Summary

"Diamond Facts" explores the captivating journey of diamonds, from their geological origins to their profound impact on human history and culture, bridging the gap between scientific understanding and historical significance. These coveted gems begin their life deep within the Earth's mantle, forged under intense pressure and heat, later rising to the surface through volcanic activity. The book also examines the unique chemical compositions and crystal structures that give diamonds their exceptional hardness and brilliance, qualities that have captivated humanity for centuries.

 
The book traces the historical journey of diamonds from ancient India to their prominent role in royal regalia and modern jewelry, highlighting how they have shaped economies and influenced geopolitical dynamics. The narrative explores the evolution of diamond cutting techniques, the rise of the diamond trade, and the ethical considerations surrounding diamond mining and distribution.

 
Structured in three parts, it first introduces the geological origins, then explores historical significance, and finally delves into the modern diamond industry, examining ethical considerations and future exploration. This book uniquely integrates scientific rigor with historical narrative, offering a comprehensive account suitable for science enthusiasts, history buffs, and anyone curious about the multifaceted world of diamonds. It draws upon scientific research, historical records, and economic data, supported by visual aids, to present a balanced perspective on the natural science and history of these precious stones.

    Free to Stand for Truth and Justice

    Ousted from power by the French army on April 11, 2011, following the disputed presidential election in Côte d'Ivoire of November 2010, Laurent Gbagbo was charged with crimes against humanity before the International Criminal Court (ICC) in The Hague, on December 5, 2011.
    
    This book, written from 2012 onwards, thanks to numerous prison visits and interviews, is the only one to have been produced with the participation of the Ivorian president during his incarceration and trial.
    This unique testimony is more than ever a document for history, because it sheds light on the manipulations of the 2010 elections, the collusion between Nicolas Sarkozy's France and the ICC to get rid of Laurent Gbagbo, and the stalling tactics and maneuvers that marred "Gbagbogate."
    Over meetings with François Mattei, Laurent Gbagbo looks back on his seven years in prison, explains what they mean and shares his vision for the future—that of a free man, come what may.

    Body Art - The Ultimate Form Of...

    I hope that you will find the information helpful, useful and profitable. 
    It could easily be argued that body art is more popular than at any time in history. In days long gone by, sailors were the most heavily tattooed sector of society, but for decades now, that sector is the youth, which is a larger group than those who put to sea. 
    Not only has actual tattooing found a wider demographic, but technology has expanded the methods that can be employed to enhance our bodies. Nowadays, for example, you can get a fake tattoo that will last a couple of days for a special event. In a similar vein, women can be body-painted and the casual observer would be forgiven for not seeing a naked lady. 
    This doesn’t work so well for men, for obvious reasons! 
    You can also get fake tans, hair dyes, and nail varnishes that can easily be applied at home. There are also teeth whitening, cheap wigs, and coloured contact lenses available. Not to mention cheap sunglasses and fake glasses of numerous kinds. 
    The ultimate form of body art is plastic surgery. Many ordinary people aspire to plastic cut, tucks and nips these days – it is not only the privilege of the rich and famous. In fact, some countries, like Thailand, offer holidays that include plastic surgery (and other forms), so that your friends will hardly recognise when you return from a month’s holiday! 
    In fact, with all the options for body art available on a typical Western high street, no-one need look the same two days running! 
    The information in this ebook on various aspects of body art and related subjects, such as piercing, body painting and tattoos, is organized into 18 chapters of about 500-600 words each. 
    I hope that it will interest those who like to write a diary and blog, or would like to, plus webmasters who need content for their online publications.

    The Pacific Empire - Japan's...

    Japan’s path to dominance in the Pacific did not begin with a single battle, but with decades of careful planning, industrial growth, and a vision of empire. By the late 1930s, Japan had already established itself as a formidable power, securing control over Manchuria and waging a brutal war against China. The empire's leaders saw their nation as the rightful ruler of East Asia, destined to replace the declining Western colonial powers. When war finally erupted, Japan seized the opportunity to reshape the balance of power. 
    The attack on Pearl Harbor was not just a preemptive strike; it was a masterstroke of military strategy. Unlike in our timeline, where key American aircraft carriers survived, Japan’s forces successfully located and destroyed them in this alternate history. The U.S. Pacific Fleet was left crippled, unable to mount an immediate counteroffensive. With Hawaii effectively neutralized, Japan launched an aggressive wave of invasions, capturing the Philippines, Singapore, and the Dutch East Indies with little resistance. The British and Dutch colonial forces were overwhelmed, and American troops in the Philippines were forced into a swift surrender. 
    With these early victories, Japan secured the vital resources it desperately needed, including oil, rubber, and metals. The industrial centers of Southeast Asia were repurposed to fuel the empire’s war machine, allowing Japan to maintain its aggressive expansion. Australia found itself isolated, its northern defenses exposed. Fearing invasion, the Australian government negotiated a neutrality pact, ensuring that its territory would not be used as a base for counterattacks against Japan.
