A Primer for Forgetting: Getting Past the Past"One of our true superstars of nonfiction" (David Foster Wallace), Lewis Hyde offers a playful and inspiring defense of forgetfulness by exploring the healing effect it can have on the human psyche. We live in a culture that prizes memory how much we can store, the quality of what's preserved, how we might better document and retain the moments of our life while fighting off the nightmare of losing all that we have experienced. But what if
"One of our true superstars of nonfiction" (David Foster Wallace), Lewis Hyde offers a playful and inspiring defense of forgetfulness by exploring the healing effect it can have on the human psyche.
We live in a culture that prizes memory--how much we can store, the quality of what's preserved, how we might better document and retain the moments of our life while fighting off the nightmare of losing all that we have experienced. But what if forgetfulness were seen not as something to fear--be it in the form of illness or simple absentmindedness--but rather as a blessing, a balm, a path to peace and rebirth? A Primer for Forgetting is a remarkable experiment in scholarship, autobiography, and social criticism by the author of the classics The Gift and Trickster Makes This World. It forges a new vision of forgetfulness by assembling fragments of art and writing from the ancient world to the modern, weighing the potential boons forgetfulness might offer the present moment as a creative and political force. It also turns inward, using the author's own life and memory as a canvas upon which to extol the virtues of a concept too long taken as an evil. Drawing material from Hesiod to Jorge Luis Borges to Elizabeth Bishop to Archbishop Desmond Tutu, from myths and legends to very real and recent traumas both personal and historical, A Primer for Forgetting is a unique and remarkable synthesis that only Lewis Hyde could have produced.Binding Type: Paperback

Impressive Quality and Results
Size: 16 Ounce (Pack of 1)
I’ve been using Nature's Way Organic MCT Oil (16 Fl Oz) for several months, and it has truly exceeded my expectations. The oil is sourced from organic coconuts and contains both C8 Caprylic Acid and C10 Capric Acid, which are known for their benefits in supporting energy and mental clarity. I love that it is both Keto and Paleo certified, making it a perfect addition to my diet.
The neutral taste and smooth texture make it easy to add to coffee, smoothies, or salad dressings without altering the flavor. It blends well and never leaves an oily residue. Whether I’m starting my morning with a bulletproof coffee or adding a boost to my shakes, Nature’s Way MCT Oil fits seamlessly into my routine.
The fact that this MCT oil is USDA Organic and Non-GMO Project Verified gives me peace of mind about its purity and quality. I feel confident that I’m fueling my body with a clean product free from unwanted additives or chemicals.
Since incorporating this oil, I’ve noticed an increase in my sustained energy levels and improved focus throughout the day. It helps me feel full longer, which is great for intermittent fasting and maintaining my Keto lifestyle. I also appreciate that it supports both brain and body health as advertised.
I highly recommend Nature's Way Organic MCT Oil to anyone looking for a high-quality MCT supplement. It’s great for athletes, those on Keto or Paleo diets, or anyone seeking a clean, effective source of energy. The packaging is sturdy, the pour spout is convenient, and the value for the price is excellent. I’ll definitely be repurchasing.

I am a fan of the late Dr. Heiser. He was a consummate scholar who was not afraid to challenge the status quo or tradition in cases where he felt Scripture was being mishandled or interpreted out of context. This book, the second of a two volume commentary series on the book of Enoch, was written to provide a readable commentary text to help the average person to understand this fascinating second temple period composition. I believe he succeeded admirably in navigating and explaining this work drawing heavily on the best scholarly interpretive sources.
