  • Famous Lost Cities of Antiquity The: The History of Large Settlements in Ancient Egypt Greece and the Middle East that Suddenly Disappeared - cover

    Famous Lost Cities of Antiquity...

    Throughout the millennia since the pharaohs ruled Egypt, peasants have routinely used remnants of ancient monuments for new housing structures, implements, and even fertilizer, and the situation is even more pronounced closer to the Mediterranean coast. Cities that once were major ports where the various branches of the Nile River flowed into the Mediterranean are now miles off the coastline, under hundreds of feet of water. The existence of these cities was known thanks to Egyptian and Greek historical sources, but their locations could never be positively identified until the advent of modern marine technology. In 1996, adventurer and scholar Franck Goddio identified what he believed was a major site just off the Mediterranean coastline in the Abu Qir Bay, east of Alexandria. It turned out Goddio had discovered the ancient city of Heracleion. 
If it were not for some very fortunate events and circumstances, the modern world might never have known about Mari. For a period of just under 100 years, the city of Mari in northern Mesopotamia-eastern Syria was one of the most, if not the most, important cities in the Near East. Founded by semi-nomadic Amorite tribes, Mari was gradually transformed over the span of centuries from a sleepy stop along the Euphrates River to the premier power in Near East during the early 2nd millennium BCE. 
Ubar continued to fascinate people around the world, and it seemed as though its secrets would remain hidden beneath the Arabian sands until the 1980s, when a photojournalist named Nicholas Clapp eventually turned his interest into a full-time endeavor to find Ubar and put together a team of adventurers and archaeologists. Working backwards from the few scant historical and geographical accounts that portray Ubar as a prosperous city or kingdom in the centuries before Islam, Clapp narrowed their search to a location on the edge of the Arabian Desert and it is there that they believed they found Ubar

    A cancer surgeon and acclaimed academic turns the scalpel inward — exploring the systems that guide, limit, and often distance us from what truly matters. Beginning with stories from his childhood in a mountain village near the Black Sea, he traces the growing gap between ideals and reality — in healthcare, and in life. 
In this powerful debut, personal memoir meets social reflection and existential questioning. With clarity and compassion, the author reveals what’s at risk when efficiency overrides human connection, and when authenticity is quietly replaced by conformity. His observations cut through assumptions, challenge deep-rooted beliefs, and question the roles we’re expected to play. 
As the journey unfolds, the author introduces the Zigana model — a dynamic compass for those seeking to grow consciously and courageously, beyond boundaries and silence. 
Cutting into the silence is literary non-fiction at its most vital — a call to rethink freedom, care, and meaning in a world shaped by invisible systems.

  • Teleology - Purpose in Nature: Understanding Design and Intent - cover

    Teleology - Purpose in Nature:...

    Teleology is the study of purpose, design, and goal-directedness in nature. It is a concept that has shaped philosophical, scientific, and theological discourse for centuries, offering explanations for why things exist and function the way they do. The term itself comes from the Greek word telos, meaning "end" or "goal," and logos, meaning "study" or "reason." At its core, teleology seeks to explain natural phenomena by considering their intended purpose or final cause rather than merely their material composition or mechanical processes. This perspective has been a fundamental part of human thought, influencing fields as diverse as biology, ethics, cosmology, and psychology. 
The significance of teleology lies in its ability to provide a framework for understanding the apparent order and directionality in the world. From the intricate adaptations of biological organisms to the finely tuned laws of the universe, teleological reasoning has historically been used to argue for the presence of intentionality or inherent purpose in natural systems. Philosophers such as Aristotle, who introduced the concept of final causes, and later thinkers like Thomas Aquinas, who integrated teleology into theological arguments, viewed the natural world as inherently purposeful. Even in modern times, teleological thinking persists in various scientific discussions, particularly in debates surrounding evolution, complexity, and emergent phenomena.

    Read by the author. 
Many of us feel like we don't belong or are out of touch with our true identity. Discover how you can gain a stronger sense of who God made you to be and step confidently into every relationship, fully owning your unique distinctions and celebrating the differences of others. 
Group dynamics can be based on the simplest forms of physical and cultural distinctions, and those who don't quite fit the mold of a group can feel like outsiders. The reality is none of us fit into a box. We're all unique with a mixed background—socially, culturally, experientially. For some of us, like Eli Bonilla Jr., we are also mixed ethnically. No one person is an identical copy of anyone else. 
In Mixed, Eli questions the basis of unity and inclusion and explores the multiple components of our identity, discovering how they can all be reconciled for God's purpose as we reflect His image. Mixed will lead you to:find peace with the complexity within yourself,understand yourself more deeply so you can relate to others,experience more human connection through a God-led identity, anddevelop greater empathy, celebrate cultures without creating division, and fight for people in the margins. 
  
Eli will remind you that God made you the way you are for good reason, and you belong wherever He says you belong. Pairing personal stories with biblical teaching, Eli will inspire you not to hold back from others but to confidently share the fullness of who you are, and to love, celebrate, and unite with people who are not just different, but beautifully complex.
