    Ecclesiastes is one of the Ketuvim ("Writings") of the Hebrew Bible and one of the "Wisdom" books of the Christian Old Testament. The title commonly used in English is a Latin transliteration of the Greek translation of the Hebrew word קֹהֶלֶת (Kohelet, Koheleth, Qoheleth or Qohelet). An unnamed author introduces "The words of Kohelet, son of David, king in Jerusalem" (1:1) and does not use his own voice again until the final verses (12:9-14), where he gives his own thoughts and summarises the statements of Kohelet; the main body of the text is ascribed to Kohelet himself.

    Richard I ruled as King of England from 1189 to 1199. He also governed as Duke of Normandy, Aquitaine, and Gascony, Lord of Cyprus, and Count of Poitiers, Anjou, Maine, and Nantes, and also being ruler of Brittany at different periods. He was the 3rd of 5 sons of King Henry II of England and Eleanor of Aquitaine, and he appeared not likely to prosper his dad as king, but all of his brothers had passed away before him, other than the youngest, John.Just because of his track record as a prominent army leader and fighter, Richard is called Richard Cur de Lion (Norman French: Le quor de lion) or Richard the Lionheart. Richard Oc-e-Non (Occitan for Yes and No) was a label given to him by troubadour Bertran de Born, probably simply because of his terseness.Richard had taken management of his own army by the age of 16, putting down disobediences in Poitou against his dad.Richard was a key Christian leader throughout the Third Crusade, commanding the project after Philip II of France's departure and winning substantial successes over Saladin, his Muslim equivalent, while signing a peace treaty and ending the fight without retaking Jerusalem.In this book, we will learn more about his life and his motivations.

    Dreamtime, also known as "The Dreaming," is the foundational concept of Aboriginal culture and spirituality. It is a complex, multifaceted belief system that encompasses creation stories, spiritual teachings, and an understanding of the interconnectedness of all life. Dreamtime is not confined to a particular period in history but is viewed as an ongoing reality, a state of being that transcends time and exists both in the past and in the present. For Aboriginal people, Dreamtime is both a spiritual truth and a living tradition that shapes their worldview, guiding their actions, relationships, and understanding of the natural world. 
    The significance of Dreamtime lies in its ability to explain the origins of the world, the laws governing life, and the connection between humans, animals, plants, and the land. At its core, Dreamtime is a spiritual map, describing the creation of the earth, the formation of natural features, and the roles of various creator beings. These beings, often depicted as animals, deities, or ancestral spirits, shaped the land, created life, and established the laws of existence. Through Dreamtime stories, Aboriginal people understand their place within the larger web of life, their responsibilities toward the environment, and the moral code they follow to maintain balance and harmony.
