Sinopsis

History Encounters unearths the greatest stories with the major events from Minoan Civilization to expand reader horizons for readers to be best informed.

Who were the Minoans? This ancient Bronze Age civilization has left historians and archaeologists puzzled. While other Bronze Age civilizations follow a typical pattern, the Minoans were such an advanced culture that some experts believed that they could be the lost tribe of Atlantis, which was a mystical city described by Plato and, apparently, populated by half gods/half men.

And why did Minoan culture disappear in the space of a few hundred years? Was it a volcano? Deforestation? Invasion by a greater force? The answers must be painstakingly found from the dust in archaeological sites, and the results are fascinating. 

Learning about history will keep you perceptive and make sure to not repeat mistakes that others made in the past. The different stories in this series will show the readers that history should not just be seen from one perspective, but from the different eyes of the groups of people involved. You never know, you might finally understand their choices, their actions and their reactions.

In this historical series, you will discover:

	The history of different countries and cultures
	The inner workings of major historical turning points in different countries.
	Different perspectives of major events in history
	The reasons behind different wars or battles throughout history


These historical series are for anyone who wants to learn fun, exciting and influential facts of what happened years before their time. Do you want to learn history through a multitude of different eyes?

    Highland American Empires: Kingdoms in the Clouds (3 in 1) explores the rise, achievements, and legacies of three remarkable civilizations that flourished in the rugged highlands of South America: Tiwanaku, the Wari Empire, and the Tairona Civilization. These cultures adapted to extreme altitudes, developing sophisticated cities, engineering feats, and complex societies that influenced later Andean and Mesoamerican civilizations.   
    Journey into the world of Tiwanaku, a spiritual and political center near Lake Titicaca, known for its massive stone structures, intricate carvings, and advanced understanding of agriculture and irrigation. Its influence spread across the Andean region, shaping cultural and religious traditions that endured for centuries.   
    Discover the Wari Empire, one of the first true imperial powers of the Andes, which established extensive road networks, administrative centers, and urban planning techniques that prefigured the later Inca civilization. Their mastery of terraced farming and state organization allowed them to dominate the region for hundreds of years.   
    Uncover the Tairona Civilization, a lesser-known yet sophisticated society that thrived in the mountainous regions of present-day Colombia. Renowned for their breathtaking gold craftsmanship, elaborate stone cities, and harmonious integration with the surrounding environment, the Tairona left a legacy that still resonates among their modern descendants, the Kogi people.   
    From sacred temples to vast road systems, these highland empires demonstrated remarkable resilience and ingenuity. This book is perfect for history enthusiasts seeking to explore the hidden civilizations that once ruled the mountain landscapes of the Americas.

    Food is more than just nutrition. Its preparation, presentation and consumption is a multifold communicative practice which includes the meal's design and its whole field of experience. How is food represented in cookbooks, product packaging or in paintings? How is dining semantically charged? How is the sensuality of eating treated in different cultural contexts? In order to acknowledge the material and media-related aspects of eating as a cultural praxis, experts from media studies, art history, literary studies, philosophy, experimental psychology, anthropology, food studies, cultural studies and design studies share their specific approaches.

    Probably you have read of the great successes of certain men who have made such wonderful and astounding names in the history of the world. Such men, whether they consciously or unconsciously knew the secret of their powers and successes, made themselves famous by unfolding their super-conscious minds. 
    Now the super-conscious mind contains all the secrets of occult and magnetic power. Napoleon, who was a master of the super-conscious state, used to obtain practically eight hours rest in fifteen minutes by looking intently at a dark spot on the walls of his room. 
    Now this super-conscious state is called by the Hindus "samadhi" or super-consciousness. I will give you the principal secrets of this state and how to enter into it so that you may develop psychic power. There are many methods to do this with, but they are not practical and most of them are so mystical that the majority of sensible people would be foolish to think even of doing them for they are dangerous. I think that the so-called trance states should be left alone, especially with the beginner. 
    Every night for at least a week, just before you retire, or better just before you fall asleep, give to yourself this suggestion: "I will unfold super-consciously." Now, in a few days you will find that you are actually thinking and acting super-consciously; this is the secret of Napoleon's power. 
    This exercise that I am going to give you will enable you to go into the super-conscious state, but you will have to practice and practice to do it. For if you do not you will merely hypnotize yourself. 
    There are what might be termed three bodies in man: First, the conscious, then the thinking body, and then the causal body. If you succeed--and you should do so--in entering into this causal body, you may levitate your body, accomplish materialization, and also astral body travelling and projection.
