Sinopse

"Petra Facts" explores the fascinating story of Petra, the ancient city carved into the Jordanian desert by the Nabataean civilization. This book delves into the unique architecture and complex history of this "lost city", examining how the Nabataeans, originally nomadic traders, skillfully navigated the ancient world's political landscape. It highlights Petra's role as a crucial trading hub and showcases the ingenious water management systems that allowed the city to thrive in an arid environment. The book uncovers how the Nabataeans blended various cultural influences, from the Greeks to the Romans, into a unique architectural style. This resulted in iconic structures like Al-Khazneh (The Treasury) and Ad Deir (The Monastery). Beginning with the Nabataean civilization and Petra's geography, the book progresses through Petra's architectural wonders, its role as a trade center, and the factors contributing to its decline, concluding with its rediscovery and modern significance as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Drawing upon archaeological reports, historical texts, and geological surveys, "Petra Facts" offers a comprehensive and balanced perspective on Petra. It emphasizes human adaptability and cultural exchange. Through detailed analysis and an accessible writing style, it provides valuable insights for history enthusiasts, architecture buffs, and anyone interested in unraveling the mysteries of this remarkable civilization.

    How the hitchhiker vampire, Andrew, got snared by a cheeky wanna-be drag queen.  
    At twenty-two, my existence was crusty. It was a Friday afternoon when I was racing like the Red Queen down the interstate from New York to Lexington, Kentucky, feeling like I would never reach my destination and, simultaneously, reluctant to start my life as a straight-married man and a father-to-be. When I crossed the bridge at the Ohio River, I swung my sexy sports car over to the first R&G (rainbow and glitter) establishment for a martini or three. One olive turned into several before I returned to the highway, wired and waving off my newfound besties, whom I will probably never see again. Their enthusiastic motivational pep talks convinced me to take a chance, find the man of my dreams, and ask for what I wanted. 
    Warning: This story is intended for mature readers and includes explicit sexual content, strong language, violence, trauma, psychological intensity, and other dark themes. Please read with care if these subjects may be difficult for you.

    Reshaping EU Democracy Support...

    This edited volume offers a critical analysis of the complex and contested field of European Union democracy support and democratic practices in its Eastern and Southern neighbourhoods. Drawing on extensive empirical and discourse research developed within the SHAPEDEM-EU project, and focusing on six case studies (Armenia, Georgia, Ukraine, Lebanon, Palestine and Tunisia), it examines how the EU's democratic commitments are articulated, challenged and implemented in diverse neighbouring contexts. While democracy support is officially framed as a central pillar of EU foreign policy, this volume addresses the persistent gap between rhetoric and practical implementation. By combining discourse analysis with an investigation of policy instruments, it highlights how democracy is both narrated and enacted by the EU, revealing contrasts between its stated normative aspirations and interests.
    By integrating discursive and behavioural perspectives, the volume offers insights into how the EU can rethink and reshape its democracy support and practices in its Eastern and Southern neighbourhoods. It highlights the need to move beyond symbolic commitments toward more inclusive, context-sensitive and socially empowering practices. Ultimately, it invites critical reflection on how the EU should strengthen its credibility and effectiveness as a supporter of democracy in an increasingly complex and contested regional landscape.

    Tank Warfare on the Eastern...

    The German panzer armies that swept into the Soviet Union in 1941 were an undefeated force that had honed their skill in combined arms warfare to a fine edge. The Germans focused their panzers and tactical air support at points on the battlefield defined as Schwerpunkt—main effort—to smash through any defensive line and then advance to envelope their adversaries. 
     
     
     
    Initially, these methods worked well in the early days of Operation Barbarossa and the tank forces of the Red Army suffered defeat after defeat. Although badly mauled in the opening battles, the Red Army's tank forces did not succumb to the German armored onslaught and German planning and logistical deficiencies led to over-extension and failure in 1941. In the second year of the invasion, the Germans directed their Schwerpunkt toward the Volga and the Caucasus and again achieved some degree of success, but the Red Army had grown much stronger and by November 1942, the Soviets were able to turn the tables at Stalingrad. 
     
     
     
    Robert Forczyk's incisive study offers fresh insight into how the two most powerful mechanized armies of WWII developed their tactics and weaponry during the early years of the Russo-German War. He uses German, Russian, and English sources to provide the first comprehensive overview and analysis of armored warfare from the German and Soviet perspectives.

    We have experienced a shift in American character: we've become a nation of moochers. Increasingly dependent on the efforts of others over our own, Americans are free to freeload. From the corporate bailouts on Wall Street to the alarming increases in personal default and dependency, from questionable tax exemptions to enormous pension, healthcare, and other entitlement costs, the new moocher culture cuts across lines of class, race, and private and public sectors. And the millions that plan and behave sensibly, only to bail out the profligate? They're angry.Charles Sykes' argument is not against compassion or legitimate charity, but targets the new moocher culture, in which self-reliance and personal responsibility have given way to mass grasping after handouts. A Nation of Moochers is a persuasively argued and entertaining rallying cry for Americans who are tired of playing by the rules and paying for those who don't.
