Toward the end of the thirteenth century, at about the time Marco Polo was being received by the great Khubilai Khan, a Nestorian Christian monk from China called Rabban Sauma was making the reverse journey from the Mongol capital (what is now Beijing) to Jerusalem. Upon reaching Baghdad—the first traveler to arrive from China—Sauma learned that his pilgrimage could not be fulfilled because of Islamic control of the Holy Land. In Voyager from Xanadu, Morris Rossabi traces Sauma’s trans-Eurasian travels against the turbulent era of the Mongol Empire and the last Crusades. His indispensable book provides a unique first-hand Asian perspective on Europe and illuminates a crucial period in the early history of global, diplomatic, and commercial networking.

In the spring of 1623 Charles, Prince of Wales, the young heir to the English and Scottish thrones donned a false wig and beard and slipped out of England under the assumed name of John Smith in order to journey to Madrid and secure for himself the hand of the King of Spain's daughter. His father James I and VI had been toying with the idea of a Spanish match for his son since as early as 1605, despite the profoundly divisive ramifications such a policy would have in the face of the determined 'Puritan' opposition in parliament, committed to combatting the forces of international Catholicism at every opportunity. With the Spanish ambassador, the machiavellian Count of Gondomar's encouragement to 'mount' Spain, Charles impetuously took matters into his own hands and as the negotiations stalled he departed secretly in the guise of Mr Smith to win with his romantic and foolhardy daring what his father could not achieve through diplomacy. The eventual failure and public humiliation that followed his journey to Madrid has been cited as a major influence on Charles's subsequent development and policies as king. Until now, there has been no attempt to systematically explore the failure of the Spanish match from an interdisciplinary perspective, including what it reveals about the practice of diplomacy, the taste, art, and dress of the period, its literature and the long-term consequences for Anglo-Spanish relations. In this volume leading scholars from a variety of disciplines analyse the reactions and representations of Charles's romantic escapade and offer their insights into the affair. In doing so many traditional assumptions about the trip are overturned. By taking into account the political, social, religious and international dimensions of the event, and examining historical, literary and artistic evidence, this volume paints a rounded, lively and vivid portrait of one of the most remarkable episodes of the Jacobean age.

DOENÇAS E VÍRUS MODERNOS têm sido impulsionados por guerras e conflitos, bem como por mudanças na distribuição da pobreza, urbanização, mudanças climáticas e um novo e problemático movimento anticiência e antivacinas. Por causa dessas forças do século XXI, vemos reduzidos os avanços prévios da saúde global, com aumentos agudos nas taxas de doenças negligenciadas e passíveis de prevenção com vacinas na Península Arábica, na Venezuela, em partes da África e mesmo na Costa do Golfo dos Estados Unidos. Em Prevenindo a próxima pandemia, o cientista internacional de vacinas e especialista em coronavírus e doenças tropicais Peter J. Hotez, M.D., Ph.D, argumenta que podemos – e devemos – apostar na diplomacia das vacinas para abordar a nova ordem mundial em doenças e saúde global. Ao trazer detalhes dos anos em que se dedicou a desenvolver novas vacinas em laboratório, Hotez também recorda suas viagens ao redor do mundo para criar parcerias para vacinação, em países ricos e pobres, na tentativa de extinguir problemas de saúde importantes. Dando continuidade ao legado do Dr. Albert Sabin, que desenvolveu a vacina oral contra a poliomielite em conjunto com cientistas soviéticos no auge da Guerra Fria, ele explica como podemos renovar e redirecionar a diplomacia das vacinas para as novas doenças emergentes e as doenças negligenciadas. Durante o período como enviado científico dos EUA para o Oriente Médio e Norte da África na era Obama – que coincidiu com o avanço dessas forças geopolíticas e com as mudanças climáticas –, Hotez revela como acompanhou de perto o ressurgimento de doenças infecciosas tropicais e o estabelecimento de parcerias para o desenvolvimento de vacinas para combatê-las. Ele explora por que, desde 2015, temos visto reduzidas a coesão e a colaboração globais em detrimento dos programas que poderiam beneficiar as pessoas mais vulneráveis no mundo. Infelizmente, declara Hotez, esses eventos globais negativos alimentam uma cadeia interminável de consequências. Problemas em um país podem levar a surtos de doenças, e esses surtos podem causar problemas maiores – como o impacto causado pelo coronavírus na sociedade e economia chinesas que foi sentido no mundo todo. Ao se concentrar nos fatores sociopolíticos e ambientais que desencadeiam as mais controversas e urgentes preocupações em relação a saúde global, Hotez propõe métodos historicamente comprovados para diminuir a tensão nas relações internacionais e nos preparar para um futuro mais seguro e saudável. Ele ressalta a importância da participação pública para comunicar a urgência de adotarmos a ciência durante esses tempos turbulentos. Abordando uma gama de doenças, desde a leishmaniose, a esquistossomose e a síndrome respiratória do Oriente Médio (MERS) até a Covid-19, Prevenindo a próxima pandemia mostra que a prevenção de pandemias é sempre oportuna, mas será ainda mais importante em um mundo com Covid-19 e pós-Covid-19.

Bringing together a variety of evidence, such as princely correspondence, travelogues, financial accounts, chronicles, chivalric or Renaissance poems, this book examines marital travels of princely brides and grooms on a comparative trans-European scale. This book argues that these journeys were extraordinary events and were instrumental for dynastical and monarchical self-representation, and channelled aspirations and anxieties of princely houses when facing each other. Each such journey was a little earthquake that resonated across all layers of society. Hundreds of diplomats, envoys, aristocrats, city officials, low-status personnel, soldiers, artists, musicians, poets, and humanists were involved in preparing, executing, and commemorating them. Stretching far beyond the mere physical movements of the future royal spouse, the journeys snowballed into a myriad of other meanings that epitomised the very character of a society based on prestige, magnificence, honour, and glory. The story of nuptial travelling is fascinating and rich; it is a perfect condensation of monarchical order, dynastic agenda, value system, personal motives, female agency, and social networks in this period. It is dynasty in motion, prestige on wheels, queenly time, place, and time like no other. This volume is the perfect resource for upper-level students and scholars of court studies, the history of monarchy, and for those interested in premodern Europe.

Thomas Jefferson has inspired countless books that explore his brilliant career, his political philosophy, and his extraordinary accomplishments as a gifted leader. Endlessly inquisitive, he was both a tireless writer and one of the most cosmopolitan men of his age. Yet this collection of Jefferson's reflections on his wide-ranging travels reveals a new side of the man. Eloquent and powerful, Thomas Jefferson's letters and travel diaries from his years abroad as the U.S. minister to France spill onto the pages of this volume in wonderful detail, covering the full range of his interests and passions. Editor Anthony Brandt has sifted through the myriad of writings from this rich period of Jefferson's career to present not only the politician and diplomat but Thomas Jefferson the lover, the father, the farmer, the architect, the man about town, the scientist, the visionary. Jefferson emerges at the end a fully dimensional man, with all his virtues, his flaws, and his extraordinary brilliance fleshed out, standing vividly before us. Thomas Jefferson formulated many of America's highest ideals. Here we see the man himself, and glimpse the world through his eyes.

Emirs in London recounts how Northern Nigerian Muslim aristocrats who traveled to Britain between 1920 and Nigerian independence in 1960 relayed that experience to the Northern Nigerian people. Moses E. Ochonu shows how rather than simply serving as puppets and mouthpieces of the British Empire, these aristocrats leveraged their travel to the heart of the empire to reinforce their positions as imperial cultural brokers, and to translate and domesticate imperial modernity in a predominantly Muslim society. Emirs in London explores how, through their experiences visiting the heart of the British Empire, Northern Nigerian aristocrats were enabled to define themselves within the framework of the empire. In doing so, the book reveals a unique colonial sensibility that complements rather than contradicts the traditional perspectives of less privileged Africans toward colonialism. Emirs in London was named in the Brittle Paper 100 Notable African Books of 2022 list.

In office less than half a year, President George Washington undertook an arduous month-long tour of New England to promote his new government and to dispel fears of monarchy. More than two hundred years later, American presidents still regularly traverse the country to advance their political goals and demonstrate their connection to the people. In this first book-length study of the history of presidential travel, Richard Ellis explores how travel has reflected and shaped the changing relationship between American presidents and the American people. Tracing the evolution of the president from First Citizen to First Celebrity, he spins a lively narrative that details what happens when our leaders hit the road to meet the people. Presidents, Ellis shows, have long placed travel at the service of politics: Rutherford "the Rover" Hayes visited thirty states and six territories and was the first president to reach the Pacific, while William Howard Taft logged an average of 30,000 rail miles a year. Unearthing previously untold stories of our peripatetic presidents, Ellis also reveals when the public started paying for presidential travel, why nineteenth-century presidents never left the country, and why earlier presidents-such as Andrew Jackson, once punched in the nose on a riverboat-journeyed without protection. Ellis marks the fine line between accessibility and safety, from John Quincy Adams skinny-dipping in the Potomac to George W. clearing brush in Crawford. Particularly important, Ellis notes, is the advent of air travel. While presidents now travel more widely, they have paradoxically become more remote from the people, as Air Force One flies over towns through which presidential trains once rumbled to rousing cheers. Designed to close the gap between president and people, travel now dramatizes the distance that separates the president from the people and reinforces the image of a regal presidency. As entertaining as it is informative, Ellis's book is a sprightly account that takes readers along on presidential jaunts through the years as our leaders press flesh and kiss babies, ride carriages and trains, plot strategies on board ships and planes, and try to connect with the citizens they represent.
