Synopsis

Aqueduct Systems History explores how ancient civilizations like the Romans, Persians, and Incas ingeniously solved the problem of water scarcity through the construction of elaborate aqueduct systems. These systems were more than mere infrastructure; they were vital to the growth and sustainability of these empires. For example, Roman aqueducts, known for their scale, supported urban sanitation and public health. Persian Qanat systems, on the other hand, prioritized sustainability in arid environments. The book delves into the historical, social, and technological contexts that enabled these engineering feats, highlighting their unique designs and construction methods. It reveals how these ancient technologies laid the foundation for modern water management practices, offering valuable lessons in sustainable engineering and resource management relevant to today's challenges of water scarcity and climate change. Structured with case studies, the book progresses from fundamental hydraulic principles to in-depth analyses of each civilization's approach. By examining archaeological findings, historical texts, and engineering analyses, the book provides a comprehensive understanding of these ancient marvels and their lasting impact on contemporary engineering. It uniquely compares aqueduct systems across cultures, offering insights for students, professionals, and anyone interested in history, technology, or environmental studies.

The Life of Agesilaus

Plutarch, Bernadotte Perrin

To understand the relationship between Athens and Sparta, Plutarch set out to examine the lives of Greece and all its former and current rivals in his Parallel Lives series. Agesilaus was one of those lives and was a notable king of Sparta prior to the Athens-Spartan war. Although he won and lost many battles for the city, his legacy lived on. He was a short-statured, lame man who managed to rule an entire city state – and many looked up to him after his death.

Living with Radical Aliveness

M.D. Richard Moss

In this 2026 interview with Justine Willis Toms, Richard Moss, M.D., recounts his journey from practicing medicine to teaching the art of conscious living. He emphasizes the essential practice of staying calm and grounded amid fear and uncertainty, drawing from his own transformative experiences—including a life-changing moment in the emergency room and a profound encounter symbolized by a black butterfly. Moss introduces “The Mandala Process,” a powerful tool for observing how the mind drifts into the past and future or falls into judgment of self and others. He teaches the principle of focused spaciousness as the gateway to embodied awareness and distinguishes between emotions, which arise from thought, and feelings, which emerge as trustworthy, embodied guides that keep us connected to the living present. Moss illuminates the path toward a more intimate, embodied relationship with oneself and the world. 
Richard Moss is a physician-turned-teacher and internationally respected pioneer in conscious living, inner transformation, and presence-centered spirituality. He has spent decades guiding individuals and groups worldwide to free themselves from limiting beliefs, awaken radical aliveness, and cultivate conscious, evolving relationships as a path of spiritual growth. He is the author of many books including: 
Inside Out Healing: Transforming Your Life Through the Power of Presence (Hay House 2011) 
The Second Miracle: Intimacy, Spirituality, and Conscious Relationships (Celestial Arts 1995)

Trumpocalypse - Restoring...

David Frum

""I don't take responsibility at all."" Those words of Donald Trump at a March 13, 2020, press conference are likely to be history's epitaph on his presidency.
A huge swath of Americans have put their faith in Trump, and Trump only, because they see the rest of the country building a future that doesn’t have a place for them.
If they would risk their lives for Trump in a pandemic, they will certainly risk the stability of American democracy. They brought the Trumpocalypse upon the country, and a post-Trumpocalypse country will have to find a way either to reconcile them to democracy - or to protect democracy from them.
In Trumpocalypse, David Frum looks at what happens when a third of the electorate refuses to abandon Donald Trump, no matter what he does. Those voters aren’t looking for policy wins. They’re seeking cultural revenge.
It is not enough to defeat Donald Trump on election day 2020. Even if Trump peacefully departs office, the trauma he inflicted will distort American and world politics for years to come. Americans must start from where they are, build from what they have, to repair the damage Trump inflicted on the country, to amend the wrongs that, under Trump, they inflicted upon each other.
Americans can do better. David Frum shows how—and inspires all readers of all points of view to believe again in the possibilities of American life. Trumpocalypse is both a warning of danger and a guide to reform that will be read and discussed for years to come.

Dara Shukoh - The Man Who Would...

Avik Chanda, Kalpan Mitra

Dara Shukoh -- the emperor Shah Jahan's favourite son, and heir-apparent to the Mughal throne prior to being defeated by Aurangzib -- has sometimes been portrayed as an effete prince, incompetent in military and administrative matters. But his tolerance towards other faiths, and the myths and anecdotes surrounding him, continue to fuel the popular imagination. Even today, over 350 years after his death, the debate rages on: if this 'good' Mughal had ascended the throne instead of his pugnacious younger brother, how would that have changed the course of Indian history? Dara Shukoh: The Man Who Would Be King brings to life the story of this enigmatic Mughal prince. Rich in historical detail and psychological insight, it brilliantly recreates a bygone age, and presents an empathetic and engaging portrait of the crown prince who was, in many ways, clearly ahead of his times.

Vatican Secret The: UFOs Alien...

ANDRE' HALETIS

THE VATICAN SECRET: Beyond the Labyrinth of Faith 
What if the foundations of your reality were built on a selective truth? 
Beneath the Holy City lies a cognitive bifurcation—a hidden parallel history guarded by 85 kilometers of secret shelving. This investigation pulls back the veil on the most protected knowledge in human history, designed to bridge the gap between what you’ve been told and what is actually being hidden. 
Prepare your mind to process the unthinkable:The Chronovisor: Uncover the reality of a device allegedly designed to capture images of past events, like the crucifixion of Christ, through quantum resonance and the "energetic imprints" of time.The 1933 Verona UFO: Decipher the pre-Roswell crash analyzed in Vatican dungeons before its secret transfer to the United States.The SIV Dossiers: Access reports on "Beings of Light" and extraterrestrial encounters documented by the secretive Vatican Information Service.Forbidden Science: Discover the "Metallic Glass" and gas-sealed cylinders used to preserve artifacts that challenge the periodic table and defy the known laws of physics.The Watchers: Re-examine the Book of Enoch not as a myth, but as a testimony of ancient contacts with advanced civilizations that accelerated human evolution. 
Why the silence? The brain fears what it cannot control. Access to Zero-Point Energy and Antigravity would not just end our dependence on fossil fuels—it would collapse the global economic status quo and force a total redefinition of the human soul. 
The question is no longer whether we are alone. The question is: Are you ready for the revelation that redefines human destiny?
