Sinopsis

"Classical Myth Symbolism" explores how ancient Greek and Roman myths encode fundamental truths about humanity and society. It examines these narratives for symbolic patterns reflecting social order, the natural world, and psychological archetypes, offering a fact-based analysis rooted in historical context. The book argues that myths, when viewed as symbolic systems, provide valuable insights into the foundations of human societies and psychology. For example, myths often legitimized social hierarchies through tales of gods and heroes, revealing embedded power dynamics. 

 
The book progresses by first defining key terms and outlining the methodological framework, then dedicating subsequent sections to the core themes. One section focuses on how myths legitimize social hierarchies, another on the personification of nature, and the third on psychological archetypes. This approach distinguishes "Classical Myth Symbolism" by avoiding speculative interpretations and focusing on objective symbolic patterns.

 
By understanding these patterns, readers can gain a deeper appreciation of art, literature, and culture, as well as insights into personal growth.

    Helen Keller was born on June 27, 1880, in Tuscumbia, Alabama. Though born with the ability to see and hear, at 19 months-old she contracted an acute illness that left her both deaf and blind. Eventually, 20-year-old Anne Sullivan, herself visually impaired, became Keller's speech instructor. It was the beginning of a 49-year-long relationship during which Sullivan evolved into Keller's governess and eventually her companion. In 1914, Sullivan's health began to fail, so a young woman from Scotland, Polly Thompson was hired to keep house. Though she had no experience with deaf or blind people, Thompson progressed to working as a secretary, and eventually a constant companion to Keller. Keller went on to become a world-famous speaker and author. She was a suffragist, a pacifist, a radical socialist, and a birth control advocate. In 1915 she and George Kessler founded the Helen Keller International organization, devoted to research in vision, health and nutrition. In 1920 she helped to found the American Civil Liberties Union.

    America's Forgotten Terrorists -...

    Though largely forgotten today, one of the most destructive terrorist groups in the United States was the Galleanists, a fiery band of Italian anarchists active during the early 1900s. In America's Forgotten Terrorists, Jeffrey D. Simon shows how alienation and frustration among segments of a community were transformed into a militant extremist movement. 
     
     
     
    Luigi Galleani, a gifted writer and speaker, tapped into widespread disappointment among Italian immigrants concerning their lives in America. Unemployment, low wages, long working hours, discrimination, and a poor quality of life made many Italian immigrants receptive to his words. The Galleanists introduced terrorist tactics and strategies that are still used today: they were the first group to send package bombs across the country and to exploit the media for their own advantage. 
     
     
     
    The story of the Galleanists is a chilling journey through a volatile period in American history, including labor-management conflicts, World War I, and the Red Scare. An expert in terrorism, Simon offers striking insights into the Galleanist era and some of its eerie connections to modern America, calling us to recognize the risks of repeating our history. How the Galleanists operated and how the U.S. government responded hold lessons for today as we continue to deal with the threat of terrorism.

    In Zen, Zest, Zip, Zap and Zing, Osho responds to questions on love, freedom, morality, women's role in society, nostalgia, a child's right to privacy, the purpose of life, and more. Again and again he nudges the listener back to the essential: Zen – awareness, being here and now. While responding to the concerns of the questioners, Osho also illustrates how nonessential their preoccupations are.
    Whenever questions are academic or "spiritual," Osho hits the questioner's head hard, dismissing such enquiries as games of the ego and even as 'holy cow dung'! Describing how centuries of political and religious slavery have repressed India, Osho lays out a blueprint for the nation to move away from the burdens of the past towards freedom.
    And between the lines, he offers an invitation to live life to the full, to take its challenges head-on and with a sense of humor.
