Sinopse

Legends of Beasts explores the fascinating world of mythical creatures and their profound impact on human history and culture. It argues that these beasts, like dragons and unicorns, are not mere figments of imagination but powerful cultural artifacts reflecting humanity's deepest fears and aspirations. For example, sea monsters often represent the unknown dangers of the natural world, while forest spirits embody our connection to the environment. 

 
The book adopts a thematic approach, tracing the evolution of archetypes across different cultures and time periods, revealing surprising similarities and differences. Beginning with the origins of these legends and their symbolic weight in archaic cultures, the study progresses to the rise of legendary creatures in established religions and culminates in a dissection of their lasting impact in modern entertainment and even technological design. This approach provides readers with a comprehensive understanding of how legends shape our understanding of the world.

    Plunge headlong into the heart of Toulouse: this audiobook vividly restores, with captivating precision, the epic of a major Midi city—from its Celtic origins to the Roman era, from Visigothic splendor to the dramas of the Albigensian Crusade, and on to municipal affirmation and medieval intellectual growth. Discover a crossroads city shaped by its Garonne River, ramparts, markets, religious orders, and capitouls; a melting pot of arts, law, and faith where troubadours, builders, merchants, and jurists intertwine. Henri Ramet, a magistrate-historian of luminous rigor, weaves a clear, dense, and sensitive fresco: living topography, resurrected monuments, explained institutions, major crises recounted at street level (Taur, Daurade, Saint-Sernin, Château Narbonnais), never sacrificing emotion to knowledge. Narration breathes life and rhythm into this urban chronicle, turning archives and stones into characters. For those who love concrete history, world-cities, and collective destinies, here is a broad, scholarly, and vibrant journey—where one feels the heartbeat of "Palladian" Toulouse, century after century. An instant classic for understanding, seeing, and loving the pink city differently.

    Warriors Hate War - Strategy...

    Why, after over 100 Sigma war games showed us that we could not win, did we still go into Vietnam? Why, if one military doctrine irrefutably indicates that it can succeed time after time, is it not adopted in every military action? Why do warriors hate war? Because their bosses don't understand it. What's the mission? How do we win? What is winning? Bush said that winning was when the major combat operations were ceasing. Maybe so, but knowing how to win a war while striving not to be in one makes a real warrior. Warriors Hate War-Strategy, politicization, successes, and failures of the American military by Glenn Sturm explores the military actions since WW11 through lenses that reveal alternate outcomes and pose frameworks that could inform decision-making for the future of war and, more importantly, peace. 
    About the Author
