  Spanish Empire - How One of...

  The marriage of Ferdinand of Aragon and Isabella of Castile in the late 15th century laid the foundation for what would become the Spanish Empire. Their union created a personal alliance between the two powerful kingdoms, forming the basis for modern Spain. This confederation of the Crowns of Castile and Aragon brought together Iberia's economic and military strength under the House of Trastámara, although the two crowns remained legally distinct. The union proved significant because it enabled them to share governance over various regions and kingdoms, particularly in the eastern Mediterranean. 
  Their reign saw major successes, most notably the Christian reconquest of the Muslim Kingdom of Granada, completed in 1492. This victory not only unified the Iberian Peninsula but also earned Ferdinand and Isabella the title of "Catholic Monarchs," a recognition granted by Pope Alexander VI. While Isabella focused on consolidating power in Iberia, Ferdinand directed his attention toward expanding influence abroad, pursuing military campaigns in North Africa, France, and Italy. 
  Despite their achievements, the concept of "Early Modern Spain" as a coherent political entity can be somewhat misleading. The Habsburg monarchy that succeeded Ferdinand and Isabella was a hybrid structure, with no formal name to describe the territories collectively. During the Early Modern period, the term "Spain" often referred to the entire Iberian Peninsula in a geographical rather than a political sense, reflecting a continuation of medieval traditions.

  This title contains 2 books about similar topics, which are the following: 
  1: Your subconscious is a priceless potential repository of information, insight, and wisdom. But the majority of us never use that talent to its fullest. 
  Using hypnosis, you can access your subconscious. You can communicate with it immediately when under hypnosis. This can assist you in obtaining important knowledge and bringing about positive changes in your life. 
  Your subconscious is the area of your mind that generally escapes your awareness yet has a significant impact on how you live. 
  For instance, your subconscious has a role in controlling such essential bodily processes as breathing and heartbeat. 
  When you shake your head unconsciously, look away when lying, or suddenly get an inspiring thought "out of the blue," these are all signs that your subconscious is at work. 
  Additionally, you may not even be aware of the ideas and emotions stored in your subconscious, yet they can have a significant impact on your behavior and general well-being. 
  2: The study of the anatomy and operation of the nervous system and the brain is known as neuroscience. To map the brain mechanistically, neuroscientists draw on cellular and molecular biology, anatomy and physiology, human behavior and cognition, and other fields. 
  Each neuron, or brain cell, in an adult human has an estimated 100 billion connections to other neurons. The mapping of all the cell-to-cell communication networks—the brain circuits that process all ideas, feelings, and behaviors—remains one of the major difficulties of contemporary neuroscience. The resulting image that gradually forms is referred described as "the connectome". All learning is based on the brain's capacity to build new neural circuits and connections, or neuroplasticity".

  This audiobook has been recorded using Text to speech (TTS). 
   
  Aliens have been around since the dawn of time. Mankind has given them many names. Angels, ghosts, demons and more. We look to the skies and wonder, but the truth about aliens visiting planet earth is much more profound. It is so startling and so strange that nobody has thought to look in that particular direction. 
   
  Our ancestors developed ways of contacting these aliens and they called them gods. They were beings of light, shining ones, watchers. They were both good and bad, mirroring humanity. They gave great knowledge and after tens of thousands of years mankind suddenly had the ability to create civilization. We built huge monuments in their name and we recorded our contact with them in fables, myths, legends, folklore and religion. We even created grand myths, such as Atlantis, to explain it. 
   
  They were our gods and we worshipped them and recorded their powers, deeds and lives. These gods of the world were in fact not real gods, whatever that means. They were in fact alien invaders and we were the subjects of their rule. 
   
  This is the true story of the aliens in the ancient world.

  Tyrannosaurus Rex and...

  Editors Charles River

  The massively popular 1990 novel Jurassic Park by Michael Crichton and its subsequent movie adaptations led to a huge resurgence in interest in dinosaurs and the prehistoric world. That interest continues to the present day, even though most of the dinosaurs in Jurassic Park weren’t actually from the Jurassic period. Triceratops, Velociraptor, Tyrannosaurus Rex and the huge sauropods such as Brachiosaurus that feature in the book and movies all actually belong to the Late Cretaceous period, more than 40 million years after the end of the Jurassic. Regardless, certain kinds of dinosaurs remain instantly recognizable, and among them, the “king” is undoubtedly the Tyrannosaurus.  
  The first discovery of a Tyrannosaurus was made in 1902 and the largest carnivorous dinosaur ever found at the time quickly gripped the popular imagination. Even its name was dramatic - Tyrannosaurus Rex means “King of the Tyrant Lizards.” The T-Rex as it quickly became known didn’t appear until the last age of the Late Cretaceous period, the Maastrichtian, but when it did, it was the biggest and most terrifying of all the theropod predators.  
  	Thanks to the movie, there has been some unwitting confusion over the identity of the Velociraptor, and this confusion was due in large part to the fact the name sounds far more scary than the creature to which the name originally belonged. Moreover, the creature to which the label was applied in the novel and movie was actually a distant cousin named Deinonychus, but as the story goes, the author, Michael Crichton, thought “Velociraptor” sounded “more dramatic.” The actual Velociraptor lived not in the badlands of North America, but in the badlands of central-eastern Asia, and it was not nearly as intimidating as Deinonychus. In fact, the main species of genus Velociraptor - Velociraptor mongoliensis - was no bigger than a turkey.
