Beschreibung

The Kingdom of Hawaiʻi (Ke Aupuni Hawaiʻi), was a sovereign state located in the Hawaiian Islands. The country was formed in 1795, when the warrior chief Kamehameha the Great, of the independent island of Hawaiʻi, conquered the islands of Oʻahu, Maui, Molokai and Lānaʻi and unified them under one government. In 1810, the whole Hawaiian archipelago became unified when Kauaʻi and Niʻihau joined the Hawaiian Kingdom voluntarily. Two major dynastic families ruled the kingdom: the House of Kamehameha and the House of Kalākaua.
The kingdom won recognition from the major European powers and the United States became its chief trading partner. In 1887 King Kalākaua was forced to accept a new constitution in a coup by the Honolulu Rifles, an anti-monarchist militia. Queen Liliʻuokalani, who succeeded Kalākaua in 1891, tried to abrogate the new constitution. She was overthrown in 1893, largely at the hands of the Committee of Safety. Hawaiʻi was briefly an independent republic until the U.S. annexed it through the Newlands Resolution on July 4, 1898, which created the Territory of Hawaiʻi.
Historian Boris Yousef presents in this essay the five constitutions of the Kingdom of Hawaii, from that of 1840 to the one, which never entered into force, of 1893.

    In this bundle of audiobooks, you will get the following topics: 
    1 - It’s a hard name to pronounce, but hey, it’s been the legend of Native American peoples for centuries. Was it a man? Was it a god? Was it a white person? Or was it some animal or strange thing? Quetzalcoatl is an Aztec divine being whose name originates from the Nahuatl language and meaning "valuable snake" or "Quetzal-feathered Snake." 
    2 - The cult image, female divine being, and folk saint Nuestra Seora de la Santa Muerte (Spanish meaning: Our Woman of the Holy Death) is a cult image, female divine being, and folk saint in Mexican Neopaganism and folk Catholicism. 
    3 - Topics such as these will be addressed: 
    The beginnings of the Mayans. 
    Human sacrifice, temples, sites, and religious principles in the Maya culture. 
    The Mayan culture and society. 
    The role of Maya women. 
    The ancient ruins that can be visited by tourists today. 
    4 - When you think of the Aztecs, you might think of certain movies you have seen or what you've been taught in history class. And although some of those images and descriptions fit the main narrative, there is still much left to be discovered. This brief book will take you on a journey and kidnap your imagination to a faraway place in time. 
    5 - Although not really Mexican, this bonus book gives you more insight into ancient American civilizations, in this case, the Inca society. The Inca empire was vast and massive. Yet, still so few people know much about it, aside from what they've heard from vague rumors. But did you know the Inca people showed various similarities to those who came from the Middle East? Did you know that they mummified their dead and built pyramids?

    The Sacred Alphabet - Language, Meaning and Mind invites listeners on a profound journey into the origins and mysteries of human language. From the first sounds of the human soul to the sacred symbols of ancient scripts, this audiobook explores how sound, symbol, and meaning weave together to shape consciousness itself. 
    Discover how alphabets and glyphs evolved from sacred art into tools of thought, how words carry emotional weight that can heal or harm, and how the shared roots of speech reveal deep connections across cultures. With chapters spanning the music of meaning, the emotional resonance of words, and the divine dimensions of sacred texts, The Sacred Alphabet illuminates the living relationship between language, mind, and spirit. 
    This audiobook is for listeners who are fascinated by linguistics, drawn to spiritual traditions, or curious about the hidden architecture of human thought, this audiobook offers a rich tapestry of insights into how language shapes reality - and how the future of words, symbols, and consciousness may redefine what it means to be human.

    Marcus Garvey's The Tragedy of White Injustice is a powerful indictment of white racism and colonialism. Garvey argues that the white race has a long history of oppressing and exploiting non-white people all over the world, and that white racism is not simply a matter of individual prejudice, but rather a deeply ingrained system of oppression that is maintained by white institutions and social structures. Garvey also discusses the impact of white racism on Black people, arguing that it has caused them to suffer physical, psychological, and spiritual damage, and has prevented them from reaching their full potential. Garvey's book is a call to action for Black people to unite and resist oppression, and to build their own institutions and economies so that they can achieve self-determination.

    Confronting racism is difficult but essential work if we are to heal the brokenness in our society and our church. In the author's words, "We all are wounded by the sin of racism . . . How can we struggle together against an evil that harms us all?" 
     
     
     
    Racial Justice and the Catholic Church examines the presence of racism in America from its early history through the Civil Rights Movement and the election of Barack Obama. It also explores how Catholic social teaching has been used—and not used—to promote reconciliation and justice. 
     
     
     
    Massingale writes from an abiding conviction that the Catholic faith and the black experience make essential contributions in the continuing struggle against racial injustice that is the work of all people. His book is a must-listen for all those concerned with justice and healing in our world.

    The universe wakes up through you. 
    We see history as an unceasing flow of causality and time; an endless series of past events leading up to the present. We feel ourselves as the detached observers of it, somehow standing on the outside watching the world go by. But the truth is we’re not on the outside. We’re at the very center of it all. 
    Interweaving history, mythology, psychology, and mystical experience, author John Payne charts the journey of I from its Paleolithic origins through the emergence of language and literacy, forward through the worldviews of the Greeks and Hebrews, and on to the present time. 
    The premise of this book is that the Universe’s most sincere project is the creation of a self-reflection point called I. Climbing up out of the universe’s primordia using the rungs of matter, animal biology and cultural enterprises such as myth, religion, literacy and science, Consciousness has constricted itself to a place two inches behind your forehead. 
    And it has been waiting for you to wake up.

    A 36‑lecture audio course on how wars are actually fought in the machine age—from seabed cables and city power grids to low‑Earth orbit, cislunar space, and the neural loop between a human and a weapon. We break the kill chain open: sensing and space‑based cueing; edge compute and target fusion; communications that survive jamming; and the things that do damage—mines, missiles, loitering munitions, directed energy, electromagnetic pulse, and code. 
    We make the stack legible for operators and serious thinkers alike: synthetic aperture radar becomes SAR; high‑altitude long endurance becomes HALE; link budgets and laser crosslinks stop being magic and start being math you can reason about in words. You will see how orbital “stalkers” shadow satellites, why stratospheric platforms matter when air defenses make manned ISR bleed, how decoys and digital camouflage fracture an adversary’s picture, and where the automation boundary really sits when AI runs parts of the kill web with a human on the loop. 
    Engineering reality, not brochure fog, sets the pace. We trace power budgets, attrition math, and reconstitution timelines; map chokepoints in chips, propellants, optics, batteries, and shipyards; and follow sanctions, export controls, and standards as operational constraints, not afterthoughts. 
    The glidepath is explicit. 2025 to 2035: proliferated space, cheap autonomy, hard lessons from electronic warfare. 2035 to 2050: directed‑energy baselines, resilient meshes, smarter decoys. 2050 to 2075 and beyond: cislunar logistics with teeth, human performance management that is governed not ghoulish, brain–computer interfaces that shorten loops without erasing judgment. 
    Rigorous, unsentimental, and built for the intellectually ambitious, this course is an operator’s guide to modern combat systems—how they are built, how they break, and how they win.
