Sinopsis

Welcome to ”Mosquitoes – Man’s Ancient Enemies,” an exploration into the intricate world of these tiny yet notorious insects that have plagued humanity for centuries. As an interested party for many years, I am delighted to guide you through the fascinating journey of understanding mosquitoes, their biology, behaviour, and the significant impact they have had on human history.
From the buzzing annoyance of their presence to the deadly diseases they transmit, mosquitoes have left an indelible mark on our lives. This booklet delves into the evolutionary adaptations that have made mosquitoes such efficient vectors of diseases like malaria, dengue fever, Zika virus, and more. We will uncover their life cycles, feeding habits, and the factors that contribute to their thriving populations.
Throughout history, societies have grappled with the challenges posed by mosquitoes, leading to innovations in pest control, public health, and scientific research. We will explore how mosquito-borne diseases have shaped human societies and influenced cultural practices around the world.
Join me as we delve into the world of mosquitoes, unravelling the mysteries behind their resilience, their ecological role, and the ongoing efforts to mitigate their impact on human health and well-being.
Despite their negative side, mosquitoes feed many millions of fish, which in turn are eaten by human populations almost the whole world over.PUBLISHER: TEKTIME

    Highland American Empires: Kingdoms in the Clouds (3 in 1) explores the rise, achievements, and legacies of three remarkable civilizations that flourished in the rugged highlands of South America: Tiwanaku, the Wari Empire, and the Tairona Civilization. These cultures adapted to extreme altitudes, developing sophisticated cities, engineering feats, and complex societies that influenced later Andean and Mesoamerican civilizations.   
    Journey into the world of Tiwanaku, a spiritual and political center near Lake Titicaca, known for its massive stone structures, intricate carvings, and advanced understanding of agriculture and irrigation. Its influence spread across the Andean region, shaping cultural and religious traditions that endured for centuries.   
    Discover the Wari Empire, one of the first true imperial powers of the Andes, which established extensive road networks, administrative centers, and urban planning techniques that prefigured the later Inca civilization. Their mastery of terraced farming and state organization allowed them to dominate the region for hundreds of years.   
    Uncover the Tairona Civilization, a lesser-known yet sophisticated society that thrived in the mountainous regions of present-day Colombia. Renowned for their breathtaking gold craftsmanship, elaborate stone cities, and harmonious integration with the surrounding environment, the Tairona left a legacy that still resonates among their modern descendants, the Kogi people.   
    From sacred temples to vast road systems, these highland empires demonstrated remarkable resilience and ingenuity. This book is perfect for history enthusiasts seeking to explore the hidden civilizations that once ruled the mountain landscapes of the Americas.

    Max Beckmann, Otto Dix, George Grosz, Emil Nolde, E.L. Kirchner, Paul Klee, Franz Marc as well as the Austrians Oskar Kokoschka and Egon Schiele were among the generation of highly individual artists who contributed to the vivid and often controversial new movement in early 20th-century Germany and Austria: Expressionism. This publication introduces these artists and their work. The author, art historian Ashley Bassie, explains how Expressionist art led the way to a new, intense, evocative treatment of psychological, emotional and social themes of the early 20th-century. The book examines the developments of Expressionism and its key works, highlighting the often intensely subjective imagery and the aspirations and conflicts from which it emerged while focusing precisely on the artists of the movement.
