Nature and Ecology in Greek MythologyDid you know that the first known myth addressing ecological consciousness is Greek and was written in 300 BCE?This constitutes proof that the concept of environmental protection has been a concern of humanity since ancient times.The story of The Sacred Grove of Goddess Demeter is more than a story. Full of ancient wisdom it not only instills respect for nature but it also fosters virtuous behavior, because as ancient Greeks believed, only a virtuous person can make oneself happy and the city a happy place. Prince Erysichthon whose name means the one who injures mother earth, wishes to build a big palace by destroying the trees of an old sacred grove dedicated to goddess Demeter. What will the consequences of his arrogance known in the ancient world as "hubris" be, and what challenges is he going to be facing? This picture book full of high quality illustrations presents the Greek myth and offers additional information about the ideas of the book and the ancient classical values, something that is said to be able to lead one to a happier life. At the end children can add their own touch to the book by drawing the main characters and events of the story.>Wisdom and knowledge for a better life!The story of Erysichthon and the sacred grove of goddess Demeter depicts the way in which the damage we impose on the environment eventually brings about an adverse effect on the quality of our own life.
Estudiar la fauna desde una perspectiva nada común es la propuesta de este pequeño tratado de antropología, etnología, folklore y mitología, investigado y recopilado por Homero Adame, a quien se le conoce como el hombre leyenda o el cronista del Altiplano debido a su larga trayectoria en la recopilación de leyendas y por sus trabajos en una zona del Altiplano mexicano que él conceptualiza como una región cultural compuesta por municipios semiáridos de Zacatecas, Tamaulipas, San Luis Potosí, Nuevo León y Coahuila.En este libro, el autor nos da una idea de lo que puede significar que un correcaminos se nos atraviese en una vereda o carretera, la sigilosa presencia de tigrillos o que un zorrillo merodee en el jardín, que el gato se suba en nuestro pecho cuando estamos enfermos. También habla de cómo interpretar el aullido de una coyota, los tecuruqueos de tecolotes, los aullidos lastimeros de perros, los graznidos de cuervos, el cascabeleo de víboras, el temible canto del ahuichote. De igual modo, alude a los pumas protectores o al nagualismo a través de la transfiguración de lechuzas o la simbiosis entre humanos y animales. Así, las criaturas del bestiario aludidas en esta obra son seres arquetípicos, mágicos, totémicos, agoreros; pueden ser benéficos o meléficos, héroes culturales o mensajeros de los dioses. Es fauna que habita en los pueblos y comunidades altiplanenses que no han avanzado a la par con el progreso y la globalización, fauna que en muchos casos convive con los pobladores de manera cotidiana.

Voici un récit intime et instructif qui plonge au coeur de la blessure d'abandon à travers mon propre vécu. En partageant mon parcours, je vous offre un regard profond sur les défis et les triomphes que j'ai rencontrés en surmontant cette blessure. Ce livre se veut un compagnon précieux, un guide à garder à portée de main, prêt à être consulté chaque fois que le besoin de compréhension et de guérison se fait sentir. L'exploration débute par une plongée profonde dans la blessure d'abandon, détaillant les signes et les symptômes à travers mes expériences personnelles. Je raconte ouvertement comment j'ai longtemps ignoré la possibilité d'être affectée par cette blessure, jusqu'à ce qu'une amie proche, Isabelle, m'éclaire sur son existence. Cette révélation a été le point de départ de ma quête de conscience et de rétablissement. Dans les chapitres suivants, j'insiste sur l'importance de reconnaître les schémas de comportement associés à la blessure d'abandon, de comprendre son impact sur la vie personnelle et relationnelle, et d'explorer les racines psychologiques profondes, souvent enracinées dans l'enfance et les expériences antérieures. Le livre met également en lumière l'influence des médias et des stéréotypes culturels dans la formation de cette blessure. La deuxième partie du livre se concentre sur des stratégies pratiques pour surmonter la blessure d'abandon. Elle offre des chapitres détaillés sur des approches thérapeutiques, comme la thérapie individuelle, la thérapie de groupe, et le développement personnel. Vous y trouverez également des techniques spécifiques telles que la gestion des émotions, la construction de l'estime de soi, l'établissement de limites saines, et la création de relations équilibrées et saines. Enfin, le dernier chapitre propose un questionnaire d'auto-évaluation pour vous aider à explorer votre propre relation avec la blessure d'abandon. Cet outil précieux favorise l'auto-réflexion et le suivi personnel, et peut être utilisé à différentes étapes de votre parcours, car vos réponses peuvent évoluer avec le temps. Ce livre n'est pas simplement un témoignage de ma propre guérison, c'est aussi un guide pratique. Je vous encourage à le lire attentivement, à souligner les passages qui résonnent en vous, et à y revenir lorsque vous en ressentez le besoin. Il existe pour vous aider à comprendre votre propre blessure, à reconnaître vos schémas de comportement, et à vous ouvrir la voie vers une vie plus autonome et épanouissante.
