the sands of the Iraqi desert have held the remains of the oldest known civilization: the Sumerians.

One misstep could ignite scandal, or a confrontation with a pitchfork.

He conquered kingdoms. He saved Rome itself. And history nearly forgot him. Belisarius was the greatest general the Roman Empire produced after Caesar—yet he never ruled, never rebelled, and never claimed the power he was repeatedly offered.

In August 1856, mine workers were excavating the Feldhofer Grotto in the western part of Germany. The cave was one of many in a narrow gorge cut by the Düssel River through limestone outcrops. Here, workers discovered what they believed were human bones. An amateur naturalist from the nearby town of Elberfeld, Johann Carl Fuhlrott, heard about the find and decided to take a look at the remains, which were said to be very old. This discovery would ultimately reshape our understanding of human evolution, though that realization would take many decades to unfold.

What if we have been missing a whole stage of how the canonical gospels came to be? What if there were a whole raft of prior Jesus narratives, the fragmentary vestiges of which now appear in Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John?

Is your map of reality incomplete? What if the unexplained isn’t chaos, but a system waiting to be seen? You’ve felt it - the shiver of a premonition, the pull of a forgotten place, a coincidence too sharp to be random. For too long, we’ve dismissed these flickers at the edge of perception as imagination or folklore. But what if they’re something more?

In this timely book, distinguished historian Thomas Madden explores the people, events, and factors that led to the collapse of some of the world's most enduring republics—from Carthage to Rome to Venice and beyond—and examines the worrying lessons these failures hold for the United States and other democracies today.

The Druids, the enigmatic high-ranking priestly class of the ancient Celts, continue to capture the human imagination. Their history, however, is largely a study of external perspectives; a mosaic pieced together from the writings of their Greco-Roman contemporaries and later medieval Irish literature. This lack of first-hand accounts is not due to a lack of literacy, but rather a doctrinal prohibition against writing down their sacred knowledge, opting instead for a rigorous oral tradition that could take up to twenty years to master.
