Hana was a Syrian kingdom located in the Middle Euphrates region north of Mari, which included the ancient city of Terqa. Hana is known only from a few dozen texts, but those texts are dated to the reigns of between nineteen and twenty-one kings. There is no king-list that includes the kings of Hana and the kingdom almost never is mentioned in documents from other cities and kingdoms. Nevertheless, Hana seems to have been one of the few kingdoms that thrived in the sixteenth century B.C.E., an era that is poorly understood. In this volume Dr. Prodany demonstrates how the kings of Hana can be placed in sequence and assigned approximate dates, based on typologies of the main features of a group of texts that make up the majority of the corpus - contracts for the purchase, bequest, and inheritance of real estate.

Widowed young, Hana craves safety more than love. She’s disinterested in her mysterious new admirer, yet he seems undaunted. Until an unexpected threat throws her straight at his feet. Hana's safe world consists of working at the local high school and attending church on the weekends. But a series of surprising attacks exposes her vulnerability. She's already isolated and in danger when a bungled hit-and-run casts her at the feet of the handsome new English teacher. Logan has loved Hana since her eighteenth year. The strong, quiet man has already wasted two decades searching for the beautiful redhead he saw sobbing on a London train. A wall guards Hana’s heart against the sadness shrouding that chance meeting. She does not remember him. Logan’s dubious past equips him to save Hana from the criminals hounding her. He’s more than a gifted English teacher. Deadly secrets and a powerful empire are at his disposal. He could help her, but will she let him? Allying herself with the head of New Zealand’s notorious Du Rose family may prove Hana’s greatest mistake yet. There’s always a cost. No good deed goes unpunished. And as Logan is hamstrung by Hana’s reluctance to trust him with her fears, her life becomes the payment for her folly. Dive into the rich New Zealand tapestry of the infamous Du Rose family.

Let's get one thing straight: Small, Broke, and Kind of Dirty: Affirmations for the Real World is not a book of advice. You're not going to find a step-by-step guide to meditation here, or even reminders to drink lots of water and get enough sleep. Those things are all good for you, but that's not what Hana Shafi wants to talk about. Instead, Small, Broke, and Kind of Dirty--built around art from Shafi's popular online affirmation series--focuses on our common and never-ending journey of self-discovery. It explores the ways in which the world can all too often wear us down, and reminds us to remember our worth, even when it's hard to do so. Drawing on her experience as a millennial woman of colour, and writing with humour and a healthy dose of irreverence, Shafi delves into body politics and pop culture, racism and feminism, friendship, and allyship. Through it all, she remains positive without being saccharine, and hopeful without being naive. So no, this is not an advice book: it's a call to action, one that asks us to remember that we are valid as we are--flaws and all--and to not let the bastards grind us down.
