Sinossi

Unsolved Ancient Mysteries delves into the captivating world of historical enigmas, exploring perplexing sites and artifacts that challenge conventional historical narratives. It examines undeciphered languages like the Voynich Manuscript, the origins of megalithic structures such as Göbekli Tepe, and the abrupt abandonment of ancient settlements, like those of the Maya Civilization. The book emphasizes that many accepted historical narratives are incomplete and that these mysteries represent critical gaps in our knowledge.

 
The book takes a systematic approach, first introducing the concept of "unsolved mysteries" and then delving into specific examples. It explores how archaeologists and linguists use methods like radiocarbon dating and linguistic analysis to try and understand these mysteries. Rather than offering definitive answers, Unsolved Ancient Mysteries focuses on the methodological challenges inherent in studying these ancient sites, making it a valuable resource for those interested in archaeology, ancient civilizations, and the ongoing quest to understand our past.

 
The culmination of the book synthesizes findings from case studies, looking at how a multidisciplinary approach is essential for understanding these mysteries. The book progresses across chapters in a systematic fashion, providing a fresh perspective, exploring the limitations of current research, and stimulating critical thinking about the unsolved mysteries of our past.

Walking the Appalachian Trail

Larry Luxenberg

A fascinating portrait of the community of people—and one cat—who’ve traveled the trail end to end, by the founder of the Appalachian Trail Museum.   Countless hikers have walked stretches of the two-thousand-plus-mile Appalachian Trail, but only a small, deeply dedicated group has completed the trek all the way through from Georgia to Maine. This book explores the history of the trail through colorful profiles of those who are a part of this unique community and reveals the customs and culture that have evolved around them over the years.   From the sore muscles to the moments of solitude in nature, from the retired postmaster who parachuted onto the top of Springer Mountain to begin his journey to the woman who set out in tennis shoes because she couldn’t find women’s hiking boots in her size, Walking the Appalachian Trail explores questions of who these end-to-enders are, what drives them, what risks they face, and what rewards to body and soul they gain from this extraordinary walk.   Includes color photographs

The Questions That Matter Most -...

Jane Smiley

Long acclaimed as one of America’s preeminent novelists, Jane Smiley is also an unparalleled observer of the craft of writing. In The Questions That Matter Mostthis Pulitzer Prize–winning writer offers steady and penetrating essays on some of the aesthetic and cultural issues that mark any  
serious engagement with reading and writing. Beginning with a personal introduction tracing Smiley’s migration from Iowa to California, the author reflects on her findings in the varied literature of the Golden State, whose writers have for decades litigated the West’s contested legacies of racism,  
class conflict, and sexual politics through their pens. 
 
As she considers the ambiguity of character and the weight of history, her essays provide new entry points into literature, and we lucky readers can see how Smiley draws inspiration from across the literary spectrum to invigorate her own writing.  
 
With enthusiasm and meticulous attention, Smiley dives beneath surface-level interpretations to examine the works of Marguerite de Navarre, Charles Dickens,Anthony Trollope, Harriet Beecher Stowe, Louisa May Alcott, Mark Twain, Willa Cather, Franz Kafka, Halldór Laxness, and Jessica Mitford.  
Throughout, Smiley seeks to think harder and, in her words, with “more clarity and nuance” about the questions that matter most.
