It's now a prevalent name for the portion of Mosul that's on the Tigris' eastern bank, and it is also the name of the nation's Nineveh Governorate. 
  It was the world's largest city for about fifty years till it was sacked by a union of its previous subject tribes, including but not limited to the Babylonians, Medes, Persians, Scythians, and Cimmerians, in the year 612 BC, following a severe period of civil dispute in Assyria.

  As we begin to contemplate death and to embark on practical planning for life's end, many of us long to leave a legacy beyond a transfer of money and property—one that ensures a sustainable earth for our loved ones, our communities, and generations to come. But where do we even begin? 
   
   
   
  With the sudden deaths of both of her parents, Mallory McDuff found herself in a similar position. Utterly unprepared both emotionally and practically, she began to research sustainable practices around death and dying. For McDuff, an educator and environmentalist, what started as a highly personal endeavor expanded into a yearlong exploration and assessment of green burials, aquamation, green cemeteries, home funerals, and human composting. 
   
   
   
  In Our Last Best Act, McDuff bridges the gap between environmental action and religious faith by demonstrating that when the two are combined, they become a powerful force for the greater good. Full of practical information, this book equips listeners to make decisions for their own end-of-life planning. In a world experiencing a climate crisis and a culture that avoids discussions about death and dying, this book opens the conversation about the choices we make—and how it's possible for our death to honor our values, create a sustainable legacy, and help to heal the earth.

  Commands, to be effective, must be short and to the point: the greatest command ever recorded is found in the few simple words, “And God said, ‘Let there be light.’”Experience a complete understanding of mystical teacher Neville Goddard’s method for using the true nature of your imaginative powers of creativity as he succinctly lays out his ideas in this, his first full-length book, written in 1939. It is idealist philosophy taken to its razor-edge, argued with Neville’s typically jewel-like precision. Neville, one of the most remarkable mystical thinkers of the past century, discloses his extraordinary and testable claim that your awakened imagination is God Itself. In more than ten books and thousands of lectures, Neville expanded on that one core prin¬ciple. “The only God,” he told audiences, “is your own wonderful human imagination.”A compelling presence at metaphysical churches, spiritual centers and auditoriums, Neville was not widely known during his lifetime, but today his books and lectures have attained new popularity as a new generation is discovering and testing Neville's core principle: imagining creates reality.This edition includes a new Introduction by PEN Award-winning historian, Mitch Horowitz.

  Japanese Folktales - Myths...

  Japanese folklore is a vast and intricate tapestry woven from centuries of myths, legends, and supernatural tales. Rooted in the country’s deep connection to nature, spirituality, and tradition, these stories have shaped Japan’s cultural identity, influencing art, literature, and everyday customs. Whether passed down through oral traditions, ancient scrolls, or kabuki theater, these folktales continue to capture the imagination of generations. They offer not just entertainment but also profound lessons on morality, resilience, and the unseen forces that shape human lives.  
    
  At the core of Japanese mythology are the kami, divine spirits or gods that inhabit all aspects of existence, from towering mountains to small household objects. Shintoism, the indigenous belief system of Japan, revolves around the reverence of these spirits, which often play central roles in legendary tales. Stories of deities such as Amaterasu, the radiant sun goddess, and Susanoo, the wild storm god, illustrate the balance of harmony and chaos, creation and destruction. These myths offer insight into the spiritual foundation of Japan and the ways in which its people have long sought to explain the world around them.  
    
  Beyond the gods and celestial myths, Japanese folklore is rich with spirits, ghosts, and yokai—supernatural creatures that range from mischievous to terrifying. Some, like the playful kitsune (fox spirits) and shape-shifting tanuki (raccoon dogs), serve as tricksters who blur the line between good and evil. Others, such as the vengeful onryō, are restless spirits that return to haunt the living, often as a consequence of betrayal or tragedy. These ghostly tales have influenced everything from traditional Noh theater to modern horror films, keeping the eerie legacy of Japan’s supernatural folklore alive.
