Sinopsis

The city of Rama remained buried for centuries in the folds of history until, in the 70s of the last century, following the thread of a legend the independent researcher Giancarlo Barbadoro brought it to light. On the trail of megalithism, Barbadoro and Rosalba Nattero were led to an extraordinary discovery: an ancient megalithic city, in the Susa Valley, which has left impressive signs of its existence and of the myth of Phaeton and his Golden Wheel. Many centuries of erased and reinterpreted history have created a blanket of fog that has covered and obscured stories, traditions, customs. Yet, even starting from minor clues, we can discover a path already marked just waiting to be rediscovered. Perhaps the true history of Europe and Piedmont is told precisely by what still remains of the megalithic civilization and ancient myths, such as that of Rama.

    Moral philosophy, or ethics, is the branch of philosophy that examines concepts of right and wrong, virtue and vice, justice and injustice. It seeks to understand the foundations of moral principles, how they are applied in human life, and whether moral truths are objective or subjective. From ancient civilizations to modern societies, moral philosophy has played a crucial role in shaping human thought, behavior, and institutions. 
    One of the fundamental questions in moral philosophy is whether morality is a product of reason, emotion, or social convention. Some philosophers argue that moral principles stem from rational deliberation, while others suggest that morality is deeply tied to human emotions, such as compassion and guilt. Social constructivists, on the other hand, emphasize that moral norms evolve through cultural traditions, religious beliefs, and historical contexts. 
    The study of moral philosophy is often divided into three main branches. Meta-ethics explores the nature and meaning of moral language, questioning whether moral statements express objective truths or subjective opinions. Normative ethics examines different ethical theories that propose principles for moral conduct, such as consequentialism, deontology, and virtue ethics. Applied ethics focuses on practical moral issues, including debates on human rights, justice, medical ethics, and environmental concerns.

    Agincourt (1415) is an exceptionally famous battle, one that has generated a huge and enduring cultural legacy in the six hundred years since it was fought. Everybody thinks they know what the battle was about. 
     
      
     
    But why and how has Agincourt come to mean so much, to so many? Why do so many people claim their ancestors served at the battle? Is the Agincourt of popular image the real Agincourt, or is our idea of the battle simply taken from Shakespeare's famous depiction of it? Written by the world's leading expert on the battle, this book shows just why it has occupied such a key place in English identity and history in the six centuries since it was fought, exploring a cultural legacy that stretches from bowmen to Beatles, via Shakespeare, Dickens, and the First World War. 
     
     
     
    Anne Curry first sets the scene, illuminating how and why the battle was fought, as well as its significance in the wider history of the Hundred Years War. She then takes the Agincourt story through the centuries from 1415 to now, from the immediate, and sometimes surprising, responses to it on both sides of the Channel, through its reinvention by Shakespeare in King Henry V (1599), and the enduring influence of both the play and the film versions of it, especially the patriotic Laurence Olivier version of 1944, at the time of the D-Day landings in Normandy.

    Through this collection of essays, author and activist Reagan Jackson, chronicles her journey into the world of journalism. Art, cinema, social justice, feminism, Black reparations, health & reproductive rights, dance, education—while Jackson’s subjects range far and wide, her writing brings an intimacy & immediacy to all. 
    Equal parts personal testament, structural interrogation, and social criticism, Reagan Jackson’s Still True inspires in its singularity. Jackson writes with a powerful sense of history and a wide-ranging vision, capturing a Seattle in flux, where processes of inequality, gentrification, and police violence occur alongside community struggle, vivid resistance, and countless episodes of joy. We should all hope that voices like hers blossom throughout our communities. This book is a gift to all readers and writers—aspiring, established, or otherwise. ~Sonora Jha, author of The Laughter 
    Reagan Jackson writes from the crossroads of journalism, memoir, activism, and everyday life in these raw and wild times. Jackson is a pioneer for what “writing the first draft of history” looks like in an intersectional world and a model of how media can help build the communities and worlds of the future.  
    ~Sarah Stuteville, Co-Founder of the Seattle Globalist

    Are you keen to perfect your writing? This audiobook will teach you how to be a stylish, insightful and convincing writer. This compilation includes Twain's On the Decay of the Art of Lying, Strunk's The Elements of Style, and Bennett's The Author's Craft - all in one.The Elements of Style by William Strunk Jr first clarifies the writer's understanding of how to - correctly. In it, Strunk has laid a detailed, essential map, one he believed pays off, for in unlocking the secrets of style, one opens the terrain for mastery of literature.Now over a century since its first publication, the book is anything but outdated, as it is still widely used today – just testament to Strunk’s timeless knowledge and mastery with the pen."The skilled observer ... does not have to change his mind." – Arnold Bennett.The Author's Craft is Arnold Bennett’s four-part writing tutorial. As an esteemed journalist, novelist and playwright, he believed truly 'Seeing Life' primed the pen, out of which 'Writing Novels', 'Writing Plays' and 'The Artist and The Public' emerge. In the exposition, he expands on how to see the world, and how to not overlook the details most miss… These skills and techniques give rise to the craft he feels the author is really trying to achieve: art.Mark Twain’s “On the Decay of the Art of Lying” was his wryly told essay on why he felt the world needs educated lying, published in 1880 for a meeting of the Historical and Antiquarian Club of Hartford, Connecticut. The way he saw it, everyone lies at some point in their lives. Twain decided that lying could be a valuable skillset in various different arenas - provided you knew how to do it well, and didn’t try to hurt anybody. As he put it, "What chance has the ignorant uncultivated liar against the educated expert? What chance have I against Mr. Per—against a lawyer? Judicious lying is what the world needs."

    The Zapotec civilization emerged in the valleys of Oaxaca, a region characterized by its fertile land, diverse ecosystems, and strategic position for trade and agriculture. Archaeological evidence suggests that the earliest Zapotec communities began forming around 1500 BCE, with small farming villages dotting the landscape. Over time, these settlements grew in complexity, giving rise to a society that would become one of Mesoamerica’s most influential civilizations. 
    Early Zapotec communities relied heavily on agriculture, cultivating maize, beans, squash, and chili peppers—staples that formed the foundation of their diet. The region’s rivers and seasonal rains provided a reliable water source, allowing for irrigation techniques that supported larger populations. As food production increased, villages expanded, and the need for organization led to the development of social hierarchies. Religious leaders, warriors, and skilled artisans began to hold distinct roles in society, paving the way for the emergence of political structures. 
    By the first millennium BCE, the Zapotecs had established themselves as a dominant force in the Oaxaca Valley. Unlike nomadic or loosely structured societies, they developed permanent settlements with planned architecture, ceremonial centers, and marketplaces. This period saw the rise of San José Mogote, one of the earliest known Zapotec centers, where the first signs of their writing system and political organization appeared. San José Mogote’s influence laid the groundwork for the later establishment of Monte Albán, which would become the heart of Zapotec power.
