Summary

"Hidden Temple Networks" unveils the fascinating interconnectedness of ancient temple complexes, revealing them not as isolated structures but as vital networks shaping past societies. These temple networks, often featuring subterranean passageways, served as conduits for religious processions, knowledge dissemination, and cultural exchange. The book explores how architecture, history, and religious practices intertwined within these physical spaces, reinforcing the social and spiritual order of ancient civilizations.

By examining temple networks across diverse cultures, including Mesoamerica and Southeast Asia, the book uncovers the deliberate design behind these complexes. It demonstrates how their layouts and construction techniques embodied cosmological beliefs and power structures, reflecting a universal human impulse to create sacred spaces. The book challenges conventional interpretations by emphasizing the interconnectedness of these sacred spaces, offering a comprehensive understanding of ancient cultures from an Art History, Religious Studies, and Anthropology perspective.

The book progresses by first introducing the concept of temple networks, then focusing on specific geographical regions to analyze architectural features, symbolic elements, and historical context. This approach, drawing on archaeological evidence and historical texts, highlights the significance of these networks in understanding ancient civilizations.

The book uniquely emphasizes the interconnectedness of temple complexes, providing a more holistic view of ancient cultures.

Buried Treasures - The Power of...

Jack Zipes

Jack Zipes has spent decades as a "scholarly scavenger," discovering forgotten fairy tales in libraries, flea markets, used bookstores, and internet searches, and he has introduced countless readers to these remarkable works and their authors. In Buried Treasures, Zipes describes his special passion for uncovering political fairy tales of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, offers fascinating profiles of more than a dozen of their writers and illustrators, and shows why they deserve greater attention and appreciation. 
 
 
 
These writers and artists used their remarkable talents to confront political oppression and economic exploitation by creating alternative, imaginative worlds that test the ethics and morals of the real world and expose hidden truths. Among the figures we meet here are Édouard Laboulaye, a jurist who wrote acute fairy tales about justice; Charles Godfrey Leland, a folklorist who found other worlds in tales of Native Americans, witches, and Roma; Kurt Schwitters, an artist who wrote satirical, antiauthoritarian stories; Mariette Lydis, a painter who depicted lost-and-found souls; Lisa Tetzner, who dramatized exploitation by elites; Felix Salten, who unveiled the real meaning of Bambi's dangerous life in the forest; and Gianni Rodari, whose work showed just how political and insightful fantasy stories can be.

North-West Rebellion The: The...

Editors Charles River

The Métis people, later one of the three recognized aboriginal groups in Canada, were an indigenous group that came from marriages between French traders and native women, but Scotch and English cultures were also heavy influencers among the Métis. The term comes from a Latin word for “to mix” and originally referred to the children of these relationships, but the Métis would grow to become a major intermediary between the white settlers moving across North America and native fur traders, and during the 19th century, the Métis “considered themselves a separate nation, different from other people, including the Indians and the French.” 
Like other native groups, as settlers began further encroaching on territory they inhabited, tensions boiled. In June 1816, a group of Métis attacked Red River colonists and their acting governor at a point known as Seven Oaks. Cuthbert Grant, a Métis fighter, had carried out several attacks against the Red River Colony and Hudson’s Bay Company’s posts, and this pattern would continue until the whites were driven out of Red River altogether. 
Of course, that local victory wouldn’t stop the inexorable march of settlement altogether, and over the decades, there would be more fighting, with the most notorious outbreak coming in the 1880s. That resistance movement is widely known today as the North-West Rebellion, and all the factors that had gone into forming Canada as it is recognizable today would be at play.
