Sinopse

The First Coins explores the revolutionary invention of coinage by the Lydians and its profound impact on ancient economies and societies. The book begins by establishing the pre-coinage world, highlighting the limitations of barter systems. Coinage emerged not merely as a technological advancement but as a catalyst for social, political, and economic change. Notably, the Lydians' innovation enabled efficient taxation, which contributed to the rise of more stable and complex societies. The book traces the evolution of Lydian coinage, from its origins to its adoption by other Mediterranean civilizations like the Greeks and Persians. By analyzing archaeological evidence, historical accounts, and numismatic data, the work reveals how different cultures adapted the Lydian model to their specific needs. The study of the first coins provides essential insights into the development of modern monetary systems. It demonstrates the lasting legacy of Lydian coinage and its continuing relevance in understanding economic history. The book progresses by first introducing the Lydian civilization, then delving into the creation of the first coins, followed by tracing the spread of coinage, and concluding with the lasting legacy of Lydian coinage.

    I recently saw several predictions by well-known seers of the future that there will be a huge natural disaster in June/July of 2025. 
    Whether a disaster from a comet crashing into the Earth, a huge volcanic eruption or earthquake or a nuclear war; the likelihood of humanity suffering a period of global cooling is that it will happen—and has already happened in the past. 
    Disasters could actually cause global cooling for months or years. In trying to lookup any books on how to individuals and society should handle global cooling I couldn’t find anything. So I decided to write a manual dealing with this issue. 
    This manual has five parts: 
    Part One-Understanding the Threat 
    Part Two-Preparation and Prevention 
    Part Three-Surviving the Freeze 
    Part Four-Rebuilding in the ICE 
    Part Five-Looking Forward 
    Historical examples of how mankind dealt with global cooling in the past are included as well as lots of advice on how to recognize this process happening to our world, and how to deal with the consequences. 
    Survival for both individuals and society, and how to plan for the future. 
    I hope this situation never happens in our lifetimes but this book might be an aid to survival in those circumstances.

    Triumphs and disasters in the deep sea 
    This is a journey through time and water, to the bottom of the ocean and the future of our planet. 
    We do not see the ocean when we look at the water that blankets more than two thirds of our planet. We only see the entrance to it. Beyond that entrance is a world hostile to humans, yet critical to our survival. The first divers to enter that world held their breath and splashed beneath the surface, often clutching rocks to pull them down. Over centuries, they invented wooden diving bells, clumsy diving suits, and unwieldy contraptions in attempts to go deeper and stay longer. But each advance was fraught with danger, as the intruders had to survive the crushing weight of water, or the deadly physiological effects of breathing compressed air. The vertical odyssey continued when explorers squeezed into heavy steel balls dangling on cables, or slung beneath floats filled with flammable gasoline. Plunging into the narrow trenches between the tectonic plates of the Earth’s crust, they eventually reached the bottom of the ocean in the same decade that men first walked on the moon. 
    Today, as nations scramble to exploit the resources of the ocean floor, The Frontier Below recalls a story of human endeavour that took 2,000 years to travel seven miles, then investigates how we will explore the ocean in the future. 
    Meticulously researched and drawing extensively on unpublished sources and personal interviews, The Frontier Below is the untold story of the pioneers who had the right stuff, but were forgotten because they went in the wrong direction. 
    The Frontier Below by Jeff Maynard is a captivating journey through the history of maritime expeditions, the science of physiology, and the economics of resource extraction. It is a testament to human endeavour and the indomitable spirit of exploration, offering a glimpse into the future of our oceans. 
    For fans of Julian Sancton (Madhouse at the End of the Earth), Buddy Levy (Empire of Ice and Stone), Rachel Lance (In the Waves), James Bradley (Ghost Species), and Helen Czerski (Blue Machine).

    Hollywood and MAGA don’t get along. There are plenty of right wingers who won’t even touch this book because "Hollywood" is on the cover. Meanwhile, there are plenty of snowflake leftists who are fighting back tears because they assume this book is propaganda from “orange Thanos” to take over Tinseltown. And then there’s you, the American. Conservative or liberal, you realize that Hollywood and MAGA are at war with each other and that it’s a battle worth examining. Make Hollywood Great Again navigates through 2017 – 2020’s theatrical releases examining journalism, conspiracy and the media, as well as a bevy of other topics. Filmmakers have addressed their undesired tenet in the White House through a variety of stories, mostly non-fiction. The book privileges The Post, Blackkklansman, The Front Runner, Dark Waters, Richard Jewell, and The Hunt among others.

    Today’s youth have a lot going against them as they trudge onto their school campuses. Sitting in cold, hard desks, they’re force-fed facts that quickly zap the joy of discovery right out of them. Next, they’re indoctrinated with progressive ideologies meant to sexualize them and incite hatred for America. The fear of a gunman kicking in their classroom door constantly looms in the back of their mind. This is the loneliest, most anxious, and depressed young generation our world has possibly ever seen. Oh, and on top of all that...they might not really be a boy or a girl. 
    You can keep subjecting your kids to the poison, or you can bring them home to flourish. This book gives you the pro tips and encouragement to discover what millions of other parents already have: the best thing for their families is to take back control of their lives and their children’s education. 
    So what’s stopping you? 
    • You fear that your children won’t be adequately socialized? 
    • You don’t have the patience, organizational skills, or time? 
    • Homeschoolers are just weird! 
    This book dispels those lies and fifteen others that society erroneously believes. Ahead of you awaits a family bond you never imagined possible, and the role of primary guide for your child down the path God created them for. Even though it starts in your living room, this mission will be far-reaching. At the very least, your impact will be felt down to your grandchildren’s generation. At most, to all of eternity.
