Summary

In "History of the Phoenician Civilization," George Rawlinson presents a meticulous examination of the Phoenicians, a civilization known for their remarkable maritime prowess and trade networks that spanned the ancient Mediterranean. The book is characterized by Rawlinson's clear, analytical prose, which synthesizes archaeological findings, historical texts, and linguistic evidence to construct a comprehensive narrative. He situates the Phoenicians within the broader context of ancient Near Eastern history, exploring their contributions to commerce, culture, and the spread of the alphabet, while also addressing the geopolitical dynamics that shaped their evolution and eventual decline. George Rawlinson, renowned for his expertise in ancient history and as a key figure in the translation of notable works, such as the inscriptions of ancient Assyria, approaches this subject with profound scholarly passion. His academic background, coupled with his travels in the Middle East, has afforded him a unique perspective on the significance and nuances of Phoenician civilization, as well as its intersections with neighboring cultures. This compelling work is highly recommended for readers intrigued by ancient civilizations, historians, and scholars alike. Rawlinson's engaging narrative not only illuminates the intricacies of Phoenician life but also invites readers to appreciate the lasting legacy of the Phoenicians that continues to influence modern societies.

    Written in a non-technical style by two archaeologists and experienced writers about the past, the story begins with human origins in Africa some six million years ago and the spread of our remote ancestors across the Old World. Then we return to Africa and describe the emergence of Homo sapiens (modern humans) over 300,000 years ago, then, much later, their permanent settlement of Europe, Eurasia, Asia, and the Americas. From hunters and foragers, we turn to the origins of farming and animal domestication in different parts of the world after about 11,000 years ago and show how these new economies changed human existence dramatically. The narratives chronicle the rise and fall of civilizations, and the devastating effects of long droughts on many of them. The closing chapter poses a question: Why is world prehistory important in the modern world? What does it tell us about ourselves? 
     
     
     
    Providing a simple, but entertaining and stimulating, account of the prehistoric past from human origins to today from a global perspective, World Prehistory: The Basics is the ideal guide to the story of our early human past and its relevance to the modern world.

    Why is it so difficult to love someone with ADHD? 
    Can you no longer cope with your partner’s behavior? 
    Does attention deficit disorder strain your romantic relationship? 
      
    Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder can cause misunderstandings, frustrations and resentments; even in close-knit romantic relationships. 
      
    There are lots of couples in which one or both partners have ADHD. All of this can become a dark tunnel with no way out. 
      
    If you’re in a relationship with someone who has ADHD: 
    ·       You may feel tired of taking care of everything on your own and being the only responsible party in the relationship. 
    ·       You may feel angry and emotionally blocked. Anger and resentment permeate many interactions with the ADHD spouse. 
    ·       You may feel lonely, ignored and unappreciated. 
    ·       You don't feel like you can count on your partner. You always have to organize everything to make up for his or her forgetfulness. 
    ·       You feel frustrated. A non-ADHD spouse might feel as if the same issues keep coming back over and over again. 
    ·       Sometimes it seems that your partner doesn't care about you. 
    ·       You feel exhausted and depleted. The non-ADHD spouse carries too many responsibilities and no amount of effort seems to fix the relationship. 
      
    You deserve better! 
      
    If you would like a book that will help you to finally understand why your spouse acts in certain ways and enables you to make their lives and your own life better, then this book is for you!

    This is a combo of three titles, which are: 
      - Populism vs. Liberalism: Political ideologies form the foundation of how societies organize governance, economics, and social structures. They are systems of ideas and beliefs that provide a framework for political thought and action, influencing policies, institutions, and the behavior of individuals and groups. Among the diverse range of ideologies, populism and liberalism have emerged as two of the most significant and often opposing forces in modern political discourse. This chapter introduces the concepts of populism and liberalism, highlights their importance, and sets the stage for the comparative analysis that follows. 
      - The Populist Playbook: Populism, as a political ideology and movement, is rooted in the idea of a fundamental divide between "the people" and "the elite." It asserts that the common people, often portrayed as hardworking and morally upright, are being oppressed or ignored by an elite class of politicians, businessmen, and intellectuals who are perceived as self-serving and out of touch with the needs of the general public. The term "populism" has evolved over time and can be used to describe a range of political movements and leaders who claim to represent the interests of the ordinary person against established powers. 
      - The Impact of Populism: The roots of populism stretch back to the 19th century, with early movements advocating for the empowerment of ordinary citizens, particularly in agricultural societies. However, the modern manifestation of populism began to take shape in the mid-20th century and accelerated in the 21st century, fueled by growing disillusionment with traditional political elites. The rise of social media, economic inequality, and a globalized world have all contributed to populism's recent resurgence, particularly in Western democracies.
