Beschreibung

Ritual Stone Uses explores the fascinating and widespread phenomenon of humans imbuing stones with ritual significance across various cultures and throughout history. It examines how ordinary geological objects transform into powerful symbols deeply embedded in social structures and belief systems. The book highlights the diverse ceremonial applications of stone, ranging from monumental constructions, like Stonehenge, to smaller, personally significant objects and explores the varying interpretations and symbolic meanings ascribed to stone, revealing cultural specificity within global patterns. This anthropological study argues that ritual stone use isn't a primitive practice, but a sophisticated expression of human creativity and worldview. By analyzing recurring patterns and unique variations in how societies use stone in rituals, the book demonstrates these practices play a critical role in reinforcing social cohesion and mediating between the human and supernatural realms.

The book progresses from establishing a theoretical framework to examining case studies from regions around the world. Drawing from archaeological findings, ethnographic accounts, and historical texts, the book provides a holistic understanding of ritual stone uses. It offers a fresh analytical approach, combining anthropological methods with techniques in spatial analysis and digital humanities. What sets this book apart is its comparative approach and emphasis on the dynamic interplay between material objects, human agency, and cultural context within religious studies.

History of Greece to the Death...

John Bagnell Bury

J.B. Bury wrote his “History of Greece” before World War I, but it is such a good overview of classical Greek history that the third edition was still being used as a college textbook in the late 1960's. In the newer editions, a co-author rewrote the material dealing with the early centuries where there have been new archeological developments, but the later chapters and Bury’s framework were retained essentially unchanged. Bury writes in a lucid, easily understood style that entertains as it educates. The book covers artistic and literary development, as well as politics and war, and its field of view includes western Asia Minor, the Agean archipelago, and “Greater Greece” (Sicily and Southern Italy).

Anglophobia - The Unrecognised...

Harry Richardson, Frank Salter

“The white race is the biggest murderer, rapist, pillager, and thief of the modern world.” So said journalist Nikole Hannah-Jones. 
Had she said this about any other race, it is unlikely that she would ever have found employment with a mainstream media outlet. Yet not only was Nikole Hannah-Jones hired by The New York Times; she received the coveted Pulitzer Prize for journalism for the 1619 project which also defames white people. 
Why is it that such hateful rhetoric is no barrier to employment at The New York Times, whilst criticism of any other racial group would have you fired in a New York minute? Why is Critical Race Theory and its defamation of white people and their societies seeping into every corner of education, the media, and the corporate world? 
These and other questions need answers because Western civilisation in Australia and elsewhere is facing an existential threat. Anglophobia The Unrecognised Hatred analyses and articulates the root causes of this pervasive anti-white hatred. 
The book is a systematic rejection of the hypocritical notion that racism is acceptable – so long as it is only directed at white men, women and children.
