Sinopse

In "Discoveries Made Upon Men and Matter and Some Poems," Ben Jonson delivers a rich tapestry of philosophical reflection intertwined with sharp social commentary. This collection showcases Jonson's trademark wit and keen observations, offering insights into human nature, societal norms, and the complexities of existence. The work is laden with Jonson's characteristic use of metaphor and theatricality, as he deftly blends prose and poetry, engaging readers in a dialogue about the moral and existential struggles of his time, while setting the stage for the themes of the burgeoning Enlightenment period. Ben Jonson, a central figure in English literature and a contemporary of Shakespeare, was renowned for his sharp intellect and understanding of human folly. His background as a playwright and poet informed his exploration of the intricacies of character and society, as well as his commitment to uncovering truths beneath surface appearances. The socio-political climate of early 17th-century England, marked by puritanical constraints and a burgeoning interest in reason and science, greatly influenced his reflective and often critical lens. This book is an essential read for anyone interested in the intersections of literature, philosophy, and history. Jonson's insights remain profoundly relevant today as they encourage readers to reconsider their own perceptions of humanity and the world around them. His eloquent probing into the human condition invites contemplation and sparks discussion, making it a timeless addition to any literary collection.

    A look at the Lewis and Clark Expedition and the plant specimens the great explorers gathered on their way—and of their amazing afterlife.Elizabeth Adelman's Chasing the Missing Monkeyflower is the two hundred-year saga of finding, losing, and finding the wild plants collected on America's first exploration west, the Lewis and Clark Expedition.Thomas Jefferson handpicked Meriwether Lewis to lead the expedition, gather notable specimens along the way, and then write the journals, with one volume to include science-worthy descriptions and classifications of the plants that Lewis collected and pressed to preserve. Not a botanist, Lewis needed help to write this part of the journals.Ambition, deceit, theft, wealth, debt, alcoholism, loss, suicide, serendipity, and stubborn persistence cross the plants' paths in Philadelphia, New York, and London. This is the first work detailing the places, practices, and times of a cavalcade of people who touched the plants. A fascinating chronicle of an unexplored byway of the great American story.

    Far more than just a faint echo of the past, Ireland's fairy forts are still vibrantly alive. 
    The traditions connected to them are so powerful that, even today, people rarely interfere with Irish fairy forts or fairy trees. They aren't built on; roads curve around them; farmers don't plough over them 
    The most numerous ancient remains in Ireland today, numbering up to 50,000 or more, these enigmatic mounds and grassy banks seem to call out to us from an earlier time. So, what are they, who built them and what were they for? And how have so many survived for so long?
    With evocative photographs by Richard Mills, master folklorist Jo Kerrigan explores the origins of these mysterious circular structures: the stories and legends, the history and archaeology, the living traditions and practices connected to them. And reminds us of the dangers of disturbing the ancient spirits dwelling beneath.
