These three sutras are the most important texts for the Chan (Chinese) and Zen (Japanese) Buddhist traditions, though they are very different in character and provenance. The Diamond Sutra (Vajracheddikā Prajña Pārāmitā Sutra in Sanskrit) has the distinction of being 'the earliest complete survival of a dated (11 May 868) printed book’. It was found in the Dunhuang Caves in China in 1900. The title, Diamond Cutter, outlines its purpose, which is to cut through ignorance to attain to perfect wisdom or ultimate reality.

Thomas Paine's The Age of Reason; Being an Investigation of True and Fabulous Theology, published in three parts from 1794, was a best seller in America, where it caused a short-lived deistic revival. Promoting a creator-God while advocating reason in the place of revelation, Paine’s controversial pamphlet caused his native British audience, fearing the results of the French Revolution, to receive it with more hostility than their American counterparts.

Vices and Volumes is what happens when someone with zero literary qualifications decides to make a podcast about old books—and somehow makes it work. Host Avril Clinton-Forde, broadcasting from Ireland, reads delightfully ridiculous passages from vintage texts (1700s-1920s) and tumbles down historical rabbit holes with the enthusiasm of someone who finds 200-year-old instructions genuinely hilarious.Started because an American tourist with enviable confidence said "You should do a podcast!"—and Avril, armed with the unfounded self-assurance that only comes with aggressive bookshop browsing...

During the bleak winter of 1692 in the rigid Puritan community of Salem Village, Massachusetts, a group of young girls began experiencing violent fits, allegedly tormented by Satan and the witches who worshipped him. From the girls' initial denouncing of an Indian slave, the accusations soon multiplied. In less than two years, 19 men and women were hanged, one was pressed to death, and over a hundred others were imprisoned and impoverished. This evenhanded and now-classic history illuminates the horrifying episode with visceral clarity.

Declaring the church corrupt and urging rationality over revelation, Thomas Paine’s The Age of Reason directly opposed the existing political and religious order of his time. Initially printed in pamphlet form, his work audaciously employed “vulgar” everyday language, as Paine sought to bring his message, and the appeal of deism, to the masses.

Am 8. Juni 1783 brach der isländische Vulkan Laki aus. An diesem Tag öffnete sich eine Spalte mit 130 Kratern, Grundwasser traf auf das aufsteigende Basaltmagma, riesige Explosionen waren die Folge. Jon Steingrimson, Pfarrer aus Sída in Südostisland, war Augenzeuge eines der größten Vulkanausbrüche der Geschichte. Er protokollierte in seinem 1784 erschienenen Text die Ereignisse, als deren Folge etwa ein Fünftel der isländischen Bevölkerung starb. Die meisten Menschen verhungerten, weil die Landwirtschaft brachlag, andere hatten sich mit dem Fleisch von verseuchten Tieren vergiftet. Einzigartig erscheint die Verbindung von wissenschaftlicher Faszination, mitfühlender Beobachtung der gesellschaftlichen Folgen und Steingrimsons Sicherheit, dass alles, was geschieht, höherer Wille sei.
