Sinossi

Toltec Influence explores the profound and lasting impact of the Toltec civilization on Mesoamerica, particularly on the Aztecs. It examines how the Toltecs, despite their relatively short reign, laid a cultural foundation that later societies deliberately emulated. The book highlights architectural innovations like Atlantean figures and serpent columns, alongside the integration of deities like Quetzalcoatl into the broader Mesoamerican religious landscape. Understanding the Toltec civilization provides insight into the ideological and physical structures adopted by successor cultures. The book meticulously dissects the Toltec's rise and decline, then transitions to the architectural techniques, symbolic meanings, and regional variations in their building styles. Subsequent chapters explore the Toltec religious system, focusing on key deities, rituals, and cosmological beliefs. By contrasting Toltec and Aztec practices, the book reveals how the Aztecs strategically appropriated Toltec elements to legitimize their rule and connect themselves to a prestigious past, reinforcing their political and spiritual authority. Through archaeological evidence, historical accounts, and art analysis, Toltec Influence offers a comprehensive look at Mesoamerican history. It stands out by focusing on how Toltec influence was transmitted and transformed, rather than simply cataloging similarities between cultures. This exploration offers value to students, scholars, and anyone interested in understanding the complex relationship between past and present in ancient civilizations.

    This audiobook includes archived recordings from interviews taken with Second World War soldiers, as well as an Introduction and Epilogue read by the author.'Enthralling and enlightening . . . A wonderful look into the personal experiences, that heart and soul, of the fighting soldier towards the end of the Second World War' John Nichol, Sunday Times bestselling author of The Unknown WarriorFrom the bestselling author of D-Day: The Unheard Tapes comes a revealing new history of the final bloody battles against Nazi Germany. Published for the 80th anniversary of VE Day and based on audio interviews with those who fought their way to victory, this is a compelling and immersive account of a crucial period in the Second World War.February, 1945. Eight months have passed since the D-Day landings, when the Allies gained their foothold in North-West Europe. Since then the British Army has fought near continuously against the German military. Now, they stand ready for their final test: the battle for the German homeland.Drawing on the sound archive of the Imperial War Museums and other personal acounts, military historian Geraint Jones brings this this often-overlooked period of the war vividly to life in the words of British soldiers who were there, from war-weary men who have survived many months of combat to new recruits facing Hitler's fanatics for the first time.In Voices of Victory we join the soldiers battling to break through the Siegfried Line and clear the Reichswald forest, where fighting was from one tree to the next. At the crossing of the Rhine we go into action with the commandos, and jump behind enemy lines with the Paras. We are taken into the horror of Belsen when the concentration camp is liberated, hear from the witnesses of the forgotten battles of April, and end the war deep in Germany, with victory in Europe.

    "Allison Raskin’s book unpacks the questions and uncertainties around marriage that so many of us have... a must-read for anyone and everyone that may be curious about the intricacies of modern marriage.” –Nick Viall, TV Personality, Host of The Viall Files, and Bestselling AuthorFrom Just Between Us cohost and bestselling author Allison Raskin comes a witty, incisive take on modern marriage and how a new generation can navigate its uncertainties and questions.Marriage rates may be on the decline, but that doesn’t mean marriage is disappearing from society. In fact, as modern relationship norms and structures continue to evolve, the public discourse about marriage has never been louder—or more conflicted. Divorce rates, the appeal of cohabitation, seemingly infinite options for future partners, the patriarchal roots of marriage and gender roles, and economic uncertainty are just a few factors that leave a new generation of single and dating adults wondering. What does marriage even look like now? Why do people still do it? And, most importantly, is it “for me”?With conversational wit and compassion, bestselling author Allison Raskin draws on new research, interviews with licensed experts, and the stories of real-life couples to break down the many pieces of today’s “marriage conversation”—and to make the leap of faith a little less scary for Gen Z and millennial adults like herself. What emerges is a thoughtful investigation into our cultural assumptions about commitment, compatibility, divorce, meaningful partnership, the future of marriage—and what it really means to join your bank accounts.
