Synopsis

"Forest Guardians" explores the profound, enduring relationship between humanity and forests, revealing how trees and their guardian spirits are deeply embedded in mythology, religion, and literature across cultures. The book examines the veneration of sacred trees and the prevalence of mystical forests, highlighting how these elements reflect our innate connection to the natural world. Consider, for example, how certain tree species like the oak, yew, and banyan, recur as symbols of power, life, and death in diverse mythologies, or how forests often serve as liminal spaces in folklore, where characters undergo transformative experiences. The book progresses from the origins of sacred groves and forest spirits in ancient religions to focused explorations of specific tree symbolism, recurring forest motifs, and the diverse forms of forest guardians. "Forest Guardians" uniquely weaves together mythological, religious, historical, and ecological perspectives, supported by primary sources like ancient texts and folklore, alongside modern scholarship. This approach illuminates the urgent need to re-evaluate our relationship with these essential ecosystems, connecting ancient beliefs with contemporary environmental ethics and conservation, especially in light of ongoing deforestation and climate change.

    No part of America scars its children as does the south. 
     
     
     
    In this incandescent memoir, Robert Coram tells how a rough-edged boy escaped from a nowhere little town in rural southwest Georgia and became an accomplished writer. 
     
     
     
    With a flawless ear and an unblinking eye, Coram escorts us across a unique landscape, capturing the nuances of life in a small southern town during the 1950s, not by writing of the romantic south, but rather of a south that can be narrow and harsh and brutal. He takes on the big issues: race, religion, love, death, and family values. His coming-of-age story is troubling, sometimes embarrassing, but always hilarious. 
     
     
     
    As a native son, Coram captures in pitch-perfect tone the voice of a teenage boy, a new voice from the old south. 
     
     
     
    Coram holds nothing back. No part of his early life is too embarrassing or too personal, including losing his virginity in a church and public beatings by his father. Though centered on Coram's long-suffering mother, his brutal father, and his dog that lived in hope, the main feature of his story may be the humor. Rarely does a writer draw so much humor from such a harsh childhood. His story will linger in your heart.

    “UAPs and the Nuclear Puzzle will help inform the public and move us forward on our journey toward a new understanding of history, UAP, and of our own true nature with respect to the larger reality that is revealing itself to us.” —Leslie Kean, bestselling author of UFOs: Generals, Pilots, and Government Officials Go on the Record   “I can’t overstate the significance of military testimony from witnesses such as former launch control officer Robert Salas. It’s brave folks like him who have kept me pushing for further government transparency on what may turn out to be the biggest story in modern times.” —James Fox, director and producer of Moment of Contact   Robert Salas, a retired United States Air Force officer, witnessed firsthand a UAP (unidentified aerial phenomenon) while visiting and disabling nuclear missiles. He shares his experience as well as the many incidents of similar visits during the last eighty years that have been covered up.   In 1969, the US Air Force issued a statement that read‚ “No UFO reported, investigated, and evaluated by the Air Force was ever an indication of threat to our national security.” This statement has been proven untrue by the testimony of many military officers and airmen and the documentation of incidents involving UFOs and nuclear weapons, testimonies of which the US Air Force was fully aware. UAPs and the Nuclear Puzzle details many of these testimonies—some for the first time.

    What World Is This? - A Pandemic...

    The pandemic compels us to ask fundamental questions about our place in the world: the many ways humans rely on one another, how we vitally and sometimes fatally breathe the same air, share the surfaces of the earth, and exist in proximity to other porous creatures in order to live in a social world. What we require to live can also imperil our lives. How do we think from, and about, this common bind? 
     
     
     
    Judith Butler shows how COVID-19 and all its consequences—political, social, ecological, economic—have challenged us to reconsider the sense of the world that such disasters bring about. Drawing on the work of Max Scheler, Maurice Merleau-Ponty, and critical feminist phenomenology, Butler illuminates the conditions in which we seek to make sense of our disorientation, precarity, and social bonds. What World Is This? offers a new account of interdependency in which touching and breathing, capacities that amid a viral outbreak can threaten life itself, challenge the boundaries of the body and selfhood. Criticizing notions of unlimited personal liberty and the killing forces of racism, sexism, and classism, this book suggests that the pandemic illuminates the potential of shared vulnerabilities as well as the injustice of pervasive inequalities.
