Sinopsis

In "Myths of Greece and Rome," Jane Harrison masterfully intertwines rich narrative and scholarly insight to explore the tapestry of ancient mythologies that have shaped Western thought. Employing a vivid, accessible style, Harrison delves into the essential themes of creation, heroism, and the human condition as presented in classical myths. The work highlights the interconnectedness of these ancient stories, placing them within a broader cultural and historical context that emphasizes their enduring relevance. Harrison's nuanced analysis reveals both the parallels and divergences unique to Greek and Roman mythologies, making this volume a vital resource for both casual readers and scholars alike. Jane Harrison, an esteemed historian and writer known for her prowess in mythology, brings her extensive background in folklore and classical studies to this provocative examination. Her previous works have underscored the importance of myth as a lens through which we can better understand societal values and human psychology across cultures. Drawing from her expertise, Harrison's insights are deeply informed by the socio-political landscapes of the ancient world, allowing her to present these myths not merely as stories, but as reflections of their time. This book is highly recommended for anyone interested in the origins of Western civilization, mythology enthusiasts, and those seeking to appreciate the complexities of storytelling across cultures. Harrison's blend of scholarship and narrative invites readers to journey through time, sparking a renewed curiosity about these ancient tales and their implications for modern life.

    This collection of essays brings together an international group of scholars who discuss various facets of the American South in popular culture, literature, the arts, and throughout history. It includes reflections on place, on the importance of memory in shaping individual identity, and on race, class and gender. All the contributions confirm Howard's Zinn's idea that the South "is not damnable, but marvelously useful, as a mirror in which the nation can see its blemishes magnified, so that it will hurry to correct them." This volume sheds light on the "marvelous" sides of the South though it does not overlook its darker ones, thus making it possible to better understand this peculiar region.

    Populism is a growing threat to human rights. They are appropriated, distorted, turned into empty words or even their opposite. The contributors to this volume examine these practices using the example of freedom of religion or belief, a human right that has become a particular target of right-wing populists and extremists worldwide. The contributions not only show the rhetorical patterns of appropriation and distortion, but also demonstrate for various countries which social dynamics favor the appropriation in each case and propose how to strengthen human rights and the culture of debate in democratic societies.

I was looking for a book to recommend to parents of children I assess and teach. I wasn't expecting to learn much from the book because I'm a specialist in this field. I was wrong! Beth presents interesting statistics about dyslexia and how it can impact people in society. She explores different ways you can explain dyslexia to anyone of any age using the octopus theory! I highly recommend this book to parents, teachers, specialists and anyone who would like to educate themselves about dyslexia!"

I read articles, research papers and other books, but none have really explained to me so well the many "whys?" and what I need to know about my child." Amazon review.

    A military operation unlike any other on American soil, Morgan's Raid was characterized by incredible speed, superhuman endurance, and innovative tactics. One of the nation's most colorful leaders, Confederate general John Hunt Morgan, took his cavalry through enemy-occupied territory in three states in one of the longest offensives of the Civil War. The effort produced the only battles fought north of the Ohio River and reached farther north than any other regular Confederate force. Morgan's Raid historian David L. Mowery takes a new look at this unprecedented event in American history, one historians rank among the world's greatest land-based raids since Elizabethan times.
