The Story of Atlantis - Enriched edition Historical Geographical & Ethnological Study

William Scott-Elliot

Beschreibung

In "The Story of Atlantis," William Scott-Elliot weaves a compelling narrative that seeks to blend myth with scholarly inquiry, offering readers a detailed account of the legendary lost civilization of Atlantis. Scott-Elliot employs a vivid and engaging literary style, skillfully intertwining elements of fiction and philosophy to reimagine Plato's original accounts. Set against the backdrop of the late 19th century, the book echoes the era's fascination with ancient myths and the occult, as well as the burgeoning interest in historical linguistics and archaeology, thus contributing a unique interpretation to the Atlantis narrative while inviting readers to ponder themes of utopia, human folly, and spiritual evolution. William Scott-Elliot, a British author deeply immersed in theosophy and spiritualism, was significantly influenced by the intellectual currents of his time. His keen interest in ancient civilizations and mystical traditions shaped his exploration of Atlantis, positing it as not merely a myth but a potent symbol of lost wisdom and idealism. Scott-Elliot's background in philosophy and mythology informs his careful crafting of a narrative that reveals both the splendor and the tragic decline of this fabled society, offering insights that resonate well beyond the confines of his time. "The Story of Atlantis" is a must-read for anyone captivated by ancient myths, historical mysteries, or the philosophical questions surrounding civilization and its discontents. Scott-Elliot's imaginative retelling invites readers to embark on a wondrous journey through time, challenging them to reflect upon the implications of humanity's quest for perfection amid the inevitable tides of history.

Against the Grain - How Farmers...

Roger Thurow

Farmers in some of the world's oldest agricultural areas were toiling year after year, only to find that modern industrial agriculture was turning on itself. Industrial agriculture's effects on our climate and environment were multiplying and worsening, until the very families growing the world's food were starving. 
 
 
 
They terraced the land to catch more rainwater and prevent soil runoff; they planted a diverse range of vegetables that would balance the nutrients in the soil; they replaced commercial fertilizers with organic matter from their own farms; they planted more trees and drought-resistant grains; and, perhaps most importantly, they taught their communities by example that these regenerative farming methods paid off—both in nourishing their families and in bringing their land back to life. 
 
 
 
Award-winning author and journalist Roger Thurow has traveled to Ethiopia, Uganda, Kenya, India, Guatemala, Peru, and the United States to share their stories, highlighting the conflicts inherent in our most important human endeavor: feeding the world using the methods of industrial agriculture is stripping the land of its ability to feed future generations. But these farmers are starting a new kind of revolution, nourishing both humans and the land, and following their lead could help us solve one of the great crises of our time.

Prehistoric World The - Vanished...

E. A. Allen

Originally published in 1885. 
The Prehistoric World; or, Vanished Races, by E.A. Allen 
We are told that in Tartary, each native makes the iron he needs, just as every household would make its own bread. The furnace is a very small affair, not holding more than three pounds of ore. This is filled with ore and charcoal. The bellows are used, and after the charcoal is all burned out, the result is a small piece of spongy iron, which needs only repeated heating and hammering to be made serviceable. 
Primitive furnaces, on a somewhat larger scale, have been discovered in Switzerland. Here, the excavation was made in the side of a hill, and a rude, dome-shaped chimney built over it. We must not forget that our task ends where the historian's begins. The use of iron did not long precede history, so we have but little to describe as to the customs and manners of life during the prehistoric Iron Age.
