Sinossi

Spanning centuries of evolution, "History of Finance: From the Origins of Stock Exchanges to Modern Financial Systems" explores in depth the development of world finance, from the earliest forms of exchange and trade to the era of cryptocurrencies and decentralised finance. This book offers a detailed analysis of how the financial system has transformed, coping with crises, adapting to technological changes and shaping the global economy.Divided into ten chapters, the text begins with an exploration of the first stock exchanges, analysing how they were born and grew in global financial centres such as Amsterdam, London and New York. Each historical phase is treated carefully, focusing on key moments such as the Great Depression, the financial crises of recent decades and the technological revolutions that changed the face of finance.With the advent of technology, finance has seen the emergence of blockchain, digital currencies and decentralised finance (DeFi). The book delves into the mechanisms of these new instruments, examining their impact on traditional markets, regulations and consumer habits. Special attention is paid to central bank digital currencies (CBDCs), the role of stablecoins, and the rise of NFTs (Non-Fungible Tokens) as new forms of digital ownership.In addition to covering traditional financial topics, the text looks at the future of finance, exploring emerging opportunities related to asset tokenization, metaverse markets and the expansion of decentralised governance through DAOs. Through an accessible yet technical narrative, the book explores how modern technologies are redefining finance, creating a more inclusive and transparent system.The reader will be guided through the main concepts of economics and finance, understanding how economic crises have influenced reforms and how new technologies are paving the way for a new global financial paradigm.

    Unlike many other books on the subject of near-death experiences (NDEs), Lessons from the Light is intended mainly for those who have never had an NDE themselves but wish to learn from those who have. In clear language, the practical lessons for living and dying are to be found from the study of NDEs. Written by one of the foremost authorities on NDEs, Dr. Kenneth Ring, Lessons from the Light is a book for those who looking to gain knowledge and wisdom to enhance their own lives by incorporating the insights stemming from what many people have come to believe is the ultimate spiritual experience of our time. Listeners will discover for themselves what others have had nearly to die to learn, and how their own lives can blossom in ways that are typical for persons who have undergone NDEs directly. 
     
     
     
    Although Lessons from the Light recounts many moving stories of NDEs, it is not just another book filled with inspiring testimonies but has helpful guidance and practical exercises concerning how listeners can make use of this knowledge to live with greater self-insight, self-compassion, and concern for others, as well as to be better prepared for death, dying, and bereavement. Listeners can apply what they have learned to their own lives and absorb and internalize these lessons from the Light in such a way as to lead to deep personal and spiritual transformation.

  • Ancient Egyptian Law and Governance - Systems of Order and Justice - cover

    Ancient Egyptian law was deeply rooted in the concept of Ma’at, the divine order that governed the universe and ensured balance, truth, and justice. This principle was not just a philosophical ideal but a practical guide for governance and social conduct. The legal system in Egypt was designed to maintain harmony within society, regulate disputes, and uphold the authority of the ruling elite. Unlike modern legal frameworks based on written statutes, Egyptian law was a combination of tradition, royal decrees, and religious doctrines. It was adaptable, relying on the wisdom of judges and officials rather than rigid legal codes. 
    The origins of legal traditions in ancient Egypt can be traced back to the early dynastic period when the first centralized state emerged. As society became more complex, a structured system of governance was necessary to manage resources, trade, and interpersonal conflicts. The earliest evidence of legal practice comes from administrative records, tomb inscriptions, and temple documents, which indicate that law was an integral part of daily life. While no single codified legal text has survived, references to decrees issued by pharaohs suggest that laws were issued and enforced at the highest levels of authority. 
    At the heart of Egyptian governance was the role of Ma’at, which extended beyond ethical conduct to legal proceedings. Ma’at represented a cosmic balance that rulers were duty-bound to uphold. The pharaoh, as the earthly representative of the gods, was seen as the ultimate source of justice. His decrees and judgments set legal precedents, shaping the administration of law across the kingdom. This divine connection made Egyptian law unique, as it blended religious principles with practical governance, ensuring that justice was not only a human responsibility but also a sacred duty.

    World War II was the largest and most violent armed conflict in the history of mankind. Highly relevant today, World War II has much to teach us, not only about the profession of arms, but also about military preparedness, global strategy, and combined operations in the coalition war against fascism. This book follows military operations of the US Army in the Northern France from 25 July to 14 September 1944. 
    As July 1944 entered its final week, Allied forces in Normandy faced, at least on the surface, a most discouraging situation. In the east, near Caen, the British and Canadians were making little progress against fierce German resistance. In the west, American troops were bogged down in the Norman hedgerows. These massive, square walls of earth, five feet high and topped by hedges, had been used by local farmers over the centuries to divide their fields and protect their crops and cattle from strong ocean winds. The Germans had turned these embankments into fortresses, canalizing the American advance into narrow channels, which were easily covered by antitank weapons and machine guns. The stubborn defenders were also aided by some of the worst weather seen in Normandy since the turn of the century, as incessant downpours turned country lanes into rivers of mud. By 25 July, the size of the Allied beachhead had not even come close to the dimensions that pre D-day planners had anticipated, and the slow progress revived fears in the Allied camp of a return to the static warfare of World War I. Few would have believed that, in the space of a month and a half, Allied armies would stand triumphant at the German border...
