After 16 years of living on Earth and disguising themselves as Baptists, their presence on Earth is discovered by the tyrannical High Queen of their home world.

Tourism and Monarchy in Southeast Asia
Author: Ploysri Porananond
Publisher: Cambridge Scholars Publishing
ISBN: 1443816612
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 266
Book Description
Monarchies around the world play a significant role in tourism development and the tourist experience. Debates about the level of finance required to support monarchies often refer to the positive tourist attraction provided by royal pageantry, palaces, temples and churches, architecture, museum collections, and historical legacies. Up to now, the literature on tourism and monarchy has been primarily devoted to the history and experiences of Western Europe, particularly the United Kingdom. There has been little attention devoted to the relationship between monarchy and tourism development in Southeast Asia, and this is the first collection of essays to address this neglected field of study. The need to shift the focus from European to Asian royalty is important not only to begin to fill gaps in the literature on monarchy and tourism outside Europe, but also to avoid the increasing criticism of tourism studies that its major perspectives, orientations and paradigms have been based on an overly Eurocentric preoccupation. Case studies are taken from Thailand, Laos, Myanmar, Vietnam, Malaysia, Indonesia, Brunei Darussalam and Singapore.

Tyrian Purple
Author: Amelia Khatri
Publisher: Publifye AS
ISBN: 8233933473
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 76
Book Description
""Tyrian Purple"" unravels the fascinating story of one of history's most prized dyes, exploring its historical significance, complex production process, and economic impact. This comprehensive work delves into how a rare pigment extracted from sea snails shaped Mediterranean economies and social hierarchies for over a millennium. The book traces the journey of Tyrian purple from its discovery by the Phoenicians around 1570 BCE to its decline following the fall of Constantinople in 1453 CE. Readers will be intrigued to learn that Tyrian purple was once more valuable than gold, and its production was monopolized by the Roman Empire. The book combines archaeological findings, ancient texts, and modern scientific analyses to provide a multifaceted view of this luxury commodity. It explores the chemistry behind the dye's colorfast properties and examines the Murex species of sea snails from which it was extracted, seamlessly integrating concepts from marine biology and dye chemistry. Structured chronologically, ""Tyrian Purple"" presents a scholarly yet accessible narrative that weaves together historical facts, scientific analysis, and cultural studies. This interdisciplinary approach offers valuable insights into ancient trade networks, technological innovation, and the socioeconomic structures that shaped early civilizations, making it an engaging read for both academics and general audiences interested in the intersection of science and history.
