The Bully Frog is a story of integrity despite being bullied. In a comfortable corner of a swamp, a little frog named Weebit lives happily until The Bully Frog, Brrok, shows up. Weebit welcomes him to his part of the swamp, but Brrok not only looks down on the little froggy, but kicks him off the log. When the bugs that Weebit lives on disappear, the little frog finds out that Brrok is not alone but came with his kin. They all join Brrok in his bullying attitude and chase Weebit away. Then Weebit finds out an alligator is headed for the bullfrogs. At first he thinks he could let it go, since the bullies would not warn him. But keeping true to himself, he warns the bullies that danger is near.
L thien is a powerful Elf with a talent that has been hunted to the brink of extinction by the Demons. She is a Daughter of the Sun, a female Elf able to help souls find their way in the darkness, and back into the light. Her talent is to spread, and keep, the light amongst her people, and in extreme cases, to help Elves who have lost their way. With the rescue of Garoldth's brother, Golradir, her powers have never been needed more. His treatment at the hands of the Demons has left him scarred, both mentally and physically. Golradir would have been King instead of Garoldth, if he hadn't been captured. He had been held captive for over fifteen hundred years, and during that time he was tortured mercilessly. Now that he is free he only wants to be left in peace. It is not that simple in the Elven world, especially when the one Elf, who can heal both his body and his soul, is his Life Mate. His soul reaches for hers, but he refuses to allow the connection. He feels unworthy. Tainted. Can he reach past his fears? Or will he let the evil he believes the Demons implanted in the deepest recesses of his soul destroy them both?
A decade after the Soviet Union and the People's Republic of China established their formidable alliance in 1950, escalating public disagreements between them broke the international communist movement apart. In The Sino-Soviet Split, Lorenz Luthi tells the story of this rupture, which became one of the defining events of the Cold War. Identifying the primary role of disputes over Marxist-Leninist ideology, Luthi traces their devastating impact in sowing conflict between the two nations in the areas of economic development, party relations, and foreign policy. The source of this estrangement was Mao Zedong's ideological radicalization at a time when Soviet leaders, mainly Nikita Khrushchev, became committed to more pragmatic domestic and foreign policies. Using a wide array of archival and documentary sources from three continents, Luthi presents a richly detailed account of Sino-Soviet political relations in the 1950s and 1960s. He explores how Sino-Soviet relations were linked to Chinese domestic politics and to Mao's struggles with internal political rivals. Furthermore, Luthi argues, the Sino-Soviet split had far-reaching consequences for the socialist camp and its connections to the nonaligned movement, the global Cold War, and the Vietnam War. The Sino-Soviet Split provides a meticulous and cogent analysis of a major political fallout between two global powers, opening new areas of research for anyone interested in the history of international relations in the socialist world.
The Iron Curtain remains an iconic representation of the Cold War. But what was it really on the ground? Fortified borders to prevent citizens from leaving emerged first in the interwar USSR and then in socialist post-WW II Europe. Fortifications occurred both at borders between socialist states and at their external boundaries to the non-socialist world, but not in all cases. The most well-known case – the Berlin Wall – was both an extreme example as well as a latecomer. But since 1947, Yugoslavia, Hungary, and Czechoslovakia had fortified their borders to prevent exit. When East Germany started to build walls around West Berlin and at its borders to West Germany in the 1960s, Yugoslavia was already dismantling its border regime and Hungary was granting passports and exit visas to its citizens. Fortified borders also appeared at external borders in northern and southeastern Europe, in the Caucasus, and in Asia.

What was the Cold War that shook world politics for the second half of the twentieth century? Standard narratives focus on Soviet-American rivalry as if the superpowers were the exclusive driving forces of the international system. Lorenz M. Lüthi offers a radically different account, restoring agency to regional powers in Asia, the Middle East and Europe and revealing how regional and national developments shaped the course of the global Cold War. Despite their elevated position in 1945, the United States, Soviet Union and United Kingdom quickly realized that their political, economic, and military power had surprisingly tight limits given the challenges of decolonization, Asian-African internationalism, pan-Arabism, pan-Islamism, Arab–Israeli antagonism, and European economic developments. A series of Cold Wars ebbed and flowed as the three world regions underwent structural changes that weakened or even severed their links to the global ideological clash, leaving the superpower Cold War as the only major conflict that remained by the 1980s.
