Synopsis

Aztec Empire explores the captivating ascent and dramatic collapse of the Aztec civilization in Mesoamerica. The book analyzes how a relatively obscure group rose to dominate the Valley of Mexico, building the impressive city of Tenochtitlan and establishing a complex society fueled by a powerful military and a sophisticated tribute system. Intriguingly, the Aztecs adapted and innovated upon the cultural and political foundations laid by earlier civilizations like the Olmec and Maya.

 
The book argues that the Aztec's expansion, driven by military dominance and economic strategies, ultimately became unsustainable due to internal issues and the arrival of the Spanish. The book examines the Aztec's military prowess, economic strategies, and the impact of the Spanish Conquest, providing a holistic view of their society.

 
It challenges simplistic narratives of conquest by emphasizing the complex interplay of factors that led to the empire's demise. Using archaeological evidence, codices, and Aztec and Spanish accounts, the book traces the Aztecs' origins, analyzes the structure of their military and tribute system, and examines the siege of Tenochtitlan.

 
The final chapter explores the enduring legacy of the Aztec Empire.

    “That’s the game my dear Lucette!”
    (What is happiness?)
    “Beef, the taste of being together.”
    (What is religion?)
    “Because you’re worth it.”
    (Who am I?)
    The “creators” of ads seem to be teaching us to live through the great “concepts” of philosophy, such as happiness, freedom, nature, the self or religion. But how many ounces of philosophy are there in this world of ads? That’s the question this book asks, without forgetting to include a dose of humor in its ingredients.

    Gautam Sachdeva first visited the Advaita sage Ramesh Balsekar in February 2000, and has been attending his talks ever since. Over a period of eight years, he also found himself taking on the role of a publisher, working intimately with Ramesh in the process of publishing some of his books. In May 2007, Gautam wrote an article in Life Positive, India’s leading spiritual magazine, as a tribute to Ramesh on his 90th birthday. With the heartwarming response from readers to this article, and Ramesh’s suggestion to make it into a booklet, he then put down what he considered the core of the teaching as presented by Ramesh – to seekers from all over the world – in his morning talks. Most of Ramesh’s books have been published from his original hand-written notes, or are transcripts of dialogues with seekers. This book is a summation of the core concepts in the “spoken word” of Ramesh, as if he were walking the seeker through his entire teaching in one morning talk. This is what Pointers from Ramesh Balsekar is about – pointers to dealing with life’s situations, its pleasures and pains, with equanimity and peace of mind – from one of the world’s leading Advaita sages.

    Mexican Magic shares spells and recipes deeply rooted in Mexican folk beliefs and magic. “Some are born with a star, while others are born starry.”   This dicho (saying) refers to the Mexican belief that good luck is a matter of fate—something you are born with or not. Mexicans traditionally attribute their good or bad luck to a greater force, to God’s will, even to the stars in the sky. Being born with a star is a blessing.   While some gain their luck through fate, Laura Davila believes even more in faith, virtue, and purpose. Some people are born with a natural gift for magic, but many others are compelled toward magic by life experience. The best brujos and magical people are not those who necessarily started off in perfect circumstances but those who looked at magic as a skill to be mastered.  Mexican Magic offers an overview of magic and spells from across Mexico for daily use. Although the book’s spells may be practiced by anyone, they are deeply rooted in Mexican folk beliefs and magic. Featuring magical recipes, spells, tips, and advice for a wide variety of intentions, including love, lust, sex, good luck, money, protection, commerce, gambling, justice, pregnancy, travel, education, and more, Mexican Magic also offers direction on how to be a magical person and live a magical life.

    Shakespeare's White Others

    Examining the racially white 'others' whom Shakespeare creates in characters like Richard III, Hamlet, and Tamora—figures who are never quite 'white enough'—this bold and compelling work emphasizes how such classification perpetuates anti-Blackness and reaffirms white supremacy. David Sterling Brown offers nothing less here than a wholesale deconstruction of whiteness in Shakespeare's plays, arguing that the 'white other' was a racialized category already in formation during the Elizabethan era—and also one to which Shakespeare was himself a crucial contributor. In exploring Shakespeare's determinative role and strategic investment in identity politics (while drawing powerfully on his own life experiences, including adolescence), the author argues that even as Shakespearean theatrical texts functioned as engines of white identity formation, they expose the illusion of white racial solidarity. This essential contribution to Shakespeare studies, critical whiteness studies, and critical race studies is an authoritative, urgent dismantling of dramatized racial profiling.
