Iran - How far women have come

Nadia Pizzuti

Sinopsis

It was young Iranian women who first took to the streets after the killing of Jina Mahsa Amini in September 2022. Many defied the regime by tearing off their veils and casting them into the flames. For months, the protests that followed were carried forward by Generation Z — the daughters, sons, and grandchildren of those who, back in 1997, had voted in large numbers for Mohammad Khatami in the presidential elections.His victory did not democratize the theocratic system, but it did open the way to a series of reforms that gave new momentum to civil society, despite the harsh backlash of the regime’s hardliners. The most recent wave of unrest stems, in part, from the awareness of rights acquired during that season of reforms.To understand what is happening in Iran today, one must look back to those events, which the author witnessed firsthand as a correspondent for the ANSA news agency. In the updated edition of her memoir, the experiences of the protagonists of change intertwine with her own, revealing a multifaceted and often contradictory reality.Journalist, writer, and filmmaker, Nadia Pizzuti worked for 25 years in the foreign news desk of ANSA, focusing in particular on the Arab-Muslim world. She served as correspondent in Tehran, where she lived from 1997 to 2000. She has directed three documentaries, two devoted to figures of Italian feminism and the latest to the life of a Roman female partisan.

Rangers Scouts and Raiders -...

Michael F. Dilley

"Well-written and meticulously researched, the book is an excellent example of truth being more interesting than fiction. It is easy to read with photos, charts and maps that help the reader keep pace with the action." — ARMY MagazineThroughout history there has always been a need, in military forces, for special units. In the past, these units have usually been ad hoc formations that were disbanded after their mission was complete. It has only been since the early 1950s that such units have remained active, but even in recent times special purpose, special mission units have been organized and used for a period of time or for a specific mission and then either deactivated or replaced by other units.  This unique approach to the history of American special forces examines their development through a number of operations, ranging from the French and Indian War in the 18th century through to the Vietnam War. From the Son Tay raid to the Force at la Difensa and Rogers’ Rangers, the operations are diverse in both organization and purpose, but all contributed to the overall mission of their theater or larger organization, thus proving the continuing need for special units throughout history and even today.

Egyptian Mythology - The Gods...

Julia Blacksmith

Egyptian mythology is one of the most fascinating and enduring belief systems in human history. Rooted in the ancient civilization along the Nile, these myths shaped the religious, social, and political landscape of Egypt for thousands of years. Unlike many other mythologies, Egyptian beliefs were not static; they evolved over time, incorporating new deities, merging legends, and adapting to the needs of the people. The gods and stories of Egypt were deeply intertwined with daily life, influencing everything from temple rituals to the rule of pharaohs. Understanding Egyptian mythology provides insight into the values, fears, and aspirations of one of history’s most influential civilizations.
The origins of Egyptian mythology date back to the early dynastic period and possibly even before. Ancient Egyptians believed that the universe emerged from a vast, chaotic primordial ocean called Nun. From this cosmic void, the first gods appeared, bringing order to existence. Myths about creation, divine rule, and the afterlife were passed down through oral traditions and recorded in hieroglyphic texts found on temple walls, coffins, and papyrus scrolls. These stories explained natural phenomena, justified the authority of the pharaohs, and provided a spiritual roadmap for the journey beyond death.
Mythology played a central role in ancient Egyptian life, influencing art, architecture, and governance. Temples were constructed as homes for the gods, and elaborate religious festivals reenacted mythological events to ensure cosmic balance. The pharaoh, considered the living embodiment of Horus and the son of Ra, was both a political and religious leader, serving as the bridge between the gods and the people. Myths were not merely symbolic; they were an active force shaping society’s structure and rituals.
