Sinossi

Mythic Deities explores the profound influence of ancient beliefs by journeys through diverse cultures' pantheons, examining the roles, powers, and enduring impact of gods and goddesses on human faith and societal structures. Understanding deity worship provides insight into the human search for meaning and purpose. One intriguing fact is that the powers attributed to various deities often reflect a culture's values and fears, illustrating how societies projected their ideals and anxieties onto these divine figures.

 
The book uniquely emphasizes the ethical implications of deity worship, demonstrating how ancient beliefs shaped moral codes and social norms. This exploration unfolds chapter by chapter, starting with fundamental concepts of mythology and theology and proceeding into specific pantheons like those of Ancient Greece, Egypt, and Norse traditions.

 
The book's approach involves supporting its information with archaeological findings, primary source analyses, and comparative studies. By connecting fields like history, anthropology, and psychology, Mythic Deities provides a comprehensive understanding of deities' multifaceted role in human culture.

    Michel Foucault, a French philosopher, historian, and social theorist, is renowned for his critical exploration of power, knowledge, and social institutions. Born in 1926, Foucault’s work spans a range of disciplines, from philosophy to sociology, psychology, and political science. His intellectual journey reflects a unique approach to understanding human societies, focusing not on abstract metaphysical systems but on the structures that shape human behavior, knowledge, and institutions. 
    Foucault’s work is marked by a critique of the traditional ways of understanding the relationship between individuals and society. He challenged the dominant historical narratives and sought to uncover the deeper structures of power that influenced the development of knowledge. One of his central ideas was that knowledge and power are intimately connected—knowledge is not neutral but shaped by power relations that determine what is considered true or false. In this sense, his work was not just theoretical but deeply political, as it explored how systems of power create the conditions for knowledge and vice versa. 
    Foucault’s philosophy is often associated with his concept of "genealogy," a method he developed to investigate historical processes and the ways in which ideas, norms, and practices evolve over time. However, it is in his "archaeology of knowledge" that he makes his most significant philosophical contributions. The archaeological method is a way of analyzing the historical layers of knowledge and uncovering the deep structures that underlie our understanding of the world. Unlike traditional historiography, which tends to focus on narratives and individuals, Foucault's archaeology examines the discourses and institutions that create and maintain knowledge, highlighting the ways they shape and limit what can be known.

    An incredible journey of traumatic near-death moments, day to day drudgery, amusing situations, and brushes with greatness in World War II. 
     
     
     
    Life for a World War II paratrooper was grave and perilous; John H. Canfield's experience was no different. However, this young man found himself in so many crazy—sometimes humorous—situations that he almost forgot about how dangerous it was. 
     
     
     
    Filled with pranksters and superiors full of bravado and an unfortunate brush with racial bigotry with a fellow African American soldier, Canfield shares his many stories from basic training and jump school. But his best stories are from the war. From having to translate a dinner for an inebriated superior using his scant French, to getting chewed out by none other than General George S. Patton, Canfield shares a wealth of experiences from his WWII tour of the European theater. 
     
     
     
    In Small Victories in a Great Big War, John H. Canfield shows that half the battle is surviving, and that he did. With bravery and flair, Canfield returned home to Connecticut with more than a few amusing anecdotes. 
     
     
     
    More than seventy-five years after the end of World War II, John H. Canfield's stories are now shared with the world.
