Sinopse

Origins of Thailand explores the historical roots of modern Thailand by examining the pre-Thai kingdoms and the profound influence of Theravada Buddhism. This book delves into the early migrations and trade routes that shaped Southeast Asia, highlighting the rise and fall of kingdoms like Dvaravati, Srivijaya, and the Khmer Empire. These early states laid the groundwork for the political structures, social norms, and cultural expressions that define Thailand today.

The book argues that Thailand's unique identity resulted from the interplay of indigenous developments, regional influences, and the transformative impact of Buddhism. A key insight is how Theravada Buddhism shaped Thai art, literature, laws, and social hierarchies, becoming deeply embedded in the nation's culture.

The book challenges earlier orientalist views by presenting a nuanced understanding of Thailand's dynamic historical evolution. It uses archaeological findings, historical chronicles, and religious texts to support its analysis, offering a multi-faceted perspective. Each chapter builds upon the previous one, starting with the pre-Thai kingdoms and early migrations, then analyzing the rise and fall of these kingdoms, and culminating in an examination of how these elements shaped the foundations of early Thai states.

This approach integrates political, social, cultural, and religious factors into a cohesive narrative, making it valuable for anyone interested in History World, Religion, and World History.

The Nature of the Beast

David J. Anderson

Does your dog get sad when you leave for the day? Does your cat purr because she loves you? Do bears attack when they’re angry? You can’t very well ask them.  
 
In fact, scientists haven’t been able to reach a consensus on whether animals even have emotions like humans do, let alone how to study them. Yet studies of animal emotion are critical for understanding human emotion and mental illness. 
 
In The Nature of the Beast, pioneering neuroscientist David J. Anderson describes a new approach to solving this problem. He and his colleagues have figured out how to study the brain activity of animals as they navigate real-life scenarios, like  
fleeing a predator or competing for a mate. His research has revolutionized what we know about animal fear and aggression. Here, he explains what studying emotions and related internal brain states in animals can teach us about human  
behavior, offering new insights into why isolation makes us more aggressive, how sex and violence connect, and whether there’s a link between aggression and mental illness. 
 
Full of fascinating stories, The Nature of the Beast reconceptualizes how the brain regulates emotions—and explains why we have them at all.
