Summary

George Rawlinson's "History of the Phoenician Civilization" offers an exhaustive exploration of the intricate socio-political structures, trade networks, and cultural contributions of the ancient Phoenicians. The text employs a rigorous scholarly style, rich with detailed analysis and historical context, drawing from both archaeological findings and classical sources. Rawlinson's writing transcends mere narration, engaging readers with vivid depictions of key events and figures, while situating the Phoenicians within the broader landscape of Mediterranean history. As a 19th-century historian and Assyriologist, George Rawlinson was profoundly influenced by his rigorous classical education and his role as one of the first to translate cuneiform inscriptions from ancient Mesopotamia. His fascination with ancient civilizations likely stemmed from this background, as he intertwines comparative analysis of Phoenician culture with insights into its interactions with neighboring societies, such as the Greeks and Egyptians. Rawlinson's expertise underscores the validity and depth of his historical interpretations, making them invaluable to both scholars and enthusiasts of ancient history. I wholeheartedly recommend "History of the Phoenician Civilization" to anyone intrigued by the complexities of ancient cultures and their legacies. Rawlinson's meticulous work shines a light on the often-overlooked achievements of the Phoenicians, providing a compelling narrative that enriches our understanding of their enduring impact on western civilization.

    “We're all just walking each other home.” 
     
    “The quieter you become, the more you can hear.” 
     
    “We're fascinated by the words--but where we meet is in the silence behind them.” 
     
    “It is important to expect nothing, to take every experience, including the negative ones, as merely steps on the path, and to proceed.” 
    ― Ram Dass 
     
    Dr. Richard Alpert, a former Harvard professor and Timothy Leary cohort, was an icon of the hippie, LSD-fueled revolution of the 1960s. Thereafter, on a trip to India - like Clark Kent changing into Superman - he became the much-beloved spiritual teacher Baba Ram Das. His 1970s' iconic book Be Here Now turned on a generation to the deep, non-sectarian spirituality within us all. 
     
    Author Sripad Jagannatha Dasa became friends with Ram Das in the early '70s and traveled across America, playing Indian drums at his speaking engagements. During that time, the two discussed the publication of some of his lectures, but nothing was ever done, and the two lost touch. Now, finally, after all these years, Jagannatha Dasa keeps his promise to his old friend, publishing this original audio history of one of our most inspired and cherished spiritual teachers.

    Somatic Experiencing - Trauma is a deeply impactful event that can leave lasting scars on the body and mind. While traditionally associated with physical injury or life-threatening events, trauma also encompasses psychological and emotional experiences that overwhelm the body's ability to cope. These experiences can range from major events, such as accidents, abuse, or natural disasters, to more subtle forms of chronic stress and neglect. Regardless of the cause, trauma has profound effects on the nervous system and the way individuals experience the world around them. 
    Equine-Assisted Therapy - Horses have long been admired for their strength, grace, and beauty, but their role in human healing extends far beyond these physical qualities. Over the years, research and practice have increasingly shown that horses possess a unique ability to promote emotional, psychological, and even physical well-being. Equine-Assisted Therapy (EAT) leverages this connection between humans and horses to foster healing in individuals facing a variety of challenges, from trauma and mental health struggles to physical disabilities. 
    Art Therapy - Art has been an integral part of human expression for millennia, transcending language and culture to communicate thoughts, emotions, and experiences. In the realm of therapy, art serves as a transformative tool, offering individuals a unique way to process their emotions, explore their identities, and navigate life’s challenges.  
    Music Therapy - Music has long been recognized as a universal language, transcending cultural and linguistic barriers to evoke emotions, inspire creativity, and foster connections. Its profound ability to influence the human mind and body makes it a powerful tool in the realm of healing.

    In Speak of It, Marcos McPeek Villatoro explores how he channeled his Latino roots to come to terms with the childhood sexual abuse he suffered at the hands of a relative in his home in Appalachia, and he recounts his ensuing struggle with trauma and mental illness. 
     
     
     
    The son of a Salvadoran mother and Scotch Irish mechanic father, Marcos spent much of his life trying to break away from his Southern Appalachian past and the trauma experienced there and striving to get closer to his Salvadoran heritage. His journey includes steeping himself in the Spanish language and Latin American literature, especially the work of Gabriel García Marquez; a stint in Nicaragua with Witness for Peace, followed by missionary work in Guatemala; and social-justice work with Mexican migrant farmworkers in Alabama. Each experience brought him closer to understanding where he came from and to forging an identity as a whole self in the wake of trauma. 
     
     
     
    Riveting, horrifying, moving, and inspiring, Speak of It is a testament to the healing power of language, books, and identity.
