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.

    We all have stories of our life experiences, and they shape our perceptions - sometimes for better, sometimes for worse. But what happens when the stories we tell ourselves about our limitations and past challenges become obstacles to further growth? That's when unlearning begins. This framework provides a path for visionaries to break through self-imposed barriers, foster adaptability in their personal and professional spaces, and maximize their full potential. I synthesized ten tenets of unlearning that I observed in my own life and used specifically as a powerful method for growth. These tenets are the guideposts of unlearning. I share snippets of my story as a testament to the power of unlearning. However, this writing is not about dwelling on past experiences, whether they be mine or yours. Instead, it's a guide to crafting the future you desire. These ten transformative tenets of unlearning will help you build a more empowered, adaptable future.

    The Sacred Way is not a map. It is not a method. It is a transmission. 
      
    In this companion to The Sacred Choice, Stephen L. Robertson offers a luminous reflection for the soul ready to embody what it has already remembered. Drawing from mystical insight, spiritual awakening, and the quiet wisdom of stillness, The Sacred Way invites readers beyond the threshold of realization—into a life of integration, gentleness, and divine simplicity. 
      
    This masterwork does not teach—it mirrors. Through poetic clarity and sacred resonance, it unveils the quiet radiance of what happens after the spark: when ego dissolves, when becoming ends, and when the flame no longer flickers but simply burns. 
      
    You are not searching anymore. 
    You are becoming the field. 
      
    This is not the beginning of your journey. 
    This is the return.

    Psyche A. Williams-Forson is one of our leading thinkers about food in America. In Eating While Black, she offers her knowledge and experience to illuminate how anti-Black racism operates in the practice and culture of eating. She shows how mass media, nutrition science, economics, and public policy drive entrenched opinions among both Black and non-Black Americans about what is healthful and right to eat. Distorted views of how and what Black people eat are pervasive, bolstering the belief that they must be corrected and regulated. What is at stake is nothing less than whether Americans can learn to embrace nonracist understandings and practices in relation to food. 
     
     
     
    Sustainable culture—what keeps a community alive and thriving—is essential to Black peoples' fight for access and equity, and food is central to this fight. Starkly exposing the rampant shaming and policing around how Black people eat, Williams-Forson contemplates food's role in cultural transmission, belonging, homemaking, and survival. Black people's relationships to food have historically been connected to extreme forms of control and scarcity—as well as to stunning creativity and ingenuity. In advancing dialogue about eating and race, this book urges us to think and talk about food in new ways in order to improve American society on personal and structural levels.

    In the name of humanity, that was the explanation of Dr. Claus Karl Schilling for the execution of malaria experiments on 1,200 inmates of the Dachau concentration camp during the Second World War. The reputable Schilling had come to Dachau with the personal permission of the Reichsführer-SS Heinrich Himmler in 1942 because he could use the prisoners as research subjects without the restriction of obtaining their consent. Schilling was not an exception.  
    Many Nazi doctors seized the unique opportunity to execute human experiments without legal and ethical restrictions during the war. The SS and the Wehrmacht either initiated or supported the research of the Nazi doctors. The central question that puzzled jurists and scientists is how these doctors, who were educated to heal people, could execute human experiments and deliberately harm and even kill people. To some scientists, their acts stand out as ‘exemplars of evil.’ This judgment is based on the fact that prisoners did not give their informed consent, the cruel and sometimes sadistic character of the experiments, and because never before in medical experiments was the death of the research subjects a central element of the research design. Many people think that ‘science went mad’ in the Third Reich and that Nazi doctors who committed these crimes were pseudo-scientists, sadists, and even monsters. However, thinking these perpetrators were madmen or monsters is a false explanation.  
    It is confronting to know that physicians belonging to the most advanced medical community in the world at the time, who had sworn to ‘do no harm, ' could commit these crimes. 
    On this trail, Dr. Josef Mengele’s pseudo-scientific research at the Auschwitz concentration camp during World War II led to immeasurable suffering among the camp’s children.

    Talking Cure is a timely and enticing excursion into the art of good conversation. Paula Marantz Cohen reveals how conversation connects us in ways that social media never can and explains why simply talking to each other freely and without guile may be the cure to what ails our troubled society. 
     
     
     
    Drawing on her lifelong immersion in literature and culture and her decades of experience as a teacher and critic, Cohen argues that we learn to converse in our families and then carry that knowledge into a broader world where we encounter diverse opinions and sensibilities. She discusses the role of food in encouraging conversation, the challenges of writing dialogue in fiction, the pros and cons of Zoom, the relationship of conversation to vaudeville acts, and the educational value of a good college seminar where students learn to talk about ideas. Cohen looks at some of the famous groups of writers and artists in history whose conversation fed their creativity, and details some of the habits that can result in bad conversation. 
     
     
     
    Blending the immediacy of a beautifully crafted memoir with the conviviality of an intimate gathering with friends, Talking Cure makes a persuasive case for the civilizing value of conversation and is essential listening for anyone interested in the chatter that fuels culture.
