The Roman Republic was one of the most remarkable achievements in the history of civilization. After its founding in 509 BCE, the Romans refused to allow a single leader to seize control of the state and grab absolute power. The Roman commitment to cooperative government and peaceful transfers of power was unmatched in the history of the ancient world. But by the year 133 BCE, the republican system was unable to cope with the vast empire Rome now ruled.

The 14th century reflects two contradictory images: on the one hand, a glittering time of crusades and castles, cathedrals and chivalry, and the exquisitely decorated Books of Hours; and on the other, a time of ferocity and spiritual agony, a world of chaos and the plague.

Histoire4.5 out of 5 stars 3
The barbarian nomads of the Eurasian steppes have played a decisive role in world history, but their achievements have gone largely unnoticed. These nomadic tribes have produced some of the world’s greatest conquerors: Attila the Hun, Genghis Khan and Tamerlane, among others. Their deeds still resonate today. Indeed, these nomads built long-lasting empires, facilitated the first global trade of the Silk Road and disseminated religions, technology, knowledge and goods of every description that enriched and changed the lives of so many across Europe, China and the Middle East.

Histoire4.5 out of 5 stars 45
The struggle between Rome and Carthage in the Punic Wars was arguably the greatest and most desperate conflict of antiquity. The forces involved and the casualties suffered by both sides were far greater than in any wars fought before the modern era, while the eventual outcome had far-reaching consequences for the history of the Western World, namely the ascendancy of Rome. An epic of war and battle, this is also the story of famous generals and leaders: Hannibal, Fabius Maximus, Scipio Africanus, and his grandson Scipio Aemilianus, who would finally bring down the walls of Carthage.

In The End Is Always Near, Dan Carlin looks at questions and historical events that force us to consider what sounds like fantasy; that we might suffer the same fate that all previous eras did. Will our world ever become a ruin for future archaeologists to dig up and explore? The questions themselves are both philosophical and like something out of The Twilight Zone.

Description
The creator of the hit podcast series Tides of History and Fall of Rome explores the four explosive decades between 1490 and 1530, bringing to life the dramatic and deeply human story of how the West was reborn.
In the best-selling tradition of The Swerve and A Distant Mirror, The Verge tells the story of a period that marked a decisive turning point for both European and world history. Here, author Patrick Wyman examines two complementary and contradictory sides of the same historical coin: the world-altering implications of the developments of printed mass media, extreme taxation, exploitative globalization, humanistic learning, gunpowder warfare, and mass religious conflict in the long term, and their intensely disruptive consequences in the short-term.
As told through the lives of 10 real people - from famous figures like Christopher Columbus and wealthy banker Jakob Fugger to a ruthless small-time merchant and a one-armed mercenary captain - The Verge illustrates how their lives, and the times in which they lived, set the stage for an unprecedented globalized future.
Over an intense 40-year period, the seeds for the so-called "Great Divergence" between Western Europe and the rest of the globe would be planted. From Columbus' voyage across the Atlantic to Martin Luther's sparking the Protestant Reformation, the foundations of our own, recognizably modern world came into being.
For the past 500 years, historians, economists, and the policy-oriented have argued which of these individual developments best explains the West's rise from backwater periphery to global dominance. As The Verge presents it, however, the answer is far more nuanced.

Excellent book
The Verge is a fantastic book about a fascinating period of history and makes it all easily understood and digestible. Patrick Wyman has done an excellent job and should be very proud of himself.

Great podcaster, great historian
He tells, and reads, a very illuminating history through the lives of several key figures. He makes a persuasive case for this pivotal 40 year period in history for modernity. And I love the Tides of History pod.

It was ok
Coming to this from Revolutions podcast. All I can say is that it is ok.
Definitely not a deep dive in to any aspect of the period under consideration- more of a broad overview.
The narrative details start out interesting, but become annoying as the book goes on. Try and keep track of the number of characters who end up “sweating under the hot sun!”

Great Stuff
Ties the historical narrative of a very important time to a variety of different scales of individual stories from primary sources. Wyman is a careful author who shows the immense power and immense harm that came from the financialization of Western Europe in the period he describes.
Also a fantastic performance. Listened while I was working with a brush saw in the bush, kept me sane.

What you want in a popular history book.
Wyman’s writing is a great overview of the early modern era. He covers the major players of the era, gives context for the events, and adds in narrative touches that bring you back to the period.

Money and Change
If you have heard Patrick's podcast then he, his writing, and narration need more introduction. If you are new to Patrick, you are in for a wonderful journey. 30 years, roughly 1490-1530, is viewed through the lives of a handful of individuals; famous, infamous, and unknown. I couldn't put it down.
