Beschreibung

"Lunar Cycles" explores the pivotal role of the moon in shaping ancient civilizations. From Mesopotamia to Egypt and China, the moon wasn't just a celestial body; it was a fundamental tool for timekeeping, agriculture, and religious practices. Ancient societies ingeniously used lunar cycles to create calendars, plan harvests, and structure their social lives. Intriguingly, the consistent phases of the moon provided a reliable framework for predicting seasonal changes, and some cultures even believed lunar phases directly influenced crop yields. 

 
The book examines lunar calendars and their impact on agriculture and religious ceremonies. It details how lunar cycles influenced ancient farmers' planting and harvesting decisions and how different cultures incorporated the moon into their mythology and worship. Through historical and archaeological evidence, "Lunar Cycles" argues that the moon was an active agent in human development, connecting history, astronomy, and anthropology to provide a holistic understanding.

 
Starting with an introduction to lunar cycles, the book progresses through the development of lunar calendars, the moon's influence on agriculture, and its role in religious practices, culminating in a discussion of its enduring legacy.

    A new assessment of the British and Commonwealth contribution to the defeat of Japan in the Pacific.
    
    The monumental struggle fought against Imperial Japan in the Asia/Pacific theater during World War II is primarily viewed as an American affair. While the United States did play a dominant role, the British and Commonwealth forces also made major contributions—on land, at sea and in the air, eventually involving over a million men and vast armadas of ships and aircraft. It was a difficult and often desperate conflict fought against a skilled and ruthless enemy that initially saw the British suffer the worst series of defeats ever to befall their armed forces. Still, the British persevered and slowly turned the tables on their Japanese antagonists. Fighting over an immense area that stretched from India in the west to the Solomon Islands in the east and Australia in the south to the waters off Japan in the north, British and Commonwealth forces eventually scored a string of stirring victories that avenged their earlier defeats and helped facilitate the demise of the Japanese Empire.
    
    Often overlooked by history, this substantial war effort is fully explored in Forgotten War. Meticulously researched, the book provides a complete, balanced and detailed account of the role that British and Commonwealth forces played on land, sea and in the air during this crucial struggle. It also provides unique analysis regarding the effectiveness and relevance of this collective effort and the contributions it made to the overall Allied victory.

    Investigating the unsolved murder of a female law student and the pervasive violence against Guatemalan women that drives migration. 
     
     
     
    Part memoir and part forensic investigation, Textures of Terror is a gripping first-person story of women, violence, and migration out of Guatemala—and how the United States is implicated. Accompanying Jorge Velásquez in a years-long search for answers after the brutal murder of his daughter Claudina Isabel, Victoria Sanford explores what it means to seek justice in "postconflict" countries where violence never ended. 
     
     
     
    Through this father's determined struggle and other stories of justice denied, Textures of Terror offers a deeper understanding of US policies in Latin America and their ripple effect on migration. Sanford offers an up-close appraisal of the inner workings of the Guatemalan criminal justice system and how it maintains inequality, patriarchy, and impunity. Presenting the stories of other women who have suffered at the hands of strangers, intimate partners, and the security forces, this work reveals the deeply gendered nature of power and violence in Guatemala.

    An investigation into the deaths of six Aboriginal women and the police responses that left families reeling 
      
    'If you think it's hard being a white woman in Australia, try being a black woman.' These were the words that set a team of journalists at the Adelaide Advertiser on an investigation into the tragic deaths of six young Indigenous women. 
    It was Courtney Hunter-Hebberman who uttered those words, up on stage at an International Women's Day event. A shocking number of Indigenous women die every year by murder or suicide, and Courtney's daughter, Rose, was one of them. Rose's apparent death by suicide at nineteen, in a backyard shed, had left her mother craving answers - answers the police seemed unable to give her. 
    Inspired by Courtney's courage and grief, the Advertiser team hoped to shed light on Rose's death and put Courtney's mind at rest. But what they found, as their investigation of one death rolled into another five, was disturbing. Lack of urgency, sloppy searches, poor communication, and assumptions by police were just some of the problems . 
    As the team probed further, even bigger questions about whether Indigenous Australians, especially women, are heard when they speak. 
    Based on the podcast Dying Rose, this is a compelling look at young Indigenous women's vulnerability to danger, and how, when their lives are cut short, their families are left to cope with a grief seemingly compounded by indifference.
