Synopsis

Indus River Origins explores the profound influence of the Indus River on shaping South Asian culture, religious practices, and early civilizations. The book highlights how the river was not merely a geographical feature but a cornerstone in the development of belief systems and societal structures. It examines the river's role in fostering cultural exchange, influencing spiritual traditions like Hinduism and Buddhism, and acting as the lifeblood of the Indus Valley Civilization. Understanding the Indus River provides vital insights into the roots of South Asian culture and its lasting global impact.

 
The book begins by establishing the geographical and historical context, mapping the river's course and detailing the rise and fall of the Indus Valley Civilization. It then transitions into an exploration of the river's religious significance, focusing on its veneration in Vedic texts and its assimilation into Hindu cosmology.

 
The study uniquely integrates archaeological findings, textual analysis, and environmental perspectives to offer a comprehensive understanding of the Indus River's legacy and spiritual history.

The Globalization Myth - Why...

Shannon K. O’Neil

A case for why regionalization, not globalization, has been the biggest economic trend of the past forty years 
 
 
 
The conventional wisdom about globalization is wrong. Over the past forty years as companies, money, ideas, and people went abroad more often than not, they looked regional rather than globally. O'Neil details this transformation and the rise of three major regional hubs in Asia, Europe, and North America. Current technological, demographic, and geopolitical trends look only to deepen these regional ties. O'Neil argues that this has urgent implications for the United States. Regionalization has enhanced economic competitiveness and prosperity in Europe and Asia. It could do the same for the United States, if only it would embrace its neighbors.

The Life and Death of Anne...

Eric Ives

This definitive biography of Anne Boleyn establishes her as a figure of considerable importance and influence in her own right.

Anne Boleyn is the most notorious of England’s queens, but more famous for her death as an adulterer than for her life. Henry’s second wife and mother of Elizabeth I, Anne, was the first English queen to be publicly executed. Yet what do we know of the achievements and the legacy of her short reign?

In The Life and Death of Anne Boleyn: The Most Happy, Eric Ives provides the most detailed and convincing portrait we have of the queen. He reveals a person of intellect with a passion for the new culture of the Renaissance, a woman who made her way in a man’s world by force of education and personality. She played a powerful and independent role in the faction-ridden court of Henry VIII and the unceasing struggle for royal favour that was Tudor politics. The consequences can still be detected today. Indeed, Ives shows that it was precisely because Anne was a powerful figure in her own right that a coup was needed to bring her down. She had to be stopped – even by a lie. In this book, you will find:
A full biography of Anne Boleyn, based on the latest scholarly research.A focus on Anne’s life and legacy and establishes Anne as a figure of considerable importance and influence in her own right.Exploration of whether Anne was an adulteress or innocent victim, with a fresh look at the issues at the heart of Anne's downfall.Her important history as a patron of the arts, particularly in relation to Hans Holbein.Evidence about Anne’s spirituality and her interest in the intellectual debates of the period.

Faith's Answers to America's...

Senator Joe Lieberman

Can the faith in God that most Americans share help us out of the political mess we're in? 
 
 
 
As both a religiously observant person and a veteran of forty years in elective office, Senator Joe Lieberman is uniquely prepared to answer this question. In fact, he is the first person with political experience to pose and answer such a question in response to the current crisis of political division and governmental dysfunction in America. 
 
 
 
Lieberman breaks down the causes of our political problems—including partisanship, incivility, and refusal to compromise—and then describes what the monotheistic faith that Christians, Jews, and Muslims share calls on us to do to overcome those problems. 
 
 
 
He directs this appeal to members of Congress and the White House; leaders of the news and entertainment industry, who have such a large influence on our values and political behavior; and members of the clergy, who need to be leaders of a new Religious Awakening in America. 
 
 
 
This book will provide a totally different way to look at American politics and government. It will open your mind and heart and give you hope for a better, more united future for our country.
