Shujing - Book of Documents

Autores Varios

Publisher: Aroha

Summary

The Shujing, or Book of Documents, is one of the oldest and most influential classics of Chinese civilization. Compiled over centuries during the Shang and Zhou dynasties, it gathers a collection of royal speeches, political proclamations, moral instructions, and early historical records that shaped the foundations of Chinese governance and statecraft.

Far more than a historical anthology, the Shujing articulates the ethical vision that guided early rulers: the Mandate of Heaven, the moral responsibilities of leadership, and the belief that political power is legitimate only when exercised with virtue. Each chapter reflects a world where ritual, authority, and cosmic order were deeply intertwined, revealing how ancient societies imagined the relationship between humans, ancestors, and the divine order.

This modern edition presents a renewed reading of a foundational text that influenced Confucian philosophy, imperial governance, and East Asian culture for over two millennia. The Shujing remains a profound lens for understanding the origins of political ethics, state ritual, and moral responsibility—ideas that continue to resonate in contemporary discussions about leadership and legitimacy.

The Narcissistic Relationship...

Cate Leitner

This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.   
If you’ve ever wondered how a relationship that once felt so right turned into something so painful, we have something in common. 
I know the cycle intimately—the intense highs, the soul-crushing lows, the confusion that makes you question your own sanity. I lived it for over a decade. What started as love became fear, control, and emotional destruction. It wasn’t always obvious; it crept in. 
This book walks you through the six stages of a narcissistic relationship — from idealization to discard and hoovering — with compassion, clarity, and lived experience. You’ll learn what these patterns look like, why they’re so hard to escape, and most importantly, that you’re not crazy, and you’re not alone. 
This isn’t theory — it’s survival turned insight. 
This audiobook is also the first in a full series exploring the hidden pain points of being with a narcissist — gaslighting, triangulation, comparison, self-blame, obsession, and letting go. Each one is designed to meet you where you are and gently walk you toward truth, validation, and emotional freedom. 
Whether you’re still in the relationship, just out, or still aching from the aftermath, I hope these words bring comfort — and a few of those powerful “oh my god, it wasn’t just me” moments. 
You deserve peace. Maybe this is the starting point.

History of Marathas EP06 - Visit...

Vikrant Pande

'I did not come here just to receive the royal honour. My son is a panch hazari Mansabdar under the Badshah. He can be made to stand wherever the Badshah wishes him to. But I am not a servant of the Badshah! I am a Raja in my own right!'
The three of them returned, unable to convince Shivaji. They explained the situation to the Badshah when Ram Singh said, 'Alijah! It seems the hot Agra weather has not suited Raje. Please pardon him. He will present himself soon.'
'I can understand his feelings,' said Aurangzeb.
'Ram Singh, please sprinkle my special gulab jal on him to cool him down. Please request him to come back. We will then talk.'

Dividing Lines - How...

Deborah N. Archer

Our nation's transportation system is crumbling. But as acclaimed scholar and ACLU president Deborah Archer warns in Dividing Lines, before we can think about rebuilding and repairing, we must consider the role race has played in transportation infrastructure, from the early twentieth century and into the present day. 
 
 
 
As Archer demonstrates, the success of the Civil Rights movement and the fall of Jim Crow in the 1960s did not mean the end of segregation. With state-sanctioned racism no longer legal, officials across the country turned to transportation infrastructure to keep Americans divided. A wealthy white neighborhood could no longer be "protected" by racial covenants and segregated shops, but a multilane road, with no pedestrian crossings, could be built along its border to make it difficult for people from a lower-income community to visit. Highways could not be routed through Black neighborhoods based on the race of their residents, but those neighborhoods' lower property values—a legacy of racial exclusion—could justify their destruction. 
 
 
 
Drawing on a wealth of sources, including interviews with people who now live in the shadow of highways and other major infrastructure projects, Archer presents a sweeping, national account—from Atlanta and Houston to Indianapolis and New York City—of our persistent divisions.

Ever since the first whisper of their names, incubi and succubi have fascinated and terrified, sirenly entrapping their victims into a seductive, deadly embrace. The veil is pulled off in this book, exposing the dark truth about these nocturnal predators.
Look into the human mind, where true terror really resides. Analyze how sleep paralysis and suppressed desires result in nightmarish encounters with these demons.

Lean Production Scale-up

Ilkka Taponen

This audiobook is an altered version of the Master’s thesis Lean Production Scale-up. How a startup can scale the manufacturing of physical product innovation by Ilkka Taponen. Approximately half of the original thesis has been removed to suit the audiobook format. The audiobook edit has been designed for an audience familiar with startups and business, meaning that large portions of the basics have been removed from the Theory chapter.Today the market entry for new ideas and entrepreneurs is easier than ever as the digital age is reshaping how business is done. Through digitalization, the business environment has become highly open and widely connected. The combinations of digital technologies like edge computing and artificial intelligence, AI, enable new business model opportunities. In this fast-changing environment, the most important thing is to learn as fast as possible what to do next and what is worth doing at all. Multiple non-fiction books like The Four Steps to the Epiphany by Steve Blank and Lean Startup by Eric Ries study the modern internet-era startup business environment.Still, one aspect has not been included in the broader public discussion. The tools presented in Lean Startup concentrate on finding the market fit as efficiently as possible but assume that the same level of uncertainties does not exist in the company's internal processes. “We wanted flying cars, instead we got 140 characters” is a famous quote by startup investor Peter Thiel. Behind the quote is the notion that there is something different and more challenging about developing physical technologies compared to online services. Manufacturing, indeed, is an underrated problem. It is much harder to take advanced technology and bring it to volume manufacturing than to design it in the first place.
