Sinopse

Great Wall History explores the evolution of the Great Wall of China, highlighting its transformation from a defensive barrier into a global symbol deeply intertwined with Chinese history and cultural identity. The book challenges the notion of the Wall as a single entity, presenting it instead as a dynamic series of fortifications built across dynasties, adapting to changing military threats and technological advancements. Intriguingly, the Wall's construction involved an immense labor force, impacting China’s social and economic landscape, while its effectiveness varied against different invaders throughout history. 

 
The study progresses chronologically, starting with early earthen ramparts and culminating in the Ming Dynasty's iconic brick and stone structures. It analyzes the Wall's military role, its socio-economic impact, and its symbolic representation in art and culture. Drawing upon archaeological findings, historical chronicles, and military records, the book offers a unique perspective on the Wall as a reflection of China's relationship with the world. 

 
The fact-based approach offers insights into military strategy, wall construction, archaeology, and Chinese culture.

Marijuana Legalization - What...

Mark A.R. Kleiman, Beau Kilmer,...

Should we legalize marijuana? If we legalize, what in particular should be legal? Just possessing marijuana and growing your own? Selling and advertising? If selling becomes legal, who gets to sell? Corporations? Co-ops? The government? What regulations should apply? How high should taxes be? Different forms of legalization could bring very different results. 
 
 
 
This second edition of Marijuana Legalization: What Everyone Needs to Know® discusses what is happening with marijuana policy, describing both the risks and the benefits of using marijuana, without taking sides in the legalization debate. The book details the potential gains and losses from legalization, explores the "middle ground" options between prohibition and commercialized production, and considers the likely impacts of legal marijuana on occasional users, daily users, patients, parents, and employers—and even on drug traffickers.

The Gospel of Peace You will...

Davide Appi

A BOOK DEDICATED TO HOPE Humanity is at a crossroads between self-destruction and change. Are you negative and pessimistic? Do you feel uneasy about the future? Are you unhappy because of your daily problems, not to mention wars, crises and pollution? I will give you many reasons to become positive, peaceful and able to achieve peace beyond imagination! I will take you on a fantastic journey into your own mind, to go beyond it. In fact, the ordinary mind thinks it can change things, but it cannot. That is why we never solve our own problems and those of the planet. But how do we go beyond the mind to generate real change? Meditation is the main tool to change ourselves and the world around us. We can stop wars, we can stop crime, there is no limit to what we can do. The Maharishi effect, which has been scientifically studied many times, shows that with the power of our intention and meditation, we can actually do something in terrible situations, such as armed conflicts, violence, and crime. And if it works for the most extreme cases, this means that even in less tragic situations, such as our daily lives, we have a much greater margin of intervention in events close to us than we are used to believing. A limited number of street lamps are needed to illuminate the streets of an entire city, just as 1% of the population of a city, of a nation, or of the entire planet, who are able to reach a state of deep meditation, are enough to bring light and remove the darkness from consciousness. A small group of awakened people are enough to irradiate and enlighten all other people, who will unconsciously change their way of thinking and acting. Does all this sound like science fiction, too good to be true? Whether you believe you can or believe you can`t, you are still right. Since the Universe is subjective, our way of believing the world, our beliefs, becomes our reality. What we are and what we think spreads and reflects throughout the Universe.
