Wonderstruck - How Wonder and...

Helen De Cruz

Wonder and awe lie at the heart of life's most profound questions. Wonderstruck shows how these emotions respond to our fundamental need to make sense of ourselves and everything around us, and how they enable us to engage with the world as if we are experiencing it for the first time. 
 
 
 
Drawing on the latest psychological insights on emotions, Helen De Cruz argues that wonder and awe are emotional drives that motivate us to inquire and discover new things, and that humanity has deliberately nurtured these emotions in cultural domains such as religion, science, and magic. Tracing how wonder and awe unify philosophy, the humanities, and the sciences, De Cruz provides new perspectives on figures such as Plato, Aristotle, Adam Smith, William James, Rachel Carson, Maurice Merleau-Ponty, Jean-Paul Sartre, and Abraham Heschel. Along the way, she explains how these singular emotions empower us to be open-minded, to experience joy and hope, and to be resilient in the face of personal troubles and global challenges. 
 
 
 
Taking inspiration from Descartes's portrayal of wonder as "that sudden surprise of the soul," this illuminating book reveals how wonder and awe are catalysts that can help us reclaim what makes life worth living and preserve the things we find wonderful and valuable in our lives.

A World Rewritten

Santiago Machain

In the aftermath of ideological collapse and technological overreach, humanity stands at a critical crossroads. The old empires have fallen, the myths of progress lie shattered, and yet a new vision begins to rise from the ashes. In this sweeping narrative of political reinvention, cultural restoration, and cognitive evolution, Book Three: A World Rewritten explores a world where history is rewritten, myth and memory merge, and a new civilization struggles to define itself. 
Through alternate histories, radical diplomacy, decentralized knowledge systems, and deeply human questions, this book challenges readers to confront what it means to belong in a world unmoored from its past—but alive with possibility. 
From the fall of Athens to the simulated mind of Alexander the Great, from a world without Columbus to the emergence of unified languages and fractured technologies, this book is both a cautionary tale and a hopeful blueprint. Could a better future still be possible? The answer lives in the stories we choose to tell.

The Wild West - History myth &...

Frederick Nolan

On 14 May 1804, one Captain Meriwether Lewis and his companion William Clark led a thirty-three-man expedition to the new lands of Louisiana. 8,000 miles and two years later, after rafting up the Missouri and crossing the Rocky Mountains, they reached the far side of the world, the Pacific Ocean. 
 
Fredrick Nolan explores the first US settlers of the American West, including the remarkable stories of unsung heroes and heroines, the bloody battles between settlers and the native American inhabitants, the crimes committed by corrupt Sheriffs, and the occasions when citizens had to take the law into their own hands. This is the story of the men and women who answered the call of the West.
