Tungkol sa ebook na ito

“Thunder and Myth” explores the global phenomenon of thunder, examining its cultural significance across diverse societies. It delves into how ancient cultures, from Norse mythology's Thor to Japan's Raijin, interpreted thunder as divine communication or powerful omens. This interdisciplinary study blends history, earth sciences, and cultural studies to reveal how these myths reflect humanity's quest to understand and assign meaning to natural events. The book uniquely contrasts scientific explanations with mythological interpretations, offering a deeper understanding of varying worldviews, while highlighting the enduring human tendency to seek order in the natural world.

The book is structured in three parts, starting with scientific foundations and common mythological themes. It then provides in-depth analyses of specific cultures and their thunder myths, considering geographical and social contexts. Finally, the book explores interdisciplinary connections, such as the influence of myths on art and the link between lightning-prone areas and potent thunder deities.

Understanding these myths can also inform modern environmental awareness, underscoring the importance of cultural context in responding to natural hazards.
