  Persian Empires - Persia's...

  This title contains two books, which are these: 
  1 - Safavid Empire - The Safavid Empire, often referred to as Safavid Iran or Safavid Persia, stands out as one of the most influential Iranian empires following the Muslim conquest of Persia in the 7th century. Ruling from 1501 to 1736, the Safavid dynasty is regarded as the catalyst for modern Iranian history and is recognized as one of the prominent gunpowder empires of its time. A pivotal moment in Muslim history, the Safavid rulers established the Twelver school of Shia Islam as the empire's official religion, which fundamentally shaped the spiritual and political landscape of Iran. 
  The origins of the Safavid dynasty can be traced back to a Sufi order founded in the Azerbaijani city of Ardabil. Initially a spiritual movement, the Safavid order transformed into a formidable political force. The dynasty, which had Kurdish Iranian roots, became increasingly Turkified through intermarriages with various ethnic groups, including Turkoman, Georgian, Circassian, and Pontic Greek officials. As a result, the Safavid leaders became Turkish-speaking and culturally integrated into the diverse milieu of the region. 
  2 - Sasanian Empire - The Sasanian Empire, often referred to by historians as the Neo-Persian Empire, was the last significant Iranian empire before the Muslim invasions of the 7th and 8th centuries AD. Named after the House of Sasan, this empire lasted nearly four centuries, from 224 to 651 AD, making it the longest-lived Persian imperial dynasty. The Sasanian Empire emerged during late antiquity, succeeding the Parthian Empire and re-establishing Persian prominence in the region, rivaling the Roman Empire (later known as the Byzantine Empire after 395 AD).

  A manifesto on the state of the non-profit arts sector and the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity leaders have to redefine the business as an investment in our shared social purpose.
  		 
  “The Audacity of Relevance isn’t just for arts leaders but for artists, philanthropists, and arts-loving audiences. It provides a modern look at our organizations and invites us to break the echo chambers we operate in. By forcing us to see the world differently, Alex Sarian asks us to rethink our purpose by leaning into our shared humanity.” — Sarah Arison, Trustee, MoMA
  		 
  The arts and culture sector is in crisis—a crisis of relevance. Whether it’s grappling with dwindling audience sizes, shifting trends in philanthropy, or addressing social challenges, experts have been documenting this slow decline for decades.
  		 
  At the core of Alex Sarian’s international career is the conviction that cultural organizations must embrace a greater civic purpose and build a new business model—one based on the social impact of the arts.
  		 
  Throughout The Audacity of Relevance, Sarian engages in conversations with leaders from across industries to paint a potential future for arts organizations—a future built on measuring our sector’s success by how positively we can influence the many local communities that surround us.
  		 
  It doesn’t matter if you’re a seasoned executive or are just beginning in your career—the principles and anecdotes in this book will inspire you to see the world of arts and culture for what it truly is: filled with endless possibilities for reinvention.

  Are you still suffering from the aftereffects of an abusive relationship? 
    
  Although complicated and frequently perplexing, the answer to the above questions may be summed up in two words: emotional blackmail. 
    
  Emotional blackmail is a sneaky, aggressive tactic in which someone close to us threatens to penalize us, directly or indirectly, if we fail to achieve their expectations. It is a potent manipulation that takes advantage of those with whom you have intimate ties. 
    
  We usually imagine the blackmailer to be selfish, deceitful, and cruel; yet, this viewpoint is a poor explanation for this emotional event since the truth is very different. 
    
  Blackmailers are devious charmers and expert manipulators, so you begin to accept the most extreme behaviour as usual, even if it hurts you. 
    
  THIS MANUAL WILL TEACH YOU THE FOLLOWING: 
   How to recognize the subtle indicators of emotional blackmail and avoid falling into the trap in the future.How to recognize toxic personalities and prevent them.The numerous sorts of blackmail and strategies that blackmailers use to drive you insane regularly.How to Break the Blackmail Chains and Protect Yourself from Their AttacksAttachment and co-dependency patterns can help you understand where all this madness started.How to recover and break free from this destructive cycle once and for all.

  Exodus from the Alamo - The...

  "Contrary to movie and legend, we now know that the defenders of the Alamo in the war for Texan independence—including Davy Crockett, Jim Bowie, and William B. Travis—did not die under brilliant sunlight, defending their positions against hordes of Mexican infantry. Instead, the Mexicans launched a predawn attack, surmounting the walls in darkness, forcing a wild melee inside the fort before many of its defenders had even awoken. In this book, Dr. Tucker, after deep research into recently discovered Mexican accounts and forensic evidence, informs us that the traditional myth of the Alamo is even more off-base: most of the Alamo’s defenders died in breakouts from the fort, cut down by Santa Anna’s cavalry that was positioned to intercept the escapees. A number of the Alamo’s defenders did hang on inside the fort, fighting back every way they could, but most of the Texans, in two groups, broke out of the fort after the enemy had broken in, and the primary fights took place on the plain outside. Still fighting desperately, the Texans’ retreat was halted by cavalry, and afterward, Mexican lancers plied their trade with charges into the midst of the remaining resisters. Notoriously, Santa Anna burned the bodies of the Texans who had dared stand against him. But as this book proves in thorough detail, the funeral pyres were well outside the fort—where the two separate groups of escapees fell on the plain, rather than in the Alamo itself. "
