Summary

"Nile Civilization" explores the significant role the Nile River played in shaping ancient Egypt and Nubia. It examines how the river influenced crucial aspects of these societies, including agriculture and trade. The book highlights how predictable flooding enabled intensive agriculture, supporting dense populations, and how the Nile served as a vital trade route, connecting regions and fostering cultural exchange. Understanding the dynamics between the river and these civilizations offers insights into early state formation and the relationship between environment and human development.

 
The book delves into the construction of monumental architecture, like pyramids and temples, and the development of religious beliefs centered on the river. It uses archaeological evidence, such as ancient irrigation systems and artifacts, alongside textual sources like hieroglyphic inscriptions, to provide a comprehensive understanding.

 
The book progresses by first introducing the Nile's geography, then exploring agricultural techniques, trade networks, monumental construction, and religious evolution.

    True strength lies in the courage to be yourself and speak your truth. 
When Kath Essing recalled the sexual abuse from her childhood, her life turned upside-down. The secret had been hidden for decades, even from herself.  
After 23 years of navigating her own mental health issues, Kath was ready to face her greatest challenge and disclose the experiences of her childhood sexual abuse to police. 
The complicated history meant it wasn’t going to be easy to prove the historical sexual crimes; but this was more than seeking justice; it was about having the courage to speak up, finding the strength to heal, and shatter the silence that suffocated her. 
This intimate memoir invites the reader into the confronting world of childhood abuse, family dynamics, and the emotional and psychological aspects of surviving and recovering as an adult. Kath’s story inspires readers to reclaim their voice by remembering, recovering, and reportingthe experiences of childhood sexual abuse. 
The Courage to Speak Your Truth helps uplift survivors and enable them to transform their pain to purpose and change the conversation regarding childhood abuse. Kath advocates that together – with courage – survivors can shift the narrative of child abuse and dismantle the silence that maintains its cycle.

They are the most mysterious of beings. Gods, angels, aliens or ordinary men with incredible knowledge and wisdom. Nobody is sure. 
 
The culture of Mesopotamia is rich and complex. Historians have been slowly unravelling their secrets. From the Epic of Gilgamesh to the many references of them in other cultures, the mystery of the anunnaki is becoming more clear. 
 
To Western eyes their ways are strange. Over hundreds of years they have been called Gods and angels and now in our modern age many see them as aliens visiting earth and bringing great knowledge. 
 
The truth of their real origin and purpose is much more bizarre and amazing than anything previously believed. Prepare to witness the demystification of a sacred and ancient past. Prepare to see the anunnaki as they really were. And in so doing we will discover the truth about so many other things. From the Garden of Eden to the Great Flood; from the God of the Bible to the secrets of Enoch - all shall be revealed.

    The Black Sea - poems

    In this third collection of poems Papadopoulos addresses the historical subject of the Pontic Greek massacre in the 1920’s in a series of “sonnet-monologues” that link cinematically to create a very specific, semi-fictional account of a group of people living within this particular historic context.  His own  Greek family is of Pontic and Cretan origin, and he traveled the black sea extensively while writing these poems, but the abstracted landscapes and the slightly “grotesque” characters that inhabit these poems lead anyone, regardless of his/her knowledge of the region,  into a new and intimate relationship with this volatile and tragic story. 
"The Black Sea won’t be for everyone. The subject is unrelentingly dark, rarely leavened by humor, and the history involved is known to few Americans. But it is a superb book, ambitious without being verbose. His opening poem meditates on the role of the poet in history, and in this subject alone he has plenty of company among Greek writers like Cavafy and Ritsos. The texture of cultural allusion in some of these poems is quite rich, yet the book dispenses with footnotes and leaves us to find our own way. Most of the poems can be read as little dramas in which vital characters have everything at stake. "     David Mason, The Hudson Review

    Author and journalist Cody McDevitt tells the story of one of the worst civil rights injustices in Western Pennsylvania history. 
 
 
 
In 1923, in response to the fatal shooting of four policemen, the mayor of Johnstown ordered every African American and Mexican immigrant who had lived in the city for less than seven years to leave. They were given less than a day to move or would face crippling fines or jail time and were forced out at gunpoint. An estimated two thousand people uprooted their lives in response to the racist edict. Area Ku Klux Klan members celebrated the creation of a "sundown town" and increased their own intimidation practices. Figures such as Marcus Garvey spoke out in Pittsburgh against it as newspapers throughout the country published condemnations.
