Sinopse

The I Ching, or The Book of Changes, is an ancient Chinese text that serves as both a divination guide and a philosophical treatise. Its complex system of hexagrams, formed by the interplay of yin and yang, reflects a profound understanding of duality and change in the universe. Through rich parables and commentaries, the text explores themes such as balance, moral integrity, and the cyclical nature of life. The stylistic elegance of the I Ching, characterized by terse yet evocative language, situates it within the broader literary tradition of classical Chinese philosophy, influencing both Eastern and Western thought over centuries. Though attributed to various sages within the Confucian and Taoist traditions, the true identity of its author remains anonymous, allowing the text to embody collective wisdom rather than individual ambition. The historical context of this work reflects ancient China's dynamic social fabric, with the text emerging from a synthesis of superstition, philosophy, and governance, which might have shaped its emphasis on harmony and ethical decision-making in an ever-changing world. I recommend the I Ching to readers seeking insights into the universal laws of change and balance. This timeless masterpiece not only offers guidance for personal reflection and decision-making but also serves as a philosophical anchor in tumultuous times, making it a vital read for scholars, practitioners of divination, and those interested in the intricate dance of fate and free will.

    We broke our new series on learning Greek down into different learning stages. Start with the "Lower Beginner" books followed by the "Beginner" and "Upper Beginner" books. Next, progress to the "Intermediate" series, then test and reinforce your knowledge with the "Conversations" series. 
    This audiobook is divided into units.While it provides different learning patterns and accommodates various needs, this audiobook focuses on helping you improve your ability to understand, speak, and memorise Greek.  
    In Unit 1 you will hear Greek decoded with each syllable spoken very slowly and clearly with repetition. Immediately before each sentence is spoken, you will hear the translation, so you will always understand what is being said. 
    Unit 2 focuses solely on increasing your listening ability, which will improve your abilities to engage in dialogue with a native Greek speaker. This chapter requires you to listen very carefully to nuances in the language. 
    By Unit 3 you will already notice progress in your abilities to speak and understand Greek. The spoken translation is followed by two repetitions in Greek at a completely natural speed. While you are learning to process naturally spoken Greek, Units 3 and 4 will help you memorise new vocabulary and full sentences.  
    In Unit 5 you can test yourself on how much you have learned. If you are having difficulties, we suggest you revisit the listening, speaking, or memorisation section of Units 1, 2 3 or 4, according to what you need more help with.

    Between Square Buttes is 35 short pieces that chronicle the American West over the last 50 years.  It is bird hunting, fly fishing, dog breeding, dog trialing, decline of habitat, loss of access, but mostly it is the story of the greatness that still exists in America today.  It started as a tribute to the last best place, Montana.  But in the end, it may be the beginning of the end of the last best place.  Told anecdotally, it brings to life the rivers, the plains, and the dogs that hunt these vast stretches of prairie.  And finally, it tells of the changes in land ownership in the West as more and more of it is being eaten up by developers and new landowners from all over the world who want a piece of it before it all goes away.  Revel in the rare beauty and incredible richness through the eyes and understanding of a man who has been there and done that.  Between Square Buttes will make you happy, make you sad, lift your spirit and break your heart as you follow the life of a serious fly fisherman and bird hunter who hunted and fished the best when it was the best and left the rest behind in search of more rivers, and newer land to hunt.

    Deborah Dundas is a journalist who grew up poor and almost didn’t make it to university. In On Class, she talks to writers, activists, those who work with the poor and those who are poor about what happens when we don’t talk about poverty or class—and what will happen when we do.
    		 
    Growing up poor, Deborah Dundas knew what it meant to want, to be hungry, and to long for social and economic dignity; she understood the crushing weight of having nothing much expected of you. But even after overcoming many of the usual barriers faced by lower- and working-class people, she still felt anxious about her place, and even in relatively safe spaces reluctant to broach the subject of class. While new social movements have generated open conversation about gender and racism, discussions of class rarely include the voices of those most deeply affected: the working class and poor. 
    On Class is an exploration of the ways in which we talk about class: of who tells the stories, and who doesn’t, which ones tend to be repeated most often, and why this has to change. It asks the question: What don’t we talk about when we don’t talk about class? And what might happen if, finally, we did?

    How does the Byzantine Empire, which fell in 1453, still apply to us today? 
    Many of us do not know much about the Byzantine Empire; it lived on in the East after the Roman Empire fell, but its one-thousand-year history is full of innovations that have changed how we create art, write laws, and think about our lives today. The Byzantine Empire was a key factor that started the Italian Renaissance and moved Western Europe out of the Middle Ages. Far from being ancient history, the Byzantine Empire still impacts our lives today. 
    Scholars have studied individual emperors or specific battles during the Byzantine Empire for years. They have discussed people like Emperor Justinian I or events like the Fall of Constantinople or The Great Schism. But the Byzantine Empire was more than a couple of important leaders or their final loss to the Ottomans. This empire survived for many years against great odds, filled with new ideas about religion, art, and how to live life.  
    It's time to look back into history and discover the many parts of the Byzantine Empire. In this new and captivating audiobook, you’ll learn what made the Byzantine Empire so special and how it still influences us today. 
    Here are some of the questions you will uncover by listening to this audiobook:How was Constantinople so well guarded against attackers?Why was the Byzantine Empire concerned about the Crusades?How was Rome related to the Byzantine Empire?Who founded Constantinople?Why was Emperor Justinian I so important?When did Eastern Orthodoxy separate from Roman Catholicism? Why did the Crusaders attack Constantinople during the Fourth Crusade?Who were the Ottomans?Why did the Byzantines maintain Greek and Roman culture?

    What if the very medicine that could save your life was locked behind a patent?
     
    Owning the Sun is a powerful and urgent investigation into how the pharmaceutical industry turned lifesaving knowledge into private property—and the global consequences of that transformation. Tracing the rise of medical monopolies from postwar public research to pandemic-era profit wars, this audiobook exposes the systems, laws, and ideologies that prioritize wealth over wellness.
     
    With riveting storytelling and deep analysis, it unpacks how drugs developed with public funds became billion-dollar assets controlled by private corporations. From the AIDS crisis in Africa to the COVID-19 vaccine battles, from grassroots resistance to the call for a new commons, Owning the Sun challenges listeners to reconsider what we value—and who pays the price for progress.
     
    Essential listening for anyone concerned with healthcare, ethics, or justice in the modern world, this audiobook is a call to action: reclaim medicine for the many, not the few.
