Sinopse

Drowned Lands explores the fascinating history of submerged lands and lost civilizations, examining the geological and cultural forces behind their disappearance beneath the sea. This book delves into how geological processes, like plate tectonics and sea-level fluctuations, contribute to the submergence of landmasses and human settlements. Intriguingly, Doggerland, once a vast area connecting Britain to continental Europe, now lies beneath the North Sea, demonstrating these powerful forces at work. The book uniquely blends earth sciences, history, and mythology to understand these drowned lands.

 
It progresses from introducing the concept of submerged landscapes to investigating geological forces, examining specific lost settlements like Port Royal, Jamaica, and analyzing related myths such as Atlantis.

 
By understanding past submergences, we can gain critical insights into the dynamic relationship between humanity and the environment, offering valuable lessons for navigating our changing world and informing coastal management strategies in the face of climate change and coastal erosion.

20 Myths about Religion and...

Ryan P. Burge

The way most people think about religion and politics is only loosely linked to empirical reality, argues Ryan P. Burge in 20 Myths about Religion and Politics in America. Instead, our thinking is based on anecdotes, a quick scan of news headlines, or worse, flat-out lies told by voices trying to push a religious or political agenda on a distracted public. 
 
 
 
Burge sees this fundamentally flawed understanding of the world around us and our misperceptions about where we fit into the larger fabric of society as caustic for the future of American politics and religion. Without an accurate picture of our society, when we subscribe to only caricatures of what our country looks like, we never really address the problems facing us. 
 
 
 
Striving to be an impartial referee, Burge describes with accessible and engaging prose what the data says. Step by step, he debunks twenty myths, using rigorous data analysis and straightforward explanations. He gives listeners the resources to adopt an empirical view of the world that can help all of us, religious and nonreligious alike, get past at least some of the unsupported beliefs that divide us.
