Sinopsis

Minoan Society explores the fascinating world of the Minoans, a Bronze Age civilization that thrived on ancient Crete. This book delves into their daily life, economic systems, and spiritual beliefs, offering a comprehensive look at their unique culture.

 
The Minoans developed a sophisticated palatial economy, where palaces served as centers for storage, redistribution, and craft production, showcasing a complex societal structure.

 
Intriguingly, their religious practices centered on female deities, setting them apart from other Bronze Age cultures.

 
The book challenges previous interpretations, arguing that the Minoans were not merely a precursor to the Mycenaeans but a distinct civilization with a vibrant artistic tradition.

 
Examining archaeological finds from sites like Knossos and Akrotiri, alongside Linear A texts, it provides an updated perspective on Minoan life.

 
The book progresses by first introducing the geographical and chronological context, then exploring the economic foundations, delving into religious practices, and finally considering factors leading to their decline.

 
This approach connects Minoan society to broader themes of art history, religious studies, and economics.

    Villages of Poland hide the lost secrets of World War II 
     
     
     
    1944: Heavy footfalls thud on the road on a rainy May night. A band of gunmen scour a hilltop farm, acting on rumors that it harbors a Jewish family. For 18 months, the Rozeneks have been hiding safely, but their luck is about to run out. Only one from the family of six will live to see the sunrise. Sixteen-year-old Hena Rozenek shelters in the woods until morning . . . and then she runs. 
     
     
     
    Forty years later: Holocaust survivor Sam Rakowski Ron has lived in the United States for decades, never thinking he could return to the Polish village he fled as a teenager. But now he's ready to talk about what he heard, what he saw, and what he knows about two separate families of cousins who were his neighbors, and presumably were killed during the war. The story Poland presents to the world is that Poles saved more Jews than citizens of any other nation, that any murders in Poland were committed by Nazis and Nazis alone. But Sam, while defending his countrymen, suspects a painful truth. The stories he shares with his younger cousin, Judy, an investigative journalist, send them off on a decades-long journey unlike any other to find out what happened to the Rozenek family and ultimately reveal the secrets the Polish government is still desperate to keep.

    Artfully blending the genres of memoir and scientific research, Mother's Secret: A Nutritionist's View of Family and Alzheimer's Disease offers the compelling story of one woman's southern roots. She is familiar, perhaps like your mother or grandmother, a woman who gained strength during the upheavals of the Great Depression and World War II. Her independence served her well until dementia overwhelmed her and challenged her relationship with her daughters. 
    Sadly, the spread of progressive brain disorders is wider than the Mississippi River. Mother's Secret, a hybrid book confronting these issues, combines personal experiences with information about a healthful diet, the benefits of botanicals, and current discoveries about brain function. Walls' powerful story will resonate with families affected by Alzheimer's, students in holistic or social programs, those wanting to make better choices for their own cognitive health, and anyone who likes a good read. While looking directly at the realities of Alzheimer's, the narrative transcends the disease to reveal both the loss and the glory of this mother's life.

  • Samuel Colt and Oliver Winchester: The Lives and Careers of America’s Most Influential Gunsmiths - cover

    Samuel Colt and Oliver...

    Gunsmiths in early 19th century America were helped along by noted artisans from Germany, Switzerland, and other European powers, but despite advances made in the European and American musket, the requirement of an exterior spark and percussion to ignite powder for a single-shot discharge remained the paradigm. Similarly, the era was unable to move past the cumbersome weapon that required at least half a minute to reload. The military compensation for such an ungainly and vulnerable process was the alternation of troop lines, in which one fired while the other reloaded from behind. Effective as that was in laying down constant fire and simultaneous reloading, the force as a whole was disabled by a large fraction, and the reloading soldiers were vulnerable to saber attacks on horseback as well. 
    Trapped in the same technological rut as future wars drew near in the new century, Samuel Colt entered the pool of visionaries in search of the invention that would tip the power balance in favor of those who possessed it. As an observant child of the Industrial Revolution, Colt would ultimately lead the way with the most defining design changes in weaponry, and through constant trial and error, he gave the military what it wanted despite fierce resistance and apathy: an answer to the reloading conundrum.  
    	In the manner that Samuel Colt broke open the single-shot tradition in hand weapons, Oliver Fisher Winchester and his celebrated rifle shared the title of “the gun that won the West.” In the arena of portable arms, these two men dominated much of the technological and promotive aspects of 19th century weaponry, alternating between resisting and collaborating with rivals. While Colt created the first effective revolver mechanism for the handgun based on the technology of the ship’s wheel, it was Oliver Winchester who instituted 140 years of branding dominance by virtue of the first reliable repeating rifle.
