Sinopsis

Early Icons and Landmarks As western migration came to the Colorado frontier, forts were established to protect the settlers. These forts were intertwined with the lives of the frontiersmen. Scout Thomas Tate Tobin oversaw the workers who built the adobe fortress known as Fort Garland. Here, Tobin delivered the heads of the murderous Espinosas gang to Colonel Sam Tappan. Fort Sedgwick, originally known as Camp Rankin, was attacked by the Cheyenne Dog soldiers, including George Bent. Fort Lyon, an expanded fortress of William Bent's third fort, became the staging point for Colonel John M. Chivington's march to Sand Creek where peaceful Cheyenne were murdered. Later, Christopher "Kit" Carson died in the fort's chapel. Legendary Jim Beckwourth was associated with both Fort Vasquez and Fort Pueblo. Author Linda Wommack revisits the glory and the mistakes of the frontiersmen who defined Colorado and the forts that dotted the wild landscape.

    The World According to China

    An economic and military superpower with twenty percent of the world's population, China has the wherewithal to transform the international system. Xi Jinping's bold calls for China to "lead in the reform of the global governance system" suggest that he has just such an ambition. But how does he plan to realize it? And what does it mean for the rest of the world? 
     
     
     
    In this compelling book, Elizabeth Economy reveals China's ambitious new strategy to reclaim the country's past glory and reshape the geostrategic landscape in dramatic new ways. Xi's vision is one of Chinese centrality on the global stage, in which the mainland has realized its sovereignty claims over Hong Kong, Taiwan, and the South China Sea, deepened its global political, economic, and security reach through its grand-scale Belt and Road Initiative, and used its leadership in the United Nations and other institutions to align international norms and values, particularly around human rights, with those of China. It is a world radically different from that of today. The international community needs to understand and respond to the great risks, as well as the potential opportunities, of a world rebuilt by China.

    Aesthetics is a branch of philosophy that explores the nature of beauty, art, and taste, and the creation and appreciation of beauty. It examines what makes something aesthetically pleasing or beautiful, and the principles underlying the judgments and experiences related to these concepts. 
    Aesthetics addresses a wide range of questions: What is beauty? Can aesthetic value be objectively determined, or is it entirely subjective? What role do cultural and historical contexts play in shaping our perceptions of beauty and art? How do sensory experiences and emotions influence our aesthetic judgments? 
    The field of aesthetics is deeply interdisciplinary, intersecting with art criticism, cultural studies, psychology, and even neuroscience, to understand how humans perceive and respond to aesthetic experiences. Aesthetic theory often involves the analysis of artworks, literature, music, and natural beauty, seeking to uncover the principles and criteria that govern aesthetic appreciation and creation.
