Sinopsis

"Forbidden City" unveils the captivating history of China's imperial palace, the Palace Museum, exploring its role as the epicenter of power for over five centuries. More than just a collection of buildings, the Forbidden City embodies Chinese cosmology, social hierarchies, and artistic achievements. The book highlights the intricate lives within its walls, from emperors and concubines to eunuchs, revealing the complex power dynamics of Imperial China.

 
The book progresses through three sections, beginning with the foundational concepts of Chinese cosmology and imperial power, explaining how the palace's design embodies the emperor's mandate of heaven. It then ventures into the daily lives of the palace inhabitants, reconstructing their routines, rituals, and power dynamics. Finally, it examines the Forbidden City's transformation into a modern museum, providing insights into China's evolving relationship with its imperial past.

 
This book distinguishes itself by offering a comprehensive yet accessible exploration of the Forbidden City, moving beyond superficial descriptions to reveal the palace's deeper cultural and historical significance. Understanding the Forbidden City is essential for grasping the enduring legacy of imperial China and its continued influence on modern Chinese identity.

    God created us in his image. This places a great burden on each person to not break that image of God within us. God thinks in symbols and so do we. There is always punishment for broken symbolism. Questions considered are, what does God think about: Gender, marriage, sex, the Cross as broken, not fulfilled symbolism? Why did God punish Moses so harshly when he struck the Rock in the wilderness the second time? Why is God allowing seemingly innocent victims to die by random shooters? Why does God see the climate change movement as idolatry? Why did Satan devise homosexuality? Why did God assign the death penalty for male but not female homosexuality? Why is having multiple wives acceptable in the Old Testament, but not having multiple husbands? All these topics, and many others, have to do with symbolism and are explained by How God Thinks.

    This work may not be by Plato, or his entirely, but Jowett has offered his sublime translation, and seems to lean towards including it in the canon. Socrates tempted by irony to deflate the pretentious know-it-all Hippias, an arrogant polymath, appears to follow humour more than honour in this short dialogue. (Summary by Kevin Johnson)

    Welcome to the troubling age of sex-denialism—the age of gender-neutral labels, rigidly enforced equality, unisex spaces, and the systematic eradication of sexual difference. In her debut book, Sex Scandal, journalist Ashley McGuire investigates the alarming nationwide push to ignore the natural, biological distinctions between men and women that have been at the core of functioning human society since the dawn of time. McGuire reports shocking examples of progressive sex-denialism—from American schools, offices, bathrooms, and bedrooms—and reveals the most startling and alarming trend of all: that the frontline victims of our new “gender-neutral” world are young women and girls, the very people progressive activists claim to be championing.
