Sinopsis

"Hittite Diplomacy" explores the sophisticated diplomatic practices of the Hittite Empire in the ancient Near East, revealing how this Bronze Age kingdom rose to prominence through strategic negotiation and alliance-building. The book highlights the critical role of treaties in establishing vassal states and regulating international relations. It also examines how the Hittites skillfully managed conflicts using both military strength and diplomatic maneuvering, essential for their survival in a turbulent world. The book demonstrates that the Hittites developed an advanced diplomatic system that profoundly impacted the political structures of the ancient world. For instance, the famous Treaty of Kadesh with Egypt exemplifies their approach to resolving conflicts through negotiation rather than solely through warfare.

 
Organized into three parts, the book first introduces the principles of Hittite diplomacy, then examines case studies of Hittite interactions with major powers, and finally synthesizes these cases to provide a comprehensive overview of Hittite foreign policy. This approach offers a fresh perspective on Hittite diplomacy, emphasizing proactive strategies designed to shape the international environment.

Psychodynamic Therapy -...

Vivian Westlake

Psychodynamic therapy is an approach to psychological treatment rooted in the ideas and concepts developed by Sigmund Freud and his followers. It emphasizes the importance of unconscious processes and early childhood experiences in shaping an individual's thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. This therapy aims to bring these unconscious factors into conscious awareness, helping individuals gain insight and resolve internal conflicts that may be contributing to current psychological difficulties.
The history of psychodynamic therapy traces back to the early 20th century when Freud, a neurologist, developed his theories of the unconscious mind, defense mechanisms, and the structure of the psyche. Freud’s ideas on human development, sexuality, and the role of unconscious drives sparked both widespread debate and fascination, establishing the foundation for psychodynamic therapy. Over time, various schools of thought and modifications emerged within psychodynamic theory, influenced by key figures such as Carl Jung, Melanie Klein, and Erik Erikson. Despite these developments, the core principles of psychodynamic therapy remain grounded in understanding how unconscious thoughts and past experiences shape present behavior.
Central to psychodynamic therapy is the belief that much of human behavior is influenced by internal, unconscious forces. These forces are often formed in early childhood and can result in unresolved conflicts, repressed memories, or unmet emotional needs. By exploring these unconscious factors, psychodynamic therapy seeks to uncover hidden patterns and help individuals develop a deeper understanding of themselves. The therapeutic relationship itself plays a vital role in this process, as the dynamics between the therapist and the client often mirror significant interpersonal relationships from the client’s past.

The Rise of the West - A History...

William H. McNeill

“The most stimulating and fascinating book that has ever set out to recount and explain the whole history of mankind.” —H. R. Trevor-Roper, The New York Times Book ReviewThe Rise of the West, winner of the National Book Award for history in 1964, is famous for its ambitious scope and intellectual rigor. In it, McNeill challenges the Spengler-Toynbee view that a number of separate civilizations pursued essentially independent careers, and argues instead that human cultures interacted at every stage of their history. The author suggests that from the Neolithic beginnings of grain agriculture to the present major social changes in all parts of the world were triggered by new or newly important foreign stimuli, and he presents a persuasive narrative of world history to support this claim.In a retrospective essay titled “The Rise of the West after Twenty-five Years,” McNeill shows how his book was shaped by the time and place in which it was written (1954–63). He discusses how historiography subsequently developed and suggests how his portrait of the world’s past in The Rise of the West should be revised to reflect these changes.“The most lucid presentation of world history in narrative form that I know. While the story leads up to the predominance of the West in the modern age, it also takes full account of the expansion of civilization eastwards, as well as westwards, from its birthplace in the Fertile Crescent. I am sure that anyone who reads this book will gain from it a greater insight into the long and complicated historical process that has resulted in the world in which we are living today.” —Arnold Toynbee, author of A Study of History

Troubled by Faith - Insanity and...

Owen Davis

The birth of psychiatry in the early nineteenth-century fundamentally changed how madness was categorized and understood. A century on, their conceptions of mental illness continue to influence our views today. Beliefs and behavior were divided up into the pathological and the healthy. The influence of religion and the supernatural became significant measures of insanity in individuals, countries, and cultures. Psychiatrists not only thought they could transform society in the industrial age but also explain the many strange beliefs expressed in the distant past. Troubled by Faith explores these ideas about the supernatural across society through the prism of medical history. It is a story of how people continued to make sense of the world in supernatural terms, and how belief came to be a medical issue. This cannot be done without exploring the lives of those who found themselves in asylums because of their belief in ghosts, witches, angels, devils, and fairies, or because they thought themselves in divine communication or were haunted by modern technology. The beliefs expressed by asylum patients were not just an expression of their individual mental health, but also provide a unique reflection of society at the time—a world still steeped in the ideas and imagery of folklore and faith in a fast-changing world.
