Sinossi

In 'The Seven Great Monarchies Of The Ancient Eastern World: Media,' George Rawlinson offers a meticulous exploration of the ancient kingdom of Media, one of the pivotal powers in the early history of the Eastern world. Through a blend of detailed historical accounts and engaging narrative, Rawlinson examines the political, cultural, and social dimensions of Media, contextualizing its significance within the broader tapestry of ancient empires. His scholarly approach, infused with rich descriptions and critical analyses, reflects the Victorian fascination with uncovering the vestiges of past civilizations while integrating classical sources with modern archaeological findings. George Rawlinson, a noted historian and Assyriologist, was deeply involved in the study of ancient civilizations, which profoundly influenced his writing. His academic background, including his work on cuneiform inscriptions and contributions to the deciphering of ancient texts, equipped him with the tools to delve into the complexities of the Medes and their interactions with neighboring empires. Rawlinson's scholarship not only aimed to illuminate the past but also to instill a sense of appreciation for the interconnectedness of ancient cultures. With its scholarly rigor and narrative depth, 'The Seven Great Monarchies' is an essential read for historians, students, and enthusiasts of ancient history. Rawlinson'Äôs incisive insights will not only provoke thought but also enrich one's understanding of the pivotal role Media played in shaping historical trajectories. This book is a must-have for anyone looking to grasp the intricacies of one of history'Äôs great monarchies.

    Raising children is never an easy task; as many parents will tell you, it is a lifetime commitment and one that can sometimes be thankless. Now, raising a neuro-divergent child makes parenting several times more challenging. 
    Neuro-divergence is the difference in brain function from what we consider standard or typical. A neuro-divergent child shows different mental characteristics from what would be considered typical, called neuro-typical. ODD and ADHD are two examples of neuro-divergent disorders that are common among the population. 
    Raising a child with an ODD and ADHD combination is infinitely more challenging than usual and requires greater tact and patience. Children with ODD and ADHD often show developmental problems, defiance of authority, disregard for what is considered normal, and, if not checked, can develop problems in their social life. 
    So, if you are wondering:What exactly are ODD and ADHDHow do I tell the difference between the two?What behavioral problems do the two disorders display? 
    And other similar questions, then read on. 
    This book will cover:What ODD and ADHD are?How ODD with ADHD presents itself.Behavioral problems that an oppositional child displaysLearning how to raise a child with ODD and ADHD combined

    Once pitted as adversarial counterparts as the opinion editors of Detroit's right- and left-leaning newspapers, veteran journalists Nolan Finley and Stephen Henderson join forces in this groundbreaking work to champion a novel approach to political discourse. Finley, a resolute conservative, and Henderson, a committed progressive, defy expectations by demonstrating that civil conversation is not only possible but also richly rewarding, even across colossal ideological divides. 
     
     
     
    In 2020, they launched the Civility Project with journalist and author Lynne Golodner, beginning their journey to teach Americans how to engage in respectful dialogue and maintain relationships despite political differences. The Civility Book is an extension of that mission, offering practical tools and strategies for fostering civility in everyday interactions. At the core of this work, the authors position their four pillars of civility to explain what civility is, why it matters, and how individuals can use it to overcome the antagonistic rhetoric that threatens our society today, one conversation at a time. This conversational, no-nonsense guide provides valuable lessons, a detailed curriculum, probing questions for consideration, and an extensive appendix of resources outlining ongoing efforts to curb unproductive contention and advance a more harmonious society.

    Who’s the Devil: the Other or...

    “We’ve spent nine trillion dollars bombing the Middle East like mad. We’ve sown death there, including our own. And what has it gotten us? Nothing.” 
    Donald Trump, November 1, 2024. 
    
    The figure of the devil has haunted our collective consciousness since the dawn of time. He structures our societies, whether religious or secular. Sometimes, the devil has been a friend before being “demonized”. Sometimes, by force of circumstance, he has become an ally. And sometimes, the devil must be eliminated to mask or even justify the errors of our societies. 
    Thus, during the Second World War, we made a pact with Stalin to bring down a devil deemed more formidable: Hitler. In Northern Ireland, the British ended up talking with representatives of the IRA, just as the French did a few years earlier with the Algerian FLN. Recently, the Americans negotiated with the Taliban, another terrorist group, before handing over the keys to Afghanistan. Saddam Hussein, Muammar Gaddafi and Bashar al-Assad were friends of the West before the latter precipitated their downfall, even if it meant causing chaos in their countries.
    Régis Le Sommier has been a war reporter for 27 years, and has himself interviewed a number of infamous figures. His aim is to revisit the concept of the devil in the light of recent and current conflicts, in order to answer one question: shouldn’t the deleterious consequences of geopolitics conducted “in the name of good” lead us to doubt the validity of the actions taken by our governments, even today, against those they like to refer to as devils?

    For the Record - and other Poems...

    Gillian Bickley

    This collection of poems was written during almost thirty years' residence in Hong Kong. Most are on explicitly Hong Kong topics, and reflect the writer's personal experience and knowledge of Hong Kong. Those who have emigrated or who have spent a period of time overseas will empathise with the expatriate experience described. Other poems narrate and reflect on personal events and concerns which will resonate with many.  
    “Gillian Bickley has the sharp eye and strong stomach of the true realist. ... brilliantly observed.... ‘Tobacco’ is about as close as any poet comes to word-perfect... Not even the American minimalist William Carlos Williams could zero in on and capture a detail with more panache. ...A thought-provoking and entertaining contribution to Hong Kong literature. Bickley succeeds in conveying the character of the Fragrant Harbour with humorous rigour.” — David Wilson, Sunday Morning Post, 21 September 2003 
    “In For the Record and other Poems of Hong Kong, Gillian Bickley inhabits a world of movement, traffic, construction and buildings, but her poetry sees through this to a nature of flying, singing birds and lush green trees existing in harmony or sometimes at odds with modern day Hong Kong. Her work offers a counterpoint of the survival and continuity of nature against which our busy everyday lives are measured. Bickley's Hong Kong is both a universal and a personal one and, like Italo Calvino's book The City, she captures a Hong Kong of the mind, the one city that we all share as a physical space against the myriad cities that we experience and perceive distinctly as our own. She skillfully fuses the human and the natural world". — Dave McKirdy, poet, The Asian Review of Books, 21 September 2003.
