Sinopsis

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.

    Best known as a leader of the Indian takeover of Alcatraz Island in 1969, Adam Fortunate Eagle now offers an unforgettable memoir of his years as a young student at Pipestone Indian Boarding School in Minnesota. In this rare firsthand account, Fortunate Eagle lives up to his reputation as a "contrary warrior" by disproving the popular view of Indian boarding schools as bleak and prisonlike. 
     
     
     
    Fortunate Eagle attended Pipestone between 1935 and 1945, just as Commissioner of Indian Affairs John Collier's pluralist vision was reshaping the federal boarding school system to promote greater respect for Native cultures and traditions. But this book is hardly a dry history of the late boarding school era. Telling this story in the voice of his younger self, the author takes us on a delightful journey into his childhood and the inner world of the boarding school. Along the way, he shares anecdotes of dormitory culture, student pranks, and warrior games. Although Fortunate Eagle recognizes Pipestone's shortcomings, he describes his time there as nothing less than "a little bit of heaven." 
     
     
     
    Were all Indian boarding schools the dispiriting places that history has suggested? This book allows listeners to decide for themselves.

    Eleanor of Aquitaine is a controversial figure in history. Many have referred to her in a different light. Some with some opinions, others with others. Today, you will learn more about those and get as many facts straight as possible.Though meant to represent the extension of the unbroken line of Emperors from Augustus to Constantine VI, Charlemagne's crowning led to the facility of 2 different (and usually competing) Empires and claims to royal authority. It led to war in 802, and for centuries later, the Emperors of the West and the East would contend for supremacy over the whole continent.Historians have disputed for centuries whether Charlemagne understood the Pope's intent to crown him Emperor before the crowning (Charlemagne announced that if he had known, he wouldn't have gone into Saint Peter's, according to chapter twenty-eight of Einhard's Vita Karoli Magni), but this dispute has obscured the more vital question of why the Pope gave the title and why Charlemagne accepted it.In this book, you will find out more about eh controversies around Eleanor of Aquitaine, and her legacy.

    Once upon a time I was falling apart. Now I'm always falling in love. 
    Pick up the microphone. 
    When Rob Sheffield moved to New York City in the summer of 2001, he was a young widower trying to start a new life in a new town. Behind, in the past, was his life as a happily married rock critic, with a wife he adored, and a massive collection of mix tapes that captured their life together. And then, in a flash, all he had left were the tapes. 
    Beyoncé , Bowie, Bon Jovi, Benatar . . . 
    One night, some friends dragged him to a karaoke bar in the West Village. A night out was a rare occasion for Rob back then. 
    Turn around 
    Somehow, that night in a karaoke bar turned into many nights, in many karaoke bars. Karaoke became a way out, a way to escape the past, a way to be someone else if only for the span of a three-minute song. Discovering the sublime ridiculousness of karaoke, despite the fact that he couldn't carry a tune, he began to find his voice. 
    Turn around 
    And then the unexpected happened. A voice on the radio got Rob's attention. The voice came attached to a woman who was unlike anyone he'd ever met before. A woman who could name every constellation in the sky, and every Depeche Mode B side. A woman who could belt out a mean Bonnie Tyler. 
    Bright Eyes 
    Turn Around Bright Eyes is an emotional journey of hilarity and heartbreak with a karaoke soundtrack. It's a story about finding the courage to move on, clearing your throat, and letting it rip. It's a story about navi- gating your way through adult romance. And it's a story about how songs get tangled up in our deepest emotions, evoking memories of the past while inspiring hope for the future.
