  Jewish Food Traditions - A...

  Jewish cuisine is a rich tapestry woven from centuries of history, migration, and adaptation. Rooted in biblical traditions and shaped by the diverse cultures of the Jewish diaspora, it reflects not only religious laws but also the unique influences of the lands where Jewish communities have settled. From the ancient meals mentioned in the Torah to the diverse dishes found in Jewish homes today, the evolution of Jewish food is a story of resilience, preservation, and adaptation. 
  The origins of Jewish cuisine can be traced back to the foods consumed in biblical times. The Torah and Talmud contain numerous references to ingredients and meals that were staples of early Jewish life. Grains, olives, figs, dates, and lentils were essential components of the diet, often accompanied by goat’s milk, honey, and fish. Meat was consumed in accordance with strict kosher laws, which dictated which animals could be eaten and how they should be slaughtered and prepared. These dietary guidelines, known as kashrut, continue to define Jewish cooking and eating practices today, ensuring that food remains a fundamental part of religious and cultural identity. 
  As Jewish communities spread across the world, their cuisine was influenced by local flavors and cooking techniques. The dispersal of Jewish populations following the destruction of the Second Temple in 70 CE led to the formation of distinct culinary traditions. Ashkenazi Jews, who settled in Central and Eastern Europe, incorporated ingredients such as potatoes, cabbage, and beets, which were common in the region. Meanwhile, Sephardic Jews, who lived in Spain, North Africa, and the Middle East, embraced the bold spices, fresh herbs, and rich stews characteristic of Mediterranean and Arabic cuisines.

  Aion - Researches into the...

  C. G. Jung

  Aion is one of the major works of C.G. Jung's later years.  
   
  The title comes from the Greek word for aeon or age and refers to the age of Christianity, for, in Aion, Jung is concerned with the collective psychic development that the Christian era represents. How did it come about when it did? What psychic change did it represent? In exploring these questions, Jung (1875-1961) draws upon Christian symbolism and, in particular, the figure of Christ as a case study in the archetype of the Self.  
   
  The book begins with an account of the important concepts of the ego, the shadow and the anima/animus (here referred to as the syzygy). Jung then continues with his exploration of the Self archetype as represented through Christian symbolism and the figure of Christ. In particular, a discussion and critique of the Christian view of evil is provided. The symbolism of the fish, which recurs as a symbol of both Christ and of the devil, is examined in detail and a wide range of alchemical, pagan and gnostic material is drawn upon. The final chapter of the book proposes a model for the structure of the Self.  
   
  Aion is one of the most important volumes of the Collected Works and complements The Archetypes and the Collective Unconscious. Translated by R. F. C.Hull.

  Peak of the Devil: 100 Questions...

  What’s that peak oil thing you keep jabbering on about? 
  “Peak oil” is the phrase used to describe the point where the world’s oil supply, well, peaks. A fairly easy concept there. It’s the best we can do, and the best we will ever do, when it comes to pumping conventional crude oil out of the ground. After peak oil, it’s all downhill, production-wise. 
  Too many people think that peak oil means that the oil is going to run out, and that’s not quite right. The oil will not run out. Not ever. It will, over time, get increasingly rare and probably expensive (before it’s worthless), but there will always be at least a little bit of oil for us to use. Well, for someone to use. Probably not you and me, unless I sell a whole shipload of books. No pressure.
