A God Within: René Dubos
$30.00Dr. Dubos believes that if we continue to make choices for our future only in relation to negative issues such as pollution or overpopulation, our civilisation will become dreary and meaningless. Instead, we could learn to cultivate the positive values that exist in Man's nature and in the external world. These positive values cannot be introduced from the outside. All ancient civilisations have believed that every person or group of people,k every place or region is endowed with attributes and potentialities which confer a 'genius' or 'spirit' that give each its uniqueness. The 'god within' accounts for the unique creative expressions of every person, place and period. Human personalities, landscapes and civilisations are created through the interplay between man's nature and external nature. Modern science will not really be meaningful to the creative life of the individual until it learns to relate his innate genius to the spirit of the place in which he lives. First published in 1972, Dubos foresaw the day we would have to live with the harmful by-products of technology and offered an optimistic philosophy which yet may rescue the world. -

Love has always been all around us, and many and varied are the rituals and superstitions that surround it. How to meet our true love; how to tell if our lover is true; will we be lucky in love? Many of the symbols and signs of love have their roots planted in the mythologies of Ancient Rome and Ancient Greece, when every flower was the emblem of a god or goddess. With the spread of Christianity, flowers and trees were assigned to the saints but Christianity did not dispel the superstition and ritual of love, falling in love and loving. Did you know that if a girl wears a sprig of ivy next to her heart, she will marry the first young man she speaks to? Or if a bride finds a little spider in the folds of her wedding gown as she is dressing, she will never be poor? There are even ways and means of causing an apparition of a future lover to appear. Beautifully illustrated. -

From this making of the world, to Ragnarok - the last Great Battle - Green tells the story in one continuous narrative taken from the myths of the Northmen. From the ice and snow of the past comes the tale of how, in the beginning, there was only the Yawning Void, called Ginnungagap: but deep in the Void lay the Well of Life. Over the ages ice formed over the Well, and out of it came Ymir, the father of the Frost Giants. Ymir was fed on the milk of a magic cow who licked the ice, and with it salt from the Well of Life to form Buri, the first of the Ǣsir. Buri had a son, Borr, whowas the father of Odin. Odin and his brothers overcame the ice and the Ymir, thrusting them down into the Yawning Void. They set the sea in a ring about the world, and planted the World Tree, the Ash Yggdrasill, to hold it in place. These stories are taken directly from the Norse eddas and include tales of Loki the mischief maker, Freya, Geirrodur the Troll King and much more. Illustrated by Brian Wildsmith. -
