    The history of the tablets translated in the following pages is strange and beyond modern scientists' comprehension. Their age is astounding, dating back 36,000 years B.C. Thoth is an Atlantean Priest-King who established a colony in ancient Egypt after the mother country was sunk. He was the builder of the Great Pyramid of Giza, which has been incorrectly attributed to Cheops. He included his knowledge of ancient wisdom as well as securely hidden records and instruments from ancient Atlantis. 
    From approximately 50,000 B.C. to 36.000 B.C., he ruled the ancient race of Egypt for approximately 16,000 years. The ancient barbarous race among which he and his followers had settled had advanced to a high level of civilization at the time. Thoth was immortal, that is, he had defeated death, passing only when he wished and not through death. His vast knowledge elevated him to the throne of the various Atlantean colonies, including those in South and Central America. 
    When the time came for him to leave Egypt, he built the Great Pyramid over the entrance to the Great Halls of Amenti, placed his records inside, and appointed guards from among the highest of his people to guard his secrets. The descendants of these guards later became the pyramid priests, through whom Thoth was deified as the God of Wisdom, The Recorder, by those living in the age of darkness that followed his death. The halls of Amenti were transformed into the underworld, the Halls of the Gods, where the soul passed after death for judgment. 
    The ego of Thoth passed into the bodies of men in later ages, as described in the tablets. As a result, he incarnated three times, the last time as Hermes, the thrice-born. In this incarnation, he left the Emerald Tablets, a later and far less complete exposition of the ancient mysteries.

    From 1845 to 1865 the Gulf of Mexico was at the center of American expansion and southern imperialism. A Continuous State of War tells the story of several communities as well as countries such as Mexico and Cuba, to uncover the way that wars within the upper rim of the Gulf of Mexico facilitated American and southern attempts to conquer Latin American nations. In the push for westward expansion that preceded the Civil War, white southerners along with other Americans engaged in violent conquest in Latin America and the American West. Through the wars that are chronicled here, white southern concepts of race became more rigidly fixed. 
     
     
     
    Maria Angela Diaz covers several conflicts leading up to the Civil War with Mexicans, Cubans, and Native Americans. She places the Civil War within this framework and follows the trajectory of relations with Latin America through the end of the Civil War and ex-Confederates' attempts to emigrate abroad. Gulf Coast communities facilitated both the physical efforts to seize territory and the construction of the highly racialized imperialist ideas that reimagined Latin America as a region that could secure the South's future. Yet the pursuit of that territory created a fluctuating and uncertain situation that shaped the choices of the diverse peoples who lived along the upper rim of the Gulf of Mexico in ways they did not expect.

    Five Major Reasons Africa is...

    Africa is one of the oldest continents but hasn’t it struck you as absolutely odd how a continent endowed with such wealth in terms of both ground resource as well as human resource, unbelievably great weather and wonderful soil can have such unbelievably high levels of poverty? It is nothing short of preposterous. 
    What makes this worse for is the fact that 58 years later, Africa still grapples with so much challenges that make you wonder why it has taken us so long as a people to be emancipated in every way. 
    In 1963, on 1st May, leaders from all across free and colonized Africa gathered in Addis Ababa with a dream of seeing the African continent become one giant regional power. It has not happened yet – but however that does not take away the yearning every son and daughter of the soil has to see Pan Africanism materialize. 
    The purpose for this narrative by the author in this particular book is to add his voice and help ignite any smoldering rubble of broken dreams and disenchantment back to a blazing flame. 
    It is Mwambazi’s opinion that Africa has everything it needs to become the economic engine of the entire world and can and will surpass both the West and the East should its citizens awaken to their true potential. 
    Now here is the enigma, AFRICA DOESN’T NEED THE REST OF THE WORLD TO SURVIVE BUT THE WORLD NEEDS AFRICA TO SURVIVE. I believe the Second African Renaissance is upon us, but it will take A COLLECTIVE AWAKENING OF THE GIANT’S INDIVIDUAL COMPONENTS – ITS PEOPLE!

    In 1974, Judge George Boldt issued a ruling that affirmed the fishing rights and tribal sovereignty of Native nations in Washington State. The Boldt Decision transformed Indigenous law and resource management across the United States and beyond. The case also brought about far-reaching societal changes, reinforcing tribal sovereignty and remedying decades of injustice. 
     
     
     
    Eminent legal historian and tribal advocate Charles Wilkinson tells the story of the Boldt Decision against the backdrop of salmon's central place in the cultures and economies of the Pacific Northwest. In the 1960s, Native people reasserted their fishing rights as delineated in nineteenth-century treaties. In response, state officials worked with non-Indian commercial and sport fishing interests to forcefully oppose Native actions. These "fish wars" spurred twenty tribes and the United States government to file suit in federal court. Boldt pointedly waited until Lincoln's birthday to hand down a decision recognizing the tribes' right to half of the state's fish. The case's aftermath led from the Supreme Court's affirmation of Boldt's opinion to collaborative management of the harvest of salmon. 
     
     
     
    Treaty Justice weaves personalities and local detail into the definitive account of one of the twentieth century's most important civil rights cases.

    For readers who enjoy a dark mysterious plot with their sexy books, this m/m (and m/m/m) series is just as sinister as it is kinky and was inspired by the Edgar Allan Poe tale, “The Fall of the House of Usher.” 
    A gay otter boy (meaning: a young fit man who does not shave his body hair) named Alexander, is an out-of-work huslter in his small town by the ocean. In a sudden change of luck he finds himself drawn to a strange mansion and inside, a mysterious millionaire pulls him into a world of sinister extravagance and sexual discipline. With a background as a sex worker, Alexander is no stranger to trading his furry body for money, but he was never expecting to develop deep feelings for his new eccentric keeper. 
    With an introduction to the BDSM lifestyle, the mostly submissive Alexander learns a great deal about himself and his master through whipping, CBT, endurance, and being collared to an older man. Unsure if he is a toy, pet, or partner to the Daddy of the manor he used to think was abandoned, Alexander navigates the secrets of the interior with another otter boy from his past. Things get complicated further when emotions for the other hustler in the strict hierarchy come to the surface and he breaks one of the many rules within the house. 
    Including paranormal elements and unexpected magic, this queer erotic romance series begins in the fall season at the House of Otter then twists and turns through the seasons. Expect: jockstraps and hairy men, Daddy and Boy dynamics, bondage, sadomachochism, harnesses, dominance, fetish gear, nipple play, mystical prophecies, destiny, and whispered words with the power to open the door to forbidden fantasies. In the end, Alexander must decide how much of his body and sexual freedom he is willing to surrender in exchange for a life of opulent luxury. 
    It’s Edgar Allan Poe but with a queer, kinky, and paranormal twist!
