Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although Near Eastern languages and the history of the exact sciences are known for being obscure and deliberately arcane to general audiences, Alice Slotsky has paradoxically established her legacy by exposing these topics to a wider audience. As a visiting professor at Brown University, Slotsky has taught more students than any previous Assyriologist and successfully brought this discipline to a wider audience than previously imagined possible. This volume, with articles written by former students, as well as colleagues, pays tribute to her broad interests.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the Summer of 2018, Warren Stoddard II traveled to Syria, a country embroiled in a nearly decade-long civil war that had become the twenty-first century's bloodiest conflict. There, he joined the international units of the YPG, a Kurdish militia leading the fight against ISIS. His story, told here through interlaced works of short fiction, memoir, and journal entries, gives an intimate portrait of the lives of internationalists fighting in northeastern Syria during the final days of the YPG's war against the Islamic State: what they left behind, what they hoped to achieve, and what they were willing to sacrifice for the freedom of a people and a land that were not their own.

Download or read book The Tigris and Euphrates Rivers written by Earle Rice and published by Mitchell Lane Publishers, Inc.. This book was released on 2012-09-30 with total page 52 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There are few rivers in the world which can boast a history as long and as colorful as the Tigris and Eurphrates. Known in ancient times as Mesopotamia, the region between the two rivers and surrounding them is called the “Cradle of Civilization.” Sumer, the world’s first major civilization, originated and grew up on the banks of the two rivers because of the fertile soil the rivers helped to produce. Several other important civilizations, such as Babylonia and Assyria, followed Sumer in succeeding centuries. Many of the world’s most important inventions, such as writing, originated here. But all is not well with the rivers today. Several countries compete for the previous, life–giving water of the Tigris and Euphrates. Climate change threatens to reduce the amount of this water.
Download or read book Euphrates River Valley Settlement written by Edgar Peltenberg and published by Oxbow Books. This book was released on 2007-07-11 with total page 503 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pre-state ceremonial monuments, rich mortuary arrangements, forts, walled settlements and temples: all these occur in a narrow stretch of the Euphrates River valley prior to the rise of Carchemish, one of the major capital cities of the Ancient Near East. This well-illustrated book examines recently discovered evidence from the hinterlands of archaeologically inaccessible Carchemish in its regional context. Amongst the 18 contributors Tony Wilkinson characterizes the neighbouring regions of Carchemish, Guy Bunnens elaborates on a site hierarchy within the valley and Gioacchino Falsone appraises unpublished records from excavations at Carchemish itself. These material culture studies are important for those interested in the emergence of complex societies that do not conform to the Mesopotamian paradigm.

Download or read book Our Majestic Rivers Nature s Lifelines Part 4 written by Amrahs Hseham and published by Mahesh Dutt Sharma. This book was released on 2024-01-05 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The rivers within these stories are not confined by national boundaries or limited to a single cultural lens. They traverse diverse landscapes, carrying with them the collective wisdom of humanity. This collection seeks to embrace this diversity, offering narratives that reflect the multiplicity of voices along the riverbanks. From the sacred narratives of the Ganges to the industrial echoes of the Rhine, each story contributes to the symphony of human experience. As we immerse ourselves in this mosaic of voices, we gain a deeper understanding of the interconnectedness that defines our world. Amid the stories told, there are narratives left untold—the voices silenced by history, the ecosystems imperiled by neglect, and the communities marginalized by systemic inequities. This collection is a testament to the ongoing journey of inclusivity, recognizing that the river of human experience is vast and ever-evolving. It is an acknowledgment of the unseen narratives that shape our world and a commitment to amplifying voices that deserve to be heard. "Our Majestic Rivers: Nature’s Lifelines" is an invitation to embark on a literary voyage—one that mirrors the eternal journey of rivers. As we navigate these narratives, we become travelers along the currents of time, carried by the stories that have shaped the landscapes we call home. In the ripples of these tales, we discover the reflection of our shared humanity and the profound impact we have on the rivers that sustain us.
