Beschreibung

Egyptian Obelisks Transport explores the remarkable engineering feats behind the creation of ancient Egyptian obelisks. These monolithic monuments, some weighing hundreds of tons, were quarried, transported, and erected using techniques that continue to fascinate historians and engineers alike. The book uncovers how the ancient Egyptians mastered quarrying techniques without modern machinery, including the use of dolerite tools to extract stone. It further investigates the sophisticated transportation methods employed to move these colossal structures across land and water, revealing the organizational prowess required for such massive undertakings.

 
The book’s approach is structured, beginning with an introduction to obelisks within Egyptian architecture and religion. It then details quarrying operations, followed by an analysis of transportation logistics, erection techniques, and finally, an examination of the symbolism of obelisks. By examining archaeological evidence, historical texts, and recent experimental findings, the book highlights the religious and political significance of obelisks, emphasizing their connection to pharaonic power and their lasting impact on the Egyptian landscape.

 
The successful construction of obelisks reflects the advanced nature of ancient Egyptian civilization and their sophisticated understanding of engineering principles.

    Get the best from accelerating social change with the new audiobook from the bestselling author of 2030 and “acclaimed thought leader” (Kirkus), Mauro Guillén. Adam Grant praises how the book "invites us to rethink our careers, our families, and our future plans.” Find out why business leaders and bestselling authors around the world are calling it "sharply relevant and necessary" (William P. Lauder), "insightful and deeply researched" (Richard Florida), and "a must read" (Mohammed A. El-Erian). In today’s world, the acceleration of megatrends – increasing longevity and the explosion of technology among many others – are transforming life as we now know it.In The Perennials, bestselling author of 2030 Mauro Guillén unpacks a sweeping societal shift triggered by demographic and technological transformation. Guillén argues that outmoded terms like Boomers, Gen X, Millennials, and Gen Z have long been used to pigeonhole us into rigid categories and life stages, artificially preventing people from reaching their full potential. A new postgenerational workforce known as “perennials” – individuals who are not pitted against each other either by their age or experience – makes it possible to liberate scores of people from the constraints of the sequential model of life and level the playing field so that everyone has a chance at living a rewarding life. Guillén unveils how this generational revolution will impact young people just entering the workforce as well as those who are living and working longer. This multigenerational revolution is already happening and Mauro Guillén identifies the specific cultural, organizational and policy changes that need to be made in order to switch to a new template and usher in a new era of innovation powered by the perennials.A Macmillan Audio production from St. Martin’s Press.

    "An invaluable assessment of Lewis's reception in the United States, offering important insights into both Lewis's significance and the distinctives of the American religious mind." – Alister McGrath, Oxford University
    Perhaps no other literary figure has transformed the American religious landscape in recent history as much as C. S. Lewis. Even before the international publication and incredible success of his fictional works such as The Chronicles of Narnia or apologetic works like Mere Christianity, Lewis was already being read "across the pond" in America. But who exactly was reading his work? And how was he received?
    With fresh research and shrewd analysis, this volume by noted historian Mark A. Noll considers the surprising reception of Lewis among Roman Catholic, mainline Protestant, and evangelical readers to see how early readings of the Oxford don shaped his later influence.
    Based on the annual lecture series hosted at Wheaton College's Marion E. Wade Center, volumes in the Hansen Series reflect on the imaginative work and lasting influence of seven British authors: Owen Barfield, G. K. Chesterton, C. S. Lewis, George MacDonald, Dorothy L. Sayers, J. R. R. Tolkien, and Charles Williams.

    What if consciousness is not something we have — but something reality is made of? 
    Ultimate Mind Theory begins with a single, undeniable truth: I am conscious. From that starting point, this book constructs a layered system of logic that reaches far beyond personal insight — into the architecture of existence itself. 
    This is not a spiritual belief or philosophical guess. 
     It is a theory — complete with structure, stages, and internal checks — that dares to ask: 
    What are the 7 irreducible facts of conscious experience? 
    What laws must follow from being aware at all? 
    Why do pain, desire, and emotion obey patterns — and what are they trying to resolve? 
    Could our personal struggles reflect a much older story — one built into the nature of reality? 
    Combining deep logic with emotional clarity, Ultimate Mind Theory offers a radical yet grounded map of existence. It reinterprets karma, suffering, evolution, and the very shape of the self — not through mysticism, but through coherent, testable reasoning. 
    For those discontent with shallow answers and hungry for meaning that holds up under pressure, this book offers a challenge: 
    Start with what you know. Follow it to where you never expected.

    The strange tale of how one Jewish family—the Rothschilds—became a lightning rod for conspiracy theories over the course of the last two centuries . . .  
     
     
     
    In 2018 Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene took to social media to share her suspicions that the California wildfires were started by 'space solar generators' which were funded by powerful, mysterious backers. Instantly, thousands of people rallied around her, blaming the fires on "Jewish space lasers" and, ultimately, the Rothschild family. 
     
     
      
    For more than 200 years, the name "Rothschild" has been synonymous with two things: great wealth, and conspiracy theories about what they're "really doing" with it. Almost from the moment Mayer Amschel Rothschild and his sons emerged from the Jewish ghetto of Frankfurt to revolutionize the banking world, the Rothschild family has been the target of myths, hoaxes, bizarre accusations, and constant, virulent antisemitism. Over the years, they have been blamed for everything from the sinking of the Titanic, to causing the Great Depression, and even creating the COVID-19 pandemic. 
     
     
     
    Jewish Space Lasers is a deeply researched dive into the history of the conspiracy industry around the Rothschild family.

    Read by the author. 
    Many of us feel like we don't belong or are out of touch with our true identity. Discover how you can gain a stronger sense of who God made you to be and step confidently into every relationship, fully owning your unique distinctions and celebrating the differences of others. 
    Group dynamics can be based on the simplest forms of physical and cultural distinctions, and those who don't quite fit the mold of a group can feel like outsiders. The reality is none of us fit into a box. We're all unique with a mixed background—socially, culturally, experientially. For some of us, like Eli Bonilla Jr., we are also mixed ethnically. No one person is an identical copy of anyone else. 
    In Mixed, Eli questions the basis of unity and inclusion and explores the multiple components of our identity, discovering how they can all be reconciled for God's purpose as we reflect His image. Mixed will lead you to:find peace with the complexity within yourself,understand yourself more deeply so you can relate to others,experience more human connection through a God-led identity, anddevelop greater empathy, celebrate cultures without creating division, and fight for people in the margins. 
      
    Eli will remind you that God made you the way you are for good reason, and you belong wherever He says you belong. Pairing personal stories with biblical teaching, Eli will inspire you not to hold back from others but to confidently share the fullness of who you are, and to love, celebrate, and unite with people who are not just different, but beautifully complex.
