Download or read book Pandora's Jar written by Natalie Haynes and published by HarperCollins. This book was released on 2022-03-29 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER “Funny, sharp explications of what these sometimes not-very-nice women were up to, and how they sometimes made idiots of . . . but read on!”—Margaret Atwood, author of The Handmaid's Tale The national bestselling author of A Thousand Ships returns with a fascinating, eye-opening take on the remarkable women at the heart of classical stories Greek mythology from Helen of Troy to Pandora and the Amazons to Medea. The tellers of Greek myths—historically men—have routinely sidelined the female characters. When they do take a larger role, women are often portrayed as monstrous, vengeful or just plain evil—like Pandora, the woman of eternal scorn and damnation whose curiosity is tasked with causing all the world’s suffering and wickedness when she opened that forbidden box. But, as Natalie Haynes reveals, in ancient Greek myths there was no box. It was a jar . . . which is far more likely to tip over. In Pandora’s Jar, the broadcaster, writer, stand-up comedian, and passionate classicist turns the tables, putting the women of the Greek myths on an equal footing with the men. With wit, humor, and savvy, Haynes revolutionizes our understanding of epic poems, stories, and plays, resurrecting them from a woman’s perspective and tracing the origins of their mythic female characters. She looks at women such as Jocasta, Oedipus’ mother-turned-lover-and-wife (turned Freudian sticking point), at once the cleverest person in the story and yet often unnoticed. She considers Helen of Troy, whose marriage to Paris “caused” the Trojan war—a somewhat uneven response to her decision to leave her husband for another man. She demonstrates how the vilified Medea was like an ancient Beyonce—getting her revenge on the man who hurt and betrayed her, if by extreme measures. And she turns her eye to Medusa, the original monstered woman, whose stare turned men to stone, but who wasn’t always a monster, and had her hair turned to snakes as punishment for being raped. Pandora’s Jar brings nuance and care to the millennia-old myths and legends and asks the question: Why are we so quick to villainize these women in the first place—and so eager to accept the stories we’ve been told?
Download or read book Pandora's Mirror written by Marella Sands and published by Word Posse. This book was released on 2014-11-05 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pandora Whalley is a haunted woman with a tragic past. For as long as she can remember, she has felt spirits around her, sometimes playful, sometimes spiteful, sometimes angry. But now, the spirits have become menacing and Pandora has become a recluse, trapped inside the house by something she cannot name. Something that is biding its time. Something that is preying on her soul. Nick van der Ryn is a parapsychologist who has stumbled onto the perfect haunted house—the Whalley Mansion. Orbs, ghosts, strange sounds, shadow people, an eerie mirror hung in the mansion's cavernous stairwell—this place has it all. But what fascinates Nick even more than the house is the woman who lives there. The one he can’t stop thinking about. The one who seems like she’s being consumed by the mansion even as he watches. Both Pandora and Nick will have to outwit the forces, both living and dead, that conspire to keep them apart—forces that want to keep Pandora from inheriting her birthright on her twenty-fifth birthday. Together, they must solve the mystery of Pandora's ancient family legacy, and survive, before they can truly understand the terrifying apparitions in Pandora's Mirror.

Download or read book Pandora’s Hope written by Bruno Latour and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 1999-06-30 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A scientist friend asked Bruno Latour point-blank: “Do you believe in reality?” Taken aback by this strange query, Latour offers his meticulous response in Pandora’s Hope. It is a remarkable argument for understanding the reality of science in practical terms. In this book, Latour, identified by Richard Rorty as the new “bête noire of the science worshipers,” gives us his most philosophically informed book since Science in Action. Through case studies of scientists in the Amazon analyzing soil and in Pasteur’s lab studying the fermentation of lactic acid, he shows us the myriad steps by which events in the material world are transformed into items of scientific knowledge. Through many examples in the world of technology, we see how the material and human worlds come together and are reciprocally transformed in this process. Why, Latour asks, did the idea of an independent reality, free of human interaction, emerge in the first place? His answer to this question, harking back to the debates between Might and Right narrated by Plato, points to the real stakes in the so-called science wars: the perplexed submission of ordinary people before the warring forces of claimants to the ultimate truth.
Download or read book Pandora's Gift written by Carolyn Mathews and published by John Hunt Publishing. This book was released on 2015-12-11 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When Jay loses their home and business in the financial crash and Pandora's job as a TV panellist comes under threat, the appearance of an archangel seems to be just the good omen they need. The message he brings, however, forces Pandora to disappear on a secret mission to fulfil a prophecy, endangering both her relationship and a precious gift she's been given. Events bring Pandora to her knees, but the light at the end of the tunnel may yet lead her to a miracle. It wouldn't be a Pandora story without romance, transformation, suspense and a touch of the fantastic. True to form, this final book of the series provides all these elements and more.
Download or read book Pandora's Lab written by Author TBD and published by Disney Electronic Content. This book was released on 2017-04-04 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What happens when ideas presented as science lead us in the wrong direction? History is filled with brilliant ideas that gave rise to disaster, and this book explores the most fascinating—and significant—missteps: from opium's heyday as the pain reliever of choice to recognition of opioids as a major cause of death in the U.S.; from the rise of trans fats as the golden ingredient for tastier, cheaper food to the heart disease epidemic that followed; and from the cries to ban DDT for the sake of the environment to an epidemic-level rise in world malaria. These are today's sins of science—as deplorable as mistaken past ideas about advocating racial purity or using lobotomies as a cure for mental illness. These unwitting errors add up to seven lessons both cautionary and profound, narrated by renowned author and speaker Paul A. Offit. Offit uses these lessons to investigate how we can separate good science from bad, using some of today's most controversial creations—e-cigarettes, GMOs, drug treatments for ADHD—as case studies. For every "Aha!" moment that should have been an "Oh no," this book is an engrossing account of how science has been misused disastrously—and how we can learn to use its power for good.
Download or read book Pandora's Toolbox written by Wake Smith and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2022-03-09 with total page 424 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reaching net zero emissions will not be the end of the climate struggle, but only the end of the beginning. For centuries thereafter, temperatures will remain elevated; climate damages will continue to accrue and sea levels will continue to rise. Even the urgent and utterly essential task of reaching net zero cannot be achieved rapidly by emissions reductions alone. To hasten net zero and minimize climate damages thereafter, we will also need massive carbon removal and storage. We may even need to reduce incoming solar radiation in order to lower unacceptably high temperatures. Such unproven and potentially risky climate interventions raise mind-blowing questions of governance and ethics. Pandora's Toolbox offers readers an accessible and authoritative introduction to both the hopes and hazards of some of humanity's most controversial technologies, which may nevertheless provide the key to saving our world.

Book excerpt: “An imaginative and stunning tale of the perfect future threatened . . . a book of epic proportions not unlike Frank Herbert’s Dune or Isaac Asimov’s Foundation trilogy.”—SFRevu The year is 2380. The Intersolar Commonwealth, a sphere of stars, contains more than six hundred worlds interconnected by a web of transport “tunnels” known as wormholes. At the farthest edge of the Commonwealth, astronomer Dudley Bose observes the impossible: over one thousand light-years away, a star . . . disappears. Since the location is too distant to reach by wormhole, the Second Chance, a faster-than-light starship commanded by Wilson Kime, a five-times-rejuvenated ex-NASA pilot, is dispatched to learn what has occurred and whether it represents a threat. Opposed to the mission are the Guardians of Selfhood, led by Bradley Johansson. Shortly after the journey begins, Kime wonders if the crew of the Second Chance has been infiltrated. But soon enough he will have other worries. Halfway across the galaxy, something truly incredible is waiting: a deadly discovery whose unleashing will threaten to destroy the Commonwealth . . . and humanity itself. “Should be high on everyone’s reading list . . . You won’t be able to put it down.”—Nancy Pearl, NPR “Recommended . . . A large cast of characters, each with his own story, brings depth and variety to this far-future saga.”—Library Journal

Book excerpt: The gods are not beyond making mistakes. Their creation of Pandora and the box lays the foundation for the destruction of Atlantis and possibly the gods themselves. Apollo falls in love with Pandora and disguises himself to win her heart without his position as a god to influence her. His plan goes well until Hades, God of the Underworld, entices Pandora into his temple and tempts her to open the box gifted to her by Zeus. The box holds an untold power that Hades wants to harness for his own selfish purposes. Hades tests Apollo and Pandora's love by manipulating circumstances until neither of them trust or believe in the other. On a clifftop above Atlantis, with a storm raging all around, Pandora must choose between love or power, not realizing her decision could destroy Atlantis and the gods forever. Reincarnated into present day as different people with no memory of their past, Pandora and Apollo relive buried emotions and right the wrongs of long ago. Drawn together into a dangerous situation, their guides, Poseidon and Athena, help them rekindle their love. Learning to trust and believe in each other is the key to opening the box and letting out the hope trapped within
Book Synopsis Opening Pandora's Box by : Ferdie Addis
Download or read book Opening Pandora's Box written by Ferdie Addis and published by Michael O'Mara Books. This book was released on 2011-02-11 with total page 425 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It has been one of those days. You've worked like a Trojan, displaying titanic strength and stoic endurance to overcome the Herculean labours that have faced you in order to meet that deadline. We regularly employ classically-derived expressions in our everyday language, yet many of us have little understanding of the origin of these common phrases. But an incomplete classical education need no longer be your Achilles heel. Opening Pandora's Box offers a light-hearted yet fascinating look at the stories behind the expressions. For example, did you know that the phrase 'the face that launched a thousand ships' originates from the story of the kidnapping of Helen of Troy, but the actual line comes from a poem by Christopher Marlowe? Opening Pandora's Box provides a useful introduction to classical mythology as well as giving an insight into our language.

Book excerpt: New Orleans, 2007. There is another layer beneath the society we see and understand. Vampires and shapeshifters are real and malakh are the offspring of angels who descended to earth over 10,000 years ago. To exist, they've adapted so well that the unknowing human doesn't recognize a malakh. 8,000 years ago, a unique destiny was forged by the Midael angel Israfil Arakelba. He defended humanity and accepted imprisonment as a way to protect mortals. He has lived many lives from behind the walls of the citadel created to keep him asleep. Now, 8,000 years later, his imprisonment is about to end. A familiar evil has set its foot on the world and only one malakh possesses the power with which to beat back the rising tide of darkness. But, how much does this potential anti-hero remember of his real nature? This is a proem: six individuals and the journey they are going to make, remembering the past and preparing to battle the future. Contains homosexual tones and potentially offensive language.
