Sinopsis

In "The Last Fight of the Revenge," Walter Raleigh presents a riveting narrative that captures the dramatic clash between Sir Richard Grenville's ship, the Revenge, and a formidable fleet of Spanish galleons in 1591. The poem, notable for its vivid imagery and stirring diction, employs a blend of historical recount and lyrical storytelling, reflecting the tumult of maritime conflict during the Elizabethan era. Raleigh masterfully weaves themes of valor, loyalty, and sacrifice, embodying the spirit of English nationalism amid the backdrop of fierce naval confrontations that defined his time. Walter Raleigh, an influential figure of the Renaissance, was not only a poet but also a soldier and explorer, deeply engaged in the political and maritime issues of his age. His personal experiences with naval expeditions and his close ties to Queen Elizabeth I imbued him with insights that significantly informed his writing. "The Last Fight of the Revenge" serves as both a homage to Grenville'Äôs bravery and a critique of the prevailing conflicts that characterized Raleigh'Äôs world, providing readers a window into the ethos of Elizabethan England. This powerful poem is a must-read for anyone interested in maritime history, early modern literature, or the complexities of national identity. Raleigh's eloquent reflection on heroism and tragedy ensures that "The Last Fight of the Revenge" resonates deeply with contemporary themes of honor and sacrifice, making it a timeless piece worthy of both scholarly attention and casual readership.

  • Japanese Mythology - Kami Demons Spirits and Myths of Japan - cover

    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.

    This timely book unravels race and emotion in the workplace—exploring why racial emotion is often left out of equity conversations and why we must confront it. 
     
     
     
    Racial Emotion at Work is an invitation to understand our own emotions and associated behaviors around race—and much more. With this surprising and timely book, Tristin K. Green takes us beyond diversity trainings and other individualized solutions to discrimination and inequality in employment, calling for sweeping changes in how the law and work organizations treat and shape racial emotions. 
     
     
      
    Green provides listeners with the latest research on racial emotions in interracial interactions and ties this research to thinking about discrimination and disadvantage at work. We see how our racial emotions can result in discrimination, and how our institutions—the law and work organizations—value and skew our racial emotions in ways that place the brunt of negative consequences on people of color. It turns out we need to reset our institutional and not just our personal radars on racial emotion to advance racial justice. Racial Emotion at Work shows how we can rise to the task.

    Why do people choose authoritarianism over freedom? The classic study of the psychological appeal of fascism by a New York Times–bestselling author.  The pursuit of freedom has indelibly marked Western culture since Renaissance humanism and Protestantism began the fight for individualism and self-determination. This freedom, however, can make people feel unmoored, and is often accompanied by feelings of isolation, fear, and the loss of self, all leading to a desire for authoritarianism, conformity, or destructiveness. It is not only the question of freedom that makes Fromm’s debut book a timeless classic. In this examination of the roots of Nazism and fascism in Europe, Fromm also explains how economic and social constraints can also lead to authoritarianism. By the author of The Sane Society and The Anatomy of Human Destructiveness, this is a fascinating examination of the anxiety that underlies our darkest impulses, an enlightening volume perfect for readers of Eric Hoffer or Hannah Arendt.  This ebook features an illustrated biography of Erich Fromm including rare images and never-before-seen documents from the author’s estate.
