Sinopse

Persian Royalty explores the significant role Persia's monarchs played in shaping the Middle East's political landscape and cultural identity. The book examines how rulers like Cyrus the Great, Darius, and Xerxes influenced the region through innovative administrative systems, religious policies, and the promotion of arts and sciences, challenging Eurocentric views of history. The Achaemenid Empire, for instance, implemented a postal system akin to a modern delivery service, while Zoroastrianism's influence on Persian society highlights the era's religious complexity.

 
The book progresses chronologically through major dynasties, including the Achaemenids, Parthians, and Sasanians, detailing their military campaigns, legal reforms, and architectural achievements. It draws upon royal inscriptions, archaeological findings, and ancient texts to offer a comprehensive overview.

 
By connecting Persian history to comparative religion, art history, and political science, Persian Royalty provides a nuanced understanding of the factors that shaped this influential empire, making it valuable for history enthusiasts and students alike.

    The ultimate photographic collection of the most historic trees on the planet. 
    Uncover remarkable trees from around the world, many of which have borne witness to key moments in history or reached a scale and age that have allowed them to become a part of history themselves. 
    “[A] rich history … it contains some of the most extraordinary tales of trees through time” — The Sunday Post 
    First meet 'Methuselah’, a bristlecone pine in the White Mountains of New Hampshire, believed to be 4,900 years old. Learn about trees which have inspired great events, such as the Isaac Newton apple tree in Lincolnshire, where the famous scientist observed an apple falling from a tree (which still stands in the family garden). Other flora has withstood historic events such as in Japan, where the Hibaku jumoku still grows as a survivor tree from the Hiroshima bombing and the 9/11 Survivor Tree in New York City. 
    Many trees continue to inspire our world today including the long avenue of beech trees in Northern Ireland known as the Dark Hedges which Game of Thrones fans will instantly recognise as the road to Kings Landing, the Robin Hood’s oak in the Sherwood Forest or the J. R. R. Tolkien trees in Avebury, which inspired the Ents in The Lord of the Rings. 
    Rest a while beside the oldest trunks and witness the enthralling stories nestled within the branches of these gentle giants. 
    For fans of Gene Stone (Animalkind), Scott Christianson (Fatal Airs), Valentina D'Efilippo (The Brain), Simon Sebag Montefiore (Stalin), and Nigel Farndale (Haw-Haw).

His destination: Liberia - The richest country in Africa both in monetary wealth and in natural resources.NOTHING COULD HAVE PREPARED HIM FOR THE EXPERIENCES HE WAS ABOUT TO LIVE THROUGH.

He witnesses, first-hand, the disparate lives of the Liberian "Country People? and the "Congo People" also known as Americo-Liberians. These descendants of President Monroe's American Colonization Policy that sent freed slaves back to Africa in the 1800's have set up a strict hierarchical society not unlike the antebellum South.Author Dan Meier describes Ken's many escapades, spanning from horrifying to whimsical, with engaging and fast-moving narrative that ultimately describes a society upon which the wealthy are feeding and in which the poor are being buried.It's a novel that will stay with you long after the last word has been read.
