Sinopsis

When ancient Egypt is mentioned, images often come to mind of tombs covered in hieroglyphs being opened by Victorian-era explorers, revealing "wonderful things"—as Howard Carter famously described upon first glimpsing the treasures of Tutankhamun. But how did Egyptology become the preserve of wealthy Europeans? And what can be done today to restore agency and rightful ownership to the country where this field was born?

    This book bundle delves into the rich histories of the Ancestral Puebloans, the Hohokam Civilization, and the Mississippian Culture—three remarkable societies that shaped the landscape of ancient North America.   
    Explore the ingenuity of the Ancestral Puebloans, known for their intricate cliff dwellings, vast trade networks, and mastery of dry farming in the arid Southwest. Discover how they adapted to harsh environments, built iconic structures like those at Chaco Canyon and Mesa Verde, and left behind a legacy that continues to intrigue archaeologists today.   
    Unravel the achievements of the Hohokam Civilization, whose advanced irrigation systems transformed the deserts of present-day Arizona into thriving agricultural hubs. Learn how they engineered vast canal networks, developed extensive trade routes, and influenced neighboring cultures through their pottery, architecture, and ceremonial practices.   
    Finally, journey into the world of the Mississippian Culture, a powerful mound-building society that flourished along the rivers of the southeastern United States. From the towering earthen pyramids of Cahokia to their sophisticated agricultural and political systems, the Mississippians created one of the most complex pre-Columbian civilizations in North America.   
    Through resilience, innovation, and adaptation, these cultures thrived for centuries, shaping the heritage of the continent. Perfect for history enthusiasts, this book provides a deep dive into the lives, beliefs, and achievements of these fascinating early American peoples.

    "A revelation" – Nigel Farage
    ***
    Nothing like it had ever been done before. In January 2019, the Brexit Party was just a name. Over a matter of weeks, the party would be launched, stand candidates across seventy seats and become the largest single party in the European Parliament.
    Along the way, it fought Establishment quangos, the courts, Parliament, the Speaker and the government – hammering the Conservatives so hard it forced the resignation of their Prime Minister – to win nearly twice as many seats as its nearest rival.
    It was a success beyond anyone's dreams (or, indeed, anyone's worst nightmare). And the inside story of how it happened may serve as a manual of how to – and occasionally how not to – do it.
    This unique book details the wild ride of the brand-new Brexit Party as it heads from triumph in the European elections to disaster in the general election six months later. Packed with hilarious anecdotes about the reality of setting up a new party, it takes the reader on a journey through building the entire apparatus in an impossibly short time frame; losing key players to enemy action; and facing chaotic scenes created by a cat's cradle of legal complications – before arriving at the conclusion that politics is much more difficult than it looks.

    Renowned public speaker, bestselling author, social critic, and activist Charles Eisenstein offers a way forward from our present moment through a series of unforgettable essays that give us a new model of sense-making. Through a series of piercing essays, The Coronation takes listeners through the initiation of the Covid era?exploring topics like despair, hope, courage, division, and reunion?in this stunning collection. Paired with each essay is the author’s commentary locating the essay in a social, political, and spiritual journey. After all, it wasn’t only outward normality that the pandemic disrupted. Of all the social crises that COVID-19 has revealed, The Coronation addresses the most profound: the crisis in our sense-making. An old reality has disintegrated. This book reveals just how deep that breakdown is. Acknowledging it, we might build something more sound, more whole, and more sane. Underneath the shifting sands of the arguments and narratives, something else calls to us: the possibility of renewal, a revolution in the agreements and myths that organize society. *Individually, these essays have been read, shared, and discussed by tens of thousands of people around the globe, but they are collected together here for the first time!

    The Second Treatise of Government is a political treatise written by English philosopher John Locke in 1689. It is considered one of the most important works on political philosophy, as it presents Locke's ideas on the natural rights of individuals and the proper role and limits of government in a society based on the consent of the governed. 
    In the Second Treatise, Locke argues that all individuals have natural rights to life, liberty, and property, which cannot be taken away by any authority, including the government. These rights are inherent and universal, and are not granted by any social contract or agreement. 
    Locke also argues that governments are formed by the consent of the governed, and are therefore obligated to protect the natural rights of their citizens. He asserts that the purpose of government is to promote the common good, and that governments that fail to do so may be overthrown by the people. 
    Moreover, Locke suggests that there are limits to the power of government, and that individuals have the right to resist or even overthrow a government that becomes tyrannical or violates their natural rights. 
    The Second Treatise of Government has had a significant impact on political theory and the development of democratic governance. It influenced the United States Declaration of Independence and the Constitution, as well as many other constitutions around the world.
