  Moche Civilization - Warriors...

  The Moche civilization emerged along the northern coast of present-day Peru, flourishing between approximately 100 and 750 CE. This society developed in a region marked by arid deserts, fertile river valleys, and proximity to the Pacific Ocean, which shaped its economy, culture, and political structure. The Moche were not a singular unified state but rather a collection of regional polities connected through shared traditions, artistic styles, and religious beliefs. Their rise was influenced by earlier Andean cultures, particularly the Cupisnique and Chavín, which had already laid the foundations for complex societies in the region. 
  The origins of the Moche civilization can be traced to the early centuries of the Common Era when small communities along the coast began to expand due to agricultural advancements and increasing social stratification. The region's rivers, fed by Andean runoff, allowed for irrigation-based farming that supported large populations. Over time, leaders emerged who controlled land, labor, and water resources, leading to the development of hierarchical societies. These early rulers likely solidified their power through religious authority, military strength, and their ability to organize large-scale construction projects. 
  One of the defining aspects of Moche civilization was its adaptation to the harsh environment. The coastal deserts of northern Peru posed challenges for sustaining large populations, yet the Moche mastered irrigation technology, channeling river water to expand arable land. This agricultural innovation provided surplus food, which in turn fueled urban growth, specialization of labor, and the rise of elite classes. Moche settlements grew into centers of political and religious activity, with monumental architecture such as pyramids and temples becoming focal points of their cities.

  Monday, 4 September 1967 
  Marine Lance Corporal Jack Swan crested the face of a bare, rocky knoll in 
  the Que Son Valley of South Vietnam. Following Swan were the 164 Marines of 
  Mike Company, Third Battalion, Fifth Marines, First Marine Division. Their 
  mission was to locate and rescue two understrength and isolated companies 
  of felow Marines who were under attack by the North Vietnamese Armv 
  The sight of a quiet and serene rice paddy and shrub covered valley greeted 
  Swan. Too serene, he thought, as he caught sight of a trembling bush. "I think 
  I just saw that bush move!" he shouted. "If it moves again, shoot it!" his squad 
  leader commanded he bush moved Swan hired. and the hush went down 
  Then hell on earth broke loose. 
  Rocket-propelled grenades, AK-47 fire, mortars, and machine guns engulfed 
  the exposed Marines. The vaunted 2nd NVA Division, six thousand, five hundred 
  men strong and expertly camouflaged, had sprung their well-laid trap. 
  Instead of coming to the rescue of their embattled comrades, it was now the 
  men of Mike 3/5 who were about to be annihilated. Burdened with a rifle, the 
  M16, that would often malfunction, how could they hope to beat back a vastly 
  superior foe bent on their destruction? 
  Outnumbered, out-gunned, and exposed, would any of the men of Mike 3/5 survive?

  Rwandan Genocide - Hutus Tutsis...

  I guess during the time I was struggling with middle school peers and worried about what other girls thought of my clothes, something nasty happened approximately 6,500 miles away, which is only an 8-hour flight from where I used to live. Who would have thought that even in the 90s, such atrocities would be committed? The movie Hotel Rwanda has depicted some sad displays of human cruelty, although the brutality of it has mostly been censored for the sake of wider audiences. When you read the descriptions of the Rwandan genocide, and try to imagine the scope of the death toll and methods being used to commit the war crimes, you can’t help but feel deeply saddened and disgusted by what human people are capable of. 
  Throughout the Rwandan Civil War, between April seventh and July fifteenth, 1994, the Rwandan genocide happened. Equipped militias murdered members of the Tutsi minority ethnic group, and some moderate Hutu and Twa, throughout about 100 days. According to the most regularly accepted academic estimates, between 500,000 and 800,000 Tutsis passed away. The death toll (consisting of Hutu and Twa casualties) is approximated to be around 1,100,000. 
  How did all of this happen? How did it get so far? And happened during and after this short time period, in which so many lives were claimed? Let’s find out in this comprehensive book about the 1994 Rwandan genocide.

  Comic Book Women - Characters...

  The history of comics has centered almost exclusively on men. Comics historians largely describe the medium as one built by men telling tales about male protagonists, neglecting the many ways in which women fought for legitimacy on the page and in publishers' studios. Despite this male-dominated focus, women played vital roles in the early history of comics. The story of how comic books were born and how they evolved changes dramatically when women like June Tarpé Mills and Lily Renée are placed at the center rather than at the margins of this history, and when characters such as the Black Cat, Patsy Walker, and Señorita Rio are analyzed. 
   
   
   
  Comic Book Women offers a feminist history of the golden age of comics, revising our understanding of how numerous genres emerged and upending narratives of how male auteurs built their careers. Considering issues of race, gender, and sexuality, the authors examine crime, horror, jungle, romance, science fiction, superhero, and Western comics to unpack the cultural and industrial consequences of how women were represented across a wide range of titles by publishers like DC, Timely, Fiction House, and others. This revisionist history reclaims the forgotten work done by women in the comics industry and reinserts female creators and characters into the canon of comics history.
