Beschreibung

Desert Trade Roads explores the vital, yet often overlooked, historical trade networks that thrived across the world's deserts. This book highlights how these routes facilitated not only the exchange of goods like gold, salt, silk, and spices, but also the transmission of ideas, technologies, and religious beliefs, such as Islam and Buddhism. These networks showcase human ingenuity and resilience in adapting to challenging environments, demonstrating that these routes were as crucial to global interconnectedness as maritime trade routes.

 
The book examines specific trade routes, including the trans-Saharan trade, the Silk Road's passage through the Gobi Desert, and the incense routes of Arabia, detailing the commodities, technologies, and socio-political structures involved. By drawing from archaeological discoveries, historical texts, and ethnographic studies, Desert Trade Roads reconstructs the lives of desert traders.

 
The book progresses by establishing historical context, then focusing on specific routes and commodities, and finally drawing connections between history, geography, and economics, offering a comparative analysis of different desert trade networks across continents and time periods.

Welcome to Dragon Talk -...

Shelly Mazzanoble, Greg Tito

If it seems like everyone you know is playing Dungeons & Dragons, it's because they are! After nearly five decades, the iconic roleplaying game is more popular than ever. Famous Hollywood actors and directors, therapists, educators, politicians, kids, parents, and grandparents all count themselves as fans. In Welcome to Dragon Talk, hosts of the official D&D podcast Shelly Mazzanoble and Greg Tito and their surprising guests show how this beloved pastime has amassed a diverse, tight-knit following of players who defy stereotypes. 
 
 
  
Shelly and Greg recount some of their most inspiring interviews and illuminate how their guests use the core tenets of the game in everyday life. An A-list actor defends D&D by baring his soul (and his muscles) on social media. A teacher in a disadvantaged district in Houston creates a D&D club that motivates students to want to read and think analytically. A writer and live-streamer demonstrates how D&D–inspired communication breaks barriers and empowers people of color. Listeners will see why Dungeons & Dragons has remained such a pop culture phenomenon and how it has given this disparate and growing community the inspiration to flourish and spread some in-game magic into the real world.

I Want My Epidural Back -...

Karen Alpert

Now that I’m a mom, I know the most painful part isn’t getting something giant through your hooha. It’s having a real live child. 
If you are the kind of mom who shapes your kiddo’s organic quinoa into reproductions of the Mona Lisa, do not read this book. If you stayed up past midnight to create posters for your PTO presidential campaign, do not read this book. If you look down your nose at parents who have Domino’s pizza on speed dial, do not read this book. 
But if you are the kind of parent who accidentally goes ballistic on your rugrats every morning because they won’t put their shoes on and then you feel super guilty about it all day so you take them to McDonalds for a special treat but really it’s because you opened up your freezer and panicked because you forgot to buy more frozen pizzas, then absolutely read this book. 
I WANT MY EPIDURAL BACK is a celebration of mediocre parents and how awesome they are and how their kids love them just as much as children with perfect parents. Karen Alpert’s honest but hilarious observations, stories, quips and pictures will have you nodding your head and peeing in your pants. Or on the toilet if you’re smart and read it there.
