Synopsis

In "The Seven Great Monarchies Of The Ancient Eastern World: Assyria," George Rawlinson presents an extensive exploration of Assyria's historical supremacy and cultural intricacies. Written in a compelling narrative style that melds rigorous scholarship with vivid storytelling, this volume delves into the rise and fall of one of the most formidable empires of the ancient world. Rawlinson meticulously analyzes various aspects of Assyrian society'Äîfrom its architecture and art to its military conquests and political structures'Äîframing the narrative against a rich tapestry of Mesopotamian history, thereby contextualizing Assyria'Äôs impact on subsequent civilizations. George Rawlinson, a noted Victorian historian and philologist, drew upon his deep knowledge of ancient languages and cultures, acquired during his tenure at Oxford and through his work in the East India Company, to craft this comprehensive study. His passion for archaeology and ancient Near Eastern history is evident throughout the text, reflective of a broader scholarly pursuit to uncover and understand the complexities of early empires and their legacies. This book is highly recommended for historians, students of ancient cultures, and avid readers alike. Rawlinson'Äôs engaging prose and thorough research not only illuminate Assyria's historical significance but also inspire a deeper appreciation for the ancient world, making it an essential addition to any library focused on ancient history.

    The bloodiest day in American history took place on the 75th anniversary of the signing of the Constitution. On September 17, 1862, Robert E. Lee’s Confederate Army of Northern Virginia fought George McClellan’s Union Army of the Potomac outside Sharpsburg along Antietam Creek. That day, nearly 25,000 would become casualties, and Lee’s army would barely survive fighting the much bigger Northern army. Although the battle was tactically a draw, it resulted in forcing Lee’s army out of Maryland and back into Virginia, making it a strategic victory for the North and an opportune time for President Abraham Lincoln to issue the Emancipation Proclamation, freeing all slaves in the rebellious states. For those reasons, Antietam is remembered as one of the major turning points of the Civil War, even as it is often overlooked that the bloody battle only represented the climactic culmination of a 3 week campaign that saw George McClellan cautiously pull a fragmented Union army together and begin tracking Lee’s army into Maryland.  
    	Without question, the most famous battle of the American Civil War took place outside of the small town of Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, which happened to be a transportation hub, serving as the center of a wheel with several roads leading out to other Pennsylvanian towns. From July 1-3, Robert E. Lee’s Confederate Army of Northern Virginia tried everything in its power to decisively defeat George Meade’s Union Army of the Potomac, unleashing ferocious assaults that inflicted nearly 50,000 casualties in all. Day 1 of the battle would have been one of the 25 biggest battles of the Civil War itself, and it ended with a tactical Confederate victory. But over the next two days, Lee would try and fail to dislodge the Union army with attacks on both of its flanks during the second day and Pickett’s Charge on the third and final day.

    Harriet Tubman, freedom fighter and leader in the Underground Railroad, is one of the most significant figures in US history. Her courage and determination in bringing enslaved people to freedom have established her as an icon of the abolitionist movement. But behind the history of the heroine called "Moses" was a woman of deep faith. 
     
     
     
    In Walking the Way of Harriet Tubman, Therese Taylor-Stinson introduces Harriet, a woman born into slavery whose unwavering faith and practices in spirituality and contemplation carried her through insufferable abuse and hardship to become a leader for her people. Her profound internal liberation came from deep roots in mysticism, Christianity, nature spirituality, and African Indigenous beliefs that empowered her own escape from enslavement—giving her the strength and purpose to lead others on the road to freedom. 
     
     
     
    Harriet's lived spirituality illuminates a profound path forward for those of us longing for internal freedom, as well as justice and equity in our communities. As people of color, we must cultivate our full selves for our own liberation and the liberation of our communities. As the luminous significance of Harriet Tubman's spiritual life is revealed, so too is the path to our own spiritual truth, advocacy, and racial justice as we follow in her footsteps.

    When Brie receives a large, attachable "finger" that enhances sensation, the first thing she does is stick it on her clit. It works as planned and she proceeds to use it and abuse it, losing track of time in the process. Her best friend and co-worker, Erica, visits to investigate why Brie missed work, and Brie shares her new toy with her, allowing Erica to experience penetration as the giver for the first time.

    Their use of the magical pill will determine the direction of not only their relationship, but their lives.
