Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: imagine you were given the opportunity to go back to any one day in your life and relive it. A complete redo. Think about that for a moment. Imagine the possibilities. What if? We’ve all had days in our lives that we’ve regretted. Maybe you made a mistake or a bad choice. This would be your chance to undo that mistake. Or maybe it was a missed opportunity. A date you turned down or a relationship you didn’t pursue. What if you’d actually followed through? Or what if you could spend just one more day with a loved one that had passed on? Maybe it was a choice of colleges or a career choice. Maybe it was a choice between single life and marriage. Or whether or not to have children. We all come to forks in the road of life, where we have to choose between one of several paths. Did you ever wonder if you chose the right path? Ever wonder what would have happened if you chose the other fork? This is my story about being given the opportunity to go back and relive twenty-four hours and how my life changed as a result.

Book excerpt: "In 1849, a ten-year-old boy sets sail from Belize with his mother and a priceless Mayan medallion that was discovered by his archaeologist father, who was murdered for possessing it. Thus begins the personal odyssey of Tosh McIntosh. He will survive a hurricane that takes the life of his mother and lands him on Galveston Island. There he becomes an urchin that learns life's lessons through interaction with many different adults of many different attributes--the trust of Mrs. Finwitty, the sympathy of the enslaved cook, Attibel, the simple goodness of old Deuteronomy, a free Negro, and the infectious joy of Fellini, the baker, among others. But it is Molly Pryor who disorients him by her likeness to his mother and unlocks his heart. All would be well if his father's murderer hadn't arrived in Galveston searching for the medallion. Quickly, he discovers that Tosh has it."

Book Synopsis The Maya and Teotihuacan by : Geoffrey E. Braswell
Download or read book The Maya and Teotihuacan written by Geoffrey E. Braswell and published by University of Texas Press. This book was released on 2009-07-21 with total page 452 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The contributors to this volume present extensive new evidence from archaeology, iconography, and epigraphy to offer a more nuanced understanding of the interaction between the Early Classic Maya and Teotihuacan. Winner, Choice Outstanding Academic Book, 2005 Since the 1930s, archaeologists have uncovered startling evidence of interaction between the Early Classic Maya and the great empire of Teotihuacan in Central Mexico. Yet the exact nature of the relationship between these two ancient Mesoamerican civilizations remains to be fully deciphered. Many scholars have assumed that Teotihuacan colonized the Maya region and dominated the political or economic systems of certain key centers—perhaps even giving rise to state-level political organizations. Others argue that Early Classic rulers merely traded with Teotihuacan and skillfully manipulated its imported exotic goods and symbol sets to increase their prestige. Moving beyond these traditional assumptions, the contributors to this volume present extensive new evidence from archaeology, iconography, and epigraphy to offer a more nuanced understanding of the interaction between the Early Classic Maya and Teotihuacan. Investigating a range of Maya sites, including Kaminaljuyu, Copán, Tikal, Altun Ha, and Oxkintok, they demonstrate that the influence of Teotihuacan on the Maya varied in nature and duration from site to site, requiring a range of models to explain the patterns of interaction. Moreover, they show that the interaction was bidirectional and discuss how the Maya in turn influenced Teotihuacan.

Book Synopsis Maya Angelou by : Linda Wagner-Martin
Download or read book Maya Angelou written by Linda Wagner-Martin and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2020-12-10 with total page 303 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A revised and updated edition of a comprehensive biographical and critical reading of the works of American poet and memoirist Maya Angelou (1928-2014). Linda Wagner-Martin covers all six of Angelou's autobiographies, as well as her essay and poetry collections, whilst also exploring Angelou's life as an African American in the United States, her career as stage and film performer, her thoughtful participation in the Civil Rights actions of the 1960s, and her travels abroad in Egypt, Africa, and Europe. In her discussion of Angelou's methods of writing her stunning autobiography, which began with the 1970 publication of I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings, Wagner-Martin writes about the influences of the Harlem Writers Group (led by James Baldwin, Paule Marshall, and John O. Killens) as well as Angelou's significant friendships with Malcolm X, Martin Luther King, Jr., and other leaders from both international and African American United States cultures. Crucial concepts throughout include the role of oral traditions, of song and dance, of the spiritualism of art based on religious belief, of Angelou's voiced rhythms and her polished use of dialogue to convey more abstract “meaning.” Wagner-Martin shows that, viewing herself as a global citizen, Angelou never lost her spirit of adventure and discovery as well as her ability to overcome. Named an Outstanding Academic Title of the Year by Choice in 2015, this new edition includes two new chapters on Angelou's connections to Africa and on her final years.

Book Synopsis Maya Gods of War by : Karen Bassie-Sweet
Download or read book Maya Gods of War written by Karen Bassie-Sweet and published by University Press of Colorado. This book was released on 2021-06-01 with total page 341 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Numerous archaeological projects have found substantial evidence of the military nature of Maya society, and warfare is a frequent theme of Maya art. Maya Gods of War investigates the Classic period Maya gods who were associated with weapons of war and the flint and obsidian from which those weapons were made. Author Karen Bassie-Sweet traces the semantic markers used to distinguish flint from other types of stone, surveys various types of Chahk thunderbolt deities and their relationship to flint weapons, and explores the connection between lightning and the ruling elite. Additional chapters review these fire and solar deities and their roles in Maya warfare and examine the nature and manifestations of the Central Mexican thunderbolt god Tlaloc, his incorporation into the Maya pantheon, and his identification with meteors and obsidian weapons. Finally, Bassie-Sweet addresses the characteristics of the deity God L, his role as an obsidian merchant god, and his close association with the ancient land route between the highland Guatemalan obsidian sources and the lowlands. Through analysis of the nature of the Teotihuacán deities and exploration of the ways in which these gods were introduced into the Maya region and incorporated into the Maya worldview, Maya Gods of War offers new insights into the relationship between warfare and religious beliefs in Mesoamerica. This significant work will be of interest to scholars of Maya religion and iconography.
