The book, structured as a playful commentary, employs puns, caricatures, and witty illustrations to make the complexities of Roman society accessible and entertaining.

    As the global population continues to urbanize at an unprecedented rate, the health challenges faced by city dwellers are becoming increasingly important. Over half of the world’s population now resides in urban areas, and this figure is expected to rise sharply in the coming decades. While cities offer a multitude of opportunities for economic, social, and cultural growth, they also pose unique risks to the health and well-being of their inhabitants. The concentration of people, industries, and infrastructure in urban spaces brings forth a complex array of health issues, from air and water pollution to mental health challenges and inadequate healthcare access. Understanding and addressing these issues is crucial for creating cities that foster not only economic prosperity but also the physical and mental well-being of their populations. 
    Urban health problems are often exacerbated by rapid and unplanned growth. In many cities, particularly in low- and middle-income countries, the urbanization process is marked by overcrowded living conditions, poor sanitation, and a lack of adequate healthcare facilities. Urban air pollution, largely driven by traffic and industrial emissions, is a significant contributor to respiratory diseases, cardiovascular problems, and premature deaths. Meanwhile, the noise and stress associated with city living have been linked to mental health issues such as anxiety, depression, and sleep disorders. These environmental factors, combined with limited access to green spaces and recreational areas, create a challenging backdrop for promoting public health in cities. 
    In addition to environmental hazards, urban health is also shaped by social determinants. Disparities in healthcare access, education, income, and living conditions often result in health inequities, particularly among marginalized populations. The urban poor, for instance, are more likely to suffer from chronic diseases and lack proper healthcare resources.

    More than 2,400 years ago, Indian merchants traveling along the Silk Road introduced the world to an aromatic rice dish that would later become the Persian staple, pilaf. A couple of millennia down the line, the Mughals brought the dish back to the subcontinent and turned it into biryani. Meanwhile in the East, the Portuguese were busy inventing the evergreen Bengali icon, the rosogulla. Between biryani and rosogulla, is a fascinating story of how foreign foods came to conquer India.

    Andrew Jackson's rise to prominence began in the backwoods of the Carolinas, where he was born in 1767 to Irish immigrant parents. Orphaned at a young age and shaped by the violence of the Revolutionary War, Jackson's early years were filled with hardship and struggle. These formative experiences instilled in him a fierce independence and an unwavering sense of personal honor, traits that would define his character for the rest of his life. Largely self-taught and known for his fiery temper, Jackson developed a reputation for toughness, earning the nickname “Old Hickory” from soldiers who served under him. Despite limited formal education, he pursued a career in law and eventually moved westward to Tennessee, where he would find opportunity and recognition. 
    Jackson's military career was the first major platform that launched him into the national spotlight. During the War of 1812, he was appointed a general in the U.S. Army and quickly demonstrated his capabilities as a leader. His most celebrated moment came at the Battle of New Orleans in January 1815. Although the battle technically took place after the war had officially ended with the signing of the Treaty of Ghent, news had not yet reached American forces. Jackson’s troops, composed of militia, freedmen, Native Americans, and even pirates, faced a professional British army. Against the odds, they achieved a decisive victory, inflicting heavy casualties while suffering minimal losses. This triumph turned Jackson into a national hero and a symbol of American resilience and patriotism. The victory solidified his image as a man of action who could defend the country against foreign threats.
