An intermediate-band photometric study of the "globular cluster" NGC 2419

NGC 2419 is one of the remotest star clusters in the Milky Way halo and its exact nature is yet unclear.

We review the Italian historiography on Italy's involvement in Eritrea, supplementing it with novel archival data. The focus is on the activities of private enterprises and agricultural settlements, and on the Italian state's colonial spending, particularly

The Wealth and Poverty of African States Economic Growth, Living Standards and Taxation since the Late Nineteenth Century

A wealth of new data have been unearthed in recent years on African economic growth, wages, living standards, and taxes. In The Wealth and Poverty of African States, Morten Jerven shows how these findings transform our understanding of African economic development. He focuses on the central themes and questions that these state records can answer, tracing how African states evolved over time and t
