Sinossi

Erased from History: 11 Books on Extinct Cities is a compelling anthology that probes the silent echoes of vanished civilizations through an intriguing fusion of historical analysis, literary imagination, and archaeological investigation. The collection weaves a tapestry of narratives and scholarly essays, each uncovering the layers of forgotten metropolises. From tales of dreamlike landscapes to probing psychological analyses of cultural memories, the anthology showcases a spectrum of styles from the evocative, poetic musings to methodical scholarly inquiryâ€"capturing the kaleidoscope of human experiences tethered to these sunken realms. Standout works elucidate how these lost cities continue to shape contemporary understandings, though their names may no longer be inscribed in common memory. The contributing authors, a remarkable ensemble ranging from literary icons like William Shakespeare and Gustave Flaubert to pioneering figures in archaeology such as Heinrich Schliemann and Austen Henry Layard, contribute profound insights into the theme of extinction and monumental legacy. Each author, through their unique lens, reflects on the ebb and flow of empires and civilizations, offering insights that resonate with the historical movements of romanticism, psychoanalysis, and cultural preservation. Their confluence enriches the anthology, linking past narratives with present understandings, and underscoring the timeless dialogue between the human mind and the ruins it leaves behind. This anthology invites readers to embark on a journey through time, exploring the multiplicity of human achievement and its eventual absorption into the annals of history. It is an indispensable resource for those eager to comprehend the intricate tapestry of human civilization and its ever-shifting boundaries. As a reader, you will be compelled to engage with different epochs and styles, bridging the gap between lost realms and modern thought. Erased from History offers not just insight, but a vivid reminder of the forgotten cities whose whispers continue to inform our understanding of cultural and historical identity.

    It was the great mystery of its time and still reads like an episode of “Law and Order” today. In December 1910, a wealthy young woman, thought to be sheltered and above reproach, goes missing shortly after being seen in broad daylight on Fifth Avenue in New York City. The police are called in and begin to question those closest to her, only to have her father, a wealthy manufacturer, insist it must be foul play and that his daughter was on good terms with her entire family. Likewise, he claims that though she was in her mid-20s and in the prime of life, she had no serious romantic attachments.  
    By the mid-1930s, Amelia Earhart was one of the most famous women in the world. The American pilot had set a number of altitude and distance records, but she wanted to attempt a circumnavigation of the world. After an ill-fated first attempt, Earhart and Fred Noonan set off on another attempt, creating one of the 20th century’s most enduring mysteries. Earhart and Noonan were to land on Howland Island, 1700 miles southwest of Hawaii, but radio transmissions ceased between the plane and authorities on the ground the morning of July 2, 1937. Earhart and Noonan had disappeared, never to be seen again, despite one of the nation’s largest and costliest manhunts to date. 
    On November 24, 1971, there was little to suggest that the skies above the Pacific Northwest would produce one of the greatest mysteries in American history and a criminal investigation that is still ongoing over 40 years later. However, on the day before Thanksgiving, a man calling himself Dan Cooper boarded Northwest Orient Flight 305 from Portland to Seattle and sat in the rear of the cabin. The identity of the thief who ransomed hostages and then jumped out of a plane with the money that night remains unknown. In fact, his ultimate fate is a mystery.

    Many studies of China's relations with and influence on Southeast Asia tend to focus on how Beijing has used its power asymmetry to achieve regional influence. Yet, scholars and pundits often fail to appreciate the complexity of the contemporary Chinese state and society, and just how fragmented, decentralized, and internationalized China is today. 
     
     
     
    In The Ripple Effect, Enze Han argues that a focus on the Chinese state alone is not sufficient for a comprehensive understanding of China's influence in Southeast Asia. Instead, we must look beyond the Chinese state, to non-state actors from China, such as private businesses and Chinese migrants. These actors affect people's perception of China in a variety of ways, and they often have wide-ranging as well as long-lasting effects on bilateral relations. Looking beyond the Chinese state's intentional influence reveals many situations that result in unanticipated changes in Southeast Asia. Han proposes that to understand this increasingly globalized China, we need more conceptual flexibility regarding which Chinese actors are important to China's relations, and how they wield this influence, whether intentional or not.
