Sinopse

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.

    This is a snapshot of your personal and unique way of processing information. I’ve written it over a period of many years–tweaking it as I researched and learned more about our layers of learning. 
    I’ve taught violin, raised children, and given workshops (some for music students and some for authors of children’s books where we discussed the child’s development at various ages so that when they wrote a book, they knew the thinking of their characters). 
    Kids think differently in just a matter of a few months. What scared them at six years old at seven is just a matter of fact. What made them laugh at four is no longer funny at five. 
    Some topics include:

    Part leadership book, part business book, and 100% true, this is like hearing a wise, honest, and humorous mentor finally tell you about the world of business as it is and how to find your place in it. 
     
     
     
    Many leadership books are either shallow (focusing on only one element of leadership), narrow (examining leadership out of context), or biased (selling an idealized model). This book seeks simplicity without being simplistic and focuses on the listener in their context rather than describing other people's leadership in theirs. It sets out twenty rules for success that draw on Emmanuel Gobillot's twenty years of experience advising high-performing leaders. Each rule is presented in an engaging, instantly recognizable true story that helps current and aspiring leaders to look differently at their own situation. 
     
     
     
    Best described as a leadership development program, this book takes you on a fast-paced, three-step journey from what it takes to be a leader, to why you can be one, via how to succeed.

    “[A] fascinating treatise on moral psychology . . . in-depth interviews with five people who risked their lives to rescue Jews during World War II.” —Publishers WeeklyThrough moving interviews with five ordinary people who rescued Jews during the Holocaust, Kristen Monroe casts new light on a question at the heart of ethics: Why do people risk their lives for strangers and what drives such moral choice? Monroe's analysis points not to traditional explanations—such as religion or reason—but to identity. The rescuers' perceptions of themselves in relation to others made their extraordinary acts spontaneous and left the rescuers no choice but to act. To turn away Jews was, for them, literally unimaginable. In the words of one German Czech rescuer, "The hand of compassion was faster than the calculus of reason."At the heart of this unusual book are interviews with the rescuers, complex human beings from all parts of the Third Reich and all walks of life: Margot, a wealthy German who saved Jews while in exile in Holland; Otto, a German living in Prague who saved more than 100 Jews and provides surprising information about the plot to kill Hitler; John, a Dutchman on the Gestapo's "Most Wanted List"; Irene, a Polish student who hid eighteen Jews in the home of the German major for whom she was keeping house; and Knud, a Danish wartime policeman who took part in the extraordinary rescue of 85 percent of his country's Jews.Monroe's analysis of these stories is a dramatic illumination of the power of identity to shape our most basic political acts, including our treatment of others.
