Sinossi

"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.

    John R. Brinkley (July 8, 1885 – May 26, 1942) became nationally known as the "goat gland doctor" for his controversial medical practice that promised virility for his male patients. He was a pioneer in radio broadcasting and advertising, as he promoted his services to his large listening audience. 
    Despite detractors and critics in the medical community thoroughly discrediting his methods, Brinkley operated clinics and hospitals in several states for two decades. When opposition from the organized medical community resulted in revocation of his radio and medical license he turned to politics, with two failed runs for the governorship of Kansas.  
    Brinkley's rise to fame and fortune was as precipitous as his eventual fall: At the height of his career he had amassed millions of dollars; yet he died sick and nearly penniless, as a result of a number of malpractice, wrongful death and fraud suits brought against him.

    In Crazies to the Left of Me, Wimps to the Right, Goldberg speaks for the millions of Americans who are saying: Enough! Enough of lunatics like Rosie O'Donnell who think ""Radical Christianity"" is ""as big a threat to America as Radical Islam."" Enough of the hyperbolic liberal rhetoric comparing Bush to Hitler and Abu Ghraib to a Saddam Hussein torture chamber. And please, enough of the military-hating crazies who run San Francisco!  
    But Goldberg has also had it with hypocritical Republicans who say they're for small government but then spend our hard-earned tax money like Imelda Marcos in a shoe store. He's also had it with weak and timid Republicans who won't stand up and fight against racial preferences, too afraid that the Al Sharptons and Jesse Jacksons of the world will call them bigots. In plain English, he's had it with Republicans who are afraid to be conservative! The 2006 election was a wake-up call, he warns, and if the wimps on the Right fail to regain their courage, recover their principles, and reclaim their sense of fiscal responsibility, the crazies on the Left just might win the White House in 2008.
