Sinopse

Great Wall History explores the evolution of the Great Wall of China, highlighting its transformation from a defensive barrier into a global symbol deeply intertwined with Chinese history and cultural identity. The book challenges the notion of the Wall as a single entity, presenting it instead as a dynamic series of fortifications built across dynasties, adapting to changing military threats and technological advancements. Intriguingly, the Wall's construction involved an immense labor force, impacting China’s social and economic landscape, while its effectiveness varied against different invaders throughout history. 

 
The study progresses chronologically, starting with early earthen ramparts and culminating in the Ming Dynasty's iconic brick and stone structures. It analyzes the Wall's military role, its socio-economic impact, and its symbolic representation in art and culture. Drawing upon archaeological findings, historical chronicles, and military records, the book offers a unique perspective on the Wall as a reflection of China's relationship with the world. 

 
The fact-based approach offers insights into military strategy, wall construction, archaeology, and Chinese culture.

Ordinary Wonder Tales

Emily Urquhart

A journalist and folklorist explores the truths that underlie the stories we imagine—and reveals the magic in the everyday. 
“I’ve always felt that the term fairy tale doesn’t quite capture the essence of these stories,” writes Emily Urquhart. “I prefer the term wonder tale, which is Irish in origin, for its suggestion of awe coupled with narrative. In a way, this is most of our stories.” In this startlingly original essay collection, Urquhart reveals the truths that underlie our imaginings: what we see in our heads when we read, how the sight of a ghost can heal, how the entrance to the underworld can be glimpsed in an oil painting or a winter storm—or the onset of a loved one’s dementia. In essays on death and dying, pregnancy and prenatal genetics, radioactivity, chimeras, cottagers, and plague, Ordinary Wonder Tales reveals the essential truth: if you let yourself look closely, there is magic in the everyday.

Nathan Detering

Why is this happening? How do you care for yourself and your family? If you are struggling with a loved one’s addiction you are not alone. A compassionate resource for anyone stuck between a rock and a hard place. 
When Rev. Nathan Detering shared the story of his brother’s death from a drug overdose with the members of his congregation, many of them shared their own addiction stories with him. Realizing the healing power of sharing stories and questions in community, Rev. Detering conducted interviews to identify and address the common questions that haunt us when we love someone with addiction. In conversations both within and outside his community, he heard the palpable need for those struggling with a loved one’s addictions to know they are not alone. 
Weaving together his own and others’ deeply felt experiences of addiction, Why Can’t I Fix It? responds to sometimes desperate questions such as: Why is this happening? What can you do? What can’t you do? How do you care for yourself and the rest of your family? Can you trust your community to support you and your family? While the answers to these questions aren’t easily found, Why Can’t I Fix It? encourages those of us who are struggling with a loved one’s addictions to practice self-care and self-compassion, understand the cultural context for emotional responses and expectations of ourselves and others, and reach out for support.
