Description
The Alphabet Versus the Goddess: The Conflict Between Word and ImageThis groundbreaking book proposes that the rise of alphabetic literacy reconfigured the human brain and brought about profound changes in history, religion, and gender relations. Making remarkable connections across brain function, myth, and anthropology, Dr. Shlain shows why pre literate cultures were principally informed by holistic, right brain modes that venerated the Goddess, images, and feminine values. Writing drove cultures toward linear left
This groundbreaking book proposes that the rise of alphabetic literacy reconfigured the human brain and brought about profound changes in history, religion, and gender relations. Making remarkable connections across brain function, myth, and anthropology, Dr. Shlain shows why pre-literate cultures were principally informed by holistic, right-brain modes that venerated the Goddess, images, and feminine values. Writing drove cultures toward linear left-brain thinking and this shift upset the balance between men and women, initiating the decline of the feminine and ushering in patriarchal rule. Examining the cultures of the Israelites, Greeks, Christians, and Muslims, Shlain reinterprets ancient myths and parables in light of his theory. Provocative and inspiring, this book is a paradigm-shattering work that will transform your view of history and the mind.Binding Type: Paperback

Comfortable and bright glow!
Color: Khaki, Color: Khaki
I've had this watch for about a year and never take it off. The glow feature is so bright it will light up a dark room and blind you if you just woke up 😆. But I love it. I trimmed the strap to just fit cause it was a little long.

Okay watch
Color: Black
The SKEMI logo was not there in the picture posted but when the actual watch arrived it was there. I specifically purchased one which was advertised without the logo.
The plastic screen protector installed by default has couple of air bubbles trapped.
It works fine. It's an okay back up watch. I'm looking at different ones.
