Sinopsis

Often overshadowed by narratives of conquest, the Ottoman Empire significantly contributed to scientific knowledge. Ottoman Science reveals these accomplishments, focusing on medicine, engineering, and astronomical studies. Ottoman scholars didn't just receive knowledge; they innovated, building upon Greek, Persian, and Indian traditions. For instance, Ottoman hospitals were advanced for their time, incorporating practices that reflected a deep understanding of medicine.

 
The book challenges Eurocentric views of scientific progress by highlighting the Ottoman Empire's active role in global knowledge exchange. It explores how libraries and observatories fostered innovation. The book progresses through medicine, engineering, and astronomical studies, showcasing the empire's lasting impact. Delving into original manuscripts and architectural plans, this book adopts a formal, academic tone to ensure clarity.

    The history of the tablets translated in the following pages is strange and beyond modern scientists' comprehension. Their age is astounding, dating back 36,000 years B.C. Thoth is an Atlantean Priest-King who established a colony in ancient Egypt after the mother country was sunk. He was the builder of the Great Pyramid of Giza, which has been incorrectly attributed to Cheops. He included his knowledge of ancient wisdom as well as securely hidden records and instruments from ancient Atlantis. 
    From approximately 50,000 B.C. to 36.000 B.C., he ruled the ancient race of Egypt for approximately 16,000 years. The ancient barbarous race among which he and his followers had settled had advanced to a high level of civilization at the time. Thoth was immortal, that is, he had defeated death, passing only when he wished and not through death. His vast knowledge elevated him to the throne of the various Atlantean colonies, including those in South and Central America. 
    When the time came for him to leave Egypt, he built the Great Pyramid over the entrance to the Great Halls of Amenti, placed his records inside, and appointed guards from among the highest of his people to guard his secrets. The descendants of these guards later became the pyramid priests, through whom Thoth was deified as the God of Wisdom, The Recorder, by those living in the age of darkness that followed his death. The halls of Amenti were transformed into the underworld, the Halls of the Gods, where the soul passed after death for judgment. 
    The ego of Thoth passed into the bodies of men in later ages, as described in the tablets. As a result, he incarnated three times, the last time as Hermes, the thrice-born. In this incarnation, he left the Emerald Tablets, a later and far less complete exposition of the ancient mysteries.

    Imagine that you are deep behind enemy lines. Your plane was shot down or perhaps you have just escaped from a prisoner of war camp. The enemy is hunting you, seeking to throw you behind barbed wire for the duration of the war. What will you do? Do you have a plan, and the skills, to make it to friendly territory? 
     
     
     
    During World War II, the Germans and Japanese held over 306,000 British and 105,000 U.S. service members as prisoners. The number of successful evaders and escapers, both U.S. and British, exceeded 35,000. Many of these were aircrew, who received intense training because of the high risk that they would have to evade or escape. This book will relate how they fared in enemy hands or managed to remain free. 
     
     
     
    This book provides a complete overview of U.S. and British escape and evasion during World War II. It tells the story of the escape and evasion organizations, the Resistance-operated lines, and the dangers faced by the escapers and the evaders in a logical and compelling narrative. Heroism, betrayal, sacrifice, and cowardice are all elements of this fascinating part of the rich tapestry of World War II.

    Introverts have long been misunderstood in a world that favors extroversion. Often seen as shy, antisocial, or even cold, they are frequently pressured to conform to society’s expectation of constant interaction and social engagement. However, introversion is far more complex than simply being quiet. It is a deeply ingrained personality trait that affects how individuals process thoughts, emotions, and experiences. While introverts possess many strengths, they also face unique challenges that are often overlooked. This book aims to explore the lesser-known struggles of introverts, shedding light on the psychological complexities that shape their lives. 
      
    One of the biggest misconceptions about introverts is that they dislike people. In reality, introverts are highly selective about their social interactions, often preferring deep, meaningful connections over surface-level conversations. Their energy is drained by excessive socialization, making them more inclined toward solitude and introspection. However, this need for alone time can sometimes lead to feelings of loneliness and isolation, especially in a world that values constant networking and outgoing personalities. The very traits that make introverts thoughtful and introspective can also cause them to struggle with overthinking, self-doubt, and emotional exhaustion. 
      
    Despite their quiet nature, introverts experience a vast range of emotions, many of which remain unspoken. They tend to internalize their struggles, making it difficult for others to recognize when they are overwhelmed or in distress. This internalization can lead to anxiety, depression, and self-imposed isolation. Additionally, introverts often feel the pressure to adapt to extroverted norms, forcing themselves into uncomfortable social situations or pretending to be more outgoing than they truly are.

    In Left for Dead, Eric Jay Dolin—“one of today’s finest writers about ships and the  
    sea” (American Heritage)—tells the true story of a wild and fateful encounter  
    between an American sealing vessel, a shipwrecked British brig, and a British  
    warship in the Falkland archipelago during the War of 1812. 
    Fraught with misunderstandings and mistrust, the incident left three British sailors  
    and two Americans, including the captain of the sealer, Charles H. Barnard,  
    abandoned in the barren, windswept, and inhospitable Falklands for a year and a  
    half. With deft narrative skill and unequaled knowledge of the very pith of the  
    seafaring life, Dolin describes in vivid and harrowing detail the increasingly  
    desperate existence of the castaways during their eighteen-month ordeal—an alltoo-common fate in the Great Age of Sail. 
    A tale of intriguing complexity, with surprising twists and turns throughout— 
    involving greed, lying, bullying, a hostile takeover, stellar leadership, ingenuity,  
    severe privation, endurance, banishment, the great value of a dog, the birth of a  
    baby, a perilous thousand-mile open-ocean journey in a seventeen-foot boat, an  
    improbable rescue mission, and legal battles over a dubious and disgraceful  
    wartime prize—Left for Dead shows individuals in wartime under great duress  
    acting both nobly and atrociously, and offers a unique perspective on a pivotal era  
    in American maritime history. 
    “An absorbing adventure that explores the dark shadows of instinct and self-preservation, and the hardships and stress that stretch the bonds of humanity.  
    Fascinating reading.”—Stephen R. Bown, author of Island of the Blue Foxes:  
    Disaster and Triumph on the World’s Greatest Scientific Expedition
