Sinopsis

Ancient Beasts explores the fascinating intersection of paleontology, mythology, and folklore, arguing that ancient myths may be rooted in the discovery of prehistoric creatures' fossilized remains. The book unveils how early humans, lacking modern scientific understanding, creatively interpreted these findings, incorporating "ancient beasts" into their cultural narratives. For example, legends of giants across various cultures might stem from the discovery of giant fossilized bones. The book investigates the science behind paleontology, including fossilization and dating techniques. It also examines global mythological traditions, identifying recurring motifs of monstrous beings. Structured in three parts, Ancient Beasts progresses from introducing basic concepts to analyzing case studies and drawing broader conclusions about the relationship between prehistoric life and human imagination. Discover how discoveries of fossils influenced the origins of mythology and our enduring fascination with the unknown.

    The Tao Te Ching is a Taoist philosophical treatise. Lao Tzu, a great Ancient Chinese philosopher and teacher, is considered to be the author of this book. We owe this book to an unnamed guardian who kept safe the far western borders of a country, Zhou in the fifth century BC. The legend says that exhausted from misunderstanding Teacher with a tired heart went on his last journey – to die in a dessert. The guardian recognized great Lao Tzu, called him by name and, nobody knows how, persuaded the wise man to tell a world about Dao and De. "When you said Dao, you said nothing", the teacher replied. And you were wrong: five thousand words, that contains this book, have been existing for two and a half thousand years...

    The Sutra of 42 Chapters is a scripture complied in the first century CE.  Each saying comes from Buddha, but the whole work was a new anthology created especially for introducing Buddhism in a new country. That's why it makes such a good, basic introduction to the world view of Gautam Buddha. 
    It is very simple in its approach, very direct. It is, in essence the whole of Buddha's message, but very simple, not elaborate and very scholarly as other Buddhist scriptures are.
    Osho extracts the kernel of Buddha's profound insight and understanding and presents his everlasting message to the contemporary listener in a manner that is lucid, straightforward and humorous. Far from being just a statue, here Buddha is an amazing human being so far ahead of his time that even now he is only just beginning to be more widely understood.
    In these talks Osho discusses the need for doubt and argument in the spiritual search, the nature of desire and the discipline of non-attachment.
    The talks in this audiobook are a series of original OSHO Talks, titled "The Discipline of Transcendence, Vol.2".

    This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice. What if artists don't create art? What if they discover it? 
    For centuries, we've believed that creativity begins inside the human mind. 
     
    "The Art Dimension" challenges that belief with a bold new idea: art is not invented, it already exists. Great artists, musicians, architects, writers, and creators do not create from nothing. They become channels through which a hidden creative dimension enters the world. 
     
    In this groundbreaking book, architect and author Moshe Katz introduces a revolutionary new theory of creativity, showing that inspiration is not random, talent is not enough, and the greatest works of art emerge when we learn to receive rather than control. 
     
    Combining art, philosophy, architecture, psychology, spirituality, music, and the future of artificial intelligence, this book offers a completely new way of understanding creativity and human potential. 
     
    You'll discover: 
    • Why true creativity begins before ideas appear. 
    • How inspiration can become a daily practice. 
    • Why silence, intuition, music, and imagination are gateways to creation. 
    • What AI can never replace in human creativity. 
    • How to unlock deeper originality by becoming more receptive instead of trying harder. 
     
    This book is for artists, writers, architects, designers, musicians, entrepreneurs, educators, innovators, students, and anyone who wants to think more creatively and live a more inspired life. 
     
    Whether you create buildings, businesses, books, paintings, or ideas, "|The Art Dimension" will transform the way you understand creativity forever. 
     
    You will stop asking, *"What should I create?" 
    And begin asking the question that changes everything: 
    What is waiting to appear through me?"

    One of the most brilliantly original of American pragmatists, George Herbert Mead published surprisingly few major papers and not a single book during his lifetime. Yet his influence on American sociology and social psychology since World War II has been exceedingly strong. 
     
    This volume is a revised and enlarged edition of the book formerly published under the title The Social Psychology of George Herbert Mead. It contains selections from Mead’s posthumous books: Mind, Self, and Society; Movements of Thought in the Nineteenth Century; The Philosophy of the Act; and The Philosophy of the Present, together with an incisive, newly revised, introductory essay by Anselm Strauss on the importance of Mead for contemporary social psychology.

    Can messiness make our cities more liveable, lively, and inclusive? 
    Crowded streets, sidewalk vendors, jumbled architecture, constant clamour, graffitied walls, parks gone wild: are these signs of a poorly managed city or indicators of urban vitality? 
    Messy Cities: Why We Can’t Plan Everything argues that spontaneity and urban workarounds are not liabilities but essential elements in all thriving cities. 
    Forty-three essays by a range of writers from around the world illuminate the role of messy urbanism in enabling creativity, enterprise, and grassroots initiatives to flourish within dense modern cities. 
    With pieces on guerrilla beaches, desire lines, urban interruptions, and the inner lives of unlovely buildings written by experts from all walks of life, Messy Cities makes the case for embracing disorder while not shying away from confronting its challenges.
