Sinossi

Ancient Language Systems explores the fascinating world of ancient and indigenous languages, revealing their importance as repositories of cultural heritage and historical narratives. These languages offer unique insights into the cognitive capabilities and cultural adaptations of diverse societies. One intriguing aspect is how some communities developed complex writing systems as a method of language preservation, showcasing their ingenuity. The book emphasizes that understanding these ancient language systems provides valuable perspectives on language revitalization efforts and the preservation of linguistic diversity today.

 
The book systematically progresses through core linguistic concepts, providing a historical overview before delving into specific case studies. It examines various methods of preservation, including oral traditions and mnemonic devices, and analyzes how these languages have adapted to social and environmental pressures. Drawing from linguistic analyses, archaeological findings, and ethnographic studies, this interdisciplinary approach connects to anthropology, archaeology, and cognitive science.

 
By integrating linguistic analysis with cultural and historical context, the book offers a holistic understanding of these ancient systems, highlighting their resilience and vulnerability.

    Originally delivered as a series of lectures at Trinity College, Cambridge, in A Chorus of Ears Denise Riley meditates upon the emphasis we place upon the persona of the poet, relegating their actual poetry to a second-order importance. Prize culture and the primacy of the poet – as opposed to the poem – transform criticism into a beauty contest, constraining our ability to meet the lyric on its own terms.What, Riley asks, might be discovered about the purpose of poetry, its originary point within our language and more yet besides, when we liberate it from the persona of the author? In allowing the poem to speak, what might we hear?‘One of the most eloquent thinkers about our life in language’ – The Sunday Times

    African mythology is a vast and complex field that encompasses the myths, legends, and spiritual beliefs of numerous cultures across the continent. Unlike mythologies from other parts of the world that often center around a single pantheon or narrative, African mythology is a tapestry of stories that vary widely among regions, tribes, and languages. These myths serve not only as captivating tales but also as the foundation for many African cultural values, ethics, and social norms. Through mythology, African societies have historically explained the mysteries of the universe, human existence, and the relationship between the physical and spiritual realms. The myths often act as a bridge that connects the people to their ancestors, guiding them through life’s challenges, reinforcing traditions, and celebrating the wonders of nature and the supernatural. 
    Myths hold a central place in African culture, weaving through every aspect of life, from religious practices and ceremonies to moral lessons and social structures. They serve as more than just entertainment; they are the backbone of cultural identity, teaching values, history, and spiritual wisdom. In many African communities, myths are used to instill societal values such as respect, bravery, honesty, and the importance of community over individualism. These stories also shape the rituals and ceremonies that mark significant life events, including birth, initiation into adulthood, marriage, and death. Myths give people a sense of belonging and identity, linking them to their ancestors, land, and the unseen forces that govern their world. Through these narratives, individuals are reminded of their place in a larger cosmic order, where human actions and natural elements are interconnected.

    How does a Macho Man become a Macho Man? And what does he do with himself after getting to play "god" as a Vietnam War Commanding Officer of a Rifle Company in combat? This sequel to "Welcome to Vietnam, Macho Man" digs deep into the mind of a Khe Sanh vet. The author, Ernest Spencer, opens up and shares with the world his life experiences from both before and after surviving the longest battle in the Vietnamese War - 77 non-stop days of combat in Khe Sanh.  
    Ernie offers a historical recount of growing up in a bi-racial family in Hawaii, loving and learning from ever present parents, grandparents and extended family and being exposed to military exercises, and heroism from a very early age.  
    How does wartime service change a person?  
    Ernest shares his struggles with finding a place to fit back into the American Dream. Some, like the author, transition back into society very well in the eyes of the world, yet the demons deep inside are grappled with daily. Ernest's undiagnosed PTSD creates havoc in his life. He feels ashamed of himself for surviving the battle of Khe Sanh while he observed so many around him perish. His silence and the sequestering of his feelings inside causes chaos and destruction in his life.  
    Some veterans cannot make the transition back into their former everyday life and spend a large part of their post-war lives suffering outwardly, struggling with drug addiction, and consequently being rejected/ignored by the community around them. Ernest discovers many of these veterans and retells his attempts to rehabilitate and empower them to be healthy and productive adults. Who really stands up and supports veterans with post-war mental illnesses and what are their methods? Enjoy this book, think deeply, and give praise to our brave young soldiers and all that they've endured for our country.
