Sinopsis

Cursed Temples explores the captivating phenomenon of sacred sites believed to be afflicted by divine retribution. It delves into the historical, religious, and cultural factors that contribute to the enduring myths surrounding these places. The book argues that the idea of cursed temples isn't just about supernatural beliefs; it reflects a blend of historical realities, social anxieties, and humanity's search for explanations. For example, plagues or political instability often led to a temple's abandonment, later giving rise to stories of a curse. 

 
The study of cursed temples reveals profound insights into human psychology and the power of belief. The narratives of divine punishment serve as cautionary tales, preserving cultural memory. The book examines case studies from ancient Egypt, Greece, Mesoamerica, and Southeast Asia. Cursed Temples analyzes historical and social factors underlying the perception of a temple as cursed. Finally, it explores how these myths persist through folklore, literature, and popular culture.

 
This book's unique value lies in its multidisciplinary approach, blending archaeology, anthropology, and history. It provides a clear, accessible account of how cultural heritage and religious beliefs shape our understanding of the past and present. By drawing on archaeological records, ancient texts, and ethnographic studies, Cursed Temples offers a nuanced understanding of these issues.

Results - Getting Beyond...

Charlie Baker, Steve Kadish

Governor Charlie Baker, one of the most popular governors in the United States, with a reputation for getting things done, wants to put the service back into public service: "Wedge issues may be great for making headlines," he writes, "but they do not move us forward. Success is measured by what we accomplish together. Our obligation to the people we serve is too important to place politics and partisanship before progress and results." 
 
 
 
For the Governor and his longtime associate Steve Kadish, these words are much more than political platitudes. They are at the heart of a method for delivering results—and getting past politics—the two developed while working together in top leadership positions in the public and private sectors. 
 
 
 
Distilled into a four-step framework, Results is the much-needed implementation guide for anyone in public service, as well as for leaders and managers in large organizations hamstrung by bureaucracy and politics. With a broad range of examples, Baker, a Republican, and Kadish, a Democrat, show how to move from identifying problems to achieving results in a way that bridges divides instead of exacerbating them. They show how government can be an engine of positive change and an example of effective operation, not just a hopeless bureaucracy.
