Current Professor Norman Davies (Honorary Fellow, Current) Plus ultra. Siegaj dalej. Wyprawa na horyzonty historii Znak Horyzont, 2024 An extraordinary journey through various corners of the globe, revealing unexpected connections between countries, cultures, and, of course, Poland. From the Baltic to the Himalayas, through the Bridge of No Return in Korea to the Amazonian forests, Davies explores how ideas, people, and culture spread across borders and eras. At every stage of this expedition, Chopin accompanies us. His pianos are everywhere: playing in the Japanese mountains, in Middle Eastern ruins, and evoking nostalgia along the Vistula River.
Dr Erin O’Halloran (DPhil Global & Imperial History, 2014) East of Empire: Egypt, India, and the World between the Wars Stanford University Press, 2025 Following World War I, British Egypt and India lay squarely at the heart of increasingly complex multilateral relations, suspended somewhere between the old world and a new one yet to materialise. Drawing on a broad cross-section of Indian, Arab, British, and European sources, East of Empire transcends archival partitions to tell a powerful set of interconnected stories about the end of empire across the Middle East and South Asia, from Egyptomania and Gandhi’s global celebrity to the epochal partitions of India and Palestine.

Dr Bilyana Lilly (Russian and East European Studies, 2012) Digital Mindhunters BookBaby, 2024 In a high-stakes game of espionage and deception, a female analyst uncovers Russia’s plot to wield artificial intelligence and disinformation as weapons of chaos against the United States. As she races against time to thwart an assassination plot, she finds herself entangled in a web of international intrigue and discovers a parallel threat from a Chinese spy network aiming to steal data and harness technology to dismantle U.S. democracy. In a world where lies are a weapon and trust is a luxury, she navigates the treacherous worlds of arms dealers, hackers, and spies to protect her country.
Alexander Clapp (Academic Visitor, 2022- 2023) Waste Wars Little, Brown, February 2025 Waste Wars is an investigation into the international waste trade—the strange industry whereby, since the end of the Cold War, huge amounts of the world’s waste have been getting shipped around the world, disproportionately from rich countries to poor. How and why did our garbage—the old plastic water bottles and busted electronics we deem so worthless we think nothing of throwing them away—come to spawn a massive, globe-spanning economy in the first place? And how is that, even after wealthy countries began to acknowledge in the early 1990s that this business was a great environmental injustice, did the garbage trade only continue to grow larger and more lucrative? Waste Wars is an attempt to tell the story of where your garbage travels - and who has to pay the disastrous price for its disposal.
