Sinossi

History Encounters unearths the greatest stories with the major events from Pompeii and Eruption of Mount Vesuvius to expand reader horizons for readers to be best informed.

Mount Vesuvius, on the gulf of Naples in Italy, erupted in 79 AD killing many of the citizens of the town of Pompeii and surrounding towns and burying them under lava and debris.

One thousand, seven hundred years later, archeologists uncovered the perfectly preserved town under the lava layer. This has become one of the greatest archaeological finds, which has since become a massive tourist attraction. The Mountain has erupted many times since, and scientists remain on the alert for its next explosion.

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.

	The history of different countries and cultures
	The inner workings of major historical turning points in different countries.

    Carthage was an ancient city-state located in what is now modern-day Tunisia. Founded by Phoenician settlers in the ninth century BC, Carthage would rise to become one of the most influential and powerful empires of the ancient Mediterranean world, only to be destroyed by the Romans in 146 BC. Despite its destruction, the Romans later lavishly rebuilt it, cementing its place in history. During its peak in the fourth century BC, Carthage was the capital of the Carthaginian Empire, a force that dominated the western Mediterranean with unmatched power and influence. 
    The origins of Carthage can be traced back to around 814 BC, when settlers from Tyre, a prosperous Phoenician city-state in modern Lebanon, arrived on the northern coast of Africa. Following the fall of Phoenicia to the Neo-Assyrian Empire in the seventh century BC, Carthage emerged as an independent entity. Over time, it expanded its influence, securing political and economic control over vast territories across the western Mediterranean. By 300 BC, Carthage controlled a sprawling empire that included the coastal regions of northwest Africa, southern Iberia (modern-day Spain, Portugal, and Gibraltar), and a series of key islands such as Sicily, Sardinia, Corsica, Malta, and the Balearic Islands. This expansion was achieved through a complex network of colonies, vassal states, and satellite territories. 
    Carthage’s strategic location played a significant role in its success. Its access to fertile agricultural lands and critical maritime trade routes allowed the city to thrive economically and become one of the wealthiest and most powerful centers of commerce in the ancient world. Carthage’s trade network extended across the Mediterranean and beyond, reaching as far as West Asia, West Africa, and northern Europe.

    St Kilda: My Island Home -...

    Christina MacDonald MacQueen (1884–1959) was born on St Kilda and grew up there at the close of the 19th century. Yearning for the bright modern world beyond the island, she was the first woman to leave of her own accord in 1909, settling in Glasgow. During the crisis that led to the islands' evacuations in 1929-30, she wrote a series of passionate articles about her childhood and the history of the islands. These writings about St Kilda offer a personal and uniquely female perspective on the island's story and its imminent abandonment.
    This book includes all seventeen of her articles, which tell the full history of the island as she understood it, and sets their publication against the dates of the evacuation. These are complemented by a historical introduction and commentary. Despite extensive literature on the story of St Kilda, Christina's contributions have been largely overlooked by historians, though they offer valuable insights into the island's history and the evacuation's impact. To compliment the articles written by Christina, this volume includes a collection of photographs taken by her husband, Robert Chalmers, in 1930.

    Radionics is the term for machines which manipulate life forces. This is often for healing or increasing psychic perceptions.The Author is an engineer and has many decades of experience with the paranormal and well as time learning and experimenting with radionics devices from the 1970s.While radionics devices are often considered pseudoscience, those opinions don’t take into account the sensitivities of individuals who have incredible paranormal and healing abilities.In my first year of engineering school at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in Troy, New York I met a man who became my mentor in the Paranormal and other things too. This was in 1973.I learned to meditate and how to open my crown chakra to take in vital forces which allowed me to do many things including healing others.In addition I also met another middle aged guy at a Psychic Fair in Saratoga Springs, New York. He was a researcher in the arcane field of Kirlian Photography.In this book the history of radionics is discussed, some of the major influencers on that history, how these devices are used for healing, and even some plans for building radionics devices. My hope is that this book will give you a good grounding in radionics to learn to use it productively for your own efforts.

    I asked my Year 1 class, ‘What’s the best thing that’s ever happened to you?’ 
    George Pointon asks his class a lot of questions. What do you want to be when you grow up? What do you reckon your parents do while you’re at school? Can you put that down, please? JJ, the stapler – can you put it down? 
    He’s also got a few for himself: what is he doing here? Who was he kidding, thinking he could teach? 
    But the course of true professional fulfilment never did run smooth, and there’s no backing out now. 
    In this book, George takes us along on his first year inside the messy, magical world of primary school teaching. In the company of five-year-olds – who are somehow wisdom, innocence and chaos incarnate – there is always lots to be learned. 
    In Teacher Man, George Pointon masterfully combines elements of autobiography and non-fiction to provide a candid look at education and parenting. His essays delve into the complexities of behavioural management and relationships within the school environment, offering a unique perspective on the role of educators. 
    For fans of Lucy Mangan (Bookworm), Sam Leith (The Haunted Wood), and Annie Ernaux (A Woman's Story – WINNER OF THE 2022 NOBEL PRIZE IN LITERATURE).
