  This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.  
  Explore the foundational stories, beliefs, and cultural myths that shaped Western civilization and continue influencing how you think without your awareness. This illuminating audiobook examines how ancient narratives about gods, heroes, and cosmic order established frameworks still governing modern concepts of justice, gender, authority, and human nature. Learn why certain ideas feel instinctively true not because they reflect reality but because they were embedded in culture through myth before critical thinking developed. The narrator traces how Greek philosophy, Roman law, and religious mythology combined to create the mental furniture you inherited along with language itself. Discover how creation myths, heroic archetypes, and apocalyptic narratives continue shaping political ideologies, economic theories, and social expectations in disguised forms. Understand why questioning these inherited frameworks triggers defensive reactions since myths function as psychological foundations supporting entire worldviews. This audiobook reveals the arbitrary origins of beliefs you consider universal truths and shows how different civilizations developed alternative frameworks proving other ways of thinking remain possible. Learn to identify mythological thinking operating in modern contexts from national identities to technological utopianism. Perfect for curious minds questioning cultural assumptions and seeking to understand the invisible stories structuring consciousness, society, and the possibilities you can imagine for yourself and humanity.

  The Grand Strategy of Classical...

  More than 2,500 years ago, a confederation of small Greek city-states defeated the invading armies of Persia, the most powerful empire in the world. In this meticulously researched study, historian Paul Rahe argues that Sparta was responsible for the initial establishment of the Hellenic defensive coalition and was, in fact, the most essential player in its ultimate victory. 
  Drawing from an impressive range of ancient sources, including Herodotus and Plutarch, the author veers from the traditional Athenocentric view of the Greco-Persian Wars to examine from a Spartan perspective the grand strategy that halted the Persian juggernaut. Rahe provides a fascinating, detailed picture of life in Sparta circa 480 BC, revealing how the Spartans’ form of government and the regimen to which they subjected themselves instilled within them the pride, confidence, discipline, and discernment necessary to forge an alliance that would stand firm against a great empire, driven by religious fervor, that held sway over two-fifths of the human race.

  A friendship between an environmental historian and a chronically ill US Marine yields a powerful exploration into the toxic effects of war on the human body. 
   
   
   
  Alexander Lemons is a Marine Corps scout sniper who, after serving multiple tours during the Iraq War, returned home seriously and mysteriously ill. Joshua Howe is an environmental historian who met Lemons as a student in one of his classes. Together they have crafted a vital book that challenges us to think beyond warfare's acute violence of bullets and bombs to the "slow violence" of toxic exposure and lasting trauma. 
   
   
   
  Lemons vividly describes his time in Fallujah and elsewhere during the worst of the Iraq War, his descent into a decade-long battle with mysterious and severe sickness, and his return to health; Howe explains the many toxicities to which Lemons was exposed and their potential consequences. Together they cover the whirlwind of toxic exposures military personnel face from the things they touch and breathe in all the time. They also consider PTSD and traumatic brain injury, which are endemic among the military and cause and exacerbate all kinds of physical and mental health problems. Finally, they explore how both mainstream and alternative medicine struggle to understand, accommodate, and address the vast array of health problems among military veterans.

  At the core of this debut collection is a question – what is worth holding onto?
  Through poetic experiments that blend the academic and the artistic, Rhiya Pau queries complex characters and tender landscapes. Routes journeys from Ba's kitchen in Sonia Gardens to Independence hour in Delhi, across the pink shores of Nakuru, to meet a painter on Lee High Road.
  Celebrating fifty years since her community arrived in the UK, Pau chronicles the migratory histories of her ancestors and simultaneously lays bare the conflicts of identity that arise from being a member of the East African-Indian diaspora. In this multilingual discourse exhibiting vast formal range, Pau wrestles with language, narrative and memory, daring to navigate their collective fallibilities to architect her own identity.
  '[Routes]...holds up to the light the wisdom of the past, and asks what else is passed down along with it...a work of humane intelligence, formal experiment and linguistic verve' - Sarah Howe, Judge of Eric Gregory Awards 2022
