    This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.   
    In her deeply personal memoir, Beneath the Radar, Naomi Jessop takes readers on an intimate journey through the labyrinth of her life—a path marked by judgment, influence, and the often painful process of carving out an identity distinct from the narratives imposed upon her. 
    Exploring struggles with depression, anxiety, and PTSD, this memoir sheds light on the dark corners of the mind and the quiet strength it takes to keep going. It also dives into the complexities of LGBTQ+ identity and self-acceptance in a world that often resists both. 
    At its heart, Beneath the Radar is a story about family—about longing for connection, navigating fractured relationships, and finding love and understanding amidst chaos. 
    With unflinching honesty and emotional depth, Naomi reveals what it truly means to grow, heal, and find yourself in a world eager to define you. 
    Beneath the Radar is more than a memoir—it’s a mirror for anyone who’s ever felt misunderstood, mislabelled, or misplaced. It’s an invitation to see the human story beneath the surface—and a testament to the strength it takes to rise, to speak, and to be seen.

    Anubis - Ancient Egypt’s Lord of...

    Anubis is among the most recognizable gods of ancient Egypt. Is Anubis a relic of the past, or is he actively venerated now? Author Charlie Larson, a longtime priest and devotee of Anubis, answers these questions and more. Portrayed as either a black jackal or as a jackal-headed man, Anubis is Egypt's original Lord of the Dead. Anubis's domain extends beyond death, however; he is also a guardian of children and travelers and a finder of lost things. He is as modern as he is ancient—appearing in comic books, video games, and in Neil Gaiman's book American Gods and its television adaptation. 
     
     
      
    Anubis was among the most significant gods of ancient Egypt. In modern times, Anubis has emerged as a sacred patron of mediums and occultists. It's widely believed that his image is among the two canines found on the tarot Moon card. 
     
     
      
    Long overshadowed, at least in books, by Egyptian goddesses such as Isis and Sekhmet, Larson's book focuses the spotlight squarely on the jackal-headed god. His book features history and mythology but is also a practical guide to working with Anubis now. It features devotional practices and modern worship that includes rituals, prayers/invocations, correspondences, altars, and epithets. The book leads the listener on a journey of exploration into all things Anubis, exploring his various facets.

    The Baby Boomers are the largest and most powerful generation in American history—and they aren't going away any time soon. They dominate cultural and political institutions and make up the largest slice of the electorate. Generational conflict, with Millennials and Generation Z pitted against the aging Boomer cohort, has become a media staple. The generation gap is widening into a political fault line. 
     
     
     
    Kevin Munger marshals novel data and survey evidence to argue that generational conflict will define the politics of the next decade. He examines the historical trends that made the Baby Boomers so consequential and traces the emergence of age-based political and cultural divisions. Boomers continue to prefer the media culture of their youth, but Millennials and Gen Z are using the internet to render legacy institutions irrelevant. These divergent media habits have led more people than ever to identify with their generation. Munger shows that a common "cohort consciousness" binds aging Boomer voters into a bloc—but a shared identity and purpose among Millennials and Gen Z could topple Boomer power. 
     
     
     
    Bringing together expertise in data analysis and digital culture with keen insight into contemporary politics, Generation Gap explains why the Baby Boomers remain so dominant and how quickly that might change.

    Provincial Perspectives offers a fresh look at the Roman Empire—not from the towering marble forums of Rome itself, but from the towns, markets, homes, and lives of those who lived across its vast and diverse provinces. This 3-in-1 volume explores how everyday people, local cultures, and distant regions shaped the Roman world far beyond its capital. 
    The Roman Empire’s Provinces uncovers the administrative, cultural, and military roles of regions from Gaul to Egypt, Britannia to Asia Minor, showing how these far-flung lands maintained both Roman identity and local uniqueness. The Economy of Rome dives into the networks of trade, labor, agriculture, and taxation that kept the empire running—revealing the economic machinery that powered the Roman engine. Finally, Women in Ancient Rome brings forward the voices and lives of Roman women—rulers, merchants, mothers, and slaves—who navigated a world of patriarchy with surprising influence and resilience. 
    Rich with insight, this collection breaks from traditional empire-focused narratives and gives readers a deeper understanding of Roman life from the ground up. Whether you're passionate about ancient history, women's studies, economics, or global empires, this trilogy offers a unique and enlightening lens into Rome’s wider world.
