  Urban Legends - Exploring the...

  This book contains the following titles: 
  - A City Within One Building: The origins of this vision can be traced to the pressures of urbanization and the relentless march of technological innovation. As cities expanded horizontally, they encountered spatial limitations, environmental challenges, and infrastructural strain. The solution lay not outward, but upward. Vertical urbanism emerged as a response to these challenges, combining architectural ingenuity with a commitment to sustainability. The result is a new typology of buildings that integrate residential, commercial, recreational, and even cultural spaces into a cohesive, self-contained ecosystem. 
  - Culinary Jailbreak: In the depths of confinement, where the walls are more than just bricks and mortar but a constant reminder of lost opportunities, an unexpected force emerged: food. This story is not just about escape in the traditional sense, but about breaking free from the psychological and emotional prisons that can often be more suffocating than physical ones. It is a testament to the unyielding human spirit, its capacity for creativity and resilience even in the most stifling of conditions. 
  Incarceration is a test of endurance. Every day is marked by repetition, isolation, and the stripping away of autonomy. It’s easy to feel like hope is a distant dream, slipping further away with each passing hour. But in the midst of despair, something remarkable happened—a plan was forged in the most unlikely of places: the prison kitchen. It was here, in a space designed to merely nourish the body, that a group of individuals came to realize the power of food as a vehicle for something greater: freedom.

  Twelve Days - How the Union...

  • 0

  In the popular literature of the Civil War, the days immediately after the surrender at Fort Sumter are overshadowed by the battles and changes in American life. 
   
   
   
  Tony Silber's account starts on April 14, 1861, with President Lincoln's call for seventy-five thousand militia troops. Washington, a Southern slaveholding city, was the focal point. The capital was barely defended, by about two thousand local militia troops of dubious training and loyalty. In Charleston, the Confederates had an organized army that was larger and ready to fight. 
   
   
   
  Maryland's eastern sections were reeling in insurrection, and within days Virginia would secede. For half of the twelve days after Fort Sumter, Washington was severed from the North. The United States had a tiny standing army. The federal government's only defense would be state militias. 
   
   
   
  A Confederate success in capturing Washington would have changed the course of the Civil War. Instead, Lincoln emerged as the master of his cabinet, a communications genius, and a strategic giant. Twelve Days alternates between the four main scenes: Washington, insurrectionist Maryland, the advance of Northern troops, and the Confederate planning and military movements.

  From the dawn of mankind there have been secret societies. Groups of men and women coming together to gain and maintain power for themselves. As populations grew so too did the power and the need to be extremely creative in methods of control. 
   
  Over the centuries there have been a few elite brotherhoods that have developed incredibly subtle and complex ways to manipulate the people. They have invented religions and mysteries; they have seeded revolution and started wars. Literature, plays, fables, movies, games, belief systems and the internet are all weapons in their growing armoury. 
   
  In this book we will explain how these secret societies manipulate mankind. We will delve into the psychology they use to control the way we buy, vote and believe. Everything we do and think is created for us. Even if we believe we are free. And all of this began many thousands of years ago when they created the religions of the globe. The exact same processes used to entice people to believe are now used to manipulate us. But more than that, we will reveal the people behind the creation of Christianity, Islam and more and the hidden secrets that they guard to this day. From Jesus to Buddha, from Muhammad to Zoroaster, the patterns are the same because they were all created by the same elite group. 
   
  They have made history and rewritten it. They hide in plain sight. We have worshipped them from afar. They are our gods, leaders, priests and revolutionaries. They are the secret societies of the globe and this is their story.
