Interest and fascination in Achaemenid Persia has burgeoned in recent years. It is time for a major new appraisal of the glorious civilization founded by Cyrus the Great and continued by his successors, the Great Kings Darius I, Xerxes and Artaxerxes I. This volume offers precisely that: a sustained and comprehensive overview of the field of Achaemenid studies by leading scholars and experts. It discusses all aspects of Achaemenid history and archaeology between 550 BCE and 330 BCE, and embraces the whole vast territory of the Persian Empire from North Africa to India and from Central Asia to the Persian Gulf. Topics covered in this title include aspects of Achaemenid religion, administration, material culture, ethnicity, gender and the survival of Achaemenid traditions. The publication of the book is an event: it represents a watershed not only in better appreciation and understanding of the rich and complex cultural heritage established by Cyrus, but also of the lasting significance of the Achaemenid kings and the impact that their remarkable civilization has had on wider Persian and Middle Eastern history.

An important collection of eight essays on Ancient Persia (Iran) in the periods of the Achaemenid Empire (539-330 BC), when the Persians established control over the whole of the Ancient Near East, and later the Sasanian Empire. It will be of interest to historians, archaeologists and biblical scholars. Paul Collins writes about stone relief carvings from Persepolis; John Curtis and Christopher Walker illuminate the Achaemenid period in Babylon; Terence Mitchell, Alan Millard and Shahrokh Razmjou draw attention to neglected aspects of biblical archaeology and the books of Daniel and Isaiah; and Mahnaz Moazami and Prudence Harper explore the Sasanian period in Iran (AD 250-650) when Zoroastrianism became the state religion.

Beth Montgomery is a theoretician, college professor, and an amateur car thief. After stumbling onto a dangerous theoretical discovery, she flees powerful forces aligning against her. Escaping to her ex-boyfriend's ancestral estate in Central Europe, she shortly disappears entirely. Following her ex-boyfriend on the day of her final disappearance, he searches the castle grounds for clues to Beth's disappearance. Along the way he methodically pieces together the relationship between Beth's secret discovery, the castle's vast history, and his family's mythological and often violent relationship with this forgotten fiefdom. Snapdragon consists of six unique tales illustrated in six different artistic styles that share rudimentary characteristics, and despite their different subjects and time periods, become increasingly interrelated as they progress forming a single overall story.

Es sah böse aus für die Seewölfe. Angekettet an die Ruderbänke der Galeere "Conchita" waren sie der Willkür und den Grausamkeiten Don Boscos nahezu wehrlos ausgeliefert. Schlimmer noch: Dieser Kerl wollte die Schätze, die auf der Schlangeninsel, dem geheimen Stützpunkt der Seewölfe, lagerten. Und daß Don Bosco, der Herrscher von Tortuga, kein Mittel scheute, um diese Schätze zu kriegen, das erfuhren die Seewölfe schon bald. "Du wirst reden", sagte er zu Hasard Killigrew, dem Anführer der Seewölfe, "verlaß' dich drauf. Morgen, bei Sonnenaufgang erfahre ich von dir alles, was ich wissen will, oder es stirbt von da an jede Stunde einer deiner Männer, vor deinen Augen und auch auf die Art, wie bei Don Bosco gestorben wird. Mit den beiden da", er deutete auf die beiden Söhne des Seewolfs, "fange ich an. Also überleg es dir, ich meine es ernst." Diesmal wußte auch Hasard keinen Rat, keinen Ausweg. Redete er, beging er Verrat an seinen Freunden auf der Schlangeninsel, schwieg er aber, dann lieferte er seine beiden Söhne und seine Männer einem grausamen Tod aus...
