  The world is changing, it's getting increasingly more difficult to be a young person and to raise young people. Without a plan to navigate the change, you'll end up in ice-cold water you thought was warm. We get so attached to the identity of being a student, or an athlete, or the fact that we'll never be young again that we end up losing sight of what we can sustain long-term.  
  If you're in school now in your 20s, it's likely you're performing at less than 50% of your maximum potential. This book will help you pump those numbers up. 
  The Four Year Fantasy explores how College and University life can shape young adults in irreversible ways (GOOD and BAD). It outlines the skewed notions of what "the experience" is, and is meant to wake people up before they waste their "Superhuman years." This book offers insights on how to seize opportunities for personal growth and outlines the author's journey to success which includes breakthrough realizations that came from navigating the world with the social proof of a University student. 
  It's a student's guide to success, and a parent's guide to raising strong, smart, independent, and purpose-driven people. 
  For many readers, this will be the last three-hour lecture you’ll ever sit through...

  WARNING 
  Your life can be drastically affected by the content of this book. 
  It reveals the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. 
  Firstly, you, whoever you are, only have one life; whether you like it or not, this is it. This life is all there is; when it is exhausted, there is no more. It is not a dress rehearsal before the act; it is the act. When you die, you will vanish into infinite nothingness for all eternity. Secondly, you only have one duty in this life, and that duty is to be yourself. That is the person you genuinely are outside the contamination of your past conditioning. It is the only way to fulfil your potential. Thirdly, you only have one purpose for this life: to live your life fully. You are the ultimate being in your universe; as such, you are entitled to and should accept nothing less than a life lived fully. Fourthly, an essential requirement for achieving such a life is to make it about you and what matters to you. Make you the centre of your life. Fifthly, to achieve this type of life you must learn what life is, who you are, how you fit into life and, above all else, how to make the most of this position to achieve your full potential. The journey towards gaining this knowledge begins in the first chapter of this book.

  Doggerland and Cantre’r Gwaelod:...

  Among the most significant water displacement phenomena in the Western world was Doggerland on the northern European continent. The notable inundation occurred in both a steady and eruptive fashion covering a vast stretch of former tundra, a land bridge between today’s British Isles and the European continent. The event brought about the modern English Channel and an expanded North Sea, and unlike the early supercontinents, the inundation of Doggerland took place after the appearance of people. Incrementally submerged since roughly 18,000 years ago as the climate warmed, the patch of sea between Britain and Europe is the subject of much recent scientific scrutiny. Several fields are participating in the inquiry as to how and why the inundation took place, and the nature of the peoples that settled there. This encompasses earliest man to Neanderthals and on through the Mesolithic prototype of the modern European.  
  	Wales is a whimsical country with a powerful, complex, myth-filled and oft disputed history. In 2004, geneticists working with geographers and archaeological colleagues undertook a “People of the British Isle” study. They sought out thousands of volunteers, all four of whose grandparents had been born in the same place, and they analyzed their genetic make-up. “Modern genetic analysis can read the patterns of variation in our complete set of DNA . . . that change subtly over time,” producing a genetic signature that reveals geographical origins. This provides a window into history and helps explain why Wales is so singular and self contained. (Settlers: Genetics, geography and the peopling of Britain N D). The results of this project confirmed that the Welsh are unique, despite the common belief that the term “Celtic” is an homogenous concept that can be used as an overall term that includes the Irish, the Welsh, the Scottish clans, and Cornwellians. “Celtic” is much more nuanced.

  The Laws and the Land - The...

  As the settler state of Canada expanded into Indigenous lands, settlers dispossessed Indigenous people and undermined their sovereignty as nations. One site of invasion was Kahnawà:ke, a Kanien’kehá:ka community and part of the Rotinonhsiónni confederacy. The Laws and the Land delineates the establishment of a settler colonial relationship from early contact ways of sharing land; land practices under Kahnawà:ke law; the establishment of modern Kahnawà:ke in the context of French imperial claims; intensifying colonial invasions under British rule; and ultimately the Canadian invasion in the guise of the Indian Act, private property, and coercive pressure to assimilate. What Daniel Rück describes is an invasion spearheaded by bureaucrats, Indian agents, politicians, surveyors, and entrepreneurs.This original, meticulously researched book is deeply connected to larger issues of human relations with environments, communal and individual ways of relating to land, legal pluralism, historical racism and inequality, and Indigenous resurgence.

  Polynesian Mythology - Legends...

  Polynesian mythology is a vast and intricate tapestry of stories, gods, and legendary heroes that have shaped the cultures of the Pacific Islands for centuries. Spanning across a region known as the Polynesian Triangle—bounded by Hawaii, New Zealand (Aotearoa), and Easter Island (Rapa Nui)—these myths have been passed down through generations via oral tradition. Each island group has its own variations, yet many of the themes, characters, and cosmic beliefs remain deeply connected, reflecting a shared ancestry and worldview.  
    
  At the heart of Polynesian mythology is a deep reverence for nature and the forces that shape the world. The ocean, sky, and land are not merely elements of the physical environment but sacred entities, often personified by gods and spirits. The vast Pacific, for example, is not only a means of travel but also a living force, ruled by deities like Tangaroa, the god of the sea. The sun, moon, stars, and winds play crucial roles in these legends, guiding great navigators and influencing the balance of life.  
    
  Oral tradition is the foundation of Polynesian storytelling. Before the arrival of writing, myths and legends were preserved through chants, songs, and performances. Storytellers, often elders or priests, ensured that each retelling remained faithful to tradition while also adapting to the audience and setting. This fluidity allowed myths to evolve while maintaining their core meanings. Through these stories, people learned about their ancestry, moral values, and the origins of their world.

  Meditations

  Marcus Aurelius

  Brought to you by Altrusian Grace Media and narrated by Matthew Schmitz. 
  Meditations is a series of personal writings by Marcus Aurelius, Roman Emperor from AD 161 to 180, recording his private notes to himself and ideas on Stoic philosophy. 
  Marcus Aurelius wrote the 12 books of the Meditations in Koine Greek as a source for his own guidance and self-improvement. It is possible that large portions of the work were written at Sirmium, where he spent much time planning military campaigns from 170 to 180. Some of it was written while he was positioned at Aquincum on campaign in Pannonia, because internal notes reveal that the first book was written when he was campaigning against the Quadi on the river Granova (modern-day Hron in Slovakia) and the second book was written at Carnuntum. 
  It is unlikely that Marcus Aurelius ever intended the writings to be published. The work has no official title, so "Meditations" is one of several titles commonly assigned to the collection. These writings take the form of quotations varying in length from one sentence to long paragraphs.
