Beschreibung

“Written Laws” explores the historical transition from customary law to codified legal systems and their lasting impact on civilization. The book examines how these written codes, like Hammurabi’s Code, provided a more predictable framework for governance, fostering economic development and social stability. Intriguingly, the codification of laws offered a means to protect individual rights, although these rights were often limited by modern standards. The book contextualizes each legal system within its historical, social, and political background, highlighting the rise of centralized states and the evolution of writing. Chapters delve into specific examples such as ancient Egyptian law, the laws of the Hebrew Bible, and the Twelve Tables of Rome. The analysis considers the content of the laws, their societal context, and enforcement mechanisms. The book demonstrates how these early legal codes have influenced subsequent legal traditions, including civil law and common law systems, shaping our very understanding of justice.

    Pierre Tallet's discovery of the Red Sea Scrolls—the world's oldest surviving written documents—in 2013 was one of the most remarkable moments in the history of Egyptology. These papyri, written some 4,600 years ago, and combined with Mark Lehner's research, changed what we thought we knew about the building of the Great Pyramid at Giza. 
     
     
     
    Here, for the first time, the world-renowned Egyptologists Tallet and Lehner give us the definitive account of this astounding discovery. The translation of the papyri reveals how the stones of the Great Pyramid ended up in Giza. Combined with Lehner's excavations of the harbor at the pyramid construction site the Red Sea Papyri have greatly advanced our understanding of how the ancient Egyptians were able to build monuments that survive to this day.

    "I was tired of feeling this way. I was tired of everything, and I just wanted it to end . . . What would happen if I lit the entire place on fire? What if I just stayed perfectly still and did nothing?"Kicking ASSpergers is the triumphant memoir of one man's journey with autism and his quest for happiness and self empowerment despite the many challenges life throws at him. Detailing his struggles with acute anxiety, depression, OCD, psychosis, suicidal ideation, as well as social stigma and medical bias, Jeremy Tolmie moves through his childhood, from the moment he was adopted by loving parents, through brutal school years being bullied and teased, and into adulthood, where he attempts to hold down a job, attend college, and live semi independently. Over time, Jeremy starts to alienate the people in his life with his erratic and dangerous behaviour, and finds himself in and out of various living situations, including psych wards. When he meets Dave Ray, a home share provider, Jeremy starts to learn how to "trust the process" and how not to let autism rule his life.Written with humour, honesty, and compassion, Kicking ASSperger's breaks down stigma and dismantles myths and assumptions about autism. This unique voice tells an inspirational story of friendship, trust, and perseverance in the face of adversity.

    Written by Richard James, Chess for Schools: From simple strategy games to clubs and competitions is a great resource to help teachers encourage children to enjoy the benefits and challenges of the chess game
    Chess is a game of extraordinary excitement and beauty and all children should have the opportunity to experience it. Indeed, many claim that playing abstract strategy games such as chess provides a wide range of cognitive and social benefits- such as improvements in problem-solving ability and communication skills.
    However, Richard James argues that, because of the complexity of chess, most younger children would gain more benefit from simpler chess-based strategy games and incremental learning. In this practical handbook, Richard provides a wide range of games and puzzles based on these principles which are appropriate for primary schools and explains how teachers can identify children who would benefit from starting young.
    Richard also sets out how this approach can engage the whole community, including working with children with special needs, getting parents involved in learning and playing, and developing partnerships between primary and secondary schools.
    Chess for Schools shares the latest research into how children process information, combined with insights into international best practice in teaching chess to young children. The book demonstrates the transformative effect chess can have on older children, and how this can be promoted in secondary schools. Richard James offers valuable insights into the greater context of chess-playing, expressing how and why chess is a joy to so many worldwide andshares a series of resources and minigames for teachers to use with their learners.
    An ideal resource for primary and secondary school teachers wanting to introduce their pupils to chess.

    Does truth exist? What is truth? How can truth be known?  
    Through observation and reason, many aspects of truth can be known. These kinds of truths form the bedrock on which true faith and knowledge can be built. Consider for yourself whether or not you agree that the “truths” discussed in this book are “self-evident”! 
    This book is divided into three parts: 
    Part 1: Some Self-Evident Truths. 
    Part 2: Faith and Science. 
    Part 3: God Revealed. 
    Part 1 focuses on self-evident truths which are important in understanding matters of faith as well as life in general. 
    Part 2 deals with the tension between faith and science, and how the two can be understood so that they don’t conflict with each other. 
    Part 3 presents how some aspects of God’s character are self-evident from what God has made, and how we can learn from other people about God. 
    Come and explore truth!

    Why are aliens so widespread in ancient tradition, mythology, religion and even now in our modern age? 
     
    The truth can be found within the mind and it’s connection to another plain of existence. We can see this 'dark' side of the mind and alien connection because many of the methods used by ancient man to access his own internal world. This internal world may in fact be connection to the multiverse and other realms of existence. 
     
    Sometimes with the use of drugs and sometimes with other methods such as meditation or prayer we can access this other dimension. Sometimes the bodies own hormone drug cabinet will open up a pathway for us to wander freely. 
     
    There are always two sides to every tale and so we have to walk a pathway between these world's of order and chaos. This pathway is multi-levelled. It is the hypnagogic - the point between waking and sleeping. This state of being enables us to be aware of the unconscious world. Within this realm man can see and experience what Carl Jung termed archetypes - things we all see. What is becoming clear today is that these archetypes, witnessed across time by mankind, are in reality true connections to other dimensions. 
     
    This is the tale of those connections. The moments in humanity when we have come face to face with what we call, aliens. And these aliens have more than influenced our history, they have created it.
