  In this beautifully illustrated book that's Song of Achilles meets Secret Life of Trees, readers will discover the plants cultivated by the Greek Gods–many of which can still be experimented with today–for a myriad of uses.  In Greek mythology, plants were used for tools, intoxication, warfare, food, medicine, magic, and rituals. When Prometheus stole fire from the Olympian gods and gave it to mankind, he hid it in a stalk of giant fennel. Ancient Greeks waiting to question the oracles were given cannabis as part of their cleansing rituals. A quince fruit started the Trojan war. The goddess Demeter was so distraught when Hades kidnapped her daughter that she caused winter to blanket the earth, killing all plants. Mythic Plants focuses on how the ancient Greeks used plants in their lives and loves and conquests—some of which we can still use. Includes tips throughout for bringing these ancient plants into your garden.

  Democratic Socialism Defined -...

  Democratic socialism is a political and economic ideology that seeks to combine the principles of democracy with the goals of social welfare and economic equality. Rooted in the broader tradition of socialism, democratic socialism differentiates itself by advocating for the implementation of socialist policies through democratic means rather than authoritarian or revolutionary approaches. It envisions a society where wealth and resources are more equitably distributed, ensuring that essential services such as healthcare, education, and housing are accessible to all, regardless of socioeconomic status. 
  The historical development of democratic socialism can be traced back to the 19th and early 20th centuries when socialist thinkers began to grapple with the failures and excesses of unregulated capitalism. Influenced by Karl Marx, Eduard Bernstein, and later democratic theorists, the movement sought to address economic inequality while maintaining democratic governance. This ideological blend resonated strongly in Europe, where parties such as the British Labour Party and the Social Democratic Party of Germany championed policies that merged socialist ideals with democratic frameworks. 
  At its core, democratic socialism emphasizes that democracy should extend beyond the political sphere to include economic decision-making. This principle advocates for increased worker participation in corporate governance, fair labor practices, and the regulation of industries to prevent exploitation and ensure public benefit. Rather than abolishing private enterprise, democratic socialism often supports a mixed economy, combining elements of both private and public ownership to balance innovation with social responsibility.

  Our seduction into beliefs in competition, scarcity, and acquisition are producing too many casualties. We need to depart a kingdom that creates isolation, polarized debate, an exhausted planet, and violence that comes with the will to empire. The abbreviation of this empire is called a consumer culture. 
   
   
   
  We think the free-market ideology that surrounds us is true and inevitable and represents progress. We are called to better adapt, be more agile, more lean, more schooled, more, more, more. Give it up. There is no such thing as customer satisfaction. 
   
   
   
  We need a new narrative. An Other Kingdom takes us out of a culture of addictive consumption into a place where life is ours to create together. This way depends upon a neighborly covenant—an agreement that we together, will better raise our children, be healthy, be connected, be safe, and provide a livelihood. 
   
   
   
  The authors invite you on a journey of departure from our consumer market culture. Discover an alternative set of beliefs that have the capacity to evoke a culture where poverty, violence, and shrinking well-being are not inevitable. An Other Kingdom outlines this journey to construct a future outside the systems world of solutions.
