History of Marathas EP06 - Visit...

Vikrant Pande

'I did not come here just to receive the royal honour. My son is a panch hazari Mansabdar under the Badshah. He can be made to stand wherever the Badshah wishes him to. But I am not a servant of the Badshah! I am a Raja in my own right!'
The three of them returned, unable to convince Shivaji. They explained the situation to the Badshah when Ram Singh said, 'Alijah! It seems the hot Agra weather has not suited Raje. Please pardon him. He will present himself soon.'
'I can understand his feelings,' said Aurangzeb.
'Ram Singh, please sprinkle my special gulab jal on him to cool him down. Please request him to come back. We will then talk.'

Stranger Than Science Stories...

Martin K. Ettington

This book is my second on stranger than science stories and facts. The idea is from the book “Stranger Than Science” by Frank Edwards that I read when I was a kid. It made a great impression on me since it caused me to be curious about all of the unknown facts in the world.In this Volume Two I’ve gone through my 120 plus books again to find interesting subjects I’ve either experienced or researched which were not discussed in the first book.My goal is to open the eyes of the reader to facts and stories about the unknown they may not know about. Hopefully this will lead you to become more open minded and think seriously about new things which may not have been part of your life before.Here you will read stories about the Paranormal, Spiritual Enlightenment, Legendary animals like Dragons, giant snakes, living dinosaurs, ball lightning, alien anti-gravity technology, improving longevity, and much more.I promise you will not be bored with the materials we cover here.After reading this book I hope you can see that our world is truly mysterious and the more we know, the more questions we have, and the more there is to know.

Shrink the City - The 15-Minute...

Natalie Whittle

Cities define the lives of all those who call them home: where we go, how we get there, how we spend our time. But what if we rethink the ways we plan, live in, and move around our cities? What if we didn't need a car to reach the grocery store? What if we could get back the time we would have spent commuting and put it to other uses? 
 
 
 
In this fascinating, carefully researched and reported book, longtime Financial Times journalist Natalie Whittle investigates the 15-minute city idea—its pros, cons, and its potential to revolutionize modern living. 
 
 
 
From Paris, Melbourne, and Rotterdam to Charlotte, North Carolina, and Tempe, Arizona, cities worldwide are being guided by the 15-minute city's ideals—with varying results. By looking at these examples, Whittle considers: 
 
 
 
● what really happens when a city expands bike lanes and pedestrian areas—and disincentivizes long commutes 
 
 
 
● which approaches to building affordable housing are actually effective 
 
 
 
● how neighborhoods of varying wealth are affected by 15-minute city policies 
 
 
 
This timely book serves as a call to reflect on our cities and neighborhoods—and it outfits us with insights on how to make them more sustainable, safe, and welcoming.

Collapse and Conflict - The Fall...

Rogan Fish

Journey into the heart of one of the greatest collapses in human history. Collapse and Conflict: The Fall and Fracturing of the Roman Empire (3 in 1) is a powerful collection that captures the drama, chaos, and slow disintegration of a civilization once thought invincible. As the Roman Empire crumbled beneath the weight of corruption, invasions, economic turmoil, and internal strife, the echoes of its decline would shape the course of Western civilization for centuries to come. 
This volume includes three richly detailed works. The Fall of Rome provides a sweeping account of the final days of the Western Empire, examining the pressures both from within and beyond its borders. Glory and Decay explores the transformation of Rome’s grandeur into fragmentation, as cities crumbled, institutions weakened, and emperors rose and fell in rapid succession. Finally, The Roman Empire Uncovered digs deeper into the myths and realities of the Empire’s decline, revealing the lesser-known events, key figures, and regional shifts that contributed to Rome’s ultimate disintegration. 
Blending historical narrative with insightful analysis, this trilogy is ideal for readers passionate about ancient history, the rise and fall of empires, and the enduring legacy of Rome. Whether you're a student, scholar, or curious reader, these pages offer a captivating exploration of a world on the edge of collapse—and the birth of what came next.
