  Souls Who Meet Each Other

  When we speak of Souls meeting, we refer to that particular interconnectedness that binds two or more souls with one purpose in life: that of meeting and evolving together along the path of spiritual evolution. The Twin Souls are stimulated and helped in the path of spiritual growth, one comes to the rescue of the other, precisely because in the first place, they have so many goals to achieve in their life together, create their existence as a couple, as a family and as people who will give a good example to their friends and to all those around them. We live in the Age of Awareness and everything that happens, has its own reason of being, nothing belongs to chance; therefore, our reunions, our meetings, also belong to this. For example, the question many people ask is, "Why do Soul Mates exist?". Surely the Twin Souls are not an invention of who knows who, but they are actually a reality concerning Being, understood as a spiritual being of course. We can define our soul as "complete", but we are on this planet, life after life, with certain characteristics that affect the person, so the affinity that fits between the Twin Souls helps them in their relationship. But not only does affinity become part of these two people, there must also be a common reality about everything that concerns them and what follows. A meeting between Twin Souls is that moment in which an individual becomes aware that the known person is an important and fundamental part of his existence. Then, there is "chemistry" between two people and in the chapter we will explain this chemistry in what it consists, how it is born and what it creates between two souls that meet. Physical attraction only? You will read it. I will also bring to your knowledge "The Mental love", a kind of love that is born as an attraction between two souls who respect each other, working together in their relationship. Knowledge of the soul amalgamated with many aspects that will be alive for life. Something very different from the "Soul mates", who attract, feel, for eternity. Here is a real and mutual love lived during this life.

  Orchid Hunters

  The pinnacle of orchid hunting activity was in the nineteenth century when prices for individual plants reached astonishing levels. Such were the profits to be made that many of the most active orchid hunters were directly employed by orchid nurseries in Britain and Europe. These were not the aristocratic administrators of empire; they were trained gardeners and horticulturalists who had a yearning to travel and see for themselves where the plants they nurtured had come from. In this book we explore the activities of these orchid hunters through the years, from the eighteenth century right into the twenty-first century, when the camera replaced the axe and spade. Many of these stories are rarely told in the context of the society that demanded ever bigger and more flamboyant orchids. Some were collected and the sites they had come from forgotten. Some were so valuable that the sites were kept secret, or misleading information given about their origin, even the wrong country being suggested for some. Orchid hunting was not always safe and some collectors never came home. Of those that did return, contemporary documents suggest that some of the stories they came back with enhanced the value of their plants, but were not always entirely accurate in their details. Using original documents as source material, for the first time tales of orchids lost and found, as well as those that sought them, are told in their entirety.

  What we learn when an anthropologist and a historian talk about food. 
   
   
    
  From the origins of agriculture to contemporary debates over culinary authenticity, Ways of Eating introduces listeners to world food history and food anthropology. Through engaging stories and historical deep dives, Benjamin A. Wurgaft and Merry I. White offer new ways to understand food in relation to its natural and cultural histories and the social rules that shape our meals. 
   
   
    
  Wurgaft and White use vivid storytelling to bring food practices to life, weaving stories of Panamanian coffee growers, medieval women beer makers, and Japanese knife forgers. From the Venetian spice trade to the Columbian Exchange, from Roman garum to Vietnamese nuoc cham, Ways of Eating provides an absorbing account of world food history and anthropology. Migration, politics, and the dynamics of group identity all shape what we eat, and we can learn to trace these social forces from the plate to the kitchen, the factory, and the field.
