Beschreibung

This study explores the history of the western seaboard of Scotland (the Hebrides, Argyll and the Isle of Man) in a formative but often neglected era: the central middle ages, from the mightly Somerled to his descendant John MacDonald, the first Lord of the Isles (c. 1336).
Drawing on a variety of sources, this very readable narrative deals with three major and closely interrelated themes: first, the existence of the Isles and coastal mainland as a kingdom from c.1100 to 1266; second, the rulers of the region, Somerled and his descendants, the MacDougalls, MacDonalds and MacRuaris; and third, the often complex relations among the Isles, Scotland, Norway and England. A fully rounded history emerges, which transcends national viewpoints.
While political history predominates, the changing nature of society in the isles is emphasised throughout, and separate chapters address the church and monasticism as well as the monuments – the castles, monasteries, churches and chapels that form an enduring legacy.

    Few topics have as many myths, stereotypes, and misperceptions surrounding them as that of poverty in America. The poor have been badly misunderstood since the beginnings of the country, with the rhetoric only ratcheting up in recent times. Our current era of fake news, alternative facts, and media partisanship has led to a breeding ground for all types of myths and misinformation to gain traction and legitimacy. 
     
     
     
    Poorly Understood is the first book to systematically address and confront many of the most widespread myths pertaining to poverty. Mark Robert Rank, Lawrence M. Eppard, and Heather E. Bullock powerfully demonstrate that the realities of poverty are much different than the myths. The idealized image of American society is one of abundant opportunities, with hard work being rewarded by economic prosperity. But what if this picture is wrong? What if the reasons for poverty are largely beyond the control of individuals? These are much more disturbing realities to consider because they call into question the very core of America's identity. 
     
     
     
    Armed with the latest research, Poorly Understood not only challenges the myths of poverty and inequality, but it explains why these myths continue to exist, providing an innovative blueprint for how the nation can move forward to effectively alleviate American poverty.

    Despite its prevalence, post-traumatic stress, PTSD, is often seen as an unbeatable lifelong mental disorder. Leading trauma doctors and neuroscientists now understand that the result of trauma is not a disorder, but rather a physical injury to the body—invisible but tangible, and most importantly, treatable. 
     
     
     
    Meet Dr. Eugene Lipov. His research and partnerships have led to an amazing discovery that all trauma has at its root a single piece of human hardware: the stellate ganglion. The symptoms of post-traumatic stress are the same for all of us, whether from childhood poverty or abandonment, the ravages of war, or the brutality of sexual assault. Dr. Lipov's pioneering procedure appears to treat injury to the stellate ganglion, relieving even the worst symptoms of PTSD—irritability, hypervigilance, insomnia, and more—in a fifteen-minute treatment. 
     
      
     
    Weaving hard science with moving human stories, The Invisible Machine reveals how this treatment was developed. It also tells the incredible story of the unlikely team, including the doctor, an artist, Special Forces leadership, and a sheriff, who are working together to change our understanding of post-traumatic stress and why it matters to society.

    MANIFESTATION (How Thoughts Become Things!) is unlike any other book by the same name. Right from the jump, EQuin Cadmon peels back the veil of the elite's endless attempts to cover up our true past through resets every 100 years here on Earth. He quickly uncovers the truth behind the Tartarian Empire that reigned here for 1,000s of years and their free energy and unlimited abundance for all. He also goes on to prove to every reader that wanders this way exactly what Earth is; that it's not a globe after all flying through space at 627,000,000 mph in lock step with a burning ball of gas and 8 other planets; but flat and stationary. No other book every written walks you through and reveals our true intentionally buried past as it matters and relates to our power to MANIFEST. EQuin Cadmon ties it all together to bring the reader to the powered restored place to remember and activate their full mind potential to create anything they desire right out of thin air…or Aether. You never fully understood why it mattered that the powered elite have intentionally hidden our true past from us until now. What you'll discover by book’s end is that they needed us dumbed down to control us. They needed us divided in every way so that we wouldn't collectively increase our resonance and power to create heaven right here on Earth. No more! Do yourself a favor and open these pages and read and reread and share everywhere with everyone you love. This book is one for the ages!
