Sinopse

"Legendary Creatures" presents a groundbreaking exploration of mythological beings across cultures, examining how these fantastic entities have shaped human societies throughout history. The book uniquely organizes mythical creatures based on their social functions rather than geographic origins, offering fresh insights into how different civilizations used similar beings to address universal human concerns and experiences.

 
Through three comprehensive sections, the work examines how creatures like the Chinese phoenix and Native American thunderbird established cosmic order in creation myths, while beings such as European werewolves and Japanese yokai served as powerful tools for enforcing social norms. The analysis draws from an impressive range of sources, including archaeological evidence, ancient texts, and oral traditions, while incorporating modern cognitive science to explain the recurring patterns of creature archetypes across different cultures.

 
What sets this scholarly work apart is its balanced approach to indigenous mythologies and Western traditions, examining each within its original cultural context. The book demonstrates how mythical creatures weren't mere flights of fancy but sophisticated cultural tools that helped societies understand natural phenomena, establish moral frameworks, and maintain social order. By connecting ancient mythology to contemporary influences in literature, art, and popular culture, the work reveals how these legendary beings continue to resonate in modern society, making it valuable for both academic researchers and general readers interested in mythology and comparative religion.

  • Threat Multiplier - Climate Military Leadership and the Fight for Global Security - cover

    Threat Multiplier - Climate...

    Threat Multiplier takes us onto the battlefield and inside the Pentagon to show how the US military is confronting the biggest security risk in global history: climate change. More than thirty years ago, Sherri Goodman became the Pentagon's first chief environmental officer. Indeed, for much of the twentieth century, the Department of Defense (DOD) was better known for containing the Soviet nuclear threat than protecting the environment. And yet, today, the military has moved from an environmental laggard to a clean energy and climate leader, recognizing that a warming world exacerbates every threat—from hurricanes and forest fires, to competition for increasingly scarce food and water, to terrorism and power plays by Russia and China. The Pentagon now considers climate in war games, disaster relief planning, international diplomacy, and even the design of its own bases. 
     
     
     
    What was the key to this dramatic change in military thinking? What keeps today's generals and admirals up at night? How can we safeguard our national defense and our planet? No one is better poised to answer these questions than Sherri Goodman, who was at the vanguard of environmental leadership among our armed forces and civilian representatives. In Threat Multiplier, she tells the inside story of the military's fight for global security, a tale that is as hopeful as it is harrowing.

    Since protestors ripped through the Capitol Building in 2021, the threat of constitutional crisis has loomed over our nation. The foundational tenets of American democracy seem to be endangered, and many citizens believe this danger is unprecedented in our history. But Americans have weathered many constitutional crises, often accompanied by the same violence and chaos experienced on January 6. However, these crises occurred on the state level. In Sedition, Marcus Alexander Gadson uncovers these episodes of civil unrest and examines how state governments handled them. 
     
     
     
    Sedition takes listeners through six instances of constitutional crisis: The Buckshot War, Dorr's Rebellion, Bleeding Kansas, the Brooks-Baxter War, a successful terrorist campaign to overthrow South Carolina's government during Reconstruction, and the Wilmington Insurrection of 1898. He chronicles these turbulent periods of violent anti-government conflict on the state level, explaining what it was like to experience coup d'états, rival governments fighting in the streets, and disputed elections that gave way to violence. As he addresses constitutional breakdown, Gadson urges Americans to pay increased attention to the risk of constitutional instability in their home states. His sweeping historical analysis provides new insights on the fight to protect democracy today.

    Break Free from Limiting Beliefs, Emotional Pain, and Old Patterns Through Hypnotherapy, Timeline Therapy, and NLP 
    You have read the books. You have set the goals. You have tried harder. Yet you still end up right back where you started, wondering what is wrong with you. 
    Nothing is wrong with you. 
    The reason change has not stuck is not a lack of discipline or willpower. It is because you have been trying to fix something at the surface that has its roots much deeper. Research suggests the subconscious drives 95% of your daily behavior. You can't think your way out of a pattern that was never being held by thought. 
    After 22 years in a corporate career and a life-changing layoff, Leo M. Dulay Jr. discovered three tools that finally reached the level where lasting change actually happens. This book hands those tools to you. 
    Inside, you will learn how to: 
    - Stop fighting your own mind by understanding why your most frustrating patterns were once trying to protect you. 
    - Release the root of the pain using timeline therapy to clear the emotional charge behind anger and anxiety. 
    - Quiet your internal anxiety with self-hypnosis scripts you can record in your own voice and use tonight. 
    - Beat your procrastination by addressing the specific fear that is currently hiding underneath the habit. 
    - Finally get yourself unstuck so you can move forward with a clear sense of purpose and feel like yourself. 
    - Rewire your inner language so that new changes hold at the level of identity where they will actually last. 
    You will find a full self-hypnosis script and journaling prompts at the end of every chapter. These are practical tools you can use on your own, starting today. 
    This is not another pep talk about positive thinking. You have already been sold those ideas, and they are not why you are here. This is honest, grounded work that is clear about what these tools can do and respectful of your journey. 
    You are not your past. You are not your patterns.
