Sinopsis

Secrets of Clay explores the profound role of clay and pottery in shaping early human societies. It reveals how the manipulation of this simple material drove not only technological advancements but also served as a fundamental medium for artistic expression and communication. Early humans, using readily available clay, crafted everything from functional pottery to intricate sculptures. The development of ceramic technologies, like kiln-firing, highlights early human ingenuity.

 
The book progresses chronologically, starting with archaeological discoveries of early figurines and pottery, then examining the evolution of ceramic techniques across diverse cultures. Each chapter meticulously analyzes artifacts, their production methods, and their cultural significance, illustrating the shift from functional objects to those imbued with symbolic meaning.

 
The book emphasizes the cultural significance of artifacts, revealing how pottery shards offer insights into early human diets and trade networks. Ultimately, Secrets of Clay argues that the mastery of clay represents a tangible manifestation of early human innovation, laying the foundation for later advancements in various fields. It presents a compelling narrative for anyone interested in the intersection of art, history, and archaeology, providing a comprehensive yet accessible exploration of clay's enduring legacy.

    A lively new translation of Plutarch’s charming and timeless essay on how to be a good listener—and why listening is essential to learning and living wellListening is a skill—even an art—and it’s essential to learning and to life. Indeed, as Plutarch writes in How to Listen, “listening well is the foundation for living well.” In this volume, Jeffrey Beneker presents a vivid and accessible new translation of Plutarch’s classic essay about how to become a skilled listener, complete with an inviting introduction and the original Greek on facing pages.Plutarch is most famous as the author of Parallel Lives, a series of biographies of Greek and Roman statesmen. But he was also an expert on teaching and learning and How to Listen is arguably one of his best pedagogical works. A proponent of active listening well before its time, Plutarch explains the skills we need—and the obstacles and distractions we must overcome—to become effective listeners. Good listening requires, above all, an acknowledgement of our own ignorance in certain subjects and a commitment to gaining knowledge. We must set aside pride and envy so we can respect the expertise of others. We must also train ourselves to see through style and focus on substance, to discriminate between weak and strong arguments, and to criticize ideas fairly and accurately.Filled with shrewd insights and advice, How to Listen shows how to cultivate a skill that everyone who wants to learn and live well must master.

    Urban crime is a complex and pervasive issue that affects millions of people across the globe. As cities continue to grow and evolve, the challenges of maintaining safety and reducing criminal activity become more pressing. Urban areas, often characterized by dense populations, diverse social dynamics, and limited resources, can create an environment where crime thrives. These cities face a unique set of circumstances that contribute to the rise of criminal activities, ranging from petty theft to violent crimes. The relationship between urban crime and safety is multifaceted and requires a comprehensive understanding of its causes, impact, and the strategies necessary for effective crime prevention. 
    The rise in urban crime can be attributed to several factors, including social inequality, economic disparity, inadequate law enforcement, and environmental design issues. High levels of poverty, unemployment, and lack of education in certain neighborhoods often serve as breeding grounds for criminal behavior. In many urban centers, individuals with limited opportunities turn to crime as a means of survival or social mobility. The breakdown of social networks and a lack of community cohesion further exacerbate these challenges, making it difficult to foster a sense of security and mutual trust among residents. 
    Urban crime also places a significant strain on local law enforcement and public resources. Police departments are often overwhelmed by the volume and diversity of crimes that occur in cities. Additionally, urban environments may present logistical challenges for law enforcement agencies, such as limited manpower, insufficient technology, and high crime concentrations in certain areas. This can lead to delayed responses, reduced effectiveness, and strained relations between law enforcement and the communities they serve.

    Black Panther is one of the most financially successful and culturally impactful films to emerge from the American film industry in recent years. When it was released in 2018 it broke numerous records and resonated with audiences all around the world. In Black Panther: Interrogating a Cultural Phenomenon, author Terence McSweeney explores the film from a diverse range of perspectives, seeing it as not only a comic book adaptation and a superhero film, but also a dynamic contribution to the discourse of both African and African American studies. 
     
     
     
    McSweeney argues that Black Panther is one of the defining American films of the last decade and the most remarkable title in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The MCU has become the largest film franchise in the history of the medium and has even shaped the contours of the contemporary blockbuster, but the narratives within it have almost exclusively perpetuated largely unambiguous fantasies of American heroism and exceptionalism. In contrast, Black Panther complicates this by engaging in an entirely different mythos in its portrayal of an African nation—never colonized by Europe—as the most powerful and technologically advanced in the world. McSweeney charts how and why Black Panther became a cultural phenomenon and also a battleground on which a war of meaning was waged at a very particular time in American history.
