Sinopse

Ziggurat Structures explores the towering monuments of ancient Mesopotamia, examining their architectural evolution, religious significance, and pivotal role in early urban centers. These structures were not merely temples; they were integral to the socio-political and religious fabric of Mesopotamian civilization. Intriguingly, ziggurats served as tangible symbols of a city's power and connection to the gods, influencing urban planning and legitimizing royal authority.

 
The book meticulously examines the architectural development of ziggurats, tracing their evolution from early iterations to monumental forms in cities like Ur and Babylon. It also delves into the religious beliefs and rituals associated with these sacred spaces, connecting the earthly and divine realms.

 
Drawing on archaeological excavations and cuneiform texts, the book reconstructs ancient Mesopotamian practices and demonstrates how these structures influenced the layout of cities and the consolidation of power. Each chapter builds upon the previous, starting with an introduction to the ziggurat concept and culminating in an examination of their lasting legacy.

Others Like Me - The Lives of...

Nicole Louie

A deeply personal exploration of childless and childfree women in their own words. 
 
 
 
Others Like Me is the story of fourteen women around the world, from different walks of life, who don't have children. It's also the story of why Nicole Louie had to find these women and what they taught her. Part memoir, part exploration of childlessness through candid conversations, this book showcases the many ways in which people find fulfillment outside of parenthood. And because the social expectation to procreate weighs the most on women, Louie focuses solely on them, their experiences, and how they flourish outside of motherhood. In doing so, she upends the stereotypes that diminish women who are childless by choice, circumstance, or ambivalence and offers reassurance and companionship on a path less known.

Iron Knights - The US 66th...

Gordon A Blaker

This WWII combat history vividly recounts the exploits of the US 66th Armored Regiment from its initial formation to D-Day and the Race for Berlin. The U.S. 66th Armored Regiment was the only American heavy tank unit to see combat in World War I. By the time America went to war in Europe a second time, it was on the cutting edge of armored warfare. From its baptism of fire in the mud of the Western Front in 1918 to its triumphant march into Berlin in July 1945, Iron Knights tells the story of this legendary regiment.    When the Great War ended, the 66th Armored Regiment served as a laboratory for new ideas and equipment. After training under Gen. George S. Patton, the 66th distinguished itself in numerous battles during World War II, earning six battle streamers for the unit and a Medal of Honor for one of its officers.
