  The Trickster Gods - Deities of...

  The trickster god is a figure that appears in mythologies across the world, embodying deception, wit, and unpredictability. These deities challenge societal norms, defy authority, and blur the boundaries between good and evil. Often mischievous and cunning, they are not bound by conventional morality, instead operating through trickery, subversion, and humor to achieve their goals. While they may appear as troublemakers, their actions frequently lead to unexpected wisdom, transformation, or creation.  
    
  Trickster gods serve as both disruptors and innovators. By breaking rules, they expose the rigidity of societal structures, forcing individuals and cultures to reconsider what they believe to be true. In some traditions, they are creators who shape the world through cunning rather than brute force. In others, they act as divine messengers, weaving chaos into cosmic order. Their duality—both destructive and constructive—makes them some of the most compelling figures in mythology.  
    
  Loki, the infamous Norse trickster, is a master of deception, shifting alliances and playing both hero and villain within the same myths. Anansi, the spider god of West African folklore, uses intelligence and cleverness to outwit stronger opponents, often teaching moral lessons through his trickery. Hermes, the Greek god of thieves and messengers, personifies swift cunning, charming even the mightiest gods with his persuasive words. Native American traditions tell of Coyote, a shape-shifter whose antics bring both laughter and misfortune, illustrating the fine line between wisdom and folly. Across the Pacific, Maui, the Polynesian trickster, steals fire and slows the sun, securing gifts for humankind through his mischievous daring.

  A Thousand Ways to Pay Attention...

  Rebecca Schiller

  • 0

  It should have been Rebecca Schiller's dream come true: moving her young family to the English countryside to raise goats and coax their own fruit and vegetables from the land. But, as she writes: The summer of striding out toward a life of open fields and sacks of corn, I brought a confused black hole of something pernicious but not yet acknowledged along for the ride. 
   
   
   
  Rebecca's health begins to crumble, with bewildering symptoms: frequent falls, uncontrollable rages, and mysterious lapses in memory. As she fights to be seen by specialists, her fledgling homestead—and her family—hang by increasingly tenuous threads. And when her diagnosis finally comes, it is utterly unexpected: severe ADHD. 
   
   
   
  In her scramble for answers, Rebecca's consciousness alternately sears with pinpoint focus and spirals with connections. Childhood memories resurface with new meaning, and her daily life entwines with the history of women who tended this land before her. Her family weathers their growing pains where generations of acorns have fallen to rise again as trees, where ancient wolves and lynx once stalked the shadows. Written in unsparing, luminous prose, this is an all-absorbing memoir of one woman's newfound neurodivergence—and a clarion call to overturn the narrative that says minds are either normal and good or different and broken.

  Plowshares into Swords -...

  David Ekbladh

  An in-depth look at how the ideas formulated by the interwar League of Nations shaped American thinking on the modern global order. 
  Plowshares into Swords recaptures the power of knowledge and information developed between World War I and World War II by an international society of institutions and individuals committed to liberal international order and given focus by the League of Nations in Geneva. That information and analysis revolutionized critical debates in a world in crisis. In doing so, David Ekbladh transforms conventional understandings of the United States’ postwar hegemony, showing that important elements of it were profoundly influenced by ideas that emerged from international exchanges. The League’s work was one part of a larger transnational movement that included the United States and which saw the emergence of concepts like national income, gross domestic product, and other attempts to define and improve the standards of living, as well as new approaches to old questions about the role of government. Forged as tools for peace these ideas were beaten into weapons as World War II threatened. Ekbladh recounts how, though the US had never been a member of the organization, vital parts of the League were rescued after the fall of France in 1940 and given asylum at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton. However, this presence in the US is just one reason its already well-regarded economic analyses and example were readily mobilized by influential American and international figures for an Allied “war of ideas,” plans for a postwar world, and even blueprints for the new United Nations. How did this body of information become so valuable? As Ekbladh makes clear, the answer is that information and analysis themselves became crucial currencies in global affairs: to sustain a modern, liberal global order, a steady stream of information about economics, politics, and society was, and remains, indispensable.

  Now a major motion picture starring Sir Anthony Hopkins and Helena Bonham Carter 
   
   
   
  In 1938, twenty-nine-year-old "Nicky" canceled a ski trip and instead spent nine months masterminding a seemingly impossible plan to rescue hundreds of Jewish children and find them homes in the United Kingdom. Over 6,000 people are alive today because of his efforts. 
   
   
   
  What motivated an ordinary man to do something so extraordinary? This book, written by his daughter, Barbara, explores the 106-year life of an incredible humanitarian, a man whose legacy only came to public light decades later. 
   
   
   
  His life story is a clarion call to choose action over apathy in the face of injustice, and a reminder that every one of us can change the world. 
   
   
   
  "If something is not impossible, then there must be a way to do it."
