Embark on a captivating journey through the ancient world beyond Greece in this comprehensive and engaging book. Discover the diverse civilizations that thrived alongside the Greeks, shaping the rich tapestry of the Mediterranean region.

Uncover their unique histories, intriguing beliefs, and remarkable achievements.

Delve into the mysteries of ancient Egypt, where pharaohs ruled with divine authority and the Nile River served as a life-giving artery. Witness the splendor of the Persian Empire, where a multicultural society flourished under the rule of powerful kings. Journey to the steppes of Central Asia, where fierce Scythian warriors roamed and played a pivotal role in shaping the history of Eastern Europe.

Explore the seafaring Phoenicians, who established a vast network of colonies and played a crucial role in the spread of culture and commerce throughout the Mediterranean. Discover the Hittites, a powerful kingdom of the Bronze Age whose empire rivaled that of the Egyptians and Babylonians. And venture into the Kingdom of Kush, located in present-day Sudan, a major center of trade and culture that interacted closely with the Greek world.

Throughout this captivating narrative, you will encounter a world of interconnectedness and cultural exchange, where ideas, goods, and people moved freely across vast distances. This was a time of great innovation and creativity, a time when the foundations of Western civilization were laid.

With vivid descriptions, insightful analysis, and a wealth of historical detail, this book brings to life the ancient world beyond Greece, revealing the rich diversity and enduring legacy of the Mediterranean's neighboring civilizations.

  • Philosophy for Beginners How to Understand the Basics of Philosophy as Easy as Child's Play and Successfully Apply Them in Your Everyday Life by Means of Practical Exercises - cover

    Philosophy for Beginners How to...

    Philosophy - the term sounds fascinating, beautiful, somehow romantic and harmonious, and at the same time like great intellectual effort. Yet philosophy is actually neither particularly romantic nor particularly strenuous.
    It is true that one has to use one's brain, and perhaps some things exceed normal common sense, but basically philosophy only means to be interested in man and the world. The image one has in one's mind of ancient Greek philosophers strolling in their long robes in the Athenian sun while exchanging their thoughts may seem romantic, but they often dealt with serious topics and many did not only make friends with their sometimes revolutionary thoughts.
    In this guide, I would like to give you a first insight into the great subject of philosophy and also bring it closer to you in a practical way. After an explanation of what philosophy is exactly and what it deals with concretely, I would like to introduce you not only some important philosophical currents and wisdoms of the philosophers, but also give you some exercises and tips on the way so that you can easily integrate philosophy into your life.

    "Reconstruction in Philosophy" by John Dewey is a groundbreaking philosophical work that challenges traditional modes of thinking and calls for a profound reevaluation of philosophical inquiry. In this transformative book, Dewey offers a compelling vision for reconstructing philosophy to better serve the needs and complexities of the modern world. With incisive intellect and deep insight, Dewey argues for a shift away from abstract metaphysical speculations and toward a more pragmatic and practical approach to philosophy. He contends that philosophy must be firmly rooted in concrete human experience and actively engaged with the social and cultural challenges of the time. Dewey explores the fundamental concepts of knowledge, truth, morality, and the nature of reality, recontextualizing them within the framework of democratic ideals, scientific inquiry, and societal progress. He emphasizes the importance of integrating philosophy with other disciplines, such as psychology, sociology, and education, to develop a comprehensive understanding of the human experience. Read in English, unabridged.

    Victories Never Last - Reading...

    In any time of disruption or grief, many of us seek guidance in the work of great writers who endured similar circumstances. During the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic, historian and biographer Robert Zaretsky did the same while also working as a volunteer in a nursing home in south Texas. In Victories Never Last Zaretsky weaves his reflections on the pandemic siege of his nursing home with the testimony of six writers on their own times of plague: Thucydides, Marcus Aurelius, Michel de Montaigne, Daniel Defoe, Mary Shelley, and Albert Camus, whose novel The Plague provides the title of this book. 
     
     
      
    Zaretsky delves into these writers to uncover lessons that can provide deeper insight into our pandemic era. At the same time, he goes beyond the literature to invoke his own experience of the tragedy that enveloped his Texas nursing home, one which first took the form of chronic loneliness and then, inevitably, the deaths of many residents whom we come to know through Zaretsky's stories. In doing so, Zaretsky shows the power of great literature to connect directly to one's own life in a different moment and time. 
     
     
      
    For all of us still struggling to comprehend this pandemic and its toll, this book serves as a thoughtful and down-to-earth guide to the many ways we can come to know and make peace with human suffering.
