Sinopse

In "A Primer of Mayan Hieroglyphics," Daniel G. Brinton presents a comprehensive introduction to the intricate world of Mayan writing systems, blending scholarly rigor with accessible prose. The book meticulously examines the structure, syntax, and phonetics of hieroglyphs, encouraging readers to appreciate the beauty and complexity of this ancient language. Brinton's work is situated within the broader context of 19th-century American antiquarian scholarship, reflecting a burgeoning interest in indigenous cultures and their languages, while also engaging with the scientific methodologies of his time. Daniel G. Brinton was a pioneering American archaeologist and anthropologist, whose passion for Native American languages and cultures profoundly influenced his scholarly pursuits. Educated in both medicine and philology, Brinton's wide-ranging expertise allowed him to advocate for the importance of understanding indigenous history through their languages. His commitment to ethnology, coupled with a fascination for the Mayan civilization, inspired him to create a foundational text that not only decodes hieroglyphics but also elevates the significance of Mayan contributions to human culture. This primer is highly recommended for both students and enthusiasts of linguistics and anthropology. Brinton's approachable style makes complex information digestible, ensuring that readers come away with a deeper understanding of Mayan hieroglyphics and a greater appreciation for the civilization that produced them. It is an essential resource for anyone looking to bridge the gaps in their knowledge of Mesoamerican history and communication.

    TRANSFORM YOUR LIFE WITH THE TAO TE CHING, SIMPLIFIED! 
    Learn to work with the principles of the universe instead of against them. 
    Imagine having an “instruction manual for life”; one that could simultaneously enhance both the everyday practical aspects of your existence as well as the spiritual. What would your life look like then? How would it feel? 
    Dr. Matthew Barnes, chemist, biochemist, doctor, and bestselling author of The Emerald Tablet 101, The Hermetica 101, The Kybalion 101, The Bhagavad Gita 101, and Jesus Christ, Zen Master, presents his interpretation of the Tao Te Ching. And he does so in a way that is “lovely” and “easier to understand”. (Quotes are from reader's reviews).

    Among all the various figures in 19th century America who left controversial legacies, it is hard to find one as influential as Joseph Smith (1805-1844), the founder of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, Mormonism, and the Latter-Day Saint movement. Revered as a prophet on the level of Moses by some, reviled as a perpetrator of large-scale fraud by others, what everyone can agree on is that Joseph Smith founded a religious movement that played a crucial role in the settlement of the West, especially in Utah. 
    Smith’s death was one of the catalysts for the Mormons’ great migration to Utah, and today that state and the Mormons are virtually synonymous. To this day, Mormons still form a majority of the population, and members of the Church have prominent political and economic roles. Among the most effective methods by which the Latter-Day Saints attained regional dominance was the flooding of specific areas with a like-minded population of fellow settlers and offspring, subsequently controlling the voting and government institutions through a weighty majority. Such an approach caused alarm in each region to which Mormon settlers emigrated; the church collective had already been evicted from New York and other areas for exercising the tactic. The practice of polygamy within the church may have been socially repugnant to Judaic and Christian denominations, but the schism between Mormonism and other American faiths lay deeper. This theological separatism caused the Mormon community to live apart, except in the pursuit of converts. The church became increasingly perceived as “un-American,” and over time hostile to and dismissive of those living outside the faith. In time, the Mormon belief that its members were the only heirs to the kingdom of God justified the commission of crimes, including murder. The non-Mormon population responded in kind.

    We broke our new series on learning French down into different learning stages. Start with the "Lower Beginner" books followed by the "Beginner" and "Upper Beginner" books. Next, progress to the "Intermediate" series, then test and reinforce your knowledge with the "Conversations" series. 
    This audiobook is divided into units.While it provides different learning patterns and accommodates various needs, this audiobook focuses on helping you improve your ability to understand, speak, and memorise French.  
    In Unit 1 you will hear French decoded with each syllable spoken very slowly and clearly with repetition. Immediately before each sentence is spoken, you will hear the translation, so you will always understand what is being said. 
    Unit 2 focuses solely on increasing your listening ability, which will improve your abilities to engage in dialogue with a native French speaker. This chapter requires you to listen very carefully to nuances in the language. 
    By Unit 3 you will already notice progress in your abilities to speak and understand French. The spoken translation is followed by two repetitions in French at a completely natural speed. While you are learning to process naturally spoken French, Units 3 and 4 will help you memorise new vocabulary and full sentences. 
    In Unit 5 you can test yourself on how much you have learned. If you are having difficulties, we suggest you revisit the listening, speaking, or memorisation section of Units 1, 2 3 or 4, according to what you need more help with.
