Synopsis

Pigeon Facts reveals the surprising story of pigeons, creatures often overlooked despite their significant role in both science and history. Delving into their remarkable navigational abilities, the book highlights how pigeons utilize magnetoreception, potentially using the Earth's magnetic field to find their way home. The book emphasizes that pigeons are not just urban dwellers but complex organisms with innate capabilities and historical contributions worthy of attention.

 
The book explores pigeon biology, focusing on sensory systems and genetics, before examining the science of magnetoreception and various related theories. From their domestication to their use as messengers in wartime, and their contribution to early scientific experiments, the book emphasizes the pigeon's surprising impact on human affairs. The journey concludes by examining the pigeon's place in today's urban ecosystems.

 
Drawing from diverse sources, including scientific studies and historical records, the book presents an interdisciplinary view of pigeons. This approach is designed to be accessible to a broad audience interested in science, biology, and history, providing a deeper appreciation for these birds' complexity and contributions. It is important to remember that the book also acknowledges controversies, such as the impact of pigeons on agriculture.

    Learn more about the history of those countries. The topics addressed will be the following: 
    The Khmer Empire--Historians describe Cambodia as the Khmer State or the Angkorian Empire (Khmer:) from the 9th century to the 15th century, when it was a Hindu/Buddhist empire in Southeast Asia. The empire, which developed from the old societies of Funan and Chenla, governed and/or "vassalized" the majority of mainland Southeast Asia and parts of Southern China, covering from the suggestion of the Indochinese Peninsula northward to modern-day Yunnan province in China, and from Vietnam westward to Myanmar. The Khmer Empire was greater at its peak than the Byzantine Empire (Eastern Roman Empire) that existed at the exact same period. 
    The Siamese-- Siam was just a much different name for what's now referred to as Thailand. The Siamese are the people who live there, though they're never ever called as such any longer. 
    Thailand is a fascinating country, with its own culinary arts, culture, history, royalty, infrastructure, and influence on the world. To learn more about these “Thai” people before they were called Thai, when they were Siamese, is to learn about those people’s roots.

    In the over 100 years since it sank on its maiden voyage, the Titanic has been the subject of endless fascination, as evidenced by the efforts to find its final resting spot, the museums full of its objects, and the countless books, documentaries, and movies made about the doomed ocean liner. Thanks to the dramatization of the Titanic’s sinking and the undying interest in the story, millions of people are familiar with various aspects of the ship’s demise, and the nearly 1,500 people who died in the North Atlantic in the early morning hours of April 15, 1912. The sinking of the ship is still nearly as controversial now as it was over 100 years ago, and the drama is just as compelling.  
    	In the century since the Titanic sank, public interest in the ship and its history has waxed and waned on a regular basis. There was a flurry of activity right after it went down, as people tried to wrap their minds around what happened, but the World Wars pushed attention elsewhere. Then, during the 1950s, scientists had the time and money to become interested in it again. While there were numerous attempts to find that ship during the 1970s, the mighty ship still kept her secrets, her dead and their possessions safely at the bottom of the sea, where only strange creature comfortable in the depths could disturb them. 
    	As it turned out, the most famous wreck in the world would not be located until 1985, over 70 years after the ship sank that fateful April night. The discovery ignited a new flurry of interest in Titanic, including an interest in what the wreck still held, who those items belonged, to and what should be done with them. The 1997 blockbuster movie about the ship only stirred up more interest and controversy, both of which continue to this day.

    This bundle consists of 3 short books, which are about the following subjects: 
    Subject 1: Nineveh was an age-old Assyrian city in Upper Mesopotamia, near Mosul in modern-day northern Iraq. It was the capital and biggest city of the Neo-Assyrian Empire, and the world's biggest city for some decades, and is on the eastern bank of the Tigris River. It's now a prevalent name for the portion of Mosul that's on the Tigris' eastern bank, and it is also the name of the nation's Nineveh Governorate. 
    It was the world's largest city for about fifty years till it was sacked by a union of its previous subject tribes, including but not limited to the Babylonians, Medes, Persians, Scythians, and Cimmerians, in the year 612 BC, following a severe period of civil dispute in Assyria.  
    Subject 2: The term "Phoenicians" describes the people living in Phoenicia, a sometimes-forgotten civilization that was age-old and remarkable. Let's check out the tradition, the history, and the specifics of Phoenicia. 
    Phoenicia was a thalassocratic (a state with mostly maritime worlds) society that thrived in the eastern Mediterranean's Levant area, mainly in modern-day Lebanon. It was fixated the coast of Lebanon, with some seaside parts of modern-day Syria and Galilee included for good procedure, varying as far north as Arwad and as far south as Acre and perhaps Gaza. 
    Subject 3: At its peak, the Etruscan society of age-old Italy covered circa what's now Tuscany, western Umbria, and northern Lazio, and areas of what's now the Po Valley, Emilia-Romagna, south-eastern Lombardy, southern Veneto, and small parts of Campania. 
    The first proof of an Etruscan society might be traced back to around 900 BC.

    An incisive and inspiring call to look beyond capitalism to chart a road map for a planet ravaged by pandemics, climate crisis, and wars. 
     
     
     
    Prompted by trenchant questions by international solidarity organizer Frank Barat, renowned author and activist Vijay Prashad shows that the path toward hope and liberation lies in looking closely at myriad, under covered struggles being waged all across the world by workers in countries such as India, Kenya, Peru, Tunisia, and Argentina. A marvelously global but grassroots perspective. 
     
     
     
    Prashad also examines pressing topics such as debt cancellation, a wealth tax, austerity, the pandemic, the arms industry, the climate crisis, socialism, working-class social movements and much more.
