Sinopse

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.

Theft of India The: The European...

Roy Moxham

In the three centuries that followed Vasco da Gama's discovery of the sea route from Europe to India, European powers made a beeline for India's fabled riches, its spices, gold and gems. Though they ostensibly came for trade and commerce, and the thrill of discovering a new land, the lines between exploration and exploitation soon blurred. The Theft of India documents the intense rivalry for spoils that played out between the British, the French, the Dutch and the Portuguese, and the impact this had on the Indians. Roy Moxham's work, though, is no dry study of textual materials. He supplements these accounts with an exhaustive study of academic works on the subject. The result is an unflattering picture of the 'civilized' West as it systematically strips India of its riches. The Theft of India is a nuanced, important and highly readable addition to the study of imperialism and its dehumanizing effects on the colonized.

Allow Me to Interrupt - A...

PhD Gilly Kahn

For many women, the lack of knowledge surrounding ADHD's unique presentation in their lives has led to feeling misunderstood, criticized, frustrated, and alone. Female biology is complicated, and the mainstream understanding of ADHD often simplifies a condition that isn't simple.One thing we are quickly learning about ADHD in women is that the role of emotions and emotion dysregulation have been underemphasized in the ADHD criteria. Think about it: If it's hard to control our behavior, it will, by default, be hard to control our emotional responses. And this relationship is amplified for girls, who are more susceptible to anxiety and depression than boys.Allow Me to Interrupt takes a deep dive into the most unjustifiably underrecognized ADHD symptom: emotion dysregulation. In an effort to educate, inspire, and support other women with ADHD, clinical psychologist and writer, Dr. Gilly Kahn, shares other women's and girls' ADHD stories along with her own.As women with ADHD, we are misunderstood, underappreciated, and unidentified. But it isn't too late to interrupt the status quo, correct misperceptions, and describe the very real emotional lives of girls and women with ADHD.
