  The Divine Knowledge of Egypt -...

  To the peoples of antiquity, Egypt appeared as the very essence of Knowledge. In the mysterious Nile country, they found a knowledge system much more highly developed than any within their native Knowledge, with which Egyptian religion was so strongly identified; thus, it appeared to the foreigner to savour Knowledge practices. Suppose the materials of the Pyramid Knowledge papyri be omitted. In that case, the accounts we possess of Egyptian Knowledge are almost wholly foreign, so that it is wiser to derive our data concerning it from the original native sources if we desire to arrive at a proper understanding of the Egyptian Pyramid and Temple Building.

  Small Habits Create Big Change is a collection of micro-habits that educators can use to reclaim their mental health and love for their jobs. This book helps you identify your unique personality type, so you can find the hacks and tweaks that will actually work as you strive to manage stress and reignite your passion for working with students. Many educators feel overwhelmed, frustrated, and on the verge of burnout, but it's never too late to turn things around. Psychologist Rebecca Branstetter gives you solutions that you can use while you work, so you don't have to sacrifice your scarce downtime. 
   
   
   
  Large-scale approaches to preventing educator burnout often fail to consider an important fact—educators are individuals, and no one-size-fits-all solution will fit everyone. People's innate strengths and weaknesses play a big part in determining whether the changes we make are likely to work for us. This book accounts for what makes you who you are, giving you options, ideas, and proven strategies that set you up for success. 
   
    
   
  This book isn't just about understanding who you are. It's about preventing burnout by aligning your work with your core strengths, values, and habits. All K-12 educators will benefit from this balanced approach to work, fostering self-compassion, mindfulness, and resilience.

Every scholar the author could find claim Japanese are made up of two different people- one from the north and one from the south. Is this true? This is a qualitative study with a goal to find out who the Japanese originated from using genetics.

  On a late September day in 480 BC, Greek warships faced an invading Persian armada in the narrow Salamis Straits in the most important naval battle of the ancient world. Overwhelmingly outnumbered by the enemy, the Greeks triumphed through a combination of strategy and deception. More than two millennia after it occurred, the clash between the Greeks and Persians at Salamis remains one of the most tactically brilliant battles ever fought. The Greek victory changed the course of western history—halting the advance of the Persian Empire and setting the stage for the Golden Age of Athens. 
   
   
   
  In this dramatic new narrative account, historian and classicist Barry Strauss brings this landmark battle to life. He introduces us to the unforgettable characters whose decisions altered history: Themistocles, Athens' great leader (and admiral of its fleet), who devised the ingenious strategy that effectively destroyed the Persian navy in one day; Xerxes, the Persian king who fought bravely but who ultimately did not understand the sea; Aeschylus, the playwright who served in the battle and later wrote about it; and Artemisia, the only woman commander known from antiquity, who turned defeat into personal triumph. Filled with the sights, sounds, and scent of battle, The Battle of Salamis is a stirring work of history.

  Never has America seen an election as volatile, polarizing, and rampant with fraud and collusion as the one in 2020 between Donald Trump and Joe Biden. And the Democrats are the ones to blame, according to Mollie Hemingway. 
  After Trump became president in 2016, Democrats, the liberal media, and Big Tech schemed tirelessly to get him out of office by any means necessary. Hemingway’s Rigged takes an intimate look at how they succeeded, including the events leading up to the 2020 election, what happened on Election Day, and the legal challenges by Republicans seeking to investigate the validity of the election process and its results. 
  Hemingway argues that Democrats used every trick in the book to get Trump out of the presidency, and it worked - barely. As a result, we need to understand what they did to make sure further elections are controlled by no one but the American people.

Explore the geologic history of glaciers, tsunamis, earthquakes, and volcanoes as well as the ways humans shape the Seattle topography. From backyards to downtown, watch for coyotes, crows, seals, otters, owls, and so much more wildlife who also call the region home. Look up at the buildings to find terra cotta eagles, stone that traveled over millions of years from Asia to the San Juan Islands, and clues to the horses who used to power the city's transportation network. Wrap your arms around a giant Douglas-fir, appreciate the unsung yet remarkable skunk cabbage, stop and listen to the spring chorus of frogs.
