Summary

In "Moral Letters to Lucilius," Seneca, a preeminent Stoic philosopher, embarks on a rich epistolary discourse with his friend Lucilius, exploring the depths of ethical living and the human condition. Through a series of 124 letters, Seneca employs a conversational and reflective literary style that marries personal anecdote with rigorous philosophical argument. The letters grapple with themes of virtue, death, and the importance of self-examination in a tumultuous world, echoing the larger Hellenistic context of moral philosophy, where the quest for wisdom and tranquility was paramount. Seneca, born in Corduba (modern-day Córdoba, Spain) and later serving as a statesman in Rome, faced personal and political turmoil that deeply informed his philosophy. His experiences, including exile and the observation of human vice within the corridors of power, shaped his understanding of Stoicism as a practical guide for resilient living. Seneca's writings are imbued with urgency; he aims to lead his readers toward a life untouched by external chaos, fostering inner peace through rational thought. This compelling collection is a must-read for anyone intrigued by moral philosophy, ethics, or the Stoic tradition. It serves not only as a philosophical treatise but also as a window into the mind of a man who sought to navigate the complexities of life with wisdom. "Moral Letters to Lucilius" will engage those seeking both intellectual stimulation and profound personal insight.

    A lifelong fascination with all things bones. A four-decades-long hunt for the specimens of 2,500+ species past and present. An unwavering desire to preserve, appreciate, and display this rich history of life on Earth. 
These things led to the establishment of the largest privately-held collection of osteological pieces in the world; a place where science displays are more like works of art ... capturing the attention of every eye that lands upon them, and telling a profound story without uttering a single word. 
I'm Richard Jacobs. A casual trip with my family to a bone museum sparked a number of observations that I found too intriguing not to share. 
Enjoy. And please, never stop being curious, and never stop asking questions – the good ones can lead to the greatest discoveries of mankind.

    Under the Nazis, conventional science and a range of fringes sciences were legitimate areas for research and development. Unorthodox ideas and projects that were too outrageous for other governments received funding. During the last six months of the war, it seemed obvious the Germans had been crushingly defeated, but in spite of the military situation, Hitler continued to believe that victory would be achieved. He repeatedly told his advisors and inner circle that Germany possessed Wunderwaffen - miracle weapons - that would turn the tide and give the Germans victory.

    As formally inventive as readers have come to expect from one of the most daring writers around, and as wild and tricky as its subject matter requires, Goblinhood: Goblin as a Mode  presents us with a series of essays and poems that playfully, artfully propound Jen Calleja's theory of 'goblinhood'——a theory that takes in all aspects of pop culture from film, tv, literature and art as well as the author's personal and original examinations of grief, lust, family histories and the physical fact of living in the world as it is.

Goblinhood  is a perpetually and variously curious, visceral addition to Calleja's remarkable oeuvre.
