Sinopsis

In "History of the Phoenician Civilization," George Rawlinson meticulously unravels the intricate tapestry of Phoenician society, exploring its significant contributions to trade, culture, and the evolution of written language in the ancient Mediterranean world. Employing a narrative style that beautifully marries scholarly rigor with accessible prose, Rawlinson situates the Phoenicians within the broader context of ancient history, deftly analyzing their interactions with neighboring civilizations such as the Egyptians and Greeks. The work is distinguished by its comprehensive use of archaeological evidence alongside classical texts, thereby enriching our understanding of a culture often overshadowed by its more dominant contemporaries. George Rawlinson, a prominent historian and philologist of the 19th century, was deeply influenced by his extensive study of ancient Near Eastern scripts and historical contexts. His familiarity with classical authors and dedication to accuracy promote a nuanced portrayal of the Phoenicians, shedding light on their complexities as seafarers, traders, and innovators. Rawlinson's passion for history is evident in his painstaking research, which aims not only to document the Phoenicians but to foster an appreciation for their enduring legacy. Readers interested in ancient civilizations and the foundations of Western culture will find Rawlinson's work an invaluable resource. With its balanced blend of historical detail and engaging narrative, "History of the Phoenician Civilization" invites scholars and casual readers alike to explore the richness of a civilization that laid the groundwork for contemporary trade and commerce. This book stands as a testament to the Phoenicians' pivotal role in shaping the ancient world, making it a crucial addition to any serious historical library.

    Brown noise could be described as the intense sound of a jet engine, a wind tunnel, or the sound waves make during a storm. While this type of sound might not seem like it could be relaxing, many people with ADHD find that brown noise helps them turn off their brain, relax or focus.ADHD stands for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. A person with ADHD has differences in brain development and brain activity that affect attention, the ability to sit still, and self-control.Teens and adults with ADHD actually need more "noise" to reach optimal cognitive functioning than people who don't have ADHD. This may seem counterintuitive, considering that individuals with ADHD struggle to focus and relax. But because brown noise plays lower frequencies at a higher sound level, the brain registers the sound as similar to its resting state.Many individuals with ADHD find that brown noise in particular is helpful for tapping into that sense of calm and focus they so desperately need. Some have described brown noise as a weighted blanket for their brain. This could mean that brown noise soothes the person with ADHD by calming the nervous system and restoring brain wave functioning to a neutral baseline.Brown noise is a sound that is played louder at a lower frequency. This supports rest, calmness, and relaxation because it's similar to the resting state of the brain. Parents of babies are often advised to make brown noise playlists for their children to help them fall asleep because this frequency is similar to the sounds they hear in their mother's womb.WHAT YOU GET:Our 12 hours brown noise audiobook!1.

  • Of Consolation - To Marcia To Helvia To Polybius - cover

    Of Consolation - To Marcia To...

    Seneca the Younger

    These three ‘Consolations’, written by Seneca to his mother and two friends, have been described as ‘the crowning achievement in the canon of ‘consolation letters’. But sentimental they are not, for they emerge from the writer’s deep-seated commitment to Stoicism, where individuals are exhorted to inhabit qualities of virtue, positivity, resilience, and indifference. This recording opens with Seneca’s consolatory letter to Marcia, who, after three years, was still mourning the death of her son. He recognises her exceptional personal qualities and what benefits she has brought to her family, having rescued her father’s legacy as a historian following his death. He cites other noble Roman mothers who lost their sons, and enjoins her to adopt a more Stoic attitude of mind: we are all destined to die, he declares.  
    The second letter is to his mother sent after he had been exiled to Corsica by Emperor Caligula. He counsels Helvia not to mourn his absence – not least because he himself does not feel grief at the prospect of his own exile. He acknowledges the trials of his mother during her life, remarking ‘ill-fortune has given you no respite’. But her grief at the absence of her son may be put to one side in the knowledge that as he has ‘never trusted in Fortune,’ she can be comforted that her son is not discommoded. And history points to far harsher separations.  
    The final letter is to Polybius, Emperor Claudius’s Literary Secretary, who was mourning his brother.  Written while in exile, Seneca’s unwavering commitment to Stoic philosophy is again in evidence. One of Seneca’s principal suggestions is for Polybius to distract himself from grief by an increasing involvement in work.  
    These ‘Consolations’ have been widely admired from Classical times to the present, but are periodically questioned for their emphasis on a somewhat detached approach to grief and bereavement. Not all can manage imperturbability in such circumstances. Nevertheless, there is a steadiness and emotional calm in these missives, which Seneca himself displayed when ordered to commit suicide by Emperor Nero.

    A Confession

    A Confession - an essay by Leo Tolstoy on his religious thoughts - shows the great author in process of looking for answers to profound questions that trouble all who take them on: 'What will come of my life?' and 'What is the meaning of life?'.
    
    In the course of this essay, Tolstoy attempts to find answers to the greatest questions of philosophy through science, philosophy, eastern wisdom, and the opinions of his fellow novelists. Finding no workable solution in any of these, Tolstoy recognizes the deep religious convictions of ordinary people as containing the key to true answers. The first attempt at its publication took place in 1882, but Tolstoy's work was removed from the journal by the Orthodox Church. The text was later published in Geneva in 1884 and in Russia as late as 1906.
