  This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.  
  How deeply have religious traditions shaped your values, assumptions, and worldview even if you consider yourself secular today? Rachel Thornfield explores the profound influence of religious thinking on modern culture, law, and psychology in this illuminating audiobook about hidden foundations. Discover how concepts you consider universal or obvious actually derive from specific religious traditions that became invisible through cultural dominance over centuries. Through historical analysis and cross-cultural comparison, Thornfield reveals the religious origins of ideas about time, morality, human nature, and society that seem self-evident today. Learn how Christianity, Judaism, Islam, and other traditions embedded themselves so thoroughly in Western civilization that their influence goes unrecognized by most people. This guide examines how religious assumptions shape secular institutions including education, government, and science in ways practitioners rarely acknowledge openly. Understand how your deepest beliefs about right and wrong, purpose and meaning, likely trace to theological frameworks whether or not you practice any religion actively. Thornfield provides perspective for both believers and skeptics on how religious heritage continues operating in contemporary life pervasively. Whether you follow a faith tradition or reject religion entirely, this audiobook will transform your understanding of where your ideas actually come from historically. Perfect for anyone interested in the hidden foundations of modern thought, culture, and social organization.

  Mission - Jimmy Stewart and the...

  In March 1941, Jimmy Stewart, America’s boy next door and recent Academy Award winner, left fame and fortune behind and joined the United States Army Air Corps to fulfill his family mission and serve his country. He rose from private to colonel and participated in twenty often-brutal World War II combat missions over Germany and France. In mere months, the war took away his boyish looks as he faced near-death experiences and the loss of men under his command. The war finally won, he returned home with millions of other veterans to face an uncertain future, suffering what we now know as PTSD. Younger stars like Gregory Peck were now getting roles that might have been Stewart’s, and he didn’t know if he would ever work in Hollywood again. Then came It’s a Wonderful Life. 
  For the next half century, Stewart refused to discuss his combat experiences and took the story of his service to the grave. Mission presents the first in-depth look at Stewart’s life as a squadron commander in the skies over Germany, his return to Hollywood, and the changed man who embarked on production of America’s most beloved holiday classic. 
  Author Robert Matzen sifted through thousands of Air Force combat reports and the Stewart personnel files; interviewed surviving aviators who flew with Stewart; visited the James Stewart Papers at Brigham Young University; flew in the cockpits of the B-17 Flying Fortress and B-24 Liberator; and walked the earth of air bases in England used by Stewart in his combat missions of 1943 through 1945. What emerges in Mission is the story of a Jimmy Stewart you never knew until now—a story more fantastic than any he brought to the screen.

  Why the Ancient Greeks Matter -...

  The ancient Greeks were exceptional and they were consequential. This innovative, engrossingly written book addresses head-on the problematic question of the Greek Miracle. It will appeal to anyone interested in the ancient world and its modern meaning. Reviel Netz boldly argues that the traditional understanding of the Greek legacy as a store of timeless values is false to the Greek literary canon itself. The latter is in fact made up of contradictory texts, sharing no common core of beliefs. This is precisely, for the author, the canon's significance: by presenting a system of works-in-polemic, it created a template for a culture of open debate, leading all the way down to modern civil society. The most lasting result of this practice of open discourse was in science, where Greek disputations paved the way for an autonomous scientific culture and opened the door both to the scientific revolution and the modern world.
