Sinopse

Beast Myths explores the enduring influence of legendary creatures on global cultures, revealing how these figures reflect human anxieties, aspirations, and belief systems. Delving into folklore and cultural storytelling traditions, the book highlights that dragons, for example, aren't just fire-breathing monsters but potent symbols embodying societal values and moral codes. The book also touches on the idea that understanding the myths surrounding werewolves can provide insight into historical and cultural fears. 

 
The book examines the origins and evolution of specific legendary creatures, like trickster figures, across different cultures. It analyzes how these creatures function as metaphors for human traits or societal problems. 

 
Progressing through thematic chapters, Beast Myths draws upon ancient texts, archaeological findings, and literary analyses to demonstrate the lasting impact of these myths on literature, art, and our understanding of ourselves.

    First published in 1871, Ancient America delivers the earliest comprehensive English‑language survey of North America’s prehistoric past. Baldwin synthesizes scattered accounts—from the fluted‑point hunters of the Paleo‑Indian era to the monumental earthworks of the Mississippi‑Valley “Mound Builders,” and onward to the pyramidal cities of Mexico and Central America—into a single, lucid narrative. Rejecting then‑common Eurocentric myths, he argues that these civilizations were “wholly original, wholly American,” products of indigenous innovation rather than Old‑World transplantations. Richly illustrated with plates and informed by Baldwin’s correspondence with leading thinkers of his day, this seminal work frames American antiquities within a global archaeological context and remains a cornerstone for understanding the continent’s ancient ingenuity.

    We have to stop treating a pneumonia patient with cough syrup! The majority of leadership books focus on treating the symptoms of poor leadership and not the disease itself. In leadership the symptoms may be low employee engagement, bad communication, lack of trust, and micromanagement, but the underlying disease relates to CHARACTER. 
    Our data proves that people want to follow character. 
    Ask yourself, "Would you follow you?"  
    Unlike other books, Becoming a Leader of Character simply and boldly tells us HOW to develop our character instead of just telling us we need to have it. Developing character is not complicated, but it is hard. Growing always requires a little sweat! 
    "You have to DO what you want to BE!" 
    If you want something more than theories, and you want to BE the Leader of Character your business, your family, and your country desperately need, read Becoming a Leader of Character and start doing what Leaders of Character DO. 
    This book lays out a plan for you to become that leader you would want to follow - a Leader of Character.

    In The Chile Project, Sebastian Edwards tells the story of how the neoliberal economic model came to an end in 2021, when Gabriel Boric was elected president, vowing that "If Chile was the cradle of neoliberalism, it will also be its grave." More than a story about one Latin American country, The Chile Project is a behind-the-scenes history of the spread and consequences of the free-market thinking that dominated economic policymaking around the world in the second half of the twentieth century—but is now on the retreat. 
     
     
     
    In 1955, the United States State Department launched the "Chile Project" to train Chilean economists at the University of Chicago. After General Augusto Pinochet overthrew socialist president Salvador Allende in 1973, Chile's "Chicago Boys" implemented the purest neoliberal model for the next seventeen years, undertaking a package of privatization and deregulation, creating a modern capitalist economy, and sparking talk of a "Chilean miracle." But under the veneer of success, a profound dissatisfaction with the inequalities caused by neoliberalism was growing. In 2019, protests erupted throughout the country, and in 2022 Boric began his presidency with a clear mandate: to end neoliberalismo. 
     
     
     
    The Chile Project provides an important new perspective on the history of neoliberalism and its global decline today.

    Debunking 20 Bitcoin Myths: Unlocking America's Crypto Future cuts through bubble headlines and doomsday climate takes to ask what this code actually does for US money, power and policy. From "it's a Ponzi" and "has no real use" to "will be banned" and "kills the planet", Miguel Thornton tests each viral claim against SEC filings, Fed speeches, ETF flows, mining data and real world case studies of savers, migrants and miners. In twenty sharp, tightly sourced chapters he explains how Wall Street, regulators and media built comforting myths that protect the old system, and what the numbers really say about volatility, regulation, inequality and national security. If you want to argue or invest in Bitcoin with factsinstead of memes, start here.
