Beschreibung

In "The Great Empires of the Ancient East," George Rawlinson meticulously explores the rise and fall of powerful civilizations such as Babylon, Assyria, and Persia, weaving a rich tapestry of historical narrative with astute archaeological insights. Written in the 19th century, Rawlinson's work reflects the era's burgeoning interest in Oriental studies and the ancient world, characterized by a scholarly yet accessible prose that invites readers to both educate and inspire wonder. His detailed analysis of historical texts, inscriptions, and artifacts enables a deeper understanding of the socio-political, religious, and cultural dynamics that shaped these empires, manifesting in a compelling chronicle that illuminates their legacies. George Rawlinson, a notable British historian, was deeply influenced by his own explorations in the East and his groundbreaking translations of cuneiform inscriptions. His expertise in ancient languages and dedication to the preservation of history rendered him a prominent figure in contemporary scholarship. This background, coupled with his personal curiosity about the cultures he studied, fueled his desire to provide a comprehensive narrative that would bridge the past and present for modern readers. Rawlinson's work is recommended for anyone seeking to understand the foundational empires that contributed significantly to the course of human history. Through his scholarship, readers will gain not only knowledge but also an appreciation for the complexity of the ancient East, making it an essential addition to the library of history enthusiasts and scholars alike.

    In the rapidly urbanizing world of the 21st century, cities have emerged as the defining habitat for human existence—complex ecosystems where built environments, natural systems, social dynamics, and human health are inextricably intertwined. As urban populations continue to expand globally, the relationship between metropolitan environments and human wellbeing has become one of the most critical frontiers in our collective pursuit of sustainable, equitable development. This comprehensive exploration delves into the multifaceted domains of Urban Environmental Studies, Urban Health, and City Livability—examining how the physical, social, and ecological dimensions of urban spaces fundamentally shape population health outcomes, quality of life, and environmental sustainability. 
    The narrative of urban environmental health transcends traditional disciplinary boundaries; it encompasses the intricate connections between urban design, ecological systems, public health infrastructure, and social determinants that collectively define the healthfulness of city living. By examining the complex interplay between environmental exposures, built environment characteristics, healthcare access, and community resilience, this book illuminates how cities can function either as amplifiers of health inequities or as platforms for promoting wellbeing across diverse populations. Readers will journey through the multidimensional landscapes where urban health manifests—from the microscale of indoor air quality and neighborhood walkability to the macroscale of urban heat islands and metropolitan food systems—while exploring innovative approaches that cities worldwide are adopting to create more livable, healthy, and environmentally sustainable urban futures.

    Could a playful kiss on the cheek from a world-famous Revolutionary War hero change the life of a troubled young girl in 1825 New England?  A Buss from Lafayette, called "a winning historical tale" by Kirkus Reviews, shows how it could have happened.Fourteen-year-old Clara Hargraves lives on a farm in Hopkinton, a small New Hampshire town, during the early 19th century. She has a couple of big problems. First of all, she has a stepmother, Priscilla, who used to be her spinster schoolteacher aunt. Clara resents that her late mother’s older sister has not only married her father but is about to have a baby.To make matters worse, “Prissy Priscilla” keeps trying to make the rambunctious, clever, and witty Clara act like a proper young lady. Secondly, Clara has red hair, making her a target for teasing by a handsome older boy, Dickson Weeks, and by her pretty seventeen-year-old Dread Cousin Hetty.Clara, however, has a secret plan she hopes will change this. During the last week of June, 1825, Clara’s town is abuzz because the famous General Lafayette is about to visit their state during his farewell tour of America. In those eventful seven days, Clara learns a lot about her family, Hetty, Dickon, herself, and about Lafayette. She comes to understand the huge and vital role the young French aristocrat played in America’s Revolutionary War and to see that her problems might not be quite so terrible after all."A winning historical tale that may appeal to young fans of the musical Hamilton." - Kirkus Reviews

    In every generation of every family there is one person that is born carrying an unequal amount of the emotional and energetic burden of their lineage. In an intact culture, this person would be recognized for bearing a gift, a seed: the potential to become the healer of their family line. This potential would be cultivated, and the individual guided to learn how to use this gift to heal their personal and ancestral wounds, as well as guide others in their own process of healing. 
      
    This understanding has been lost in our modern society, and instead those bearing this gift are criticized, belittled, ostracized for the very sensitivity that would make them exceptional healers. They become the “black sheep” of their families and communities. 
      
    The Flowering War is a companion, a guide, and a roadmap for those individuals, those that have carried too much and been seen too little, those that have an incredible gift that, when untended, can become a devastating burden. It is for those that I’ve come to know as “Griefbearers,” the potential healers of generations of untended wounds and accumulated trauma. It is for those that have lost their way in bearing this burden but somehow, miraculously, keep going. It is for those would-be healers, consumed by self-criticism and self-doubt. For those wrestling with addiction and self-destruction. It is a Light to guide them out of the Darkness. 
      
    The Flowering War is for those that are determined to break the harmful patterns of their lives and their lineages. It draws on the ancestral living wisdom of the Toltecs to guide you to a greater understanding of yourself, your purpose in life, and the essential role you play in healing an increasingly wounded world. 
      
    If you recognize yourself in these words, this book is for you.
