  The origins of ancient Egyptian civilization can be traced back to the unification of Upper and Lower Egypt around 3100 BCE. This pivotal event, credited to the legendary Pharaoh Narmer (also known as Menes), set the stage for one of the most enduring and influential cultures in human history. The unification marked the beginning of the Early Dynastic Period, a time when Egypt's first pharaohs established the framework for the country’s political, religious, and social systems. 
  The Early Dynastic Period laid the foundation for the powerful centralized government that would come to define Egypt. The kings of this era solidified their authority by consolidating control over both the Upper and Lower Nile Valleys, establishing cities and building monumental architecture, such as the earliest royal tombs. This period was characterized by the development of hieroglyphic writing, which enabled the preservation of royal decrees, religious texts, and monumental inscriptions. 
  As Egypt's civilization evolved, it entered the Old Kingdom period, often referred to as the "Age of the Pyramids." During this time, Egypt reached its peak in terms of architectural achievements, most notably the construction of the Great Pyramids at Giza. The Old Kingdom saw the consolidation of the pharaohs’ divine status as intermediaries between the gods and the people. The power of the pharaohs was reinforced by their role in overseeing monumental construction projects and religious rituals that were believed to sustain cosmic order.

  In Feeding a Divided America, third-generation Montana rancher and international agriculture development specialist Gilles Stockton explores the causes of what he refers to as the "rural-urban divide" and how this widening chasm between rural America and urban centers threatens our democracy. Indeed, it determines the structure of our society, including the physical and political landscapes in which we live. Stockton shows how big banks, international food conglomerates, urban expectations, and US farm policy have all furthered the demise of small towns across America. 
   
   
   
  These essays provide a clear portrait of national food issues surrounding market competition, US trade policy, wildlife controversies, climate change, supply-chain disruptions, and US farm policy, topics that transcend all geopolitical boundaries. Stockton stands firm with American farmers and ranchers, offering potential remedies to these issues in the face of concerns over livelihood, the future of American food systems, and the future of our planet. Stockton's essays are timely, and they challenge American urbanites and rural folk alike to find ways for all of us to coexist in a changing environment. Whether we eat may depend on it.

  FROM SCARCITY TO ABUNDANCE 
  WHAT IF your limiting believes disappeared overnight? 
  WHAT IF there was no "victim syndrome' to hide behind? 
  WHAT IF you realize you are enough and deserving? 
  WHAT IF living life to the full potential was your only option? 
  WHAT IF you you assume one hundred percent ownership of your resources and your life? 
  With the tools provided in this book, you will feel empowered to take action and begin to write your own success story. 
  This book is written for those aspiring entrepreneurs chained to their "comfort zone" and tormented with self-imposed limiting believes. 
  This book is written through the eyes of a young girl as she witnesses her mother overcome poverty, physical abuse, scarcity of essential resources, and societal suppression. Based on true stories which took place over two decades, starting in the 1980s between Mexico City and the province of Mexico. The young girl was the fourth generation and destined to continue the cycle of scarcity. Through the mentorship, continued encouragement, and support received through her mother and grandmother, she escaped to a mindset of abundance. 
  The survivalist skills she developed and the life principles passed on from generation to generation are the only tools she inherits to break the chains that keep most people in similar situations tied to their "comfort zone." Now, as an adult, the young girl's lenses of innocence are removed. She abstracts the principles that helped her go from scarcity to abundance and shares them here to empower the readers to do the same. She calls them the Mastermind principles: the grouped principles of resilience, tenacity, accountability, visualization, and self-imposed responsibility. The author invites you to follow these principles to break away from any chains that keep you from living a life of abundance and holistic wealth. 
  ~Wealth is a state of mind. Maricela S.

  What does it truly mean to be "immoral"? Is it a flaw to be conquered, or an intrinsic part of our humanity? In this bold and expansive work, A.A. Castor embarks on a sweeping investigation into the roots of our so-called forbidden impulses. Drawing on vivid historical accounts, cutting-edge psychology, and illuminating insights from the animal kingdom, Castor unravels the stories behind behaviors that societies have labeled as taboo or deviant. From ancient rituals to modern counterculture movements, from primal instincts honed by evolution to the ever-shifting moral boundaries shaped by media and technology, this book offers a comprehensive portrait of how "immorality" has both challenged and enriched our collective journey. 
  Through thoughtful analysis and engaging narrative, readers are invited to confront their own assumptions about right and wrong. Rather than condemning our darkest desires, Castor demonstrates how risk-taking, rebellion, and raw self-expression can foster innovation and self-discovery. By weaving together perspectives from philosophy, social science, and personal reflection, We Desire to Be Immoral ultimately urges a more nuanced understanding of human nature—one that embraces our imperfections, values empathy and connection, and dares us to celebrate the liberating power of authenticity. Whether you're intrigued by the hidden forces behind social norms or seeking a deeper appreciation for the complexities of the human spirit, this book is an invitation to step beyond the ordinary and revel in the full spectrum of who we are.
