Sinopsis

"Silk Road Cities" explores the historical significance of key urban centers along the Silk Road, revealing them not just as transit points for goods, but as dynamic hubs of cultural exchange and innovation. By examining archaeological discoveries and historical records, the book sheds light on the intricate social, economic, and political dynamics that shaped these cities.

 
The book highlights how the blending of cultures led to unique architectural styles, religious syncretism, and technological advancements that influenced societies across continents.

 
The book adopts an interdisciplinary approach, bridging archaeology, history, art history, and religious studies to offer a holistic understanding of the Silk Road phenomenon. It progresses through chapters dedicated to specific trading posts, such as Samarkand, Dunhuang, Ctesiphon, and Palmyra. Each case study incorporates detailed descriptions of architectural landmarks, social structures, and economic activities, drawing upon diverse data sources, including excavation reports, ancient maps, and dynastic histories.

    We broke our new series on learning Portuguese down into different learning stages. Start with the "Lower Beginner" books followed by the "Beginner" and "Upper Beginner" books. Next, progress to the "Intermediate" series, then test and reinforce your knowledge with the "Conversations" series. 
    This audiobook is divided into units.While it provides different learning patterns and accommodates various needs, this audiobook focuses on helping you improve your ability to understand, speak, and memorise Portuguese.  
    In Unit 1 you will hear Portuguese decoded with each syllable spoken very slowly and clearly with repetition. Immediately before each sentence is spoken, you will hear the translation, so you will always understand what is being said. 
    Unit 2 focuses solely on increasing your listening ability, which will improve your abilities to engage in dialogue with a native Portuguese speaker. This chapter requires you to listen very carefully to nuances in the language. 
    By Unit 3 you will already notice progress in your abilities to speak and understand Portuguese. The spoken translation is followed by two repetitions in Portuguese at a completely natural speed. While you are learning to process naturally spoken Portuguese, Units 3 and 4 will help you memorise new vocabulary and full sentences. 
    In Unit 5 you can test yourself on how much you have learned. If you are having difficulties, we suggest you revisit the listening, speaking, or memorisation section of Units 1, 2 3 or 4, according to what you need more help with.

    In 1965, Singapore's GDP per capita was on a par with Jordan. Now it has outstripped Japan. After the Second World War and a sudden rupture with newly formed Malaysia, Singapore found itself independent–and facing a crisis. It took the bloody-minded determination and vision of Lee Kuan Yew, its founding premier, to take a small island of diverse ethnic groups with a fragile economy and hostile neighbors and meld it into Asia's first globalized city.Lion City examines the different faces of Singaporean life–from education and health to art, politics, and demographic challenges–and reveals how in just half a century, Lee forged a country with a buoyant economy and distinctive identity. It explores the darker side of how this was achieved too; through authoritarian control that led to it being dubbed "Disneyland with the death penalty."Jeevan Vasagar, former Singapore correspondent for the Financial Times, masterfully takes us through the intricate history, present, and future of this unique diamond-shaped island one degree north of the equator, where new and old have remained connected. Lion City is a personal, insightful, and definitive guide to the city, and how its extraordinary rise is shaping East Asia and the rest of the world.
