  Face In The Moon The (De Facie...

  Plutarch

  In 100 AD, Plutarch wrote what would become the first science fiction about the civilisation on the moon, appended to a rigorous scientific analysis of current knowledge about the moon. 
   
  Orbital mechanics, optics, atmospheric refraction, lunar geography, planetary and stellar composition, xenobotany, gravitation, heliocentricity, eclipse geometry and more are discussed as the state of the art is unpacked. Often startlingly modern for a work that is two millennia old, it serves as a reminder that science began long, long before norms of the modern scientific era were established.  
   
  The first half reads as genuine natural philosophy. Plutarch's speakers debate the nature of the lunar surface, rejecting the notion of a perfect celestial sphere made up of fire and ether in favour of a body with mountains, valleys, and shadow-casting terrain. They examine reflected light, atmospheric optics, and the mechanics of eclipse. One speaker advances a proto-gravitational argument: that "down" is a local condition, that objects fall toward whatever body they belong to, and that the moon holds its own just as Earth holds ours. 
  The second half carries that physical moon into mythological territory. A soul narrative describes the lunar surface as a way-station between lives, a realm where mind and spirit undergo staged separation before returning to the cosmos or descending again to Earth. Discussing the voyages taken as the mind separates from the soul in journeys around the moon, it serves as both theological and science-fictional. 
  Perfect for readers drawn to the history of science and the speculations that arise from it, this book is the first known moment empirical observation and speculative reasoning combined, in what would  millennia later be called hard sci fi.

  In this beautifully illustrated book that's Song of Achilles meets Secret Life of Trees, readers will discover the plants cultivated by the Greek Gods–many of which can still be experimented with today–for a myriad of uses.  In Greek mythology, plants were used for tools, intoxication, warfare, food, medicine, magic, and rituals. When Prometheus stole fire from the Olympian gods and gave it to mankind, he hid it in a stalk of giant fennel. Ancient Greeks waiting to question the oracles were given cannabis as part of their cleansing rituals. A quince fruit started the Trojan war. The goddess Demeter was so distraught when Hades kidnapped her daughter that she caused winter to blanket the earth, killing all plants. Mythic Plants focuses on how the ancient Greeks used plants in their lives and loves and conquests—some of which we can still use. Includes tips throughout for bringing these ancient plants into your garden.

  Beyond Sled Dogs and Gold 
   
   
   
  Somewhere between myths and hard facts you find Nome, poised also between yesterday and tomorrow. Drawing on his background in anthropology and an equal passion for history, Michael Engelhard surveys the seam that links two neighboring continents through the lens of one pivotal city. The region's legacy of millennia shines on pages enriched by this writer's recollections—from mammoths to Cold War monuments, from a spa turned orphanage, to cyclist miners and shaman hoards. Meet the explorers and adventurers, reindeer herders and hustlers, the dancers, drummers, dreamers, warriors, walrus-tusk carvers, and whalers, clergy, foragers, and photographers who shaped a place of conflicting visions as thoroughly as it shaped them.

  Listen to psychotherapist Joe Nucci as he dispels common mental health myths and replaces them with no-nonsense truths and accessible guidance for real healing. 
  The popularization of mental health content on social media has led to an epidemic of mental health misinformation. In Psychobabble, licensed psychotherapist Joe Nucci argues that too many of us are self-diagnosing, improperly deploying therapy-speak, and even coaching others to engage in harmful activities under the guise of “self-care.” 
  Nucci dismantles 40 popular misconceptions, such as: 
  Everyone needs to go to therapy.Your feelings are credible.People gaslight you when they disagree.Mindfulness is good for everyone.Everyone has trauma.The reason you can’t focus is ADHD. 
  This dangerous misinformation encourages well-meaning individuals to make consequential life decisions based on false beliefs, half-truths, and the advice of unlicensed armchair experts. It is time for a professional to call this out. Nucci replaces these myths with liberating truths that can help readers avoid misinformation, navigate important philosophical debates, and better maneuver their own mental health journeys. He shares client examples and evidence-based psychological theory, and draws from reputable studies and research. 
  TikTok influencers and “life coaches” create viral videos telling people to cut off their problematic parents, and are cheered on by millions of followers. Recent divorcees proudly declare on Instagram that they are finally healing from their “narcissistic” ex-partner, even though you get the sense they can’t actually define that word. Teenage “mental health advocates” lament the struggles of living with autism, but then subtly add that their condition is “self-diagnosed.” It is time for a professional to call out the misinformation and absurdity. 
  Psychobabble is a must-listen audiobook for anyone who values mental health and cares about others.
