Sinopse

Drums Echoed unveils the profound role of drums, exploring how they transcended mere musical instruments to shape societies. Delving into drumming traditions worldwide, the book reveals how drums served as vital tools for long-distance communication, strategic assets in warfare, and central components of spiritual rituals.

 
Discover how sophisticated signaling systems using drums developed in African societies allowed for rapid information transmission, and how war drums instilled both fear in enemies and courage in warriors. Examining historical accounts and ethnomusicological research, the book illustrates the evolution of drumming practices across diverse regions. It begins by introducing the physics of sound and drum construction before detailing the evolution of drumming traditions across Africa, Asia, and the Americas.

 
Specific case studies highlight the drum's role in battles, ceremonies, and community gatherings. Ultimately, Drums Echoed argues that drums acted as a fundamental technology fostering social cohesion and cultural expression. By connecting musicology, anthropology, and history, the book offers a holistic understanding, concluding with the enduring legacy of these traditions in modern music.

    “The unexamined life is not worth living.” What makes someone die for their beliefs? Four Texts on Socrates explores one of history’s most influential thinkers through three of Plato’s dialogues—Euthyphro, Apology, and Crito—and Aristophanes’ satirical play The Clouds. 
    Each work reveals a different side of Socrates. In Euthyphro, he questions the nature of piety and morality. Apology presents his bold defense at trial, where he declares his pursuit of truth worth any cost. In Crito, he refuses to escape prison, choosing to die rather than betray justice. Finally, The Clouds offers a comic, critical portrayal of Socrates as an eccentric sophist, reflecting Athenian tensions toward his radical ideas. 
    Together these texts paint a portrait of a man who challenged authority, questioned tradition, and inspired generations to examine their own lives. Socrates’ humility—“I know that I know nothing”—and his courage in facing death remain deeply relevant. 
    This collection invites readers into timeless philosophical questions: What is justice? How should we live? What is truth worth? Engaging and provocative, these works challenge us, as Socrates did, to think for ourselves.

    Rome Reawakened concludes the Twilight Reshaped trilogy by exploring the long arc of Rome's cultural, political, and philosophical legacy across time and space. Set in a world where Rome's ideals have evolved into a planetary civilization and beyond, this final volume examines how the Republic reinvents itself through artificial intelligence, democratic rebirths, decentralized governance, and interstellar memory. Through rich storytelling and speculative insights, it asks the enduring question: What does it mean for a civilization to never fall—but to change forever? This is not just the story of Rome. It is the story of every society that dares to carry the past into the future without being defined by it.

    From Croatia to the Canefields. Marija's idyllic early childhood on the beautiful Croatian island of Korčula is brutally disrupted by the invasion of the Italians and then the Nazis in 1941, bringing death and destruction. The devastation has left families struggling to survive years after the war has ended. In 1950 an opportunity arrives for 17-year-old Marija to escape the hunger and despair all around her by committing herself to a complete stranger in faraway North Queensland, through a proxy marriage. Taking the plunge, she leaves her family and friends, her culture and everything she has ever known, to sail 12,000 km to a future in a land where she knows nothing and no one, whose language she doesn't speak. Is it a chance for a better life? Will her husband be a good man? Will she ever see her family again? This is the true story of an incredibly courageous young woman who risks all in her quest to escape a still-traumatised Europe.

    What if the key to unlocking your potential and achieving your most ambitious goals lies in mastering one single skill? That skill is willpower—a resource that drives discipline, focus, and the ability to resist distractions. 
    What Is Willpower? 
    Willpower is like a muscle—it gets tired when overused, but it can also be trained and strengthened over time. It’s the driving force behind saying “no” to temptations, “yes” to healthy choices, and staying on track even when the path gets tough. The problem? It’s a finite resource. Every decision you make chips away at your willpower reserves, making it essential to learn how to protect and replenish this vital strength. 
    Why Does It Matter? 
    From overcoming procrastination to managing finances, willpower is at the heart of many challenges we face daily. Lack of self-control can lead to missed opportunities, unhealthy habits, and unfulfilled potential. But here’s the good news: research shows that willpower isn’t fixed. It can be nurtured, expanded, and wielded more effectively through simple, actionable strategies.
