Sinopsis

"Holy Beasts" explores the profound connection between animals and the spiritual realm across diverse cultures and throughout history. It examines how animal symbolism and animal archetypes have shaped religious beliefs, from ancient animal veneration to modern perspectives on animal rights and environmental ethics. Discover how the powerful bull, the cunning serpent, and other sacred animals have influenced human spirituality.

 
The book investigates the origins of animal veneration, tracing it back to early human societies. It also identifies recurring animal archetypes in religions, analyzing their symbolic meanings and narratives. By drawing upon historical accounts, anthropological studies, and religious texts, "Holy Beasts" proposes that the veneration of animals reflects a fundamental human desire to connect with forces beyond ourselves.

 
The book begins by introducing core concepts of animal symbolism and religious beliefs. It then progresses through thematic chapters, exploring animals as symbols of power, messengers, and even negative forces. This exploration culminates in a discussion of contemporary issues, such as animal rights and environmental ethics, in light of these historical and religious perspectives. This holistic approach makes it accessible to a broad audience.

    A riveting journey down Theodore Roosevelt's "river of doubt" with a diverse crew of adventurers, scientists, and Indigenous leaders who shine light on the past, present, and future of a natural wonder.Sam Moses took part in the adventure of a lifetime when he, along with seventeen men and two women, embarked on the Rio Roosevelt Expedition. They would follow the former president's wake down five-hundred miles of extreme whitewater into the dark heart of the Amazon. The party was guided by two chiefs from the Cinta Larga tribe—the same tribe that stalked Roosevelt's expedition in 1914—who, between rapids, tell the story of the tribe's own Trail of Tears.After the wildest whitewater is past, Moses travels with the chiefs to their village to witness the massive illegal mahogany logging from their forest, the Roosevelt Indigenous Territory. River Without a Cause puts us in the raft during those heart pounding rapid descents, as we experience the drama, dynamics, and disputes between the Bull Moose and his coleader, Brazil's most famous explorer, the rigid Colonel Candido Rondon. As the Amazon stands on the precipice of hope with the election of a new Brazilian president, River Without a Cause is a moving and galvanizing tale of adventure that is a fitting tribute to this world wonder.
