  The Golden Age of Islam -...

  The Islamic Golden Age, which spanned from the 8th to the 13th century, was a period of extraordinary cultural, intellectual, and scientific development within the Islamic world. This flourishing era was deeply rooted in the foundational principles of Islam, where the pursuit of knowledge, the preservation of classical texts, and the quest for understanding the natural world were seen as acts of divine service. The Islamic civilization, during this time, became the beacon of knowledge and scholarship, laying the groundwork for significant advances in various fields that would influence the world for centuries to come. 
  The foundation of this golden age can be traced back to the establishment of the early Islamic empire, starting with the Rashidun Caliphate and continuing through the Umayyad and Abbasid Caliphates. Under the Abbasids, particularly, the capital city of Baghdad became a hub of intellectual activity and learning. The Abbasid caliphs, especially during the reign of Caliph Harun al-Rashid and his successors, recognized the importance of knowledge and promoted the translation of Greek, Persian, and Indian texts into Arabic. This movement, known as the translation movement, brought works of classical antiquity, such as those of Aristotle, Galen, and Ptolemy, to Islamic scholars. These translated texts formed the basis of advanced research in fields like philosophy, mathematics, and medicine. 
  At the heart of the Islamic intellectual renaissance was the House of Wisdom (Bayt al-Hikma), an institution established in Baghdad that became a center for scholars from diverse backgrounds. The House of Wisdom hosted translators, philosophers, mathematicians, astronomers, and doctors who would carry out research and engage in dialogue that bridged cultures and philosophies. This institution was instrumental in the synthesis of knowledge from different civilizations, fostering an environment of intellectual collaboration and exchange.

  Two workplace rivals. One festive competition. And a romance that upends it all. 
   
  Every December two things are guaranteed for graphic designer Mackenzie Graham—Christmas celebrations and the annual promotion at her workplace.  
   
  Those two things are by no means mutually exclusive. In fact, the better an employee is at harnessing the Christmas spirit, the more likely they’ll win the new job. With her social anxiety, Mackenzie never thought she’d be a contender in her company’s holiday  
  competition, so how exactly has she found herself dueling her workplace crush with wrapping paper tubes and using tinsel as her weapon of choice for a much-needed raise? 
   
  Jeremy Fletcher’s life is meticulously planned out, including how to win this year’s promotion at work. Not only will the new position fulfill some of his career goals, but as a single guardian to his twin niece and nephew, he needs the salary increase to support his  
  family. Jeremy has barely noticed Mackenzie Graham around the office, but now that she’s his rival, he can’t stop thinking about her.  
   
  Her quirkiness intrigues him, and he’s afraid that if he can’t get his head on straight, the promotion isn’t the only thing he’ll end up losing to Mackenzie.

  Anubis - Ancient Egypt’s Lord of...

  Anubis is among the most recognizable gods of ancient Egypt. Is Anubis a relic of the past, or is he actively venerated now? Author Charlie Larson, a longtime priest and devotee of Anubis, answers these questions and more. Portrayed as either a black jackal or as a jackal-headed man, Anubis is Egypt's original Lord of the Dead. Anubis's domain extends beyond death, however; he is also a guardian of children and travelers and a finder of lost things. He is as modern as he is ancient—appearing in comic books, video games, and in Neil Gaiman's book American Gods and its television adaptation. 
   
   
    
  Anubis was among the most significant gods of ancient Egypt. In modern times, Anubis has emerged as a sacred patron of mediums and occultists. It's widely believed that his image is among the two canines found on the tarot Moon card. 
   
   
    
  Long overshadowed, at least in books, by Egyptian goddesses such as Isis and Sekhmet, Larson's book focuses the spotlight squarely on the jackal-headed god. His book features history and mythology but is also a practical guide to working with Anubis now. It features devotional practices and modern worship that includes rituals, prayers/invocations, correspondences, altars, and epithets. The book leads the listener on a journey of exploration into all things Anubis, exploring his various facets.
