Sinopsis

Assyrian Cities explores how urban centers in the Assyrian Empire served as strategic tools for imperial power, cultural expression, and innovation. The book examines the architectural history of cities like Nineveh, Assur, and Nimrud, revealing advanced urban planning and construction techniques. These ancient Mesopotamian cities were not just residential areas; their design reflected a sophisticated understanding of irrigation, defense, and social hierarchy. The book argues that the layout and infrastructure of Assyrian cities directly supported the empire's centralized authority and expansionist goals. By studying palaces, temples, and administrative buildings, one gains insight into the empire's social order and governance. The book progresses thematically, first introducing the materials and techniques used in construction, then exploring the social and political dimensions of urban life, and finally analyzing the legacy of Assyrian urbanism on subsequent civilizations in the Ancient Near East.

    Muckraking journalist Walter Liggett dubbed Pittsburgh the "Metropolis of Corruption" in 1930 when he reported the city had more vice per square foot than New York, Detroit, Cleveland, or Boston. Decades earlier, the Magee-Flinn political machine ruled public officials, and crooked police helped racketeers protect brothels and gambling dens. Mayor (later Governor) David Lawrence was indicted several times for graft but acquitted each time. Even Pittsburgh Steelers founder Art Rooney Sr. colluded with gangsters, according to FBI reports.

    Drawing on unpublished letters and rare sources, this is the true story behind the tragic romance and brutal assassination that ignited World War I.In the summer of 1914, three great empires dominated Europe: Germany, Russia, and Austria-Hungary. Four years later all had vanished in the chaos of World War I. One event precipitated the conflict, and at its heart was a tragic love story. When Austrian heir Archduke Franz Ferdinand married for love against the wishes of the emperor, he and his wife Sophie were humiliated and shunned, yet they remained devoted to each other and to their children. The two bullets fired in Sarajevo not only ended their love story, but also led to war and a century of conflict.Set against a backdrop of glittering privilege, Greg King and Sue Woolmans's The Assassination of the Archduke combines royal history, touching romance, and political murder in a moving portrait of the end of an era. One hundred years after the event, it offers the startling truth behind the Sarajevo assassinations, including Serbian complicity and examines rumors of conspiracy and official negligence. Events in Sarajevo also doomed the couple's children to lives of loss, exile, and the horrors of Nazi concentration camps, their plight echoing the horrors unleashed by their parents' deaths.Challenging a century of myth, The Assassination of the Archduke resonates as a very human story of love destroyed by murder, revolution, and war.With a foreword by Princess Sophie von Hohenberg, great-granddaughter of Archduke Franz Ferdinand

    Radiolab invites you to join us on a scientific journey through the body. Our bodies are so complex that many processes can go unnoticed. In this audiobook, not only do we notice, but we explore how our anatomy has shaped the human experience. These five chapters explore your guts, private parts, womb, butt, and brain. We’ll hear stories from scientists, anthropologists, professors, doctors, mothers, fathers, and storytellers. We answer questions like what organ is a baby's best friend and the mother's worst nightmare, what is the evolutionary reason for our butts, and how does your brain know that you, are you?

    The ultimate collection of the most historic trees on the planet. 
    Uncover remarkable trees from around the world, many of which have borne witness to key moments in history or reached a scale and age that have allowed them to become a part of history themselves. 
    “[A] rich history … it contains some of the most extraordinary tales of trees through time” — The Sunday Post 
    First meet 'Methuselah’, a bristlecone pine in the White Mountains of New Hampshire, believed to be 4,900 years old. Learn about trees which have inspired great events, such as the Isaac Newton apple tree in Lincolnshire, where the famous scientist observed an apple falling from a tree (which still stands in the family garden). Other flora has withstood historic events such as in Japan, where the Hibaku jumoku still grows as a survivor tree from the Hiroshima bombing and the 9/11 Survivor Tree in New York City. 
    Many trees continue to inspire our world today including the long avenue of beech trees in Northern Ireland known as the Dark Hedges which Game of Thrones fans will instantly recognise as the road to Kings Landing, the Robin Hood’s oak in the Sherwood Forest or the J. R. R. Tolkien trees in Avebury, which inspired the Ents in The Lord of the Rings. 
    Rest a while beside the oldest trunks and witness the enthralling stories nestled within the branches of these gentle giants. 
    Rooted in non-fiction and historical storytelling, THE HISTORY TREES maps geography, nature, and plants into an unforgettable tapestry, supported by evocative photography. Its regional subjects and themes offer some of the best reasons to look at the world anew—especially for gardening enthusiasts who find meaning in every leaf and limb. 
    For fans of Carolyn Fry (Trees), Brian Clegg (Quantum Computing), Mary Roach (Gulp), Monica Gagliano (Memory and Learning in Plants), and Gene Stone (Animalkind).
