  • The Silk Road

    by E.B Cohen ...
    For two thousand years a web of roads and sea-lanes ran from the heart of China to the shores of the Mediterranean, and along it moved almost everything that would make the modern world: silk and horses, glass and paper, gunpowder and porcelain, Buddhism and Islam, and — in the end — the plague that killed half of Europe. We call it the Silk Road. No one who traveled it ever did.E.B Cohen tells ... Read more

  • The Fall of Rome

    by E.B Cohen ...
    For five hundred years the Roman Empire was the largest, richest, most durable state the western world had ever seen — a machine of roads and legions and law that ran from the moors of Britain to the sands of Arabia. And then, across a single tumultuous century, the western half of it came apart in the hands of its own generals and the peoples it could no longer keep out. In the year 476 a ... Read more

  • The Cure

    by E.B Cohen ...
    For roughly the entire span of human existence, medicine did more harm than good. Physicians bled and purged their patients and explained it all with a theory of four bodily fluids that was elegant, confident, and almost entirely wrong. Half of all children died before they grew up. And then, in the space of a single long lifetime, nearly all of it changed.The Cure tells that astonishing story ... Read more

  • The Better Angels

    by E.B Cohen ...
    There are more books about Abraham Lincoln than about any other American, and it is easy for the living man to vanish behind the marble. This book finds him again. It follows a barefoot boy who walked miles to borrow books out of a one-room cabin, through the mud of the Illinois circuit and the fire of the Lincoln–Douglas debates, into the White House and a war that killed three-quarters of a ...

  • City of Ash

    by E.B Cohen ...
    In the small hours of Sunday, 2 September 1666, a fire began in a baker's house on a narrow lane called Pudding, a stone's throw from London Bridge. Four days later, the medieval City of London — a square mile of timber houses packed along twisting lanes — was gone: thirteen thousand houses, eighty-seven churches, the Royal Exchange, the Guildhall, and St Paul's Cathedral itself, all consumed, and ...

  • The Red Tempest

    by E.B Cohen ...
    In the space of a single year, the largest country on Earth tore up three centuries of monarchy, briefly became the freest nation in the world, and then fell to a party of revolutionaries who promised bread, peace, and land — and delivered a civil war, a secret police, and a new kind of state that would shadow the entire twentieth century. This is the story of the Russian Revolution: how the ... Read more

  • The Sleeping Giant

    by E.B Cohen ...
    On a quiet Sunday morning in December 1941, three hundred and fifty-three Japanese aircraft came out of the sun over Hawaii, and in one hundred and ten minutes they changed the world. By the time the smoke cleared over Battleship Row, more than two thousand four hundred Americans were dead, a reluctant nation had been hurled into war, and the largest conflict ever fought across the largest ocean ...

  • The Talking Wire

    by E.B Cohen ...
    On the tenth of March, 1876, in a rented Boston attic, a young teacher of the deaf spoke a single sentence into a crude wooden instrument, and his assistant, in another room, heard it come out of a wire. It was the first time in the history of the world that the living human voice had traveled down an electric line — and nothing would ever be the same.The Talking Wire tells the whole of that story ...

  • The Trust Machine

    by E.B Cohen ...
    On the last day of October 2008, with the world's banks in flames, a stranger calling himself Satoshi Nakamoto posted nine pages to an obscure mailing list. He proposed something everyone believed impossible: money with no bank, no company, no government behind it — a ledger kept by no one and everyone, secured not by trust but by mathematics. He built it, watched it grow, and then vanished ... Read more

  • The Sundered Union

    by E.B Cohen ...
    In 1861 a quarrel as old as the republic broke into open war, and for four years the United States tore itself apart over the question its founders had refused to answer: whether a nation conceived in liberty could endure half slave and half free.The Sundered Union tells the whole sweep of the American Civil War in a single, compelling volume. It follows the long road to Fort Sumter through ... Read more

  • The Great Dying

    by E.B Cohen ...
    In October 1347, a fleet of Genoese galleys limped into the harbour of Messina with most of their crews already dead or dying.

It was the deadliest catastrophe in recorded human history.This is the full sweep of that ... Read more

  • The Middle Passage

    by E.B Cohen ...
    For more than four centuries, from the 1440s to the 1860s, roughly twelve and a half million African men, women, and children were carried across the Atlantic in the holds of ships — the largest forced migration in human history. About one in seven died at sea. The survivors built the wealth of the Atlantic world with their bodies, and built new cultures with their spirit.In this single sweeping ... Read more
