A History of the World in 6 Glasses $11.99 From beer to Coca-Cola, the six drinks that have helped shape human history Throughout human history, certain drinks have done much more than just quench thirst. As Tom Standage relates with authority and charm, six of them have had a surprisingly pervasive influence on the course of history, becoming the defining drink during a pivotal historical period. A History of the World in 6 Glasses tells the story of humanity from the Stone Age to the 21st century through the lens of beer, wine, spirits, coffee, tea, and cola. Beer was first made in the Fertile Crescent and by 3000 B.C.E. was so important to Mesopotamia and Egypt that it was used to pay wages. In ancient Greece wine became the main export of her vast seaborne trade, helping spread Greek culture abroad. Spirits such as brandy and rum fueled the Age of Exploration, fortifying seamen on long voyages and oiling the pernicious slave trade. Although coffee originated in the Arab world, it stoked revolutionary thought in Europe during the Age of Reason, when coffeehouses became centers of intellectual exchange. And hundreds of years after the Chinese began drinking tea, it became especially popular in Britain, with far-reaching effects on British foreign policy. Finally, though carbonated drinks were invented in 18th-century Europe they became a 20th-century phenomenon, and Coca-Cola in particular is the leading symbol of globalization.For Tom Standage, each drink is a kind of technology, a catalyst for advancing culture by which he demonstrates the intricate interplay of different civilizations. You may never look at your favorite drink the same way again. |

Excerpt: Apitherapy is the medical use of honey bee products. This can include the use of honey , pollen , propolis , royal jelly , and bee venom .Most claims of apitherapy have not been proved to the scientific standards of evidence-based medicine and are anecdotal in nature. A wide variety of conditions and diseases have been suggested by believers in the therapy as candidates for it, the most well-known being bee venom therapy for autoimmune diseases and multiple sclerosis .History The exact origins of apitherapy are difficult to pinpoint and can be traced back, in a general sense, to ancient Egypt, Greece and China. Use of honey and other bee products can be traced back thousands of years and healing properties are included in many religious texts including the Veda , Bible and Quran . These are mostly attributed to nutritional benefits of consumption of bee-products and not use of bee venom.The more modern study of apitherapy, specifically bee |

On the first of January I commenced my journey up the Nile. My boat was small, for greater convenience in rowing and towing. She was, however, about forty feet long, with two fine latteen sails, and manned by eight men, a rais or captain, and a governor or pilot. This was to be my home from Cairo to the Cataracts, or as long as I remained on the riVer. There was not a place where a traveller could sleep, and I could not expect to eat a meal or pass a night except on board ; consequently, I was obliged to provide myself at Cairo with all things necessary for the whole voyage. My outfit was not very extravagant. It consisted, as near as I can recollect, of two tin cups, two pairs of knives and forks, four plates, coffee, tea, sugar, rice, mac- caroni, and a few dozen of claret. My bedroom-furniture consisted of a mattress and coverlet, which in the daytime were tucked up so as to make a divan. Over the head of my bed were my gun and pistols, and at the foot was a little swinging shelf, containing my Library, which consisted of the Modern Traveller on Egypt, Volney’s Travels, and an Italian grammar and dictionary.

Scrying the Secrets of the Future: How to Use Crystal Balls, Water, Fire, Wax, Mirrors, Shadows, and Spirit Guides to Reveal Your Destiny $16.99 Scrying means seeing magical images in a reflective medium, such as a crystal ball, mirror, or natural source of inspiration like fire, water or clouds. The word “scry,” derived from the Anglo-Saxon word descry, means to “perceive dimly.”Scrying in shiny surfaces has been practiced in almost every culture and time, not only by mystics, clairvoyants and magicians, but also by every girl who has gazed into a mirror and hoped to see her lover’s face in the glass.Though it is one of the most ancient ways of predicting the future, scrying is as relevant today as when our distant ancestors gazed into pools by moonlight to locate the herds – it does not conflict with modern scientific knowledge or psychology.Scrying the Secrets of the Future offers practical, hands-on guidance to using a wide variety of methods from many cultures and ages-from Ancient Egypt, the Aztecs and Mayans, and Classical Greece and Rome to Medieval European magicians, village wise women and 21st century coffee-shop divination. Discussion of each method includes its history and cultural background, traditional practices, and how to adapt these techniques to the needs of the modern world and everyday decision making. This unique book will help you:Learn to see and interpret images in many forms, including wax, herbs and oils on water, crystal balls and candles, shadows and dark mirrors. Explore additional techniques of clairaudience, psychic hearing and clairsentience, and psychic impressions, to make your scrying multi dimensional.Discover how to prepare yourself psychically, find the best scrying tools, empower them, ensure you are protectedspiritually as you work, and how to close down your psychic energies after divination.Find out how to maximize future possibilities, avoid potential problems, and advise others privately and professionally through clairvoyanceCommunicate with and channel angels and spirit |

The World of Caffeine $32.95 Caffeine is the world’s most popular drug! Almost all of us start our day with a jolt of caffeine from coffee, tea or cola. And many of us crave chocolate when we’re stressed or depressed. Without it we’re lethargic, head-achy and miserable. Why? Why do we crave caffeine? How much do we really know about our number one drug of choice?Here is the first natural, cultural, and artistic history of our favorite mood enhancer–how it was discovered, its early uses, and the unexpected parts it has played in medicine, religion, painting, poetry, learning, and love. Weinberg and Bealer tell an intriguing story of a remarkable substance that has figured prominently in the exchanges of trade and intelligence among nations and whose most common sources, coffee, tea, and chocolate, have been both promoted as productive of health and creativity and banned as corrupters of the body and mind or subverters of social order. Some Highlights From the World of Caffeine Balzac’s addiction to caffeine drove him to eat coffee, as some schizophrenic patients are observed to do today, and may have killed him Mary Tuke breaks the male monopoly on tea in England in 1725 The ways caffeine functions as a “smart pill” Goethe’s responsibility for the discovery of caffeine Did a mini Ice Age help bring coffee, tea and chocolate to popularity in Europe? What is the mystery of coffee’s origin? As good as gold: the stories of how caffeine, in its various forms, was used as cash in China, Africa, Central America and Egypt What does the civet cat have to do with the most costly coffee on earth today? The World of Caffeine is a captivating tale of art and society — from India to Balzac to cybercafes — and the ultimate caffeine resource. |

Experiencing Bazaars On All Inclusive Holidays In Egypt
Whether you are interested in simple souvenirs or the finest Egyptian cotton you have become accustomed to during your all inclusive holidays in Egypt, you’ll find it in the bazaars.
Dating back to the 14th century, the Khan el Khalili souk is one of Cairo’s main tourist attractions. This bazaar is one of the oldest in the world, famous for its medieval atmosphere and sells an amazing array of goods from handmade items to unusual holiday souvenirs. Whether it is gold, silver, copper, perfume, spices or cloth that you want, you’ll certainly find it here. If all the shopping and haggling has worn you out too, there are several coffeehouses and food vendors serving Arabic coffee, shisha and more to provide you with some much-needed refreshment.
Egypt’s most famous bazaar is the Souk El Tawfiqia, which is a definite must-see during your holidays in Egypt. At over 4,000 metres in size and located between Soliman Basha Street and Ramses Square, this souk is famous for selling a massive range of fruit and vegetables, both imported and local, throughout the year. An ideal place to sample locally grown figs and dates, it has extensive open hours and is open throughout the year.
If you fancy buying some luxurious Egyptian cotton, which is probably the finest in the world, go to the Wekalet al-Belah fabric market where there are many bargains to be had. The whole neighbourhood here is dedicated to selling a range of household linens, so you’re literally spoilt for choice. For the country’s most beautiful embroidered cotton and silk you can also travel west of Cairo to Kerdasa. However, if you fancy buying a hand-made Egyptian carpet, visit the souks in Haraneya.
An unusual tourist attraction is the camel bazaar which is held every Friday in Cairo, where hundreds of camels from places like Libya, Somalia, Aswan and the Sudan are sold. This market, on the edge of the Western desert and 35 kilometres from Cairo is quite a change from the bustle of Cairo city and the luxury of your all inclusive Egypt holidays.
The best time of the year for holidays to Egypt
Holidaying in Egypt can be one of the most rewarding adventures for any holidaymaker. You can soak up the sun, experience countless underwater treasures, visit Ancient Egyptian sites or bask in the unique culture.
The most popular time of the year to visit Egypt is from October to May. The reason for this is that the temperatures in the most popular of resort areas along the coast average a pleasant 18°C, with lows of 13°C and highs of 22°C. This makes it a comfortable time to visit compared to the summer when temperatures can reach a stifling 40°C. For holidaymakers wishing to make a trip to the capital, Cairo, and some of the Ancient Egyptian heritage sites in and around Luxor, May to October is also the best time of the year to visit to avoid the stifling North African heat, so you can do your site seeing in relative comfort.
If you visit Egypt during this time of the year you will need to remember that these months represent the peak time for holidays to Egypt, so you should always ensure to book to avoid disappointment. This also means that many of the stunning Ancient Egyptian attractions in the country may be extremely busy during this time of year. If you feel you can handle the heat in summer you may thus be able to view some of the sites in relative tranquillity far from the big crowds. Just imagine being able to wander around these monuments in relative harmony and the possibility of taking a clear photograph of the stunning landmarks.
Travellers to Egypt should be aware of travelling to the country during the month of Ramadan. One of the biggest reasons that holidaymakers may be put off visiting Egypt during this time is that alcohol is not available, especially during the daytime, with many of the tourist attractions operating on reduced hours and a high proportion of the restaurants and street vendors closed for business. However, if you want to enjoy a unique insight into the culture of the country visiting during this month-long festival may be the ideal experience for you. You can enjoy the all night coffee shops bursting at the seams with local people at a time when the entire country never sleeps.
