Beschreibung

"Akkadian Empire" explores the rise and fall of the world's first empire in Mesopotamia, led by Sargon of Akkad. It examines how Sargon consolidated power from fragmented city-states through military strategies and administrative innovations, impacting Mesopotamian society and culture. The book argues that the Akkadian Empire's success hinged on balancing centralized control with regional autonomy, a balance disrupted by internal rebellions, external pressures, and environmental changes. Intriguingly, the empire standardized cuneiform script and integrated diverse religious traditions, showcasing its cultural influence. The book progresses by first examining the pre-Akkadian socio-political landscape, then delving into the Akkadian dynasty and its influence. Finally, it analyzes the factors leading to the empire's collapse. Drawing on cuneiform texts, archaeological finds, and environmental data, the book integrates environmental history with traditional political and social history, offering new insights into the complex interplay of factors that led to the Akkadian Empire's demise. By understanding the dynamics of this early empire, readers can gain valuable insights into state formation, imperial administration, and the consequences of political and environmental decisions.

    The Seminole tribe is one of the best known Native American tribes, and one of the most feared among 19th century Americans and Spaniards. In fact, the origin of the term Seminole comes from a Spanish description of them as “wild”, which belies the fact that the Seminole had friendly relations with the British and Spanish during the colonial era.  
    	To appreciate Seminole Native American mythology, their history and origins must be understood. Their forebears, the Muscogee, first migrated into what is now the Southeastern United States from various points in the north and west, which they accomplished by overpowering the indigenous inhabitants. The region was already occupied by several groups, including the Yuchi and Hitchiti, tribes that were likely descendants of the Moundbuilders. These tribes were subdued and then integrated into the Muscogee system. Thus, the traditions, beliefs, rituals, and mythologies of these various groups became the communal belief system of the Muscogee collective.  	 
    	According to the Muscogee, humans emerged “somewhere in the west,” a location described as the “foundation of all things” or the “backbone” of the Earth. Most scholars associate this location with the Rocky Mountains, and they credit the Four Corners area of the United States as being the location for the creation myths of Native American groups like the Pueblo. Though still not commonly understood, Breathmaker became the creator god of the Seminole peoples (the name is also written as Breath Maker and Maker of Breath), and he became the center of a cycle of creation stories.

    In a culture divided by race, identity, and competing ideologies, One Blood delivers a bold, biblical response to one of today’s most divisive issues. 
     
    In this fully updated and expanded edition, Ken Ham goes beyond surface-level solutions to uncover the true root of racism. Starting in Genesis, he traces humanity to our shared origin in Adam and Eve and reveals that there is only one human race, united both biologically and biblically. 
     
    With compelling insight from genetics, history, and theology, Ham explains how evolutionary thinking helped fuel racial division and why modern cultural solutions continue to fall short. He then points readers to the only foundation that restores true unity, dignity, and identity: the truth of God’s Word and the saving gospel of Jesus Christ. 
     
    Building on One Race, One Blood, this revised edition includes updated cultural analysis, expanded content, and fresh application for today’s rapidly shifting worldview landscape. 
     
    Inside, you’ll discover:Why modern science confirms there is only one human raceHow evolutionary ideas historically contributed to racism and divisionWhat Scripture teaches about human identity, value, and unityWhy cultural solutions alone cannot solve racismA clear, gospel-centered answer that brings lasting hope 
     
    Direct, thought-provoking, and deeply relevant, One Blood equips believers to stand confidently on biblical truth in today’s cultural conversations.

    As a result of vaccines and various other “modern” medical topics, autism has become more common than ever. Autism has become more broadly known or understood, at least to some degree. In the last 10 years, research has discovered high-function autism, which was never before believed to be autism. In the Dealing with Autism series, you will learn about the “root” problem autistics deal with, how to spot it, and how to teach your loved one how to overcome it. As a high-function autistic with nearly 20 years in education, I was able to create a lesson plan, which I originally designed for myself. Due to the exceptional outcome of following my own program, people no longer believe I am autistic. Dealing with Autism series is written in everyday language, so anyone can understand and follow. By the entire support group following this program, the loved one will reach new heights. Follow the entire series to see the most improvement in your loved one. This has two parts. One is for the family and support group, while the other is for the person with autism which is communicated in the "black and white" picture that autistics understand.

    GILLIAN BICKLEY was born and educated in the UK and has lived mainly in Hong Kong since 1970. The poems in Sightings are on Hong Kong, European and personal subjects, accessible to many readers, both young and old. They consider what it is like to be a human being in this modern world, drawing inspiration mainly from the people whom the writer has encountered, especially in Hong Kong. 
    An academic turned full-time writer, editor and publisher, Gillian invites readers and listeners to share her enjoyment of city and country, simple and complex ideas and events, and her empathy with the largely innocent people she has come across. In her trademark transparent style, she draws on events, happenings, creatures, artefacts and objects she has seen, and on places and people she has experienced in Asia, Europe, North America and Africa, as well as on stimulating and memorable books she has read.  
    "She has made use of everyday life situations and turned them into life lessons. Sightings inspires us to slow down and taste the sense of the city."— Ma Kwai Hung, Hong Kong. 
    "The poems in Sightings are witty, poignant, full of memorable images and insights and a total delight." — Professor Ken Pickering 
    "Sightings conveys playfulness and ironic humour. The writer displays, 'a strong ethical sense and a constant and engaging lyricism'." —Marion Bethel, Bahamian poet 
    Bickley has, "a talent for turning the stuff of ordinary life into poetry. She continually surprises and delights by making fresh connections between seemingly disparate situations". — Mrs Margaret Clarke, Oxfordshire. 
    "Gillian Bickley walks around the world with her eyes open, relishing the phenomena she passes".— Harry Guest, Honorary University Fellow, University of Exeter, UK (from his 'Preface' to Sightings).

    The first Christians were weird. Just how weird is often lost on today's believers. 
     
     
     
    Within Roman society, the earliest Christians stood out for the oddness of their beliefs and practices. They believed unusual things, worshiped God in strange ways, and lived a unique lifestyle. They practiced a whole new way of thinking about and doing religion that would have been seen as bizarre and dangerous when compared to Roman religion and most other religions of the ancient world. 
     
     
     
    Award-winning author, blogger, speaker, and New Testament teacher Nijay Gupta traces the emerging Christian faith in its Roman context in this accessible and engaging book. Christianity would have been seen as radical in the Roman world, but some found this new religion attractive and compelling. The first Christians dared to be different, pushed the boundaries of what was acceptable, transformed how people thought about religion, and started a movement that grew like wildfire. This book shows how the example of the earliest Christians can offer today's believers encouragement and hope.
