Sinopsis

Sacred Mountain Sites explores the universal reverence for mountains across cultures, revealing their enduring significance as spiritual landscapes. Mountains often feature prominently in religious practices, serving as settings for rituals and ceremonies. For example, the Inca civilization performed rituals on Andean peaks, while Mount Kailash holds immense importance in Tibetan Buddhism. Mountains also functioned as ancient astronomical systems, allowing indigenous peoples to track celestial events. This book examines burial practices in mountainous regions, where elevation and proximity to the heavens influenced mortuary customs. Mountains are not merely geographical features but act as potent symbols linking the earthly and divine realms. Through archaeological findings, historical accounts, and anthropological studies, the book argues that this consistent reverence reflects a fundamental human desire to connect with something greater.

 
The book progresses from introducing sacred geography concepts to exploring ritual landscapes, burial grounds, and celestial observatories. By presenting detailed case studies worldwide, the book highlights the diverse integration of mountains into spiritual and practical life, making it a valuable resource for understanding cultural preservation, anthropology, and world history.

    Love Offers No Safety: Nigeria’s Queer Men Speak is a raw and powerful collection of 25 first-person narratives that explore the diverse experience of queer Nigerian men. These stirring stories cut across age, class, religion, ethnicity, family and relationships, offering a glimpse into what it means to survive as a queer man in Nigeria. From Tunji, who takes us back to the thriving networking community before social media, to Chukwori, who struggles to reconcile his need to serve God with his sexuality, and Abdulkarim, who frustratingly wonders if he’ll ever stop working twice as hard to be accepted, these stories are full of contradictions, anger, resiliency, profound insight, and radical hope.
    
    
    With heightened levels of oppression, violence, and discrimination faced by LGBTQ Nigerians due to the Same Sex Marriage (Prohibition) Law, these voices remind us of what the queer community in Nigeria has always been fighting for - the freedom to be themselves, love themselves, and love each other, despite being viewed as unworthy. Love Offers No Safety is a heart-breaking yet hopeful reminder that love knows no boundaries and offers no safety, but it is worth fighting for.

    Foolproof - Why Misinformation...

    From fake news to conspiracy theories, from inflammatory memes to misleading headlines, misinformation has swiftly become the defining problem of our era. The crisis threatens the integrity of our democracies, our ability to cultivate trusting relationships, even our physical and psychological well-being—yet most attempts to combat it have proven insufficient. 
     
     
     
    With remarkable clarity, Sander van der Linden explains why our brains are so vulnerable to misinformation. Like a virus, misinformation infects our minds, exploiting shortcuts in how we see and process information to alter our beliefs, modify our memories, and replicate at astonishing rates. Once the virus takes hold, it's very hard to cure. 
     
     
     
    But we aren't helpless. As van der Linden shows based on award-winning original research, we can cultivate immunity through the innovative science of "prebunking": inoculating people against false information by preemptively exposing them to a weakened dose, thus empowering them to identify and fend off its manipulative tactics. Deconstructing the characteristic techniques of conspiracies and misinformation, van der Linden gives listeners practical tools to defend themselves and others against nefarious persuasion—whether at scale or around their own dinner table.
