  Breeding charts more than two thousand years of ideas about the nature of sex and heredity. From the speculations of the ancient, medieval and early modern worlds to the birth of genetics in the modern age, John Waller examines how we came to solve one of the greatest of enigmas: why offspring tend to look like their parents.  But this book goes further than telling a story of scientific advance. It also explores the social and political realities which often determined how people used the concept of heredity. It reveals how, from Plato's Republic to the modern IQ and race debate, the notion that some qualities of body and mind are inborn has been used to justify the supremacy of social elites and the racist ideologies of those who have profited from slavery and colonial expansion. This is a history of scientific developments, ideological inventions, and how the two have changed one another.

  David Wark Griffith (January 22, 1875 - July 23, 1948), best known for directing the 1915 film "The Birth of a Nation," is considered one of the most influential figures in the history of the motion picture, pioneering many aspects of film editing and expanding the art of the narrative film. In 1919, together with Charlie Chaplin, Mary Pickford, and Douglas Fairbanks, Griffith founded the movie studio United Artists, with the goal of enabling actors and directors to make films on their own terms as opposed to the terms of commercial studios. In this 1930 recording, actor Walter Huston and director DW Griffith discuss Griffith's film "The Birth of a Nation."

  Chile's Economic Journey - From...

  Chile’s economic history is a complex tale of growth, struggle, and transformation, reflecting the broader trajectory of Latin America. From its colonial roots to its modern-day status as one of South America’s most stable economies, Chile has undergone significant changes, shaped by internal dynamics and global forces. This chapter provides an overview of Chile’s economic evolution, emphasizing the historical context that has influenced its development. 
  The story begins with the Spanish colonization of Chile in the 16th century. During the colonial period, the economy was primarily centered around the extraction of natural resources, particularly silver and gold, though these industries were not as developed as in other parts of Latin America. Instead, Chile’s economic foundation rested on agriculture, particularly the production of crops such as wheat and the raising of livestock. The Spanish settlers also introduced a feudal landholding system, which entrenched social hierarchies that persisted long after independence. 
  Chile's path to independence in the early 19th century marked the beginning of its economic transition. As the country sought to build its identity and self-sufficiency, early economic policies focused on fostering local industries. However, the nation faced significant challenges, including political instability, internal conflicts, and a lack of infrastructure. These early years were marked by attempts to diversify the economy, but Chile's reliance on agriculture, particularly wheat exports, continued to dominate.

  AMERICA AT WAR & THE GEMINI...

  A warning grounded in history—and the cosmic rhythms that shape it. 
  The Verne Code & The Gemini Trigger, by Jesús Cediel, is a sharp, provocative essay about the crisis unfolding in the United States and its echoes across the world. His central claim is clear: America is entering a historical phase that has, time and again, marked the beginning of revolutions, civil wars, and global realignments. 
  J. Cediel argues that the United States is entering a new historical cycle between 2025 and 2033—a period that mirrors three previous moments of profound upheaval, all of which coincided with a striking astronomical and astrological pattern: the transit of Uranus through Gemini. 
  • the American Revolution (1774–1782) 
  • the Civil War (1858–1866) 
  • and World War II (1941–1949) 
  The Verne Code & The Gemini Trigger uses a compelling narrative style to expose the structural fractures—political, social, economic, and geopolitical—that now threaten to break the United States from within. 
  🔹 How Trump’s reelection could ignite mass resistance and institutional breakdown 
  🔹 How internal conflict could lead to the secession of key states and global destabilization 
  🔹 How China, Russia, and Iran would exploit a divided America 
  🔹 Why this next cycle—2025 to 2033—could be as transformative and violent as those before 
  The Verne Code & The Gemini Trigger is a rigorous historical analysis, backed by the rhythm of past collapses and the cycles of celestial mechanics, written with urgency and clarity. 
  For readers who sense that something is coming—but want to understand the why, the when, and the deeper historical and cosmic patterns behind it.
