After the Sea Peoples cast aside the old world order at the end of the Bronze Age, a number of kingdoms in Anatolia filled the power vacuum for at least a few centuries, including the Phrygians and Lydians, and the Achaemenid Persian Empire would forge the world’s largest empire with Anatolia as its heartland, but a number of Greek cities also began to pop up, and over the course of the region’s turbulent history, their fortunes would rise and fall. Smyrna was one of the various cities that enjoyed brief yet important periods of influence in which they spawned important dynasties, were the scenes of history-changing battles, and were the sites of great advances in philosophy, science, and economics. However, despite the fact it endured in influence for more than 2,000 years, Smyrna never truly gained the reputation of better-known locales in the ancient world. Likewise, Miletus was an ancient city located on the west coast of present-day Turkey, which allowed it to become one of the most important places in Anatolia, linking the Hellenistic world with the great civilizations of Babylon, Egypt, and eventually Persia. Over time, Miletus was ruled by the Minoans, Mycenaeans, Hittites, Ionians, Persians, Seleucids, Attalids, Romans, Byzantines, Seljuk Turks, and Ottomans. Perhaps not surprisingly, it had a massive influence on the Western world during the 6th and 5th centuries BCE, as a revolution in human thinking took place there. Although it is no longer quite as well remembered as it was thousands of years ago, one of the most important cities in the ancient world was Ephesus, a city that dates back nearly 3,000 years and can lay claim to the Temple of Artemis, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. All of these cities had to deal cautiously with the Achaemenid Persians, but the Greco-Persian Wars also set the Achaemenids on a path with Alexander the Great.Ver libro

Jonathan Bartho's Whistling Dixie explores the interdependent political relationship between Ronald Reagan and the white conservative South—a relationship that had a profound impact on Reagan's own career, on the political landscape of the South and the entire United States, and on the identity of the modern Republican Party. Millions of southerners were attracted to the GOP by Reagan's anti-statist ideology and their affection for the man himself—an affection that had been built over decades of appearances in the region. The support of these white southern conservatives was crucial to Reagan's political success, ultimately propelling him to the White House in 1980. Conversely, by supporting Reagan's presidential campaigns, southern conservatives were able to influence the direction of the Republican Party and begin restoring their region to a position of power in Washington. Bartho deftly provides a new perspective on Reagan's political career and the Republican Party of the Reagan era while detailing the often-rancorous philosophical differences between Reaganism and southern conservatism and the resulting political conflicts. Whistling Dixie highlights a divide in the Republican Party and in American conservatism that has often been overlooked—a divide that laid the foundations for the GOP's southernization and ultimately led to the rise of Donald Trump.Ver libro
Phonology is the branch of linguistics that deals with the study of sound systems in language. It focuses on how sounds are used and organized in particular languages, and how they contribute to meaning. Phonology is a key component of linguistics, as it helps us understand the structure of speech and how language functions at a fundamental level. The study of phonology is concerned not only with individual speech sounds, known as phonemes, but also with how these sounds interact with each other within the rules of a given language. Unlike phonetics, which focuses on the physical properties of speech sounds, phonology is primarily concerned with how these sounds function within a linguistic system. Phonology is essential for understanding the patterns and regularities in how sounds are produced and interpreted by speakers of a language. It provides insight into the ways in which sound systems vary across languages and how they are structured in the mind. Phonological systems may include a variety of elements, such as consonants, vowels, syllables, stress patterns, and intonation, each of which plays a crucial role in forming the spoken word. Phonology helps to identify which sounds are significant in a language and how these sounds are perceived and organized.Ver libro
Negotiation expert Kwame Christian's motto is: "The best things in life are on the other side of difficult conversations." If we want a more equitable workplace, and a more equitable world, we have to talk to each other about race. But, for so many of us, that's easier said than done. Many people avoid conversations about race because of fear: fear of discomfort, damaging important relationships, being misunderstood, "canceled," ostracized. How to Have Difficult Conversations About Race equips you with the skills you need to make these crucial conversations easier and more productive. Whether you're looking to create change for yourself and other BIPOC, or a white ally seeking to support your coworkers or clients, you'll learn how to: overcome your internal barriers to talking about diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI); work around others' barriers to productive discussion; be strategic about the outcome you want, and guide the conversation accordingly; use "Compassionate Curiosity" to connect and persuade; avoid common mistakes; and communicate more effectively over email, when you can't talk face to face. If you've ever struggled to turn that passion into persuasion, or been too afraid to speak up at work (or outside of it), this book is for you.Ver libro
