Sinopsis

"Lost Names" unearths the stories of forgotten deities, erased rulers, and vanished figures, revealing how power dynamics and ideological agendas actively shape our collective memory. The book explores historical erasure, a process where figures and narratives are deliberately suppressed or distorted. One intriguing aspect examined is "damnatio memoriae," the official condemnation of rulers, demonstrating how political motivations can rewrite history. Another focus is the disappearance of individuals challenging societal norms, illustrating how prevailing social pressures can erase legacies. 

 
The book approaches this lost history in three parts, beginning with a theoretical framework drawn from social memory studies, religious studies, and political science. It then presents case studies using archaeological evidence, textual analysis, and comparative mythology. Finally, it examines the implications of this recovered knowledge for contemporary issues like cultural appropriation and historical revisionism.

 
By reconstructing obscured narratives, "Lost Names" provides a nuanced understanding of how forgotten deities and erased rulers impact our understanding of the past and cultural evolution.

    Telepathy, clairvoyance, precognition, and telekinesis: these attributes of the paranormal mind are widely dismissed as nonsense, but what can an exploration of such pseudoscientific phenomena tell us about accepted scientific and cultural thought? In Parascientific Revolutions, Derek Lee traces the evolution of psi epistemologies across the twentieth and twenty-first centuries to uncover how these ideas have migrated into scientific fields such as quantum physics and neurology, as well as diverse literary genres, including science fiction, ethnic literature, and even government training manuals. 
     
    Lee introduces the groundbreaking concept of "parascience," a dynamic cultural space where ideas rejected by the scientific establishment blend with alternative strains of literary, mythic, and philosophical thought to regenerate and return to mainstream discourse. From early modernist works by James Joyce to postwar speculative fiction by Philip K. Dick to ethnofuturist narratives by Ruth Ozeki, Parascientific Revolutions demonstrates how cultural and intellectual currents reshape paranormal ideas over time. Examining psychic surveillance programs like Project Stargate and bizarre particles of extrasensory perception such as the psitron, Lee illustrates the ways paranormal concepts persist and evolve to influence culture.

    Sometimes in childhood, we may accumulate anger sadness, or feel emotional neglect when our needs were not met. This may result from the loss of connections in our identity. We felt anger disappointment or possibly rage.  
    We will use a meditation session to release the feeling of shame. It takes a conscious healing method to repair our little one inside. There may be hidden feelings that we have not been aware of.  
    Then, we will have a deep integration process work. We find our true identity and let our little one once again express the pain and sadness. We let them shine and be playful. We are no longer at war with ourselves reacting to the old programs and past coping mechanisms.

    The Enquiry Concerning Human Understanding is a shortened and simplified version of Hume's masterpiece A Treatise of Human Nature.  It sought to reach a wider audience, and to dispel some of the virulent criticism addressed toward the former book.  In it, Hume explains his theory of epistemology, and argues against other current theories, including those of John Locke, George Berkeley, and Nicolas Malebranche.  (Summary by Kirsten Ferreri)

    "Phenomenal . . . Offers us possibilities for rescuing the concept of democracy from its fatal entanglement with racial, heteropatriarchal capitalism." —Angela Y. Davis 
     
     
     
    "A compelling and inspiring book that belongs in our movements and our classrooms." —Chandra Talpade Mohanty, author of Feminism Without Borders 
     
     
     
    Become Ungovernable is a provocative new work of political thought setting out to reclaim "freedom", "justice", and "democracy", revolutionary ideas that are all too often warped in the interests of capital and the state. Revealing the mirage of mainstream democratic thought and the false promises of liberal political ideologies, H. L. T. Quan offers an alternative approach: an abolition feminism drawing on a kaleidoscope of refusal praxes, and on a deep engagement with the Black Radical Tradition and queer analytics. 
     
     
     
    With each chapter anchored by episodes from the long history of resistance and rebellions against tyranny, Quan calls for us to take up a feminist ethic of living rooted in the principles of radical inclusion, mutuality, and friendship as part of the larger toolkit for confronting fascism, white supremacy, and the neoliberal labor regime.

    Any life of Wolfe can be artificially simplified by treating his purely military work as something complete in itself and not as a part of a greater whole. But, since such treatment gives a totally false idea of his achievement, this little sketch, drawn straight from original sources, tries to show him as he really was, a co-worker with the British fleet in a war based entirely on naval strategy and inseparably connected with international affairs of world-wide significance. The only simplification attempted here is that of arrangement and expression. (Author's Note)
