Sinopse

Famous Trees explores the captivating stories of trees that have shaped history, inspired legends, and symbolized cultural values. These silent giants are not just passive elements but active participants in the human story. The book reveals the historical significance of trees in landmark events, their role in cultural narratives, and the symbolic power they hold across civilizations. For example, ancient olive trees of the Mediterranean are venerated for their role in mythology and sustenance.

 
The book posits that individual trees can function as living monuments, embodying pivotal moments and cultural values. It unfolds in three sections: introducing the concept of "famous trees," delving into specific case studies, and synthesizing broader conclusions about the human-tree relationship. By examining historical accounts, dendrochronological data, and folkloric traditions, Famous Trees offers insights into the past and a renewed appreciation for nature's enduring power. Targeted towards history enthusiasts and nature lovers, the book adopts a narrative non-fiction style, blending rigorous research with engaging storytelling. It emphasizes the importance of environmental stewardship and preserving these living monuments for future generations. The book's approach makes it a unique and valuable resource for understanding the intersection of natural history and human culture.

    When I think of my hell days, I think of crime scenes. Familiar sites, made uncanny with violence. 
     
    In the fluorescent tedium of a call centre in 2018, acclaimed novelist Laura Elizabeth Woollett finds herself meticulously plotting her own death. Until her period arrives, and equilibrium with it. After years of dismissing these monthly turns, she’s diagnosed with premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD). Then, at 33, she falls pregnant and experiences a reprieve — but will it last? 
     
    Through case studies, interviews, extensive medical research, forays into history, true crime, and algorithmic rabbit-holes, Woollett looks beyond herself to assemble a chorus of PMDD sufferers, along with dedicated scientists and clinicians. Navigating the impossible terrain between a potentially fatal disorder and treatments that can be almost as dangerous, Hell Days is a testament to the precarity and dignity of life as a periodically suicidal person in an often-brutal world.

    Thoughts, unlike objects, do not belong to you: they come from somewhere else all the time, stay and interact with your Consciousness for a while, and then imperceptibly disappear to somewhere. Your thinking is the process of continuously synthesizing in your reality newer and newer Forms from the already known to you mental and sensual experience. Therefore for you the thinking process represents the beginning and the end of absolutely all of your desires - from getting some material benefits to achieving higher (according to your concepts) spiritual goals.By mastering the art of mental transformations, you will have an absolutely real means of consciously controlling the material conditions of your earthly existence. By improving in this direction, your mentality can reach the point where it becomes possible to control the powerful factors of the natural elements of Nature, influencing not only the weather, but also such destructive phenomena as tornadoes, tornadoes, earthquakes, tsunamis with the power of your Mind

  • Byzantium and Constantinople: The History of the Ancient Greek City that Became the Byzantine Empire’s Capital - cover

    Byzantium and Constantinople:...

    Due to the importance of the Roman Empire and the offshoot Byzantine Empire, it’s often forgotten that Constantinople wasn’t chosen at random; in fact, the city already existed, and it lent its name to the empire that was subsequently centered there. Byzantium, known originally as Byzantion, was an ancient Greek city centuries before it became known as Constantinople, and the etymology of Byzantion/Byzantium is still unknown. It has been suggested that Byzantion is of Thracian origin and may be derived from the Thracian personal name Byzas, which means “he-goat.” Ancient Greek legend refers to King Byzas as the leader of the Megaran colonists and the founder of the city, but the earliest name for a city on the site is “Lygos,” which likely corresponds to an earlier Thracian settlement described by Pliny the Elder in his seminal work, Natural History: “On leaving the Dardanelles we come to the Bay of Casthenes, ...and the promontory of the Golden Horn, on which is the town of Byzantium, a free state, formerly called Lygos; it is 711 miles from Durazzo.” 
    Pliny went on to explain that Lygos was a Thracian settlement founded between the 13th and 11th centuries BCE. The site, however, was probably abandoned well before Megara founded Byzantion around 657 BCE across from Chalcedon on the Asiatic side of the Bosphorus. The city was briefly renamed Augusta Antonina in the early 3rd century CE by the Emperor Septimius Severus, who razed the city to the ground in 196 CE for supporting a rival contender in the civil war and had it rebuilt in honor of his son and successor, Marcus Aurelius Antoninus, known as Caracalla. This new name appears to have been quickly forgotten and abandoned, with the city reverting to Byzantium after the assassination of Caracalla in 217 CE, and that’s how it would be known when Constantine fatefully moved the seat of power there over a century later.

    Ronald Reagan declares the Soviet Union an Evil Empire. The Apple Macintosh personal computer makes its debut. Michael Jackson's Thriller  dominates the charts. And Larry Bird and the Boston Celtics capture the NBA championship over the Los Angeles Lakers. It was 1984, and for the NBA and the nation, the year was full of milestone moments. 
     
     
     
    In Dynasty Restored, Thomas J. Whalen explores this dramatic season. The NBA had been struggling, seen as a minor sports league and suffering from poor attendance, lagging ratings, and drug scandals. The Celtics were beset by locker room turmoil, disruptive coaching, ownership changes, and underperforming stars. But Whalen reveals how that all changed when Bird and his fellow "Big Three" teammates Kevin McHale and Robert Parish, along with newcomer Dennis Johnson, banded together to lift the franchise to its fifteenth world championship and helped transform the league into a global entertainment brand. 
     
     
     
    Dynasty Restored offers insight into the barriers Larry Bird had to overcome to achieve NBA stardom, discusses the tensions that existed between Bird and McHale, and gives a probing analysis of the unique pressures Black Celtics players faced in a post-Boston Busing Crisis environment. And it shows how this singular season turbocharged the Celtics and the professional game to unprecedented heights.
