Book excerpt: "An engrossing, multi-faceted guide to that most human of inventions: language. Professor of Linguistics Alaric Naude comprehensively outlines how written language developed and how it shapes human meanings and values. Readers will be fascinated by the book's many historical and cross-cultural accounts, and will come away with a heightened appreciation of language use and abuse."-Janice Fiamengo, retired Professor of English, University of Ottawa, Canada. "Prof. Alaric Naude takes us on a rollercoaster ride - a sweeping historical exploration through space and time connected through the permeating, powerful, and dynamic glue of language. A timely must read for anyone who is even remotely interested in, or intrigued by, the power of language in all aspects of our lives. The reader will not only be more knowledgeable and informed of the history of language, its evolution, and its critical role in shaping human history. They will also have a better understanding of the powerful linguistic tools and tricks that have been and can be deployed for shaping and forming public opinion. The chapter on language "engineering" and "propaganda" - a very special icing on the cake - is a clinical dissection of the linguistic tools, and their inherent ambiguity, in the service of any driving agenda." -Akbar Sayeed, Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering, University of Wisconsin-Madison. Come on a journey through the history of language guided by Dr. Naudé, and learn how language forges not only your thinking but your entire perception of reality as well as how you orientate yourself in the world. Be immersed in understanding the mechanics of language and hierarchies that allow society to function as a whole while at the same time being prone to engineering by ideologues. Come to realize how humans are the embodiment of language and how policies shape language and thereby our very existence. Why should you be interested in the Ancient Akkadians? Why do DiAngelo and Kendi have an erroneous approach? What on earth do DNA and physics have to do with language? How can you learn any language that you put your mind to? Dr. Naudé covers all these and more in this concise tome that can be understood by anyone. Alaric Naudé (EdD, PhD) is a heterodox scholar and professor. His work draws heavily on sociolinguistic, historical and biological axioms in order to produce a functional understanding of social, linguistic and biological phenomena through an integrated approach. He is a member of several research organizations including the Heterodox Academy.

Book excerpt: The magnificent, unrivaled history of codes and ciphers -- how they're made, how they're broken, and the many and fascinating roles they've played since the dawn of civilization in war, business, diplomacy, and espionage -- updated with a new chapter on computer cryptography and the Ultra secret. Man has created codes to keep secrets and has broken codes to learn those secrets since the time of the Pharaohs. For 4,000 years, fierce battles have been waged between codemakers and codebreakers, and the story of these battles is civilization's secret history, the hidden account of how wars were won and lost, diplomatic intrigues foiled, business secrets stolen, governments ruined, computers hacked. From the XYZ Affair to the Dreyfus Affair, from the Gallic War to the Persian Gulf, from Druidic runes and the kaballah to outer space, from the Zimmermann telegram to Enigma to the Manhattan Project, codebreaking has shaped the course of human events to an extent beyond any easy reckoning. Once a government monopoly, cryptology today touches everybody. It secures the Internet, keeps e-mail private, maintains the integrity of cash machine transactions, and scrambles TV signals on unpaid-for channels. David Kahn's The Codebreakers takes the measure of what codes and codebreaking have meant in human history in a single comprehensive account, astonishing in its scope and enthralling in its execution. Hailed upon first publication as a book likely to become the definitive work of its kind, The Codebreakers has more than lived up to that prediction: it remains unsurpassed. With a brilliant new chapter that makes use of previously classified documents to bring the book thoroughly up to date, and to explore the myriad ways computer codes and their hackers are changing all of our lives, The Codebreakers is the skeleton key to a thousand thrilling true stories of intrigue, mystery, and adventure. It is a masterpiece of the historian's art.

Book excerpt: X is the New York Times number 1 bestseller and thrilling, twenty-fourth book in the Kinsey Millhone Alphabet series from Sue Grafton. In hindsight, I marvel at how clueless I was . . . What I ask myself even now is whether I should have picked up the truth any faster than I did, which is to say not fast enough . . . When a glamorous red head wishes to locate the son she put up for adoption thirty-two years ago, it seems like an easy two hundred bucks for private investigator Kinsey Millhone. But when a cop tells her she was paid with marked bills, and Kinsey's client is nowhere to be found, it becomes apparent this mystery woman has something to hide. Riled, Kinsey won't stop until she's found out who fooled her and why. Meanwhile, the widow of the recently murdered P. I. – and Kinsey's old friend – Pete Wolinsky, needs help with her IRS audit. This seemingly innocuous task takes a treacherous turn when Kinsey finds a coded list amongst her friend's files. It soon leads her to an unhinged man with a catalogue of ruined lives left in his wake. And despite the devastation, there isn't a single conviction to his name. It seems this sociopath knows exactly how to cause chaos without leaving a trace. As Kinsey delves deeper into the investigation she quickly becomes the next target of this tormentor. But can Kinsey prove her case against him before she becomes the next victim?

This book was released on 2021-01-05 with total page 522 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this updated edition of the popular textbook An Introduction to the Old Testament, Walter Brueggemann and Tod Linafelt introduce the reader to the broad theological scope of the Old Testament, treating some of the most important issues and methods in contemporary biblical interpretation. This clearly written textbook focuses on the literature of the Old Testament as it grew out of religious, political, and ideological contexts over many centuries in Israel's history. Covering every book in the Old Testament (arranged in canonical order), the authors demonstrate the development of theological concepts in biblical writings from the Torah through postexilic Judaism. Incorporating the most current scholarship, this new edition also includes concrete tips for doing close readings of the Old Testament text, and a chapter on ways to read Scripture and respond in light of pressing contemporary issues, such as economic inequality, racial and gender justice, and environmental degradation. This introduction invites readers to engage in the construction of meaning as they venture into these timeless texts.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many books of the Hebrew Bible were either composed in some form or edited during the Exilic and post-Exilic periods among a community that was to identify itself as returning from Babylonian captivity. At the same time, a dearth of contemporary written evidence from Judah/Yehud and its environs renders any particular understanding of the process within its social, cultural and political context virtually impossible. This has led some to label the period a dark age or black box – as obscure as it is essential for understanding the history of Judaism. In recent years, however, archaeologists and historians have stepped up their effort to look for and study material remains from the period and integrate the local history of Yehud, the return from Exile, and the restoration of Jerusalem’s temple more firmly within the regional, and indeed global, developments of the time. At the same time, Assyriologists have also been introducing a wide range of cuneiform material that illuminates the economy, literary traditions, practices of literacy and the ideologies of the Babylonian host society – factors that affected those taken into Exile in variable, changing and multiple ways. This volume of essays seeks to exploit these various advances.
