Synopsis

Mayan Temple Designs explores the sophisticated mathematical and astronomical knowledge embedded within Mayan temples, revealing how these structures were more than just places of worship. 

 
The book uncovers the meticulous planning that allowed the Maya to align their temples with celestial events, demonstrating their deep understanding of calendars, cycles, and the cosmos. 

 
Intriguingly, the Maya achieved astonishing precision in their architecture despite lacking metal tools or the wheel. 

 
The book examines specific temple designs at sites like Palenque, Tikal, and Chichen Itza, revealing how mathematical ratios and geometric shapes were incorporated. 

 
It begins with Mayan mathematics, then analyzes temple designs and culminates with the implications of Mayan architectural precision in their society. This approach highlights the Maya's ability to integrate science, religion, and artistic expression.

    "Marshaling fine-grained historical detail and scrupulous analysis, Hardwick persuades."--Publishers Weekly (starred review) 
     
    As a Black autistic pastor and disability scholar, Lamar Hardwick lives at the intersection of disability, race, and religion. Tied to this reality, he heeded the call to write How Ableism Fuels Racism to help Christian communities engage in critical conversations about race by addressing issues of ableism. 
     
    Hardwick believes that ableism--the idea that certain bodies are better than others--and the disability discrimination fueled by this perspective are the root causes of racial bias and injustice in American culture and in the church. Here, he uses historical records, biblical interpretation, and disability studies to examine how ableism in America led to the creation of images, idols, and institutions that perpetuate both disability and racial discrimination. 
     
    He then goes a step further, calling the church into action to address the deep-seated issues of ableism that started it all and offering practical steps to help readers dismantle ableism and racism both in attitude and practice.

    The incredible wartime saga of the only American submariners 
    to survive the sinking of their ship and evade enemy capture in WWII 
     
     
     
    On the night of August 13, 1944, the U.S. submarine Flier struck a mine in the Sulu Sea in the southern Philippines as it steamed along the surface. All but fifteen of the more than eighty-strong crew went down with the vessel. Of those left floating in the dark, eight survived by swimming for seventeen hours before washing ashore on an uninhabited island. The story of the Flier and its eight survivors is wholly unique in the annals of U.S. military history. 
     
      
     
    Eight Survived tells the gripping story of the doomed submarine and its crew from its first patrol, during which it sank several enemy ships, to the explosion in the Sulu Sea. Drawing on interviews with the survivors and on a visit to the jungle where they washed ashore—where a cast of fascinating characters helped the U.S. sailors evade the Japanese—Douglas Campbell fully captures the combination of extraordinary courage and luck that marked one of the most heroic episodes of World War II.
