Synopsis

Rivers hold a revered place across cultures, serving as more than just water sources. Sacred Rivers explores the religious significance of these waterways throughout history, revealing their roles in spiritual cleansing, renewal, and as symbols of divine power. The book investigates how rivers have shaped religious practices and beliefs worldwide. For example, the Ganges in Hinduism is not merely a river but a goddess, and its waters are believed to purify sins.

 
The book progresses by first introducing the concept of sacred spaces and the role of rivers in various religious traditions. It then delves into specific case studies such as the Ganges, the Jordan River in Christianity, and the Nile in ancient Egyptian religion, analyzing their mythological, ritualistic, and ethical dimensions. These rivers are central to foundational religious narratives.

 
Approaching the topic with a multidisciplinary lens, Sacred Rivers integrates religious studies with environmental ethics, highlighting the need for environmental conservation.

 
The book concludes by examining contemporary challenges facing sacred rivers, such as pollution and climate change, and how religious traditions can contribute to their preservation.

    Nick Emler, Emeritus Professor of Psychology, University of Surrey 
    Social organization creates power. The personalities of those who manage this power are fundamental to understanding what goes on in organizations. Robert Hogan brings his unparalleled mastery of personality psychology together with a deep understanding of the ways that evolution has shaped us to explain why and how. Anyone who inhabits an organization—and, one way or another, that is all of us—and wishes to make sense of this experience should read this book. 
    David Funder, Distinguished Professor of Psychology, University of California, Riverside 
    This book is a witty, wise, succinct, and persuasive account of the importance of personality, leadership, and the central role of organizations in human life. It is full of useful information and advice for managers and for anyone who has ever been managed, which is pretty much everybody. The ratio of wisdom gained to time spent on this little book makes it a great investment. 
    Adrian Furnham, Author and Professor of Psychology, BI Norwegian Business School 
    I have read many and written a few, but none even slightly compares with this one. There are five reasons for this. First, the author is both a (distinguished) academic and a practitioner. Second, he is a very well-read, serious polymath who moves effortlessly between classics, economics, philosophy, and psychology. Third, he courageously takes issue, where he sees fit, with vacuous trends, business gobbledygook, and evidence-free assertions. Fourth, he has the rare and most desirable habit of cutting through the Gordian knot of theories. Fifth, he writes (very) well: the book is a page-turner and also a serious reference work. I would love to have had these skills myself.

    In the Socrates Meets series, Peter Kreeft revives the classic method of bringing philosophy to life through dialogue. In eight innovative volumes, he uncovers the principles, assumptions, and sometimes dangerous conclusions of some of history’s most influential minds.  Each dialogue imagines a purgatory where we can listen in on conversations between Socrates and the great thinkers who, centuries later, picked up the philosopher’s torch. Each conversation investigates one of the philosopher’s key works, a short, readable classic that raises central questions both for philosophy and for life. In this volume, Socrates cross-examines Jean-Paul Sartre, the father of existentialism and author of Existentialism and Human Emotions, exploring human identity, atheism, morality, and meaning.

    'Most of us love places very much as we may love what, for us, are the distinguished men of our social lives. [...] We are, all of us who are Londoners, paying visits of greater or less duration to a Personality that, whether we love it or very cordially hate it, fascinates us all.  And, paying my visit, I have desired to give some such record.I have tried to make it anything rather than encyclopaedic, topographical, or archaeological.  To use a phrase of literary slang I have tried to "get the atmosphere" of modern London -- of the town in which I have passed so many days; of the immense place that has been the background for so many momentous happenings to so many of my fellows.' - Summary by Ford Madox Ford, from the Introductory; 1905.

    "The Comanche Perspective" illuminates one of the most infamous events in early Texas history—the Council House Fight. Traditionally portrayed through a narrow, one-sided lens, this book challenges the conventional narrative by exploring the complex web of cultural misunderstandings and mounting tensions between the Penateka Comanche and the Texians. Drawing on diverse perspectives and in-depth research, it reveals how mutual distrust and hostility led to the tragic clash on March 19, 1840. By shedding light on the shared responsibilities and deep-seated grievances that fueled this violent encounter, "The Comanche Perspective" provides a fresh and balanced understanding of a crucial moment in the history of the American frontier.
