Sinopsis

Sumerian Cities explores the groundbreaking urban planning and societal innovations of ancient Sumer, revealing how these Mesopotamian metropolises laid the foundation for modern city living. The book examines how Sumerian city-states in the Fertile Crescent tackled challenges of resource management, communication, and social organization.

 
 For instance, their ingenious irrigation systems, essential for sustaining large populations, predate modern water management strategies by millennia. Furthermore, the development of cuneiform writing wasn't just for record-keeping; it also served as a tool for literature and legal codes, reflecting a sophisticated cultural expression.

 
 The book uniquely connects irrigation, writing, and governance to showcase Sumerian urban society. Structured to provide a comprehensive overview, it begins with geographical and historical context, then explores irrigation techniques, the evolution of cuneiform writing, and Sumerian governance.

 
 By synthesizing archaeological findings and translations of cuneiform texts, Sumerian Cities provides a holistic view. The book considers how Sumerian innovations have influenced urban centers worldwide while also addressing the limitations of Sumerian urbanism.

    I AM 
    Like you 
    Living through dreams 
    Making deals with desire 
    Bullied by fears 
    Tethered to memory’s ghosts 
    Finding Out is a warm invitation to join me on a walk through the tangled pathways we all trek. Themes range from the pain of adolescent self-consciousness, to the security of friends, to the fire of romance, to our yearning to grasp the cosmos. The poetic images and metaphors explore—in both contemporary and classical verse forms—who are we? How can we deal with life’s complications and be happy, and what is this astonishing epic we call life? 
    Finding Out echoes my deepest fears and desires, and my greatest joys and hopes, inviting you to explore your own path toward happiness and enlightenment. 
    Several poems celebrate the art of writing itself: writing is a powerful technique to peel back the layers of conditioning smothering our true Selves. I hope they inspire you to polish your writing skills too. 
    The connecting thread through the poems is our shared longing 
    to Find Out of the Maze, 
    from youthful insecurities 
    to realizing 
    our little life 
    is just our latest dream 
    since 
    The Big Bang detonated, 
    The Universe exploded into Consciousness, 
    And the cosmic dream began

    This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice. 
    Behind every locked door, there is a story that began with a promise. Step inside the chilling world of history's most notorious cults, where charismatic leaders wielded absolute power over devoted followers who willingly surrendered their lives, families, and futures. From the jungles of Guyana, where Jim Jones orchestrated the largest mass suicide in modern history at Jonestown, to the doomsday visions of Heaven's Gate, the fiery horrors of Uganda's Movement for the Restoration of the Ten Commandments, and beyond, this gripping true crime narrative exposes the dark psychology behind mass manipulation and brainwashing. Meticulously researched and hauntingly told, this audiobook explores the terrifying mechanics of coercive control, the seductive power of charismatic leadership, and the psychological vulnerabilities that turn ordinary teachers, doctors, and mothers into true believers willing to die—or kill—for a cause. Discover the disturbing patterns that connect the Peoples Temple, the Branch Davidians, the Solar Temple, and other apocalyptic sects that ended in bloodshed and tragedy. Examine the warning signs of high-control groups, the role of isolation and fear, and how faith, hope, and belonging can be weaponized to devastating effect. Perfect for fans of true crime, cult documentaries, psychological thrillers, and dark history, this compelling listen delivers unforgettable stories of manipulation, murder, and mass death. Enter the doors that closed behind fifteen hundred souls—and learn how they were persuaded to walk through.

But with the recent heinous accusations of sexual misconduct coming to light, this new and updated edition will offer a new focus of Tom Bower's trademark acerbic insight on this controversial figure.'[Tom Bower] is the Inspector Morse of investigative biographers, a fluent, phlegmatic story-teller and a master of intricacies.' Sunday Times'Given the extreme difficulty of researching a subject like Fayed, Bower deserves full marks for effort and courage... his Fayed is a "fuggin" good read.' Lynn Barber, Daily Telegraph'A book that displays all the forensic skills he employed in exposing Rowland and Robert Maxwell.' Sunday Times'...that rare thing - a book by turns so entertaining and alarming that even reading the index is an engrossing experience'. Oliver Burkeman, Guardian

    The Science of Discipline is a proven and transformative roadmap to tackling some of the biggest behavioral problems faced in school systems today. Nathan Maynard, a global leader in discipline and restorative practices, offers insightful theories and practical strategies to take a more proactive approach to improve student behavior in the classroom with immediate and long-lasting effects. Many behavior modification models are outdated and fear-based, creating more challenges than they solve. Instead, this book walks you through Maynard's signature trauma-informed approach, focusing on belonging, accountability, and logical consequences for students. 
     
    Supported by research in behavioral neuroscience, as well as Maynard's experience consulting and training thousands of educators and working with students in some of the most complex school systems across the globe, this book gives you eight strategies to work through challenges students and educators face: discipline; cultivating accountability; ending loneliness in schools; building empathy; respect; the power of differentiated thinking; raising kids; and understanding the "bad kid". Featuring powerful stories from students and teachers, this book also shares Maynard's inspiring journey from generational poverty, childhood trauma, and a 'bad kid' reputation to a life dedicated to healing others worldwide.

    This book is all about mass disappearances which have occurred in history. 
    These events run the gamut from entire villages whose inhabitants disappeared to a flight of military planes gone missing in the Bermuda Triangle. 
    Many ships have disappeared so I only cover a few of the most notorious ones.  
    I also do not usually cover missing families or where just several people have gone absent. 
    It is much more interesting to me if an entire army became lost and missing or strange things happened to a group which has become a big mystery. 
    There are also some recent missing persons mysteries since these events happen even in the modern age.
