Sinossi

Persian Roadways explores how the Achaemenid Empire utilized an extensive network of roads, most notably the Royal Road, to consolidate power and facilitate communication across its vast territories. These ancient roads were not merely pathways; they were instruments of imperial control, enabling swift military campaigns and efficient administration. Persian ingenuity allowed for messages to travel with unprecedented speed, a crucial advantage in governing a diverse population. The book details the construction techniques and logistical challenges involved in creating and maintaining these road systems, highlighting their impact on military movements, economic activity, and cultural exchange. For example, the roads facilitated the movement of goods, people, and ideas, fostering a vibrant exchange across the empire. By examining archaeological findings and ancient texts, Persian Roadways provides a multifaceted understanding of the road systems' function.

 
The book progresses by first introducing imperial infrastructure as a tool for governance, then detailing road construction and maintenance, and finally analyzing the roads' effects on military, cultural, and economic spheres. It connects the Persian road system to later networks, such as those of the Roman Empire, and discusses its influence on modern infrastructure planning, offering valuable insights into the lasting legacy of Persian engineering and strategic planning.

    Global urbanization is one of the defining phenomena of the 21st century, reshaping the landscape of human society in profound and often unpredictable ways. Urban areas have become epicenters of economic, cultural, and technological growth, drawing millions of people in search of better opportunities. As more than half of the world’s population now resides in cities, the rapid expansion of urban areas raises both exciting prospects and complex challenges. This shift is not just about the physical growth of cities, but also the transformation of how societies function, how people live, and how global systems interact with local realities. 
    At its core, global urbanization is driven by a multitude of factors. The movement of people from rural to urban areas, spurred by the promise of economic opportunity and improved living standards, has accelerated with globalization. As the world becomes more interconnected, cities are increasingly positioned as nodes in a vast, global network. These cities are not isolated entities but are linked by flows of capital, information, and labor, contributing to the spread of economic, cultural, and technological trends. This interconnectedness means that changes in one city can have ripple effects worldwide, making the study of urbanization crucial for understanding the broader dynamics of global society. 
    However, urbanization is not a uniform process. While some cities grow through industrialization and technological advancements, others are expanding due to rapid population growth driven by migration and high birth rates. The result is a global urban landscape marked by diversity in size, scale, economic power, and social complexity. While cities like New York, London, and Tokyo have long been at the forefront of global urbanization, emerging cities in Africa, Asia, and Latin America are now gaining prominence.

    Forget GDP, and focus instead on living standards, people’s ability to get what they want. When you do that you’ll see why, contrary to universal belief, capitalism helps the living standards of the less well-off much more than those of the rich. You’ll also see why no matter who or what the government taxes, or even if it taxes nobody, nearly the entire cost of government is paid for in the form of reduced living standards for the poor or anyone else on a tight budget. 
    Despite covering serious issues that affect the lives of everyone, the book is designed to be easy and entertaining even for those who know little about economics. That’s because the laws of economics are ultimately based on universal aspects of human nature. If you are a human, you’ll get it.

    There are original brands and replicas. Likewise, some people are original while others are mere replicas. The originals are those who have a classy mindset and mentality shining through their manners and interactions. The replicas are those who pay a lip service to some slogans but when it comes to application, it is all words and no deeds. Thus, be alert and patient when it comes to your relations. Be always an original and beware replicas!

    What makes Buffy the Vampire Slayer a "brave dame" but Ally McBeal a "wimpette"? In this witty, incisive look at the role of women on screen and page, Susan Isaacs argues that assertive, ethical women characters are losing ground to wounded, shallow sisters who are driven by what she calls, "the articles of wimpette philosophy." Although female roles have included lawyers like Ally McBeal, they are wimpettes nonetheless. A brave dame, on the other hand, is a dignified, three-dimensional hero who may care about men, home, and hearth, but also cares—and acts—passionately about something in the world beyond. Brave dames' stories range from mundane (Mary Richards in The Mary Tyler Moore Show) to romantic (Francesca in The Horse Whisperer) to fantastic (Xena: Warrior Princess), but whatever they do, they care about justice and carry themselves with self-respect and decency.
