A majestic story David Bodanis, Financial Times From the international bestselling author of Physics of the Impossible and Physics of the FutureThis is the story of a quest: to find a Theory of Everything. Einstein dedicated his life to seeking this elusive Holy Grail, a single, revolutionary god equation which would tie all the forces in the universe together, yet never found it. Some of the greatest minds in physics took up the search, from Stephen Hawking to Brian Greene. None have yet succeeded. In The God Equation, renowned theoretical physicist Michio Kaku takes the reader on a mind-bending ride through the twists and turns of this epic journey: a mystery that has fascinated him for most of his life. He guides us through the key debates in modern physics, from Newton s law of gravity via relativity and quantum mechanics to the latest developments in string theory. It is a tale of dazzling breakthroughs and crushing dead ends, illuminated by Kaku s clarity, storytelling flair and infectious enthusiasm. The object of the quest is now within sight: we are closer than ever to achieving the most ambitious undertaking in the history of science. If successful, the Theory of Everything could simultaneously unlock the deepest mysteries of space and time, and fulfil that most ancient and basic of human desires - to understand the meaning of our lives.

Already thoroughly familiar to the seasoned science fiction fan, hyperspace is that realm which enables a spaceship captain to take his ship on a physics-defying shortcut (or wormhole ) to the outer shores of the Galaxy in less time than it takes a 747 to fly from New York to Tokyo. But might such notions be more than science fiction? Some physicists suggest a 10-dimensional hyperspace may actually exist, albeit at a scale almost too small to comprehend, smaller even than a quark; and that in spite of its tiny size, it may be the basis on which all the forces of nature will be united. Michio Kaku s classic book describes the development of ideas about multidimensional space. In recent years, some theoretical physicists -the author among them - have argued that the Universe exists not merely in the four spacetime dimensions (3 of space + one of time) with which Einstein made us familiar, but rather as a ten-dimensional hyperspace. Once the domain of the science fiction writer or the occultist, hyperspace may, according to superstring theorists, be the way to unify the fundamental forces of nature - Einstein s unfulfilled dream of a theory of everything. Michio Kaku takes the reader on a ride through hyperspace to the edge of physics. On the way he gives crystal clear explanations of such formidable mathematical concepts as non-Euclidean geometry, Kaluza-Klein Theory, and Supergravity, the everyday tools of the string theorist. Utilizing fascinating and often hilarious anecdotes from history, art, and science fiction, Kaku shows us that writers and artists - in addition to scientists - have been fascinated by multidimensional space for over a century. Finally, Kaku proposes that the ability to master hyperspace may be our only salvation from destruction at the end of spacetime. Oxford Landmark Science books are must-read classics of modern science writing which have crystallized big ideas, and shaped the way we think.

Snad nejpevněji zakořeněnou představou o světě kolem nás je, že má tři rozměry. Vědecké revoluce však jdou vždy proti zdravému rozumu, říká Michio Kaku a připomíná, že většina lidí - a většina vědců - kdysi pokládala za naprostý nesmysl i teorii relativity a kvantovou fyziku. Zatím není v lidských silách existenci vyšších dimenzí empiricky prokázat, dá se však zkoumat, co by z jejich existence vyplývalo. Teorie hyperprostoru se podle autora může stát teorií všeho , po níž dlouhá léta neúspěšně pátral Einstein a která by sjednotila všechny známé přírodní zákony. Hyperprostor nás seznamuje s historií čtvrtého rozměru, přibližuje strunovou teorii, předkládá nejnovější vědecké poznatky a klade si i otázky o možnostech života v paralelních vesmírech. Kaku je proslulý vědec, poutavý vypravěč a vynikající popularizátor schopný jasně vyložit i ty nejobtížnější fyzikální modely.

A book that sees Hollywood as an idea, a trick, a religion even that swept the world, a book that knows what the bosses did, and why and how, but which also feels the impact on the mass audiences in the dark auditoriums. There isn t a book that explains - even at a basic level - how the business, the money, of pictures operates. THE WHOLE EQUATION takes the history and describes the grand panorama so that the reader knows how he or she fitted in, along with Bogart, the Marx Brothers and Daryl Zanuck. The business is the neglected aspect of the story, neglected because its truths threaten the alleged magic, the romance of the movies. Yet, the money is the true sexual secret of Hollywood, and David Thomson leaves the reader quite clear, that amid all the hype and pretension, we should always follow the money .

Audiokniha: „Život je příliš křehký, než aby byl uložen na jediné planetě. Musíme vypracovat záložní plán.“ Michio Kaku je vědec s verneovskou představivostí, jíž nečiní potíže rozletět se kosmickými sférami rychlostí světla. Věhlasný mistr myšlenkových experimentů navýsost přístupně uvažuje, jak a kdy by lidstvo – nyní na stupni energetického rozvoje 0, 7 podle Kardašova – mohlo uspět ve snaze nedržet se při Zemi a nespokojit se s krůčkem k Měsíci. Předpokládá to ovšem přizpůsobit k obrazu svému Mars, probádat slibné měsíce velkých planet, zřídit si přestupní stanice u hranic Sluneční soustavy a poté zamířit k nejbližším exoplanetám, na které už s nadějemi hledí stovky teleskopů. Kakuovy vize poodhalování tajů vesmíru, kde zajisté nejsme sami, stavějí na pokroku robotiky i nanotechnologií, počítají s fúzními raketami i se zásadním zdokonalením lidské inteligence, jež se od pravěku skvěle přizpůsobovala proměnlivým podmínkám. Máme důvod. Naši hvězdnou štaci u žlutého trpaslíka typu G2V dříve či později čeká katastrofa, takže se vydejme budoucnosti vstříc. Štěstí přeje připraveným!

Audiokniha: Má vesmír plán? Anebo s námi hraje a bude hrát kostky? Nalezení teorie všeho – tedy zformulování jednotné teorie pole, která by skloubila čtyři základní přírodní síly – představuje pro fyziku svatý grál a pro zbytek lidstva divotvorný pokrok. Michio Kaku shrnuje peripetie i výhledy pátrání po nejskrytějším tajemství vesmíru, přičemž neopomíjí ani vklad Newtonův a Einsteinův, ani neobratné modely kvantové teorie či vlastní vizi superstrun, to vše s humorem pro zdar poznání. Možná už brzy ovládneme metody, jak zákonitosti mikro- i makrosvěta shrnout do jediné rovnice, pokud možno symetrické a prozrazující, jestli se do vesmíru propsal velký plán jeho strůjce, anebo zda vážně nepřihlížíme jen obří hře v kostky. Na této kosmologické výpravě se sice fyzika opírá pouze o nepřímé indicie a myšlenkové experimenty, ale právě to je na jejím úsilí prolomit kód božské. Navíc v přívětivém podání popularizátora, jenž stejně jako jeho předchůdci Sagan a Feynman ví to nejpodstatnější: veškeré teorie jsou pro kočku, nesvedeme-li je vyložit servírce v restauraci. „V šachové partii s vesmírem už dva tisíce let dumáme, jak táhnout pěšcem, a tohle je nepoctivější záznam naší strategie.“ – The Guardian. „Možná nakonec opravdu existuje milující Bůh – anebo možná existují tisíce mrtvých planet v příliš malé nebo velké vzdálenosti od své hvězdy, ale my se nacházíme na planetě, jejíž poloha je přesně správná pro existenci inteligentního života, a proto můžeme o této otázce debatovat. Lze sestavit celý seznam těchto náhod, které umožňují život, a pokaždé se nacházíme přesně uprostřed obyvatelné zóny. Vesmír je tedy jedna obrovská loterie a my jsme vyhráli jackpot.“ – ukázka z knihy

Příběh fyziky je komplikovaný a dobrodružný. Po staletí se fyzikové noří stále hloub do tajemství přírody, vyvíjejí nové přístroje, které pomáhají některá tajemství rozluštit a jindy zas vedou k objevení nových záhad. Ve dvacátém století se tento příběh nesmírně zrychlil. Vědci pronikli do hlubin vesmíru i k subatomárním stavebním prvkům hmoty. Definovali, jaké síly vládnou mikrokosmu i makrokosmu, a ukázali, jak se jedna odvozuje z druhé. Pak ale narazili na záhadu, která až dosud všem pokusům o objasnění vzdoruje: jak sjednotit gravitační sílu s jadernými interakcemi a elektromagnetismem? Fyzikové už dlouho rozpracovávají tzv. teorii strun, která by snad mohla být cestou k definitivnímu sjednocení. Vznik, vývoj, půvab i úskalí této teorie srozumitelně vysvětluje Michio Kaku, známý fyzik a popularizátor vědy, ve spolupráci s novinářkou Jennifer Thompsonovou.

Doba mikročipů se blíží ke konci. Jak se tranzistory zmenšují bezmála do velikosti atomu, fenomenální růst výpočetního výkonu se nevyhnutelně zhroutí. Tato změna však předznamenává zrod nového revolučního typu kvantového počítače. Ty slibují bezprecedentní nárůst výpočetního výkonu a umožňují pokrok, který by mohl převrátit všechny aspekty našeho každodenního života. Zatímco média se dosud soustředila především na jejich ohromující potenciál k prolomení všech známých metod šifrování, mimo jejich zájem probíhá závod o využití neuvěřitelné síly kvantových nástrojů, která povede k revoluci v průmyslu. Výrobci automobilů, lékařští výzkumníci a poradenské firmy sázejí na kvantové počítače, aby mohli navrhovat efektivnější vozidla, vyrábět nové léky zachraňující životy nebo zefektivnit podnikání. To je však teprve začátek. Kvantové výpočty bychom mohli využít k dekódování složitých chemických procesů potřebných k výrobě levných hnojiv a k rozpoutání druhé zelené revoluce . K vytvoření super baterie, která umožní vznik slunečního věku, nebo k návrhu reaktorů jaderné fúze pro výrobu čisté, bezpečné a obnovitelné energie. Může dokonce odhalit ďábelsky obtížné skládání proteinů, které je základem dosud nevyléčitelných nemocí, jako je Alzheimerova choroba nebo Parkinsonova choroba. Neexistuje jediný problém, se kterým by se lidstvo potýkalo a který by nebylo možné řešit pomocí kvantových počítačů. Michio Kaku, který celý svůj profesní život strávil prací na kvantové teorii, vypráví se svou typickou zřetelností a nadšením vzrušující příběh o překročení této vědecké hranice a o závodu, ve kterém se nehraje o nic menšího než o budoucnost lidstva.

Audiokniha: Přejme kvantové fyzice. Slabý je jen ten, kdo v sebe ztratil víru, a malý ten, kdo zná jen malý cíl. Kvantové počítače, jejichž slibný vývoj pošle už brzy mikročipy i s Mooreovým zákonem na penzi mezi technologické dinosaury, mají šanci zásadně proměnit krajinu naší každodennosti. Jakkoli i ony jsou založeny na více než stoletém bádání význačných světových vědců v oboru teoretické fyziky, nabídnou lidstvu revoluční, řádově až exponenciální vzlet do nepředstavitelných sfér. Jejich qubity, operující v intervalu mezi oběma póly binární soustavy, už totiž nenarážejí na kapacitní omezení klasických počítačů. Vše nasvědčuje tomu, že dešifrovací a simulační schopnosti těchto výpočetních strojů postaví do pozoru všechny kryptology, bankéře i šéfy tajných služeb, nicméně pouze do doby, než sami ochrání citlivá data právě pomocí supervýkonného kvantového počítače. A mezitím tento vynález přispěje k pokroku nejen na poli medicíny, genetiky či v mnoha dalších aplikacích přírodních věd, ale také při řešení dopravních zácp, v rozvoji umělé inteligence, ba i v ostře sledovaném oboru energetiky, k němuž planeta čelící klimatické krizi horečně upíná naděje. Další fascinující suma úvah a myšlenkových experimentů technologického optimisty Michio Kakua, jehož prorocká odvaha i průzračné popularizace tolik připomínají vizionářství Richarda Feynmana, se podle očekávání stala americkým bestsellerem. Nejen v komunitě nerdů a geeků, ale mezi všemi, kdo se právem ptají, jaký bude svět kolem roku 2050 v ordinaci praktického lékaře, pod kapotou auta či na ranní toaletě. Světoznámý kvantový vědec se nebojí účelně snít, a to se vší barvitostí. Nehraje se tu přece o nic menšího než o budoucnost lidstva, o rapidní zvýšení jeho střední délky života, a kdoví – snad i o rozluštění prapodstaty vesmíru… „Autorův průzračný výklad i proslulá kuráž jeho myšlenkových pochodů štědrou měrou dokládají, jak zásadního průlomu budeme už v dohlednu svědky.“ – The New York Times Book Review. „Povznášející výprava za nejnovějším výdobytkem lidské zvídavosti: kvantovým počítačem, jenž naše vědění i každodenní život přenese do zcela netušených sfér. Kaku zároveň reviduje řadu zažitých mylných představ, které tento obor fyziky v laickém náhledu sto let provázejí.“ – Science. „Astronom Frank Drake v padesátých letech 20. století vymyslel rovnici, která měla odhadnout, kolik vyspělých civilizaci by v galaxii mohlo existovat. Vyjdete od počtu 100 miliard hvězd v galaxii a postupně toto číslo snižujete na základě různých rozumných předpokladů. Například ho vynásobíte podílem hvězd, které mají planety, podílem planet, které mají atmosféru a oceány, podílem planet, na nichž je mikrobiální život, a tak dále. Bez ohledu na to, kolik přesně předpokladů učiníte, je konečné číslo obvykle v řadu tisíců. A přesto projekt SETI zatím neobjevil žádné známky inteligentních rádiových signálů z vesmíru. Stojíme tedy před Fermiho paradoxem: Jestliže je pravděpodobnost inteligentního života ve vesmíru tak vysoká, kde se všichni ti mimozemšťané schovávají? Kvantové počítače by nám mohly pomoci tuto otázku zodpovědět, protože se umějí skvěle prokousávat ohromným množstvím dat a hledat skryté stopy…“ – ukázka z textu. „Nemáte strach z toho, na co by kvantový počítač mohl přijít?“ „A vzpomínáte si, co se stalo na konci Stopařova průvodce po galaxii? Dlouho se tam vzrušeně a napjatě čeká, až obři superpočítač konečně spočítá smysl vesmíru. Ukáže se však, že odpověď zní čtyřicet dva. To je fikce. Ale myslím si, že dnes bychom mohli i k řešení tohoto problému použit kvantové počítače.“ – ukázka z textu.

Energy as a foundation of good health—how we can get it and keep itWhether we are elite athletes, office workers, or students struggling with assignments, we all need energy and can only optimise our performance with optimal energy levels. And if our energy demand exceeds our energy supply we eventually have to stop. In her NHS and then independent medical practice, Dr Myhill has increasingly specialised in helping patients with pathologically low levels of energy. Through this she has learned of the centrality of having sufficient energy to live well and stay healthy, and of balancing energy generation with energy use. In this, her simplest and most readable account of the fundamentals of good health, supported by editor and former patient Craig Robinson, Dr Myhill provides all we need to ensure the energy equation is resolving in our favour.

Richard Dawkins so stands out through the cutting intelligence of e God Delusionâ ™ James D. Watson, Nobel Laureate and co-discoverer of DNA----------The God Delusion caused a sensation when it was published in 2006. Within weeks it became the most hotly debated topic, with Dawkins himself branded as either saint or sinner for presenting his hard-hitting, impassioned rebuttal of religion of all types.His argument could hardly be more topical. While Europe is becoming increasingly secularized, the rise of religious fundamentalism, whether in the Middle East or Middle America, is dramatically and dangerously dividing opinion around the world. In America, and elsewhere, a vigorous dispute between intelligent design and Darwinism is seriously undermining and restricting the teaching of science. In many countries religious dogma from medieval times still serves to abuse basic human rights such as women s and gay rights. And all from a belief in a God whose existence lacks evidence of any kind.Dawkins attacks God in all his forms. He eviscerates the major arguments for religion and demonstrates the supreme improbability of a supreme being. He shows how religion fuels war, foments bigotry and abuses children.The God Delusion is a brilliantly argued, fascinating polemic: required reading for anyone interested in this most emotional and important subject.

How should we think about God? For Christianity, God is not merely the transcendent source and creator of the world; God is also immanently involved in creation, sustaining, upholding, and intervening in the cosmos in order to save and redeem beloved creatures. God is for us.The inaugural Scottish Dogmatics Conference explores this dimension of the character and nature of God in dialogue with Scripture and the Christian tradition and in pursuit of constructive theology for today.Contributors include:John BehrBruce McCormackAmy PeelerFred SandersJudith Wolfe

Continuing the saga begun in I, Claudius, Robert Graves s Claudius the God is a compelling fictional autobiography of the Roman emperor, published with an introduction by Barry Unsworth in Penguin Modern Classics. Claudius has survived the murderous intrigues of his predecessors to become, reluctantly, Emperor of Rome. Here he recounts his surprisingly successful reign: how he cultivates the loyalty of the army and the common people to repair the damage caused by Caligula; his relations with the Jewish King Herod Agrippa; and his invasion of Britain.But the growing paranoia of absolute power and the infidelity of his promiscuous young wife Messalina mean that his good fortune will not last forever. In this second part of Robert Graves s fictionalized autobiography, Claudius - wry, rueful, always inquisitive - brings to life some of the most scandalous and violent times in history. If you enjoyed Claudius the God, you might like Marguerite Yourcenar s Memoirs of Hadrian, also available in Penguin Modern Classics. I, Claudius and Claudius the God are an imaginative and hugely readable account of the early decades of the Roman Empire ... racy, inventive, often comic Daily Telegraph One of the really remarkable books of our day, a novel of learning and imagination, fortunately conceived and brilliantly executed The New York Times Graves made Roman history funny and familiar Guardian

Many writers in the early twentieth century particularly were fascinated by Pan as a figure of unbridled vivacity and pagan ecstasy, but also associated the god and folk hero with a sense of danger and even horror.The pipe music shrilled suddenly around her, seeming to come from the bushes at her very feet, and at the same moment the great beast slewed round and bore directly down upon her.In 1894, Arthur MachenÂ’s landmark novella The Great God Pan was published, sparking a resurgence of literary fascination with the figure of the pagan goat god.Tales from a broad spectrum of writers from E M Forster to prolific pulpsters such as Greye Le Spina took the godÂ’s rebellious and chaotic influence as their subject, spinning beguiling tales of society turned upside down and the forces of nature compelling protagonists to ecstatic heights or bizarre dooms.Selecting an eclectic cross-section of tales and short poems from this boom of Pan-centric literature, many first published in the influential Weird Tales magazine, this new collection examines the roots of a cultural phenomenon and showcases PanÂ’s potential to introduce themes of queer awakening and celebrations of the transgressive into the thrillingly weird stories in which he was invoked.

Traversing decades and continents – from Iran to India, Sri Lanka to the Czech Republic, Adelaide to the Torres Strait — The God of No Good is a beautifully lyrical and funny intergenerational memoir about six women and how their lives intertwine. Filled with wit and wisdom, it is a story that only Sita Walker could tell, but it will resonate with readers everywhere. It’s Wild Swans meets Nora Ephron.This is not a book about divorce. It’s not a book about God, either. You might think it is a book about goodness and what it means to be a good person, but it isn’t. Like everything else, this is about love. Sita Walker was raised by five strong matriarchs who taught her to believe in God and to be good. Her grandmother, mother and three aunts believed in their unshakeable Bahá’í faith, in the power of prayer, in sacrifice, in magic, in the healing of turmeric and tea, and the wisdom of dreams. But as hard as she tries to be good, Sita always suspects that deep down, she isn’t very good at all. At thirty-five, she hasn’t prayed in years, her dream of true love has died, and along with it, her faith – not that she’s telling her mother, or her aunts. Now, the only way she can fulfill her destiny is to seek out the wisdom of the ones who came before, and truly understand the women who raised her. But will they understand her? Either way, the matriarchy will never be the same again.

Awe-inspiring. Prepare to fall in love with epic fantasy all over again. ANNA SMITH SPARK, author of The Court of Broken KnivesThe thrilling opening chapter in an epic new fantasy from the author of The Malazan Book of the Fallen...Many years have passed since three Teblor warriors brought carnage and chaos to Silver Lake. Now the tribes of the north no longer venture into the southlands. The town has recovered and yet the legacy remains. Indeed, one of the three, Karsa Orlong, is now revered as a god, albeit an indifferent one. In truth, many new religions have emerged and been embraced across the Malazan world. There are those who worship Coltaine, the Black-Winged Lord, and the cult of Iskar Jarak, Guardian of the Dead, is popular among the Empire s soldiery.Responding to reports of a growing unease among the tribes beyond the border, a legion of Malazan marines marches towards Silver Lake. They aren t quite sure what they re going to be facing, but, while the Malazan military has evolved and these are not the marines of old, one thing hasn t changed: they ll handle whatever comes at them. Or die trying.And in those high mountains, a new warleader has risen amongst the Teblor. Scarred by the deeds of Karsa Orlong, he intends to confront his god even if he has to cut a bloody swathe through the Malazan Empire to do so. But further north, a new threat has emerged and now it seems it is the Teblor who are running out of time. Another long-feared migration is about to begin and this time it won t just be three warriors. No, this time tens of thousands are poised to pour into the lands to the south. And in their way, a single company of Malazan marines . . . It seems the past is about to revisit Silver Lake, and that is never a good thing . . .

Světoznámý astrofyzik nás tentokrát zve na pátrání po dokonalé rovnici, která by pomohla odhalit nejhlubší tajemství našeho světa a celého vesmíru. Všechny zázraky moderní techniky v podstatě vděčí za svůj vznik vědcům, kteří postupně objevovali základní síly světa. Nyní vědci možná mají na dosah prostředky, jak tyto čtyři přírodní síly - gravitaci, elektromagnetickou sílu a slabou a silnou jadernou sílu - skloubit v jedinou teorii. Ta by mohla konečně vrhnout světlo na největší záhady vědy: Co se stalo před velkým třeskem? A proč k němu vůbec došlo? Co se nachází na druhé straně černé díry? Je možné cestovat časem? Existují červí díry vedoucí do jiných vesmírů? Proč jsme tady? Kaku líčí hledání této finální teorie a všechny prazvláštní peripetie jedné z nejpodivnějších kapitol v dějinách fyziky. Prochází všechny dřívější revoluce, jež nám daly naše technologické divy: newtonovskou revoluci, ovládnutí elektromagnetické síly, teorii relativity, kvantovou teorii a nakonec i dnešní teorii strun. A vysvětluje, proč se kolem této Božské rovnice vedou ostré spory: v sázce není nic menšího než naše představa o vesmíru. Autor má dar poutavě a srozumitelně vyložit i složitá vědecká témata, proto se jeho práce řadí mezi nejoceňovanější odborné a populárně-naučné knihy současnosti.

Kaku ve své knize ukazuje, jak lze optiky a elektromagnetismu využít k simulaci neviditelnosti; jak zdokonalení magnetické rezonance možná pomůže číst lidské myšlenky; jak využití supravodičů, nanotechnologií a elektrického pole třeba člověku umožní vyslat za hranice zemské atmosféry ne raketu, ale výtah, jak o tom psal A.

The runaway success of the microchip processor may be nearing its end, with profound implications for our economy, society and way of life, even leaving Silicon Valley as a new Rust Belt, its technology obsolete. Step forward the quantum computer, which harnesses the power and complexity of the atomic realm, and may be useful in solving humanity s greatest challenges from climate change, to global starvation, to incurable diseases. Humanity s next great technological achievement already promises to be every bit as revolutionary as the transistor and microchip once were.Its unprecedented gains in computing power and unique ability to simulate the physical universe herald advances that could change every aspect of our lives. Corporations and whole nations are betting on quantum computing, hoping to exploit its power to design more efficient vehicles, create life-saving new drugs and streamline industries to revolutionize the economy. But this is only the beginning.Quantum computers could allow us to finally create nuclear fusion reactors that produce clean, renewable energy without radioactive waste or threats of meltdown. They could help us crack the biological processes that generate natural, cheap fertilizer and enable us to feed the world s growing populations. And they could unravel the fiendishly difficult protein folding that lies at the heart of previously incurable diseases such as Alzheimer s, motor neurone disease and Parkinson s, helping us to live longer, healthier lives.Told with Kaku s signature clarity and enthusiasm, Quantum Supremacy is the story of this exciting frontier and the race to claim humanity s future.

Is God a delusion? Barrister Charles Taylor examines the evidence in this very readable book. His findings will be controversial to some but offer hope and insight to others.We are the only species unable to live in harmony with our environment and each other. The asteroid that killed the dinosaurs is nothing compared with our impact on the Earth. We are currently responsible for The Sixth Great Extinction of wildlife. Religious terrorism is widespread, though current atrocities are dwarfed by the bloody record of Christianity. The Middle East is destabilised and to East and West we have Presidents Putin and Trump. So called rational thinking and the dominance of our left brains have brought us to the brink of disaster. We need a spiritual revolution allowing individuals to reconnect with their right brain, intuition and spirit. Religions have had their day. They contain key truths, but these truths are usually obscured by manmade rules constructed to gain wealth and power. At the other extreme, materialism denies God, the spirit, free will, consciousness and love. Happily, the facts contradict this dispiriting left brained faith that we are deluded robots stumbling through life.

Nice to meet you.⠝The God of the Word is a witty and wry retelling of the Kojiki (⠘Record of Ancient Matters⠙), completed in 712 CE, which is considered the oldest extant Japanese text. It is a myth-history documenting (read: legitimising) the divine lineage of the emperors of the Yamato court, including the Wakatakeru no Mikoto of our text (supposedly the real historical figure the rest of the 14 confabulations were arranged to legitimise). This lively and hilarious translation is guaranteed to make you smile, while also gesturing towards the serious and relevant consideration of who gets to tell the tall tales on which we build our own narratives.
