This collection of stories focuses on relating to life experiences and social customs as seen at different times in history.
Steeped in, and set in, the history of the past two centuries, Timeless Stories of the Not-So-Modern World presents a collection of stories focusing on life experiences and social customs during various eras.
Author Charles E. Jones offers narratives featuring strong, determined characters who challenge the rigors of life. From adventure to romance, mystery, and suspense to industrial fiction, the stories encompass a range of times, places, and quandaries.
In The Pony Express Rider, Donny Wells escapes the orphanage in 1860 only to face a terrifying near-death encounter on the plains. In the story Men and the Sea, a convoy of ships on a mission to Europe in 1942 takes on a gamble of huge proportions. Somewhere in Time tells about a young couple who asks a priest to marry them, but he refuses.
Thought-provoking and stimulating, the tales in Timeless Stories of the Not-So-Modern World each teach a lesson through the decisions of the characters and examine how eras past relate to the world today.

The ideas and practices related to afrofuturism have existed for most of the 20th century, especially in the north American African diaspora community. After Mark Dery coined the word "afrofuturism" in 1993, Alondra Nelson as a member of an online forum, along with other participants, began to explore the initial terrain and intellectual underpinnings of the concept noting that “AfroFuturism has emerged as a term of convenience to describe analysis, criticism and cultural production that addresses the intersections between race and technology.” Afrofuturism 2.0: The Rise of Astroblackness represents a transition from previous ideas related to afrofuturism that were formed in the late 20th century around issues of the digital divide, music and literature. Afrofuturism 2.0 expands and broadens the discussion around the concept to include religion, architecture, communications, visual art, philosophy and reflects its current growth as an emerging global Pan African creative phenomenon. - Häftad, Engelska, 2017

Matthew Wolfgang Stolper began working for the Chicago Assyrian Dictionary in 1978 and became full professor in the Oriental Institute 1987, focusing on Neo-Babylonian and Middle Elamite. Matt has worked tirelessly to raise the necessary funding, to assemble a team of scholars, to promote the importance of the Persepolis Fortification Archive to academic and popular audiences, and most significantly, to concisely, passionately, and convincingly place the Persepolis Archives in their Achaemenid, ancient Near Eastern, and modern geo-political contexts. The twenty-six papers from Stolper's colleagues, friends, and students show the breadth of his interests. - Inbunden, Engelska, 2018

Images of Heroic Encounter
Inbunden, Engelska, 20012 416 kr
Tillfälligt slut
This is the first volume (text and plates) of the analytically legible seals (ca. 1,162) retrieved through many thousands of full or partial impressions preserved on the 2,087 Elamite administrative tablets recovered during the 1930s excavations at Persepolis, Iran, and published by Richard T Hallock (OIP 92) in 1969. The tablets are dated by date formulae in the texts to the years 509-494 BC in the reign of Darius the Great.Volume I introduces the archive and documents the 312 seals of heroic encounter (retrieved via 1,970 impressions) with high quality composite drawings and a separate volume of 291 halftone and line plate illustrations presented at a scale of 2:1. Entries provide commentary on administrative, social, stylistic, and iconographical features of the seals as well as systematic analysis of seal application patterns. The thirty-four seal inscriptions are presented by Charles E Jones. Twelve appendices synthesize formal and iconographical data and integrate the seals with their associated texts.Volume I is in two parts: Part 1: text 562pp; Part 2: plates 1-291 318pp
