  Luis Armstrong's trumpet is buried undeground, so is a blackened fingernail from a Hiroshima survivor. And who would think that one of Cher's dresses would be buried as well as a script for Gone With The Wind. And then there are the items deliberately sent into space as well as accidental burials and sunken ships. All these and more are described in this Time Capsule journey, aided by atmospheric music and sound effects.

  Letters from a Stoic Made Simple...

  Everyday Stoicism

  You keep seeing Seneca quoted in podcasts, posts and pep talks, and every quote sounds like it was written for your week. Then you open the letters themselves and hit two thousand years of Roman names, patrons and provinces, and the wisdom slips away.
  
  This unofficial companion walks you through the twenty or so letters that still matter, in plain modern language. Each chapter starts inside a scene from Seneca's own turbulent life as an exiled senator, imperial tutor and reluctant courtier, then brings the idea into an ordinary day at work, in traffic, at a funeral, in an argument you did not want. You get his thinking on time and the shortness of life, on grief, anger, friendship, money and the fear of death, and one usable practice at the end of every chapter. Seneca's text is not included; quoted lines come from public-domain translations or plain paraphrase.
  
  By the end you will know what Seneca actually said, and what to do with it. Press play and start with the letter on time.

  JRR Tolkien and CS Lewis: The...

  For more than half a century, the name J.R.R. Tolkien has been synonymous with epic fantasy. Known across the world for his classic The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings trilogy, Tolkien both revived interest in fantasy literature and set the standard for the genre. Today he is widely acknowledged as the “Father” of modern fantasy and its most famous author. While Tolkien made Middle Earth famous and vice-versa, his works were influenced by a lifetime of his own personal experiences. His tales concern creatures of myth, yet the plot lines and characters are human at heart. Tolkien drew his inspiration from war, nature, history, love, and language, and through the lens of fantasy he examined bravery, loyalty and friendship. That essential “humanness” at the core of his writing, whether it was displayed by a man, hobbit, or even a tree, struck a chord with readers that continues to resonate today. The Hobbit has been released in more than 40 languages, and The Lord of the Rings has sold more than 150 million copies.   
  Tolkien and C.S. Lewis were good friends before the peaks of their careers, meeting together at Oxford’s University College to read and discuss the unfinished works of the members. Although they discussed readings, they were in essence literary enthusiasts who gathered to celebrate writing and literature, especially fantasy. The Inklings were both important and informal. “Properly speaking, the Inklings was neither a club nor a literary society, though it partook of the nature of both,” said Warren Lewis, a member of the group who also happened to be C.S. Lewis’ older brother. “There were no rules, officers, agendas, or formal elections.” It was a place to simply talk of new ideas and literature in an environment that embraced fantasy, and one of the new ideas was that of mythopoeia, or creating mythology to go along with fiction.

  Across the Plains in the Donner...

  The story of the Donner Party is very much the story of James F. Reed's family, not simply because the Reeds were prominent members, but because they left much documentary evidence: diaries, memoirs, correspondence, and letters written en route and interviews shortly after the disaster. 
   
  The adopted daughter of Reed, Virginia Reed Murphy's memoir is a noteworthy recounting of the Donner party disaster and its gruesome end. Her writing is sprightly, informal, and full of human interest.

  Since the dawn of humanity, man has believed that he, the earth beneath his feet, and the heavens above are the creation of a single, all-powerful being. To this entity, he owes homage, despite being unable to see it until after death. While this belief persisted for many, others began to question, disbelieve, or grow indifferent. Some argue that no one has returned to confirm or deny these beliefs. But what if someone did come back, and He shared profound truths? In Disbelief in God, we explore the question that has haunted mankind for millennia: where does the truth lie?
