Mythology Mythos and the Screen

Pasquale De Marco

Sinopsis

In a world saturated with images and narratives, myths continue to exert a powerful influence on our minds and culture. This book delves into the fascinating relationship between myth, mind, and the screen, exploring how myths are reflected and reinterpreted in contemporary media, particularly in films and television shows.

Myths are not simply stories of old; they are living narratives that carry deep psychological and cultural meanings. They shape our understanding of ourselves, others, and the world around us. In the realm of film and television, myths take on a new life, brought to vivid reality through the power of moving images and sound.

This book offers a comprehensive exploration of the ways in which myths are reflected in contemporary media. Through in-depth analysis of a wide range of films and television shows, from classic works of cinema to popular contemporary shows, the book reveals how filmmakers and showrunners draw on myths and archetypes to create compelling stories that resonate with audiences.

From the hero's journey to the quest for meaning, from the battle between good and evil to the exploration of the human condition, myths provide a rich source of inspiration for creators of all kinds. This book examines how these timeless narratives are adapted and reimagined for the screen, offering fresh perspectives and insights into the human experience.

Moreover, the book explores the psychological impact of myths on our minds. It investigates how myths can shape our beliefs, values, and behaviors, and how they can be used to create powerful emotional connections with audiences. By understanding the power of myths, we can gain a deeper understanding of ourselves and the world around us.

This book is an invitation to journey into the realm of myth, mind, and the screen. By exploring the relationship between these three elements, we can gain a richer understanding of the stories we tell, the images we consume, and the impact they have on our lives.

Decision Making in Aviation

facundo Conforti

This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.  
Decision-making in the cockpit has a direct relationship with the safety of operations. But not only does it affect pilots of all levels, but it also involves many more people involved in the process. 
Decision-making is a process, and as such, it requires a series of logical steps to achieve the goal. This process occurs unconsciously in our brain in a fraction of a second. As human beings, we constantly make decisions, we decide what to eat, what clothes to wear, with which hand we caress our hair, or simply on which side we turn our heads when we hear a sound and react to this stimulus. All these actions are preceded by an unconscious process of the brain where in a fraction of a second all the options were analyzed and the most appropriate one was chosen. 
In aviation, the pilot constantly makes operational decisions, from the first hour of flight to the last at the end of his career. In this work, we will analyze all the variables that could affect the decision-making process, seeking to learn the tools to minimize the error during this process. An indispensable book for every pilot, regardless of their level of experience.

Trees Every Child Should Know

The best time to being to study the trees is to-day!  The place to begin is right where you are, provided there is a tree near enough, for a lesson about trees will be very dull unless there is a tree to look at, to ask questions of, and to get answers from. (Julia Rogers)

Lessons from Cats for Surviving...

Stewart Reynolds

Like On Tyranny, but with cats, this is the ultimate guide to channeling feline wisdom in the face of authoritarian nonsense.   Cats, the original masters of stealth, sass, and strategic chaos, have been teaching us survival tactics for centuries—they just haven’t been this explicit about it. Until now.   Through humor, sharp insights, and unapologetic defiance, LESSONS FROM CATS FOR SURVIVING FASCISM lays out eleven essential cat-inspired strategies for resisting control and reclaiming power. From staying nimble and unpredictable to demanding what you need with the confidence of a hungry tabby, each chapter is packed with lessons that are as subversive as they are practical.   Whether you’re facing off against a system that thrives on control or just trying to make sense of a chaotic world, these lessons will arm you with the tools—and the attitude—you need to fight back. Cats don’t ask for permission, and neither should you.

A Thousand Ways to Pay Attention...

Rebecca Schiller

It should have been Rebecca Schiller's dream come true: moving her young family to the English countryside to raise goats and coax their own fruit and vegetables from the land. But, as she writes: The summer of striding out toward a life of open fields and sacks of corn, I brought a confused black hole of something pernicious but not yet acknowledged along for the ride. 
 
 
 
Rebecca's health begins to crumble, with bewildering symptoms: frequent falls, uncontrollable rages, and mysterious lapses in memory. As she fights to be seen by specialists, her fledgling homestead—and her family—hang by increasingly tenuous threads. And when her diagnosis finally comes, it is utterly unexpected: severe ADHD. 
 
 
 
In her scramble for answers, Rebecca's consciousness alternately sears with pinpoint focus and spirals with connections. Childhood memories resurface with new meaning, and her daily life entwines with the history of women who tended this land before her. Her family weathers their growing pains where generations of acorns have fallen to rise again as trees, where ancient wolves and lynx once stalked the shadows. Written in unsparing, luminous prose, this is an all-absorbing memoir of one woman's newfound neurodivergence—and a clarion call to overturn the narrative that says minds are either normal and good or different and broken.
