Synopsis

“Thunder and Myth” explores the global phenomenon of thunder, examining its cultural significance across diverse societies. It delves into how ancient cultures, from Norse mythology's Thor to Japan's Raijin, interpreted thunder as divine communication or powerful omens. This interdisciplinary study blends history, earth sciences, and cultural studies to reveal how these myths reflect humanity's quest to understand and assign meaning to natural events. The book uniquely contrasts scientific explanations with mythological interpretations, offering a deeper understanding of varying worldviews, while highlighting the enduring human tendency to seek order in the natural world.

 
The book is structured in three parts, starting with scientific foundations and common mythological themes. It then provides in-depth analyses of specific cultures and their thunder myths, considering geographical and social contexts. Finally, the book explores interdisciplinary connections, such as the influence of myths on art and the link between lightning-prone areas and potent thunder deities.

 
Understanding these myths can also inform modern environmental awareness, underscoring the importance of cultural context in responding to natural hazards.

    The utterly gripping story of the most outrageous case of cyber piracy prosecuted by the US Department of Justice 
    A former US Navy intelligence officer, David Locke Hall was a federal prosecutor when a bizarre-sounding website, CRACK99, came to his attention. It looked like Craigslist on acid, but what it sold was anything but amateurish: thousands of high-tech software products used largely by the military, and for mere pennies on the dollar. Want to purchase satellite tracking software? No problem. Aerospace and aviation simulations? No problem. Communications systems designs? No problem. Software for Marine One, the presidential helicopter? No problem. With delivery times and customer service to rival the world’s most successful online retailers, anybody, anywhere―including rogue regimes, terrorists, and countries forbidden from doing business with the United States―had access to these goods for any purpose whatsoever. 
    But who was behind CRACK99, and where were they? The Justice Department discouraged potentially costly, risky cases like this, preferring the low-hanging fruit that scored points from politicians and the public. But Hall and his colleagues were determined to find the culprit. They bought CRACK99’s products for delivery in the United States, buying more and more to appeal to the budding entrepreneur in the man they identified as Xiang Li. After winning his confidence, they lured him to Saipan―a US commonwealth territory where Hall’s own father had stormed the beaches with the marines during World War II. There they set up an audacious sting that culminated in Xiang Li’s capture and imprisonment. The value of the goods offered by CRACK99? A cool $100 million. 
    An eye-opening look at cybercrime and its chilling consequences for national security, CRACK99 reads like a caper that resonates with every amazing detail.

    In a cosmos teetering on the edge of oblivion, Ari, a masterful wielder of Time sorcery, is thrust into a desperate quest to save the very fabric of existence. An evil force, an Entity with a voracious hunger for cosmic convergence, seeks to collapse the universe into a singular point in space and time. To combat this existential threat, Ari must assemble an eclectic team of wizards, each with unique magical gifts. Guided by the enigmatic Oracle, a mechanized Supercomputer believed to be the last relic of an ancient race that may have transcended into a metaphysical realm, the wizards embark on a dangerous journey. The Oracle, possessing unparalleled knowledge, unveils a startling revelation: the salvation of all reality hinges upon the mysterious 26th-century Earth. As the team dashes through the currents of time, they must unravel cryptic clues and overcome formidable challenges to reach the designated temporal nexus. The destiny of the cosmos hangs in the balance as the Entity, a sentient black hole, relentlessly approaches the heart of the galaxy. The wizards' race against time becomes a desperate struggle to thwart the Entity's sinister plan before it merges with the great black hole, triggering a cataclysmic implosion that threatens to erase all existence. Ari and her band of sorcerers must navigate the intricate web of time, facing daunting adversaries and unlocking ancient secrets. Will they unravel the cosmic enigma in time to thwart the Entity's apocalyptic design, or will the universe succumb to the inexorable pull of the looming singularity?
