Summary

In "Mexican Archæology," Thomas Athol Joyce meticulously investigates the rich tapestry of Mexico's ancient civilizations, delving into their artistic, cultural, and historical legacies. The book is a quintessential exploration woven with analytical depth and rich descriptions, reflecting Joyce's command of the archaeological field. Each chapter seamlessly integrates meticulous research with vivid illustrations, making the complex interplay of Mexico's pre-Columbian societies accessible and engaging. Joyce situates his study within a broader intellectual tradition, drawing on both scientific inquiry and historical narratives, thus highlighting the significance of Mexican archæology in understanding human civilization more broadly. Thomas Athol Joyce, a distinguished archaeologist and museum curator, was profoundly influenced by his extensive fieldwork in Latin America and his passion for indigenous cultures. His academic pursuits and firsthand experiences in the burgeoning field of archaeology provide a solid foundation for this work. Joyce's dedication to understanding and preserving the cultural heritage of Mexico mirrors his belief in the importance of archaeology as a bridge connecting past and present societies. I highly recommend "Mexican Archæology" to scholars, students, and enthusiasts alike. This work is not only a scholarly text but also a profound homage to the enduring legacy of Mexico's ancient peoples, prompting readers to appreciate and reflect upon the complexities of human civilization.

    The Will to Believe

    "The Will to Believe" is a philosophical essay written by William James in 1896. The essay is a defense of the concept of religious faith and argues that belief can be justified even in the absence of objective evidence. 
    James argues that there are some beliefs, such as religious beliefs, that cannot be proven or disproven by empirical evidence. He contends that in cases where there is insufficient evidence to support a belief, individuals are justified in using their will to believe in order to hold on to what they consider to be important or valuable beliefs. 
    James also argues that the act of believing itself can have positive effects on an individual's life. Belief can provide a sense of meaning and purpose, as well as a framework for understanding the world. Furthermore, James contends that individuals who possess a strong will to believe are more likely to succeed in achieving their goals, as they are more motivated and focused. 
    "The Will to Believe" was a controversial work in its time, and it continues to be debated by philosophers and scholars today. While some have criticized James's arguments for promoting irrationality and dogmatism, others have praised his defense of personal autonomy and individual freedom of thought. Overall, "The Will to Believe" is an important contribution to the ongoing philosophical discourse on the nature of belief and faith.

    So ancient was Totemism in Egypt that the Totems of the human Mothers had become the signs of Goddesses, in whom the head of the beast was blended with the figure of the human female. The Totems of the human Mothers had attained the highest status as Totems of a Motherhood that was held to be divine, the Motherhood in Nature which was elemental in its origin. --from "Totemism, Tattoo and Fetishism as Forms of Sign Language" It goes unappreciated by modern Egyptologists, but it is embraced by those who savor the concept of a "hidden history" of humanity, and those who approach all human knowledge from the perspective of the esoteric. Gerard Massey's massive Ancient Egypt: The Light of the World--first published in 1907 and the crowning achievement of the self-taught scholar--redefines the roots of Christianity via Egypt, proposing that Egyptian mythology was the basis for Jewish and Christian beliefs. Here, Cosimo proudly presents Book 2 of Ancient Egypt, in which Massey reads the prehistoric story of human civilization that can be studied in the language of ceremonial rites, ancient customs, and ritual dance, and consequently explores the resultant concept that religion evolved out of expressions of human fertility and sexuality--particularly as embodied in the primeval symbols of blood, sacrifice, and motherhood--and formed the first influences on Judeo-Christianity. Peculiar and profound, this work will intrigue and delight readers of history, religion, and mythology. British author GERALD MASSEY (1828-1907) published works of poetry, spiritualism, Shakespearean criticism, and theology, but his best-known works are in the realm of Egyptology, including A Book of the Beginnings and The Natural Genesis.

    "One of those rare books that quickly became the standard work in its field." ―Anne Firor Scott, Duke University 
     
     
     
    Living with the dual burdens of racism and sexism, slave women in the plantation South assumed roles within the family and community that contrasted sharply with traditional female roles in the larger American society. 
     
     
     
    This revised edition of Ar'n't I a Woman? reviews and updates the scholarship on slave women and the slave family, exploring new ways of understanding the intersection of race and gender and comparing the myths that stereotyped female slaves with the realities of their lives. Above all, this groundbreaking study shows us how black women experienced freedom in the Reconstruction South—their heroic struggle to gain their rights, hold their families together, resist economic and sexual oppression, and maintain their sense of womanhood against all odds.
