  Punic Wars - Events and...

  The Punic Wars were a series of three major conflicts fought between the Roman Republic and the ancient city-state of Carthage from 264 BC to 146 BC. These wars were pivotal in shaping the balance of power in the ancient Mediterranean, ultimately resulting in the complete destruction of Carthage and the rise of Rome as the dominant power in the region. 
  The first war, known as the First Punic War, began in 264 BC, centered around the strategic island of Sicily. According to the Greek historian Polybius, it was “the longest and most bitterly waged battle in history.” The conflict ignited when Rome’s growing imperial ambitions clashed with Carthage’s established control over the island. Carthage, a formidable maritime power with a vast network of colonies across the western Mediterranean, saw Sicily as vital to its prosperity. Rome, a land-based power with a strong army but a comparatively weak navy, sought to challenge Carthage’s dominance at sea. Over the course of the war, naval engagements dominated, and the conflict resulted in significant losses for both sides. Despite initial setbacks, Rome ultimately prevailed after 23 years of intense fighting, inflicting severe losses on the Carthaginian fleet and forcing Carthage to pay massive reparations. The island of Sicily became Rome’s first province, marking a significant step in the Republic’s expansion. The end of the First Punic War also saw the outbreak of the Mercenary War within Carthage’s borders, a revolt by Carthaginian soldiers who had not been paid, further weakening the empire.

  A Brilliant Commodity - Diamonds...

  During the late nineteenth century, tens of thousands of diggers, prospectors, merchants, and dealers extracted and shipped over 50 million carats of diamonds from South Africa to London. The primary supplier to the world, South Africa's diamond fields became one of the formative sites of modern capitalist production. At each stage of the diamond's route through the British empire and beyond—from Cape Town to London, from Amsterdam to New York City—carbon gems were primarily mined, processed, appraised, and sold by Jews. 
   
   
   
  In A Brilliant Commodity, historian Saskia Coenen Snyder traces how once-peripheral Jewish populations became the central architects of a new, global exchange of diamonds. Centuries of restrictions had limited Jews to trade and finance, businesses that often heavily relied on internal networks. Jews were well-positioned to become key players in the earliest stage of the diamond trade and its growth into a global industry. Relying on mercantile and familial ties across continents, Jews created a highly successful commodity chain that included buyers, brokers, cutters, factory owners, financiers, and retailers. 
   
   
   
  Working within a diasporic ethnic community that bridged city and countryside, metropole and colony, Jews helped build a flourishing diamond industry and a place for themselves in the modern world.

  Bridging Spirit and Science -...

  Martin K. Ettington

  Spirit and Science are viewed as opposing views. I have lived my life in the middle of this divide. Trained as an engineer and scientist, I was taught to trust logic, mathematics, and experimental proof.  
  Yet my personal experiences — from moments of prophecy to direct awareness of subtle energies — convinced me that there is more to reality than conventional science admits.  
  For years I tried to keep the two worlds separate: the rational and the mystical. But over time, the boundary dissolved. I realized that both perspectives describe the same universe from different vantage points.  
  My work, and this book in particular, is about restoring the unity that once existed between them. 
  The purpose of this book is not to replace science with mysticism, nor to reduce spiritual experience to chemistry or neurology. Rather, it aims to show that consciousness, energy, and matter are aspects of a single integrated system.
