Synopsis

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

The Kingdom of Dahomey, a West African Kingdom which lasted for more than three hundred years, takes us into the heart of darkest Africa. It's the land of voodoo and rituals, cannibalism, mighty kings, cruelty, and beauty. It's a fascinating story that many of us have never heard.

The Fon people established the kingdom of Dahomey based on the conquest and enslavement of their neighbors. Many of the eight million enslaved people who were taken from African shores in the dark years of slave trading came through the Atlantic ports controlled by the Kingdom of Dahomey. Their fearsome band of woman warriors, called Amazons by the Europeans, conducted a reign of terror to meet the demands of a market that traded in human flesh. The story of the Kingdom of Dahomey is not for the faint-hearted.

Can Thought Bring Order? -...

Jiddu Krishnamurti

Can thought bring order? - 18 July 1974 
• Are thoughts, feelings, reactions and relationships merely mechanical? Is there 
any other movement? 
• Where there is a cause there is time and so living becomes relative. 
• Is my relationship with another based on opinions, memories, demands and 
sexual appetites? 
• Is there a way of living which has no cause? 
• Do I actually see disorder or only its description? 
• Is it only when the ‘me’ is non-existent that I am related? 
• What takes place when the mind has order and a sense of total relationship? • Can the mind be free of the word to look and discover its disorder? 
Questions from the audience followed the talk."

Hyperfocus: The Hidden Driver of...

EUROPEAN INSTITUTE FOR BINAURAL...

This audiobook helps to be more productive in a world of distraction.WHAT YOU GET:A powerful resource to get stuff done, become more creative, and live a meaningful life.Our attention has never been as overwhelmed as it is today. Many of us recognize that our brains struggle to multitask. Despite this, we feel compelled to do so anyway while we fill each moment of our lives to the brim with mindless distraction. This audiobook provides tools how you can best take charge of your attention to achieve a greater sense of purpose and productivity throughout the day. The most recent neuroscientific research reveals that our brain has two powerful modes that can be unlocked when we use our attention effectively: a focused mode (hyperfocus), which is the foundation for being highly productive, and a creative mode (scatterfocus), which enables us to connect ideas in novel ways. This unique audiobook helps you access each of the two mental modes so you can concentrate more deeply, think more clearly, and work and live more deliberately every day.Use the power of sound and improve your focus like never before. Several scientific studies have shown that certain sounds can put our brains into a highly relaxed and creative state using audio resonance. Here is a simple example: When you strike a tuning fork and then place another one next to it, the second tuning fork automatically begins to vibrate at exactly the same frequency. That's exactly what happens with BRAIN ENTRAINMENT, based on the principle of audio resonance. We stimulate our brainwaves with a low fundamental frequency - for better results when creating, focusing, studying and learning.Ready to move yourself in the right direction? Listen to the frequency based binaural soundscapes right now, and benefit from this system of creating your focus - and finding success. HEADPHONES HIGHLY RECOMMENDED FOR BEST RESULTS!
