Synopsis

Lena River Spirits explores the spiritual connection between the indigenous peoples of Siberia and the Lena River. This world history examines how shamanic traditions have shaped cultural identity, viewing the river not just as a physical feature, but as a living entity and a conduit to the spirit world.

 
Shamanism, emphasizing interconnectedness and spirit communication, thrives in the Lena River basin, where the river is seen as a pathway for shamans and a source of healing. The book traces the evolution of these beliefs and their adaptation through time, providing insight into the distinct cultural groups along the Lena.

 
The book highlights the Lena River as a spiritual landscape that actively shapes the belief systems of its people. It challenges conventional views of rivers by emphasizing their profound spiritual significance, supported by ethnographic studies and historical accounts.

 
Unique to this work is its focus on the spiritual dimension of the Lena River, moving beyond geographical or economic considerations to highlight indigenous voices.

 
The book guides readers through the river's geographical significance, shamanic beliefs, and specific cultural interactions, culminating in a discussion of its contemporary relevance and challenges.

How to Eat - An Ancient Guide...

Abigail Reno

Today, we're stuffed with dietary recommendations from every direction. Social media, advertising, food packaging, diet books, doctors—all have advice on what, how much, and when to eat. This would have been no surprise to ancient Greeks and Romans. Their doctors were intensely interested in food, offered highly prescriptive dietary advice, and developed detailed systems to categorize foods and their health effects. How to Eat is a delectable anthology of Greco-Roman writings on how to eat, exercise, sleep, bathe, and manage your sex life for optimal health. It also gathers ancient opinions on specific foods of all sorts, from how to deploy onions to cure baldness and cabbage to get sober to whether lentils are healthy and why arugula increases your sex drive. 
 
 
 
With lively new translations by Claire Bubb, How to Eat features voices from medicine, philosophy, natural history, agriculture, and cooking, including Hippocrates, Pliny the Elder, Galen, Seneca, Plutarch, and Cato. 
 
 
 
While medicine and science have obviously changed enormously since the classical world, and some Greco-Roman beliefs about diet now appear hilariously off the mark, How to Eat reveals that much of their advice still resonates—and all of it is fascinating.

África y Roma: La historia y el...

Charles River Editors

En su apogeo, el Imperio Romano abarcaba grandes extensiones de Europa occidental, Oriente Medio, Egipto y el norte de África, y aunque mucha gente conoce la influencia y el legado de Roma en Europa y Oriente Medio, a menudo se sabe menos de los asentamientos romanos en la costa mediterránea del norte de áfrica. No obstante, esta fue una zona que produjo varios emperadores (incluidos los únicos emperadores negros), algunas de las ciudades más sofisticadas del imperio y ruinas romanas que ofrecen algunas de las mejores pruebas del modo de vida romano que se pueden encontrar en cualquier parte del mundo.  
	Aparte de la naturaleza complicada de los sistemas administrativos en evolución en la zona, otro reto importante para los investigadores modernos del periodo romano en la historia del norte de África es que el entorno natural era muy diferente al actual. Se suele suponer que la región solo era fértil en la costa y que el interior no podía proporcionar los recursos necesarios para mantener poblaciones numerosas y ricas. Sin embargo, en la antigüedad, el norte de África era una región fértil, y los científicos creen que la vasta zona de praderas escarpadas que cubría la mayor parte de lo que hoy es el desierto del Sáhara comenzó a secarse hace unos 5000 años, y que el proceso de transformación de las praderas en desiertos fue lento. Aunque existe un considerable debate sobre el tiempo que duró el proceso y si las técnicas agrícolas a pequeña escala utilizadas en la región contribuyeron al proceso de desecación, está claro que la zona alrededor de Cartago, por ejemplo, tenía una amplia extensión de tierras bien cultivadas, y que dicho cultivo se prolongó hasta bien entrada la Edad Media.

Preston

DAVID R. BALES

A story about the weight we carry, and the people who help us finally set it down. 
Preston Clarke is ninety years old. He is a soldier, a husband, a father, a builder, and now a resident of The Cove, an assisted living facility in North Georgia. His world has grown small and quiet. But Preston still has stories, and when a young nurse named Carole Clarke begins spending real time with him, he finds the one thing he thought he had lost for good: someone willing to listen. What she hears is the story of a full, complicated, and quietly remarkable life. 
Inside this book, you will find: 
•     A Life Fully Lived: A Vietnam veteran, entrepreneur, and devoted husband whose private acts of courage and generosity shaped more lives than he ever took credit for. 
•     A Friendship That Changes Everything: The unlikely bond between a ninety-year-old man and a young nurse who becomes the keeper of his story. 
•     A Secret Fifty Years in the Making: A wartime mistake, monthly payments sent across the country for decades, and a daughter who never knew his name. 
•     A Love Story at Its Core: Preston and Edna Clarke, sixty-three years of marriage, tested once, and stronger for it. 
Preston is a work of fiction by David R. Bales about legacy, redemption, and the quiet power of being truly heard before it is too late.
