Sinopsis

First Cities explores the dawn of urban life, examining how humans transitioned from nomadic existence to settled urbanism in regions like Mesopotamia and the Yellow River Valley. The book investigates the environmental and socio-political factors that shaped these early cities, highlighting innovations in urban planning and social organization. Intriguingly, the shift to urban living wasn't just about settlement; it fundamentally restructured human society, impacting social hierarchies and resource allocation.

 
The book progresses systematically, first analyzing the environmental conditions that enabled the rise of cities, such as fertile river valleys. It then presents detailed case studies of early urban centers like Uruk and Erlitou, exploring their layouts, architecture, and governance. By combining archaeological evidence, textual sources, and comparative studies, First Cities offers a comprehensive look at the challenges and legacies of these nascent metropolises.

    A U.S. Army Air Corps general recounts his service in the Mediterranean during World War II.“This book richly details life in a fighter squadron. Readers will learn new details and gain a better understanding of the daily experience outside of the intense combat environment. It is well worth reading this contribution to World War II oral history.” —The Journal of America's Military PastOn December six, 1941, despite his objections, James Lynch was discharged from the Army for being over age in grade. After the terrible events at Pearl Harbor, James Lynch was recalled to duty. Within a month he was part of the Air Corps, involved in a secret project to send air support to help General Montgomery and the Eighth Army. He joined the nucleus of officers in charge of the 64th Fighter Squadron, 57th Fighter Group. For the next thirty-three months, he fought across the top of Africa and then up through Italy. The 57th Fighter Group arrived in Egypt just in time for the battle at El Alamein. How the United States was able to get the pink-winged P-40s to the battlefield baffled the Germans for many years. The Black Scorpions chased the Afrika Corps across the top of Africa, culminating in the Palm Sunday massacre where the Squadron helped shoot down seventy-four planes in a single engagement. For the Italian campaign, the Black Scorpions switched from P-40s to P-47s, changing from fighters to bombers and disrupting the German and Italian lines up the Italian Peninsula.Through all the battles, including a battle with an erupting Mount Vesuvius, James Lynch kept an unauthorized diary. He also collected daily intelligence reports, newspaper stories, souvenirs, pictures, and letters from home. After the war he reminisced with fellow soldiers about their experiences, and eventually felt it was time to write the story of the Black Scorpions—this book is the result.“One of the most captivating WWII aviation memoirs thus far published.” —ARGunners.com

    “The Story of Santa Claus” is a delightful story about a young man who lives in his little wooden house and loves to make children happy by making them toys. Claus likes to carry his sack full of dolls, drums, horns, and wooden animals, and walk to the village passing out toys to children along the way. When winter comes, Claus is not able to walk to the village anymore. One day Claus meets magic deer that encourage him to make a sleigh so they can pull him across the snow into the nearby town. When Claus arrives in the village everyone is sleeping. So the deer carry Claus, and the sleigh, to the rooftop so Claus can climb down the chimney to deliver presents. And so it continues that on every Christmas Eve, with a sack full of toys, and reindeer to pull his sleigh, Santa Claus delivers presents to every little girl and boy.
