  The Greatest Cities of Ancient...

  Editors Charles River

  Long before Alexandria was a city and even before Memphis and Babylon had attained greatness, the ancient Mesopotamian city of Ur stood foremost among ancient Near Eastern cities. Today, the greatness and cultural influence of Ur has been largely forgotten by most people, partially because its monuments have not stood the test of time the way other ancient culture’s monuments have. For instance, the monuments of Egypt were made of stone while those of Ur and most other Mesopotamian cities were made of mud brick and as will be discussed in this report, mud-brick may be an easier material to work with than stone but it also decays much quicker. The same is true to a certain extent for the written documents that were produced at Ur. Likewise, no site better represents the importance of the Sumerians than the city of Uruk. Between the fourth and the third millennium BCE, Uruk was one of several city-states in the land of Sumer, located in the southern end of the Fertile Crescent, between the two great rivers of the Tigris and the Euphrates. 
  As Hittite power grew during the Old Kingdom, the royal city of Hattusa became more important and even wealthier. From his citadel overlooking Hattusa, Hattusili I launched the first major Hittite attacks into the Near East, first conquering the cities between Hattusa and the Mediterranean (Macqueen 2003, 36). Although the Biblical accounts of the Assyrians are among the most interesting and are often corroborated with other historical sources, the Assyrians were much more than just the enemies of the Israelites and brutal thugs. Among all the cities that thrived in the ancient Near East, few can match the opulence and ostentatiousness of Nineveh, the capital of the Assyrian Empire for much of the seventh century BCE.

  One Body: A Retrospective

  Nominated in Scotland’s National Book Awards 
  In this searing, frank and funny memoir, Catherine Simpson describes what it’s been like to live in her woman’s body, and to reach the realisation that all that time she’d spent trying to change her body to conform - often to unattainable standards - could be seen from a completely different perspective. 
  By the time she reached her fifties, Catherine Simpson and her body had gone through a lot together—from period pain and early menopause to shaming and harassment. But there had been success, joy, love, and laughter too: far more freedoms than her mother had, a fulfilling family life and career, and even the promise of further gains for her daughters. 
  So when a cancer diagnosis upends her life, Catherine is forced to reflect on her body, then and now. From growing up on a farm where veterinarians were more common than doctors, and where illness was “a nuisance,” she finds herself faced with the nuisance of a lifetime. 
  One Body is the demystifying, relatable, often hilarious and sometimes hair-raising story of how Catherine navigates her treatment and takes stock of the emotions and reflections it provokes. And how she comes to appreciate the skin she is in—to be grateful for her body and all that it does and is.

  Do you know How to Talk to Anyone? Do you want to know How to Talk to Anyone? 
  It doesn’t have to be someone important who is speaking to us to make us feel important…or not. Even the person sitting next to us on the bus has the ability to make us feel significant, or, like we don’t matter at all. Regardless of how we may try to wiggle around it, while the ultimate goal of your communication may be to inform or express, you are never going to succeed at doing so if the person you are talking to feels you have no value for him or her. 
  Every (good) speaker knows that the best delivery is one that makes each person in the audience feel every word was just for him or her. 
  In the art of effective conversation as well as public speaking, it is imperative to take an interest in the person or persons you are talking to. 
  Know what they like and what they don’t like. 
  Learn what interests them. 
  When you are uptight about speaking, be it publicly or privately, people sense your fear. While you work on getting over your anxiety of talking through measures taken in this book, you can fake it until you make it. Just pretending that you are not so nervous will help relax the person or persons you are speaking to and it might calm you as well. 
  Are you excited? Look no more!
