The Speeches of Marcus

Marcus Aurelius

In the echoes of ancient Rome, where the clang of swords met the whispers of philosophy, Marcus Aurelius stood as both ruler and sage. The Speeches of Marcus is not a mere collection of words, but a testament to a mind sculpted by discipline and tempered by duty. His voice, austere yet compassionate, resounds through the corridors of time, inviting the listener to ponder the nature of power, virtue, and the fragile thread that binds humanity.
With each measured phrase, Marcus does not seek to dazzle or dominate but to illuminate the path of reason and justice. His reflections, born from the battlefield and the senate, transcend the realm of politics and touch the core of the human soul. This work is not for the fleeting mind but for the seeker of truth, for those who dare to confront the impermanence of life and the inevitability of fate. 
The Speeches of Marcus is an invitation to stand beside the philosopher-emperor as he faces the storms of empire and the shadows of mortality. It is a timeless dialogue between the self and the world, where the echoes of wisdom guide us through the chaos of existence.

F*cked - Being Sexually...

Krystyna Hutchinson, Corinne Fisher

Comedians Corinne Fisher and Krystyna Hutchinson started Guys We F*cked: The Anti Slut-Shaming Podcast in 2013, intending to interview guys they'd slept with to learn more about themselves and squash the stigma so often associated with sexual women. As the podcast grew, and Corinne and Krystyna got to know their fans, stories of sexual assault, verbal and emotional abuse, and crippling shame became common topics of discussion along with those humorous conversations highlighting overall sexual confusion among many adults. The podcast is now an community of over a million listeners worldwide, and a place where any and all taboo sex topics are discussed freely, both with celebrity guests and the real people in their lives. 
Their new book, F*cked, follows that model, as Corinne and Krystyna bring a mix of raw, ridiculous, and serious sexual conversation to the page that will include topics like:Why shame is completely made up and how we can stop giving into itSexual exploration and how it sometimes ends in a trip to the ERStuff we should stop doing: Snooping, nitpicking our bodies, and faking orgasmsAsking your sexual partner uncomfortable questionsHow to get yourself out of an unsafe situationMasturbation, threesomes, porn, sex toys, butt stuffAnd much, much more 
Corinne and Krystyna are tired of books that pander to women like they’re hot messes, unable to handle their emotions without the assistance of a man, a glass of rosé, and a Xanax. This audiobook will teach the listener, be they male, female, transgender or undecided, that you deal with sh*t, you brush your shoulder off, and you move the f*ck on. In a society where it has, for some reason, become chic to be the victim, they say this pity party ends now.  
This is a guide to love and sex for women who drink whiskey because they like it, not because it’s a cute thing to say on your Tinder profile. It has no trigger warnings because life doesn’t come with those. It won’t talk down to you or coddle you because you’re better than that. Corinne and Krystyna aren’t going to explain why he’s just not that into you, because it doesn’t f*cking matter. Despite what television, Rom-Coms, and glossy magazines tell you, you’re fine all by yourself. This is the audiobook Bridget Jones should’ve heard instead of writing that sh*tty diary in the first place.

The Theory of Moral Sentiments

Adam Smith

"The Theory of Moral Sentiments" is a book written by Adam Smith, a Scottish philosopher and economist who lived from 1723 to 1790. First published in 1759, the book is considered one of the most important works in the field of moral philosophy. 
In the book, Smith explores the nature of morality and the role of sympathy and empathy in human interactions. He argues that human beings are naturally inclined to feel sympathy for others, and that this sympathy forms the basis of moral judgments. He also discusses the concept of the "impartial spectator," an imagined observer who helps us to judge the morality of our own actions. 
Smith's ideas in "The Theory of Moral Sentiments" have had a profound impact on fields beyond moral philosophy, including economics and political theory. In his later work, "The Wealth of Nations," Smith developed his ideas on the nature of markets and the division of labor, which have become foundational concepts in modern economics. 
Overall, "The Theory of Moral Sentiments" is a key work in the development of Western moral philosophy, and is still widely studied and debated today.

Language and Mediated...

Robert W Lawson

From television shows to the manosphere, and from alt-right communities to fatherhood forums, debates about masculinity have come to dominate the media landscape. This growing cultural tension around masculinities has been discussed and analyzed both for general audiences and in burgeoning academic scholarship. What has been typically overlooked, however, is the role that language plays in these mediated performances of masculinity. 
 
 
 
In Language and Mediated Masculinities, Robert Lawson draws on data from newspapers, social media sites, television programs, and online forums to explore language and masculinities across a range of media contexts. The book offers a critical evaluation of the intersection between language, masculinities, and identities in contemporary society. Lawson furthers our understanding of how language is implicated in (re)creating gender ideologies and how it shapes contemporary gender relations. Against a cultural backdrop of rising neoliberalism, ethnic nationalism, online radicalization, networked misogyny, and fractious gender relations, this book is an important contribution to charting how language is used to monitor, evaluate, and police masculinities in online and offline spaces.
