Synopsis

Ancient Food Rituals explores the deep connections between food, spirituality, and religious ceremonies throughout history. It examines how these practices have shaped human societies and belief systems. Early societies saw success in agriculture and hunting as divine favor, imbuing food with spiritual significance. The book argues these rituals provide insights into cultural values, revealing food as more than just sustenance.

 
The book starts with fundamental concepts like the symbolic meanings of foods, such as bread representing life and wine symbolizing transformation. It then delves into specific food rituals from ancient Egypt, Greece, Rome, Mesoamerica, and early Judaism and Christianity. Each chapter focuses on a particular civilization or religious tradition, examining the foods that were considered sacred and the rituals surrounding their preparation and consumption.

 
Drawing from archaeological records, ancient texts, and ethnographic studies, the book highlights common threads and unique adaptations across different cultures. It culminates in a discussion of the enduring legacy of ancient food rituals in contemporary society, showing how modern dietary practices and religious celebrations echo these ancient traditions. This approach offers a broad comparative analysis of food and spirituality.

    Enter the inner world of the Brahma Kumaris through this immersive and dynamic audiobook that blends anthropological insight with a deeply personal spiritual journey. Drawing on years of fieldwork and lived experience, Tamasin Ramsay explores purity not as a static moral ideal, but as a living, evolving discipline—one that actively shapes identity, relationships, and inner freedom. 
    Through the lives of four women, Custodians of Purity unfolds as both a contemplative and experiential work. Their stories move through moments of struggle, devotion, doubt, and revelation, revealing how spiritual commitment is enacted in everyday life. As these narratives cross cultural and social boundaries, listeners are invited into an embodied understanding of purity as a force that cultivates self-respect, clarity, and peace. 
    More than an academic study, this audiobook is designed to be listened to as an experience. It brings the listener into the rhythm and inner texture of BK Raja Yoga, understood by its practitioners as a return to the soul’s original nature and a catalyst for personal and collective transformation you are invited on a journey that is both grounding and quietly transformative. 
    Praised by scholars as “beautiful, brave, and deeply moving,” Custodians of Purity will resonate with listeners interested in spirituality, lived religion, and the subtle power of inner discipline in a world longing for authentic connection.

    Reader Come Home - The Reading...

    From the author of Proust and the Squid, a lively, ambitious, and deeply informative epistolary book that considers the future of the reading brain and our capacity for critical thinking, empathy, and reflection as we become increasingly dependent on digital technologies. 
    A decade ago, Maryanne Wolf’s Proust and the Squid revealed what we know about how the brain learns to read and how reading changes the way we think and feel. Since then, the ways we process written language have changed dramatically with many concerned about both their own changes and that of children. New research on the reading brain chronicles these changes in the brains of children and adults as they learn to read while immersed in a digitally dominated medium. 
    Drawing deeply on this research, this book comprises a series of letters Wolf writes to us—her beloved readers—to describe her concerns and her hopes about what is happening to the reading brain as it unavoidably changes to adapt to digital mediums. Wolf raises difficult questions, including:Will children learn to incorporate the full range of ""deep reading"" processes that are at the core of the expert reading brain?Will the mix of a seemingly infinite set of distractions for children’s attention and their quick access to immediate, voluminous information alter their ability to think for themselves?With information at their fingertips, will the next generation learn to build their own storehouse of knowledge, which could impede the ability to make analogies and draw inferences from what they know?Will all these influences, in turn, change the formation in children and the use in adults of ""slower"" cognitive processes like critical thinking, personal reflection, imagination, and empathy that comprise deep reading and that influence both how we think and how we live our lives?Will the chain of digital influences ultimately influence the use of the critical analytical and empathic capacities necessary for a democratic society?How can we preserve deep reading processes in future iterations of the reading brain?Who are the ""good readers"" of every epoch? 
    Concerns about attention span, critical reasoning, and over-reliance on technology are never just about children—Wolf herself has found that, though she is a reading expert, her ability to read deeply has been impacted as she has become, inevitably, increasingly dependent on screens. 
    Wolf draws on neuroscience, literature, education, technology, and philosophy and blends historical, literary, and scientific facts with down-to-earth examples and warm anecdotes to illuminate complex ideas that culminate in a proposal for a biliterate reading brain. Provocative and intriguing, Reader, Come Home is a roadmap that provides a cautionary but hopeful perspective on the impact of technology on our brains and our most essential intellectual capacities—and what this could mean for our future.

    Whiting award-winning poet and Distinguished Chair of Humanities at MIT, Dr. Joshua Bennett creates a masterful synthesis of personal narrative and history that illuminates the promises and perils of being labelled a Black prodigy. If our gifts aren’t earned, but given, then what do they require of us? This question is especially charged, historically, within African American communities. In The People Can Fly, Dr. Joshua Bennett explores the complex position of black prodigies—ranging from the 18th century to the present—living in a society that has, all too often, defined blackness as absence; as lack of intellect, or interior life. He examines the question of what it means, costs, to be deemed exceptional given this state of affairs. Especially when such a distinction is framed as the key to individual success in an unfair world, and cause for separation from the people, and places, one cherishes. In this hybrid work of memoir and cultural history, Dr. Bennett turns to the childhood archives of Malcolm X, Stevie Wonder, Gwendolyn Brooks, James Baldwin, June Jordan and others to explore how an expansive array of cultural institutions—Motown Records, the Michigan School for the Blind, and Frederick Douglass Junior High School, for example—helped shape the lives of leading lights in African American culture. He presents this group as having emerged from spaces that were defined not solely by particular educational strategies, but by a shared sense of transcendent purpose. For the first time, Dr. Bennett also shares the ways that his own academic journey mirrors the ebb and flow of being seen both as promising and as a problem. He bolsters this personal narrative by exploring his family history; how it inspired him to study the works of neurodivergent artists and performers like Thomas Wiggins, Oscar Moore, and Stephen Wiltshire. In threading these narratives together, Bennett lays out an astonishing portrait of a tradition within a tradition: a tale of legends and living savants whose work demands our attention, and defense against erasure. With stunning prose and grace, The People Can Fly is an urgent reflection on what it can mean to not just be gifted, but to give one’s gifts away, in the present day. It is a praise song for generations of black dreamers, who dared to imagine another world and build one too. Where ascension is only the beginning.
