Sinopse

"Historic Firsts" explores the groundbreaking inventions and discoveries that have shaped human civilization, examining their profound impact on society and culture. These "firsts" represent the building blocks of our modern world, with innovations like the printing press revolutionizing information dissemination and the steam engine transforming transportation. 

 
The book emphasizes understanding these breakthroughs within their historical context, considering the political climates, social norms, and existing technologies of the time. The book argues that these innovations are interconnected, creating a network of cause and effect that has reshaped human societies in both predictable and unpredictable ways. By tracing these connections and understanding their cumulative impact, readers gain a deeper appreciation for human progress.

 
The book progresses by first defining major innovation criteria, then explores areas such as early tools and agriculture, the development of writing, and the scientific revolution, culminating in an examination of these historic firsts' impact on modern society.

 
This book adopts a tone that is both informative and engaging, making complex scientific and historical concepts accessible to a broad audience. By examining the social impact of technological advancements, readers gain a heightened appreciation for what it means to be human and our relationship with the world around us.

    Yes or No? 
    Have you ever been stuck in the past? Running around and around only to find that you are right where you were in the beginning? 
    Have you ever fought so hard to break free only to be dragged back in? Ever felt like you couldn't be loved? Couldn't be cherished? 
    Have you ever hurt so much to the point where you were bleeding and crying, but numb at the same time? 
    That you were worthless and nothing, but refused to give up? 
    Did you answer yes? 
    Then come find the way out with Ashton, a renowned neurosurgeon, who was kidnapped, raped, beaten, and forced to kill. Only to find she couldn't escape. Until she fell in love with an angel. 
    Demons—the most dangerous creatures, and Angels—the purest of all beings. For Ashton Lure, a renowned neurosurgeon, these beings only existed in mythological stories. Or so she thought... And, when she found herself in the Demon Realm, she could only wonder, can I truly be free from him? 
    The demons weren't all bad, and the angels weren’t all pure, and somehow, they became a family—something Ashton had missed all her life. But just when she thought she could live without her painful nightmares, the dark past she tried to hide got in the way, threatening to leave her in ruins yet again.

    Words from Servant C. D. Bennett 
    "...if knowledge is one of the main keys to success, and wisdom gives us the ability to apply that knowledge, then this book IS the tool that will give your marriage the best opportunity to last a lifetime." ...Are you looking for a manuscript on marriage? Then look no further, The Apostasy of Marriage offers a potpourri of information about our innate nature on how we are wired, what makes us tick, and how & why we respond the way we do, different types and levels of love, what, why, & how each gender nurtures and feeds from the other, and much much more! 
    How does anyone know if their marriage is truly beyond saving? 
    Marriage is a blessed union, one that most people enter into with the most faithful and loving intentions. However, with the current rate of divorce hovering at around 40 percent, it’s clear that many couples experience significant levels of dissatisfaction and unhappiness with their spouse at some point during their marriage, to the point where ending the marriage becomes a viable option for one or both parties. If your marriage has reached this level of unhappiness, The Apostasy of Marriage is the turning point you’ve been looking for. 
     Designed as a resource and guide for men and women alike, Pastor Bennett’s reflections and summations will help you understand the critical questions and address issues that plague many marriages:  
    ·	What principles did God establish for marriage? 
    ·	What are the boundaries of marriage, and how does crossing these boundaries impact my relationship with my spouse? 
    ·	What are some of the common abuses that occur during a marriage, and can the damage from these abuses be repaired? 
    ·	The danger of “Stacking Chips” in your marriage 
    Even though the light of your marriage under God may have greatly dimmed, The Apostasy of Marriage is the beacon that can help renew your commitment and shared love with your spouse, restoring both hope and healing into your troubled relationship.

    Viola MacMillan had it all: success, money, and respect. Influence, even. But in 1964, after three decades in the mining industry, one of the most fascinating women in Canadian business history was the central character in one of the country's most famous stock scandals. 
     
     
     
    MacMillan, who started out as a prospector in the '30s, had developed lucrative mines and put together big deals. But she still wanted "a major discovery." Early in July 1964, shares in Windfall Oil and Mines, a company she and her husband controlled, traded for around 56 cents. Then one day, the stock took off. In the absence of any information from the company about what it had found near Timmins on its claims, rumors and greed pushed the share price to a high of $5.70. MacMillan stayed quiet. Finally, after three weeks, Windfall admitted it had nothing. 
     
     
     
    So many small investors lost money when the stock crashed that the Ontario government appointed a royal commission to examine what had happened, which led to changes at the Ontario Securities Commission and the Toronto Stock Exchange. Although MacMillan spent a few weeks in prison, she later received a pardon and the Order of Canada.
