Synopsis

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.

    A close look at failed US policies in the Middle East, offering a fresh perspective on how best to reorient goals in the region 
     
     
      
    In this book Alexandra Stark argues that the US approach to Yemen offers insights into the failures of American foreign policy throughout the Middle East. Stark makes the case that despite often being drawn into conflicts within Yemen, the United States has not achieved its policy goals because it has narrowly focused on counterterrorism and regional geopolitical competition rather than on the well-being of Yemenis themselves. She offers recommendations designed to reorient US policy in the Middle East in pursuit of US national security interests and to support the people of these countries in their efforts to make their own communities safe, secure, and prosperous.
