Sinopse

Fortunes Vanished explores the intriguing phenomenon of significant wealth disappearance throughout history. It examines not just the "how" of lost fortunes, but also the "why," delving into the roles of greed, mismanagement, and political instability. The book reveals that vanished fortunes are rarely due to a single cause, but rather a confluence of factors that expose the precarious nature of wealth, regardless of its size. For example, the book highlights the impact of economic upheaval, such as revolutions, which have wiped out entire national fortunes.

 
The book takes a narrative non-fiction approach, blending historical accounts with financial analysis. It investigates instances of physical loss, like plundered treasures and lost gold mines, alongside cases of financial mismanagement and the impact of political and economic upheaval. Beginning with the core concepts of wealth creation and threats to its preservation, it progresses through case studies grouped thematically, analyzing common threads and drawing lessons about financial prudence and ethical conduct.

 
The book emphasizes the importance of understanding risk and responsible stewardship for preserving wealth, making it valuable for investors, policymakers, and anyone interested in the history of finance.

Underwater Ruins of Civilization

Martin K. Ettington

The level of Earth’s Oceans have changed many times over the millennia.Global sea level rose by a total of more than 120 meters (360 feet) as the vast ice sheets of the last Ice Age melted back. This melt-back lasted from about 19,000 to about 6,000 years ago, meaning that the average rate of sea-level rise was roughly 1 meter per century.Since many early cities and civilizations were built near the coast, there must be many submerged ruins around the world we are not yet familiar with. The study of these ruins is one of the great unmapped needs for future archeology.We do know about a few of these ruins and are learning much more. This book is a summary of what we know or think we know today about these lost civilizations, cities, and towns.I’ve also included the stories of many legendary cities or locations like Atlantis and Lemuria.

The Artisan Author - The...

Johnny B. Truant

Less rush. More freedom. A way to love writing again.
If modern indie publishing feels like a high-stress race to the bottom, the good news is there’s another way.
Most authors start writing for the love of it, but in recent years the reality of “writing for a living” has soured. Now, for a lot of us, it no longer looks fun — or creatively fulfilling — at all.
You have to obey genres exactly or your books won’t sell. If you step outside your lane and try something new, the kinds of readers most authors court will never buy it. And then there’s the SPEED of it all: The rules of “Rapid Release” say you have to publish a book every month — at least — or you’ll never survive. Forget about taking a vacation. Time off will let the algorithms forget you.
In The Artisan Author, industry veteran Johnny B. Truant offers an alternative to Rapid Release: a new way to succeed as an author without sacrificing your freedom, worrying about competition or AI, or fearing you’ll lose everything when the winds — or the algorithms — inevitably change.
The way of the Artisan Author is the opposite of Rapid Release. Instead of rushing to churn out the same-old same-old, Artisans follow their muse and write whatever they want. Instead of stressing out, Artisans take their time, putting as much care and beauty into their work as they desire. It’s a way to build a substantial, sustainable, bulletproof income based on Kevin Kelly’s idea of “1000 True Fans”: readers who are loyal to you, not any platform. True Fans are all you need to earn as much as you want as an author. They’re people with whom you build genuine human connections … and who therefore love you enough to spend far more than ordinary readers will ever spend.

Behind the Scenes - Or Thirty...

Elizabeth Keckley

Born in Virginia in 1818, Elizabeth Keckley grew up enslaved until she was able to purchase her and her son's freedom with money made from working as a seamstress. As she continued to perfect her craft, her styles caught the attention of the elite in Washington D.C. It wasn't until the day of Abraham Lincoln's inauguration that she crossed paths with Mary Todd Lincoln, who took Elizabeth on as her personal confidante and seamstress. Behind the Scenes not only offers an intimate look into the enslaved and free life of Elizabeth Keckley but also the lives of Abraham and Mary Todd Lincoln. At the time of publication, the lives of presidents and their families were private and not known to the public—this book gave everyone an idea of what it was like inside the White House.
