Sinopsis

"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.

    No Democracy Lasts Forever argues that the Constitution has become a threat to American democracy and must be dramatically changed or replaced if secession is to be avoided. 
 
 
 
Deeply troubled by the Constitution's inherent flaws, Erwin Chemerinsky, the renowned dean of Berkeley law school, came to the sobering conclusion that our nearly 250-year-old founding document is responsible for the crisis now facing American democracy. Pointing out that just fifteen of the 11,848 amendments proposed since 1789 have passed, Chemerinsky contends that the very nature of our polarization results from the Constitution's "bad bones," which have created a government that no longer works or has the confidence of the public. Yet political armageddon can still be avoided, Chemerinsky writes, if a new constitutional convention is empowered to replace the Constitution of 1787, much as the Founding Fathers replaced the outdated Articles of Confederation. If this isn't possible, Americans must give serious thought to forms of secession—including a United States structured like the European Union—based on a recognition that what divides us as a country is, in fact, greater than what unites us.

    It’s normal for couples to fight – isn’t it? When is a fight just a difference of opinion or a mild disagreement and when does it become an argument which leads to a destructive, hurtful fight? Should we stop the fight before it starts? 
“How Can We Stop Fighting” is all about stopping the nasty accusations and hostility. Couples in thriving affectionate relationships do fight – however they fight in constructive ways which don’t harm their relationship. This book shows you the difference. Fights usually start with a difference of opinion, then escalate to a disagreement which is more animated, then to an argument with greater hostility. An argument typically has three stages of hostile oppositional strength.Hostility at stage one comprises of nasty attacking or defending words with throat tension and a raised voice. In Stage two both partners are yelling at each other, with facial expressions and body language clearly expressing heightened anger and frustration. When Stage two escalates to Stage three one or both partners start screaming nasty accusations at the other, threatening to divorce, using extremely vile language. This book shows you what to do instead..

    Analyzes the current wave of depression, or "desertion," that is causing more and more people to abandon hope and desire in a world where social, political, and environment collapse seems inevitable. 
 
 
 
Depression is rife amongst young people the world over. But what if this isn't depression as we know it, but instead a reaction to the chaos and collapse of a seemingly unchangeable and unlivable future? 
 
 
 
In Quit Everything, Franco Berardi argues that this "depression" is actually conscious or unconscious withdrawal of psychological energy and a dis-investment of desire that he defines instead as "desertion." A desertion from political participation, from the daily grind of capitalism, from the brutal reality of climate collapse, and from a society which offers nothing but chaos and pain. 
 
 
 
Berardi analyzes why this desertion is on the rise and why more people are quitting everything in our age of political impotence and the rise of the far-right, asking if we can find some political hope in desertion amongst the ruins of a world on the brink of collapse.
