Book excerpt: Hieroglyphics and cuneiform have restored lost civilizations to us. One ancient civilization, however, has defied archaeologists and has remained beyond their reach: the 4,500 year-old Indus Valley in the Indian sub-continent. Sarasvati Desikan-Raman and Gordon Sutherland, the great-grandchildren of the archaeologists who worked on the site of the Indus Valley in the 1920s of our era, take up the search, undaunted by this awe-inspiring history of impossible dreams. They accompany archaeologist Galina Bogdanova and forensic anthropologist Warad-mur-raman to the ancient ruins of Hampi in South India, ruins that might reveal clay tablets chronicling - in cuneiform and the Indus script - the life and violent death of Sai-an-ki, priestess queen of the Great Adorers, a cult that worships the Sumerian goddess Inanna. Will they find the tablets and unlock the secrets of that 4,500 year-old civilization?

Download or read book Habitations of the Veil written by Rebecka Rutledge Fisher and published by SUNY Press. This book was released on 2014-06-12 with total page 444 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A hermeneutical study of metaphor in African American literature. In Habitations of the Veil, Rebecka Rutledge Fisher uses theory implicit in W. E. B. Du Boiss use of metaphor to draw out and analyze what she sees as a long tradition of philosophical metaphor in African American literature. She demonstrates how Olaudah Equiano, Frances Ellen Watkins Harper, Zora Neale Hurston, Richard Wright, and Ralph Ellison each use metaphors to develop a critical discourse capable of overcoming the limits of narrative language to convey their lived experiences. Fishers philosophical investigations open these texts to consideration on ontological and epistemological levels, in addition to those concerned with literary craft and the politics of black identity.

Download or read book Breaking the Veil of Silence written by Jobst Bittner and published by TOS Verlag. This book was released on 2013-07-11 with total page 195 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Veil of Silence concerns you more than you think! You come across it at every turn, whether in your personal life, in your family, in your church or congregation, or in your cities and nations. The Veil of Silence is the reason for inner coldness, loneliness, and the sense of being lost in darkness. Once you break it, you will be able to receive the immeasurable blessing of God and the authority to change your surroundings with His love. Every nation carries its own burden of guilt and trauma that is passed down through the generations, while a Veil of Silence prevents reconciliation, healing, and restoration. The German pastor, theologian, and activist, Jobst Bittner, writes in the light of the experience of German history. Hitler and the Holocaust caused a spiritual eclipse in Germany and covered entire generations with a Veil of Silence. Today, Germany is blessed and the country of "unmerited grace". If Breaking the Veil of Silence was possible in Germany, how much more so in your life, family, and nation? Through a captivating blend of history, theology, and psychology, Jobst Bittner provides a brave, discerning perspective on this Veil of Silence and proves that the weight of history can be lifted. It is a powerful and practical intervention and spiritual guide to reclaim our authority by uprooting all destructive tendencies of covering up the past, uncovering our own family history, rediscovering the Jewish roots of our faith, and moving forward into action. Once the veil is lifted, true healing, restoration, and change can begin.

This book was released on 2021-08-26 with total page 369 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Augustine of Hippo's The City of God is generally considered to be one of the key works of Late Antiquity.

This Companion volume includes specially-commissioned essays by an international team of scholars that provide new insights into The City of God. Offering commentary on each of this massive work's 22 books chapters, they sequentially and systematically explore The City of God as a whole. Collectively, these essays demonstrate the development and coherence of Augustine's argument. The volume will be an invaluable resource for students and scholars of ancient and contemporary theology, philosophy, cultural studies, and political theory.
Download or read book Tearing the Veil RLE Feminist Theory written by Susan Lipschitz and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2012-11-12 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This a collection of essays about women, by women, which examine the production of femininity within a patriarchal society. The essays show that characteristics generally considered to be ‘feminine’ are in fact cultural constructions within a patriarchal order. The patriarchal culture is taken by us to be a system of meanings, as well as power relations, which pervades our view of women at both a conscious and an unconscious level. The symbolism of the rituals, myths, art works and polemics examined in the essays is related to the ways women are psychically constructed and constrained by the dominant heterosexual order. The Mother, the Witch, the Whore, the Pure Woman, the Amazon and the Free Woman are considered and the contributors make extensive use of original source material to give force to the argument that the stereotypic view of a feminine woman as naturally and inevitably weak, passive and powerless is one that can be seriously challenged.

Sometimes, the demons fight back...and every once in a while, the demon wins. That's because that particular demon is all your very own. ________________________________________________________________________ Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned-especially the woman scorned by the King of Hell himself.

Luminea will use Chiara to ensure the future of her empire and to burn away her painful past with the man who'd stolen everything from her, so long ago. Unknowingly, that's exactly the guy to who Simon turns for help. He makes the ultimate deal with Chiara's father to get her back...but he'll have the Devil to pay. ________________________________________________________________________ Praise for CHARM CITY (The Demon Whisperer #1): "I actually read it twice and I have to say I enjoyed it even more when I went back and was able to see all the little hints the author put in. I can't wait to read what happens next!" Amazon Reviewer ★★★★★

Book excerpt: With the invasion of Dara complete, and the Wall of Storms breached, the world has opened to new possibilities for the gods and peoples of both empires as the sweeping saga of the award-winning Dandelion Dynasty continues in this third book of the “magnificent fantasy epic” (NPR). Princess Théra, once known as Empress Üna of Dara, entrusted the throne to her younger brother in order to journey to Ukyu-Gondé to war with the Lyucu. She has crossed the fabled Wall of Storms with a fleet of advanced warships and ten thousand people. Beset by adversity, Théra and her most trusted companions attempt to overcome every challenge by doing the most interesting thing. But is not letting the past dictate the present always possible or even desirable? In Dara, the Lyucu leadership as well as the surviving Dandelion Court bristle with rivalries as currents of power surge and ebb and perspectives spin and shift. Here, parents and children, teachers and students, Empress and Pékyu, all nurture the seeds of plans that will take years to bloom. Will tradition yield to new justifications for power? Everywhere, the spirit of innovation dances like dandelion seeds on the wind, and the commoners, the forgotten, the ignored begin to engineer new solutions for a new age. Ken Liu returns to the series that draws from a tradition of the great epics of our history from the Aeneid to the Romance on the Three Kingdoms and builds a new tale unsurpassed in its scope and ambition.

Book excerpt: Rain lashed against the Victorian townhouse, each drop a staccato note on the cobblestones below. Detective Inspector Eira Davies pulled her collar tighter, a shiver snaking down her spine despite the heavy wool coat. The iron railing felt cold against her palm as she peered into the gaping maw of the open door. A yellow crime scene tape blocked the way, stark against the gloom. This wasn't her usual stomping ground – the elegant streets of Kensington were a world away from the gritty back alleys of Whitechapel where Eira honed her skills. But tonight, fate, or perhaps a perverse sense of irony, had delivered her here.
