Sinopse

"Verified Ancient Maxims" explores whether the wisdom of ancient sayings holds up to modern scrutiny. It delves into the factual basis of age-old expressions using empirical evidence from fields like psychology and sociology. The book argues that many accepted maxims aren't just simplistic platitudes, but distillations of observed phenomena validated by contemporary research. One intriguing insight is how these maxims often align with our understanding of cognitive biases, revealing connections between ancient wisdom and modern science. The book examines the origins and evolution of maxims, their cultural significance, and their reflections of quantifiable realities.

 
It progresses from defining and classifying maxims to analyzing them within thematic categories like human behavior and societal structures. For example, maxims related to decision-making are contrasted with findings from behavioral economics. This approach distinguishes itself by emphasizing empirical validation, assessing the factual accuracy of ancient sayings through contemporary research, and offering readers practical takeaways for improved decision-making.

    I'm Not Your Muse - Uncovering...

    An illuminating exploration of 31 incredible women—across art, architecture, dance, literature, and more—whose culture-defining contributions have, until now, been overshadowed by their role as "muses" to history's better-known men.  What does it mean to be someone's "muse"? Historically, to be called a “muse” among artistic circles has been marketed as a flattering title. It is a commendation that most often refers to a woman whose vivacity and beauty are the source of inspiration for a (usually) male artist or creator. Perhaps her inspiring presence is even credited in the story of his success. But the very concept of a muse underestimates these women and their abilities. At its root, muse is a support role, the title a consolation prize that claims to recognize a woman’s greatness—but only in her support of another.I'm Not Your Muse reclaims the narrative of 31 of these extraordinary women, from "The Mother of the Movies" Alice Guy-Blaché to Modernist designer Eileen Gray, prima ballerina Maria Tallchief, storied Harlem Renaissance editor Jessie Redmon Fauset, and many more. Each of these women advanced the narrative of culture and society, pushing the boundaries of visual arts, dance and movement, commercial architecture, music, journalism, and the performing arts. Whether by historical accident or cruel design, their contributions have historically been overshadowed by those of their male counterparts, and often collaborators. In this briskly written, incisively researched compendium, author and researcher Lori Zimmer repositions these women as the main characters of their own lives. Each profile is accented with original illustrations—including jaunty portraits in playfully constructed frames—by artist Maria Krasinski. Together, they highlight the contemporary accomplishments and historical legacies of a wide-ranging group of revolutionary women. Featured women include:  Louise Blanchard Bethune  Claude Cahun and Marcel Moore  Minnette de Silva  Clara Driscoll  Jessie Redmon Fauset  Loie Fuller  Martha Gellhorn    Eileen Gray  Belle da Costa Greene  Alice Guy-Blaché  Miss La La  Edmonia Lewis  Neysa McMein  Hildreth Meière  Lucia Moholy  May and Jane Morris    Na Hye-Sŏk  Fernande Olivier  Pan Yuliang    Ethel Reed    Clara Rockmore    Ada Bricktop Smith  Maria Tallchief  Alice B.

    The Killing of The Reavey...

    In this gripping memoir, Eugene Reavey takes readers on a harrowing journey through the darkest chapter of his life during the Northern Ireland Troubles. Reavey relives the tragic night in 1976 when his three brothers—John Martin, Anthony, and Brian—were brutally murdered in their family home in Whitecross, South Armagh.
    As Reavey grapples with profound loss and an unrelenting quest for justice, he uncovers a web of treachery and collusion that shakes the very foundations of Northern Ireland's past.Through meticulous research and firsthand testimony, Reavey exposes the alarming truths behind the covert protection afforded to the notorious Glenanne Gang, a loyalist paramilitary group, by key institutions. He navigates a sinister labyrinth of threats and schemes orchestrated by the feared Ulster Defence Association (UDA) enforcer, Jimmy Craig, and confronts the shocking false allegations made by Democratic Unionist Party (DUP) Leader Ian Paisley in the House of Commons, which were challenged but never retracted.
    Perhaps the most chilling revelation is the Reavey family's accidental discovery of a staggering 84-year embargo on the release of crucial British files related to the murders. This startling find raises the question: why the silence?
    Reavey's compelling narrative captures the intrigue, drama, and profound human cost of the Troubles. It serves as a powerful testament to the lengths people will go to uncover the truth and the devastating impact of sectarian violence on families and communities. It is a searing chronicle of a society fractured by conflict and a family's unwavering determination to find answers in the face of unimaginable tragedy.
    This book is a must-read for readers of true crime, Northern Ireland history and stories of injustice and resilience. It is also perfect for fans of Patrick Radden Keefe's 'Say Nothing', Henry Hemmings 'Four Shots in the Night', and similar works that explore the human impact of The Troubles.
