Beschreibung

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.

Jen began the search for answers, and found them . . . as well as stories from countless other families like her own.

    The Indianapolis - The Worst...

    The USS Indianapolis was a Portland-class heavy cruiser of the United States Navy, commissioned in 1932, and it played a vital role in the Pacific theater during World War II. Its most significant and tragic moment came in 1945, during its final mission. The ship was tasked with delivering critical components for the atomic bomb that would later be dropped on Hiroshima, Japan. This mission, which involved transporting the bomb's uranium core to the island of Tinian, was classified, and few knew about the importance of the cargo aboard the ship. 
    After successfully completing its mission and delivering the components to Tinian on July 26, 1945, the Indianapolis set sail for the Philippines, where it would rendezvous with other ships in the Pacific fleet. The ship’s captain, Charles B. McVay III, had orders to take the cruiser directly to its next destination, avoiding the traditional convoy routes to reduce the risk of submarine attack. With the war nearing its end and Japan’s defeat imminent, the ship's journey seemed routine, and there was little concern about the potential dangers ahead. The USS Indianapolis was an experienced and battle-tested ship, having served in key naval engagements throughout the war, including the Battle of Leyte Gulf and the Battle of the Philippine Sea. 
    However, the absence of a convoy left the Indianapolis vulnerable. On the night of July 29, 1945, while traveling through the Philippine Sea, the ship was struck by two torpedoes fired by the Japanese submarine I-58. The attack tore through the hull, causing devastating damage. Within minutes, the ship began to sink, and the crew was thrown into chaos. Many of the crew members perished instantly, while others scrambled into the water, trying to escape the fiery wreckage of the ship. The survivors faced an unimaginable nightmare as they found themselves stranded in the open ocean, with little hope of immediate rescue.

    Rooted in humorous stories distilled with bits of sagely honest advice, The Journey goes beyond the well-chronicled college admissions madness and cuts to the core of parental angst with concrete suggestions for preparing children for a competitive and rapidly changing world. 
     
    Young people face an increasing medley of challenges as they pursue higher education—rising tuition costs, daunting prospective student debt, and a talented and competitive applicant pool. After a decade of preparing students for the ever more difficult admissions process, college counselor Greg Kaplan wishes parents would stop thinking, “What should I do to get my kid into a good college?” and instead ask: “How can I best prepare my child for what comes next?” Having practiced law and worked in investment banking early in his career before pivoting to working with students, parents, and educators, Kaplan knows what the world—and its population of college admissions officers—is looking for in today’s youth and tomorrow's leaders: Grit. Leadership. Passion. 
     
    Emphasizing these fundamental tenets of successful adulthood, The Journey paints a realistic picture of the lack of preparedness among today's youth.  
     
    Using stories of parents and students who have struggled and succeeded, Kaplan pushes students to consider: What do you want to get out of your college and work career? How can you jumpstart your journey into the real world? He asks parents: Are you preparing your children to attain a life of health, happiness, and financial independence?
