Sinossi

"Ancient World Lore" presents a groundbreaking exploration of forgotten civilizations, challenging traditional views about the sophistication and interconnectedness of ancient societies. The book weaves together archaeological evidence, historical records, and cutting-edge scientific research to reveal how early human innovations continue to influence our modern world.

 
Through a carefully structured narrative, it demonstrates that ancient civilizations were far more technologically advanced and interconnected than previously believed, with innovations spreading rapidly across vast networks of trade and cultural exchange. The text illuminates three fundamental themes: the emergence of early urban centers, the evolution of technological capabilities, and the extensive trade networks that facilitated cultural exchange.

 
Drawing from interdisciplinary sources, including archaeogenetics and paleoclimatology, the book presents fascinating insights into how ancient societies from Mesopotamia to the Indus Valley developed sophisticated solutions to universal challenges. For instance, recent archaeological discoveries have revealed advanced metallurgy techniques and architectural innovations that predate conventional historical timelines.

 
Progressing from a methodological framework through specific case studies to modern applications, the book demonstrates how ancient solutions can inform contemporary challenges such as sustainable urban planning and resource management. The work's unique value lies in its integration of traditional historical analysis with modern scientific methods, making complex historical concepts accessible while maintaining scholarly rigor.

 
This approach provides readers with a comprehensive understanding of how ancient societies functioned and evolved, spanning from 10,000 BCE to 500 CE, while acknowledging ongoing debates and new discoveries in the field.

    A dramatic narration of the great Sanskrit epic in fluid prose that enables those new to the text to easily assimilate its profound messages, while enjoying its vivid stories of gods, saints, sages, and ancient kings. In this volume, we see how Krishna saves his devotee from degradation. Beginning with the famous story of Ajamila, the brahmin who fell from an exalted position to become a ruthless robber and cheat, only to be miraculously redeemed at the very moment of death. Then we hear how Indra, king of the gods, insulted his guru and, as a result, was overpowered by the demonic races, led by Vritra, a supernatural colossus conjured for the god’s destruction. The twist in this tale is that the demon was a great saintly devotee of Krishna. Finally, we hear how Diti, mother of the demons, gains her salvation. Through all these narrations, we see how, no matter how fallen you are, if you have any divine service to your credit, Krishna will find a way to save you.

    Professor. Pundit. Public nuisance. In his columns, books and on social media, Jonathan Jansen is prolific, and he likes to speak his mind about schools and universities, race, politics and our complex South African society. 
  
He has brought incisive analysis, compassion and a sense of humour to some of the most controversial issues in our country for many years. And now, in this memoir, Jansen goes back to his early years: growing up in a loving, fiercely evangelical family on the Cape Flats, being put on the road to purpose by an inspiring school teacher and becoming the first of his generation to go to university. Journey with Jansen as he finds his passion for teaching high school and becomes a leading academic and thinker amid great transformation in post-apartheid South Africa. 
  
His gift for story-telling and his interactions with people from different walks of life offer moving insights into the intricacies of South African society, insights that are filled with wisdom and leadership lessons. Jansen’s patchwork of memories tells a bigger story than that of his own life. It’s a tale of learning the value of ‘breaking bread’ with others, of finding mutual recognition in our different fears and faiths, our fumbles and fortitude, our hurts and our hopes.

    A NEW EDITION OF ONE OF THE MOST CELEBRATED BOOKS ON THE TROUBLES
Branded as 'Bandit Country' by the British government, South Armagh was the heartland of the Provisional IRA. It was the rebel Irish stronghold where Thomas 'Slab' Murphy reigned supreme, bomb attacks on England were planned and the SAS tracked the IRA snipers who hunted British soldiers.
In this acclaimed and remarkable book – originally published in 1999 – Toby Harnden, winner of the Orwell Prize, brings to bear his skills as a fearless journalist, inspired investigator and gifted historian, threatened with imprisonment for protecting his sources in Northern Ireland but undeterred. He draws on secret documents and unsparing interviews with key protagonists on both sides to produce perhaps the most compelling and essential account of the IRA and the Troubles.
