Download or read book Athena written by Ann Hinkle and published by Createspace Independent Pub. This book was released on 2012-07-01 with total page 174 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I am all that is, that will be, and that has been. No mortal has ever known the depth of my heart. Long before the Parthenon rose above Athens, enduring symbols were set in stone in commemoration of divine wisdom. Athena: Birth of Wisdom, Ann Hinkle's lyrical exploration of an imagined coming of age for the legendary goddess of wisdom and courage, illuminates an inspirational story of compassion and healing. Bound and savagely beaten by her brother, Vulture Claw, the girl called Child of Serpents is cast into a cell deep within the earth in the aftermath of a palace coup. There, with the aid of her guiding spirit, the great serpent Coiled Light, she embarks upon a revelatory path of transformation and self-discovery. As the pages of this absorbing psychological novel travel through the Child's memories, confronting the pain, rejection, and physical violence of her early childhood, the world above is plunged into disaster with the onset of drought and famine. When another serpent, the cobra Shifting Sand, arrives bearing offerings from a temple altar, the Child's story becomes one of action and labor, as she uses simple tools furnished by her devotees to break the stone seal and dark magic that have imprisoned her. Emerging from beyond the gates of death, the thrice-born heroine can at last face her murderous brother and restore wisdom and prosperity to her land. At the heart of this remarkable and powerful story lie the mythic touchstones that sustain and encourage the countless future generations who will come to know her as Athena. Athena: Birth of Wisdom is a timeless tale of the journey within, exploring the process of reflection and consideration that ultimately cultivates compassion for ourselves and for those who have violated our trust. It is a truly heroic quest in which the key is the resolution of internal conflicts, and through that transformative experience comes the liberation to move forward with life and create a place of true wisdom, strength, and courage. Discover this thrilling interpretation of mythic archetypes and classical storytelling as Athena: Birth of Wisdom shares its message of self-awakening, awareness, and engaged presence.

Download or read book The Cheating Cell written by Athena Aktipis and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2020-03-24 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A fundamental and groundbreaking reassessment of how we view and manage cancer When we think of the forces driving cancer, we don’t necessarily think of evolution. But evolution and cancer are closely linked because the historical processes that created life also created cancer. The Cheating Cell delves into this extraordinary relationship, and shows that by understanding cancer’s evolutionary origins, researchers can come up with more effective, revolutionary treatments. Athena Aktipis goes back billions of years to explore when unicellular forms became multicellular organisms. Within these bodies of cooperating cells, cheating ones arose, overusing resources and replicating out of control, giving rise to cancer. Aktipis illustrates how evolution has paved the way for cancer’s ubiquity, and why it will exist as long as multicellular life does. Even so, she argues, this doesn’t mean we should give up on treating cancer—in fact, evolutionary approaches offer new and promising options for the disease’s prevention and treatments that aim at long-term management rather than simple eradication. Looking across species—from sponges and cacti to dogs and elephants—we are discovering new mechanisms of tumor suppression and the many ways that multicellular life-forms have evolved to keep cancer under control. By accepting that cancer is a part of our biological past, present, and future—and that we cannot win a war against evolution—treatments can become smarter, more strategic, and more humane. Unifying the latest research from biology, ecology, medicine, and social science, The Cheating Cell challenges us to rethink cancer’s fundamental nature and our relationship to it.

And when the Asgard team finds themselves on thin ice, it’s up to Skade to overcome a big fear, save her friend—and show everyone what she’s made of!
