  Bestselling author Fritjof Capra partners with distinguished legal scholar Ugo Mattei to reveal that our legal system must catch up with the current scientific under-standing of the world if it is to contribute to solving the great crises of our times. 
   
  At the root of many of the environmental, economic, and social crises we face today is a legal system based on an outdated and ultimately destructive worldview. In this groundbreaking book, bestselling author, physicist, and systems theorist Fritjof Capra and distinguished legal scholar Ugo Mattei show how, by incorporating concepts from modern science, the law can be updated to reflect a more accurate view of how the world works and become a progressive force. 
   
  Capra and Mattei trace the fascinating parallel history of law and science to show how the two disciplines have always influenced each other-until recently. Science now sees the world as being made up of interconnected networks. But law is stuck in a mechanistic, 17th century paradigm that views the world as discrete individual parts. This has led to a disregard for the health of the whole-for example, elevating the rights of individual property owners over the good of the community. But Capra and Mattei outline the basic concepts and structures of a legal order consistent with the ecological principles that sustain life on this planet.

  Tremendous Trifles - "Perhaps...

  G K Chesterton

  A wonderful and whimsical collection of short essays on everything from sketching on brown paper and building toy theatres to the nature of Englishness and faith."Tremendous Trifles contains simply some of the best essays Chesterton ever wrote. They originally appeared in the Daily News, which Chesterton contributed to from 1901 to 1913, and which explains why people bought that paper. Which is an idea so large it spills over into another essay, “A Piece of Chalk.” Here Chesterton describes how he has set out to do some drawing with his chalks, but is distressed to find that he has forgotten his white chalk. White is essential. White is a color. It is not merely the absence of color. It is “a shining and affirmative thing…it draws stars.” As white is to art, so is virtue to religion. Virtue is a positive thing; not merely “the absence of dangers or the avoidance of moral dangers…Chastity does not mean abstention from sexual wrong; it means something flaming, like Joan of Arc.”In this book, Chesterton looks at the ordinary, common things and asks us to see how extraordinary and uncommon they are. The things in his pockets, the objects in a railway station, the people in the street. With these simple, random things he can defend Christianity, Western Civilization and Democracy. “Whatever is it that we are all looking for?” he asks at the beginning of an essay entitled “A Glimpse of My Country.” He suggests that what we are looking for lies very close; we just don’t manage to see it. It is a theme throughout the book, and throughout Chesterton’s writings that what appears to be a trifle is actually tremendous. In the title essay Chesterton crystallizes this truth in a perfect sentence that would go on to be inscribed on buildings and quoted by popes: “The world will never starve for want of wonders; but only for want of wonder.”-- Dale Ahlquist, lecture for Chesterton University

  Norse Myths Unveiled - The Gods...

  Norse mythology is a vast and intricate belief system that shaped the spiritual and cultural identity of the Scandinavian people. Rooted in oral traditions and later recorded in texts such as the *Poetic Edda* and *Prose Edda*, these myths offer a glimpse into a world filled with powerful gods, fearsome giants, and legendary heroes. Unlike many other mythologies, Norse myths do not present a perfect and orderly universe but rather one marked by struggle, chaos, and an inevitable end.  
    
  At the heart of Norse cosmology are the Nine Realms, each interconnected through Yggdrasil, the great World Tree. These realms include Asgard, the home of the gods; Midgard, the realm of humans; and Jotunheim, the land of giants, among others. The Norse viewed the universe as a place of constant conflict and transformation, where even the gods were not immune to fate. This belief in destiny was central to their worldview, with figures like the Norns weaving the threads of fate for gods and mortals alike.  
    
  Prophecy played a significant role in Norse mythology, shaping the actions of both gods and mortals. One of the most well-known prophecies is that of Ragnarok, the great battle that would bring about the end of the world. Unlike many other religious traditions that offer eternal salvation, Norse myths emphasize the inevitability of destruction and rebirth. Even Odin, the Allfather, seeks wisdom not to change fate but to prepare for its arrival.
