Sinossi

Thunder Gods explores the captivating role of storm deities across various cultures and throughout history. It delves into why civilizations worldwide have consistently linked the raw power of storms and lightning to gods of immense authority. The book examines diverse pantheons, from Zeus in ancient Greece to Thor in Norse mythology, revealing how these deities embody both destructive potential and life-giving forces. Understanding these figures offers insights into the anxieties and aspirations of ancient societies, reflecting their fundamental worldviews.

 
 The book presents a comparative analysis of storm gods, revealing recurring themes and patterns in their worship. It introduces the fundamental concepts of storm deities, analyzes specific cultural examples, and synthesizes these examples to identify broader religious themes. For example, the prominence of storm deities often reflects a society's recognition of nature's dual capacity for creation and destruction, highlighting the profound impact of environmental factors on religious and cultural systems. This approach offers a unique perspective on religious studies and cultural studies.

 
 The narrative unfolds in a structured manner, progressing from introducing core concepts to analyzing specific cultural examples and then synthesizing recurring themes. Thunder Gods draws upon archaeological and textual evidence, providing a valuable resource for anyone interested in comparative religion, mythology, or ancient history.

 
 Ultimately, the book argues that these deities function as embodiments of cosmic balance, representing forces that must be both revered and propitiated.

    The monograph Forest Overgrowth and Unfolding Hope examines the transformation of the cultural landscape of the Natisone Valleys. This remote border region has undergone significant change from the second half of the twentieth century to the present day. What was once a predominantly agrarian society has been radically reshaped; formerly densely populated villages have emptied, and cultivated land has gradually been overtaken by forest.
    The monograph sheds light both on local understandings of these transformations and on the reasons behind them. To this end, it analyses the social memories of residents – especially of the generation that was directly involved in these processes, observed them, experienced them, and made sense of them. It also offers a detailed account of past and present practices of care for four key landscape elements: meadows, chestnut trees, dry‑stone terraces, and paths. While these elements were once essential for people's survival, today they are acquiring new meanings. For some inhabitants, their overgrowth symbolizes the inevitable decline of the area; for others, it represents an opportunity to revitalize these places, inspiring hope for a better future for the Natisone Valleys.

    A prize-winning memoirist and nature writer turns to the lives of plants entangled in our human world to explore belonging, displacement, identity, and the truths of our shared future 
     
     
     
    A seed slips beyond a garden wall. A tree is planted on a precarious border. A shrub is stolen from its culture and its land. What happens when these plants leave their original homes and put down roots elsewhere? 
     
     
     
    In fourteen essays, Dispersals explores the entanglements of the plant and human worlds: from species considered invasive, like giant hogweed; to those vilified but intimate, like soy; and those like kelp, on which our futures depend. Each of the plants considered in this collection are somehow perceived as being "out of place"—weeds, samples collected through imperial science, crops introduced and transformed by our hand. Combining memoir, history, and scientific research in poetic prose, Jessica J. Lee meditates on the question of how both plants and people come to belong, why both cross borders, and how our futures are more entwined than we might imagine.

    Jack Zipes has spent decades as a "scholarly scavenger," discovering forgotten fairy tales in libraries, flea markets, used bookstores, and internet searches, and he has introduced countless readers to these remarkable works and their authors. In Buried Treasures, Zipes describes his special passion for uncovering political fairy tales of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, offers fascinating profiles of more than a dozen of their writers and illustrators, and shows why they deserve greater attention and appreciation. 
     
     
     
    These writers and artists used their remarkable talents to confront political oppression and economic exploitation by creating alternative, imaginative worlds that test the ethics and morals of the real world and expose hidden truths. Among the figures we meet here are Édouard Laboulaye, a jurist who wrote acute fairy tales about justice; Charles Godfrey Leland, a folklorist who found other worlds in tales of Native Americans, witches, and Roma; Kurt Schwitters, an artist who wrote satirical, antiauthoritarian stories; Mariette Lydis, a painter who depicted lost-and-found souls; Lisa Tetzner, who dramatized exploitation by elites; Felix Salten, who unveiled the real meaning of Bambi's dangerous life in the forest; and Gianni Rodari, whose work showed just how political and insightful fantasy stories can be.
