Summary

The New York Times–bestselling military analyst offers a collection of essays covering a generation of geopolitics and military policy.   For decades, Ralph Peters has been the most provocative and visionary American writer on military affairs, strategy, security, and intelligence. In that time, he predicted every major trend that has plagued the post-Cold-War world. A career military officer and acclaimed author, he has faced issues ranging from the explosion of religious terrorism to the fatal weaknesses of our intelligence system and our dangerous over-reliance on technology.  Now Peters delves into these and other enduringly vital themes in this definitive, career-spanning collection of his writings. Lines of Fire is an indispensable volume for understanding today’s crises—and tomorrow’s.

    John Ruskin was a Victorian-era writer, art critic, and social thinker who wrote extensively on political economy. He was critical of the industrialization and capitalism that were taking hold in Britain during his time, and he believed that these developments were causing great harm to both the natural environment and human society. 
    Ruskin believed that the capitalist system was inherently flawed because it focused solely on maximizing profits and disregarded the well-being of workers, the environment, and society as a whole. He argued that the pursuit of wealth at all costs led to the exploitation of labor, the destruction of natural resources, and the degradation of art and culture. 
    In response to these problems, Ruskin advocated for a different economic system that was more in tune with the needs of people and the environment. He believed that the economy should be organized around the principles of social justice, sustainability, and community. 
    Ruskin's ideas were influential in the development of the Arts and Crafts movement, which sought to promote traditional crafts and design in opposition to the mass-produced goods of industrial capitalism. His critique of the capitalist system also influenced later socialist and environmental movements.

    This book consists of 6 titles, which are the following: 
    Aztec Mythology - The Aztec Empire, one of the most powerful and complex civilizations of Mesoamerica, was not only remarkable for its military conquests and grand architecture but also for its deeply spiritual and mythological worldview. 
    Inca Mythology - The Inca Empire, at its zenith, spanned much of South America, including present-day Peru, Ecuador, Bolivia, and parts of Chile and Argentina. Known for its advanced architecture, agricultural systems, and administrative organization, the Inca civilization also possessed a deeply spiritual culture. 
    Japanese Mythology - Japanese mythology is a rich tapestry woven from the threads of ancient stories, religious beliefs, and cultural practices that have evolved over centuries. At its core, this mythology provides a window into the Japanese worldview, where nature, spirituality, and humanity are deeply interconnected. 
    Korean Mythology - The unique characteristics of Korean mythology are closely tied to the geography and history of the region. The Korean Peninsula, surrounded by mountains, forests, and the sea, provided a fertile backdrop for the imagination of its people. 
    Maya Mythology - The mythology of the Maya was not an isolated system of stories—it was deeply embedded in every aspect of their daily lives. From the way they organized their cities to the structure of their calendar, mythology shaped their worldview and guided their actions. 
    Native American Mythology - Unlike written records, Native American myths were shared through storytelling, ceremonies, and rituals. This oral tradition allowed stories to evolve, adapting to the needs and experiences of each generation.

    The Growing Roots continues the multigenerational saga of a family forging their legacy on new land. As the family expands, they face the challenges of blending old traditions with new realities, welcoming newcomers, and navigating the complexities of community, trade, and law. Through shared stories, alliances, and the arrival of missionaries and other settlers, the family learns to adapt, preserve their heritage, and deepen their connection to the land and each other. The narrative explores the evolution of customs, the forging of written laws, and the celebration of unity through festivals, all while confronting the ever-present challenges of distance, change, and cultural exchange.
