Summary

Lost Pyramid Cities explores the fascinating phenomenon of ancient urban centers dominated by monumental pyramids that mysteriously disappeared. It examines the architectural achievements, societal structures, and potential reasons for their abandonment, offering insights into early urban development. Uncover how these cities showcase both incredible ingenuity and vulnerabilities, providing a lens to view early forms of governance and climatology.

 
The book investigates specific examples like Teotihuacan and the Norte Chico civilization, analyzing architectural layouts, social hierarchies, and economic systems. It delves into potential causes for their collapse, such as environmental degradation and resource depletion, or social unrest and external pressures.

 
By drawing connections across archaeology, history, architecture, and environmental science, Lost Pyramid Cities provides a holistic understanding of these societies. The book progresses by first defining "pyramid cities," then examining specific examples, and concluding with a synthesis of common factors leading to their decline. This approach provides a comparative analysis that identifies patterns and unique characteristics across different continents and time periods.

 
Ultimately, it argues that these lost civilizations offer invaluable lessons for contemporary urban planning and sustainability efforts.

    Among the many masterpieces of G.K. Chesterton, The Everlasting Man is his crowning achievement. It was the book that set a young atheist named C.S. Lewis on the path toward Christianity. Evelyn Waugh called it “a permanent monument” that “needs no elucidation.” And its lively prose and compelling defense of Christianity have dazzled readers ever since.  But a little elucidation, it turns out, is needed. Chesterton’s presentation of the story of humanity and religion is filled with obscure literary, historical, mythological, philosophical, and theological references—most of which are largely lost on today’s readers. And Chesterton’s paradoxical and apparently wandering style proves, at times, disorienting to newcomers.  In this groundbreaking guide—the first of its kind—one of the world’s leading authorities on Chesterton walks readers through the entirety of this great apologist’s text. Complete with an introduction, footnotes, and running commentary, Dale Ahlquist’s tour through Chesterton’s classic will draw new readers into his literary world—and old readers even deeper into his literary genius.

    "The Queen of Distraction" is a comprehensive guide specifically tailored for women dealing with ADHD and its unique challenges. The book acknowledges that while not all readers may have a formal ADHD diagnosis, many women struggle with organization, focus, and daily tasks. Author Terry Matlen, a psychotherapist, approaches ADHD from a distinctly feminine perspective, addressing specific challenges that women face in managing their condition. 
The book explores how ADHD manifests differently in women compared to men, covering crucial areas such as maintaining relationships, dealing with sensory sensitivities (particularly skin sensitivities), the complexities of meal planning, parenting challenges, and the intersection of ADHD symptoms with hormonal fluctuations. It provides practical strategies and actionable solutions for managing these challenges. 
What sets this book apart is its focus on real-world applications, offering concrete tips and techniques for everything from basic daily tasks like getting dressed to more complex challenges like preparing for job interviews or planning meals. The author understands that for women with ADHD, even simple daily activities can become overwhelming ordeals. 
Rather than just providing basic coping mechanisms, the book aims to help readers truly thrive rather than merely survive. It offers various treatment options and management strategies that can be customized to individual needs. The approach is both practical and empowering, acknowledging the struggles while providing hope and concrete solutions for improvement.
