Sinossi

In 'The Land of the Hittites,' John Garstang presents a comprehensive exploration of the Hittite civilization, drawing from archaeological findings and ancient texts to illuminate this once-misunderstood society of the ancient Near East. Garstang's scholarly yet accessible prose delves into various aspects of Hittite life, including politics, religion, and daily customs, framed within the broader context of Near Eastern history. His meticulous attention to detail and methodical approach provide a vivid reconstruction of Hittite society, making significant contributions to the understanding of their influence on neighboring cultures, especially during the second millennium BCE. John Garstang, a prominent British archaeologist and historian, became deeply acquainted with Hittite studies through extensive fieldwork in Turkey and a passion for ancient civilizations. His background in archaeology, along with his knowledge of the region's languages and histories, uniquely equipped him to piece together the fragmented evidence left by the Hittites and offer new insights into their societal frameworks. Garstang's expertise and dedication to empirical research have firmly placed him in the annals of archaeological scholarship. This book is highly recommended for scholars, students, and anyone interested in ancient history. Garstang's engaging narrative and scholarly rigor make 'The Land of the Hittites' not only a vital academic resource but also a captivating read that sheds light on a pivotal yet often overlooked chapter in human history.

Puerto Rico - What Everyone...

Jorge Duany

Acquired by the United States from Spain in 1898, Puerto Rico has a peculiar status among Latin American and Caribbean countries. Though they are US citizens, Puerto Ricans do not have their own voting representatives in Congress and cannot vote in presidential elections (although they are able to participate in the primaries). In recent years, Puerto Rico's colossal public debt sparked an economic crisis that catapulted it onto the national stage and intensified the exodus to the US, bringing to the fore many of the unresolved remnants of its colonial history. 
 
 
 
Beginning with a historical overview of Puerto Rico, Duany covers the Spanish colonial period (1493-1898) and the first five decades of the US colonial regime. He then delves into the demographic, economic, political, and cultural features of contemporary Puerto Rico. New material examines the multiple issues affecting Puerto Rico in the last decade, including a prolonged recession, the devastating impact of two hurricanes, and the largest migrant wave ever recorded from Puerto Rico. 
 
 
 
While a popular tourist destination, few beyond Puerto Rico's shores are familiar with its complex history and diverse culture. Duany takes on the task of educating readers on the most important facets of the unique, troubled, but much beloved isla del encanto.

Lincoln - A Very Short Introduction

Allen C. Guelzo

Beneath the surface of the apparently untutored and deceptively frank Abraham Lincoln ran private tunnels of self-taught study, a restless philosophical curiosity, and a profound grasp of the fundamentals of democracy. Now, in Lincoln: A Very Short Introduction, the award-winning Lincoln authority Allen C. Guelzo offers a penetrating look into the mind of one of our greatest presidents. 
 
 
 
Guelzo takes us on a wide-ranging exploration of problems that confronted Lincoln and liberal democracy—equality, opportunity, the rule of law, slavery, freedom, peace, and his legacy. The Lincoln we meet here is an Enlightenment figure who struggled to create a common ground between a people focused on individual rights and a society eager to establish a certain moral, philosophical, and intellectual bedrock. Lincoln insisted that liberal democracy had a higher purpose, which was the realization of a morally right political order. But how to interject that sense of moral order into a system that values personal self-satisfaction—"the pursuit of happiness"—remains a fundamental dilemma even today. 
 
 
 
Guelzo paints a marvelous portrait of this Lincoln—Lincoln the man of ideas—providing new insights into one of the giants of American history.

FIX - An Untold Story of...

Kevin Luke

As a college dropout and part-time restaurant worker in downtown Toronto, Kevin is stuck in a rut. He wanders the city aimlessly and lives a solitary life while his mental health steadily declines. After reconnecting with an old college crush, he gets strung along by her once again while simultaneously getting initiated into an underground group of pickup artists promising him a remedy for his romantic frustration. Kevin comes out of his shell for what feels like the first time, giving up self-control to his newfound identity. He meets new people, learns how to seduce women, and lives what appears to be an exciting, City Boy life. That is until this emotionally confusing process stimulates a thoroughly destructive addictive personality. 
FIX: An Untold Story of Obsession, Seduction, Addiction, & Despair is the memoir of author Kevin Luke's time spiraling into self-destruction through ruminating on feelings of anxiety, guilt, and suicidal ideation, all while managing his high-functioning mania. 
Sourced from old journal entries and audio recordings left as streams of consciousness meant only for himself, Kevin wrote this book during a cathartic frenzy amid his darkest depressive episode experienced in years. A rare insight into the untreated bipolar mind, readers now get a voyeuristic glimpse into the author's scattered quest for self-improvement.
