Sinossi

The Centaur is a story of a man who is uncomfortable in the modern world and seeks to find the relief from this feeling. He takes vacation to get back in touch with Nature, and heads for Caucasus, the land, which he believes is not yet polluted with the imprint of progress. On his way, he encounters several individuals who argue both for and against the reality of his discomfort and the meaning behind it. Thus, the whole story turns into an opposition and, at the same time, friendship between two sorts of man: the skeptic and the dreamer. The conflict reaches its climax as climax as the travellers see a herd of the mythical creatures, centaurs. This encounter arouses the feeling of supernatural horror. The characters feel the outside force dominating them. Yet, each handles this situation differently. Some get obsessed, while others come away with a feeling of discovered truth. A deeply philosophical novel about our inner drive to discover the mysteries of the world, that remains topical for all times.

    From Near-Death to New Life 
    Barbara (Pamplin) Ohuninifa’s debut memoir, From Fat, Black, and Unlovable to Beautiful Powerful Love, shares her extraordinary journey of survival and healing. In 2017, Barbara faced an aortic dissection—a cardiac event with a 99% fatality rate—along with three open-heart surgeries and three resuscitations. This crisis was not random but the result of unresolved generational pain, betrayal, and systemic trauma. 
    Determined to heal, Barbara embraced intentional practices to reclaim her health and identity. Her story reveals how she untangled herself from toxic beliefs rooted in misogynoir, systemic oppression, and the inherited traumas of slavery. Reflecting on her South Side Chicago upbringing, her years as a young single mother in Atlanta, and the truths she uncovered, she inspires readers with her transformation. Her memoir affirms the power of healing and joy, no matter the odds. 
    What You’ll Discover 
    Barbara’s memoir offers readers more than a story—it’s a guide to healing. Alongside her reflections, she shares practical tools, including: 
    Reconnecting with Self: Techniques to align with your authentic self through nature, Ancestral guidance, and inner stillness. 
    Reflection and Growth: Journaling prompts and meditations to deepen self-awareness and release limiting beliefs. 
    Holistic Healing: Grounding techniques, breathing exercises, and rituals for emotional and physical well-being. 
    A Life of Joy: Simple, actionable ideas to bring creativity, laughter, and celebration into daily life. 
    This book empowers Black women to heal generational wounds, reclaim their power, and embrace self-love. 
    Part of the Beautiful Powerful Love Series 
    This memoir is the first in the Beautiful Powerful Love series, followed by Remember Who The Fck You Are*, a journal and activity book for Black women. Together, these works provide a transformational toolkit for self-discovery, healing, and reconnecting with Ancestral wisdom.

    Educational inequity remains one of the most pressing challenges facing modern society. Despite decades of effort to create equal opportunities for all students, disparities persist, especially along lines of race, socioeconomic status, and geography. These inequities are not merely abstract concepts but realities that shape the educational experiences of millions of children worldwide, with long-lasting effects on their futures. 
      
    At its core, educational inequity refers to the unequal distribution of resources, opportunities, and outcomes within the education system. It manifests in various forms, such as disparities in school funding, access to qualified teachers, availability of educational materials, and differences in academic performance across different student groups. For example, students from low-income families or rural areas often face additional barriers, including overcrowded classrooms, outdated textbooks, and limited access to extracurricular activities. Meanwhile, students from wealthier backgrounds tend to attend schools with better facilities, more advanced technology, and more specialized support. 
      
    The impact of these disparities is profound. Research shows that students who attend underfunded schools are more likely to experience lower academic achievement, higher dropout rates, and limited access to higher education. Additionally, the long-term effects of these inequities extend beyond the classroom, influencing future employment opportunities, income levels, and overall life outcomes. For marginalized communities, the cycle of inequality can be difficult to break, perpetuating systemic disadvantages that span generations.

    A certified psychedelic therapist explores the deeper healing offered by psychedelics to those working through trauma.   “Micah has created a must-read for anyone curious about the healing power of psychedelics. Healing Psychedelics demystifies the process and emphasizes safety and effectiveness, making it an essential guide for both new explorers and seasoned practitioners.” —Jessika Lagarde, psychedelic-assisted medicine facilitator, integration coach, and cofounder of Women On Psychedelics   Psychedelics are showing great promise as a new way to heal trauma and improve emotional wellness. Studies reveal that they can be effective in reducing PTSD, anxiety, and depression symptoms, even in cases that are resistant to other treatments. Stover offers a comprehensive and informative guide for both professionals and patients who are interested in learning more about psychedelic-assisted therapy.   Each chapter reveals a vignette taken directly from the psychedelic space that shows the medicines (medium and macro-doses of MDMA, psilocybin, ketamine, and cannabis), why they were chosen, and the process used for transformation during the sessions. Stover weaves in wisdom from indigenous and Mexican healers and practitioners with application exercises, writing prompts, and journal entries to deepen the reader’s healing journey. These exercises are applicable to all readers, whether you are working on your own or with a therapist.  Healing Psychedelics shows the complete process, enabling the reader to safely unlock the power of psychedelics to heal trauma and transform their life for a brighter future.

    We're all looking for that perfect balance between loving ourselves and becoming the best person we can be. But it's going to take more than bubble baths, wine, $8 lattes, affirmations, and other bullsh*t social media has deemed essential for #selfcare and #selfimprovement. 
     
     
     
    To truly become your best self, you have to be a little more . . . 
     
     
     
    SELFISH. 
     
     
     
    Selfishness is perhaps the world's most controversial, undesirable, and misunderstood trait—particularly for women. In our lives, we bend over backward to avoid this stigmatizing label. 
     
     
     
    But what if we didn't? 
     
     
     
    In Self-ish, clinical psychologist Sunita Osborn challenges what we think we know about selfishness. With radical candor and bold humor, she dispels the myths and distortions that surround the fundamental psychological concepts of self-care, self-trust, self-love, and self-discipline, explaining how these terms have become empty badges of honor because of social media, societal norms, and our upbringings. 
     
     
     
    Dr. Osborn urges women everywhere to unapologetically nurture their personal growth with strength and wisdom, blazing a path to self-leadership with encouragement, tools, and concrete steps to level-up their whole selves.
