  "On the Motion of Animals" is a scientific work by Aristotle that explores the principles of motion in living beings. In this treatise, Aristotle observes and analyzes the movements of various animals, from insects to humans, in order to understand the mechanics of motion and the physiological and psychological factors that drive it. Aristotle begins by examining the different types of motion, including natural, violent, and voluntary, and how they relate to the movements of animals. He then delves into the anatomy and physiology of different animals, looking at their skeletal structures, muscular systems, and nervous systems, and how they work together to produce motion.

  Cleopatra’s Needles - The Lost...

  In the half-century between 1831 and 1881 three massive obelisks left Egypt for new lands. Prior to these journeys, the last large obelisk moved was the Vatican obelisk in 1586—one of the great engineering achievements of the Renaissance. Roman emperors moved more than a dozen, but left no records of how they did it. The nineteenth-century engineers entrusted with transporting the obelisks across oceans had to invent new methods, far from certain that they would work. As the three obelisks, bound for Paris, London, and New York, sailed towards their new homes, the world held its breath. Newspapers reported the obelisks' daily progress, complete with illustrations of the heroic deeds of the engineers and crews struggling under nearly impossible conditions. When the obelisks arrived safely in their new homes, bands played Cleopatra's Needle Waltz and silver obelisk pencils dangled from fashionable ladies' necks. 
   
   
   
  This turbulent era, caught up in obelisk mania, is recreated by Bob Brier in all its glory. Amid tales of engineering dexterity and naval endurance, the individuals involved in transporting the obelisks and receiving them in their future homes are brought to life through their letters, diaries, and newspaper articles. This book will fascinate all those interested in Egypt, its iconic monuments, and the history of great endeavor.

  Medieval Monasticism - Centers...

  Monasticism, as a religious way of life, emerged from the desire for spiritual purity and devotion. Its origins can be traced to the early centuries of Christianity, when individuals sought solitude and asceticism to deepen their faith. These early monks and hermits withdrew from the distractions of society, dedicating themselves to prayer, fasting, and contemplation. Their practices laid the foundation for organized monastic communities that would later shape religious life in medieval Europe. 
  Christian asceticism had its roots in the teachings of Jesus and the apostles, who emphasized humility, self-denial, and devotion to God. In the first few centuries after Christ, some Christians chose to live apart from society, embracing a life of solitude in the deserts of Egypt, Syria, and Palestine. Among the most influential of these early ascetics were the Desert Fathers, such as Anthony the Great, who became a model for monastic life. These individuals practiced extreme self-discipline, often enduring harsh conditions to strengthen their spiritual resolve. Their writings and teachings inspired many others to follow their example, leading to the formation of small groups of hermits living near one another. 
  Over time, these solitary ascetics began to form more structured communities. One of the key figures in this transition was Pachomius, an Egyptian monk who, in the fourth century, established one of the earliest known monastic rules. His guidelines emphasized communal living, regular prayer, and shared labor. Unlike the isolated lifestyle of the early hermits, Pachomian monasteries promoted a balance between solitude and community, setting a precedent for later monastic traditions. This model of coenobitic monasticism—where monks lived together under a common rule—spread throughout the Christian world, influencing later monastic developments.
