  Ely Samuel Parker: The Life and...

  Despite their own cultural differences, the nations that comprised the Iroquois Confederacy established their political dominance across much of America’s East Coast and Midwest through conquest, and it is that aspect which has perhaps best endured among Americans in terms of the Iroquois’ legacy. European settlers who came into contact with the Mohawks in the Northeast certainly learned to respect their combat skills, to the point that there were literally bounties on the Mohawks’ heads, with scalps fetching money for colonists who succeeded in slaying them and carrying away the “battle prize”. 
  	One of the best known of the six nations is the Seneca, and arguably the most famous Seneca chief was Ely Samuel Parker. Over the course of his life, he was a Seneca chief, a civil engineer, a close friend and adjutant to General Ulysses S. Grant, an advocate for the Indian peoples, and the first Native American Commissioner of the Department of Indian Affairs. His marriage to a much younger socialite scandalized Washington, and he made a fortune on Wall Street and lost it all. He ended his life in genteel poverty, working for nearly 20 years in an obscure position for the New York City Police Department.  
  Parker was a largely self-taught engineer, who worked on various canal projects, and was hired by the Department of the Treasury to supervise the construction of several buildings in Galena, Illinois, where he met a shy salesclerk named Ulysses S. Grant. At the age of 18, he dined with President Polk, later talked with President Lincoln, and had the commanding general of the U.S. Army as the best man at his wedding. He was the principal source for the first serious ethnological work by one of the first American ethnologists, who dedicated the book to Parker. He was a plaintiff before the U.S. Supreme Court when he was in his teens and was so important in the Seneca’s struggle to retain their Tonawanda reservation that he was made grand sachem.

  Since the first 'Welch' sailor set foot on Japanese shores in the seventeenth century to the present-day presence of high-tech Japanese companies in the Valleys, Wales and Japan are two nations with deeply entwined roots.
  
  Captured in this groundbreaking book is a chorus of modern-day Welsh migrants to Japan. There is Catharine who, in 1965, followed her Japanese husband to an 'out of kilter' house in the seaside town of Zushi; Jac, the 'capitalist ski bum', who guides tourists through the bear-infested wilds of snowy Hokkaidō, while on a volcanic island in the Seto Inland Sea, Simon clears jungle vines to develop his vegan farm.
  
  There are also actors, writers, teachers, an ex-bouncer turned martial artist, a filmmaker, a games localiser, and many more. There are even Japanese fans who promote Welsh culture in their homeland. Together they form a polyphonic group portrait based on oral-history techniques, mixing travel writing, character study and reportage, while proving an ear for natural speech.
  
  Fresh, engaging, with a strong sense of space and place, but above all, a knack for crafting a life story, this volume of documentary literature presents universal themes of work, adventure, reinvention and survival. Here are people discovering and negotiating the land, the life and the culture of Japan, and putting down 'transplantable roots'.

  This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.   
  What is consciousness, and why does it matter? Is it a byproduct of the brain, a reflection of the cosmos, or the very fabric of reality itself? Consciousness – Where Did It Come From and Where Is It Going? takes listeners on a profound journey through the mysteries of awareness, exploring both the science and the spirit of mind. 
  From leading theories such as Integrated Information Theory and Global Workspace Theory, to deeper explorations of memory, dreams, the self, and even the quantum question, this audiobook illuminates the many faces of consciousness. It traces the evolution of awareness - from the earliest stirrings of life’s inner eye, to the possibility of a universal consciousness shaping the cosmos. 
  With clarity and depth, the chapters reveal consciousness as both a scientific puzzle and a timeless mystery. Is the self an illusion? Can dreams open gateways to hidden dimensions of mind? What role does the body play in shaping awareness? And most importantly, what might the future of consciousness hold for humanity and beyond? 
  Whether you are fascinated by neuroscience, intrigued by philosophy, or drawn to the spiritual dimensions of mind, this audiobook offers a sweeping exploration of one of the greatest questions of existence: Where did consciousness come from - and where is it going?
