![]() ![]() ![]() In my mind, Joseph Campbell would become to mythology what Andrea Bocelli would later be to opera.ĭespite the similar contempt for him that anthropologists and folklorists would express over the years, Campbell clearly succeeded in making mythology go mainstream, and his flagship book, The Hero with a Thousand Faces (1949) made him a beloved household name in America. I eventually came to accept him as a flawed father figure a virtuous storyteller whose main contribution to the field was not in the quality of his thoughts but in their popularization. Having once sparked my passion for mythology, I found that the deeper I dove into its sources, the shallower Campbell’s thoughts appeared to be. You see, after imprinting on him like a baby bird, Campbell naturally became my subject of parental de-idealization.

Things can always be taken out of context or construed differently than they were intended. While social media is an incredible way to connect and build community, moments like this only create extreme division instead of bringing people together. The last few weeks have been very hard for everyone involved and millions of people are seeing so much hate around this, which is extremely harmful.

Even in the 19th century, the work that helped define much of modern physics bore the title Treatise on Natural Philosophy (1867). ![]() Isaac Newton's book Philosophiæ Naturalis Principia Mathematica (1687) (English: Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy) reflects the use of the term natural philosophy in the 17th century.

More than 100 floors deep and connected by only a narrow circular staircase, the silo is designed to limit mobility and communication, separating the mechanical department at the bottom, the mayor and sheriff up top, and the IT department as far away from both of them as possible. But it’s also a carefully designed system with zero population growth, a lack of media, and social stratification created by the architecture of the silo itself. It’s an energy-independent community with 100 percent employment and universal access to education and health care. ![]() In many ways, the silo is a triumph of human survival and sustainability. ![]() The intrigue of Wool (the title comes from the scrubbers used by people sent to clean the sensors on the surface) is enjoyable and thought-provoking, but it’s how Howey borrows from our present that really makes Wool resonate with readers. ![]() ![]() ![]() Select the quantity of the product you desire and click the "Add" button.

Lycanthropy, loose-cannon mages, and Lugh conspire to make a hellish mess out of things – but the real peril begins when Diego loses an important piece of his mind. When Finn falls terribly ill and a monstrous creature attacks Zack one night, things quickly slide into disaster. Strange sightings, spontaneous explosions of magic and odd bends in reality crop up. ![]() Of course, around the fae, a man learns never to say ‘things can’t possibly get any worse.’ Unexplained events have begun to plague the human world.
