Book Synopsis :

The last book Joseph Campbell completed before his death, this wide-ranging collection grew from a series of lectures he delivered in San Francisco, which included a legendary symposium with astronaut Rusty Schweickart. Here he explores the Space Age and posits that the newly discovered laws of outer space are actually within us as well, and that a new mythology is implicit in that realization. Campbell explores this possibility in the concluding essay, "The Way of Art," where he demonstrates that metaphor is the language of art and argues that within the psyches of today's artists are the seeds of tomorrow's mythologies. Also included are Campbell's thoughts on mythology as a function of biology in "Myth and the Body" and his series of essays, "Metaphor as Myth and as Religion," where he presented for the first time a fundamental summary of his pioneering work in mythology and comparative religion.

How has the psychology of investing changed--and not changed--over the last five hundred years? In Devil Take the Hindmost, Edward Chancellor traces the origins of the speculative spirit back to ancient Rome and chronicles its revival in the modern world: from the tulip scandal of 1630s Holland, to "stockjobbing" in London's Exchange Alley, to the infamous South Sea Bubble of 1720, which prompted Sir Isaac Newton to comment, "I can calculate the motion of heavenly bodies, but not the madness of people."Here are brokers underwriting risks that included highway robbery and the "assur...
