  No Self No God No Clue - David...

  ohn Locke: Enlightenment philosopher, father of liberalism, inventor of “natural rights,” and accidental spiritual patron of land developers, libertarians, and your uncle who won’t shut up about property taxes. 
  In this gloriously sarcastic takedown of one of Western philosophy’s most over-quoted minds, Sophia Blackwell (Kant You Not, No Self, No God, No Clue) guides you through Locke’s greatest hits—including: 
  The blank slate theory, which basically says you’re born dumb and the world makes you worse 
  His ideas on identity, which collapse the second you forget your phone password 
  His version of consent, which mostly consists of “You didn’t leave, so I assume you’re fine with it.” 
  And of course, property rights—where mixing your labor with the earth somehow makes it yours, and stealing land becomes morally correct as long as you bring a shovel 
  Locke’s political philosophy inspired democracies, revolutions, and every 400-comment Reddit thread titled “Taxation is theft.” 
  This is not a respectful biography. 
  This is a roast. A eulogy. A survival guide for understanding how Locke gave us: 
  Liberalism 
  Landlords 
  Legal headaches 
  And a political system that thinks fencing off a patch of dirt = moral superiority 
  Perfect for: 
  Recovering philosophy students 
  Political skeptics 
  Enlightenment haters 
  Property law survivors 
  And anyone who wants to laugh while questioning whether government is just a giant metaphor for a really passive-aggressive roommate agreement 
  You don’t need to read Two Treatises of Government. 
  You just need to know Locke said, “I think I own that,” and people believed him.

  "This Poem 'In Days Gone By - Newbury'. Part 3 of the series Nature: Natural Healing.A time when most of the UK Countryside was criss-crossed by small roads and slow moving cars.And the pace was slower and more durable for nature.A delicate balance had been formed between the new motor car and the hedgerows and byways that struck a chord of harmony between each other. Broken now, with too many Motorways and not enough cycle lanes - leaving nature, floundering.I the Author have been writing Poetry for around 20 years. Most of it has been published on Amazon. I write on varied topics which resonate with what I'm thinking or studying at that time.Credit for the artwork on this piece, goes to Mike Miko for his interpretation of this poem into pictorial Art form." His skill in depicting the scenes of the Newbury bypass running through the heart of a forest, with a ghostly image of Swampies son, was truly remarkable.

  This treasured historical satire, played out in two very different socioeconomic worlds of 16th-century England, centers around the lives of two boys born in London on the same day: Edward, Prince of Wales and Tom Canty, a street beggar. During a chance encounter, the two realize they are identical and, as a lark, decide to exchange clothes and roles--a situation that briefly, but drastically, alters the lives of both youngsters.
  
  The Prince, dressed in rags, wanders about the city's boisterous neighborhoods among the lower classes and endures a series of hardships; meanwhile, poor Tom, now living with the royals, is constantly filled with the dread of being discovered for who and what he really is.

  After chasing a peaches and cream feral cat, with a mourning dove dangling from its mouth, through the yard, everything changes for Laura DiNunno. 
  Mourning the recent loss of her soul dog, and moving to upstate New York, she can’t seem to shake off the grief of pet loss and this little cat becomes a much-needed distraction. 
  What begins as innocently as throwing scraps of food out to a starving, and very pregnant, feral cat turns into feeding a small family of felines. But when tragedy strikes and two of the kittens die, the mother and her remaining babies are more vulnerable than ever. Now the broken-hearted human, who never cared for cats, finds herself in a “wild” relationship with them. 
  Filled with heart, and humor, this is the story of the ups and downs of a feral mom and her kittens, and the human they adopted, as they go from wild and struggling in an unforgiving landscape to mostly tame and living their best life inside.

  I've had the opportunity to travel and live outside of Brazil and I know how difficult it is to adapt to a new language and culture. This audiobook aims to make your life easier here in Brazil! 
  I thought about different situations that a tourist may experience here, and I made this mini dictionary with more than 2000 words separated in 50 different themes. 
  In this audiobook you will also find practical examples of how to use these words in your daily life. 
  Hope this audiobook helps you :) 
  Have a good time!
