Synopsis

Knowledge Preservation explores the complex journey of historical documents through time, revealing how their preservation, loss, and rediscovery shape our understanding of world history. The book highlights the precarious nature of ancient texts and manuscripts, emphasizing that the survival of historical sources is not accidental but a result of deliberate actions and socio-political forces.

 
Discover how ancient libraries and monastic scriptoria actively worked to safeguard knowledge. The book also investigates the impact of events like war and the transformative power of technology, such as the printing press, on preserving historical records.

 
The narrative progresses systematically, examining preservation techniques across different cultures and periods. Each chapter builds upon the previous one, providing a comprehensive view of cultural heritage management.

 
By delving into case studies and drawing on archaeological findings, textual analysis, and historical accounts, Knowledge Preservation highlights the ethical responsibilities of historians and archivists. It also demonstrates how the gaps in our historical record challenge us to constantly reevaluate our understanding of the past.

I was looking for a book to recommend to parents of children I assess and teach. I wasn't expecting to learn much from the book because I'm a specialist in this field. I was wrong! Beth presents interesting statistics about dyslexia and how it can impact people in society. She explores different ways you can explain dyslexia to anyone of any age using the octopus theory! I highly recommend this book to parents, teachers, specialists and anyone who would like to educate themselves about dyslexia!"

I read articles, research papers and other books, but none have really explained to me so well the many "whys?" and what I need to know about my child." Amazon review.

    The next-true life NCIS story from New York Times bestselling authors Mark Harmon and Leon Carroll, Jr.  
    Read by the author. 
    Panama, 1989. The once warm relationship between United States and Gen. Manuel Noriega has eroded dangerously. Newly elected President George Bush has declared the strongman a drug trafficker and a rigger of elections. Intimidation on the streets is a daily reality for U.S. personnel and their families. The nation is a powder keg.  
    Naval Investigative Service (NIS) Special Agent Rick Yell has worked the job in Panama since 1986, and lives there with his wife Annya and infant child. Like most NIS agents, he’s a civilian with no military rank with a specialty in working criminal cases. The dynamic changes suddenly when Yell inadvertently develops an intelligence source with unparalleled access to the Noriega regime. Now the agent is thrust into a world of spy-versus-spy, of secret meetings and hidden documents.  
    Yell’s source – known as “The Old Man” – warns when Cuban military personnel arrive and identifies anti-American officers within the Panamanian Defense Forces, provides information about an imprisoned CIA asset and helps track Noriega’s movements, agitating for the dictator’s kidnapping. The reports created by Yell and his NIS colleagues shape the decisions made in Washington D.C., CIA headquarters in Langley and the innermost sanctums of Pentagon. 
    The powder keg is lit on December 16, 1989, when a young U.S. Marine is gunned down at a checkpoint in Panama City. Yell and his cadre of trusted agents deploy immediately to investigate the killing, and what they determine will decide the fate of two nations. When President Bush hears the details they uncover, he orders an invasion that puts Yell’s family, informants and fellow agents directly in harm’s way.    
    Using a blend of research and interviews with the NIS agents who were directly involved, Ghosts of Panama reveals the untold, clandestine story of counterintelligence professionals placed in a pressure cooker assignment of historic proportions.

    An engaging work of cultural history that reveals the stories behind one of the world's most coveted and beloved ceramic. 
     
    When over seventy-five pieces of rare and intriguing seventeenth and eighteenth century Delftware are rediscovered in an historic Manhattan townhouse, decorative art advisor and writer Genevieve Wheeler Brown quickly recognizes that, together, these pieces tell an amazing story. What begins as a curatorial exercise quickly evolves not only into an exploration of this colorful, expressive, and sometimes even humorous decorative art, coveted for hundreds of years, but also an unexpected uncovering of forceful female lives yet untold.Connecting the accounts of women across centuries, Beyond Blue and White allows us to craft a more complete picture of female experience through the lens of material culture. Beyond Blue and White is a colorful celebration of an iconic decorative art and dynamic women living in extraordinary times. Wheeler-Brown's rich narrative encourages us to see beyond the dazzling cobalt glaze of Delftware to consider that these vessels are also our connection to a history with a fascinating group of women at its center.
