Society's foundational stories, key to uniting us, are under attack because they are judged as unhistorical biblical myths. What if that judgment is wrong? In that case, debunking these attacks would be important. Which is why this book is important!The history of the universe from the beginning to the creation of man on earth is a real history, just slightly different than as described in the bible. The cognitive revolution is a real event, just slightly different than as described in the bible. The Garden of Eden is a real place and can be pointed to on a map today. But what about the heroes?The key to identifying biblical heroes in secular sources is to synchronize the chronologies. By answering a simple question with a simple answer, this narrative is based on an alternative chronology that unmasks identities of many heroes...and they are REAL! Noah's flood was a real event and can be linked to the most catastrophic volcanic eruption of the Bronze Age. Abram was a real person, and a mayor of Jerusalem wrote and complained about him to an Egyptian Pharoah. Joseph was a real person, and his story has been known for centuries in Egypt but misidentified due to poor chronology. Moses is in the Egyptian records once you look in the right time period! And the histories of these hero's matter. They matter because the record of their history in the Bible records the maturation of an explanation for the fundamental question everyone wants to know the answer to: why? Experience the thrill of quickly and easily learning the Bible and discovering how accurate it really is while staying true to the latest modern science. The majority of the Old Testament is thoroughly explored in less than 250 pages, and they are explored as they occurred, within the larger history of man! History, alternative history, biblical history, Ancient Near East geography, military analysis, mathematics, metallurgy, the Bronze Age Collapse, archeology, linguistics, even climate change, all these topics make their appearance in these pages to help explain what the latest scholarship believes to be true about the Bible.Although this book is clearly written by a modern scientist and mathematician, it is truly hoped that it is seen for what is intended to be: a modern-day apologetic. To serve that role, it was written in a way that is hopefully easy to read and not filled with dense notes. It hopefully includes enough information to get the curious started on their own investigations. And it is hopefully clear that the author respects and is in awe of the biblical authors.

Dedicated long-distance hikers and day-trippers alike will value and enjoy this armchair guide. [This resource is] abundantly illustrated with over fifty color photographs and maps for each of the MST's nineteen segments, [it] narrates significant histories related to each MST segment, places prominent natural features of the trail in context, [and] introduces hikers to nearby attractions, cultural heritage sites, and trail towns"--

"... Timoléon était fils de Timodème et de Démariste, personnes de noble famille dans Corinthe. Amant passionné de sa patrie, il était d'une douceur singulière, sauf une haine violente contre la tyrannie et contre les méchants ; il était si heureusement né pour la guerre, et ses facultés se compensaient si bien, qu'il s'y distingua, dans sa jeunesse, par une prudence consommée, et que, dans sa vieillesse, il n'avait rien perdu de sa vigueur d'exécution. Il avait un frère aîné, Timophane, qui ne lui ressemblait en rien : c'était un écervelé, et qu'avait corrompu une folle ambition de se faire maître unique, que lui inspiraient des amis pervers, et les soldats étrangers dont il était sans cesse environné. Il avait montré dans les batailles une certaine audace, une intrépidité aventureuse : aussi donna-t-il à ses concitoyens une grande opinion de son courage et de son activité, et obtint-il plus d'une fois des commandements militaires. Il était secondé par Timoléon, qui couvrait ses fautes ou du moins en atténuait aux yeux la gravité, et qui relevait, qui faisait valoir les bonnes qualités qu'il avait reçues de la nature..."

"... Pélopidas, fils d'Hippoclus, était d'une famille noble de Thèbes, comme Épaminondas. Élevé dans une grande opulence, héritier dès sa jeunesse d'une fortune brillante, il se livra au soulagement de ceux qui étaient dans le besoin, et qui méritaient ses bienfaits : il voulait montrer qu'il était le maître et non l'esclave de ses richesses. Parmi les hommes, dit Aristote, les uns ne font point usage de leurs trésors par avarice, les autres en abusent en menant une conduite désordonnée ; et ils sont toute leur vie esclaves, les uns de leurs plaisirs, les autres des affaires. Les amis de Pélopidas usèrent avec reconnaissance de sa bonté et de sa libéralité, à l'exception du seul Épaminondas, qu'il ne put décider à accepter une part de sa richesse. Lui-même, cependant, il s'associa à la pauvreté d'Épaminondas, par la simplicité de ses vêtements, la frugalité de sa table, son activité dans le travail, son scrupule à ne chercher les succès qu'à visage découvert. Il ressemblait au Capanée d'Euripide, qui était fort riche, mais auquel sa richesse n'inspirait point de fierté. Il eût rougi de donner au soin de son corps plus que ne faisait le plus pauvre des Thébains. Épaminondas, familiarisé avec la pauvreté, qui était pour lui héréditaire, se la rendit encore plus facile et plus légère par la philosophie, et parce que, dès sa jeunesse, il résolut de vivre dans le célibat. Pélopidas, au contraire, avait fait un brillant mariage ; il avait des enfants ; mais il n'en devint ni moins insouciant d'augmenter sa fortune, ni moins dévoué à tous les instants au service de sa patrie. Il avait perdu de son opulence, et ses amis l'en blâmaient, disant qu'il avait tort de ne point s'occuper d'une chose nécessaire, la possession de ses biens : Nécessaire, oui certes ! mais pour Nicodème que voici, répondit-il en leur montrant un homme aveugle et boiteux..."

" ... Quand les acclamations de la foule et le bruit eurent cessé, Cominius, s'adressant aux soldats : Compagnons, dit-il, vous ne pouvez forcer Marcius à recevoir des présents qu'il ne veut pas accepter. Mais donnons-lui une récompense qu'il ne puisse refuser ; et décernons-lui le nom de Coriolan, si toutefois l'exploit même ne le lui a point déjà donné avant nous. Depuis ce jour, Coriolan fut le troisième nom de Marcius. Ce fait met en lumière l'usage des Romains. Ils avaient d'abord un nom propre, ainsi Caïus ; le deuxième nom, Marcius par exemple, était le nom de la maison ou de la famille ; le troisième s'ajoutait plus tard aux deux autres : on le tirait ou d'une action particulière, ou d'un événement, ou du caractère, ou de la figure, ou de quelque vertu..."

" ... Paul Émile, nommé consul, alla faire la guerre aux Liguriens, situés au pied des Alpes, et que certains auteurs nomment Ligustins : c'était une nation fière et belliqueuse, exercée par les longues guerres que lui avait attirées le voisinage des Romains. Ils occupent, en effet, cette extrémité de l'Italie que bornent les Alpes, et cette partie des Alpes mêmes que baigne la mer Tyrrhénienne, en face de la côte d'Afrique. Ils sont mêlés avec les Gaulois et avec les Ibères maritimes. En ce temps-là, ils écumaient cette mer, montés sur des vaisseaux corsaires, pillaient et ruinaient les marchands, et poussaient leurs courses jusqu'aux colonnes d'Hercule. Quand Paul Émile entra dans leur pays, ils étaient quarante mille hommes en armes : lui, qui n'avait en tout que huit mille hommes, attaque un ennemi cinq fois plus nombreux, le met en fuite, et le renferme dans ses murailles. Il offrit aux Liguriens des conditions pleines de douceur et d'humanité ; car les Romains ne voulaient pas complètement détruire une nation qui était comme une barrière et un boulevard contre les mouvements des Gaulois, qui ne cessaient de menacer l'Italie. Les Liguriens, se confiant à Paul Émile, lui remirent à discrétion leurs vaisseaux et leurs villes. Il leur rendit les villes, sans y avoir fait autre mal sinon qu'il en démolit les murailles ; mais il leur enleva tous les vaisseaux, et ne leur laissa pas une barque qui eût plus de trois bancs de rames. Il mit en liberté un grand nombre de prisonniers, qu'ils avaient faits sur terre et sur mer, tant Romains qu'étrangers..."

This is the first in a series of cookbooks that will be published to honor my mother and extraordinary Italian cook, Giovanna Morelli Falbo. It contains my mother's favorite recipes, those she brought with her from her home in Italy, and that nourished our family and friends as we grew up in Abington Pennsylvania. The next edition, "Giovanna's Legacy: An Italian/American Kitchen," will feature recipes I've developed, using principles I learned from her through the years as we prepared meals together.The book is a collection of over 180 recipes preserving the Italian heritage of a remarkable woman, my Mom. Born and raised in Calabria, Italy, these homemade meals embrace the essence of a woman who loved feeding others and watching their delight. The collection includes recipes from traditional Italian holiday meals to everyday celebrations and dining. You will find recipes such as Antipasto, baked ziti and lasagna, pasta with fennel, olives, tomatoes and pine nuts, rice patties, baccala salad, chicken and veal piccata, roasted pork with fennel, pepper and potato frittata (omelet), stuffed eggplant, Easter Pie, Italian Wedding soup, pizelles, cherry pudding cheese cake, biscotti, tiramisu, marinara sauce, plus more.

When the twelve-year-old daughter of a British carpenter pulled some strange-looking bones from the country's southern shoreline in 1811, few people dared to question that the Bible told the accurate history of the world. But Mary Anning had in fact discovered the "first" ichthyosaur, and over the next seventy-five years-as the science of paleontology developed, as Charles Darwin posited radical new theories of evolutionary biology, and as scholars began to identify the internal inconsistencies of the Scriptures-everything changed. Beginning with the archbishop who dated the creation of the world to 6 p.m. on October 22, 4004 BC, and told through the lives of the nineteenth-century men and women who found and argued about these seemingly impossible, history-rewriting fossils, Impossible Monsters reveals the central role of dinosaurs and their discovery in toppling traditional religious authority, and in changing perceptions about the Bible, history, and mankind's place in the world.

Despite repeated warnings from the White House, Russia's invasion of Ukraine in February 2022 shocked the world. Why did Putin start the war-and why has it unfolded in previously unimaginable ways? Ukrainians have resisted a superior military; the West has united, while Russia grows increasingly isolated.Serhii Plokhy, a leading historian of Ukraine and the Cold War, offers a definitive account of this conflict, its origins, course, and the already apparent and possible future consequences. Though the current war began eight years before the all-out assault-on February 27, 2014, when Russian armed forces seized the building of the Crimean parliament-the roots of this conflict can be traced back even earlier, to post-Soviet tensions and imperial collapse in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Providing a broad historical context and an examination of Ukraine and Russia's ideas and cultures, as well as domestic and international politics, Plokhy reveals that while this new Cold War was not inevitable, it was predictable.Ukraine, Plokhy argues, has remained central to Russia's idea of itself even as Ukrainians have followed a radically different path. In a new international environment defined by the proliferation of nuclear weapons, the disintegration of the post-Cold War international order, and a resurgence of populist nationalism, Ukraine is now more than ever the most volatile fault line between authoritarianism and democratic Europe.

Western philosophers have long claimed that God, if such a being exists, is a personal force capable of reason and that the path to a good human life is also the path to a happy one. But what if these claims prove false or at least deeply misleading? The Aztecs of central Mexico had a rich philosophical tradition, recorded in Latin script by Spanish clergymen and passed down for centuries in the native Nahuatl language-one of the earliest transcripts being the Huehuetlatolli, or Discourses of the Elders, compiled by Friar Andrés de Olmos circa 1535.Novel in its form, the Discourses consists of short conversations between elders and young people on how to achieve a meaningful and morally sound life. The Aztecs had a metaphysical tradition but no concept of "being". They considered the mind an embodied force, present not just in the brain but throughout the body. Their core values relied on collective responsibility and group wisdom, not individual thought and action, orienting life around one's actions in this realm rather than an afterlife, distinctly opposed to the Christian beliefs that permeate Europe and America.Sebastian Purcell's fluency in his grandmother's native Nahuatl brings to light the Aztec ethical landscape in brilliant clarity. Never before translated into English in its entirety, and one of the earliest post-contact texts ever recorded, Discourses of the Elders reflects the wisdom communicated by oral tradition and proves that philosophy can be active, communal and grounded not in a "pursuit of happiness" but rather the pursuit of a meaningful life.

No animal is so entangled in human history as the horse. The thread starts in prehistory, with a small, shy animal, hunted for food. Over time, the domestication of horses, followed by the advent of riding, powered mighty empires: Persian, Mongol, Mughal. For more than two millennia, from Iran and Afghanistan to China, India and, later, Russia, the deep and ancient bond between humans and their horses connected a vast continent, forged trade routes, linked cultures and fueled war machines.Scholar of Asian history David Chaffetz tells the story of the Eurasian Steppe raiders, rulers and traders who amassed power and wealth on horseback from the Bronze Age through the twentieth century. Drawing on a wealth of primary sources-in Persian, Turkish, Russian and Chinese-Chaffetz presents a ground-breaking new view of what has been known as the "Silk Road", and a lively history of the great horse empires that shaped civilisation.

In 2018, lumps of frozen soil, collected from the bottom of the world's first deep ice core and lost for decades, reappeared in Denmark. When geologist Paul Bierman and his team first melted a piece of this unique material, they were shocked to find perfectly preserved leaves, twigs and moss. That observation led them to a startling discovery: Greenland's ice sheet had melted naturally before, about 400,000 years ago. The remote island's ice was far more fragile than scientists had realised-unstable even without human interference.In When the Ice Is Gone, Bierman traces the story of this extraordinary finding, revealing how it radically changes our understanding of the Earth and its climate. A longtime researcher in Greenland, he begins with a brief history of the island, both human and geological, explaining how over the last century scientists have learned to read the historical record in ice, deciphering when volcanoes exploded and humans started driving cars fuelled by leaded gasoline.For the origins of ice coring, Bierman brings us to Camp Century, a US military base built inside Greenland's ice sheet, where engineers first drilled through mile-thick ice and into the frozen soil beneath. Decades later, a few feet of that long-frozen earth would reveal its secrets-ancient warmth and melted ice.Changes in Greenland reverberate around the world, with ice melting high in the arctic affecting people everywhere. Bierman explores how losing Greenland's ice will catalyse devastating events if we don't change course and address climate change now.
