Beschreibung

Persian Roads explores the vital role of road networks in the Achaemenid Persian Empire, demonstrating how these sophisticated arteries of transportation and communication shaped its dominance. The book reveals how the Persian Empire utilized its infrastructure not merely for movement, but as deliberately engineered instruments of imperial control. By facilitating rapid communication, troop deployment, and resource extraction, these roads enabled the Persians to govern a vast and diverse territory effectively. The book examines the origins, construction, maintenance, and decline of the Persian road system, with a focus on the famed Royal Road. It argues that the Persian roads were critical to the empire’s political, economic, and military success. For example, the Royal Road, stretching from Susa to Sardis, allowed messengers to travel at unprecedented speeds, ensuring swift communication across the empire.

 
The book progresses by first establishing the geographical context of the Persian Empire, then detailing construction techniques, and finally, analyzing the Royal Road and its economic impact. Combining engineering analysis with historical interpretation, Persian Roads provides a fresh perspective on the Persian road system, appealing to history enthusiasts and those interested in the intersection of infrastructure and power.

Interview with the Sphinx -...

Jack Matthews

In this provocative & immensely irritating comic play, the Sphinx from ancient Greece is interviewed in modern times as though she were a celebrity pop star. The problem is she never answers any questions — never directly anyway. Instead she prefers just dishing the dirt on everybody. ON HOMER: “I never was exactly sure which one Homer was. I’m positive he wasn’t the blind one, though; that was just a silly story they started telling a few centuries later”. ON OEDIPUS: “Eddie was terribly conceited, you know … of course he was smart and handsome and, oh, just had a way of carrying himself that impressed everybody. In spite of his foot.” Bit by bit the Interviewer learns that what happens in Greek legend didn’t happen exactly the way Sophocles described it. Fortunately, the Sphinx offers the Interviewer another riddle … if only he could figure out what exactly it is! This witty 67 minute audio play stars Jill Brumer as the Sphinx and Neal Gage as the Interviewer. Part Tom Stoppard, part Monty Python, part Oscar Wilde, this play by Jack Matthews combines philosophical paradoxes with fast-paced verbal pyrotechnics. It offers the perfect antidote to people who remembered ancient literature as nothing but stuffy and melodramatic characters with hard-to-pronounce names.
Neal Gage is a Houston actor and teacher who has appeared in several features and comic sketch videos on Funny or Die. Jill Brumer has an MFA in Media & Performing Arts and teaches theater at Houston colleges. Jack Matthews (1925-2013) was an American novelist, short story writer, essayist, playwright and former professor in Ohio.
The play was first published & performed in 1992; later it was revised & expanded for the 2013 audio production.

Love for the Land - Lessons from...

Brooks Lamb

Love for the Land explores the power and potential of people-place relationships. Through clear and compelling prose, it elevates the virtues of imagination, affection, and fidelity—concepts promoted by farmer-writer Wendell Berry—and shows how they motivate small- and mid-scale farmers to care for the land, even in the face of adversity. Paying particular attention to farmland loss from suburban sprawl, rampant agricultural consolidation, and, for farmers of color, racial injustice, Brooks Lamb reckons with the harsh realities that these farmers face. 
 
 
  
Drawing from in-depth interviews and hands-on experiences in two changing rural communities, he shares stories and sacrifices from dozens of farmers, local leaders, agricultural service providers, and land conservationists. Lamb's rural roots and farming background enable him to cultivate honest, trusting connections with the farmers he engages, yielding raw and powerful insights. Time and again, compelling evidence reveals that stewardship virtues encourage people to live and act as devoted caretakers. 
 
 
  
With a refreshing, accessible, and engaging approach, Lamb argues that these resilient and often overlooked farmers show rural and urban people alike a way forward, one that serves people, places, and the planet. That path is rooted in love for the land.
