Hidden Brilliance - Redefining...

John Harpoon

Genius is often perceived through a narrow lens, typically defined by extraordinary achievements, groundbreaking discoveries, or exceptional skills. However, this traditional view of genius overlooks many individuals whose brilliance remains hidden from the mainstream. The nature of genius is far more complex and multifaceted than society tends to acknowledge. It exists not only in those who are celebrated publicly but also in those whose contributions go unnoticed or unrecognized due to societal limitations or biases. 
At its core, genius is about exceptional intellectual capacity, but this capacity can manifest in many different ways. It is not always about creating world-changing inventions or becoming a famous name. For many, genius lies in quiet innovation, subtle insights, and the ability to solve problems in unique and unconventional ways. It can be seen in the person who finds creative solutions to everyday challenges or in the thinker who makes a significant impact in a specific, narrow field of knowledge, even if that knowledge doesn’t capture the world’s attention.

Society: The Basics - A Simple...

Fred Grandsen

Sociology is the systematic study of society, human behavior, and social interactions. It explores how individuals relate to one another and how social structures, such as institutions, norms, and values, shape these interactions. The origins of sociology can be traced back to the early 19th century when scholars began to analyze the effects of rapid social changes brought about by industrialization, urbanization, and political revolutions. Auguste Comte, a French philosopher, is often credited with founding sociology and introducing the idea that societies evolve through distinct stages of development, which he described as the theological, metaphysical, and scientific stages. Comte emphasized the importance of using scientific methods to study society, laying the groundwork for the discipline's emergence as a formal field of study.
Sociology seeks to understand the underlying patterns and structures that govern social life. It examines topics such as social roles, institutions, class structures, race, gender, and family dynamics. Sociologists use various methods to study society, including surveys, interviews, participant observation, and statistical analysis. These methods allow them to identify trends, uncover social inequalities, and explain how social change occurs. For example, Emile Durkheim, one of the early pioneers of sociology, studied the causes of suicide and concluded that social integration and regulation significantly influence individuals' behavior. His work demonstrated that even personal actions have social underpinnings, highlighting the importance of understanding the broader social context.

Rumbles - A Curious History of...

Elsa Richardson

The fascinating—and often secret—history of the body's most fascinating system: the gut. 
 
 
 
The stomach is notoriously outspoken. It growls, gurgles, and grumbles while other organs remain silent, inconspicuous, and content. For centuries humans have puzzled over this rowdy organ, deliberating on the extent of its influence over cognition, mental wellbeing, and emotions, and wondering how the gut became so central to our sense of self. 
 
 
 
Traveling from ancient Greece to Victorian England, eighteenth-century France to modern America, historian Elsa Richardson leads us on a tour of the gut, exploring all the ways that we have imagined, theorized, and probed the mysteries of the gastroenterological system. We'll meet a diverse cast of characters including Edwardian body builders, hunger-striking suffragettes, demons, medieval alchemists, and one poor teenage girl plagued by a remarkably vocal gut, all united by this singular organ. 
 
 
 
Engaging, eye-opening, and thought-provoking, Rumbles leaves no stone unturned, scrutinizing religious tracts and etiquette guides, satirical cartoons and political pamphlets, in its quest to answer the millennia-old question: Are we really ruled by our stomachs?

The Rosicrucian Mysteries - An...

Max Heindel

Max Heindel is recognized as one of the greatest western mystics of the 20th century and he is the founder of the Rosicrucian Fellowship and author of a number of essential Rosicrucian works.  
First published in 1916, Heindel's "The Rosicrucian Mysteries" is regarded as a classic work providing a guide for students to understand basic Rosicrucian teachings. 
Max Heindel's mysticism is set firmly in the western tradition of the Gnosis. Following a series of disappointments and ill health, Heindel claims to have been visited by a Spiritual Being, who he identified as an Elder Brother of the Rosicrucian Order. From this entity he received a compelling explanation of the spiritual evolution of both the Cosmos and Humanity, couched in terms best suited to the logical, linear mind of western culture. 
  
"The Rosicrucian Mysteries" is an elementary exposition of these teachings and training methods, and a perfect introduction to the philosophy of this important teacher of the Western Mystery Tradition.
