Sinopse

"Rope Bridges" explores the history, technology, and cultural significance of rope bridges, from their ancient origins to modern applications. These remarkable structures, often built by civilizations like the Inca Empire and communities in the Himalayas, showcase ingenious engineering using materials like ichu grass to overcome geographical barriers. One intriguing fact is that the principles of tensile strength and load distribution, honed through centuries of rope bridge construction, still influence modern suspension bridge design. The book uniquely bridges historical accounts with modern engineering, demonstrating how ancient knowledge informs contemporary innovations. It progresses by first introducing the history and geographical distribution of rope bridges, then delves into the engineering principles at play, and finally examines modern applications, including disaster relief efforts. This approach provides a multifaceted understanding of rope bridge technology and its lasting impact.

    In Unit 1 you will hear Norwegian decoded with each syllable spoken very slowly and clearly with repetition. Immediately before each sentence is spoken, you will hear the translation, so you will always understand what is being said. 
    Unit 2 focuses solely on increasing your listening ability, which will improve your abilities to engage in dialogue with a native Norwegian speaker. This chapter requires you to listen very carefully to nuances in the language. 
    By Unit 3 you will already notice progress in your abilities to speak and understand Norwegian. The spoken translation is followed by two repetitions in Norwegian at a completely natural speed. While you are learning to process naturally spoken Norwegian, Units 3 and 4 will help you memorise new vocabulary and full sentences. 
    In Unit 5 you can test yourself on how much you have learned. If you are having difficulties, we suggest you revisit the listening, speaking, or memorisation section of Units 1, 2 3 or 4, according to what you need more help with.

    Rome's Greatest Generals -...

    The rise of the Roman general was a gradual yet transformative process that shaped the very foundation of Rome’s military might. In the early days of the Roman Republic, military leadership was closely intertwined with social status and political influence. Unlike later periods where generals held almost absolute power, early Roman commanders were often aristocrats or elected officials whose primary duties lay not only in warfare but also in governance and civil administration. 
    One of the pivotal aspects that shaped the rise of the Roman general was the evolution of military traditions. Initially, Rome’s military structure was heavily influenced by the Etruscans and other neighboring cultures. Early Roman armies were comprised of citizen-soldiers who fought primarily to protect their homeland rather than for conquest. Generals were typically chosen from the patrician class, and their leadership was seen as both a duty and an honor. As Rome expanded, the need for a more organized and strategic military became apparent, leading to the emergence of commanders who were not just noblemen but skilled tacticians. 
    The social and political influences on the role of the general were significant. During the Republic, the Senate played a crucial role in appointing generals, often selecting consuls or appointed military tribunes. These leaders were expected to exemplify Roman virtues such as bravery, discipline, and piety. The successes of early generals not only brought personal glory but also bolstered their political careers. Victorious commanders could parlay their military achievements into political power, as evidenced by figures like Scipio Africanus, who leveraged his triumphs against Carthage to gain influence within the Senate.

    Did you know that Lusius Quietus, for whom the Kitos War was named, was one of only a few African commanders to attain the rank of senator for his services in the Roman army? 
    Lusius Quietus was the military commander responsible for helping quell one of the biggest rebellions in Roman history. The conflict was named the Kitos War, but how much do we know about it? 
    The topic itself, much like other major Jewish revolts against Rome, is difficult to discuss due to the scarcity of historical evidence. But in this handy tome, you’ll learn some of the basics of the Kitos War. We have included facts and hypotheses constructed from available historical data found in scrolls, inscriptions, statues, and archaeological findings. 
    In this audiobook, you’ll learn the potential true nature of the conflict, one of the few rebellions that sprawled across three continents and still had the character of a nationalistic, populist revolution, a rarity in the ancient world. You will also see both the Jews and the Romans in a new light. 
    Aside from that, you’ll also learn the answers to the following questions:What were some of the short-term and long-term causes of the revolt?What were the relations between Jews and other people groups in both Judea and the Diaspora?How did the Romans treat the Jews?How did events from the First Jewish Revolt possibly affect the anti-Roman sentiment among the Jews?Was the revolt a result of a coordinated attack or simply a string of multiple coinciding rebellions?Did Emperors Trajan and Hadrian play a major role in the Jewish revolts?What was the economic impact of the fighting?How did the outcome of the war affect the surviving Jews in the empire?And so much more!

    Gerri was only a young girl when she was first abused by her father. After her mother found out, and believing there was nothing she could do to help her child, nor deal with the stigma attached to it in their small Northern Irish town in the 1960s, she committed suicide. 
     
     
     
    Gerri and her siblings were split up and placed in different foster homes, all knowing they were unlikely to see each other ever again. Told that her mother had committed a grave sin, Gerri was completely alone and abandoned as she confronted even more horrors from her past. 
     
     
     
    After years of shame and isolation, she finally met a man who would help her heal the wounds she had been left with. With his love and support, Gerri decided it was time for her story to be told. 
     
     
     
    Why, Father? is her true and moving story of survival.
