Summary

"Hittite Kingdom" unveils the significant role of the Hittites, a Bronze Age superpower often overshadowed by better-known civilizations. This book explores the Hittites' sophisticated governance, including the king's role and the 'pankus' council, innovative military strategies like chariot warfare, and intricate diplomatic relations with Egyptian and Mesopotamian powers. The Hittites' interactions weren't isolated; they were part of a complex web of alliances and conflicts that shaped the ancient Near East. Of particular interest is their debated use of iron weaponry and the strategic importance of Hattusa, their capital.

 
The book provides a comprehensive overview, starting with the historical and geographical context of the Hittite Empire. It delves into their unique blend of centralized authority, adaptive military tactics, and shrewd diplomacy. By examining treaties, royal decrees, and military accounts, the book reconstructs a detailed picture of Hittite society.

 
It progresses through the political structure, military innovations, and interactions with neighboring empires, culminating in an analysis of the empire's decline and lasting influence on subsequent Anatolian cultures. This approach emphasizes the interconnectedness of the ancient world.

    Susan Sontag meets Hanif Abdurraqib in this fascinating exploration of the unexpected connections between how we consume images and the insidious nature of Fascism. 
 
 
 
Images come at us quickly, often without context. A photograph of Syrian children suffering in the wake of a chemical attack segues into a stranger's pristine Instagram selfie. Before we can react to either, a new meme induces a laugh and a share. While such constant give and take might seem innocent, even entertaining, this barrage of content numbs our ability to examine critically how the world, broken down into images, affects us. Images without context isolate us, turning everything we experience into mere transactions. It is exactly this alienation that leaves us vulnerable to fascism—a reactionary politics that is destroying not only our lives and our nations, but also the planet's very ability to sustain human civilization. 
 
 
  
Who gets to control the media we consume? Can we intervene, or at least mitigate the influence of constant content? Mixing personal anecdotes with historical and political criticism, Image Control explores art, social media, photography, and other visual mediums to understand how our culture and our actions are manipulated, all the while building toward the idea that if fascism emerges as aesthetics, then so too can anti-fascism.

    From the original English translator of The Emerald Tablets of Thoth! Lost esoteric writings on the metaphysical wisdom and occult history behind the pineal gland - or as it is more frequently known: "the Third Eye". Author Doreal reminds us that Christ called it the "Single Eye", and at one time - eons before Old Testament events, when Earth was still shrouded in mists - it was more prominent in man's physiology.

    Do you remember Beatlemania? Radio Caroline? Mods and Rockers? The very first miniskirts? Then the chances are you were born in the or around 1960.  
To the young people of today, the 1960s seems like another age. But for those who grew up in this decade, school life, 'mod' fashions and sixties pop music are still fresh in their minds. From James Bond to Sindy dolls and playing hopscotch in the street, life was very different to how it is now. After the tough and frugal years of the fifties, the sixties was a boom period, a time of changed attitudes and improved lifestyles. With chapters on home and school life, games and hobbies, music and fashion, this delightful compendium of memories will appeal to all who grew up in this lively era.  
Take a nostalgic look at what it was like to grow up during the sixties and recapture all aspects of life back then.
