Sinopsis

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.

Among the Living and the Dead -...

Inara Verzemnieks

"It's long been assumed of the region where my grandmother was born . . . that at some point each year the dead will come home," Inara Verzemnieks writes in this exquisite story of war, exile, and reconnection. Her grandmother's stories recalled one true home: the family farm left behind in Latvia, where, during WWII, her grandmother Livija and her grandmother's sister, Ausma, were separated. They would not see each other again for more than fifty years. Raised by her grandparents in Washington State, Inara grew up among expatriates, scattering smuggled Latvian sand over the coffins of the dead, singing folk songs about a land she had never visited. 
 
 
 
When Inara discovers the scarf Livija wore when she left home, in a box of her grandmother's belongings, this tangible remnant of the past points the way back to the remote village where her family broke apart. There it is said the suspend their exile once a year for a pilgrimage through forests and fields to the homes they left behind. Coming to know Ausma and the trauma of her exile to Siberia under Stalin, Inara pieces together Livija's survival through years as a refugee. Weaving these two parts of the family story together in spellbinding, lyrical prose, she gives us a profound and cathartic account of loss, survival, resilience, and love.

The Alice Crimmins Case

Anais Renevier

New York, Summer of 1965. 
 
 
 
One hot summer, two young children disappeared from their first-floor apartment in the Kew Gardens neighborhood of Queens, New York. Their mother, Alice Crimmins, reported them missing to the police. Later that day, the body of four-year-old Missy was found in a vacant lot, showing signs of having been strangled. The body of five-year-old Eddie, Jr., was found several days later. 
 
 
 
Police were immediately suspicious of the mother. Recently divorced, with teased red hair and heavy makeup, Alice Crimmins did not fit the maternal ideal held by the predominantly Catholic police detectives on the case. Her every action was scrutinized: Was she behaving like a grief-stricken mother or like a coldhearted killer? After three years of police surveillance, Alice was charged with the murder of her children in 1968 in a highly publicized trial. Ultimately found guilty of manslaughter, Alice spent a decade in prison before being released on parole in 1977. 
 
 
 
But was she truly guilty, or just the victim of police bias and misogynistic judgment? Journalist Anaïs Renevier revisits the case, exploring one of the most famous and divisive trials in recent American history.
