Sinopsis

Turning Points examines pivotal moments in world history where transformative innovations reshaped societies. The book argues that human progress isn't a straight line but a series of leaps spurred by breakthroughs. For instance, the printing press didn't just spread information; it catalyzed social movements and altered political power. Similarly, agriculture's rise allowed for settled communities, leading to specialization and the development of complex civilizations. The book explores how these historical turning points are interconnected, with earlier innovations paving the way for later advancements.

 
Structured to provide a comprehensive analysis, it begins by establishing a framework for understanding innovation as a historical force. Major sections then delve into specific turning points, such as the Renaissance era and the digital revolution, examining their pre-existing conditions, the nature of the innovation itself, and its consequences. The book offers insights into the dynamics of social change, technological advancements, and economic development, making it valuable for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of the forces shaping the modern world.

EQuin Cadmon

MANIFESTATION (How Thoughts Become Things!) is unlike any other book by the same name. Right from the jump, EQuin Cadmon peels back the veil of the elite's endless attempts to cover up our true past through resets every 100 years here on Earth. He quickly uncovers the truth behind the Tartarian Empire that reigned here for 1,000s of years and their free energy and unlimited abundance for all. He also goes on to prove to every reader that wanders this way exactly what Earth is; that it's not a globe after all flying through space at 627,000,000 mph in lock step with a burning ball of gas and 8 other planets; but flat and stationary. No other book every written walks you through and reveals our true intentionally buried past as it matters and relates to our power to MANIFEST. EQuin Cadmon ties it all together to bring the reader to the powered restored place to remember and activate their full mind potential to create anything they desire right out of thin air…or Aether. You never fully understood why it mattered that the powered elite have intentionally hidden our true past from us until now. What you'll discover by book’s end is that they needed us dumbed down to control us. They needed us divided in every way so that we wouldn't collectively increase our resonance and power to create heaven right here on Earth. No more! Do yourself a favor and open these pages and read and reread and share everywhere with everyone you love. This book is one for the ages!

Last Voices of the Irish Revolution

Tom Hurley

The Irish Civil War ended in 1923. Eighty years on, documentary-maker Tom Hurley wondered if there were many civilians and combatants left from across Ireland who had experienced the years 1919 to 1923, their prelude and their aftermath. What memories had they, what were their stories and how did they reflect on those turbulent times?
In early 2003, he recorded the experiences of 18 people, conducting 2 further interviews abroad in 2004. Tom spoke to a cross section (Catholic, Protestant, Unionist and Nationalist) who were in their teens or early twenties during the civil war. The chronological approach he has taken spans 50 years, beginning with the oldest interviewee's birth in 1899 and ending when the Free State became a republic in 1949.

Goblinhood - Goblin as a Mode

Jen Calleja

As formally inventive as readers have come to expect from one of the most daring writers around, and as wild and tricky as its subject matter requires, Goblinhood: Goblin as a Mode  presents us with a series of essays and poems that playfully, artfully propound Jen Calleja's theory of 'goblinhood'——a theory that takes in all aspects of pop culture from film, tv, literature and art as well as the author's personal and original examinations of grief, lust, family histories and the physical fact of living in the world as it is.

Goblinhood  is a perpetually and variously curious, visceral addition to Calleja's remarkable oeuvre.
