Egyptian Art: Studies - Illustrated

Gaston Maspero

Beschreibung

I opened F.W. von Bissing’s work with a certain feeling of melancholy, for it was a thing that I had hoped to do myself. Ebers had suggested to Bruckmann, the publisher, that he should entrust the task to me, and I was on the point of arranging with him when the preparations for an Orientalist Congress to meet at Paris in 1897 deprived me of the leisure left me by my lectures and the printing of my “History,” and I was forced to give up the project. Herr von Bissing, who was less occupied then than I was, consented to hazard the adventure, and no one could have been better equipped than he was to carry it through. The seeking of materials, the execution of typographical clichés, the composition of the text and its careful setting forth exacted eight years of travelling and continuous labour. Bissing issued the first part at the end of 1905, and five other parts have quickly followed, forming almost the half of the work, seventy-two plates folio, and the portions of the explanatory text belonging to the plates.

Corporal Cannon - A Female...

Savannah Cannon

Not even old enough to drink, Corporal Savannah Cannon is a young enlisted United States Marine deployed to support Operation Enduring Freedom in Afghanistan in 2010. As a tactical data networking specialist, she is sent away from everyone she knows and attached to a Regimental Combat Team where women are not allowed to repair communications. Her experiences over the next few months shed light on the unique and difficult positions women are placed in when supporting combat roles, while offering a raw look at the painful choices women must sometimes make. 
 
 
 
Cannon finds herself in a combat zone, ostracized from family, friends, and even her fellow Marines as the men are told to avoid her. The connections she makes are born from trauma and desperation and the choices she makes will echo throughout many lives. 
 
 
 
Corporal Cannon is not the story of a heroine; it is the hard-hitting account of just one of the flawed individuals who make up the United States' fighting forces. Mistakes in the battlefield can have dire consequences, personally and professionally. Reflecting on her time in service, the author weaves a story of past and present, and the healing that can come with admitting our mistakes and moving past them.

The History of Urbanization -...

Lyric Vale

Urbanization refers to the process through which cities and towns grow as a result of the migration of people from rural areas and the expansion of urban areas. It is a phenomenon that has shaped human history for thousands of years, influencing every aspect of society from economics to culture and beyond. As populations increase, the desire for better living conditions, access to employment, and social interaction has led individuals to seek opportunities in urban centers. Over time, these cities evolve to accommodate larger populations, evolving into complex hubs of commerce, culture, and technology.
The roots of urbanization trace back to the early agricultural revolution, which enabled humans to produce food more efficiently and settle in one place. This change allowed small villages to grow into the first cities, creating more permanent centers of human life. As civilizations advanced, cities became focal points for trade, governance, religion, and culture. Each of these elements played a crucial role in promoting further urban development, as settlements began to specialize in various industries, services, and functions that drew people from surrounding rural regions.
Historically, urbanization was most prominent in ancient civilizations such as Mesopotamia, Egypt, and later, Greece and Rome. These early cities, though primitive by modern standards, laid the foundations for the urban environments we know today. Greek and Roman cities were carefully planned, with infrastructures like roads, aqueducts, and public spaces that contributed to their growth and sustainability. In more recent centuries, urbanization expanded rapidly during the Industrial Revolution, driven by advances in technology, industry, and transportation. Factories, railroads, and new employment opportunities in cities attracted millions of people, transforming landscapes and social structures in profound ways.
