Summary

Lost Ancient Cities explores the captivating histories of metropolises swallowed by time, revealing their stories through archaeology and historical accounts. The book examines the geographical, sociopolitical, and environmental elements that influenced these civilizations' rise and decline, offering insights into sustainable development and societal resilience. Discover how some cities were lost to natural disasters, like potential climate shifts that mirror current environmental concerns, while others succumbed to sociopolitical upheaval, such as wars or internal conflicts.

 
The book is structured into three sections, beginning with an introduction to the concept of "lost cities," then delving into specific case studies categorized by the reasons for their abandonment or concealment. Archaeological findings, ancient texts, and environmental data combine to illustrate each city's history and cultural significance. The book uniquely integrates these diverse sources, offering a comprehensive understanding of each city's trajectory.

 
Ultimately, Lost Ancient Cities connects the past to the present, providing valuable lessons for contemporary society. The book uses varied historical examples to highlight recurring patterns of growth, innovation, and collapse across cultures. By studying these forgotten urban centers, readers can gain critical perspectives on urban sustainability, disaster preparedness, and the preservation of our collective cultural heritage.

    From #1 international bestselling author, speaker, and humanitarian Dave Pelzer comes the next chapter in his life—how, after spending decades saving others in the military, as a fire captain, and an internationally acclaimed advocate, he needs to confront a way to save himself. 
     
    On the surface, Dave Pelzer’s life seems like an action movie—he’s walked the red carpet with celebrities and stood shoulder to shoulder with soldiers in Iraq; he’s flown top-secret missions for the U.S. Air Force, obtaining the rank of chief, and battled wildfires in California as a volunteer fire captain.  
    And now—on the eve of the 50-year anniversary of this rescue from horrific childhood of abuse and into the safety of the foster care system—he reflects on the battles he’s fighting in his own heart. From a lifetime spent serving and saving others, can he learn how to serve and save himself?  
     
    Banished to his basement at age five, Dave Pelzer had cried a river of tears before most children learned to tie their shoes. His now classic books, A Child Called “It”and The Lost Boy, chronicled how he was brutally beaten and starved by his emotionally unstable, alcoholic mother: a mother who nearly  
    killed him multiple times. But despite the odds stacked against him, he rose to become a #1 New York Times bestselling author, inspirational speaker, and internationally recognized humanitarian. 
     
    After fighting for years to vanquish his pain and to channel it into service forothers, Pelzer sifts through the psychological rubbl e of a life that has seemingly crumbled around him. What he shares is deeply transformative and unflinchingly honest. In his struggle to simply survive, he never learned how  
    to just be. Reeling from the loss of a love—and a broken spirit—Pelzer must reconcile his life choices and free himself of blame and shame to find peace and renewed purpose.  
     
    Amidst the towering redwood trees and the serenity of his childhood utopia of the Russian River, Pelzer reflects on having the courage to move forward in your life, the peace to accept yourself, the vulnerability to strip yourself of facades, and to find the tenacity to carry on when life doesn’t turn out the  
    way you planned. 
     
    For anyone who has been hurt, victimized, or feels alone, there is hope and there is always a way to rewrite your own story. Pelzer’s soulful and inspiring story will remind you to keep your faith, live with gratitude, and find the well of resilience deep within you.  
     
    Don't miss Dave's special message at the end of the audiobook!

This conversation is necessary in order to heal, grow and find the love meant for you.

    Nairobi, Kenya’s capital, is a rambling traffic-choked metropolis, bursting at the seams with people striving to earn a living on its mean streets. While Nairobi has every appearance of a fast-growing, modern African city with the mushrooming skyscrapers and superhighways, the city possesses a dark underbelly. Dog Meat Samosa delves into the bowels of Nairobi’s crowded urban backstreets to paint a gritty picture of its underworld, to describe the human experience within this once glorious “City in the Sun” that has since metamorphosed into a cutthroat hustlers’ paradise.
