In 'Jay's Treaty,' the intricate diplomatic and political negotiations underlying the 1794 agreement between the United States and Great Britain are examined with scholarly precision. Delving into the content of the treaty itself, the book illuminates the treaty's impact on international relations and trade in a time fraught with conflict.

John Jay, an esteemed statesman, and jurist, offers a perspective in this work that is underpinned by his direct involvement in the formation of American foreign policy. Given his instrumental role in the nascent country's diplomacy, his insights into the treaty's creation and the controversy it sparked are particularly poignant.

FLYING SAUCERS - A Modern Myth...

C. G. Jung

Brought to you by Altrusian Grace Media and narrated by Matthew Schmitz. Jung's primary concern in Flying Saucers is not with the reality or unreality of UFOs but with their psychic aspect. Rather than speculate about their possible nature and extraterrestrial origin as alleged spacecraft, he asks what it may signify that these phenomena, whether real or imagined, are seen in such numbers just at a time when humankind is menaced as never before in history. The UFOs represent, in Jung's phrase, "a modern myth."

Inca Empire The: An Enthralling...

Billy Wellman

Did you know that the Incas worshiped the mummies of their emperors?
For the Incas, death didn’t exist; it simply took the dead to a different plane of life. So, the mummies of their emperors were treated as people; they were given food and drink and even visited each other ceremoniously. They also owned country estates, which generated enough profits to keep them in the style to which they were accustomed.
This might sound like a curiosity, but this form of ancestor worship was central to the Inca culture and to the history of the Inca Empire, which stretched from Ecuador and Colombia in the north to Chile in the south.
Everyone has seen pictures of one of the Incas’ greatest achievements: the mountain-top wonder of Machu Picchu. But Inca history has always been told by the Spanish colonizers who conquered them since the Inca had no formal writing. Now, archaeology is giving us more information on how the Inca really lived, helping us differentiate real history from myth and propaganda.
In this audiobook, you will discover how the Inca created an expansive empire in just a century and why that civilization crumbled so fast once the Spanish arrived.
You’ll also discover the following:How the Inca civilization developed out of a number of preceding cultures in the Andes and Peruvian coast;How quickly the Incas were able to expand and why they needed to;How the empire was administered and how runners were able to take messages from one end of it to the other with remarkable speed;The amazing Inca infrastructure program, which included building roads through mountain ranges and across raging rivers;Why Inca cuisine included tasty guinea pigs and llama jerky;And so much more!

The Shocking Truth about Medical...

Zoey Fraisers

Medical innovation has long been a driving force behind longer life expectancy, improved quality of life, and the eradication of once-deadly diseases. From antibiotics and vaccines to robotic surgery and gene editing, the rapid advancement of medical technology has saved countless lives. Yet, behind every breakthrough lies a complex web of ethical dilemmas, financial motivations, and unforeseen consequences. While many medical innovations deliver on their promise, others have caused more harm than good, raising critical questions about the true cost of progress.
History has shown that not all medical advancements are as beneficial as they seem at first glance. Some treatments that were once hailed as revolutionary later proved to be disastrous. For example, the introduction of thalidomide in the late 1950s as a treatment for morning sickness led to severe birth defects in thousands of newborns. Likewise, the opioid crisis, fueled by the aggressive marketing of painkillers as “safe and non-addictive,” has devastated millions of lives worldwide. These examples highlight the darker side of medical innovation—where rushed approvals, corporate interests, and inadequate regulation can turn hopeful breakthroughs into public health disasters.
At the heart of this issue is the tension between progress and safety. In the race to bring new treatments and technologies to market, are we sacrificing patient well-being in favor of speed and profit? The pharmaceutical industry, medical device manufacturers, and even hospitals often prioritize financial gain over patient outcomes. Meanwhile, regulatory agencies such as the FDA and the World Health Organization struggle to keep up with the sheer volume of new developments, sometimes failing to catch risks before they reach the public.
