Maison d'édition: Good Press

Synopsis

George Grote's "History of Greece" (Volumes 1-12) is a monumental scholarly work that chronicles the political, cultural, and social evolution of Greece from its earliest days to the decline of classical civilization. Grote blends rigorous historical analysis with a narrative style that vividly reconstructs significant events and figures, imbuing the text with both scholarly precision and literary elegance. Addressing themes such as democracy, culture, and imperialism, Grote situates ancient Greek history within the broader scope of Western civilization, making his work not only a history of a nation but also a foundation for understanding the political ideologies that would shape modern democracies. Born into a prosperous family in England, Grote's exposure to the classics and philology shaped his intellectual pursuits. His extensive travels throughout Greece, coupled with his engagement in the Whig political movement, informed his belief in democracy and liberal thought, which resonate throughout his historical examination. His commitment to accessibility in scholarly works reflects his desire to democratize knowledge and place history within the grasp of the broader public. "History of Greece" is essential for scholars, students, and general readers alike, providing a comprehensive insight into the complexities of Greco-Roman culture and its enduring influence on contemporary society. Esteemed not only for its academic rigor but also for its compelling storytelling, Grote'Äôs history offers an indispensable lens through which to explore the foundations of modern civilization.

Brain Addicted and Deep Psychology

Jim Colajuta

Addiction is a treatable, chronic medical disorder that involves intricate connections between brain circuits, genetics, the environment, and a person's life experiences. Addicts utilize substances or participate in obsessive behaviors, which they frequently continue despite negative consequences. Many, but not all, people begin using drugs or engaging in an activity voluntarily. Addiction, on the other hand, can take over and impair self-control. People suffering from addiction lose control over their activities. They want and pursue drugs, alcohol, or other substances at any cost, even destroying friendships, harming family, or losing employment. A healthy brain encourages healthy behaviors such as exercise, eating, and socializing with loved ones. It accomplishes this by activating brain circuits that make you feel great, urging you to repeat those activities.On the other hand, when you're in danger, a healthy brain prompts your body to react rapidly with dread or alarm, allowing you to escape from harm's path. If you're tempted to do something questionable, such as eat ice cream before dinner or buy the stuff you can't afford, the front regions of your brain can help you evaluate if the consequences are worth it. However, when you become hooked on a substance, the typical hardwiring of beneficial brain functions can start to operate against you. Drugs or alcohol can alter your brain's pleasure/reward pathways and trap you into wanting more and more. Addiction can also activate your emotional danger-sensing circuits, causing you to feel nervous and tense even when you aren't using drugs or alcohol.While standard psychology sees addiction as a brain condition, depth psychology sees addiction as an internal psychic process, a calling that unites the soul and ego. This book delves deeply into addiction as a psychic phenomenon. The study proposes a way for recovery, based on the Bible and the tale of Exodus, by transforming the mentality from servitude to freedom.
