Beschreibung

"Rise of the Maya" explores the captivating history of this ancient Mesoamerican civilization, examining their remarkable achievements in mathematics, astronomy, art, and architecture while also investigating the factors that contributed to their decline. The book delves into the Maya culture, focusing on their intricate social hierarchy, sophisticated political systems, and complex religious beliefs. Understanding the Maya civilization's trajectory offers insights into the cyclical nature of civilizations and the challenges of sustainable development, making their story profoundly relevant to contemporary concerns. One intriguing fact is the Maya's development of a sophisticated calendar system, showcasing their profound understanding of time and celestial cycles. The book progresses chronologically, starting with the origins and cultural development of the Maya, moving through the Classic Period—the zenith of their civilization marked by city-state rivalries like those between Tikal, Calakmul, and Palenque—and concluding with an analysis of the Post-Classic decline.  It emphasizes that the "Maya collapse" was not a simple event but a complex transformation influenced by environmental degradation, unsustainable practices, internal conflicts, and external pressures. This book provides a nuanced perspective, integrating archaeological findings with insights from climatology, ecology, and political science to provide a balanced view of the Maya civilization's trajectory.

    F. Scott Fitzgerald once said: »Show me a hero, and I'll write you a tragedy.« In the 1990s, nobody fell deeper than O.J. Simpson. Once considered a national treasure, the athlete was accused of brutally slaying his ex-wife Nicole Brown and her friend Ronald Goldman on June 12, 1994. Within days, the media and public developed an unprecedented obsession with the story, turning a murder investigation and trial into a sensationalized reality show. Tatjana Neubauer examines the mediatization, deliberate manipulation, and the simplification of popular criminal trials for profit on television. She demonstrates that TV conflated legal proceedings into entertainment programming by commodifying events, people, and places.

    When writers write, they are getting in touch with the image of God in them. This is true in some way of all artistry, but writers especially create worlds, characters, histories, and transformation--all ex nihilo ("out of nothing"). 
    In The Storied Life, veteran author Jared C. Wilson explores the ins and outs of writers and writing, exploring the myriad ways the craft is more about transformation than simply communication. From decades of experience and with his signature wit, Wilson brings well-earned insight, autobiographical reflections, and meaningful meditations to the topic of writing as a way of life and as a way of worship, showing how the concept of Story--our personal stories and God's grand story of redemption--shapes fiction and non-fiction writers alike. 
    Chapters focus on topics like:The liturgy of story.Writing as a spiritual act.Perseverance and endurance.Writing as a calling.Promotion, publishing, and platform. 
      
    Whether you're a long-time writer or a beginning author, a daily journaler or an occasional dabbler, The Storied Life will help you improve your craft. It will lead you to think more deeply about the disciplines and dispositions needed to write for transformation.
