    Chicago is a world-class city, but it is also a city in crisis. 
     
     
      
    Crime is up, schools have repeatedly shut down due to conflict between City Hall and the powerful teachers' union, and COVID-19 only deepened the entrenched poverty, institutional racism, and endless tug of war between the city's haves and have nots. 
     
     
      
    For four years, the person at the center of this storm was Lori Lightfoot. A groundbreaking figure—the first Black, gay woman to be elected mayor of a major city and only the second female mayor of Chicago—she knew the city was at a critical turning point when she took office in 2019. But the once-in-a-lifetime challenges she ended up facing were beyond anything she or anyone else saw coming. 
     
     
      
    Chicago Tribune reporter Gregory Royal Pratt offers the first comprehensive behind-the-scenes look at the tumultuous single term of Mayor Lightfoot and the chaos that roiled the city and City Hall as she fought to live up to her promises to change the city's culture of corruption and villainy, reform its long-troubled police department, and make Chicago the safest big city in America.

    The Iranian Plateau has an extensive history dating back to 100,000 BCE!  
    Today, Persia is known as the country of Iran, but long ago, Persia was once home to various nomadic tribes. It saw the rise of many empires and dynasties. The Assyrians fell to the Medians, who paved the way for the emergence of the Achaemenid Empire, one of the greatest empires in ancient history. 
    Throughout history, Persia made great contributions to the language and culture of the region. Nomadic movements and changing empires meant it was a hub of continuous cultural exploration and development. The Persians established and spread new ways of government, administration, and currency. The region is also the birthplace of Zoroastrianism and new ways of thinking and art.  
    The rise of the Achaemenid Empire is one of the most influential periods in world history. With Cyrus the Great and Darius I, the empire rose to unrivaled heights, gathering vast wealth and territories. Learn how this great empire declined and the role Alexander the Great played in it. 
    This book offers an enthralling insight into the exciting and often bloody history of ancient Persia and the Persian Empire.  
    In this audio book, you will discover the following: How the Assyrian Empire gave rise to the Medians and then the Achaemenid dynastyThe establishment of the Persian Empire by Cyrus the Great and his many expeditions, which helped build the greatest empire of its timeThe period of Achaemenid rule over Persia, stretching from Cambyses II to Darius III The Achaemenid takeover of Lydia, Egypt, the Indus Valley, Babylonia, and Asia MinorAchaemenid conflicts with Greece, which ultimately led to the empire’s downfall at the hands of Alexander the Great

    The progress of the human race has been haphazard and inefficient with too much left to chance. We have been wasteful with our time, resources, and human effort. We have suffered unnecessarily with pointless wars and with billions still in poverty today. And now, our very existence is threatened by multiple Global Catastrophic Risks – from climate change and nuclear war, to AI and pandemics. But the global ‘order’ of today shows no chance of being able to solve and effectively coordinate the global responses so critically required to ensure the future of humanity. This is not good enough. It is far too soon for us to end. Our future, our potential as a species – we must protect and realise it. 
    This book explores what the human race could achieve with true global cooperation. 
    In this book are the Blueprints for the New World – with the global systems and institutions of the world re-engineered and re-designed to solve the global problems of today. To create the most prosperous Future of the Human Race. It explores the benefits of achieving global demilitarisation, a true global economy centred around Value creation and not consumerism, a new global currency and global language. The ability to effectively respond to global emergencies and threats, accelerating scientific progress through restructuring academia, global infrastructure projects such as a global electricity grid. True global justice crippling evil across the entire world. Reforming the global education system. Long term planning for the benefit of the entire human race. A global space agency to establish our foothold in space as fast as possible. And more. 
    No more should humanity blindly stumble forward into the future. It is time we finally took a firm hold of and controlled the destiny of the human race.
