Synopsis

In 'The Seven Great Monarchies of the Ancient Eastern World: Persia', George Rawlinson meticulously examines the rise and fall of one of history'Äôs most formidable empires. This scholarly work is characterized by its rigorous historical analysis and eloquent prose that navigates the complex socio-political landscape of ancient Persia. Rawlinson employs a comprehensive approach, integrating archaeological findings, primary sources, and critical interpretations to detail the Persian Empire's governance, culture, and its interactions with neighboring civilizations. The book is set within the broader context of ancient Near Eastern studies, reflecting a deep understanding of the region'Äôs historical significance. George Rawlinson, a prominent Victorian scholar and Assyriologist, was profoundly influenced by the resurgence of interest in ancient civilizations during the 19th century. His scholarly pursuits were fueled by his experiences as a diplomat in the Middle East, where he developed a fervent interest in cuneiform inscriptions and the historical narratives they conveyed. This intimate familiarity with the region informed his meticulous research and brought a novel perspective to the understanding of Persia'Äôs historical legacy. This book is essential for historians, students, and enthusiasts of ancient history. Rawlinson's insightful examination of the Persian Empire not only illuminates its grandeur but also reveals the lasting impact it had on subsequent cultures. Readers seeking a well-rounded, scholarly foundation in ancient Persian history will find this work both enlightening and indispensable.

    Drawing on his twenty-four years' experience, Patrick Cozier reflects on the reality of school leadership in Calm Leadership, providing a candid and personal account of his journey. Patrick first stepped into headship in 2006, one of the few Black school leaders in the UK at the time. Over the next two decades, he learned to lead through the highs and lows of the role, from navigating imposter syndrome and everyday pressures to experiencing moments of joy and hard-won progress and to do so calmly.
    At the heart of this book is Patrick's 'CALM' leadership model, honed and crafted by him over many years, which entails:
    
    - Confronting uncalm feelings
    - Adapting to the feeling of leadership
    - Leading people with humanity and understanding
    - Maturing into the leader you are meant to be
    This model offers a framework for managing stress, staying well and maintaining a positive outlook so that readers can sustain leadership roles in the long term.  This book addresses a part of leadership that's often overlooked: what it actually feels like to lead.
    The central message of this book is that leadership doesn't have to be a burnout job; it can be a source of joy, fulfilment and lasting impact when approached with the right mindset and strategies, which Patrick presents with clarity, passion and heart.
    Essential for current and aspiring school leaders at all levels.

    Urban life is a dynamic tapestry woven from the threads of culture, innovation, and diversity. Cities, as epicenters of human activity, have always held a magnetic allure, drawing people in with the promise of opportunity, connectivity, and growth. From the ancient cities of Mesopotamia to the sprawling metropolises of today, urban centers have evolved into places where human ambition and creativity flourish. Understanding the essence of urban life requires a deep dive into the social, cultural, and economic forces that shape these vibrant hubs of civilization. 
    At their core, cities are defined by their density and diversity. They bring together individuals from all walks of life, creating a melting pot of cultures, languages, and traditions. This diversity fosters a unique cultural ecosystem where ideas intersect, and innovation thrives. The exchange of knowledge, whether through bustling markets, collaborative workplaces, or artistic endeavors, is one of the defining characteristics of urban living. Cities are not just physical spaces; they are living entities that embody the collective energy of their inhabitants. 
    Urban life is also deeply intertwined with the physical structure of the city. Streets, buildings, and public spaces are more than mere infrastructure—they serve as stages for human interaction and expression. Urban planning and architecture play crucial roles in shaping the experience of city life, influencing everything from how people move and interact to how they feel within their environment. Well-designed urban spaces can foster community, encourage sustainability, and enhance the overall quality of life for city dwellers.

    In the 200 years since Blake's death, the visionary artist, poet, and writer has become a household name, often beloved. Yet many struggle to comprehend his kaleidoscopic ideas; how they speak to human longings and the challenges of living in anxious times.Philosopher and psychotherapist Mark Vernon provides a fresh route into Blake, taking him at his word. Exploring this brilliant thinker's passionate writings, arresting artworks, and fascinating life, Vernon illuminates Blake's vivid worldview. Like us, he lived in a tumultuous era of war, discontent, rapid technological change, and human estrangement from nature. He exposed the dark sides of political fervor and social moralizing, while unashamedly celebrating love and liberty. But he also conversed with prophets and angels, and was powerfully, if unconventionally, religious. If we take this seriously—not easy, in secular times—then Blake can help us to unlock the transformative power of imagination.Written for both longstanding fans and those unfamiliar with his work, Awake! reveals Blake as an invigorating and hopeful guide for our modern age.

    Procopius appeared to be a loyal part of the Byzantine establishment, his official writing glorifying the deeds of the Emperor Justinian (d. AD 565). However, he also produced a work that he knew could never be published within the Emperor’s lifetime: The Secret History, a vitriolic indictment of the rule of Justinian and his wife Theodora.In The Secret History, the general Belisarius is presented as an idiot who is manipulated by his conniving wife Antonina, while the Emperor is depicted as a demon king, a dishonest and autocratic destroyer of established institutions. The Empress Theodora doesn’t escape Procopius’ invective – she is portrayed as the antithesis of the traditional Roman matron: depraved, brutal and bloodthirsty.
