Sinossi

Strabo's seminal work, "The Geography of Strabo (Vol.1-3)," serves as an invaluable resource for understanding the ancient world through a geographical lens. Composed in the first century BCE, this encyclopedic text blends meticulous observations with rich historical narrative, illustrating the interplay between geography, culture, and politics across various regions of the known world. Strabo'Äôs unique literary style, characterized by a blend of eloquent prose and vivid descriptions, invites readers to explore the landscapes of Greece, Rome, and beyond, while situating them within a broader historical and philosophical context. His thoughtful integration of aerial perspectives and regional ethnography establishes this work as a precursor to modern geographical thought and mapping practices. Strabo, a Hellenistic scholar from Amasya, was deeply influenced by his extensive travels throughout the Mediterranean and Near East, as well as by the intellectual currents of his time, including Platonic and Aristotelian philosophies. His multifaceted background as a historian, geographer, and philosopher deeply informs the analytic rigor and observational depth of his geography. Through these volumes, Strabo aims to convey not only the physical layouts of places but also their cultural essence and significance to the Roman Empire. This indispensable text is highly recommended for scholars and enthusiasts of geography, history, and classical studies. "The Geography of Strabo" invites readers to engage with the ancient world in a profoundly new way, as it elucidates the importance of spatial awareness in understanding human civilizations. The work'Äôs enduring relevance and Strabo's astute insights promise to enrich any reader'Äôs comprehension of both ancient and modern geographical thought.

Why Did She Jump? - My...

Joan E. Childs

There is one day in Joan Childs' life that she wishes she could do over: the day her daughter, Pam, a brilliant psychotherapist, plunged from a 15-story building to her death. In this vivid memoir, Childs, a psychotherapist, explains how her daughter's life was taken by the most unforgiving of executioners: bipolar disorder. It was the delusions, not her daughter, who made the final decision to end her life. 
Why Did She Jump? provides an intimate, uncompromising look into one mother's search for peace, understanding, and clarity amid the chaos surrounding her daughter's tragic death. It is a masterful recounting of the events leading up to her suicide and lifts the veil of shame and secrecy as it forges a path toward understanding mental illness. 
Even though Pam and Joan were skilled therapists, Pam could not be saved. Joan recounts vivid memories of Pam's life, the highs and lows, the red flags; how her daughter healed unreachable patients while she unraveled; and how she fooled everyone into thinking she was stable. 
With searing honesty and great insight, Childs offers a rallying cry of support for anyone going through a similar struggle.

The Colony - Faith and Blood in...

Sally Denton

On the morning of November 4, 2019, a caravan of women and children was ambushed by masked gunmen on a desolate stretch of road in northern Mexico controlled by the Sinaloa drug cartel. Firing semi-automatic weapons, the attackers killed nine people and gravely injured five more. The victims were members of the LeBaron and La Mora communities—fundamentalist Mormons whose forebears broke from the LDS Church and settled in Mexico when their religion outlawed polygamy in the late nineteenth century. The massacre produced international headlines for weeks, and prompted President Donald Trump to threaten to send in the US Army. 
 
 
 
In The Colony, Sally Denton delves into the complex story of the LeBaron clan. Their homestead—Colonia LeBaron—is a portal into the past, a place that offers a glimpse of life within a polygamous community on an arid and dangerous frontier in the mid-1800s, though with smartphones and machine guns. Rooting her narrative in written sources as well as interviews with anonymous women from LeBaron itself, Denton unfolds an epic, disturbing tale that spans the first polygamist emigrations to Mexico through the LeBarons' internal blood feud in the 1970s and up to the family's recent alliance with the NXIVM sex cult, whose now-imprisoned leader, Keith Raniere, may have based his practices on the society he witnessed in Colonia LeBaron.
