Sinopsis

“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.

    Vladimir Lenin lies in a tomb in Moscow's Red Square. History has not been kind to this Russian leader, his teachings reviled by modern mainstream politics. But in today's capitalist society, riven by class inequality and imperialist wars, perhaps it is worth returning to this communist icon's demand for "Peace, Land and Bread", and his radical understanding of democracy. 
     
     
     
    Lenin was wrestling with the question of "what is to be done?" when facing the catastrophes of his own time. Against the odds, the Bolshevik party succeeded in rejecting both the corrupt and decaying Romanov dynasty, as well as the capitalist economic system which had started to take root in Russia. 
     
     
     
    To understand how this happened, and what we can learn from him today, Paul Le Blanc takes us through Lenin's dynamic revolutionary thought, how he worked as part of a larger collective, and how he centered the labor movement in Russia and beyond, uncovering a powerful form of democracy that could transform our activism today.

    Magus - The Art of Magic from...

    In literary legend, Faustus is the quintessential occult personality of early modern Europe. The historical Faustus, however, was something quite different: a magus—a learned magician fully embedded in the scholarly currents and public life of the Renaissance. And he was hardly the only one. Anthony Grafton argues that the magus in sixteenth-century Europe was a distinctive intellectual type, both different from and indebted to medieval counterparts as well as contemporaries like the engineer, the artist, the Christian humanist, and the religious reformer. Alongside these better-known figures, the magus had a transformative impact on his social world. 
     
     
     
    Magus details the arts and experiences of several learned magicians. Grafton explores their methods, the knowledge they produced, the services they provided, and the overlapping political and social milieus to which they aspired—often, the circles of kings and princes. During the late fifteenth and early sixteenth centuries, these erudite men anchored debates about licit and illicit magic, the divine and the diabolical, and the nature of "good" and "bad" magicians. Over time, they turned magic into a complex art, which drew on contemporary engineering as well as classical astrology, probed the limits of what was acceptable in a changing society, and promised new ways to explore the self and exploit the cosmos.
