After The Plague

The Plague explores the profound changes and enduring continuities that shaped European society in the wake of the Black Death and other crises of the 1300s. Through a series of thematic chapters, the book examines the resilience of communities, the evolution of social and economic structures, the persistence of faith, and the seeds of cultural and intellectual transformation. Far from being an age of unmitigated darkness, the fourteenth century emerges as a dynamic period of adaptation, creativity, and the quiet beginnings of the modern world.

A World Unbroken explores an alternate history in which humanity never faced the devastation of plague. Through a series of deeply researched and humanized chapters, the book examines how uninterrupted population growth, stable communities, and the absence of mass mortality would have shaped every aspect of society, science, and culture. From art and architecture to law, migration, and the environment, each chapter delves into the ways in which continuity, rather than crisis, would have influenced the evolution of human experience. The narrative weaves together the threads of hope, fear, ambition, and innovation, offering a compelling vision of a world where progress is steady, traditions are preserved, and new challenges arise from abundance rather than loss.

Currents of Change explores the pivotal forces, encounters, and exchanges that have shaped the interconnected world we inhabit today. Spanning continents and centuries, this volume delves into the rise and fall of empires, the spread of ideas, the movement of people, and the evolution of economies. Through a humanized and insightful lens, it examines how trade, disease, religion, resistance, and innovation have woven together diverse societies, creating both opportunities and challenges. By tracing these global impacts, the book reveals the complexity, resilience, and creativity that define our shared human story.
