Sinopse

"Chichen Itza" explores the history, architecture, and cultural significance of this renowned Mayan city. The book unveils how the city's monumental structures, like El Castillo, reflect Mayan cosmology and astronomical knowledge. It highlights Chichen Itza's unique blend of Mayan and Toltec influences, setting it apart from other Mayan sites and offering insights into a period of cultural exchange. Unraveling the meaning behind its architecture provides a window into the Mayan worldview and their sophisticated understanding of mathematics and engineering.

The book adopts a comprehensive approach, integrating archaeological findings with art historical analysis to uncover deeper layers of meaning within the city's architecture. It begins by laying the groundwork with introductions to Mayan architecture, cosmology, and history. Subsequent chapters delve into structures like the Great Ball Court and the Temple of Warriors, exploring specific engineering concepts such as the structural advantages of corbel arches.

The book argues that Chichen Itza served as a nexus of power, religion, and scientific knowledge. The final chapters synthesize these findings, presenting a comprehensive interpretation of Chichen Itza as a reflection of the Maya’s intellectual achievements and societal organization. Supported by archaeological evidence and epigraphic studies, this book offers valuable insights for history enthusiasts, archaeology buffs, and anyone interested in understanding the lasting legacy of Chichen Itza and the Mayan civilization.

Farnsworth's Classical English...

Ward Farnsworth

Learn how to argue from the masters. This book is a complete course on the art of argument, taught by the greatest practitioners of it: Churchill, Lincoln, and hundreds of others from the golden age of debate in England and America. 
 
 
 
The book's concise chapters provide lessons in all aspects of give and take—the syllogism and the slippery slope, the argumentum ad hominem and reductio ad absurdum, the fallacy and the insult. Ward Farnsworth shows how the full range of such techniques can be used or repelled, and brings them to life with examples that are fascinating and instructive. 
 
 
 
The result is a must-listen reference that will leave you better able to win arguments and to defend yourself under fire. It's also an entertaining reminder that argument can be a source of beauty and delight. As Farnsworth says of the examples, they show talented advocates "crossing analytical swords and exchanging abuse when those things were done with more talent and dignity than is common today. They made argument a spectator sport of lasting value and interest."
