Sinossi

Harvest Moon Ceremonies explores the near-universal human tradition of autumn harvest festivals, examining their deep historical and anthropological roots across diverse cultures. The book shows how agriculture has shaped cultural identity and how ritualistic practices have evolved alongside the harvest cycle. These celebrations aren't just about food; they reflect our relationship with nature and influence belief systems. The book argues that these festivals share a common structure: acknowledging nature's bounty, expressing gratitude, and ensuring future prosperity.

 
Through case studies from ancient Mesopotamia to the pre-Columbian Americas, the book reconstructs the practices and beliefs associated with harvest time. By drawing on historical texts, archaeological findings, and ethnographic studies, the book offers a comparative look at these traditions. Progressing across chapters, the book first establishes a framework for understanding agricultural mythology and ritual. Then, it delves into specific harvest festivals from various cultures. Finally, it synthesizes these case studies to reveal universal themes and the modern relevance of these ancient ceremonies, demonstrating their continued impact on cultural identity and environmental awareness.

The American Operations in WW2:...

History U.S. Army Center of...

World War II was the largest and most violent armed conflict in the history of mankind. Highly relevant today, World War II has much to teach us, not only about the profession of arms, but also about military preparedness, global strategy, and combined operations in the coalition war against fascism. This book follows military operations of the US Army in Normandy from 6 June to 24 July 1944. 
A great invasion force stood off the Normandy coast of France as dawn broke on 6 June 1944: 9 battleships, 23 cruisers, 104 destroyers, and 71 large landing craft of various descriptions as well as troop transports, minesweepers, and merchantmen—in all, nearly 5,000 ships of every type. The naval bombardment that began at 0550 that morning detonated large minefields along the shoreline and destroyed a number of the enemy's defensive positions. To one correspondent, reporting from the deck of the cruiser HMS Hillary, it sounded like "the rhythmic beating of a gigantic drum" all along the coast. In the hours following the bombardment, more than 100,000 fighting men swept ashore to begin one of the epic assaults of history, a "mighty endeavor," as President Franklin D. Roosevelt described it to the American people, "to preserve . . . our civilization and to set free a suffering humanity."
The attack had been long in coming. From the moment British forces had been forced to withdraw from France in 1940 in the face of an overwhelming German onslaught, planners had plotted a return to the Continent. Only in that way would the Allies be able to confront the enemy's power on the ground, liberate northwestern Europe, and put an end to the Nazi regime...
