    When most people think of “ancient American civilizations,” the Aztec, Maya, or Inca cultures probably come to mind immediately, because the societies in Mesoamerica have left behind permanent structures for millions of visitors from around the world to see each year. At the same time, however, from about 1000-1500 CE, an equally complex culture formed along the banks of the Mississippi, Missouri, and Ohio Rivers. From Red Wing, Minnesota to Greenhouse, Louisiana, and from Spiro, Oklahoma to Macon, Georgia, societies built impressive mound structures that served as ritual platforms, burial sites, and residences for the elites. These mounds also served as the focal points of urban areas of varying sizes that were connected to each other through trade and ideology, forming a culture that modern historians have since designated the “Mississippian culture.”  
    	It has only been recently that modern archaeological, anthropological, and historical methods were utilized to create a somewhat accurate image of the Mississippian culture’s reach and importance in the wider contexts of American and world history. Today, historians have a much better understanding of many aspects of Mississippian culture, including its chronology, the religion of the people, urbanization, and how the people lived, and the fact that there were fully functioning complex societies that had sophisticated forms of government and long-distance trade networks. 	The mounds they made, which continue to serve as standing testaments to their extraordinary accomplishments, continue to be studied by experts who still have plenty of questions about the societies that produced them. But one thing’s for sure: with no evidence of a written language and a high probability that the groups spoke different languages (based on the earliest lingual patterns encountered from each region), what the Mississippian culture accomplished in the span of a few centuries is nothing short of phenomenal.

    This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.   
    What if reality is not objects in empty space, but a living architecture built from reflection, information and infinite possibility? 
    Between Light and Infinity offers a revolution in perspective. It proposes that everything in existence - from particles and planets to life and consciousness emerges from an underlying network of spherical reflections. Light is constantly absorbed, reshaped, and re-emitted by matter, water, air and even the atoms within us. This endless circulation of information creates a cosmic mirror system in which nothing is isolated and every interaction matters. 
    Drawing from modern physics, cosmology, systems theory, and the introspective depth of lived experience, this book presents a unified understanding of how the universe evolves, learns, and organises itself across all scales. Instead of approaching a “theory of everything” through equations alone, it approaches it through patterns - the universal feedback loops that generate structure, complexity, and consciousness. 
    You will discover: 
    • How light acts as the connective tissue of reality 
    • How information forms the hidden architecture beneath matter 
    • How life and mind emerge from cosmic reflection 
    • Why the universe continually evolves toward complexity 
    • How consciousness fits naturally into the fabric of existence 
    • And why you are an active reflector in this infinite system 
    Both expansive and deeply personal, Between Light and Infinity invites the reader to step into a new relationship with reality - one in which every moment is part of an infinite conversation between energy, matter, and awareness. It is a book for seekers, thinkers, scientists, creators and anyone who has ever felt that the universe is both mysterious and meaningful. 
    This is not merely a theory - it’s a new way of seeing everything.

    A rich and engaging guide to psychology, the science devoted to understanding human nature 
     
     
      
    What really drives our decisions? Where do language and memory come from? Why do our minds sometimes seem to work against us? Psychologists have long attempted to answer these questions, seeking to understand human behavior, feelings, and thoughts. But how to explore something so elusive? 
     
     
      
    In this fascinating history, leading expert Nicky Hayes tells the story of psychology across the centuries and around the world. Hayes introduces key thinkers, including Carl Jung, Anna Freud, Frantz Fanon, and Daniel Kahneman. We see how they tried to expand our understanding, from Pavlov and his dogs to Milgram and his famous electric shock experiments to the CIA's secret mind-control projects. Hayes explores key concepts like child development, the inferiority complex, and PTSD and shows how psychological research has been used for both good and ill. 
     
     
      
    This Little History shines a light on the ever-advancing study of psychology, how the field has evolved over time—and how much more we need to learn.
