Breakout : The Origins of Civilization (Peabody Museum Monographs No. 9)

Breakout : The Origins of Civilization (Peabody Museum Monographs No. 9) Review

For much of the twentieth century, Mesopotamia was thought to he the singular "Cradle of Civilization;" and the agents of change that brought it about were thought to be demographic, ecological, and technological. Bronze Age Mesopotamian accomplishments were believed to have diffused outward, influencing the development of civilization in the rest of the world. Part of this Mesopocentric view was revised as archaeological evidence revealed that other unique civilizations had existed in both the Old and New Worlds, but the traditional Near Eastern pattern of development continued to serve as a model.

In the mid-1980s, however, Harvard's Kwang-chih Chang proposed in Symbols--a publication of Harvard's Peabody Museum and Department of Anthropology--that China's first civilization did not evolve according to the conventional Mesopotamian model and argued instead for a new paradigm for understanding the origins of civilization in ancient China and the New World.

In this collection of subsequent Symbols articles and other essays, Maya and Near Eastern studies specialists engage in a stimulating debate of Chang's thesis, also presented here.

The Breakout Year

The Breakout Year Review

How much of yourself would you be willing to change for a million dollars?

As children, Maddie and Avalon had experienced abuse and abandonment. When they found one another, they knew they were kindred spirits destined to be lifelong friends. Maddie made the rules, and Avalon followed along. Maddie did all the talking, while Avalon listened.

Avalon knew that their friendship depended on her always being available to bolster the frail ego of her only companion, and she was grateful to have this opportunity. Maddie had always expected everything of her friend, but Avalon asked for nothing in return.

Maddie grew up to be a respected judge and rich society maven, yet she continually suffered from feelings of worthlessness. Avalon became invisible: working at a dead-end job, living in the same apartment all of her life, hiding from the world and from a terrible family secret.

Now Maddie, age fifty, has died of lung cancer, but not before she wills a million dollars to her best friend-a will that contains some very important provisos: Avalon must quit her job, move, lose weight, create a new body, take a trip, buy a new car, and start her own business. But will all the money in the world help Avalon discover her own true value?

Time Out Budapest (Time Out Guides) Review

Budapest is no longer just the tatty gem of old, the Danube pearl tucked away behind Vienna, cherished by a handful of curious and discerning travelers.

Using a pool of resident writers who have lived through the changes from immediately post-Soviet to EU metropolis, this seventh edition of Time Out Budapest evaluates the contemporary city and suggests how a rapidly increasing number of visitors can best enjoy it.

It's a fact: Acne affects at least 50 million American men and women of all ages, ethnicities, and skin types. Yet so few of us understand why we have acne, and what we can do to treat it.
