Connecting Scotland's History - A Scottish History Timeline Linked into 2000 Years of World History

Anna Groundwater

Beschreibung

What was happening elsewhere in the world when Robert the Bruce was outlawed and Mary Queen of Scots lost her head? When Genghis Khan was on the warpath and Ivan the Terrible was the Russian czar, what was happening in Scotland? Find the answers to these questions in 2,000 years of Scottish history presented alongside what was happening in the rest of the world.
By placing events in Scotland in relation to those elsewhere, we can see what is different or distinctive about Scotland's experience. Simultaneously we can also see where movements in Scottish history were part of wider cultural or political change in Europe and beyond. John Knox's fiery sermons of the 1560s were connected into a wider Protestant Reformation, but they also represented a singularly Scottish version of a European phenomenon.
Connecting Scotland's History also gives us a history of 'many Scotlands'. We see the hybrid nature of a country where multiple peoples have come together in a distinctively Scottish mixture. From the Gaels, Picts and Norse people to more recent influxes from England, Ireland, continental Europe and beyond, Scotland's history tells us of internal connections as well as connections between Scotland and the wider world.

The Awakened Empath Bundle 2 in...

Ari Camran, Cate Orrell

The Awakened Empath Bundle, 2 in 1 Bundle: Empath's Survival Guide and Empath AbilitiesPeople have common misconceptions about being empathetic and being an empath. To state the obvious, these are two different concepts.  Being empathetic is when our hearts feel for another individual who is going through a period of crisis. Empathy gives us the power to think about, understand, and care about each other. Empath people, however, detect their energy, emotions, and physiological symptoms in them. They are usually more accurate in recognizing emotions just by looking through their body language. They are also more likely to acknowledge emotions prior to others and rate those emotions as being more intense.In this bundle, you will learn how to build and enhance your empathy. It will teach you sensible and time-tested tips you can use to rise above personal biases and become kinder, more forgiving, more accepting, and more loving toward other people. It will also be a guide for empaths.This 2 in 1 bundle includes the following audiobooks:1.

Caller The - Part 1 - "You were...

Jocy Gayheart

In my line of work my phone is ringing constantly. It's my most important business tool, and so I don't spend much thought about when or where to answer it - it's a natural reflex. So when one day, I was out early to prepare a house for a potentially interested couple, I got a call from an undisclosed number, I wasn't very surprised by it; it happens all the time. 
"Hi," said a female voice on the other end of the line. "So, where were we?" 
"Hi," I replied, pausing for a moment to think who it might be that called. Did I forget an appointment? Was there a conversation that got interrupted? 
Before I could say anything else, the voice continued: "Ah right. You were going to tell me how wet you are."

A Brief History of Timekeeping -...

Chad Orzel

Predating written language and marching on through human history, the desire for ever-better timekeeping has spurred technological innovation and sparked theories that radically reshaped our understanding of the universe and our place in it. 
 
 
 
Chad Orzel, a physicist and bestselling author, continues his tradition of demystifying thorny scientific concepts by using the clocks and calendars central to our everyday activities as a jumping-off point to explore the science underlying the ways we keep track of our time. Ancient solstice markers depend on the basic astrophysics of our solar system; mechanical clocks owe their development to Newtonian physics; and the ultra-precise atomic timekeeping that enables GPS hinges on the predictable oddities of quantum mechanics. 
 
  
 
Along the way, Orzel visits the delicate negotiations involved in Gregorian calendar reform, the intricate and entirely unique system employed by the Maya, and how the problem of synchronizing clocks at different locations ultimately required us to abandon the idea of time as an absolute and universal quantity. Sharp and engaging, A Brief History of Timekeeping is a story not just about the science of sundials, sandglasses, and mechanical clocks, but also the politics of calendars and time zones, the philosophy of measurement, and the nature of space and time itself.
