Sinossi

Chronicled Plagues explores the profound impact of plagues on human history, focusing on how religious interpretations and cultural narratives have shaped our understanding of these devastating events. Examining major historical outbreaks like the Black Death and the Spanish Flu, the book analyzes how societies have used religion to explain and cope with widespread disease, divine judgment, and mortality. Intriguingly, these religious interpretations, while often stemming from fear, have also fostered cultural resilience and communal support. 

 
The book uniquely emphasizes the intersection of history and religion to reveal humanity's response to plagues. It begins by establishing a historical context for understanding major plague outbreaks and early epidemiological theories. It then progresses to examining religious interpretations across traditions, focusing on theological responses and ritual practices. Finally, it analyzes the impact of plagues on myths, literature, and art, tracing their influence on themes of morality and social order. 

 
This approach provides a comprehensive view of how plagues have shaped cultural expression, offering valuable insights into how we construct meaning in the face of suffering.

Am I Aware of the Process of...

Jiddu Krishnamurti

Am I aware of the process of thinking? 18 August 1965.Can I see that thought is destructive, except where it is essential? Why is it that we don't see something immediately? Do you know when you are thinking? Is the thing that we call thinking thinking at all? Do you think from the background noise when a problem arises? When the mind becomes totally aware of the background, is there thinking when a problem arises? What happens when I am aware of this hum, this noise incessantly going on? Is the background noise different from the observer? How am I to live an everyday life with complete silence?

America's Forgotten Army - The...

Charles Whiting

An enthralling account of the World War Two exploits of the U.S. Seventh Army, from Sicily to France to the final assault on Hitler's mountain retreat, the Eagle's Nest. 
 
 
 
Although overshadowed by the other Allied armies fighting in Europe, the impact of the U.S. Seventh Army on the course of the Second World War deserves to be remembered. 
 
 
 
In Sicily, under the command of General George S. Patton, it swept away Axis forces as it captured village after village. It then moved northwards charging "up the gut" of Nazi-held Europe. 
 
 
 
Charles Whiting uncovers the actions of this overlooked army and its men—charging against dug-in German machine gun nests, launching ferocious attacks on the bloodied snows of the Alps, and fending off terrifying Panzer-led counterattacks. 
 
 
 
This book also draws attention to many of the fascinating figures who led it, from Patton to his successor as commander of the Seventh General Alexander "Sandy" Patch, to the numerous brilliant soldiers that fought under them, including the dynamic Lucian Truscott, daredevil Robert T. Frederick, aggressive "Iron Mike" O'Daniel, talented Frenchman Jacques LeClerc, and America's most decorated soldier, Audie Murphy.

The Witch of Pungo - Grace...

Scott O. Moore

The authoritative cultural history of Virginia's most famous accused witch 
 
 
 
In 1706, Grace Sherwood was "ducked" after her neighbors in Princess Anne County accused her of witchcraft. Binding and throwing her into the Lynnhaven River, they waited to see whether she would float to the top (evidence of her guilt) or sink (proof of her innocence). Incredibly, she survived. This bizarre spectacle became an early piece of Virginia folklore as stories about Sherwood, the "Witch of Pungo," spread. Her legend still looms large in Tidewater. In 2006, Governor Tim Kaine even issued an informal pardon of Sherwood, read aloud by the mayor of Virginia Beach before the annual reenactment of Sherwood's ducking. 
 
 
 
This is the first book to explore Grace Sherwood's life and cultural impact in depth. Anyone interested in colonial Virginia, American folklore, and the history and legacy of witch trials will find much to enjoy in this spellbinding book.
