Sinopsis

"Secret Societies" offers a meticulous exploration of history's most influential hidden organizations, tracing their evolution from ancient Egyptian Mystery Schools to modern fraternal orders. This comprehensive study investigates how these clandestine groups have shaped politics, religion, and culture throughout human civilization, focusing on their organizational structures, methods of influence, and lasting impact on society.

 
The book systematically examines these secretive organizations across three major historical periods, beginning with ancient civilizations and their Mystery Schools, particularly the Eleusinian Mysteries of Greece. It then progresses through the medieval period, highlighting the Knights Templar's transformation from a military order to a powerful financial institution, before exploring the Enlightenment era's Freemasons and their role in political revolutions.

 
Drawing from recently declassified documents, archaeological findings, and academic studies, the text separates documented facts from popular speculation. What sets this work apart is its scholarly yet accessible approach to understanding how secret societies operated at the intersection of power structures. Through careful analysis of primary sources, including ritual texts and member journals, the book reveals how these organizations developed sophisticated banking systems, preserved ancient knowledge, and influenced political movements. The research methodology combines historical documentation with sociological analysis, offering readers a balanced and evidence-based perspective on these fascinating organizations that continue to captivate public imagination.

Endangered Eating - America's...

Sarah Lohman

Apples, a common New England crop, have been called the United States' most endangered food. The iconic Texas Longhorn cattle is categorized at critical risk for extinction. Unique date palms, found nowhere else on the planet, grow in California’s Coachella Valley, but the family farms that caretake them are shutting down. Apples, cattle, dates?these are foods that carry significant cultural weight. But they’re disappearing. In Endangered Eating, culinary historian Sarah Lohman draws inspiration from the Ark of Taste, a list compiled by Slow Food International that catalogues important regional foods. She travels the country learning about the distinct ingredients at risk of being lost: in Hawaii, she learns the stories behind heirloom sugarcane; in the Navajo Nation, she assists in the traditional butchering of a Navajo Churro ram; in the Upper Midwest, she harvests wild rice; in the Pacific Northwest, she spends a day reefnet fishing; on the Gulf Coast, she devours gumbo made with filé powder; in the Lowcountry of South Carolina, she tastes America’s oldest peanut. She learns from those who love these rare ingredients: shepherds, fishers, farmers, scientists, historians, and activists. And she tries her hand at raising these crops and preparing these dishes. Animated by stories yet grounded in research, Endangered Eating gives listeners the tools to support community organizations and producers that work to preserve local culinary traditions and rare, cherished foods.

Treasury of Folklore: Stars and...

Willow Winsham

Following on from the hugely popular Treasury of Folklore: Seasand Rivers and Woodlands and Forests comes Treasury of Folklore: Stars and Skies, an exploration of the mysteries of the stars, skies and heavens above.
People have gazed up at the same stars for millennia, trading stories about them; conjuring gods and goddesses; mapping the constellations; and navigating the complex human world below. The tales, traditions and myths included here traverse countries and continents and have been chosen to highlight how humans are linked through time and place, with shared dreams, fears and ways of rationalising the unknown.
Under 'Stars and Heavens' Willow delves into rosy fingered dawn and the hubris of Icarus, the Greek myths surrounding the constellations and the omen of meteors, the trials of the Hawaiian goddess Hina and the legend of the rabbit in the moon. In the section on 'Skies' we are introduced to winged Pegasus and the Firebird, the Witch of Westray and stories of storms, the mysteries of the Northern Lights and unexplained UFOs. 
Treasury of Folklore: Stars and Skies is a fascinating portal into a rich history of myths surrounding the sky, an aspect of the natural world that continues to fascinate and confound.
