  Women of Ancient Greece -...

  The ancient Greeks created a rich tapestry of gods and goddesses that embodied the complexities of the human experience, and among them, the divine feminine figures stood out as powerful symbols of strength, wisdom, love, and conflict. The goddesses of ancient Greece were not merely passive figures but rather active forces that shaped both the natural world and the lives of mortals. Their stories reveal a deep understanding of the roles and expectations of women, as well as the power dynamics that governed ancient Greek society. 
  Among the most prominent of these divine figures was Athena, the goddess of wisdom, warfare, and craft. Athena was a paradoxical figure, blending intelligence with martial prowess. As the patron goddess of Athens, she embodied the city's values of logic, strategy, and civic duty. Her virginity, a defining characteristic, symbolized purity and independence, and her role as a warrior was unique in that it was based on strategic thinking rather than physical aggression. Athena's guidance was sought not just in matters of war but also in philosophy and the arts, making her one of the most revered figures in the pantheon. 
  In stark contrast to Athena's intellectual and strategic prowess, Aphrodite, the goddess of love, beauty, and desire, represented the compelling and often uncontrollable forces of attraction. Aphrodite's influence was not confined to the physical realm; she also governed the emotional and relational dynamics of gods and mortals alike. Her beauty and charm were legendary, capable of inciting both creation and destruction. Through her, the Greeks understood love not just as a harmonious union but also as a force that could disrupt order, as seen in the myth of her involvement in the Trojan War. Aphrodite’s power was as much about seduction as it was about the more fragile human emotions, teaching that love could be both transcendent and tumultuous.

  Japanese Mythology - Kami Demons...

  Japanese mythology is a rich tapestry woven from the threads of ancient stories, religious beliefs, and cultural practices that have evolved over centuries. At its core, this mythology provides a window into the Japanese worldview, where nature, spirituality, and humanity are deeply interconnected. It reveals how the Japanese people have understood their place in the universe, the origins of their land, and the divine forces that shape their existence. 
  Central to Japanese mythology is the concept of kami, which are spirits or deities that embody natural elements, ancestral spirits, and forces of nature. Unlike many Western interpretations of divinity, kami are not omnipotent or detached from the world; they exist alongside humanity, influencing daily life and requiring respect through rituals and offerings. This spiritual symbiosis between humans and kami has profoundly shaped Japanese cultural identity and continues to manifest in traditional practices and beliefs. 
  The two primary sources of Japanese mythology, the Kojiki (Records of Ancient Matters) and the Nihon Shoki (Chronicles of Japan), are texts that blend myth, history, and legend. Compiled in the 8th century, these works serve as foundational narratives for understanding the creation of Japan, the lineage of its emperors, and the values upheld by society. From the celestial plains of Takamagahara to the mysterious underworld of Yomi, these texts introduce readers to a vivid cosmology populated by gods, demons, and legendary heroes.

  A sweeping history of the American invention of modern money. 
  Economists endlessly debate the nature of legal tender monetary systems—coins and bills issued by a government or other authority. Yet the origins of these currencies have received little attention. 
  Dror Goldberg tells the story of modern money in North America through the Massachusetts colony during the seventeenth century. As the young settlement transitioned to self-governance and its economy grew, the need to formalize a smooth exchange emerged. Printing local money followed. 
  Easy Money illustrates how colonists invented contemporary currency by shifting its foundation from intrinsically valuable goods—such as silver—to the taxation of the state. Goldberg traces how this structure grew into a worldwide system in which, monetarily, we are all Massachusetts. Weaving economics, law, and American history, Easy Money is a new touchstone in the story of monetary systems.
