Sinossi

Mesopotamian Laws explores the origins of justice and legal systems in ancient Mesopotamia, focusing on how these early laws influenced modern legal principles. The book examines the social, political, and economic factors that shaped Mesopotamian law, particularly Hammurabi's Code. Intriguingly, Mesopotamian law included concepts of retribution and social order, and their cuneiform law influenced later legal traditions in the Near East and beyond. The book traces the evolution of legal thought, from early collections to systematized codes like Hammurabi's. It provides historical context, exploring the socio-political structures of Mesopotamian city-states and their impact on legal disputes. The book supports its arguments with translations of legal texts and archaeological findings, presenting complex legal concepts in an accessible style. It begins by introducing Mesopotamian law, progresses into detailed analyses of specific codes, and culminates in an examination of its lasting impact on Western legal thought, making it valuable for anyone interested in the history of law and political science.

    Nothing can be more terrifying than knowing the streets are being prowled by a twisted serial killer. To be a female of a certain age and profession on the streets of 19th century London, with the knowledge that one of your clients could be Jack the ripper himself. 
     
    There were many more Jack the Rippers in the world. 
     
    Every human has a capacity for good or evil. We are all dark and light. This has been known for thousands of years. It has been written, preached and symbolised across the world. 
     
    Just as there are those in history who have stood out for their compassion and good works, there are also those who have become infamous for their propensity to evil. From serial killers who murder one human after another to dictators who order mass genocide upon their own citizens - evil knows no bounds. 
     
    But what is it that creates these people? Is there an inbuilt genetic lock inside awaiting the turning of a key? Or are these people the result of their life experiences? Does abuse by parents play a key role? Does society itself have to answer for the actions of the murderers that it creates? 
     
    It is time to delve deep into the world and mind of serial killers and discover why they kill.

  • Akhenaten the Nephilim God King - Exploring Temples Divinity and Monuments of the 18th Dynasty - cover

    Akhenaten the Nephilim God King...

    Except for Cleopatra, no ruler of Ancient Egypt has provoked a greater flow of ink from the pens of historians, archaeologists, moralists, novelists, and Nephilim Researchers than the Pharaoh Akhenaten, who governed almost half the civilized world for a brief span during the fourteenth century BC. The reason for all this lively interest is easy to see, and he was the greatest Nephilim of them all. The historians, searching the conscious and unconscious that masquerades as the official records in Ancient Egypt, are often at a loss to protect the ruler's personality beneath all his trappings of power, the man beneath the divinity. In folktales with their element of sardonic ribaldry, the Nephilim Pharaoh is seldom represented as having human aspects. He is more significant than life in official utterances, a mere personification of kingship: only the office has any individuality, and the temporary holder is always cast in the same mold. 
    With Akhenaten, however, there is a departure from the norm. Here is a Nephilim Pharaoh who ostensibly broke with the sacrosanct traditions of a millennium and a half and showed himself as a human being in the intimate circle of his family, dandling his Nephilim offspring, kissing his wife or taking her on his knee, or leading his mother by the hand. Here is a ruler who does not appear as the all-conquering hero of gigantic size slaughtering the foes of Egypt or as the aloof divine King greeting one of the many deities as an equal. Here was a poet credited with having written hymns to his Nephilim God, which expect the Psalms of David, who introduced a new and vital art style of his conception to express his novel ideas. Above all, here is a courageous innovator who abandoned the worship of the multifarious gods of Ancient Egypt in their human and animal forms and substituted for them an austere monotheism with an abstract symbol by which to represent it.

    The Sutra of 42 Chapters is a scripture complied in the first century CE.  Each saying comes from Buddha, but the whole work was a new anthology created especially for introducing Buddhism in a new country. That's why it makes such a good, basic introduction to the world view of Gautam Buddha. It is very simple in its approach, very direct. It is, in essence the whole of Buddha's message, but very simple, not elaborate and very scholarly as other Buddhist scriptures are.
    Osho extracts the kernel of Buddha's profound insight and understanding and presents his everlasting message to the contemporary listener in a manner that is lucid, straightforward and humorous. Far from being just a statue, here Buddha is an amazing human being so far ahead of his time that even now he is only just beginning to be more widely understood.
    In these talks Osho discusses the need for doubt and argument in the spiritual search, the nature of desire and the discipline of non-attachment.
    The talks in this audiobook are a series of original OSHO Talks, titled "The Discipline of Transcendence, Vol.2".

    In the bustling corridors of urban schools, a narrative has quietly taken root, often painting a monochrome picture of Black student behavior. This narrative, woven from threads of misunderstanding, oversimplification, and occasional bias, rarely captures the complexities and richness of the experiences these students bring into the classroom. "Urban School Dynamics: Understanding Black Student Behavior" delves deep into the intricate mosaic of influences, challenges, and aspirations that shape the actions and choices of Black students in city schools. 
    The urban educational landscape, with its unique challenges and dynamics, often amplifies the struggles faced by students. Within these walls, Black students, shaped by a myriad of socio-economic, cultural, and personal factors, navigate their educational journey. But why do some of these journeys manifest in ways that are perceived as disruptive or counterproductive? Are these behaviors indicative of deeper systemic issues, unmet needs, or cultural misunderstandings? 
    This book embarks on an exploratory quest, dismantling stereotypes and debunking myths, while shedding light on the intricate interplay of factors like socio-economic pressures, historical context, cultural values, and personal aspirations. Along the way, I will amplify the voices of Black students, educators, and parents, providing a comprehensive, empathetic, and nuanced understanding of behavior in urban school contexts. 
    By the end, my hope is that readers will not only gain insights into the dynamics influencing Black student behavior but will also be equipped with knowledge and empathy to foster more inclusive, understanding, and supportive educational environments.
