Sinopsis

Sumerian Innovations explores the groundbreaking achievements of Sumerian civilization in Mesopotamia, revealing its profound impact on world history. This book examines how the Sumerians, flourishing over 5,000 years ago, developed innovations that laid the foundation for many aspects of modern society. They were pioneers in writing, exemplified by cuneiform, and codified law, as seen in the Code of Ur-Nammu. Their advanced irrigation systems transformed agriculture, supporting population growth and urbanization.

 
The book begins by setting the stage, describing Sumerian society, their language, and the geographical context of Mesopotamia. Each chapter then delves into specific areas of innovation, such as the evolution of cuneiform writing, the development of early legal systems, and the construction of impressive ziggurats. It emphasizes the interconnectedness of these innovations, demonstrating how developments in writing facilitated legal codification and how agricultural surpluses supported urban growth.

 
Drawing from archaeological excavations, translations of ancient artifacts, and interdisciplinary approaches, Sumerian Innovations offers a clear and comprehensive overview of Sumerian achievements. It showcases how these innovations spread beyond Sumer, influencing subsequent civilizations and continuing to resonate today, making it a valuable resource for anyone interested in understanding the roots of our modern world.

    Breakups are the worst. On one scale devised by psychiatrists, only a spouse's death was ranked as more stressful than a marital split. Is there any treatment for a breakup? The ancient Roman poet Ovid thought so. Having become famous for teaching the art of seduction in The Art of Love, he then wrote Remedies for Love (Remedia Amoris), which presents thirty-eight frank and witty strategies for coping with unrequited love, falling out of love, ending a relationship, and healing a broken heart. How to Get Over a Breakup presents an unabashedly modern prose translation of Ovid's lighthearted and provocative work, complete with a lively introduction. 
     
     
     
    Ovid's advice—which he illustrates with ingenious interpretations of classical mythology—ranges from the practical, psychologically astute, and profound to the ironic, deliberately offensive, and bizarre. Some advice is conventional—such as staying busy, not spending time alone, and avoiding places associated with an ex. Some is off-color, such as having sex until you're sick of it. And some is simply and delightfully weird—such as becoming a lawyer and not eating arugula. 
     
     
     
    Whether his advice is good or bad, entertaining or outrageous, How to Get Over a Breakup reveals an Ovid who sounds startlingly modern.

    We all have moments, hours, days when our minds are stuck somewhere unpleasant that we can't get out of and it feels like we're living in a constant state of worry. We may be thinking about what is happening tomorrow or five minutes ago. We may wonder about things that happened in the past and regret them. As a result, we lose sight of what's happening now-now-now. And because we're so focused on our worries rather than the current moment, these anxious thoughts just continue to feed off each other as they go 'round and round in circles in our heads. 
    As a result, we may feel that our minds are always racing and it's impossible for us to slow them down. This takes us away from the present moment.

    Gentle and Fierce—Two Sides of Self-Compassion That We All Need Now   A vast body of research shows that the skill of self-compassion can deeply calm and heal us. But there's also a fierce "momma bear" side of self-compassion. And all of us—especially women—need it more than ever.   In the face of a threatening or unjust situation, have you ever kept silent because you didn't want to rock the boat or make things worse? And then, did you wonder: "Next time, how can I become stronger and more effective?"   That's the purpose of The Yin and Yang of Self-Compassion. Kristin Neff, PhD, created this inspiring audio program to help you understand and build the two complementary aspects of this crucial skill:  The receptive Yin side self-compassion—how to soothe and comfort yourself when you're in pain and rest in loving, connected presence when alone or with those you care about.  The active Yang side self-compassion—how to see the truth of a situation with courage, protect yourself, and stand strong with others in the face of hostility or harm.   In the years since Kristin Neff and her colleagues first identified the trait of self-compassion, we’ve learned that being kind to ourselves does not weaken us. In fact, just the opposite is true: it makes us more confident, grounded, and resilient amid crisis.   Through fascinating research, stories from Kristin's own experiences as a mother and scientist, and key guided practices, you'll learn how to cultivate the full spectrum of self-compassion—to support yourself and others when it matters the most.
