We all know what it means to be stoical: to have a stiff upper lip, to hide or suppress ones emotions, to be indifferent to the outside world. Many people might reasonably think that this doesnt sound like a good way to live. Who would want to feel nothing?But what exactly is the difference between being stoic and being a Stoic? Are Stoics just naive optimists? And is Stoicism really only for men?StoicismIs Not What You Think offers an invigorating corrective to one of philosophys most popular and most misunderstood traditions. Here philosopher John Sellars debunks all the major myths and misconceptions foisted on Stoicism by critics and sometimes admirers too and firmly puts them to rest. With vivid examples and fresh interpretations of ancient Stoics, from Marcus Aurelius to Epictetus to Seneca, Sellars shows why Stoicism is not only perennially relevant but essential for navigating the complexities of modern life.

How the turmoil of revolution and war created the London we know today the worlds first truly global city.The French Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars changed London beyond recognition, turning it into the capital of the world the focal point of international finance and trade. Victory over France in 1815 ushered in the British Century: the next hundred years would be defined by Britains capitalist innovation and financial might, naval supremacy and imperial ambition.In this brilliant portrait of these pivotal years, Jerry White looks at how revolution and war on the Continent transformed the capital. While the manufacture of war materials brought wealth for some, high food prices led to bread riots. The war divided public opinion, with ultra-patriots clamouring for the defeat of Bony, while others sought to emulate the democratic reforms pioneered across the Channel. Crucially, the chaos and uncertainty on the Continent led to a mass flight of foreign bankers and merchants to London, which would help turn London into the worlds leading financial centre -- contemporaries called it The Modern Rome.Yet Birth of a Global City takes in the wider world too. Who was feeding London, in the British Isles and across the empire? How instrumental was Britains financial might in victory over France? What impact did the abolition of the slave trade in 1807 have on London, Britain and its empire? And how dangerous were the political ideas coming from the Continent? It was this turbulent period of war and political turmoil that created London as we know it today.
