Sinopsis

Aztec Warfare explores how the Aztec Empire, a relatively small group, dominated Mesoamerica through its sophisticated military system. The book examines the Aztecs' military organization, weaponry, tactics, and the role of ritual warfare. Readers will learn the Aztec army possessed a complex command structure and logistical support enabling sustained military campaigns. Also, the controversial practice of sacrificial captivity intertwined military action with religious belief. 

 
The book progresses logically, beginning with the historical context before delving into the structure of the Aztec army, weaponry, and battlefield tactics. Finally, it explores the religious dimensions of Aztec Warfare.

 
By drawing on archaeological evidence, indigenous codices, and Spanish accounts, Aztec Warfare avoids simplistic portrayals of the Aztecs as solely bloodthirsty warriors. Instead, it analyzes their military system as an integrated part of their society, offering valuable insights into pre-Columbian military history.

  • Ethnology - Cultural Connections: The Study of Human Groups - cover

    Ethnology - Cultural...

    Ethnology is a branch of anthropology that focuses on the systematic study and comparison of cultures. It examines the origins, development, distribution, and interrelations of different human societies. Unlike ethnography, which involves detailed, first-hand observations of a single culture, ethnology takes a broader approach, analyzing data collected from multiple ethnographic studies to identify patterns, differences, and universal traits among human groups. By studying cultural practices, languages, beliefs, social structures, and histories, ethnology seeks to understand how societies evolve and how cultural factors influence human behavior. 
    The importance of ethnology lies in its ability to foster a deeper understanding of human diversity. In an increasingly interconnected world, recognizing the complexity of cultural differences is crucial for promoting tolerance, cooperation, and peaceful coexistence. Ethnology helps dispel misconceptions and stereotypes by providing a scientific framework for understanding how cultures adapt to their environments and interact with one another. This understanding is essential not only for academic purposes but also for addressing real-world issues such as globalization, migration, and cultural preservation. 
    Ethnology also plays a vital role in tracing the historical development of societies. By comparing myths, rituals, kinship systems, and legal codes, ethnologists can reconstruct past interactions between communities, shedding light on human history beyond written records. This comparative analysis allows scholars to explore how ideas, technologies, and social institutions spread and transform across regions and time periods. Such insights contribute to a more comprehensive understanding of human civilization and its shared heritage.

    More people traveled internationally in 2019 than in any year in history. After COVID began its rapid spread throughout the world, though, international travel plummeted, and nations across the world hardened their borders. For the first time, governments took the same tools that have been used against less privileged migrants and asylum seekers and turned them on citizens from countries that had long enjoyed relatively unfettered travel—and sometimes on their own citizens. 
     
     
     
    In When the World Closed Its Doors, Edward Alden and Laurie Trautman tell the story of how nearly every country in the world shut its borders and explain how this global shock to the system ended up transforming state border policies around the world. They detail the consequences of the COVID border restrictions and explain why governments used their harshest containment measures on those coming from outside. Throughout, Alden and Trautman focus on human stories to show the multiple impacts that states' increasing restrictiveness has had—economic, demographic, social, and political. 
     
     
     
    A sweeping overview of the re-bordering of the world, both during and after 2020, this synthetic, wide-angle view of a singular shock to the international systems of travel and migration highlights why citizens need better protections and governments more robust guardrails.

    Magic. Mayhem. Soap. 
    Well, this went well, didn't it? So let's just go down the list and visit some more old schoolmates. Luckily, they aren't too hard to find, thanks to the magic of internet porn sites. And isn't it interesting the stuff you can find there? Time to go and get a private shoot with soap. 
    Right. I'm not sure it can get any steamier, but I'm certainly going to try. Which is to say, there's getting served in every hole and quite possibly some smattering of pee play and domination thrown into the mix, just for good measure. And soap.

    Barbara Jenkins writes about the experiences of a personal and family-centred life in Trinidad with great psychological acuteness, expanding on the personal with a deep awareness of the economic, social and cultural contexts of that experience. She writes about a childhood and youth located in the colonial era and an adult life that began at the very point of Trinidad's independent nationhood, a life begun in poverty in a colonial city going through rapid change. It is about a life that expanded in possibility through an access to an education not usually available to girls from such an economic background. This schooling gave the young Barbara Jenkins the intense experience of being an outsider to Trinidad's hierarchies of race and class. She writes about a life that has gender conflict at its heart, a household where her mother was subject to beatings and misogynist control, but also about strong matriarchal women.
    As for so many Caribbean people, opportunity appeared to exist only via migration, in her case to Wales in the 1960s. But there was a catch in the arrangement that the years in Wales had put to the back of her mind: the legally enforceable promise to the Trinidadian government that in return for their scholarship, she had to return. She did, and has lived the rest of her life to date in Trinidad, an experience that gives her writing an insider/outsider sharpness of perception.
    'From her childhood in colonial Port of Spain, to becoming a migrant student and young mother in Wales and then returning to Trinidad post-Independence, Jenkins tells her own life story with the emotional sensitivity of a natural storyteller, the insight of a philosopher, the scope of a historian and the good humour of a Trini. This beautifully written and moving memoir will feel achingly familiar to anyone who knows what it is like to navigate race, class and girlhood while growing up in the West Indies, anyone who has ever felt like an outsider.' Ayanna Lloyd Banwo, author of When We Were Birds.

    Once Upon a Place - Forests...

    Once Upon a Place explores narratives from modern film, famous fairy tales, and ancient mythology to define the five core locations that shape every story: the Cavern, the Deep, the Vessel, the Forest, and the Labyrinth. 
     
     
     
    Popularized by Joseph Campbell, the hero's journey features narrative stages along which a person matures and transforms. But where heroes transform is just as important as what they do to get there. Holly Bellebuono shows you how the location of each hero's journey step is intimately tied to the challenges faced, setting the tone for the entire adventure. 
     
     
     
    To illustrate each location, Bellebuono shares fifteen original adaptations—such as the tales of Persephone, Gilgamesh, Cerridwen, and Alice—to explore how the "sense of place" drives the adventure and outcome. From Innana's descent into the Cavern to Snow White entering the Forest, this book offers powerful wisdom about personal growth, life's purpose, and the origins of creativity.
