  Tarascan Empire - The Fierce...

  The Tarascan Empire flourished in the rugged and resource-rich region of western Mexico, primarily in what is now the state of Michoacán. Unlike the arid landscapes of central Mexico dominated by the Aztecs, the Tarascan homeland was defined by volcanic highlands, fertile valleys, and vast lakes, particularly Lake Pátzcuaro, which played a central role in their civilization. The geography of this region not only shaped their way of life but also provided a natural defense against external threats, including the expansionist ambitions of the Aztecs. 
  The varied landscape of Michoacán consisted of towering mountains, deep forests, and fertile plateaus. This diverse terrain allowed the Tarascans to develop a robust agricultural system, cultivating maize, beans, squash, and chili peppers, which formed the foundation of their diet. The presence of rivers and lakes further supported fishing and provided fresh water, making settlements around these water bodies highly strategic. Lake Pátzcuaro, in particular, was not only an economic and social hub but also held deep religious significance. It was believed to be the gateway to the underworld in Tarascan mythology, reinforcing its central role in spiritual life. 
  Natural resources played a crucial role in the rise of the Tarascan Empire. The region was rich in minerals, especially copper and obsidian, which were vital for both tools and weaponry. Unlike the Aztecs, whose military strength relied on wooden clubs and stone blades, the Tarascans developed advanced metalworking techniques, producing copper axes, bronze weapons, and intricate ornaments. This technological advantage gave them a distinct edge in warfare and trade, allowing them to maintain independence from their more dominant neighbors.

  I Never Did Like Politics - How...

  Fiorello LaGuardia was one of the twentieth century's most colorful politicians—on the New York and national stage. He was also quintessentially American: the son of Italian immigrants, who rose in society through sheer will and chutzpah. Almost one hundred years later, America is once again grappling with issues that would have been familiar to the Little Flower, as he was affectionately known. It's time to bring back LaGuardia, argues historian and journalist Terry Golway, to remind us all what an effective municipal officer (as he preferred to call himself) can achieve . . .  
   
   
   
  Golway examines LaGuardia's extraordinary career through four essential qualities: As a patriot, a dissenter, a leader, and a statesman. He needed them all when he stood against the nativism, religious and racial bigotry, and reactionary economic policies of the 1920s, and again when he faced the realities of Depression-era New York and the rise of fascism at home and abroad in the 1930s. Just before World War II, the Roosevelt administration formally apologized to the Nazis when LaGuardia referred to Hitler as a "brown-shirted fanatic." 
   
   
   
  There was nobody quite like Fiorello LaGuardia. In this immensely listenable book, as entertaining as the man himself, Terry Golway captures the enduring appeal of one of America's greatest leaders.

  Ancient Egyptians’ Diet The: The...

  Perhaps the most intriguing aspect of ancient Egyptian civilization was its inception from the ground up, as the Egyptians themselves had no prior civilization which they could use as a template. In fact, Egypt itself became a template for the civilizations that followed. The Greeks and the Romans were so impressed with Egyptian culture that they often attributed many aspects of their own culture to the Egyptians. With that said, some minor elements of ancient Egyptian culture were, indeed, passed on to later civilizations. Egyptian statuary appears to have had an initial influence on the Greek version, and the ancient Egyptian language continued long after the pharaonic period in the form of the Coptic language.  
  	Despite the strides made in understanding Egyptian history, there are obvious difficulties in assessing what ancient societies ate and drank, even as advances in technology continue to open up new methods of analysis for food deposits in human remains and archaeological sites. In general, the majority of what ancient individuals ate did not last long, and in the case of ancient Egypt, there is an even greater additional time factor. Ancient Egyptian civilization lasted over 3,000 years, a time period that if applied to Europe encompasses the time before Rome was even founded right up to the present day. Within such a lengthy period a great deal happens in any society, and in Egypt, numerous dynasties came and went, with constant invasions both by Egyptians into nearby regions and back into Egypt by neighboring civilizations. All of these different groups presumably had their own preferences for food and drink. Population migrations, especially the ones led by the Sea Peoples into the region around 1250 BCE, combined with other factors such as climate to impact the food and drink consumed by Egyptians.
