Synopsis

"World music" emerged as a commercial and musical category in the 1980s, but in some sense music has always been global. Through the metaphor of encounters, Music and Globalization explores the dynamics that enable or hinder cross-cultural communication through music. In the stories told by the contributors, we meet well-known players such as David Byrne, Peter Gabriel, Sting, Ry Cooder, Fela Kuti, and Gilberto Gil, but also lesser-known characters such as the Senegalese Afro-Cuban singer Laba Sosseh and Raramuri fiddle players from northwest Mexico. This collection demonstrates that careful historical and ethnographic analysis of global music can show us how globalization operates and what, if anything, we as consumers have to do with it.

    What if deception had a logic of its own? 
    In Sophist, Plato dares to tackle the concept of falsehood—not as error, but as something that seems to exist within language and thought. Through a dense but gripping dialogue between the Eleatic Stranger and Theaetetus, the discussion exposes the tricks of sophistry, the instability of language, and the paradox of how “what is not” can still be spoken of and understood. 
    This modernized audiobook delivers one of Plato’s most intellectually daring texts with clarity and precision. Perfect for thinkers, scholars, and seekers of truth. 
    What you’ll discover inside: 
    •	A bold philosophical exploration of non-being, falsehood, and the metaphysics of language 
    •	A deep critique of sophistry, appearance, and rhetorical manipulation 
    •	Plato’s method of division—used to isolate philosophical concepts with surgical accuracy 
    •	A readable, listener-friendly adaptation of one of Plato’s most abstract and influential works 
    If you want to unravel the logic behind illusion and sharpen your understanding of truth, Sophist is essential listening.

    The Least Retraumatizing Read on Childhood Sexual Abuse.  
    For Survivors, by a Survivor. 
     
    Healing Honestly is a candid, poignant, and often funny survivor-to-survivor guide to navigating the salty waters of untrue stories and victim-blaming narratives that survivors of child sex abuse hear every day. 
     
    Survivors of child sex abuse (CSA) are inundated with untrue stories of their abuse, the aftermath, and what their healing journey should look like. The truth is those stories are a bunch of hot garbage.  
      
    Healing Honestly is a guide for survivors, written by a survivor, helping to break through the negative self-talk and debunk the myths that impact victims of CSA, such as:  
    -	There is a "real" survivor out there, and we are not it.  
    -	It happened so long ago that we should be over it by now.  
    -	We are having too much sex because of our trauma, and also, we are having too little sex because of our trauma.  
      
    With an approachable style that makes heavy topics not so damn scary, this book shows how trauma survivors can learn to identify these untrue stories that often come up in dating, in friendships, in families, at work, and more. Readers will discover strategies for turning down the volume on the bullshit so that they can hear their own wisdom and inner truth more clearly.   
      
    Full of wit and humor, Healing Honestly offers practical strategies for survivors of sex abuse to support themselves in living full and vibrant lives.

    In the thirteenth century BC, a quarter of a century before the Trojan War, seven Greek warrior heroes went against the Greek city of Thebes to restore one of their number to the throne of his father, the famous King Oedipus. Several children of those seven heroes would later take part in the siege of Troy. This adventure was equal in the minds of Greeks and Romans with the siege of Troy as told in Homer’s epic The Iliad, an event which it predated by a generation. And while the story contains mythical elements, there are no factual, historical, or archaeological reasons to suggest that the military campaign did not take place much as described. Initially sung in verse and later committed to written form via histories, ancient poems, and plays, Seven Against Thebes is a historical narrative concerning one of the greatest military adventures of all time.

    In 2007, after almost 40 years of operations, the SAS ceased operations in Northern Ireland and ended the longest operational commitment in the unit's history. It had been a brutal and ruthless conflict on both sides with the SAS famously describing its attitude to the use of lethal force as 'Big Boys' Rules'. Anyone suspect caught with a gun or bomb could expect to be shot without question.Starting in 1969, Mark Urban reveals the extraordinary history of the special forces' operations in Northern Ireland and the unenviable dilemmas faced by intelligence chiefs engaged in a daily struggle against one of the world's most sophisticated terrorist organisations.'This is a book that needed to be written and which fulfils the essentials of any Ulster story; it expands understanding beyond fragmented jingoism and newspaper headlines.'
