  • Heraclitus - Ancient Philosophy and the Flux of Existence - cover

    Heraclitus - Ancient Philosophy...

    Heraclitus of Ephesus, a pre-Socratic philosopher who lived in the 6th century BCE, remains one of the most enigmatic figures in the history of Western thought. Known for his cryptic sayings and profound insights into the nature of reality, Heraclitus' ideas have had a lasting influence on philosophy, science, and the arts. His philosophy, often centered around the concept of change, emphasized that everything in existence is in a constant state of flux. This view is encapsulated in one of his most famous quotes: "You cannot step into the same river twice." For Heraclitus, the essence of life and the universe lies in this unceasing transformation, where stability and change are not opposing forces but interconnected aspects of existence. 
    At the core of Heraclitus' thought is his doctrine of "flux", which asserts that everything is in a perpetual state of becoming rather than being. This contrasts sharply with other pre-Socratic philosophers like Parmenides, who held that change was illusory and that true reality was unchanging and eternal. Heraclitus, however, rejected this view and instead argued that change is not only inevitable but also necessary for the very existence of the cosmos. To him, the dynamic interplay between opposing forces—such as life and death, hot and cold, light and dark—was the fundamental structure of reality. These dualities, far from being contradictions, were essential for the creation and maintenance of order in the universe.

    The first biography of a pioneering scientist who made significant contributions to our understanding of dark matter and championed the advancement of women in science. 
     
     
     
    In Vera Rubin: A Life, prolific science writers Jacqueline Mitton and Simon Mitton provide a detailed, accessible overview of Rubin's work, showing how she leveraged immense curiosity, profound intelligence, and novel technologies to help transform our understanding of the cosmos. But Rubin's impact was not limited to her contributions to scientific knowledge. She also helped to transform scientific practice by promoting the careers of women researchers. Not content to be an inspiration, Rubin was a mentor and a champion. She advocated for hiring women faculty, inviting women speakers to major conferences, and honoring women with awards that were historically the exclusive province of men. 
     
     
     
    Rubin's papers and correspondence yield vivid insights into her life and work, as she faced down gender discrimination and met the demands of family and research throughout a long and influential career. Deftly written, with both scientific experts and general readers in mind, Vera Rubin is a portrait of a woman with insatiable curiosity about the universe who never stopped asking questions and encouraging other women to do the same.

    Buckle Up, Pilgrim: Take a ride into the Heart of Faith with John Bunyan  If you're looking for a comfortable, easy listen, this ain't it. John Bunyan's words are a fire that'll burn away the fluff and leave you standing face-to-face with the raw truth of your own soul.  Think about it: Have you ever believed in something so fiercely that you'd risk everything for it? Your freedom? Your life? That's what Bunyan did. He, and countless others like him, were labeled rebels, outcasts, even heretics. They were jailed, persecuted, some even killed. All because they dared to stand up for their faith.  And guess what? The ripple effects of their fight for freedom reached far beyond their own shores. The Pilgrims who landed on Plymouth Rock? They were part of the same movement that Bunyan championed: the Puritans. Their courage not only laid the groundwork for religious liberty in America but also inspired countless others around the world to stand up for their own right to worship freely.  This audiobook isn't just some dusty old relic. It's a collection of Bunyan's writings, penned in a cold, damp prison cell. As I read his words, I felt like I was right there with him, sharing his struggles, his hopes, his unwavering faith.  Let me be frank, I expected this audiobook to be dry, maybe even a little boring. I mean; the audiobook is over 350 years old, and it's got "thees" and "thous" in it! But Bunyan's words hit me like a lightning bolt. They're raw, they're real, and they speak to the deepest parts of the human heart.  How could a man locked away for his beliefs write with such passion, such love? What drove him? What made him tick? That's what we're going to discover together.  We're going to dive deep into Bunyan's world, exploring the timeless themes of sin, salvation, and the relentless love of God. We'll confront the darkness within ourselves, but we won't stay there. Bunyan will lead us to the foot of the cross, where grace and forgiveness flow freely.  Get ready for a wild ride. Bunyan's words will challenge you, inspire you, and maybe even shake you to your core. But if you're willing to take this journey, you'll come out the other side transformed.  So, are you ready? Let's walk this pilgrim's path together.  From Dungeons to Glory: A New Look at the Classics  This audiobook is part of a series titled From Dungeons to Glory, which features the writings of Christian authors who were imprisoned for their faith. The first two books in the series are Pilgrim on God and Salvation and Pilgrim on the Path to Eternity. Together, these books were originally published by Jeremiah Chaplin as The Riches of Bunyan as Selected from His Works.  I hope you'll join me on this journey through Bunyan's timeless words. May they bring you closer to God and help you live a life of faith, hope, and love.

    'Be careful what you wish for,' wrote Aesop, 'lest it come true.' Debra Dank had long been desperate to visit the National Archives, to paint a fuller picture of her family, to add flesh to the name-bones and the few precious stories she possessed. What she discovered would shatter everything she thought she knew about her family and her past.She had been aware of her father's five siblings, some of whom had died before she could come to know them, but there were always whispers and gaps and silences. Certainly, her parents had experiences that affected how Debra grew up, but hers seemed to be one of the very few Aboriginal families who had escaped having children stolen, who had viewed this horror from a seemingly safer distance. But the information she uncovered revealed that her paternal grandmother had given birth to ten children. Four had been taken from her.Ankami is written from the perspective of those left behind, those who search always for the faces of stolen and lost Aboriginal children, now known only through a few cruel, thoughtless words written by a violent pastoral manager and a paternalistic colonial administrator, a footnote in a yellowed letter.This is a story about absences and the secrets that come with them, about unknown but somehow still present family. It is a story about what those speaking silences may be trying to tell as families sit around fires at night or celebrate together at a festive table. It is a story about the lost opportunity to grow with aunts and dads, the knowledge not shared and learned, the memories not made and a love that must remain one-sided and yearning.Ankami is a book like no other, a searing, unforgettable and deeply human account of sorrow and incomprehensible loss, and the essential power of memory.
