Summary

Romantic Codes uncovers the hidden languages of love used throughout history, revealing how individuals expressed affection and desire while navigating societal constraints. It explores how coded communication, a form of subterfuge, became essential, particularly during periods like the Victorian era with its strict social etiquette. The book examines diverse forms of these codes, such as floriography (the language of flowers) and secret messages embedded in art, illustrating the lengths people went to convey their feelings.

 
The study of romantic codes isn't merely a historical exploration; it's about understanding human connection. These codes offer a unique perspective on the social and emotional lives of people from the past. Beginning with the psychological underpinnings of coded communication, the book progresses chronologically, exploring various historical periods and geographical regions. Each section analyzes specific examples, their meanings, and social contexts, enriching our understanding of cultural history and language arts.

  • Wars that Forged Ancient Rome The: The History of the Military Campaigns that Established Antiquity’s Greatest Empire - cover

    Wars that Forged Ancient Rome...

    Editors Charles River

    The Roman army is one of the most famous fighting forces in history. Through its power and prowess, a once obscure Italian city forged an empire that encircled the Mediterranean and covered half of Europe. The physical remains of its presence can be traced from the mountainous borders of Scotland to the arid deserts of Egypt, but its legacy is far greater and more enduring, as Rome's influence continues to shape the political, legal, and cultural landscape of Europe to this very day. 
    While the Roman army is rightly famed as an institution, the image of the individual legionary is also an iconic one. The uniformed, disciplined soldier of the late Republic and early Empire is one of the first things many people imagine when they think of Rome. They are the ultimate image of the ancient soldier, their arms and armor instantly recognizable. Their abilities, not only as warriors but also as engineers and administrators, have made them role models for other soldiers through the centuries. In the same vein, their commanders are still celebrated and studied, and generals the world over have tried to emulate the likes of Julius Caesar. 
    Caesar is still remembered for winning a civil war and helping bring about the end of the Roman Republic, leaving a line of emperors in its place, but it’s quite possible that none of what Caesar did would’ve happened without the template for such actions being set 40 years earlier. At the time, when Caesar was in his teens, war was being waged both on the Italian peninsula and abroad, with domestic politics pitting the conservative, aristocratic optimates against the populist, reformist populares, and this tension ultimately escalated into an all-out war. One of the leading populares was Caesar’s uncle, Gaius Marius, a military visionary who had restructured the legions and extended the privileges of land ownership and citizenship to legionaries.

    Unified Theory of Evolution A...

    "Human nature is the expression of all beings; a human being is the miniature of the universe." 
    The author devoted more than 20 years to this book, proving a philosophical principle and making several critical comments on different theories regarding social problems we are now facing: what is the natural foundation of human subsistence or human phenomena? Why is the progression of civilization and its social development inevitably moving toward an endangering destination? And why are the mental attributes and knowledge system ultimately proved unhelpful or even appear negative? In sum, it rings the alarm through an insightful mode of ultimate investigation for the self-important humanity, and it also foresees the coming of the cloud for the described bright future. 
    Compared with Newton's theory of gravity, Einstein's theory of relativity applies to a more extensive range of space; similarly, Dongyue's theory of weakening compensation applies to a more comprehensive range of human cognition compared with Darwin's theory of biological evolution. In other words, Einstein's theory of relativity is a massive expansion of Newton's theory of gravitation, and Dongyue's theory of weakening compensation is also a tremendous expansion of Darwin's theory of biological evolution. This philosophical monograph is in a demonstrative method with a unique style of language that is quite different from other works in this field, which makes the reading a challenge to many.

    Some Unfinished Chaos - The...

    Surely enough has been written about F. Scott Fitzgerald, the man who coined "the Jazz Age" and symbolized the Roaring Twenties, whose very name conjures up a meteoric rise and an equally spectacular fall? But the better question might be, why has so much ink been spent on a writer who completed only four novels, who fell from grace in the 1930s only to be resurrected twenty years later? The answer, according to the cultural critic Arthur Krystal, "is the problem that is Fitzgerald." 
     
     
     
    Drawn to the glitter of fame but aspiring to the empyrean heights of Joseph Conrad and James Joyce, Fitzgerald careened from the perfection of The Great Gatsby to the hack world of Hollywood screenwriting, penning stories that were either brilliant distillations of the age or superficial works of fiction. Like America itself, Fitzgerald was a work in progress, a self-created and conflicted human being striving for ideals that neither he nor the nation could ever live up to. 
     
     
     
    In this unusual biography Krystal gives us not only the peripatetic and turbulent life of a cultural icon but also the intellectual sweep of a period in history that created our modern America. Some Unfinished Chaos delivers a nuanced portrait of a man whose various sides embodied the trends, passions, and pursuits of the imperfect society that both glorified and dismissed him.

    Journey to the ancient past with cutting-edge science and new data to discover how horses forever altered the course of human history. 
     
       
      
    From the Rockies to the Himalayas, the bond between horses and humans has spanned across time and civilizations. In this archaeological journey, William T. Taylor explores how momentous events in the story of humans and horses helped create the world we live in today. Tracing the horse's origins and spread from the western Eurasian steppes to the invention of horse-drawn transportation and the explosive shift to mounted riding, Taylor offers a revolutionary new account of how horses altered the course of human history. 
     
      
      
    Drawing on Indigenous perspectives, ancient DNA, and new research from Mongolia to the Great Plains and beyond, Taylor guides listeners through the major discoveries that have placed the horse at the origins of globalization, trade, biological exchange, and social inequality. Hoof Beats transforms our understanding of both horses and humanity's ancient past and asks us to consider what our relationship with horses means for the future of humanity and the world around us.
