![]() ![]() And out of the Sophists' reflections on human beings and their place in the world arose and interest in language, and in political, moral, and social philosophy. Through, for instance, Heraclitus' enigmatic sayings, the poetry of Parmenides and Empedocles, and Zeno's paradoxes, the Western world was introduced to metaphysics, rationalist theology, ethics, and logic, by thinkers who often seem to be mystics or shamans as much as philosophers or scientists in the modern mould. But their enterprise was by no means limited to this proto-scientific task. Aristotle said that philosophy begins with wonder, and the first Western philosophers developed theories of the world which express simultaneously their sense of wonder and their intuition that the world should be comprehensible. ![]() The first philosophers paved the way for the work of Plato and Aristotle - and hence for the whole of Western thought. ![]() ![]() ![]() Included in Introduction to Magic are instructions for creating an etheric double, speaking words of power, using fragrances, interacting with entities, and creating a "magical chain."

![]() ![]() One thing that stood out to me here - and in the series in general - is how the Animorphs as friends solve conflict (between themselves) with healthy communication, and how they open up to each other as the series progresses. #22 especially was so rough, poor Rachel, poor everyone but Rachel's crisis hit me so hard emotionally, she's my favourite so far and seeing her go through this turmoil I just wanted to reach through the pages and hug her, honestly. This is definitely a highlight of the series so far - quite the emotional roller coaster, I don't even know where to start. ![]() ![]() Before he can join the Royal Air Force, he is obligated to help Bertie Shepherd and his granddaughter, Susan, with their role in a top-secret pigeon mission. Long before the United States enters the fight, Oliver “Ollie” Evans from Maine smuggles himself into Britain with dreams of a different kind of flying. British intelligence hoped that the pigeons, dropped by the thousands into Nazi-occupied France, would be found by resistance fighters and used to return messages containing vital reconnaissance. In The Long Flight Home, Alan Hlad tells a dramatic, fictionalized story about the real use of pigeons during World War II. The small, unassuming body of a pigeon carrying coded messages behind enemy lines, avoiding capture, detection or death by falcon, can end up wreaking as much havoc as a bomb.
