Sinopse

Aztec Pyramid Myths explores the profound religious significance of Aztec pyramids, revealing them as more than just temples. These monumental structures were central to Aztec society, serving as representations of their cosmos and facilitating communication with powerful gods like Huitzilopochtli, Tlaloc, and Quetzalcoatl. By examining the pyramids' construction, function, and symbolism, the book uncovers deep insights into Aztec theology, ritual practices, and worldview. The book uniquely combines archaeological evidence with mythological interpretations to provide a comprehensive understanding.

 
Beginning with an overview of Aztec history and key deities, the narrative progresses to detailed analyses of pyramid architecture and rituals, focusing on sites like the Templo Mayor in Tenochtitlan. Finally, it delves into the mythological narratives associated with the pyramids, showcasing how these stories shaped the Aztec understanding of the world and their place within it. This approach sheds light on how the Aztecs used religious symbolism to maintain cosmic balance.

    Retired and relaxing at the pool on a hot, sunny Texas afternoon was the perfect way to start summer early. Life was perfect. 
    So they thought. 
    Clark and his wife, Jamie, are the proud parents of two adopted girls. Clark is a Christian who became a believer in adulthood. His faith has been his guide and was the foundation of how he and his wife raised the children. 
    Life was perfect. 
    Suddenly, life was not perfect. In fact, Clark and Jamie lived Job’s life from the Old Testament. It seemed as if everything around them was being taken from them. Life was no longer perfect. It was on that hot sunny day in Texas when their youngest daughter was ripped away from their family. Kidnapped! 
    This story is the true account of lies, deceit, delusions, and corruption. The belief in their justice system crumbled. Guilty! Before proven innocent is the new lay of the land. Evil is now disguised as what is called: “Protective Services” … Child Protective Services. 
    This book contains true facts and events that have been carefully checked and documented. Only the names have been changed. 
    Will Clark and Jamie ever get their daughter back? Or will they face more problems after challenging the system? What will happen to a disabled teenager lost in the system? Should Clark and Jamie just be quiet, or should they speak out? When did it become legal to kidnap a child? 
    This big question is: Is it right for them to confront the regime? 
    Life is not always perfect. 
    However, they have a perfect God.

    Society shapes law… and law shapes society.
    We like to imagine that progress comes about when Parliament spots a looming groundswell in public opinion and responds by changing the laws that govern our daily lives. This is not always true.
    In this fascinating book, Inigo Bing unravels ten legal cases in which the decisions of judges or a jury either heralded a shift in outlook or forced Parliament to respond to simmering social change.
    Some of these cases demonstrate the role judges have in defending our civil liberties against overweening executive power, articulating inherent unwritten rights Parliament would prefer to keep quiet about. Others explore what happens when rapid technological or social change outpaces government, placing urgent ethical dilemmas in the lap of the court. All of them have had a lasting impact on the society we inhabit.
    Taken together, these stories provide a powerful insight into eighty years of British social, political and cultural history, illustrating why legal cases are just as important to making our world as laws written by Parliament or grassroots changes within society.

    Love, for Emerson, is neither simple nor sweet. It is a force—wild, untamable, and yet profoundly human. In Love, he explores the deep currents that pull us together and push us apart, not with the softness of romance, but with the clarity of a philosopher who sees love as a transformative, even unsettling, experience. It is not just an emotion, but a vital, unpredictable energy that shapes and redefines us.
    Emerson doesn't idealize love; he insists on its complexity. Love is not confined to the idealized versions we carry in our minds but is found in the messy, uncharted spaces between souls. It disrupts, challenges, and sometimes wounds, yet in its wake, it leaves growth, change, and deeper understanding. It is not meant to comfort us, but to push us beyond who we are—reminding us of our deepest needs and our highest potential.
    Love is not a mere feeling to be enjoyed, but an idea to be wrestled with. It stands as an invitation: to reflect, to confront, to discover. In reading Emerson's words, you may not find an answer to love's mysteries, but you may come to understand why it is, in all its forms, so essential, so urgent, so profoundly human.

    A new assessment of the Falklands War from the Argentine perspective.
    
    In 1982, the United Kingdom and Argentina fought a war over an historical disagreement over the colonial “ownership” or rights over the Falkland Islands. Within months of the Argentinian defeat, General Edgardo Calvi, then the Argentine Head of the Army Joint Chief of Staff, was instructed to undertake a wide-ranging and formal inquiry to investigate the performance of the Argentine Army during the Falklands. Calvi concluded that while the Army had the motivation, it lacked the organization, equipment, training, and ability to oppose an army capable of operating in a variety of environments. The war exposed political, military, and public weaknesses in a period of considerable internal unrest during the seven years of the Dirty War. Several senior officers who fought in the Falklands were imprisoned for offenses committed during the Dirty War. Secrecy and political disagreements isolated the Service chiefs of staff from the logistic and operational planning. This book tells the story of the Falklands War from the Argentine Army perspective.
