Synopsis

Birth Giver Value explores the high cultural significance of motherhood in agrarian societies, revealing how female fertility was crucial for community survival. It highlights the intertwining of childbirth with agrarian life's cultural, economic, and spiritual aspects, challenging simplistic views of patriarchal structures by showing how women's reproductive capabilities often afforded them considerable social standing. For instance, the book examines how agrarian societies elevated motherhood due to the essential role of mothers in ensuring the continuity of traditions and the labor force, demonstrating that this reverence was rooted in the practical realities of agrarian survival.

 
The book uniquely focuses on motherhood within agrarian societies, moving beyond generalizations to explore how agricultural practices shape perceptions of women. It unfolds by first introducing the concept of "birth giver value" and then presenting case studies from pre-industrial European villages, traditional Asian farming communities, and indigenous American agricultural societies. By drawing on anthropological sources, including ethnographic studies and historical documents, the book progresses to analyze the implications of birth giver value in contemporary social issues, such as declining birth rates and the changing roles of women.

Ancient Giants and Fallen Angels...

Torstein Mjølnheim

This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.
In the mists of antiquity, before the great flood that would cleanse the earth of corruption, there existed beings of immense power and knowledge who walked between the realms of heaven and earth. These were the Watchers, divine messengers tasked with observing humanity's early development. Yet their story, preserved in the ancient text known as the Book of Enoch, tells not of faithful guardianship but of cosmic rebellion that would forever alter the course of human history.
The Book of Enoch, though excluded from the canonical Bible, held profound influence over Jewish and early Christian thought for centuries. This pseudepigraphal work, attributed to the antediluvian patriarch Enoch who "walked with God," provides an elaborate narrative explaining the origin of evil, the nature of divine judgment, and the mysterious references to giants found in Genesis. According to the Enochic tradition, the corruption that necessitated the flood began not with human sin alone, but with the transgression of heavenly beings who abandoned their ordained stations.
The narrative begins with two hundred angels, led by their chief Semjaza, who descended to Mount Hermon during the days of Jared, Enoch's father. These Watchers, originally appointed to observe and guide humanity, became enamored with the daughters of men. Their desire transcended mere attraction; it represented a fundamental violation of the cosmic order established by the Divine. The text describes how these beings, seeing the beauty of mortal women, conspired among themselves to take wives from among humanity, knowing full well that such unions were forbidden.

Ivan the Terrible and Vlad...

Charles River Editors

Many medieval figures are somewhat shrouded in mystery, due to the scarcity of available sources and to the difficulties posed by the interpretation of historical narratives dating from this period. And even when there is enough documented evidence to put together a sufficiently coherent biographical account, other sources and accounts may emerge that flagrantly contradict the already established and generally accepted historical narrative. 
Nowhere is this more evident than in the legacy of Vlad III Dracula, whom history has recorded as one of the most notorious and bloodthirsty tyrants of the 15th century. In addition to lending the name Dracula to Bram Stoker’s famous vampire, Vlad is known around the world by the cognomen Vlad the Impaler, due to his reputation for impaling thousands of his enemies. Vlad was reputed to be such a tyrant that his reputation and stories of his deeds spread across Germany and the rest of Europe during his lifetime. Naturally, trying to determine who Vlad was and what he was really like has been made more complex by the subsequent fame he achieved in Europe and beyond, beginning with the dissemination of the German and Slavic 15th century narratives that aided in the construction of a diabolical, mythical-like figure that has been passed down throughout history to today.  
While certain factual aspects regarding Ivan IV’s reign can certainly be deduced from the primary sources that have withstood the test of time, the majority of accounts dating from the 16th century and after must be evaluated critically and read in light of certain traditions and ideas that circulated in the region regarding the model ruler and the tyrant. Naturally, this makes it hard for contemporary audiences to determine whether Ivan IV was worthy of the epithet “Groznyi” (“the Terrible”), but that heavily influenced the way in which Ivan IV was perceived and subsequently depicted in historiography.
