Kirk Savage explores the National Mall in Washington D.C., site of some of the most important & poignant memorials in the U.S. He shows how the idea of monument has changed over the decades, & how the 19th century concept of the monument has given way to the late 20th century idea of 'space', the monument as an experience.

Imagine being a child living in a remote village. What do you think your future will be like? Becoming an internationally renowned expert in your field might not immediately come to mind. But while it might seem unlikely, such a future is not always out of reach. In My Amazing Life: Journey through Success, Munna L. Sharma narrates his amazing story, which began in a remote Indian village. Through his academic excellence, Sharma won scholarships and obtained masters and doctorate degrees from highly reputable universities in India and the United States. He tells of his travels through the United States and his ultimate arrival in Australia. Sharma joined Australias most prestigious research organization, CSIRO, rising to one of its highest positions. He takes us beyond his work success, recounting his family and personal experiences in rural India and modern societies, describing the cultural, emotional, and social challenges he faced. Sharmas spiritual strength not only helped him to cope with traumatic events but also motivated him to use them as opportunities for further growth. And as his financial advancements exceeded his expectations, his spiritual development kept him balanced and allowed him to lead a satisfying life. A story of perseverance and dedication, My Amazing Life demonstrates the importance of living a well-rounded life and serves as an inspiration to others.

The British crime fiction writer Peter Cheyney is the creator of the American FBI agent Lemmy Caution and the English detective Slim Callaghan.

In later years Cheyney’s style matured with the ‘Dark’ books, drawing wide praise during World War II for bringing more realism to espionage fiction. Although his works have suffered neglect in recent times, the fame of Cheyney’s novels in the post-war period cannot be underestimated, having sold over 5 million copies.

This two-volume encyclopedia covers buildings and sites of global significance from prehistoric times to the present day, providing students with an essential understanding of architectural development and its impact on human societies. This two-volume encyclopedia provides an in-depth look at buildings and sites of global significance throughout history. The volumes are separated into four regional sections: 1) the Americas, 2) Europe, 3) Africa and the Middle East, and 4) Asia and the Pacific. Four regional essays investigate the broader stylistic and historical contexts that describe the development of architecture through time and across the globe. Entries explore the unique importance of buildings and sites, including the megalithic wonder of Stonehenge and the imposing complex of Angkor Wat. Entries on Spanish colonial missions in the Americas and the medieval Islamic universities of the Sahara connect to broader building traditions. Other entries highlight remarkable stories of architectural achievement and memory, like those of Tuskegee University, a site hand-built by former slaves, or the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park, which was built at the site of the atomic detonation. Each entry focuses on the architectural but includes strong consideration of the social impact, importance, and significance each structure has had in the past and in the present.

Nine killed in Charleston church shooting. White supremacists demonstrate in Charlottesville. Monuments decommissioned in New Orleans and Chapel Hill. The headlines keep coming, and the debate rolls on. How should we contend with our troubled history as a nation? What is the best way forward? This first book in UGA Press's History in the Headlines series offers a rich discussion between four leading scholars who have studied the history of Confederate memory and memorialization. Through this dialogue, we see how historians explore contentious topics and provide historical context for students and the broader public. Confederate Statues and Memorialization artfully engages the past and its influence on present racial and social tensions in an accessible format for students and interested general readers. Following the conversation, the book includes a "Top Ten" set of essays and articles that everyone should read to flesh out their understanding of this contentious, sometimes violent topic. The book closes with an extended list of recommended reading, offering readers specific suggestions for pursuing other voices and points of view.

Since humans first looked up at the stars, astronomy has had a particular ability to stir the imagination and challenge the thinking of scientists and non-scientists alike. Astronomy: The Human Quest for Understanding is an introductory astronomy textbook specifically designed to relate to non-science majors across a wide variety of disciplines, nurture their curiosity, and develop vital science-based critical-thinking skills. This textbook provides an introduction to how science operates in practice and what makes it so successful in uncovering nature's secrets. Given that the study of astronomy dates back thousands of years, it is the ideal subject for tracing the development of the physical sciences and how our evolving understanding of nature has influenced, and been influenced by, mathematics, philosophy, religion, geography, politics, and more. This historical approach also illustrates how wrong turns have been taken, and how the inherent self-correcting nature of science through constant verification and the falsifiability of truly scientific theories ultimately leads us back to a more productive path in our quest for understanding. This approach also points out why, as a broadly educated citizenry, students of all disciplines must understand how scientists arrive at conclusions, and how science and technology have become central features of modern society. In discussing this fascinating and beautiful universe of which we are a part, it is necessary to illustrate the fundamental role that mathematics plays in decoding nature's mysteries. Unlike other similar textbooks, some basic mathematics is integrated naturally into the text, together with interpretive language, and supplemented with numerous examples; additional tutorials are provided on the book's companion website. Astronomy: The Human Quest for Understanding leads the reader down the path to our present-day understanding of our Solar System, stars, galaxies, and the beginning and evolution of our universe, along with profound questions still to be answered in this ancient, yet rapidly changing field.

On the threshold of her fifties, Michela retraces the important stages of her life and going back and forth between past and present she relives crucial moments: the pain, the downfalls, the defeats and rebirths, up to the full understanding of herself and the achievement of a form of serenity and, maybe, why not, of true happiness. "The choices we make, especially the rational ones, are too often dictated by social conventions and by what others expect of us . We do things out of duty and make the big blunders . With hindsight I would never do things that everybody considered perfectly legitimate and sensible. What I have done only following my instinct and my heart, I would do it again today.” "To start again I needed a superhuman courage, because I had to get my life back. And only when I overcome all this, when I am the master of my time and I feel calm and happy of solitude as well, of my space, so hard-won, and of my time because finally I'll know how to handle it, only then I will be able to declare myself truly free, to be alone or to fall in love again. This freedom must be won, but freedom is sweat and blood, freedom has a high price.” "It's strange but I have found happiness through winding and tiring roads, overcoming the greatest sorrows, I have overcome anger and pain through my passion for life, despite it all.I always tried to be like others and comply to common rules, but the paths of life have led me to be different, and I have always paid the price.”
