Beschreibung

In "Mexican Archæology," Thomas Athol Joyce meticulously investigates the rich tapestry of Mexico's ancient civilizations, delving into their artistic, cultural, and historical legacies. The book is a quintessential exploration woven with analytical depth and rich descriptions, reflecting Joyce's command of the archaeological field. Each chapter seamlessly integrates meticulous research with vivid illustrations, making the complex interplay of Mexico's pre-Columbian societies accessible and engaging. Joyce situates his study within a broader intellectual tradition, drawing on both scientific inquiry and historical narratives, thus highlighting the significance of Mexican archæology in understanding human civilization more broadly. Thomas Athol Joyce, a distinguished archaeologist and museum curator, was profoundly influenced by his extensive fieldwork in Latin America and his passion for indigenous cultures. His academic pursuits and firsthand experiences in the burgeoning field of archaeology provide a solid foundation for this work. Joyce's dedication to understanding and preserving the cultural heritage of Mexico mirrors his belief in the importance of archaeology as a bridge connecting past and present societies. I highly recommend "Mexican Archæology" to scholars, students, and enthusiasts alike. This work is not only a scholarly text but also a profound homage to the enduring legacy of Mexico's ancient peoples, prompting readers to appreciate and reflect upon the complexities of human civilization.

    Are you a survivor of childhood sexual abuse? Are you tired of the painful memories of your abuse resurfacing again and again? Do you feel shame, anger, worthlessness, fear, etc. related to the abuse? Have you ever felt that your life has no purpose? Or you are worthless? Have you ever believed that you deserved the abuse? That you'll never get over it? Or that you will never amount to anything now? Then this book is for you. 
    In this book, I share my own story, how I discovered the lies I was living, how I overcame them (along with many other detrimental effects of the abuse), and offer hope and direction along the road to recovery from childhood sexual abuse. My hope is that you can learn something from my story that may set you free from the bondage you are in and open your mind to the fact that a beautiful life is absolutely possible after abuse. 
    The most important takeaways I hope you get from this book are: knowing and believing the abuse was not your fault, happiness every single day and a beautiful, bright future is definitely possible, forgiveness is achievable, and you are simply amazing just the way you are today: All of these takeaways are 100% up to you, but don't worry, I will show you how to get there in the book and the included workbook.

    We may believe that we know all there is to know about ancient secrets. That nothing new can be discovered. But, nothing could be further from the truth. 
     
    We will investigate the origins of civilisation in the tales of Adam and Eve. We will move through the heavens with ancient concepts of astronomy and unravel sacred symbols such as the Ankh. We will visit pyramids and ancient round towers and connect to harmonic frequencies discovered and utilised by our ancestors. And through these we will discover the amazing secrets that our ancestors knew and that subsequent generations have forgotten. We will see how the authorities hid and destroyed evidence and further darkened our vision of the past. But we will finally reveal the sacred secrets that shine a light on the true reality of our very existence. 
     
    Welcome to Ancient Secrets.

    History rarely shines a light on the formidable Mughal begums who boldly navigated the imperial courts, brokered powerful deals, reshaped Delhi's skyline, created private spaces for women, fought battles and resisted patriarchy - all from their place behind the purdah.  
    In Badass Begums, Anoushka Jain introduces you to ten such Mughal-era women whose lives rippled with ambition, romance, intrigue and fierce resilience. Jahanara Begum, Shah Jahan's favourite daughter who designed Chandni Chowk and her sister, the firebrand Roshanara Begum, who schemed with Aurangzeb to take over her father's empire; the invincible Begum Samru, a tawaif-turned-ruler, who led her own army into battles; Maham Anga and Mubarak Begum, whose counsel rivalled that of chief ministers, and the resolute Qudsia Begum who built riverfront gardens only to see them battered by rebellions - these and other stories come alive in a riveting narrative and walking tour maps of the places they lived in or curated.  
    Based on rigorous research and written with warmth, Badass Begums is an eye-opening journey through the breathtaking legacies still hidden in the by-lanes of Delhi.

    "A spellbinding serial voyage in which encounters with islands across time are gathered, displayed and reburnished. Memoir becomes morality, as the oldest human myths challenge present neglect and political malfunction." – Iain Sinclair
    "Illuminating, incisive and beautifully written." – Kirsty Young
    "From ancient Crete to modern Canvey, this is a fascinating voyage around island identity, exploring isolation and imagination through a wealth of stories from around the world." – Martha Kearney
    "A timely and original exploration of the liminalities of islands and the waters that envelop them: by turns beguiling, enchanting and ultimately affirming." – Sir Anthony Seldon
    "This is a huge theme which Mark Easton pursues with vigorous and beautifully clear prose. His archipelagic fascination is contagious. Read this and the maps in your mind will never be quite the same again." – Peter Hennessy
    ***
    No man is an island, wrote John Donne. BBC Home Editor Mark Easton argues the opposite: that we are all islands, and it is upon the contradictory shoreline where isolation meets connectedness, where 'us' meets 'them', that we find out who we truly are.
    Suggesting that a continental bias has blinded us, Easton chronicles a sweep of 250 million years of island history: from Pangaea (the supercontinent mother of all islands) to the first intrepid islanders pointing their canoes over the horizon, from exploration to occupation, exploitation to liberation, a hopeful journey to paradise and a chastening reminder of our planet's fragility.
    But that is only half of this mesmerising book: aided by the muse he names Pangaea, Easton also interweaves reflections on what he calls 'the psychological islands that form the great archipelago of humankind'. Taking readers on an enchanting adventure, he illustrates how understanding islands and island syndrome might help humanity get closer to the truth about itself.
    Brave, intelligent and haunting, Islands is a deep dive into geography, myth, literature, politics and philosophy that reveals nothing less than a map of the human heart.
