  This book explores how hope operates as an ambivalent force in relation to issues of sex and gender, power, and identity in both our private and public lives. 
   
  The author blends her deep knowledge of psychotherapy and mental health with cultural and philosophical understanding to consider how we have reached our current dilemmas around sex and gender, race, power and identity. Psychoanalysis is put to task in relation to clinical practice, literature, feminism, politics, and the understandings of how our personal lives and selves interact with the wider cultural moment we are living through. She explores these issues with compassion and understanding and offers a vision of how we may be able to navigate through widely varying perspectives to a new way of envisioning hope today, as both a false promise and a real and necessary component in our lives and within the clinical encounter. 
   
  Drawing on clinical psychoanalytic work as well as literature and memoir, this is essential listening for anyone wanting a psychoanalytically informed understanding of where society is on key issues and where we may be able to get to with hope.

  In 2018, police announced that they had finally arrested the "Golden State Killer," a man responsible for over 140 burglaries, fifty rapes, and at least thirteen murders committed in California throughout the 1970s and '80s. That man turned out to be a former California police officer, Joseph James DeAngelo Jr. 
   
   
   
  Just two months earlier, the publication of I'll Be Gone in the Dark by Michelle McNamara had rocked the world of true crime. Published two years after her death, the book charts McNamara's obsessive search for the prolific criminal who had been known over the years as the East Area Rapist, the Original Night Stalker, and the Visalia Ransacker, among other epithets. McNamara is credited with coining the "Golden State Killer" moniker and heightening public awareness of the—at the time—still unsolved case. 
   
   
   
  William Thorp dives into the investigation, exploring the dark side of sunny California, the advances in forensic innovation that made solving this case possible, and the story inside the story—one of an amateur sleuth who dedicated the last years of her life to understanding how one of the country's worst criminals could have spent so many decades undetected.

  The Influence of Greek and Roman...

  The interaction between Greek, Roman, and Egyptian civilizations represents one of the most dynamic periods of cultural blending in ancient history. As neighboring powers came into contact through trade, diplomacy, and conquest, their customs, ideas, and beliefs began to intertwine, giving rise to a unique fusion that would leave a lasting imprint on Egyptian society. This chapter explores how these cultural exchanges began and how they shaped Egypt during the Hellenistic and Roman periods. 
  The initial encounter between Egypt and the Greeks occurred long before Alexander the Great’s arrival, through trade across the Mediterranean. However, it was Alexander’s conquest of Egypt in 332 BCE that marked a significant turning point. His establishment of the city of Alexandria set the stage for a new era, where Greek customs and governance took root alongside ancient Egyptian traditions. The subsequent Ptolemaic dynasty, descended from one of Alexander’s generals, became a bridge between Greek and Egyptian worlds, adopting pharaonic symbols while introducing Hellenistic art, language, and administrative systems. 
  Cultural transmission was not solely the result of conquest—it also flourished through everyday interactions. Greek settlers in Egypt brought with them their language, religion, and lifestyle, but they also adapted to local customs, often integrating Egyptian deities and rituals into their own belief systems. Temples began to reflect a blend of architectural styles, and literature began to emerge in both Greek and Demotic scripts, reflecting a hybrid intellectual life.

  So, you think you know what happened during the Crusades. But do you really?

In this audiobook, we seek to clear up many of these questions and provide you with a concise and accurate history of the Crusades. Much of the history of the Crusades has been obscured through the years through opinionated conjecture. We attempt to set the record straight in as unbiased a portrayal as possible.

This audiobook explores how the scope and ideology of the Crusades evolved over time, from the conquest of Jerusalem during the First Crusade to the fall of the Crusader States. 
  We also take a look at other instances in which Crusades were made, such as the famous Northern Crusades and the Reconquista of Portugal and Spain. If you would like to learn more about what the Crusades were all about, what caused them to take place, and how it all ended up, this audiobook has you covered!
