Synopsis

Unexpected Historical Twists explores pivotal yet often overlooked moments in World History, challenging conventional understandings of how our world has been shaped. It delves into the intricate web of factors driving change, arguing that history isn't solely determined by grand narratives but by subtle, under-recognized occurrences. For instance, seemingly minor diplomatic blunders have triggered major conflicts, and technological advancements from obscure origins have led to significant societal shifts. By examining these overlooked turning points, the book offers a more accurate and complete understanding of the past.

 
The book progresses by first introducing a framework for analyzing these unexpected twists. It then examines how scientific discoveries, initially dismissed or used for unintended purposes, led to significant societal and technological shifts. Another key area explores cultural exchange and the dissemination of ideas, revealing how the spread—or suppression—of information has altered civilizations. This approach distinguishes the book by offering a counterpoint to traditional historical narratives, making it a valuable resource for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of History and its hidden forces.

    When people think of the British Royal family, and more specifically where they live, the first image that often pops into mind is that of stately Buckingham Palace, with its changing of the guard and the occasional royal coach leaving or entering. Others may think of the royal country estate of Windsor Castle, a favorite of both Britain’s longest-reigning and second longest-reigning monarchs. And there was a time when both royal residences played second fiddle to a much better known home, the elegant Kensington Palace. Buckingham Palace is not different, for though it was originally built as a home of a private citizen, once a king bought it, its future was sealed.  
    	For the French, and those who study their history, Versailles is a symbol of, as Charles Dickens once put it, “the best of times…the worst of times.” It was here that the Sun King, Louis XIV, built a palace worthy of a great nation during a time when peace was, at best, short-lived. It was at Versailles that Russian Tsar Peter the Great studied the palace’s architecture and gardens so that he could recreate them in his home country. Indeed, the greatest minds and artistic geniuses of the later stages of the Renaissance came to Versailles to build and paint, and it was here that Madame de Pompadour and her successor, Madame du Barry, used their wit and beauty to charm a king into doing their bidding. However, as history constantly demonstrates, nothing good lasts forever, and so it was with Versailles.  
    	France, like all European countries, has had its fair share of palaces over time, but none suffered the rise and fall of fortune like the Tuileries. Built by a widow with a flair for architecture, it grew for more than a decade, along with the royal family that it housed. Then, during the French Revolution, it fell from grace with that family and even became a sight of execution, its famous gardens providing the background for the infamous guillotine.

    Are you struggling with your child's ADHD? Are you worried that they will be marginalised or laughed at, at school or with friends, because of their special needs? Do you feel lost when it comes to your child’s ADHD and its related issues and concerns? 
      
      
    Yes, it’s true; all children lose focus and can be hyperactive, especially when they are anxious or excited. 
      
    But when a child is constantly overwhelmed by emotions, memory lapses and inattention in differing contexts, this can undermine both self-esteem and social life. 
     Parents have to do something. 
      
    For parents, it is difficult to accept that their child has been diagnosed with ADHD. They see their child as naturally curious, full of life and intelligent. 
      
    Parenting a child with ADHD brings both joys and challenges. I recommend that you read this book if you recognise these behaviours in your child. 
      
    But let me tell you this: 
    Being an unprepared parent will only make the situation worse. Unnecessary guilt, inevitable frustration and misunderstanding will only make your child feel stupid and a failure. 
    This is absolutely NOT TRUE, and it doesn't have to be this way. 
      
    But do not worry! 
    Children with ADHD can lead perfectly normal lives as long as their parents know how to address their needs early and can thrive with them. 
     Listen to this audiobook now will help you to understand how your baby's brain works. It will be greatly rewarding to see your child improve with friends, at home, at school and in every area of life.The best gift you can give him to guarantee him a prosperous and peaceful life!

    Jung and Active Imagination with...

    James Hillman is the father of Archetypal Psychology. This rare program focuses on Education, Imagination and Myth with James Hillman. 
     
    The emergence of C.G. Jung’s Red Book from years of storage in a Swiss vault has re-kindled interest in active imagination. This method of self-exploration involves actively engaging one’s own imagination in dialogue, through writing, art, or the spoken word. 
     
    In this 2.5 -hour streaming video program, James Hillman —noted author, psychologist, and the first Director of Studies at the Jung Institute in Zurich — introduces the method and delves deeply into the therapeutic value it offers in an increasingly noisy and demanding world. 
     
    Hillman considers the history and theory of active imagination in Jung, its relationship to making art, and offers examples for scrutiny and discussion. He discusses the fear of inviting demons and opening wounds, and addresses the difference between the voices of inner figures and auditory hallucinations. 
     
    The major re-examination of Jung’s original ideas and inspiration doesn’t stop there, though. Hillman goes on to examine the role of imagination in contemporary culture, and whether imagination itself might need re-imagining. 
     
    Hillman’s seminar was taped December 9, 2009, in California.
