Emily O'Reilly, EU Ombudsman, discusses a controversial agreement between the EU and Tunisia, designed to limit migrant flows across the Mediterranean

#151: Okay - the past couple days of clouds were a nice break from the hot weather. But love it or hate it... that L.A. heat is always just right around the corner. Controlling urban heat is a major issue: it touches everything from health, to the environment, to your wallet. And running the AC all day can cost a pretty penny, assuming you're not one of the 20% of Angelenos who live without AC. This is where cool roofs come in. It's L.A.'s new-fangled solution that got its start a couple thousand years ago in the Mediterranean, and is now required by law for all new roofs in the city. Join LAist climate reporter Erin Stone as she takes HTLA host Brian De Los Santos down to Watts. The neighborhood received a grant to install free cool roofs, AND solar, for local residents.   

Miranda Massie is the Director and founder of the Climate Museum in New York City. The Climate Museum uses the power of arts and cultural programming to create an ongoing and progressive conversation surrounding the climate crisis. Her institution is committed to inspiring climate activism through art. The work she and her crew does invites people to recognize their own ability to act on climate change. It's an advocacy museum, she says, where they hope their audience will take action, to consider themselves as climate ambassadors who actively engaged in climate change action. Miranda says that appealing to a rationalist perspective doesn't work. That's actually how she found her way to creating the Climate Museum. It was 2012 and Hurricane Sandy was wreaking havoc on New York City. She lives in the city, so she watched as the effects of climate change were brought to her front door. Before that, she had understood climate change on a rational level, but faced with the destruction caused by the hurricane she was compelled — emotionally — by the urgency and the challenges of the climate crisis. So, she made a radical shift, she quit her job as an attorney and created the Climate Museum. Her mission then as it is now, was a deep civic shift toward climate dialogue across people's personal and professional lives. A ubiquitous understanding and acceptance of the crisis that will lead to meaningful climate policy. In this Chatter Marks series, Cody and co-host Dr. Sandro Debono talk to museum directors and knowledge holders about what museums around the world are doing to adapt and react to climate change. Dr. Debono is a museum thinker from the Mediterranean island of Malta. He works with museums to help them strategize around possible futures.

The traditions of the eucharist. Communion, closed, open, traditional, meals, fellowship with results: strength, resolve, hope, wisdom, understanding, presence of God.Read and explore Text.Notice, before the big event, a daily investment in small faith steps prepares us for the great storms of life! Paul started by being faithful in little things along this great path he is living.Sea of Adria was in the middle of the Mediterranean while the Gulf of Adria what we today call the Adriatic Sea. As they near shipwreck, it becomes clear to the crew that Paul's prophecy is coming to pass.  Fear is still present.  Some want to escape.  Now Paul is in control with divine authority. His insight is followed by the centurion. When the ship starts to run aground, the centurion wants to save Paul, and the prisoners so all make it to shore.What is the purpose of the very clear and extensive account given by Luke here and not in Chapter 21? Notice the lack of calming the storm. Here there is something else that God is doing, namely, he is establishing the power of faith and God's control over history in sight of overwhelming paganism. What could be construed as magic has no place in the very real fear of the elements of nature. God is not tinkering with natural and human processes with arbitrary interventions, but with the direction of the human heart by revealing the purposes and call of God.  See Luke 21:12-19. When we are caught in the complexity of social entanglements, our faith in God must not be focused so much on the elimination of these circumstances but on God's power that enables us to endure and so gain possession of our lives!Here we find the real value of prophecy:  Though Paul is predicting the future and seeing it fulfilled, he is also a spokesperson for God! He advises, exhorts, comforts, strengthens, challenges as a servant of God whom he serves! And at the center of the storm and its ravages, fears, and confusion, he breaks bread.  Of the 276 on board, only 3 are Christians. Yet he includes all with dramatic results – not all believe, some try to escape, but all are brought to safety as he said they would. This act of faith changed the course of the events, as it gave courage, strength, and hope to all. Paul's faith reminds us of Mary, who chose to believe God and whet he said would come to pass.  Put your faith in Jesus today.

In the first of three programmes, the BBC's Frey Lindsay accompanies the charity rescue vessel the Ocean Viking to explore the myriad costs involved in irregular migration across the Mediterranean. Each year hundreds of thousands of people attempt the extremely dangerous crossing from Libya to Italy, paying smugglers thousands of dollars. We meet some of those people and find out how and why they're making the journey. Presenter/producer: Frey Lindsay (Picture: Rescuees huddle onboard the SOS Méditerranée rescue ship The Ocean Viking.

Friday, 15 September 2023   And when he met us at Assos, we took him on board and came to Mitylene. Acts 20:14   The Greek reads, “And when he met with us at Assos, having taken him up, we came to Mitylene” (CG).   In the previous verse, the missionaries were set to sail for Assos while Paul took the journey on foot. Now, Luke's words continue with, “And when he met with us at Assos.”   Without any comment as to why the two parties traveled separately and without any details of their meeting up, other than that they met, it is apparent that it occurred as planned. It isn't even sure which arrived first. The words simply indicate that they came together. With that, Luke next records, “having taken him up, we came to Mitylene.”   Paul got on board, and they departed. Their first stop is noted as Mitylene. This was, and still is, the capital of the island known as Lesbos. It is about 30 miles south of Assos and just off the west coast of Anatolia. The island is one of the largest in the Aegean Sea and is the seventh largest in the Mediterranean. Its total circumference is about 168 miles. As for the name of the location, Abarim says –   “The name Mitylene comes from the adjective μιτυλος (mitulos), which in turn is related to the familiar Latin word mutilus, from which comes our English verb ‘to mutilate.' How and from what the Greek language derived our word μιτυλος (mitulos) isn't clear but from its sparse usages it appears that it was solely used in the meaning of hornless.”   This location, Hornless, is noted only this one time in the Bible.   Life application: Paul spent the entire last night at Troas talking to the disciples there. He then got up and walked the distance from Troas to Mitylene. As those on the ship met him there, it is apparent he didn't sleep the entire time it took to meet up with them. It makes guessing why he determined to walk all the more curious.   It is, however, good to stop and consider such things because we can then evaluate our own paths that we decide to take. Paul may or may not have walked that particular area before, but he knew that Mitylene awaited him. It is good to set out on a new path at times, but there has to be a reason for doing so. There also needs to be a goal at the end that is expected. If not, you will be ambling blindly. This doesn't mean we at all control our steps. We may not make it till tomorrow morning. But if we do, we should at least have a plan for when we get there. In the meantime, we should include the Lord in the process. The words of James instruct us on this –   “Come now, you who say, ‘Today or tomorrow we will go to such and such a city, spend a year there, buy and sell, and make a profit'; 14 whereas you do not know what will happen tomorrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapor that appears for a little time and then vanishes away. 15 Instead you ought to say, ‘If the Lord wills, we shall live and do this or that.'” James 4:13-15   Heavenly Father, direct our steps according to Your wisdom. We do have to plan them, but our plans are still at Your allowance. So, Lord, may the two be harmoniously put together through Your guiding hand. We look to You for each breath, so if it is Your will, may our plans be in accord with what You would have us do. Amen.  

This what happens when a failed state meets global warming. An estimated one-tenth of Derna's population is still missing after last Sunday's failure of two 1970s-era dams in the Libyan city. Libya has been divided in half over the past decade by rival factions, meaning that no authority issued warnings over Storm Daniel, which drew on record water temperatures in the Mediterranean to pummel the country with rainfall. Libya's disaster came a day after Morocco's biggest earthquake in a century.

Sailing in the Mediterranean Episode 274 Steve Payne pt 1 England to Malta on a motorboat Quick bio:   I was born on the south coast of England, but moved to London as soon as I could. After a few silly jobs, I decided to become a photographer. I had cards printed up before I even owned a camera.  Started out working for the music press and ended up working for The Evening Standard, London's newspaper, but I slowly slipped back into the music industry and ended up directing a bunch of live concert videos. Then I got invited to do a couple of jobs in Los Angeles and fell in love with the place ….. so I stayed ….. for 27 years. I returned to the UK to look after my elderly mother, after she had floated off into the ether, I had some choices to make. To be honest, I didn't see a great future in the slowly declining United Kingdom, so I bought a boat and headed south. I wasn't even sure where I was aiming for, but Malta kept creeping into the conversation. After two wonderful years travelling on the rivers and canals of France, then around the coast of France, Italy and Sicily, I ended up in Malta. It's been quite an adventure. You might wanna take a look at a couple of my videos or background. https://youtu.be/p6wYIuzic5I https://youtu.be/Nbsc4DLozCw https://youtu.be/7xW7FlIkuCE     Please Consider supporting the podcast in Patreon If you have ideas for future podcasts or comments please drop me a note! and PLEASE rate my podcast in iTunes and perhaps write a note. link https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/sailing-in-the-mediterranean/id566678892?mt=2 https://www.medsailor.com/ If you're interested in my sailing instructional audio series here are the links: Sailing!

The death toll in Libya continues to rise to devastating heights, with the Red Crescent reporting more than 11,300 fatalities. Experts say that the Mediterranean storm that dumped torrential rain on the Libyan coast is the latest extreme weather event to carry some of the hallmarks of climate change.

In 2022 the US EPA opened a civil rights investigation into whether the State of Louisiana overburdens Black communities along “Cancer Alley” with toxic industries. But the agency abruptly closed the inquiry when the Louisiana attorney general filed a suit charging reverse discrimination. Also, Africa has emitted a tiny fraction of global greenhouse gas emissions but is experiencing catastrophic impacts with little ability to adapt. So, climate finance was a focus of the recent Africa Climate Summit, which took place in advance of the Climate Ambition Summit that UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres is convening in New York on September 20th. And overfishing, warming oceans, invasive species and unsustainable tourism threaten the rich marine life in the Mediterranean. So, a Turkish civil engineer and diver got together with local fishermen to pilot a community-run Marine Protected Area that led to expanded marine conservation in Turkey, and he was recognized with the 2023 Goldman Environmental Prize for Asia. -- Want to dig deeper on these stories?

Earlier this week the deadly Mediterranean cyclone, Storm Daniel, swept through the small city of Derna in Libya, collapsing a 50-year-old dam in its wake, and triggering devastating floods which have killed over 5000 people. We speak to atmospheric scientist, Stavros Dafis, about the cyclone's characteristics and to civil and structural engineer, Lis Bowman, about the dam collapse. Unsurprisingly, it all comes back to climate change. Far, far from Earth, the James Webb Space Telescope has set its site on the atmosphere of exoplanet K2-18b where the presence of methane and carbon dioxide offer the tantalising possibility of an extraterrestrial Ocean. Astrophysicist Nikku Madhusudhan discusses his exciting results. And an even less expected presence in space: the ancient remains of our ancestors. Archaeologist Lee Berger has come under fire after sending precious bone samples on a Virgin Galactic space flight. South African archaeologist, Robyn Pickering, expresses the frustration that is on everyone's mind. Also expressing their anger, two young climate protesters recently stormed the stage during an orchestral performance at a Swiss music festival. But, to everyone's surprise, conductor Vladimir Jurowski allowed them to speak to his audience. We hear from the Renovate Switzerland protestors, Anthony and Selina, on their unlikely experience.

See all the Healthcasts at https://www.biobalancehealth.com/healthcast-blog BioBalance® Health uses other forms of measurement to determine body composition, and to diagnose healthy weight, versus overweight and obesity. BMI is a calculation of healthy weight, overweight, and obesity using just two parameters: Height and Weight. The US government endorses and uses this measurement in many ways to manage citizens, categorize them and even pay their salaries.  The AMA has been using this as a measurement of body health for decades. As of July 2023, the AMA is rejecting this measurement of health and illness. Calculate your BMI Go to https://www.calculator.net/bmi-calculator.html and you can calculate your own BMI. Below is a chart that many types of companies and people use as a reliable measurement to use for many purposes.  Below is the NIH explanation of BMI.  You can find your BMI and corollate it with how lean your body is. The Body Mass Index (BMI) Calculator can be used to calculate BMI value and corresponding weight status while taking age into consideration. Use the “Metric Units” tab for the International System of Units or the “Other Units” tab to convert units into either US or metric units. Note that the calculator also computes the Ponderal Index in addition to BMI, both of which are discussed below in detail. BMI introduction BMI is a measurement of a person's leanness or corpulence based on their height and weight and is intended to quantify tissue mass. It is widely used as a general indicator of whether a person has a healthy body weight for their height. Specifically, the value obtained from the calculation of BMI is used to categorize whether a person is underweight, normal weight, overweight, or obese depending on what range the value falls between. These ranges of BMI vary based on factors such as region and age and are sometimes further divided into subcategories such as severely underweight or very severely obese. Being overweight or underweight can have significant health effects, so while BMI is an imperfect measure of healthy body weight, it is a useful indicator of whether any additional testing or action is required. Refer to the table below to see the different categories based on BMI that are used by the calculator. Nurses have understood the fallacy of using BMI to judge whether a patient is overweight or not for decades, but the AMA and medical specialty societies have defended its use for as long as I have been in medical practice.  However, BMI is a crude way to evaluate patients for obesity and we use a more accurate measure, a true body composition from an InBody® machine to determine exactly how much fat, muscle, and water our patients are made of and if they need to lose fat for their health. This true measurement of body composition gives us an accurate measurement of your percent body fat, weight of your muscle and your visceral fat (belly fat) measurement. You may say, “so what?”, but I'll give you a few examples of how BMI is an INACCURATE measurement to follow for healthcare and for insurance, and other agencies that require employees to be a certain weight for their height. In my practice I take care of two men whose height is exactly the same, 5-10 (70 inches), both weigh 200 lbs., and they both have a BMI of 28.69 which is considered overweight (normal is < 25). However, the two men are very different in their body compositions and therefore their health risks:  Man number one has very little muscle and 30% body fat and is overweight and therefore is at risk for diseases that accompany obesity, high blood pressure, diabetes and heart disease.  Man number two has a very muscular build with heavy bones and has a body fat of 19% and looks lean and is healthy and is not at risk for hypertension, heart disease and diabetes. The BMI makes them the same, and therefore their doctors and employers consider them the same for insurance, treatment of their illnesses and categorization in medical studies that determine the qualities that put patients at risk for diseases.  Therefore, BMI is a very bad measurement to judge whether a person is at risk for diseases of obesity. The medical industry is big and slow, and this measurement will not be replaced with something else in the near future, however this gives you a basis for challenging the measurement as a basis for promotion, or a reason to deny you insurance or charge you more for insurance.  At Bio balance® Health we have used % body fat and abdominal visceral fat determined by a body composition machine (InBody) as our only measurements to determine future risk, and to determine whether someone requires weight loss treatment or not. BMI is very unfair to those people who are required to maintain a healthy weight for their jobs.  Those men and women who are in the armed forces cannot be promoted in rank unless they have a BMI of 25 or less, however the training that is required and the strength and stamina to be in the active military means that they must work out and exercise to build muscle, which then disqualifies them from promotion because it causes them to gain weight, but healthy weight. Using the BMI as a measurement, can cause a person to be disqualified for promotion because they are well muscled! Not only the US military discriminates against people with high BMI due to high percentage of muscle mass, the life insurance and health insurance industry does as well! A person is labeled obese and therefore “high risk” for illness and death just because they have a high percentage of muscle mass which is healthy, and not a risk. This makes some fit people uninsurable or increases what their life and health insurance costs. The worst discrimination by BMI discriminates against genetically highly muscled groups of people. The BMI was created using white males and white females making them the standard, however some genetic groups from African, Hispanics, Italians and other groups of people from Mediterranean and middle eastern heritage are discriminated against because they have a higher percentage of muscle and bone mass normally, compared with Caucasians, eastern Indians, and Asians, therefore using the BMI causes these groups to look “fatter” when they are really more muscled with thicker bones, which is healthier, not a higher risk for illness.   Obviously, people with high muscle mass can still be obese, but it should not be determined by height and weight alone. This decision by the AMA has been a long time coming, and the number of people who have been harmed by this method of determining obesity is incalculable. BMI is just a measurement based on height and weight.  For some average height and weight people, it is an accurate evaluation of normal body weight vs obesity. However, most people have various degrees of muscle mass, and it is the amount of muscle mass that skews the BMI measurement and judges some people as “obese” when they are at a healthy weight, and others are considered normal weight and composition even when they have a high body fat content and very little muscle.   AMA urges physicians to rethink use of BMI calculation The American Medical Association voted this week to recommend that physicians not rely solely on body mass index as a way to evaluate whether a person is at a healthy weight, as there may be biases and inaccuracies inherent in the method. The AMA recommended that physicians also take into account visceral fat, body adiposity index, metabolic and genetic factors, and fat, bone and muscle percentage. Dr. Scott Hagan of the University of Washington termed BMI “a very poor measure of general health,” adding, “Someone with an elevated BMI may be perfectly healthy.” Full Story: The New York Times (6/15)

Authorities in eastern Libya say at least 2,000 thousand people are believed dead and thousands more missing after a massive flood has torn through the city of Derna. Officials say that two dams have burst, washing away large swathes of the city after a powerful storm which pummelled Greece last week before moving over the Mediterranean and making landfall in the North African nation.

The Suez Canal is one of the world's most famous waterways - connecting the Red Sea to the Mediterranean, and opening up trade between the East and the West. But ever since its legendary construction in 1869, the Suez Canal has been at the centre of conflict and controversy. Why does a ditch in a desert spark years of political crises? Who helped turn a pharaoh's dream into a reality? And how does a 19th Century waterway still hold the key to global trade almost 2,000 years later? This is a Short History Of The Suez Canal. Written by Kate Harrison. With thanks to Sal Mercogliano, former merchant mariner and professor of history at Campbell University.

In the second year of the Peloponnesian War, the stage was set for a continuation of the struggle between Sparta and Athens. Archidamus, the Spartan commander, spearheaded an invasion of Attica with renewed fervour, while Athens harnessed its maritime might to direct a potent fleet towards a more expansive target on the Peloponnesian shores. Yet, amidst the echoes of warfare, an unforeseen and insidious adversary emerged – the plague.Originating from the Mediterranean's depths, the plague infiltrated Athens, exploiting its cosmopolitan trade networks. The city's bustling trade connections became both a source of prosperity and a conduit for disaster. However, the plague's devastation was exacerbated by the city's burgeoning population, driven to unprecedented numbers by the demands of the war. This surging populace led to congested streets and squalid living conditions, creating an ideal breeding ground.The toll was profound and unrelenting. Families were shattered, lives extinguished, and a pall of despair enveloped the Athenian skyline. In an era accustomed to tales of valour and intellectual brilliance, this unseen assailant showcased the fragility of human existence. It was a stern reminder of the limits of human resilience against the inexorable forces of nature.Within this cauldron of conflict and contagion, the second year of the war transcended its militaristic boundaries. It was a juncture where the will of cities clashed with nature's indiscriminate wrath. The plague, an unexpected interloper, reshaped Athens' narrative. As the war's tempest raged on, Athens wrestled not just with rival armies, but also with an unrelenting force that rose above the clashing of swords – an enduring testament to the intricate interplay between human agency and the capriciousness of fate.Support the show

In this episode, Frauke sits down with photographer and food writer Saghar Setareh to discuss her newly released cookbook Pomegranates & Artichokes: A Food Journey From Iran To Italy. Saghar shares scent memories from her homeland Iran, as well as those of her adopted home of Italy. She tells the eggplant story which details the many parallels that link Middle Eastern and Mediterranean food cultures. Saghar explains how food expresses culture, history, and economy through the examples of rice and olive oil. She reveals the meaning of her expression "the lantern and the mirror" which made her more curious about food and allowed her to then more deeply appreciate the food she grew up with. They discuss how food lets you connect with your homeland, while also allowing you to learn about new cultures never visited. Saghar then shares some of her favorite recipes in the book, which will undoubtedly leave you incredibly hungry and eager to make immediately. This is an aromatic conversation you don't want to miss!

On my second trip to Greece, I set out to do one thing: avoid the Summer crowds! While I spent most of my time out in the Mediterranean on the islands of Santorini and Anafi, I also visited Athens and was able to visit almost all of the big sites in just 6 hours!! So whether you need help planning a long layover, or want to know how I avoided the crazy cruise ship crowds on the islands, take a listen!

James 4:13-14 James' readers would have immediately understood his description of the eager business person. At the time, markets were opening up all around the Mediterranean and Middle Eastern countries. There were endless opportunities to set up new businesses and James isn't objecting either to business or the making of profit. His problem was that individuals had forgotten how temporary their life was. They were acting as if they were in full control of the future, and they weren't. These verses remind us of Jesus' parable about the rich man whose farm was doing so well that he needed to build bigger barns. The man smugly concluded that he could now sit back and say to himself: “My friend, you have enough stored away for years to come. Now take it easy! Eat, drink and be merry!” But God called him a fool because he hadn't taken into account that he could die that very night (see Luke 12:19-20). God doesn't want us to live in a state of daily anxiety because of the fragility and brevity of life. His desire is simply that we recognise that our lives are in his hands. The apostle Paul was acutely aware of this. When writing to the Corinthian Church, he expressed his desire to spend the winter with them. He was clearly weighing up his plans and commented: “This time I don't want to make just a short visit and then go right on. I want to come and stay a while, if the Lord will let me” (1 Corinthians 16:7). I love this insight into Paul's ministry. He was eager to plan well, but aware that it was all in the Lord's hands. I encourage you to make good plans for your life - but also make sure that you place them in the hands of God. QUESTION Have you placed your life plans in God's hands? PRAYER Lord God, help me to use every day of my life to serve you. Amen

When you think of inventions that helped change the course of history, it's doubtful Olive Oil makes the list. Originating thousands of years ago in the Mediterranean or further east - it's now probably in your kitchen cupboards, or donning the shelves of supermarkets. But how did Olive Oil come to be, and how did the processes behind making it help advance numerous civilisations?In this episode Tristan welcomes Curator of the British Museum's Ancient Levant and Anatolia department, Jamie Fraser, to talk about his work in Jordan and the incredible archaeological discoveries he and his team found. Looking at early Olive Oil production presses, monumental archaeology discoveries, and the impact this had on ancient civilisations - what can we learn about the origins of Olive Oil, and why is it so important in ancient history?Discover the past on History Hit with ad-free original podcasts and documentaries released weekly presented by world renowned historians like Dan Snow, Suzannah Lipscomb, Lucy Worsley, Matt Lewis, Tristan Hughes and more.

Matt reviews his seven-night Mediterranean cruise on MSC Seaview that sailed roundtrip from Barcalona, Spain, over Memorial Day weekend. 

Lath Carlson is the Executive Director of the Museum of the Future in Dubai. The Museum of the Future is dedicated to telling stories about how humans might adapt to current global crises. Right now, the climate crisis is the most pressing issue. For example, the main story takes people on a journey to 2071, where they experience a world where people have adapted to climate change by collecting solar energy from the moon and beaming it back to earth, giving clean energy to the majority of the world. In order to ensure the science behind these ideas, the museum worked with collaborators from around the world who vetted the science, including people at NASA and at the European Space Agency. Recently, Stanford University proved that this technology wasn't just something created by a museum, it was actually possible. The Museum of the Future opened its doors in 2022 and since then over 20 world leaders have visited. Lath says that this is important because climate change is an issue that requires international collaboration. These leaders are among the ones in a position to make changes that will positively impact their countries. Because climate change is an issue that requires large-scale structural changes, the best thing individuals can do is lobby their governments for change. Lath goes on to say that the best hope we have for addressing some of these complex challenges is more Indigenous knowledge than scientific understanding because scientific understanding and reductionist understanding is, in a lot of ways, what got us to where we are today.   In this Chatter Marks series, Cody and co-host Dr. Sandro Debono talk to museum directors and knowledge holders about what museums around the world are doing to adapt and react to climate change. Dr. Debono is a museum thinker from the Mediterranean island of Malta. He works with museums to help them strategize around possible futures.

Two of the top diets for high blood pressure are reviewed. Is the DASH diet or Mediterranean diet more effective?   Dr. Neal Barnard discusses the findings of a study that examined the two widely prescribed diets. The results are surprising given that the higher fat diet actually fared better. However, many questions remain, including whether there is another diet that is even more effective and whether salt is the single most important factor for hypertension.   Dr. Barnard share his hypothesis with “The Weight Loss Champion” Chuck Carroll on The Exam Room LIVE.   Topic Discussed - Best diet for high blood pressure - Genetics and blood pressure - DASH diet basics - Mediterranean diet basics - Best foods for lowering blood pressure - Does fat cause high blood pressure? - Can a vegan diet lower blood pressure? - And more   This episode of The Exam Room™ Podcast is sponsored by The Gregory J.

Robert and Marshall discuss his conceptualization of the "Greater Middle East," stretching from the Mediterranean to China, the case for "realism" when approaching the challenges and opportunities of the region, the tension between stability and anarchy, and the best and worst cases for foreign policy over the next decade. Robert also covers his previous work on the benefits of viewing recent geopolitical crises through the lens of ancient and modern tragedy.
