Summary

The Making of Coins explores the economic and technological history of ancient coinage, revealing how these small objects reflect the broader economic, political, and social structures of ancient civilizations. The book highlights the ingenuity involved in ancient coin minting, from metal extraction to die engraving, and examines the constant struggle to maintain the value of coins, a struggle still relevant today. Intriguingly, the book uncovers the techniques used to detect counterfeiting, illustrating the ongoing battle between trust and deception in monetary systems. The book uniquely combines numismatic analysis with cutting-edge archaeometallurgy, using techniques like X-ray fluorescence to analyze the elemental composition of ancient coins.

 
Structured in three parts, it first details coin production techniques, then examines methods used to control metal content and value, and finally investigates the history of counterfeiting. This approach offers a comprehensive understanding of how ancient economies functioned and the challenges they faced.

    The selection process for pilots in an international airline is based on a series of evaluative stages that test the candidate or applicant for the position.

    A Sloth's Guide to Achieving...

    In this short, contrarian audiobook I seek to redress a few self-help myths. Firstly, that success looks sexy. Sometimes success is just turning up every day to your job and bringing up good kids. Success is what you ultimately value.  
    Secondly, success needn't be high paced, delivered in technicolour through an Insta-filter, or a TikTok thingamajig. It can take the form of a slow, but steady fulfilment of our life goal, delivered over a course of time, in which small but deliberate steps are being made to achieve a wondrous outcome.  
    This book is for that alternative way, the way of the sloth. I also provide some guided meditations to help propel you along your journey with sticky meditations that will help you set and achieve goals whilst eliminating distractions. And when you fail, you can dust yourself off, and try again. Because failure is guaranteed - success is in the constant striving for your outcome. Follow the signs.  
    Peace.

    An expansive and accessible account of anarchism as a theory of practice. 
     
     
     
    Means and Ends is a new overview of the revolutionary strategy of anarchism in Europe and the United States between 1868 and 1939. Zoe Baker clearly and accessibly explains the ideas that historical anarchists developed in order to change the world. This includes their views on direct action, revolution, organization, state socialism, reforms, and trade unions. Throughout, she demonstrates that the reasons anarchists gave for supporting or opposing particular strategies were grounded in a theoretical framework—a theory of practice—which maintained that, as people engage in activity, they simultaneously change the world and themselves. This theoretical framework was the foundation for the anarchist commitment to the unity of means and ends: the means that revolutionaries propose to achieve social change have to involve forms of activity which transform people into individuals who are capable of, and driven to, both overthrow capitalism and the state and build a free society. The consistent heart of anarchism was the idea that anarchist ends can only be achieved through anarchist means. Cutting through misconceptions and historical inaccuracies, Baker draws upon a vast assortment of examples to show how this simple premise underpinned anarchist attempts to put theory into action.

    Are You Living a Life of Achievements… or a Life of Success? 
    From the outside, you're doing everything right — building the business, hitting the milestones, growing year after year. But if you're honest, it doesn't feel the way you thought it would. 
    The business still depends on you more than it should. The pressure never really shuts off. Freedom always feels like it's just one more level away. 
    So you push. You optimize. You chase the next win — convinced that when you get there, it will finally deliver what this one didn't. 
    It won't. 
    That's the Achievement Trap — the cycle where growth creates more responsibility instead of more freedom, and success increases demand instead of control. 
    This book changes that. Inside, you'll discover the 4C² Success Formula™ and the SUCCESS Operating System — a practical framework for producing extraordinary results while reclaiming control of your time, energy, and direction. Not by working harder, but by operating differently. 
    If you're ready to stop building success that expands your workload and start building success that expands your freedom, this is where it begins.
