Synopsis

"Unexpected Lost Treasures" embarks on a historical adventure, investigating the enduring allure of real, undiscovered artifacts and riches. The book argues that the search for these lost items transcends mere monetary gain, representing a quest to understand human history and civilization.

 
Consider the Flor de la Mar, a Portuguese ship lost in 1511 while carrying a vast treasure, or the Amber Room, the lavish chamber stolen during World War II. These stories, and others, offer potential keys to unlocking new perspectives on trade routes, artistic achievements, and pivotal historical events.

 
The book weaves together maritime, art, and military history to provide a comprehensive context for these mysteries. Starting with a definition of what constitutes a significant lost treasure, the narrative progresses through specific examples, detailing their histories and the ongoing searches.

 
By exploring historical documents, archaeological reports, and eyewitness accounts, "Unexpected Lost Treasures" presents factual information in an accessible and engaging manner, much like a historical mystery. The narrative acknowledges the speculative nature of some claims, focusing on well-documented cases where rediscovery remains plausible.

    Modern Man ~ Neanderthal with Manners 
    Poem about the comparison of what it is to be a Modern man today. What it may have been yesterday, and what it 
    was to compare it to our relatively recent ancestors from just a hundred thousand years or so 
    - The Neanderthals. 
    Would they have been as cruel to their fellow beings as possibly we are today. What does it mean to be classified as 
    MODERN ! A modern Human ?

    The author of the New York Times bestseller Cinderella Ate My Daughter offers a clear-eyed picture of the new sexual landscape girls face in the post-princess stage—high school through college—and reveals how they are negotiating it. 
    A generation gap has emerged between parents and their girls. Even in this age of helicopter parenting, the mothers and fathers of tomorrow’s women have little idea what their daughters are up to sexually or how they feel about it. Drawing on in-depth interviews with over seventy young women and a wide range of psychologists, academics, and experts, renowned journalist Peggy Orenstein goes where most others fear to tread, pulling back the curtain on the hidden truths, hard lessons, and important possibilities of girls’ sex lives in the modern world. 
    While the media has focused—often to sensational effect—on the rise of casual sex and the prevalence of rape on campus, in Girls and Sex Peggy Orenstein brings much more to the table. She examines the ways in which porn and all its sexual myths have seeped into young people’s lives; what it means to be the “the perfect slut” and why many girls scorn virginity; the complicated terrain of hookup culture and the unfortunate realities surrounding assault. In Orenstein’s hands these issues are never reduced to simplistic “truths;” rather, her powerful reporting opens up a dialogue on a potent, often silent, subtext of American life today—giving readers comprehensive and in-depth information with which to understand, and navigate, this complicated new world.

    The Netherlands had a great century in the 1600s, until it all ended about three-fourths along the way. Trading was all around, business was good. Their vast empire that reached across the world made money from spices, raw materials, metals, and so much more, with an extensive network of ships, merchants, and an entire army fleet. 
    The Dutch Golden Era was a time in Dutch history varying circa from 1588 (the start of the Dutch Republic) to 1672 (the "Catastrophe Year"), throughout which Dutch trade, science, and art, and the Dutch armed force, were amongst the world's best. The Eighty Years' War, which ended in 1648, controls the first area. Throughout the Dutch Republic, the Golden era lasted till the end of the century, when pricey fights like the Franco-Dutch War and the War of the Spanish Succession stimulated financial decrease. 
    K. W. Swart, a historian, has called the Netherlands' change into the world's leading maritime and financial power the "Dutch Wonder." 
    In this book, you will learn all you need to know about this gigantic superpower that ruled a big part of the world for nearly an entire century: The Dutch Empire.

    Featuring long-awaited selections from Robert M. Pirsig's unpublished writings, from before and after Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance, an original collection illuminating the central theme of Pirsig's thought: “Quality” 
    “The ultimate goal in the pursuit of excellence is enlightenment."" —Robert M. Pirsig, 1962 
    More than a decade before the release of the book that would make him famous, Robert M. Pirsig had already caught hold of the central theme that would animate Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance: “Quality,” a concept loosely likened to “excellence,” “rightness,” or “fitness” that Pirsig saw as kindred to the Buddhist ideas of “dharma” or the “Tao.” As he later wrote in Zen, “Quality is the Buddha.” 
    Though he was revered by fans who considered him a guru, the famously private Pirsig published only two books and consented to few interviews and almost no public appearances in later decades. Yet he wrote and thought almost continually, refining his “Metaphysics of Quality” until his death in 2017. 
    Now, for the first time, readers will be granted access to five decades of Pirsig’s personal writings in this posthumous collection that illuminates the evolution of his thinking to an unprecedented degree. Skillfully edited and introduced by Wendy K. Pirsig, Robert’s wife of four decades, the collection includes previously unpublished texts, speeches, letters, interviews, and private notes, as well as key excerpts from Zen and the Art of the Motorcycle Maintenance and his second book, Lila. 
    Since its publication in 1974, Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance has established itself as a modern classic of popular philosophy; selling millions of copies and inspiring a generation, while serving as a perennial touchstone for the generations that follow. On Quality is a remarkable contribution to our understanding of one of the most influential thinkers and writers of our time.
