Sinossi

Lost Indigenous Cities unveils the remarkable, often overlooked, urban achievements of pre-Columbian America. Challenging traditional historical narratives, the book explores the sophisticated architectural ingenuity, intricate social structures, and sustainable practices of indigenous societies long before European contact. These cities demonstrate a high level of social organization, technological innovation, and environmental awareness. Discoveries reveal widespread urbanization, sophisticated infrastructure, and intricate social organization, exemplified by monumental architecture and innovative urban planning in places like Cahokia, Caral, and various Mayan centers.

 
The book progresses by first introducing indigenous urbanism and its challenge to traditional perspectives. It then details monumental architecture and urban planning, followed by examinations of social and political structures. Finally, the approach investigates sustainable practices.

 
By centering the narrative on indigenous achievements, Lost Indigenous Cities challenges Eurocentric biases, offering a comparative analysis of urban centers across different regions of the Americas to identify common themes and unique adaptations.

    Did you know that the Renaissance is thought of as the gateway to the modern world? 
    The Renaissance was only a short period in European history, but it was the revolution needed to move from the Middle Ages to the modern world. It was full of new philosophies and art, new architecture and inventions, and new governments and churches. In a short span of time, the Europeans found themselves creating, acting, and living in completely new ways. People now had access to new ideas, and Europe would never be the same again. 
    Where did all of this change come from? For years, people have studied parts of the Renaissance. They have focused on a philosopher or an artist. They have focused on church history or politics. But the Renaissance was more than just one person or movement, which is what made it so powerful. 
    It’s time to set sail back into history and learn about the many parts of the Renaissance. In this new and captivating history audiobook, you’ll learn what made the Renaissance so special and how it still influences us today. 
    Here are some of the questions you will find answers to within this audiobook:Why did humanism power the Renaissance?Did Machiavelli really believe what he wrote in The Prince?How did the Black Death help start the Renaissance?Who built the dome on the Florence Cathedral?Why did artists fight for patrons?How did Michelangelo paint the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel?

    Seeking Attention explores the essential but elusive nature of attention through a fresh lens. Drawing inspiration from Simone Weil's assertion that "attention is the rarest and purest form of generosity," this book brings attention into focus through a novel collection of short "portraits" that each examine how archetypal figures—like the detective, the fan, the therapist, the parent, and the lover—engage with attention in unique ways. 
     
     
     
    ● Accessible and Thought-Provoking: Written in an approachable style, this book offers an introduction to the growing field of attention studies, sparking new reflections on how we pay attention. 
     
     
     
    ● Diverse Archetypes: Each figure represents a different approach to attention—highlighting its blind spots, failures, and occasional triumphs—prompting listeners to reflect on their own habits. 
     
     
     
    ● A Phenomenology of Attention: Through these portraits, listeners are invited to rethink their understanding of attention, noticing how it shapes the world around them. 
     
     
     
    ● Addressing the "Industrial-Distraction Complex": Offering alternative models for true presence, Seeking Attention encourages multi-sensory awareness as a powerful counter to our age of distraction.

    A MOST ANTICIPATED BOOK OF 2023 by The Millions 
    ""A wonderfully fitting tribute to Joan Didion: one that avoids simple platitudes, approaching the great writer with a fierce, probing intelligence, flawless language, and the impulse, which drove Didion's finest work, to understand the dreams of another."" — Hua Hsu, Pulitzer-winning author of Stay True 
    An intimate exploration of the life, craft, and legacy of one of the most revered and influential writers, an artist who continues to inspire fans and creatives to cultivate practices of deep attention, rigorous interrogation and beautiful style. 
    Joan Didion was a writer’s writer; not only a groundbreaking journalist, essayist, novelist and screenwriter, but a keen observer who honed her sights on life’s telling details. Her insights continue to influence creatives and admirers, encouraging them to become close observers of the world, unsentimental critics, and meticulous stylists. 
    An antidote to a global view that narrows our vision to the smallest screens, The World According To Joan Didion is a meditation on the people, places, and objects that propelled Didion’s prose and an invitation to journalists, storytellers, and life adventurers to “throw themselves into the convulsions of the world,” as she once said. 
    Evelyn McDonnell, the acclaimed journalist, essayist, critic, feminist, native Californian, and university professor who regularly teaches Didion’s work, is attuned to interpret Didion’s vision for readers today. Inspired by Didion’s own words—from her works both published and unpublished—and informed by the people who knew Didion and those whose lives she shaped, The World According to Joan Didion is an illustrated journey through her life, tracing the path she carved from Sacramento, Portuguese Bend, Los Angeles, and Malibu to Manhattan, Miami, and Hawaii. McDonnell reveals the world as it was seen through Didion’s eyes and explores her work in chapters keyed to the singular physical motifs of her writing: Snake. Typewriter. Hotel. Notebook. Girl. Etc. 
    One of the first books to be published after the revered writer’s death in 2021, The World According to Joan Didion is a literary companion for those embarking on new journeys and a guide to innovative ways of being. It will radically transform the way you explore the world, and will help you answer the question as you sit in a café, or on a plane or train, pondering the future: What would Joan Didion have seen?
