Sinopse

In "Studies in Greek Scenery, Legend and History," James George Frazer embarks on an intellectual journey through the rich tapestry of ancient Greece, blending vivid description with erudite analysis. This collection of essays weaves together the natural beauty of the Greek landscape with its storied mythology and historical significance, reflecting Frazer's appreciation for the interplay between environment and culture. His literary style is characterized by a meticulous attention to detail, an aesthetic sensibility, and a commitment to contextualizing Greek legends within their physical and historical realities, making this work both a travelogue and an academic treatise. Frazer, renowned for his pioneering work in anthropology and comparative religion, was deeply influenced by his classical education and his extensive travels through Greece. His firsthand experiences in these ancient locales allowed him to explore the connections between physical sites and the myths they inspired. This pursuit reflects Frazer's broader intellectual preoccupation with the development of human thought across cultures, as he sought to unravel the layers of meaning embedded within tradition and folklore. Readers interested in the intersection of geography, myth, and history will find "Studies in Greek Scenery, Legend and History" to be an indispensable addition to their literary repertoire. Frazer's insightful observations not only illuminate the cultural heritage of Greece but also provoke contemplation about the enduring impact of legend on the human experience, making it a compelling read for both casual audiences and serious scholars alike.

    Fresh back from his European tour, Dr. Hunter Cage prepares for what should be a relaxing trip in the great outdoors.

So imagine the doctor's surprise when his quickie from the woods shows up at his office hungry for more. 
    Dr. Cage wonders if he'll ever fulfill more than sexual desire with a partner when he intakes Austin, who looks even better in person than he does on paper. Their connection is DEEP. Their sex? EPIC. But when a video of their first time together somehow leaks online Hunter worries he may lose the only man he's connected with in a long time.

    Princess Bernice Pauahi Bishop was the largest landowner and richest woman in the Hawaiian kingdom. Upon her death in 1884, she entrusted her property--known as Bishop Estate--to five trustees in order to create and maintain an institution that would benefit the children of Hawai‘i: Kamehameha Schools. A century later, Bishop Estate controlled nearly one out of every nine acres in the state, a concentration of private land ownership rarely seen anywhere in the world. Then in August 1997 the unthinkable happened: Four revered kupuna (native Hawaiian elders) and a professor of trust law publicly charged Bishop Estate trustees with gross incompetence and massive trust abuse. Entitled "Broken Trust," the statement provided devastating details of rigged appointments, violated trusts, cynical manipulation of the trust's beneficiaries, and the shameful involvement of many of Hawai‘i's powerful. 
    No one is better qualified to examine the events and personalities surrounding the scandal than two of the original "Broken Trust" authors. Their comprehensive account together with historical background, brings to light information that has never before been made public, including accounts of secret meetings and communications involving Supreme Court justices.
