Summary

An essential read for those who are passionate about Scotland and its mysterious and beautiful tapestry of history and landscape.
In this book David R. Ross tracks Scotland through the ages, detailing incidents, places and people that are key to Scotland's history, from the Dark Ages to Devolution. Leading his readers to ancient monuments and the stories surrounding them, to modern cities and the burial sites of kings, Ross guides us on a quest to discover the essentials of Scottish history – and to find things we never knew existed.
From William Wallace's possible steps, the legend of King Arthur and the reign of Robert the Bruce, to rugged raging battlegrounds, moors and mountains, and Scottish film locations, Ross' journey around Scotland links the past to the present, bringing us face-to-face with the elements that have created the Scotland we know today.

  • Adam and Eve and The Great Reset - How an Ancient Cataclysm Warning was Silenced for 50 Years - cover

    Adam and Eve and The Great Reset...

    Classified for 50 years by the CIA - now the hidden truth is revealed. 
    In 1966, The Adam and Eve Story by Chan Thomas shocked the scientific world with a chilling theory: sudden, violent pole shifts have erased civilizations in a single day. Within months, the CIA seized the manuscript, releasing only a heavily redacted 57-page fragment decades later. The rest-over 200 pages-vanished from public view. 
    Adam and Eve and the Great Reset uncovers the full story. From Hapgood's Earth crust displacement theory to modern evidence of global floods, ancient civilizations, and lost knowledge, this investigation connects the dots between archaeology, astronomy, and suppressed history. 
    Drawing on the work of Randall Carlson, Graham Hancock, The Comet Research Group, and The Ethical Skeptic, the book reveals that our ancestors left warnings carved into stone, encoded in myth, and aligned with the stars. Göbekli Tepe, the pyramids of Giza, and more than 175 flood legends all point to the same terrifying truth - Earth's cataclysm cycle is real, and we may be closer to the next reset than we think. 
    Secrets can be hidden. Warnings can be ignored. But the cycle cannot be stopped.

    Hellenistic and Roman Naval Wars...

    A technological, strategic, and tactical history of ancient naval ships from Alexander to the battle of Actium. 
     
     
     
    The period covered in this book is well known for its epic battles and grand campaigns of territorial conquest, but Hellenistic monarchies, Carthaginians, and the rapacious Roman Republic were scarcely less active at sea. Huge resources were poured into maintaining fleets not only as symbols of prestige but as means of projecting real military power across the Mediterranean arena. 
     
     
     
    Taking the period between Alexander the Great's conquests and the Battle of Actium, John Grainger analyzes the developments in naval technology and tactics, the uses and limitations of sea power and the differing strategies of the various powers. He shows, for example, how the Rhodians and the Romans eschewed the ever-larger monster galleys favored by most Hellenistic monarchs in favor of smaller vessels. This is a fascinating study of a neglected aspect of ancient warfare.

    SELF-REGULATION SKILLS - How To...

    Self-regulation can be defined in various ways. In the most basic sense, it involves controlling one's behavior, emotions, and thoughts to pursue long-term goals. More specifically, emotional self-regulation refers to managing disruptive emotions and impulses. In other words, to think before acting. It also reflects the ability to cheer yourself up after disappointments and work in a way consistent with your deepest values. 
    It's easy to see how a lack of self-regulation will cause problems in life. A child who yells or hits other children out of frustration will not be famous among peers and may face reprimands at school. An adult with poor self-regulation skills may lack self-confidence and self-esteem and have trouble handling stress and frustration. Often, this might be expressed in anger or anxiety. In more severe cases, it may be diagnosed as a mental disorder. 
    Self-regulation is also essential because it allows you to follow your deeply held values or social conscience and express yourself appropriately. If you value academic achievement, it will enable you to study instead of slack off before a test. 
    Many students do not possess the self-regulatory skills they need to become high academic performers.  
    Some students have found ways to regulate their learning and develop a system of control that shields them from motivational interference and conflict. Limiting distractions and using music to tune out distractions are students' most common self-regulatory strategies to manage motivational interference and conflict. Other students use athletics.
