  Many children are lucky enough to go fishing. The luckiest ones get to go fishing with their grandpas! Dinesh is one of the luckiest ones. In author Dhan Reddy’s How Grandpa Tata Caught a Ginormous Fish without a Hook, Grandpa is never happy with the size of fish he is given to eat. No matter how large, it’s just not big enough. So one night, he and his grandson, Dinesh, go in search of a really big fish. Unlike most of us, they don’t take a fishing pole and bait. No, Grandpa takes a piglet! So how does one catch a really big fish with a piglet? How Grandpa Tata Caught a Ginormous Fish without a Hook, based on a story the author’s grandfather often told when she was a child, is a funny tale of going out and getting what you want—if you’re willing to go beyond what others do.

  The ability to work with issues of race and intersectionality within psychology is vital. Contributors with experience in counseling psychology and applied psychology from across varied social contexts and professional settings reframe and challenge familiar concepts such as movements to decolonize the curriculum, psychology, and therapy. This book captures the relationship between the ethos of counseling psychology and race, offering a much-needed guide for how to encompass race and racialized experiences in the training and practice of psychology. Rooted in the United Kingdom context but applicable more widely, contributions cover training, supervision, ethical practice, racial trauma, bias and diagnosis, and politics, as well as perspectives and approaches in practice at the intersection of race and gender, age, neurodiversity, sexuality, and spirituality. 
  This is a key resource for the continued development of in-training and experienced psychologists and psychotherapists, as well as other practitioners within the mental health and allied professions. It will also be of use to students in clinical training programs and courses such as applied psychology, counseling, and psychotherapy.

  A Dusty Tomes Audio BookIn Cooperation with Spoken Realms 
  Meetings With Poe from Recollections, Personal and Literary by Richard Henry Stoddard 
  Narrated by Joseph Tabler 
  A. S. Barnes and Company 1903. 
  Editor’s Note: Living as he did through several distinct periods of American literary history, Mr. Stoddard’s recollections inevitably represented a range and a richness that made their preservation essential. 
  From the Introduction by Edmund Clarence Stedman: (Richard Henry Stoddard) began long enough ago to have had his early poetry refused by Poe because it was too good to be the work of an obscure stripling. 
  From 1870 to 1873, he was a confidential clerk to George B. McClellan in the New York dock department, and from 1874 to 1875 city librarian of New York. He was a literary reviewer for the New York World (1860–1870); one of the editors of Vanity Fair; editor of The Aldine (1869–1879), and literary editor of the Mail and the Mail and Express (1880–1903).

  Politics and the English Language

  George Orwell

  This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice. MOST people who bother with the matter at all would admit that the English language is in a bad way, but it is generally assumed that we cannot by conscious action do anything about it. Our civilization is decadent, and our language—so the argument runs—must inevitably share in the general collapse. It follows that any struggle against the abuse of language is a sentimental archaism, like preferring candles to electric light or hansom cabs to aeroplanes. Underneath this lies the half-conscious belief that language is a natural growth and not an instrument which we shape for our own purposes. 
   
  Now, it is clear that the decline of a language must ultimately have political and economic causes: it is not due simply to the bad influence of this or that individual writer. But an effect can become a cause, reinforcing the original cause and producing the same effect in an intensified form, and so on indefinitely. A man may take to drink because he feels himself to be a failure, and then fail all the more completely because he drinks. It is rather the same thing that is happening to the English language. It becomes ugly and inaccurate because our thoughts are foolish, but the slovenliness of our language makes it easier for us to have foolish thoughts. The point is that the process is reversible. Modern English, especially written English, is full of bad habits which spread by imitation and which can be avoided if one is willing to take the necessary trouble. If one gets rid of these habits one can think more clearly, and to think clearly is a necessary first step towards political regeneration: so that the fight against bad English is not frivolous and is not the exclusive concern of professional writers. I will come back to this presently, and I hope that by that time the meaning of what I have said here will have become clearer. Meanwhile, here are five specimens of the English language as it is now habitually written.

  A thought-provoking and stimulating argument that consciousness—not matter—is the true bedrock of creation. 
   
  Amit Goswami, PhD, shatters the widely popular belief held by Western science that matter is the primary "stuff" of creation and proposes instead that consciousness is the true foundation of all we know and perceive. 
   
  His concise, easy-to-understand explanation of quantum physics, called "a model of clarity" by Kirkus Reviews, sets the stage for a voyage of discovery through the common ground of science and religion, the entwined nature of mind and body, and our interconnectedness with all of creation. 
   
  PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio. 
   
  This audiobook is expertly read by Manish Dongardive, with audio engineering by Alexander Brown. It was produced and published by Echo Point Books & Media, an independent bookseller in Brattleboro, Vermont.

  Hitler's Spanish Legion - The...

  A history of the 47,000 Spanish soldiers who volunteered to fight for Hitler in Russia during World War II. Although Spain claimed neutrality during World War II, 47,000 Spaniards volunteered to fight on behalf of the Third Reich. Known as the Blue Division, they battled the Soviets on the Eastern Front and played a key role in the pivotal siege of Leningrad. Set apart from the Wehrmacht by stark differences in culture, tactics, and command structure, these volunteers fought—many of them to the death—with courage and tenacity against strong opposition, extreme temperatures, and insufficient supplies for what they believed was their chance to secure Spain’s place in a new and changing Europe.
