Sinossi

Rice Farming Life explores the profound connection between traditional rice cultivation and the cultural heritage of Asian societies. More than just an agricultural practice, rice farming has shaped family structures, social dynamics, and community values for generations. The book reveals how deeply ingrained rice farming is in the social fabric, highlighting, for example, the critical role of women in cultivation and the cooperative labor arrangements that bind communities together. It underscores the idea that understanding these traditional methods is crucial for addressing food security and preserving cultural identity in a rapidly changing world.

 
The book progresses by first introducing fundamental rice farming techniques and then delving into the critical components of rice farming life: the family unit, community networks, and cultural rituals tied to the rice cycle. Drawing upon historical records, ethnographic studies, and oral histories, Rice Farming Life offers a balanced perspective on the challenges facing traditional rice farming communities, such as climate change and global market pressures. By connecting to fields like anthropology and sociology, the book provides a rich, nuanced understanding of Asian agriculture and its enduring impact on rural economies.

    This magical, true and epic story is a wild ride through adventures around the world with explorations of other-dimensional realms and beings. The author’s wisdom gained through decades-long self-experimentations with non-ordinary states of consciousness are integrated in this book that shows how tangible projects such as films and activist movements can readily manifest when we follow our dreams.  
    In this fascinating story, Omananda describes how he lived with indigenous medicine tribes in Mexico, the Huicholes. These ancient medicine cultures have used psychoactive cacti, like the peyote, to pray in sacred ceremonies. The author spent years making films that, together with the combined effort of passionate people, helped to kick out billion dollar Canadian mining companies from Mexico that were in direct violation of the law and a threat to the indigenous cultures. The German-born author and filmmaker transmits what he has learned about the indigenous ways of life. 
    In the first two books of this series, readers experienced more travel stories and less contemplative content, but in this third part, channeled information appears in periodic intervals and the author gets more philosophical towards the end of the book where he lists easy-to-practice, non-religious, yet powerful, spiritual methods and exercises for personal transformation.  
    When Dream and Reality Merge into ONE is the continuation of the author’s transcendental journeys. Character names have been changed to protect the individuals' privacy. Everything else remains authentic to the facts as it was experienced.

    The Rothschilds KGB Masterspy...

    The UK’s Cambridge University Ring of Spies were the most dangerous agents the West has known, causing great damage to the intelligence services in the UK and US over more than half a century. Four double agents of the key Ring, Burgess, Maclean, Philby and Blunt were uncovered by 1979. Only two – a husband and wife team – escaped detection. This updated edition of The Fifth Man reveals that the last of the infamous spy ring were Lord (Victor) Rothschild of the grand banking dynasty and his wife Tess. 
    Professor Roland Perry exposes how they became super spies, working concurrently with British Intelligence, the KGB and Mossad. With information from the KGB’s finest master Control, Yuri Modin, devastating testimony from the former head of the KGB and Soviet military intelligence (the GRU), Ivan ‘The Terrible’ Serov, former UK Soviet Embassy spy, Vladimir Barkovsky and a raft of others. 
    After their WW2 espionage for Stalin, which helped defeat Hitler and the Nazis, the brilliantly deceptive Rothschilds went on spying for the Russians well into the Cold War. They contrived in a genius elevation of spy craft to divert suspicion from themselves to the innocent figure of MI5’s Director, Roger Hollis, and a score of others. 
    The Fifth Man update includes thirty more years of deep research in Russia, the UK, the US, France and Australia in the compilation of an extended and compelling narrative. According to the leading publisher of espionage books in the Cold War period, Pan Macmillan’s William Armstrong, this book explained the entire mystery of the main 20th Century British double agents. 
    In an additional expose here, Roland Perry makes a strong case beyond the circumstantial for naming Anthony Blunt, the fourth member of the Ring, as the bastard child of King George V. Blunt was an MI5 agent and curator of the Royal pictures working for his half-brother King George VI, and niece, Queen Elizabeth II.

    The illuminati are a shadowy group that controls the world from behind the scenes. They're pulling the strings of the financial elite, government, the media, and even natural disasters. 
     
    The illuminati are in fact aliens. This is not a conspiracy theory, this is fact. The illuminati are a secret society that has been manipulating the world for centuries. They are responsible for major political and social events, and they control the everything. They are secretive and powerful, and they are not human. In fact, their bloodline goes back millennia to the very moment they genetically manipulated the human race on Earth. 
     
    The evidence is clear. The illuminati are aliens, and they are not our friends. They are manipulative and controlling, and they are hiding in the shadows. If you're not careful, they will control you too.

    Napoleon’s Grande Armée: The...

    Nearly 50 years after Napoleon met his Waterloo, generals across the West continued to study his tactics and engage their armies the same way armies fought during the Napoleonic Era. Despite advances in military technology and the advent of railroads for transportation, all of which made defensive warfare more effective, acclaimed military geniuses like Robert E. Lee used flank attacks and infantry charges against superior numbers in an effort to win decisive victories, and it would not be until World War I that concepts of modern warfare made the Napoleonic Era of the early 19th century outdated. 
    The French army which became known as the Grande Armée existed for just 10 years, from 1805 – 1815, and the question of what it was about this army that allowed it to win so many notable victories and to survive defeats which would have destroyed lesser armies has fascinated historians and writers ever since. After all, in terms of equipment, weapons, and battlefield tactics, there was little to distinguish the Grande Armée from other European armies in the early 1800s, but in battles such as Austerlitz (1805), Jena-Auerstedt (1806) and Wagram (1809) it won stunning victories, often against numerically superior enemies. No single factor can account for these victories, which could be attributed to a combination of high morale, a truly egalitarian approach to promotion from the ranks, a radical army organization, and the inspired leadership of Napoleon, all of which combined to make the Grande Armée virtually unbeatable for the first few years of its existence.  
    At the same time, Napoleon and his Grande Armée’s most famous campaigns were the ones that ended in defeat. At Waterloo, it would end disastrously, as Napoleon’s armies were unable to dislodge Wellington and unable to keep the Prussians from linking up with the British. The battle would end with the French suffering nearly 60% casualties and it would end Napoleon’s reign.

    A Dusty Tomes Audio BookIn Cooperation with Spoken Realms 
    Slavery and Abolition 1831–1841 by Albert Bushnell Hart, LLD. Professor of History at Harvard University. Published in 1906 by Harper and Brothers. 
    Narrated by Joseph Tabler. This book is in the public domain. It is read ‘as written.' 
    Narrator’s Note: an excellent book! Quite smart and thorough. Well written by the Editor of the Series. 
    Volume 16 of 27 in The American Nation: A History From Original Sources by Associated Scholars published by Harper Brothers (1904–1918). Edited by Albert Bushnell Hart, Professor of History at Harvard University. 
    In the Editor’s Introduction to the series: That a new history of the United States is needed, extending from the discovery down to the present time, hardly needs a statement. No such comprehensive work by a competent writer is now in existence. Individual writers have treated only limited chronological fields. Meantime there is a rapid increase of published sources and of serviceable monographs based on material hitherto unused. On the one side, there is a necessity for an intelligent summarizing of the present knowledge of American history by trained specialists; on the other hand, there is a need for a complete work, written in an untechnical style, which shall serve the instruction and the entertainment of the general reader. 
    From the Author’s Preface: Except perhaps the struggle between patriots and tories at the outbreak of the Revolution, no controversy in the history of the United States has aroused such passion and led to such momentous results as that between the advocates and the opponents of slavery … The book has the double purpose of describing the conditions of slavery and the state of mind of those interested in it or against it, and at the same time recording the events which mark the anti-slavery agitation. 
    It is hard for a son and grandson of abolitionists to approach so explosive a question with impartiality, but the book is intended to show that there was more than one side to the controversy and that both the milder form of opposition called antislavery and the extremer form called abolition were confronted by practical difficulties which to many public-spirited and conscientious men seemed insurmountable.

    Dusty Tomes Audio Books are public domain books retrieved from history. If today’s technology had been available when first printed, they would be audio books already. I am grateful for the opportunity to record them now. Read online at archive.org 
    Narrator’s Note: I read only as written. These old books were once solid sellers for bookmen of their time. I believe they can shed light on their times and ours. I love obscure and remote literature, they are a distinct pleasure for me to read to you. These turn out to be distant and unknown only so long as they remain unread, or unheard. Aloha.
