Creation Stories: Landscapes and the Human Imagination
An accessible exploration of how diverse cultures have explained humanity's origins through narratives about the natural environment
Drawing from a vast array of creation myths-Babylonian, Greek, Aztec, Maya, Inca, Chinese, Hindu, Navajo, Polynesian, African, Norse, Inuit, and more-this concise illustrated book uncovers both the similarities and differences in our attempts to explain the universe.
Anthony Aveni, an award-winning author and professor of astronomy and anthropology, examines the ways various cultures around the world have attempted to explain our origins, and what roles the natural environment plays in shaping these narratives. The book also celebrates the audacity of the human imagination.
Whether the first humans emerged from a cave, as in the Inca myths, or from bamboo stems, as the Bantu people of Africa believed, or whether the universe is simply the result of Vishnu's cyclical inhales and exhales, each of these fascinating stories reflects a deeper understanding of the culture it arose from as well as its place in the larger human narrative.

Bűbájármány 1: The Raven Spell - A hollóvarázs
Egy boszorkány és egy nyomozó együtt ered egy sorozatgyilkos nyomába a viktoriánus Angliában.
Miután egy támadásban csaknem végzetes fejsérülést szenved, Ian Cameron magánnyomozóra eszméletlenül bukkannak rá London iszapos folyópartján. A zsebében többek között egy mestervarázsló véráztatta névjegykártyáját és egy mágikus zsebórát találnak.
Az elveszett emlékeit kutatva, Ian a ködös múltú Edwina és Mary Blackwood boszorkánynővérektől követel választ.
De ahogy a titkaikra lassan fény derül, hátborzongató rejtély tör felszínre London árnyékban megbúvó, sötét utcáinak mélyén.
Ian olyan kalandra vállalkozik Edwinával, ami a folyóparttól az East End egyik zenés mulatójáig, onnan pedig egy boszorkányoknak fenntartott menedékházba vezet. A napvilágra kerülő nyomok összekapcsolnak egy kegyetlen gyilkosságsorozatot, egy eltűnt személyt és egy vérfagyasztógyanút, ami eltépheti a testvérek közti köteléket.
Közeledik a nyomozás vége - vajon Ian és Edwina lesz a következő áldozat?
Páratlanul egyedi, varázslatos történelmi krimi.

The River of Death: A Tale of London In Peril
Another in the "Doom of London" series, in which the author sounds a clarion call of potential disasters that may fall upon the great city. Here he relates a tale of environmental contamination leading to a medical panic.London in a year of severe drought; water level in the Thames river extremely low, blazing heat wave for 3 weeks in August; a Portuguese cargo ship sinks and contaminates a tributary of the Thames; 3 of the crew members are discovered to be dying of some disease; the local doctor is frightened by what he sees, calls the health authorities, who call for help from Professor Darbyshire, a scientist who deals with "fighting diseases in the bulk", someone we might call an environmental epidemiologist today; he investigates, then ... Darbyshire makes a hurried call asking his friend, Dr. Longdale, to come at once to his house where he has a small laboratory."Darbyshire produced a phial of cloudy fluid, some of which he proceeded to lay on the glass of a powerful microscope. Longdale fairly staggered back from the eyepiece. "Bubonic! The water reeks with the bacillus! I haven't seen it so strongly marked since we were in New Orleans together. Darbyshire, you don't mean to say that this sample came from—"Yes, the sample was water from the contaminated Thames, the river from which roughly 4/5 of the water comes to supply the needs of the 5 million Londoners. Longdale says the water system must be shut off."And deprive four-fifths of London with water altogether!" Darbyshire said grimly. "And London grilling like a furnace? No flushing of sewers, no watering of roads, not even a drop to drink. In two days London would be a reeking, seething hell — try and picture it, Longdale.""I have, often," Longdale said gloomily. "Sooner or later it had to come. Now is your chance, Darbyshire — that process of sterilisation of yours."Will he save London? Of course — he's the hero of the story. But how? Does London panic? How do the authorities respond?
