  Pornography - Men Possessing Women

  Andrea Dworkin

  Andrea Dworkin’s 1981 critique of pornography is an important and urgent document about how the culture consumes and manipulates images of women. Essential and discomfiting reading in a social media era, where women’s bodies are being commodified and displayed more than ever. 
   
  Andrea Dworkin’s seminal 1981 work on the issue of pornography argues that the industry serves only to harm and oppress women. Her discussion of pornography as an outgrowth of the power that men exert over women—the power of owning, the power of money, and the power of sex, among others—still blazes with its clarity and immediacy, and illustrates how these inequities, while displayed in raw form in pornography, are endemic in all media. 
   
  With a lively and deeply compelling voice, Andrea Dworkin succinctly outlines her anti-pornography stance. Though the media environment may have changed, this passionately and powerfully argued classic remains a relevant and crucial contribution to the area of feminist studies. 
   
  This audiobook is expertly read by Erin deWard, with audio engineering by Mike Thal. It was produced and published by Echo Point Books & Media, LLC, an independent bookseller in Brattleboro, Vermont.

  "Beyond the Equation: Philosophy Meets the Universe" explores the profound intersection of human thought and the vast cosmos. This concept delves into how philosophical inquiry complements scientific discovery, pushing the boundaries of understanding existence, reality, and our place in the universe. By combining the rigor of mathematical equations with abstract reasoning and symbolic thought, it paints a picture of humanity's quest to unravel the mysteries of the cosmos. 
  The theme reflects the synergy between logic and wonder, showcasing how the universe is not just a collection of physical laws but also a canvas for contemplation, imagination, and meaning. It invites viewers to ponder deep questions: Are we mere observers, or integral parts of this cosmic equation? How do our philosophies shape the way we interpret the universe's grandeur? 
  With imagery of glowing symbols, swirling galaxies, and the serene presence of a philosopher amidst the stars, "Beyond the Equation" encapsulates the timeless pursuit of knowledge, bridging the finite and infinite, the known and the mysterious. It is a call to embrace curiosity and view the universe as an endless dialogue between science and philosophy.

  An unhappy childhood often affects who we become in adulthood and our capacity to enjoy whatever successes we achieve. In Healing of a Psychotherapist: A Journey of Rebellion, Reflection, and Redemption, Charles McCormack, MA, MSW, LCSW-C, uses his own life in illustration. With searing honesty, McCormack lays bare his personal and professional ordeals, along with the lessons he’s drawn and continues to draw. Though his story is unique, his struggles are not; thus, McCormack’s narrative works its way into the heart of each of us. His take home, the one given to him by his mother on her deathbed, is clear. Staring into his eyes, she was emphatic: “Charlie. Have a good life. Have a good life.,” refusing to break her hold upon him until he finally committed, “I will, mom, I will, “ all the while thinking, “how the hell do I do that?” McCormack hopes that sharing his story through this book brings his readers insight and healing. 
  Mr. McCormack holds master's degrees in Psychology and Social Work. Since 1974, he has worked in in-patient psychiatric units, family violence, sexual abuse treatment, and SUDs treatment programs, and private practice. In 1988, he was named the Senior Social Worker of Adult Long-term Inpatient Services at Sheppard Pratt. His writings include “Treatment of the Borderline/Schizoid Couple,” "Treating Borderline States in Marriage," and "Essence" (memoir), awarded the Montaigne Medal for being the most thought-provoking of books. He was a long-term faculty member of the Washington School Psychiatry and Clinician of the Year (Maryland Society of Clinical Social Work). Long before social work embraced trauma-informed approaches, McCormack wrote about and trained social workers in ways of conceptualizing and humanizing work with individuals and couples impacted by major psychopathology. In 2023, McCormack was the recipient of the University of Maryland School of Social Work's Emeritus Award for contributions to the profession.
