 J.R. Irvin, "The Holy Mushroom: Evidence of Mushrooms in Judeo-Christianity" English | 1999 | pages: 145 | ISBN: 0982556209 | PDF | 5,3 mb Black & White edition, second printing. Christianity and the Piltdown Hoax (one of the largest academic scandals in history) share many similarities: In both stories the information was constructed and then salted into the information stream, and, through the word of noted scholars, presented as fact, the truth. Scholars have egos and once committed to their ideas through scholarly publications, faculty meetings, and conferences, have difficulty seeing, hearing, or even appreciating an adverse view. To waver from a strongly held opinion could spell academic ruin and withdrawal of acclaim. This leads to lively debate, counter stories, and even character assassination if one side or the other is being out trumped in the symbolic mêlée. Jan Irvin (The Holy Mushroom) has captured what we might call an "anthropology of clarification" regarding whether or not mushrooms, and mind-altering substances in general, played any role in the development of not only Judaism and Christianity but the total culture in play at that time. It is now recognized in many academic communities (anthropologists, sociologists, psychiatrists, psychologists) that sufficient evidence exists of the importance of these substances, both textual and visual, to say "yes" in very large letters. It is no longer theory. The questions Irvin asks are these: "If mind-altering substances did play this major role, then how would this affect our interpretations of the Bible and the Qur'an? Would this shed light on the origins of mystical experiences and the stories, for example Abraham hearing voices and Ezekiel's convenient visions? What would this suggest about the shamanic behavior of Jesus? What impact would this have on organized religion?" These are bold questions. This is a very useful volume for those interested in the Holy Mushroom and the politics of truth. Detailed and wonderfully illustrated; great bibliography.~ Professor John A. Rush, Sierra College
 Abigail Gehring, "The Healthy Gluten-Free Diet: Nutritious and Delicious Recipes for a Gluten-Free Lifestyle" English | 2014 | pages: 176 | ISBN: 1628737557 | EPUB | 15,9 mb Fortunately for those with celiac disease or gluten-intolerance or sensitivity, gluten-free foods are becoming much more readily available at grocery stores and restaurants across the country. However, many prepackaged options are laden with sugar, unhealthy fats, and grains and starches that are devoid of nutritional value. They may be "safe" for those who can't eat gluten, but they're far from healthy. In The Healthy Gluten-Free Diet, Gehring provides nearly 100 recipes that are safe for those on a gluten-free diet, healthy for anyone, and delicious for the whole family! Recipes include:  John Bodnar, "The "Good War" in American Memory" English | ISBN: 1421405822 | 2012 | 320 pages | EPUB | 3 MB The "Good War" in American Memory dispels the long-held myth that Americans forged an agreement on why they had to fight in World War II. John Bodnar's sociocultural examination of the vast public debate that took place in the United States over the war's meaning reveals that the idea of the "good war" was highly contested.
 Robert Turcan, "The Gods of Ancient Rome: Religion in Everyday Life from Archaic to Imperial Times" English | ISBN: 0415929741 | 2001 | 200 pages | PDF | 3 MB  The George Floyd Uprising by Vortex Group English | January 24th, 2023 | ISBN: 1629639664 | 288 pages | True PDF | 6.26 MB In the summer of 2020, America experienced one of the biggest uprisings in half a century. Waves of enraged citizens took to the streets to streets in Minneapolis to decry the murder of George Floyd at the hands of the police. Battles broke out night after night, with a pandemic weary populace fighting the police and eventually burning down the Third Precinct. The revolt soon spread to cities large and small across the country where protesters set police cars on fire, looted luxury shopping districts and forced the president into hiding in a bunker beneath the White House. As the initial crest receded, localized rebellions continued to erupt throughout the summer and into the fall in Atlanta, Chicago, Kenosha, Louisville, Philadelphia, and elsewhere.

 The Future of Work : How Artificial Intelligence Can Augment Human Capabilities by Yassi Moghaddam, Heather Yurko English | 2020 | ISBN: 1951527186 | 130 Pages | True PDF | 5.72 MB  The First Brain: The Neuroscience of Planarians English | 2014 | ISBN: 0199965048 | 280 Pages | PDF EPUB (True) | 9 MB Planarians, a class of flatworm, are extraordinary: they possess the remarkable ability to regenerate lost body parts, including complete regeneration of the nervous system. If cut into pieces, each piece of the planarian can regenerate into a complete organism. They are also unique among invertebrates in that they display addiction-like behaviors to many drugs abused by humans. Because of these distinct neurological traits, the planarian is often used as an animal model in neurological research, being used most recently for developments in neuropharmacology.  Tim Newark, "The Fighting Irish: The Story of the Extraordinary Irish Soldier" English | ISBN: 1472128214 | 2017 | 304 pages | EPUB | 1337 KB For hundreds of years, Irish soldiers have sought their destiny abroad.

Nathalia Brodskaïa, "The Fauves" English | 2012 | pages: 200 | ISBN: 1683259408, 1646992830 | PDF | 72,5 mb Born at the dawn of the 20th-century, Fauvism burst onto the artistic scene at the 1905 Salon d'Automne with great controversy by throwing bright, vibrant colours in the face of artistic convention. Fuelled by change, artists like Matisse, Derain, and Vlaminck searched for a new chromatic language by using colour out of its habitual context. Freed from the strict technique advocated by the École des Beaux-Arts, they used colour as their main resource, their only standard seen in flat tints, saturating their stunning paintings. The author invites us to experience this vivid artistic evolution that, although encompassing a short amount of time, left its mark on the path to modernity. |
