Beschreibung

Easter Island Statues explores the compelling history of the moai, the iconic stone statues of Rapa Nui. It delves into how this isolated Polynesian culture managed to carve, transport, and erect these monumental structures, some weighing over 80 tons, without modern technology. 

 
The book examines the quarrying process at Rano Raraku, the transportation methods across the island's varied terrain, and the techniques used to raise the moai onto their ahu. The approach emphasizes that the creation of the moai was deeply intertwined with Rapa Nui's social organization and belief systems.

 
It challenges older theories focusing on resource depletion by presenting sustainable and collaborative practices employed by the islanders. The book progresses from introducing the moai and their construction to exploring transportation theories and the eventual decline of statue construction, reassessing Rapa Nui history through archaeological evidence and historical accounts.

    Over 125 years after her introduction, the Wicked Witch of the West remains an icon of popular culture. Known by many names, she consistently defies expectations and wields her power unapologetically. At the heart of her everlasting appeal is her embodiment of feminist ideals that resonate today. 
     
     
     
    In The Wicked Witch of the West: The Enduring Legacy of a Feminist Icon, Lona Bailey explores the radical feministic undertones of one of the most enduring characters in popular culture. This book traces her transformation over the past century, highlighting how she has evolved through countless adaptations from The Wizard of Oz to the film adaptation of Wicked while maintaining her core identity as a powerful, defiant figure. 
     
     
     
    To understand why the Witch remains captivating more than a century after her creation, Bailey delves into the radical feminism underlying her character and examines how she has been reinterpreted since her debut. From the suffrage movement to the fight for reproductive rights, and from the #MeToo movement to ongoing battles against gender stereotypes, the Witch symbolizes the struggles and triumphs women face. By exploring the Witch's feminist evolution, listeners will gain insight into why her character continues to resonate with generations of women.

    By the mid-15th century, the Byzantine Empire had collapsed and the various Crusades that had taken place in the region had largely disrupted the overland routes of the Silk Road and trade. Compounding the difficulties of trade was the rise of the Ottoman Empire in place of the Byzantines and the outbreak of the Black Death in Europe.  
    It was roughly around this time that a period of European exploration began, and major factors that contributed to this period of exploration were introduced by the Chinese, albeit indirectly. The magnetic compass had already been developed and used by the Chinese sailors since the 12th century, although it had first been created in the 3rd century BCE as a divination device. The Portuguese started exploring the west coast of Africa and the Atlantic under orders from Prince Henry the Navigator. At this point, Europeans had not yet been capable of navigating completely around Africa since the ships being built were not yet fully capable of being able to sail very far from the coast and navigation in open waters was difficult, but the Portuguese continued pushing down the western African coast looking for ways to bypass the Ottomans and Muslims of Africa who had been making overland trade routes difficult.  
    	In 1488, Bartholomew Diaz rounded the southern tip of Africa, named the Cape of Good Hope by King John of Portugal, and entered the Indian Ocean from the Atlantic. 	The Portuguese had found access to the trade regions that they had been searching for, but sailing from Portugal to India and beyond would require too many resources to travel with at once. To remedy this problem, Portugal began establishing a number of forts and trading posts along the route. The Portuguese were able to establish a fort on the west coast of India, Fort Manuel, in 1500, and in 1505 a fort was erected off the coast of Tanzania.

    A book of hope, of discovery, of love. 
    We all want connection; we all want to feel love. 
    In a desperation to find my ideal version of love, or what I thought it ‘should’ look like, I lost myself for a while there. 
    I became addicted to anxiety; this was my way out. My safety net! Sounds crazy, but true. After quite a journey I started to understand what I was doing, looking for a perfect love in all the wrong places! Discoveries surfacing through writing and meditation. A new mindful way of living, things started to become a little clearer. My days became a little less fearful and my life a little brighter. My faith and connection with love restored. I share with you in this book, what helped me, the magic of feeling love and understanding, that this won’t or can’t look the same to us all. Showing up everyday and trusting what you know holds so much value. 
    Don’t try and change who you are, try and find who you are instead. 
    When anxiety became present with my youngest daughter, I knew I needed to find the tools for her and also myself to be able to deal with our anxiety and create a safe space for us both and not let the anxiety rule our daily lives. 
    We began doing breathing techniques, including the 4-7-8 breathing method, which is one we really enjoy together, you will find this technique in the book and so much more. I hope you enjoy reading it and if you do, please let me know whet you think. 
    There are so many ways to work with me, check out the back of the book or visit my website 'ROOM 478'
