Angkor Wat - Historical Facts...

Kelly Mass

Angkor Wat, in northwest Cambodia, is the world's largest spiritual structure in the shape of a temple complex, with an acreage of 401 +344 acres. A quincunx of 4 towers surrounds a center spire that rises up to a height of 65 meters (213 feet) in the air in the temple's heart. The temple is separated into 3 rectangle-shaped galleries, each of which rises over the one before it. It's surrounded by a 3.6-kilometer-long (24-mile-long) external wall and a five-kilometer-long (three-mile-long) moat. 
The temple was built as the state temple for the Khmer Empire at the demand of Suryavarman II in the early 12th century in Yaodharapura (, contemporary Angkor), the Khmer Empire's capital. It was constructed in the early 12th century to honor the Hindu god Vishnu, but by the end of the century, it had been changed to a Buddhist temple. 
Angkor Wat is a fascinating structure, dating back hundreds of years, and it’s impressive how much of it has remained intact.

For a Dollar and a Dream - State...

Jonathan D. Cohen

Every week, one in eight Americans place a bet on the dream of a life-changing lottery jackpot. Americans spend more on lottery tickets annually than on video streaming services, concert tickets, books, and movie tickets combined. 
 
 
 
The story of lotteries in the United States may seem straightforward: tickets are bought predominately by poor people driven by the wishful belief that they will overcome infinitesimal odds and secure lives of luxury. The reality is more complicated. For a Dollar and a Dream shows how, in an era of stagnant upward mobility, millions of Americans turned to the lottery as their only chance at achieving the American Dream. Gamblers were not the only ones who bet on betting. As voters revolted against higher taxes in the late twentieth century, states saw legalized gambling 
as a panacea, a way of generating revenue without cutting public services or raising taxes. Alongside stories of lottery winners and losers, Jonathan Cohen shows how gamblers have used prayer to help them win a jackpot, how states tried to pay for schools with scratch-off tickets, and how lottery advertising has targeted lower income and nonwhite communities. 
 
 
 
For a Dollar and a Dream charts the untold history of the nation's lottery system, revealing how players and policymakers alike got hooked on hopes for a gambling windfall.

Chile - Historical Revolution...

Anya Solace

Chile’s history is a tapestry woven with threads of indigenous heritage, colonial conquest, political revolution, and economic transformation. Stretching along the western edge of South America, Chile’s unique geography—bordered by the Pacific Ocean to the west and the towering Andes to the east—has shaped not only its physical landscape but also its historical trajectory and economic development. The country’s diverse climates, from the arid Atacama Desert in the north to the fertile central valleys and the rugged, windswept terrain of Patagonia in the south, have influenced settlement patterns, agricultural practices, and resource exploitation for centuries. 
Long before Spanish colonization, Chile was home to numerous indigenous groups, including the Mapuche, who fiercely resisted foreign domination. Their cultural legacy remains an integral part of Chile’s identity, despite centuries of marginalization. The arrival of Spanish conquistadors in the 16th century marked the beginning of a colonial era characterized by the extraction of natural resources, the establishment of a rigid social hierarchy, and the introduction of European institutions. The colonial economy relied heavily on agriculture, mining, and forced indigenous labor, laying the foundation for economic systems that persisted well into the post-independence period. 
Chile’s struggle for independence from Spain in the early 19th century was part of the broader wave of liberation movements sweeping across Latin America. Achieving independence in 1818 under the leadership of figures like Bernardo O’Higgins and José de San Martín, Chile faced the daunting task of nation-building. The early republican period was marked by political instability and power struggles between conservative and liberal factions, each advocating different visions for Chile’s future.

Barking Up the Right Tree - The...

Dr. Ian Dunbar

When Dr. Ian Dunbar introduced his SIRIUS® Puppy Training in 1982, dog training mostly comprised punishing adult dogs for bad habits and lack of compliance. Dunbar focused on verbally cuing and creatively luring to achieve desirable behavior and using "life rewards"—sniffing, walking, play with dogs, and interactive games—to reinforce speedy compliance and good habits from the outset. His "dog's point of view" approach revolutionized the field, and today there are few trainers who have not been strongly influenced by it. 
 
 
 
While positive reinforcement is now widely adopted, this new book details how other reward-training techniques have strayed from Dunbar's original, quick and easy, highly effective lure-reward approach for teaching dogs ESL, in which we can verbally cue specific responses, offer heartfelt praise for success, and give guidance when dogs err. With Dunbar's method, we can teach dogs when and where to eliminate, what to chew, when and for how long to bark, and when and how to appropriately let off steam. 
 
 
 
Barking Up the Right Tree offers proof that aversive punishment seldom works to eliminate undesirable behavior or to get the dog back on track. Dunbar presents numerous nonaversive yet highly effective solutions for misbehavior and noncompliance—simply by using the words you teach, and without even raising your voice.
