Sinossi

Mythical Geography embarks on a captivating journey to uncover the real-world inspirations behind fabled locations. It investigates how geographical phenomena, historical events, and ancient cultures may have given rise to enduring myths like Atlantis, El Dorado, and the Garden of Eden. The book uniquely combines the disciplines of history, earth sciences, and geography to explore these connections, revealing how early civilizations perceived and interpreted their surroundings.

 
Did you know, for instance, that the legend of Atlantis may have roots in actual volcanic eruptions or geological events? Or that tales of El Dorado could be linked to early explorations of South America and the perception of its resources? The book examines a range of mythical places, from well-known examples to lesser-known tales such as Thule and Agartha, drawing on historical accounts, archaeological discoveries, and geological records.

 
It argues that many celebrated mythical geographies are not pure invention but are rooted in or influenced by real-world locations. By exploring these connections, the book offers a fresh perspective on cultural history, environmental perception, and the interplay between human imagination and the physical world. The book progresses by first introducing the core concept, then exploring well-known mythical locations, and finally delving into lesser-known examples from various cultures.

Ethical and Social Philosophers...

Hector Davidson

This book contains ideas and thoughts from these philosophers:
- Martha Nussbaum: At the heart of Nussbaum’s intellectual journey is the development of the capabilities approach, a framework she co-created with economist Amartya Sen. This approach is centered on the idea that justice should be evaluated based on individuals’ abilities to function and achieve various important life goals, rather than simply on income or wealth. The capabilities approach emphasizes human dignity and focuses on the conditions that allow people to live lives they have reason to value. It challenges traditional views of social justice by broadening the scope of what constitutes a flourishing life beyond mere economic success.
- Peter Singer: Peter Singer is one of the most influential philosophers in contemporary ethics, known for his contributions to utilitarianism, animal rights, global poverty, bioethics, and environmental ethics. His ethical philosophy is grounded in the principle of utilitarianism, which holds that the right course of action is the one that produces the greatest overall happiness or well-being. Singer’s work is characterized by a practical, results-oriented approach, focusing on how ethical principles can be applied to real-world issues to alleviate suffering and promote well-being. His influential works, such as Animal Liberation and The Life You Can Save, challenge readers to consider the moral implications of their actions in a variety of contexts, from how they treat animals to how they engage with global poverty.

Discordance - The Troubled...

Jim Baggott

The troubled history of the Hubble constant told in an authoritative, comprehensible, and entertaining manner
In 1927 Georges Lemaître argued that our universe is expanding, a conclusion rendered more startling by the astronomical data that backed it up, presented two years later by Edwin Hubble. The speed of this expansion is governed by Hubble's constant, and Discordance tells its troubled history.
This unpredictable and fascinating story begins with the first tentative steps to measure the distances to nearby stars and galaxies. It traces the extraordinary interplay between cosmological theory and astronomical observation which has given us the standard Big Bang theory. It was not all plain sailing, and the narrative takes us through the discovery of dark matter, the Hubble Wars of the 1970s, the invention of cosmic inflation, and other crucial scientific moments. Further satellite missions were expected to add to the clarity of our measurements. But from about 2009 onward, the results began to diverge. This is the Hubble tension and perhaps even a crisis.
Jim Baggott clearly and entertainingly guides the reader through this gripping scientific voyage—one littered with crises of confidence, astonishing discoveries, and extraordinary personalities—which still continues today.
"Accessible, highly detailed and demanding—and therefore highly rewarding— … Baggott's well-researched work will be of as much interest to astronomers and physicists as it is to lay readers fascinated by the mysteries of the Universe."— Helge Kragh, Nature
