Summary

In "History of the Phoenician Civilization," George Rawlinson meticulously unravels the intricate tapestry of Phoenician society, exploring its significant contributions to trade, culture, and the evolution of written language in the ancient Mediterranean world. Employing a narrative style that beautifully marries scholarly rigor with accessible prose, Rawlinson situates the Phoenicians within the broader context of ancient history, deftly analyzing their interactions with neighboring civilizations such as the Egyptians and Greeks. The work is distinguished by its comprehensive use of archaeological evidence alongside classical texts, thereby enriching our understanding of a culture often overshadowed by its more dominant contemporaries. George Rawlinson, a prominent historian and philologist of the 19th century, was deeply influenced by his extensive study of ancient Near Eastern scripts and historical contexts. His familiarity with classical authors and dedication to accuracy promote a nuanced portrayal of the Phoenicians, shedding light on their complexities as seafarers, traders, and innovators. Rawlinson's passion for history is evident in his painstaking research, which aims not only to document the Phoenicians but to foster an appreciation for their enduring legacy. Readers interested in ancient civilizations and the foundations of Western culture will find Rawlinson's work an invaluable resource. With its balanced blend of historical detail and engaging narrative, "History of the Phoenician Civilization" invites scholars and casual readers alike to explore the richness of a civilization that laid the groundwork for contemporary trade and commerce. This book stands as a testament to the Phoenicians' pivotal role in shaping the ancient world, making it a crucial addition to any serious historical library.

    What happens in the field, stays in the field. Or does it? 
    After the disastrous way her first archaeological dig ended, graduate student Olivia Sanchez abandoned her dreams of working in the field. Now, thanks to a last-minute teaching opportunity in Cyprus, she’ll get another chance to explore ancient history firsthand. This time, failure isn’t an option. 
    But digging up the past takes on a whole new meaning when she’s forced to team up with her ex, shovel bum Rick Langston. 
    For years, Rick has proven his archaeological skills all over the Mediterranean. But with no graduate degree—and a habit of attracting trouble—his reputation could use a little rehab. All he has to do is play by the rules while he’s in Cyprus and he’ll secure a coveted recommendation for his next job. Until Olivia resurfaces like a cursed relic from the past. 
    Given that their last fling nearly led to their academic ruin, Olivia and Rick can’t afford to repeat their past mistakes. But as they work together under the scorching Mediterranean sun, the heat between them proves impossible to ignore.

    In this volume, our focus shifts slightly to the actual personality types; everyone should be aware of and susceptible to when they cross our paths. These are the people you probably don't want to know. 
    Why? They're people who really don't like other people. Well, they do, but what they like about people is exploiting, damaging, and controlling them. They like people for what they can do for them financially, in their careers, and in terms of their status in society. 
    We've covered some of the general personality types in Book One of our series. That information will have given you some insight into the people you meet and how to read them. But what I've saved for this volume is an examination of those who walk among us who are corrosive and psychologically compromised. Also, in this book, you'll be reading about the role of intuition in detecting the truth about situations and people and how to foster and use it to protect yourself and others from the excesses of the disorders described in this book. 
    We'll be focusing on personality disorders, the behaviors of those who are burdened with them, and how to see them coming. There are tell-tale signs early on in interactions with these people that can save you a lot of drama and chaos.  
    As you move along, you'll note an overlap between symptoms and behaviors. In the Cluster B personality disorders, we'll be looking at, the symptomatic overlap is not only common but expected. Further, those who fall under the headings in the cluster often have what is referred to as "co-morbidities." These are the double whammy types, who live with more than one personality challenge or disorder.
