Sinopse

Ice Legends unveils the surprising significance of ice and cold throughout human history, exploring its impact on religion, literature, and culture. It argues that our fascination with icy landscapes and mythical ice creatures reveals fundamental insights into our relationship with nature and belief. The book demonstrates how ice symbolizes purity, destruction, and the unknown, shaping religious practices and literary themes across cultures.

 
The book examines the cultural impact of glacial periods and extreme weather, detailing how these events influenced human migration and societal development. For example, Norse sagas feature frost giants, while Shinto rituals use ice for purification, illustrating ice's diverse symbolism. Ice Legends progresses through sections that address ice symbolism in global religious traditions, literary depictions of icy realms, and historical events influenced by extreme cold.

 
Supported by archaeological evidence, religious texts, and historical records, Ice Legends provides a unique perspective on the cultural significance of cold environments. This interdisciplinary approach combines historical analysis with religious studies and literary criticism.

 
By exploring how cultures have perceived and responded to cold environments, the book offers insights relevant to contemporary discussions about climate change and environmental stewardship.

The Home Front

Patrick Lindsay

A damning portrayal of the neglect of Australia’s modern war veterans from celebrated military historian Patrick Lindsay. 
Forty-one Australian soldiers died in action over 20 years of fighting in Afghanistan; in that time more than 1400 veterans have taken their own lives. Veterans today are chronically over-represented when it comes to PTSD, depression, homelessness and suicide. Australians rightfully pause on Anzac Day each year to solemnly remember fallen soldiers, but are we forgetting our returned veterans whose personal battles continue every single day, and how did we get to this point? 
 
In this authoritative, compelling and urgent book, bestselling author Patrick Lindsay (The Spirit of the Diggerand Fromelles among many) looks at the wide-ranging damage caused by training Australians to be fighting machines and then inadequately supporting them as they re-enter their communities. Featuring moving interviews with veterans and their families as well as a broader analysis of Australian military culture and government responses, Lindsay illustrates both the personal and societal costs of this dereliction of duty. 
 
The Home Front is a fascinating and rousing indictment of the culture of war, the thinking of those who wage it, and the cost to those who experience it.

The Genealogy of Morals

Friedrich Nietzsche

Friedrich Nietzsche's genealogical analysis in The Genealogy of Morals is an exploration of the historical development of certain moral values, specifically those associated with notions of justice, honour, and good. Taking a critical stance against the Enlightenment-era reception of Kantian morality, Nietzsche argues that these values were formed through a process of power dynamics rather than abstract principles.

Swing Low volume 1 - A History...

Walter R. Strickland

Foreword INDIES Book of the Year Award Finalist
A Groundbreaking Portrait of African American Christianity
The history of African American Christianity is one of the determined faith of a people driven to pursue spiritual and social uplift for themselves and others to God's glory. Yet stories of faithful Black Christians have often been forgotten or minimized. The dynamic witness of the Black church in the United States is an essential part of Christian history that must be heard and dependably retold.
In this groundbreaking two-volume work, Walter R. Strickland II does just that through a theological-intellectual history highlighting the ways theology has formed and motivated Black Christianity across the centuries. Through his original research he has identified five theological anchors grounding African Americans in Christian orthodoxy:

- Big God
- Jesus
- Conversion and walking in the Spirit
- The Good Book
- Deliverance
In volume 1, a narrative history, Strickland tells the story of these themes from the 1600s to the present. He explores the crucial ecclesiastical, social, and theological developments, including the rise of Black evangelicalism as well as broader contributions to politics and culture.
Swing Low offers a defining rubric under which to observe, understand, and learn from the diverse and living entity that is African American Christianity. Volume 2, a companion anthology, covers the breadth of these historical developments by presenting primary-source documents so we can listen to Black Christianity in its own words.
