Beschreibung

Edward Augustus Freeman (1823-1892) was an English historian, architectural artist, and Liberal politician, a one-time candidate for Parliament. He held the position of Regius Professor of Modern History at Oxford, where he tutored Arthur Evans, the British archaeologist and pioneer in the study of Aegean civilization in the Bronze Age; later he and Evans were activists in the Balkan uprising of Bosnia and Herzegovina (1874-1878) against the Ottoman Empire.Freeman's life was marked by a prodigious literary output. His published scholarly works include the six large volumes of Norman Conquest, his unfinished History of Sicily, and his William Rufus (1882). He wrote several others on the early Middle Ages, and produced works on Aratus, Sulla, Nicias, William the Conqueror, Thomas of Canterbury, Frederick II and many more.Today we offer our readers one of Freeman's most interesting works: The Chief Periods of European History, a collection of lectures read at the Trinity College, University of Oxford, in 1885, with an essay on Greek Cities Under Roman Rule. It was published in London by MacMillan and Co. in 1886.

    The pages of world history textbooks contain a litany of “lost” empires and civilizations, but usually, upon further review, it is revealed that these so called lost empires are often just lesser known cultures that had a less apparent impact on history than other more well-known civilizations. When one scours the pages of history for a civilization that was inexplicably lost, but had a great impact during its time, very few candidates can be found, but the Hittites are a notable example. In fact, the Hittites are an ancient people who remain somewhat enigmatic, and perhaps little known to most people, but their influence on the ancient Near East is undeniable. From high on their capital of Hattusa in central Anatolia, the Hittites were able to conquer and control a kingdom that roughly comprised the area of the modern nation-states of Turkey, Syria, and parts of Iraq and Lebanon. 
    Among the peoples of the ancient Near East, few are more misunderstood than the Scythians. The Scythians swept into Anatolia in the early first millennium BCE and left a large swath of destruction in their wake. They challenged old, strong, and venerable kingdoms such as the Assyrians, Egyptians, and Medes, until they were defeated by the Medes and then gradually disappeared into historical obscurity once more. According to the ancient Greek historian Herodotus, the Scythians ruled a large part of the Near East for nearly 30 years, but before they disappeared from the historical record, the Scythians greatly impacted the history of the Near East. 
    Of all the empires and kingdoms in the ancient world, few could compare with the Lydians in terms of wealth and opulence. From the early 7th century BCE until the middle of the 6th century BCE, the Lydians played an important role in the history of the eastern Mediterranean region as they took on the role of middleman between the empires of the Near East and the emerging Hellenic civilization in Greece.

    At the intersection of technological innovation and urban human experience lies a revolutionary transformation of how we conceive, design, and inhabit our living spaces. Smart Cities represent more than a technological trend—they are a fundamental reimagining of urban environments where digital intelligence, interconnected systems, and human-centric design converge to create more responsive, efficient, and adaptive urban landscapes. This comprehensive exploration delves into the complex world of technological integration in urban systems, examining how digital networks, advanced sensors, artificial intelligence, and collaborative platforms are reshaping the very fabric of city life. 
    The narrative of smart cities is a dynamic journey of technological potential and human adaptation, where urban networks become living, breathing ecosystems of information and interaction. By exploring the intricate relationships between technology, infrastructure, social dynamics, and urban design, this book unveils the profound ways in which digital innovations are transforming traditional urban paradigms. Readers will discover how city networks are evolving from static infrastructures to intelligent, responsive systems that can anticipate needs, optimize resources, enhance sustainability, and create more inclusive, connected urban experiences. From data-driven urban management to the Internet of Things, from intelligent transportation systems to participatory digital platforms, this exploration offers a visionary perspective on how technology is not just changing cities, but fundamentally reimagining the potential of human collective living.

    The aspects of Anne Boleyn's life and death are fiercely debated by historians, yet her ladies-in-waiting remain an understudied topic. Much emphasis is usually put on Anne's relationships with the men in her life: her suitors, her royal husband, her father and brother, and her putative lovers who were executed on May 17, 1536. By concentrating on a previously neglected area of Anne Boleyn's female household, this book seeks to identify the women who served Anne and investigate what roles ladies-in-waiting played in this Queen's household.

    Unmasking Fear - How Fears Are...

    Imagine the possibilities if instead of avoiding the things you feared, you approached them with courage and curiosity. 
      
    When we are in the grip of fear, our world can get very small and for many of us, the number of choices shrink to just four basic reactions: fight, flight, freeze, or fawn. That’s not a lot of options. On a collective level, elements of our society like governments, religions, and businesses sometimes instill fear to divide and control—to keep us feeling dependent on them instead of ourselves. On an individual level, fear can be the reason we’re living a life that’s not reflective of our truth or potential. It’s what keeps us feeling stuck and holds us back. What most of us don’t realize is that fear has much to teach us. 
      
    “Fear Technician” Guryan Tighe reframes the way we approach fear from the goal of conquering it to a goal of learning from it by providing readers three gateways to look at fear in a way that frees us: curiosity, gratitude, and purpose. She shows us how to interrupt our initial reaction, pause, check in with ourselves, and rewrite the patterns we use to respond to that which we fear. With this shift in thinking and how to engage it, readers will find new pathways forward as they shift from unintentional reactions to intentional responses. 
      
    When we change our relationship to fear, we gain valuable insights that inform our growth and development, connecting us more deeply to our truth. This different approach to fear doesn’t just transform our relationship with ourselves but can also unite us with others through empathy and shared purpose. What has the power to separate us from ourselves and each other—fear—also has the power to unite us. Unmasking Fear shows us that fear is courage unrealized and understanding our fears frees us to pursue the life we want. 
      
    “For anyone in the grip of fear, or longing for deeper connection to themselves and others, this book will propel you towards greater clarity, confidence and peace.”—Randy Taran, author of Emotional Advantage and founder/CEO of Project Happiness.org
