Beschreibung

In "Memorials of Human Superstition," Jean Louis de Lolme meticulously dissects the myriad ways in which superstition has influenced human behavior and societal structures throughout history. Written in a compelling analytical style characteristic of the Enlightenment period, de Lolme uses a blend of philosophical inquiry and historical narrative to examine how irrational beliefs have shaped cultures and governance. By presenting a critical view of superstition as not merely personal but also a public concern, he situates his work within the broader intellectual context of 18th-century Enlightenment thought, making it a significant contribution to the discourse on reason versus superstition. Jean Louis de Lolme, a Swiss political thinker and historian, was profoundly impacted by the intellectual currents of his time, particularly the rise of rationalism and empirical inquiry. His experiences as an observer of various political systems likely influenced his critical examination of superstitious beliefs and their implications on civil society. De Lolme's extensive travels and engagement with diverse cultures provided him with a unique vantage point from which to scrutinize the persistence of superstition across different contexts. This book is a must-read for scholars and readers interested in the intersections of history, psychology, and philosophy. De Lolme'Äôs insights not only illuminate the persistence of irrationality in human nature but also provoke deep reflection on modern beliefs and practices. "Memorials of Human Superstition" serves as both a historical record and a cautionary tale, urging readers to recognize the often-subtle ways that superstition continues to pervade contemporary life.

    In the vast expanse of the Himalayas, hidden beneath centuries of snow and ice, lay a secret that had been buried for generations. The towering peaks, once home to monks and ancient civilizations, now shielded a dark legacy that time itself had forgotten. The truth about this forgotten legacy, however, was about to resurface, altering the course of history and threatening the very future of a nation. 
    The story began long before the world had even begun to recognize the geopolitical importance of this remote region. Ancient texts, passed down through generations of sages, spoke of a powerful device buried in the heart of the mountains. These writings, written in a language long extinct, described an artifact of unimaginable power—an object designed to protect a kingdom, but one that, if misused, could bring about devastation on an unimaginable scale. 
    Over time, the knowledge of this device faded into obscurity. Wars, invasions, and the relentless march of history erased most traces of the past. Yet, the stories never fully disappeared. They were whispered by the elders, passed along in cryptic folklore, and tucked away in the corners of forgotten libraries. But for centuries, no one believed the legends were more than myths, the wild imaginings of storytellers and mystics.

    This book is the first comprehensive overview of Javanese performing arts from their origins to their dynamic present. Renowned scholar and musician Sumarsam draws from a lifetime of immersion in both wayang and gamelan to guide readers through the concept of the "in-between," revealing how the interplay of dualisms—myth and history, sacred and secular, personal and cultural—forms the bedrock of Javanese performance. Rigorously researched historical case studies reveal the intricate relationship between histories and mythologies in Java. Wayang, accompanied by gamelan, is a multimedia performance imbued with rich historical, aesthetic, religious, and emotional associations. Sumarsam delves into this intricate, profound, and ever-evolving art form, exploring its diverse manifestations and venues, from courtly village entertainment-cum-ritual to palace-based aesthetic expressions of cultural proficiency; from coastal mercantile entrepots to the verdant wet rice terraces of Java; from colonial plantation and textile factory cultures to communities centered around contemporary industrial estates and creative economy initiatives. An essential resource for scholars, musicians, and enthusiasts of wayang and gamelan, The In-Between in Javanese Performing Arts offers an unparalleled immersion into the heart of traditional Javanese performing arts, revealing their profound impact on Javanese culture, identity, and artistic expression.

    Jewish family life is deeply rooted in tradition, values, and a strong sense of community. The family is not just a social unit but the very foundation of Jewish identity, shaping the faith, customs, and moral principles passed down through generations. Through daily practices, holidays, and shared rituals, Jewish families cultivate a home environment that nurtures both spiritual and ethical development. 
    At the core of Jewish family life is the concept of shalom bayit, or peace in the home. This principle emphasizes harmony, mutual respect, and love among family members. Parents play a crucial role in modeling these values, creating an atmosphere where kindness, patience, and understanding are prioritized. The Torah provides guidance on fostering a household filled with compassion and justice, reinforcing the idea that family is a sacred space where Jewish teachings come to life. 
    Another fundamental aspect of Jewish family life is the observance of Shabbat. The Sabbath is more than just a day of rest—it is a time for families to reconnect, reflect, and step away from the distractions of daily life. The preparation for Shabbat, including lighting the candles, reciting blessings over wine and bread, and sharing a festive meal, strengthens family bonds. Shabbat serves as a reminder of the importance of slowing down, appreciating one another, and finding holiness within the home. It is a time when parents pass down traditions and children absorb the rhythms of Jewish living.

    We are in the midst of the worst drug crisis in American history. What are we going to do about it?Around 100,000 Americans died of a drug overdose last year—nearly double the number who died in Vietnam. More than 1,000,000 have perished since 2000, thanks largely to an explosion of fentanyl and other addictive opioids. But fentanyl, abundant methamphetamine, and other lethal drugs are not the only things that are killing us: our policy is. So far, America has lacked the will to do better. That must change, and this book tells us how.No one is immune, which is why Kevin Sabet has authored this remarkable book. Sabet, dubbed the "the quarterback of the new anti-drug movement" by Salon, has spent most of his life battling the destructive effects of drugs. In One Nation Under the Influence, he asks hard questions and provides clear answers, taking listeners from the streets of San Francisco and New York to the southern border, up to Canada, and across to Europe to show how we can chart a necessary way forward. The solutions are out there, if only we have the will to apply them.
