Publisher: University of Chicago Press
ISBN: 022642197X
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 371
Book Description
Mammoths and dinosaurs, tropical forests in northern Europe and North America, worldwide ice ages, continents colliding and splitting apart, comets and asteroids crashing catastrophically onto the Earth these are just some of the surprising features of the eventful history of our planet, stretched out over several billion years. But how was it all discovered, how was the evidence for the Earth s long history collected and interpreted, and what sorts of people put together this reconstruction of a deep past that no human beings could ever have witnessed? In "Earth s Deep History," Martin J. S. Rudwick tells the gripping story of the gradual realization that the Earth s history has not only been unimaginably long but also astonishingly eventful in utterly unexpected ways. Rudwick, the world s premier historian of the Earth sciences, is the first to make the story of the discovery of the Earth s deep history attractively accessible to readers without prior knowledge of either the history or the science, and in so doing he reveals why it matters to us today.

The Bringer of Life
Author: Hayley A. Ramsey
Publisher: SCB Distributors
ISBN: 1948803615
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 427
Book Description
Who and what is the divine feminine? What does She represent, and where can She be found? Hayley Ramsey starts at the beginning of time itself and explains the origins of goddess veneration and follows Her history chronologically through the rise and fall of civilizations around the world. How did the worship of the goddess affect society? What caused the shift from matriarchal society to a patriarchal society? What was the relationship between religions such as Christianity and the suppression of the goddess? Ramsey will examine the connections between Mary Magdalene, Jesus, and the Holy Grail while considering the importance of astrological precession. Many believe that She disappeared, but perhaps Her veneration went underground. Ramsey proposes the goddess and Her followers never disappeared, but instead She became shrouded in allegory and symbolism by different secret societies that still exist today. Is there a connection between the medieval Knights Templar, the divine feminine, and modern Freemasonry? Her secrets and symbols have been used to reveal Her presence to those who know where to look for many millennia, but just what exactly are these symbols and where does one find Her today?
