  The Shortest History of Migration

  From the Silk Roads to the Berlin Wall, discover the globe-turning history of human migration 
   
   
   
  We are a species in motion—from the first steps of Homo sapiens across Africa to America's "melting pot." And when we move—in search of better things, or against our will—our beliefs and skills clash and combine, reshaping society time and again. 
   
   
   
  In this visionary Shortest History of Migration, Ian Goldin uncovers key moments of cultural exchange while carefully examining empire, slavery, and war. Throughout, we meet famous explorers (Zheng He), exiles (Pablo Neruda), and everyday people in extraordinary circumstances: a Jewish man saved by the Kindertransport, a Japanese gardener who blossomed in Mexico City. 
   
   
   
  Today, freedom of movement is being curtailed, even as climate change and conflict mobilize people everywhere around the world. Goldin reminds us that passports at every border are a modern invention (he traces the "birth of big brother" to World War I), revealing the folly of trying to halt migration—and proposing commonsense policy instead. 
   
   
   
  A gripping chronicle of want and wanderlust, this is a moving portrait of humanity—in every sense of the word.

  The Role of Technology in...

  Technology has played a crucial role in shaping business operations throughout history. From the earliest tools used in trade to the sophisticated digital solutions of today, technological advancements have continually transformed how businesses operate, compete, and innovate. Understanding this evolution provides insight into how businesses can adapt to ongoing technological changes and leverage them for growth and efficiency. 
  In the earliest days of commerce, businesses relied on manual processes, basic tools, and rudimentary systems to conduct trade. The invention of writing and accounting methods, such as the use of clay tablets in Mesopotamia, marked the first major technological leap in business operations. These early records enabled merchants to track transactions and manage resources more effectively. Over time, the development of paper money, banking systems, and mechanical tools further revolutionized trade and commerce, laying the foundation for more complex economic structures. 
  The Industrial Revolution in the 18th and 19th centuries marked another significant turning point in business technology. The introduction of steam engines, mechanized production, and telecommunication systems drastically increased efficiency and productivity. Factories replaced traditional handcrafting methods, allowing mass production and global trade expansion. The telegraph and telephone revolutionized communication, enabling businesses to operate over long distances and conduct transactions more quickly than ever before.

  The energy in our bodies is connected to the unlimited energy of the universe itself. When we are stressed and living with chronic anxiety, our autonomic nervous system (ANS) is usually out of balance, disconnected, and stuck in a 'fight or flight' mode. This can cause a range of long-term physical and mental health problems. 
   
  
  
  The harmonic frequencies in this premium audiobook are specifically designed to calm the autonomic nervous system and put you on a 'rest, relax and repair' mode where the mind can still and the body can begin to heal. This is especially good for alleviating anxiety, overthinking, insomnia, and chronic pain.
   
  
   
  As you listen, allow the pure tones to penetrate deep into your consciousness, facilitating a profound emotional cleansing and spiritual awakening. This audiobook is an invitation to let go of the negative vibrations that hold you back and step into a more mindful and centered version of yourself. Quality headphones are highly recommended for best results. Thanks for listening and your support!

  The Last Supper Club - A...

  During a year on sabbatical from his university position, Matthew Batt realized he needed money—fast—and it just so happened that one of the biggest breweries in the Midwest was launching a restaurant and looking to hire. So it was that the forty-something tenured professor found himself waiting tables at a high-end restaurant situated in a Minneapolis brewery. And loving it. 
   
   
   
  Telling the story of Batt's early work in restaurants, The Last Supper Club then details his experiences at the fine dining restaurant, a job that continued well past his sabbatical. 
   
   
   
  The Last Supper Club reveals the ups and downs of a waiter's workday and offers an insightful perspective on what makes a job good, bad, or great. For Batt, this job turns out to be considerably more fun, and possibly more rewarding, than his academic career, and his insider's view of waiting tables extols the significance of our food and the places where we gather to enjoy it—or serve it. 
   
   
   
  Told with sharp humor, humility, and a keen sense of what matters, The Last Supper Club is an ode to life in a high-pressure restaurant, the relationships that get you to the night's close, and finding yourself through the chaos of it all.
