Lauren Jacobi, "The Architecture of Banking in Renaissance Italy: Constructing the Spaces of Money" English | ISBN: 1108483224 | 2019 | 252 pages | PDF | 6 MB Over the course of the twelfth and thirteenth centuries, European society confronted rapid monetization, a process that has been examined in depth by economic historians. Less well understood is the development of architecture to meet the needs of a burgeoning mercantile economy in the Late Middle Ages and early modern period. In this volume, Lauren Jacobi explores some of the repercussions of early capitalism through a study of the location and types of spaces that were used for banking and minting in Florence and other mercantile centers in Europe. Examining the historical relationships between banks and religious behavior, she also analyzes how urban geographies and architectural forms reveal moral attitudes toward money during the onset of capitalism. Jacobi's book offers new insights into the spaces and locations where pre-industrial European banking and minting transpired, as well as the impact of religious concerns and financial tools on those sites.

Gallegos, "The Ancients: Investigations into the Lost Civilizations of Lemuria and Atlantis" English | ISBN: 0615409660 | 2010 | 260 pages | EPUB | 633 KB Many previously published works on the individual subjects of Lemuria and Atlantis are outdated and lack current academic and scientific findings. The Ancients: Investigations into the Lost Civilizations of Lemuria and Atlantis presents an analysis of information along an established historical timeline. This new research interlaces the sequence of events with esoteric elements: concepts that challenge our conceptual view of human history. Using a historical perspective, the author examines ethnographical and early written accounts related to the myths and legends of Lemuria and Atlantis, in an anthropological and archaeological context. The historical context that is presented relies on established scientific theories and obscure esoteric perspectives with the aim of bringing into light new possibilities.With a multi-cultural background consisting of American Indian and European-Spanish decent (or Mestizo), the author offers new perspectives related to stories of these mysterious and ancient civilizations.
