Byzantium And The Crusades - BOOK ANNOUNCEMENT – The Roman Revolution

I thought you might be interested to know that I've just published a book called The Roman Revolution. This is about the Roman Empire in the third century when Rome was truly revolutionized and ended up as a Christian monarchy. This was the origin of the Byzantine Empire, and so if you're interested in the Crusades, you might well enjoy this much earlier time in history which was so formative for both Byzantium and the Crusades.  Here is the link to the book on Amazon US. One click and you're there! Hope you enjoy it! 

Please take a look at my website nickholmesauthor.com where you can download a free copy of The Byzantine World War, my book that describes the origins of the First Crusade.

More or Less: Behind the Stats - Is Uganda about to become a middle income country?

In his State of the Nation address in early June 2022, Uganda?s President Yoweri Museveni said that Uganda was on the cusp of becoming a middle income country. That?s been contradicted by World Bank figures. In response to a question from a More or Less fan in Uganda, Tim Harford looks at how a country?s income status is calculated and what relevance it has. Featuring Rachel Sebudde, Senior Economist at the World Bank.
