Sinossi

"Storm Legends" explores the intersection of meteorology, mythology, and history to reveal how ancient cultures interpreted and integrated real-world weather events into their storm narratives. By examining myths from regions like the Mediterranean, Mesoamerica, and East Asia, the book identifies the meteorological phenomena that likely inspired them, such as waterspouts mistaken for sea monsters or lightning storms attributed to divine rage. The study of these myths offers insights into early environmental awareness and challenges the notion of myths as purely imaginative creations, suggesting they also functioned as a form of early environmental record-keeping. The book uniquely integrates paleoclimatology data with cultural interpretations, providing a fact-based perspective on how specific weather patterns influenced storytelling. It begins by introducing core meteorological concepts and historical weather observations, then progresses geographically to analyze storm myths, identifying the meteorological phenomena behind them. By connecting Earth Sciences Geography, History World, and religious studies, "Storm Legends" provides a comprehensive understanding of humanity's historical relationship with extreme weather. The book demonstrates how these ancient stories can inform our understanding of current climate challenges.

    Ophthalmology is the branch of medicine that focuses on the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of eye diseases and disorders. It encompasses the care of the eyes, as well as vision, including conditions that affect the ability to see clearly. As one of the most specialized fields of healthcare, ophthalmology combines elements of surgery, medical diagnosis, and therapeutic care. The eye is an intricate organ that plays a crucial role in the way humans experience the world, and ophthalmology seeks to preserve and enhance vision by addressing a wide range of eye-related conditions. 
    The role of ophthalmologists, medical doctors specialized in eye care, is pivotal in maintaining visual health and addressing the complexities of eye diseases. Ophthalmologists undergo years of specialized education and training in both medical and surgical aspects of eye care. They are responsible for providing comprehensive services, ranging from routine eye examinations to advanced surgical procedures such as cataract surgery, glaucoma treatments, and retinal surgeries. Their expertise also extends to diagnosing and managing diseases that affect the entire eye, from the cornea and lens to the retina and optic nerve. 
    Over the centuries, the field of ophthalmology has evolved considerably. Ancient civilizations, including the Egyptians and Greeks, made early attempts to understand the anatomy and function of the eye. However, it was in the 19th and 20th centuries that modern ophthalmology truly began to take shape, with the invention of essential diagnostic tools and surgical techniques. The development of the ophthalmoscope, for example, revolutionized the ability to examine the interior of the eye, leading to more accurate diagnoses. In the following decades, innovations in surgical methods, such as cataract surgery, and advances in treatments for conditions like glaucoma and macular degeneration have drastically improved patient outcomes.

    Do you spend most of your nights staring at the ceiling and wake up with no energy? If yes, this is the right audio-book for you. 
    Hypnosis is a technique that can be used to promote better sleep by inducing a state of deep relaxation and heightened suggestibility. 
    Here’s how it works:relaxation: the process typically begins with the individual being guided into a relaxed state, often through deep breathing and progressive muscle relaxation. This helps reduce stress and tension;focused attention: once relaxed, the hypnotist or the individual focuses on calming imagery or soothing words. This concentration helps to quiet the mind and block out distractions;positive suggestions: in this relaxed state, positive suggestions related to sleep are introduced. These might include affirmations like "I am relaxed and ready for sleep" or visualizations of a peaceful sleeping environment;reinforcement: the suggestions can be repeated or reinforced during the session, helping to create a mental association between the relaxed state and the ability to fall asleep easily;awakening: after the session, the individual is gently brought back to full awareness, often feeling refreshed and more open to the suggestions made during hypnosis. 
    By incorporating these techniques, hypnosis can help alleviate insomnia, reduce anxiety, and promote a more restful sleep.

    Practice the Pause - Jesus'...

    These days, many of us live in a state of overreactive fight-or-flight response and chronic stress. The demands of modern life pull us in all directions and can often put the meaningful connections in our lives at risk—connections to our deepest selves, to others, and even to God. 
     
     
     
    But there is good news. New developments in brain science have recently proven that an intentional practice of pausing for a few minutes of meditation, prayer, or other contemplative practice actually rewires our brain in ways that make us calmer, less reactive, and better able to see the bigger picture. 
     
     
     
    In Practice the Pause, spiritual director and writer Caroline Oakes offers easy-to-understand explanations of how this new brain science is confirming what every spiritual tradition has been telling us for millennia: by practicing the pause, we become more self-aware and better able to understand others. We become more "God aware." With a refreshing focus on the Eastern Christian understanding of Jesus as a master of wisdom, Oakes shines a spotlight on Jesus's own centering pause practice as a transformative path for personal and social change. We learn that even a seven-second pause practice can move us beyond the fight-or-flight responses of our ego in our daily lives and actually equip us to cultivate the common good in the world.
