Sinopsis

Ancient Reliefs explores the fascinating world of ancient relief sculpture, revealing how civilizations used carved stone to communicate complex narratives and preserve their histories. These reliefs, adorning temples and palaces, offer invaluable insights into the beliefs, rituals, and daily lives of societies like ancient Egypt and Assyria. The book uniquely interprets these artworks not merely as decorative pieces, but as primary historical documents.

 
The study of relief sculpture provides key understandings of ancient cultures. For example, the evolution of carving techniques, from sunk relief to high relief, reflects a civilization's artistic sensibilities and technological capabilities. Furthermore, deciphering the narratives within these reliefs reveals stories of military campaigns, religious ceremonies, royal lineages, and daily life, offering a rich, visual historical record.

 
The book progresses by first introducing the fundamentals of relief sculpture, including types, materials, and tools. It then delves into case studies from ancient Egypt, Assyria, Greece, and Rome, analyzing artistic styles, historical contexts, and narrative content. By combining art historical analysis with historical interpretation, Ancient Reliefs provides a fresh perspective on understanding ancient civilizations through their art.

Resisters - How Ordinary Jews...

Wolf Gruner

Drawing on twelve years of research in dozens of archives in Austria, Germany, Israel, and the United States, this book tells the story of five Jewish people—a merchant, a homemaker, a real estate broker, and two teenagers—who bravely resisted persecution and defended themselves in Nazi Germany. These stories have not been told until now, and each case is one of many, as Gruner shows by resurfacing similar accounts of Jewish refusal to accept persecution and violence in Germany and Austria between 1933 and 1943, upending the notion of passive Jews, and expanding the concept of resistance. 
 
 
  
Each individual described here represents a category of resistance: written opposition, oral protest, contesting Nazi propaganda, defiance of anti-Jewish laws and measures, and self-defense against physical attacks. Many of these courageous acts resulted in the resisters being prosecuted and put on trial, and often receiving harsh punishments, while some led to acquittal by courts and others to changes in Nazi policies. Taken together, these accounts reframe our understanding of German Jewish attitudes during the Holocaust, while also providing an astonishing examination of the complex Nazi reactions to the many individual acts of Jewish resistance.

Tank Warfare on the Eastern...

Robert A. Forczyk

The German panzer armies that swept into the Soviet Union in 1941 were an undefeated force that had honed their skill in combined arms warfare to a fine edge. The Germans focused their panzers and tactical air support at points on the battlefield defined as Schwerpunkt—main effort—to smash through any defensive line and then advance to envelope their adversaries. 
 
 
 
Initially, these methods worked well in the early days of Operation Barbarossa and the tank forces of the Red Army suffered defeat after defeat. Although badly mauled in the opening battles, the Red Army's tank forces did not succumb to the German armored onslaught and German planning and logistical deficiencies led to over-extension and failure in 1941. In the second year of the invasion, the Germans directed their Schwerpunkt toward the Volga and the Caucasus and again achieved some degree of success, but the Red Army had grown much stronger and by November 1942, the Soviets were able to turn the tables at Stalingrad. 
 
 
 
Robert Forczyk's incisive study offers fresh insight into how the two most powerful mechanized armies of WWII developed their tactics and weaponry during the early years of the Russo-German War. He uses German, Russian, and English sources to provide the first comprehensive overview and analysis of armored warfare from the German and Soviet perspectives.

Acceptance and Commitment...

Vivian Westlake

Life is a complex tapestry of joys, sorrows, successes, and challenges. As humans, we often find ourselves striving to avoid discomfort, suppressing unpleasant emotions, or seeking control over our inner struggles. Yet, these strategies often lead to frustration and a sense of disconnection from what truly matters. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy offers a compelling alternative: a way to embrace life’s full spectrum while committing to actions that align with your values and aspirations.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy is a modern behavioral therapy rooted in the principle of psychological flexibility—the ability to adapt to changing circumstances, remain present, and take meaningful actions even in the face of adversity. Instead of battling unwanted thoughts and emotions, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy encourages acceptance of them as natural elements of human existence. This shift in perspective allows individuals to redirect their energy from avoidance to engagement, fostering a sense of purpose and fulfillment.
The framework of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy is built around six core processes: acceptance, cognitive defusion, mindfulness, self-as-context, values clarification, and committed action. These processes are not isolated steps but interconnected skills that work together to enhance well-being. Acceptance teaches you to make room for difficult emotions without judgment or resistance. Cognitive defusion helps you view your thoughts with clarity, reducing their power to dominate your actions. Mindfulness anchors you in the present moment, while self-as-context fosters a stable and compassionate sense of self. Values clarification identifies what truly matters to you, and committed action translates those values into meaningful, goal-directed behavior.
