Hammurabi

Publisher: DigiCat

Summary

The Code of Hammurabi is a foundational text of ancient Mesopotamian law, inscribed on a basalt stele around 1754 BCE, which offers a comprehensive overview of social, economic, and legal norms of Babylon. Utilizing a concise and direct literary style, Hammurabi's edicts are organized into a series of clear, prescriptive laws, often categorized by subjects such as property rights, family relations, and trade regulations. This work not only reflects the values and priorities of its time but also serves as a crucial historical document, illuminating the complexities of ancient civilization and the evolution of legal thought in the Near East. Hammurabi, the sixth king of the First Babylonian Dynasty, governed with a vision of unifying his diverse empire under a codified legal framework. Influenced by earlier Sumerian laws and his own experiences as a ruler, Hammurabi's dedication to justice and order is evident in the principles embedded in his code. His holistic approach to governance highlights the balance he sought to establish between authority and fairness, which shaped the future of legal systems across civilizations. Readers interested in the intersection of law, ethics, and history will find The Code of Hammurabi to be an essential text that invites exploration into the roots of modern legal systems. This work is invaluable for scholars, students, and anyone curious about the origins of societal structures and the significance of codified law in shaping human society.

Peace As A Science - Towards A...

Michelle Lightworker

What if peace isn’t a moral ideal…
but a measurable state of stability?
Peace As A Science reframes peace from aspiration to architecture — not as passivity or the absence of conflict, but as the stabilisation of complexity.
Drawing on neuroscience, systems theory, biology, physics, and lived human experience, this book explores a radical but grounded idea:
Peace behaves like a coherent field.
It can be observed in regulated nervous systems, traced in feedback loops and probability, strengthened through applied principles, and scaled — from the body to relationships, from culture to governance.
Through a peace lens, we reframe mental health as adaptive intelligence under rupture, neurodivergence as configuration, and justice as restorative rather than revenge — extending from identity through to education, healthcare, media, technology, and war. We move from inner experience to large-scale systems, asking how stability forms, how it breaks, and offering practical tools to repair and build peace.
It is rigorous, practical, occasionally funny, and deeply human.
Peace is dimensional and we explore how time travel might not require a machine, but awareness - because peaceful choices shift probability and alter trajectory. And yes, pop culture is part of the laboratory - because sometimes Yoda explains regulation better than a textbook.
Because if peace has structure, it can be studied.
If it can be studied, it can be practiced.
And if it can be practiced, it can be built.

Inquisition The: A Captivating...

Captivating History

The paranoia and recriminations that have been unleashed by religious inquisitions are quite extraordinary.  
This audiobook explores the Inquisition in depth, leaving no stone unturned to find the root of what drove these religious persecutions.  
Most people know about the Spanish Inquisition, but there were other inquisitions, such as those carried out by the Romans and the Portuguese. What was it that motivated these diehard religious zealots to squash all contrary views from their midst?  
It is rather easy to paint one side as the “good guys” and the other as the “bad guys.” But unless we are a bunch of kids playing cops and robbers, this is an overly simplistic, narrow-minded, and lazy interpretation of what is a very complex history. In this audiobook, we explore all the dark nooks and crannies of what sparked massive inquiries into the faith of others and rampant persecution of religious beliefs. 
In this captivating audiobook, you will discover the following:The root causes of the Inquisition;The real motivations behind the persecution;The harsh torture methods used to extract confessions;The estimated toll the Inquisition took on people’s lives;How the Inquisition ended;Its impact and legacy;And much more!
