Rawlinson's extensive knowledge of ancient languages, alongside his role as a translator of key historical texts, granted him unique access to the Chaldean civilization's rich tradition, enabling him to bring their stories to life with authenticity and depth. "History of the Ancient Chaldea" is an essential read for anyone interested in the foundations of human civilization. It appeals not only to scholars and students of ancient history but also to casual readers eager to explore the vibrant histories that have shaped our world.

    Economic inequality is one of the most pressing issues of our time. While some individuals amass enormous wealth, millions struggle to afford basic necessities. The gap between the rich and the poor has widened significantly over the past few decades, raising concerns about fairness, economic stability, and the future of society. This growing divide affects nearly every aspect of life, from access to education and healthcare to political representation and social mobility. Understanding the causes and consequences of economic inequality is essential to addressing the challenges it presents.  
      
    Historically, economic disparities have existed in every civilization, but modern inequality has taken on new dimensions. The rise of globalization, rapid technological advancements, and financial deregulation have contributed to an economic system that disproportionately benefits the wealthy. While free markets have driven innovation and lifted millions out of poverty, they have also concentrated wealth and power in the hands of a few. In many countries, the middle class—once the backbone of economic stability—has eroded, leaving a stark contrast between the privileged elite and those struggling to keep up.  
    Government policies play a crucial role in shaping economic inequality. Tax structures, labor laws, and social welfare programs determine how wealth is distributed within a society. In some cases, policies favor large corporations and high-income individuals, exacerbating disparities. Meanwhile, stagnant wages, the decline of labor unions, and rising costs of living make it increasingly difficult for working-class families to get ahead. The debate over economic inequality is not just about wealth but about opportunity. When financial barriers prevent people from accessing quality education, healthcare, and stable employment, economic mobility declines, reinforcing cycles of poverty.

    How children engage with technology at each stage of development, from toddler to twentysomething, and how they can best be supported. 
     
     
     
    What happens to the little ones, the tweens, and the teenagers, when technology—ubiquitous in the world they inhabit—becomes a critical part of their lives? This timely book brings much-needed clarity to what we know about technology's role in child development. Better yet, it provides guidance on how to use what we know to help children of all ages make the most of their digital experiences. 
     
     
      
    From toddlers who are exploring their immediate environment to twentysomethings who are exploring their place in society, technology inevitably and profoundly affects their development. Drawing on her expertise in developmental science and design research, Katie Davis describes what happens when child development and technology design interact, and how this interaction is complicated by children's individual characteristics and social and cultural contexts. Critically, she explains how a self-directed experience of technology—one initiated, sustained, and ended voluntarily—supports healthy child development, especially when it takes place within the context of community support.
