Asian Mythology - Japanese and...

Matthew Fillard

This book contains the following titles: 
Japanese Mythology - Japanese mythology is a rich tapestry woven from the threads of ancient stories, religious beliefs, and cultural practices that have evolved over centuries. At its core, this mythology provides a window into the Japanese worldview, where nature, spirituality, and humanity are deeply interconnected. It reveals how the Japanese people have understood their place in the universe, the origins of their land, and the divine forces that shape their existence. 
Korean Mythology - The unique characteristics of Korean mythology are closely tied to the geography and history of the region. The Korean Peninsula, surrounded by mountains, forests, and the sea, provided a fertile backdrop for the imagination of its people. Myths and legends often feature these elements as symbolic representations of life, death, and the balance of power between the human and the divine. From the founding myth of Dangun, the legendary progenitor of Korea, to the tales of celestial dragons and fox spirits, these stories capture the dynamic interplay between the mundane and the mystical.

Splitting the Confederacy: The...

Editors Charles River

Given its importance, it’s somewhat surprising in retrospect that the Union managed to capture New Orleans in an easier manner than places like Vicksburg and Atlanta. Admiral David Farragut’s naval forces battered their shaky Confederate counterparts and were able to get over a dozen ships upriver past a couple of crucial Confederate forts along the Mississippi. By May 1862, Union forces occupied the city and General Benjamin Butler became its military governor, leaving the last true bastion of Confederate defenses on the Mississippi at Vicksburg.
At the start of 1863, Robert E. Lee’s Army of Northern Virginia had been frustrating the Union in the Eastern theater for several months, but the situation in the West was completely different. The Confederates had lost control of several important states throughout 1862, and after New Orleans was taken by the Union, the North controlled almost all of the Mississippi River, which Confederate general James Longstreet called “the lungs of the Confederacy”. By taking control of that vital river, the North would virtually cut the Confederacy in two, putting the South in a dire situation.
The only domino left to fall was the stronghold of Vicksburg, and both sides knew it. The Union Army of the Tennessee, led by Ulysses S. Grant, would spend months trying to encircle the army and eventually force John Pemberton’s Confederate army to surrender. Grant eventually succeeded on July 4, 1863, but since it came a day after the climactic finish of the Battle of Gettysburg, Vicksburg was (and still is) frequently overlooked as one of the turning points of the Civil War. In fact, had the Confederate’s military leadership listened to Longstreet, who advocated detaching soldiers from Lee’s army to head west and help the Confederates deal with Grant or Rosecrans in that theater, the Battle of Gettysburg might never have happened.

Temperance - The Balanced Life:...

Esther Jameson

Temperance is not merely about denying oneself pleasures, but rather it is an art form that requires the mastery of self-awareness and the thoughtful regulation of desires. In this chapter, we explore the journey toward achieving balance in life by understanding and applying the principle of temperance in everyday circumstances. Temperance involves a mindful approach to living, where each decision is carefully weighed against personal values and long-term well-being. This approach invites individuals to consider what is truly necessary and to avoid the excesses that can lead to imbalance.
At its core, the art of temperance calls for introspection and self-reflection. It encourages the cultivation of habits that foster a sense of control and awareness. By recognizing the triggers that lead to impulsive actions, one can develop strategies to counteract those impulses and maintain a steady course toward a balanced life. This mindful practice is a continuous process that requires both patience and perseverance. Every choice, whether big or small, contributes to the overall picture of one's well-being. When practiced consistently, temperance transforms not only individual habits but also enhances relationships and personal growth.
The practice of temperance extends beyond the realm of personal behavior into the wider sphere of social interactions and professional responsibilities. It is a quality that can enhance leadership and foster environments where collective well-being is prioritized over individual excess. When temperance is embraced as a guiding principle, it leads to a more thoughtful, measured, and ultimately rewarding approach to life. Rather than reacting impulsively to every situation, a temperate individual considers the broader context, assessing both immediate and long-term impacts of their actions.
