    In Herland, Charlotte Perkins Gilman imagines a hidden utopia untouched by men for over two thousand years—an all-female society flourishing in peace, cooperation, and innovation. When three curious male explorers—Vandyck Jennings, Terry Nicholson, and Jeff Margrave—stumble upon this mysterious land, their expectations are upended by a civilization that thrives without war, dominance, or patriarchy. 
Blending satire, social commentary, and speculative fiction, Herland critiques early 20th-century gender roles and envisions a radical rethinking of what a just and sustainable society could look like. As the men's values clash with those of Herland’s enlightened inhabitants, the novel challenges listeners to question long-held assumptions about gender, power, motherhood, and human potential. 
This thought-provoking classic remains strikingly relevant today, offering a compelling exploration of feminism, societal design, and the possibility of true equality.

After the sudden death of his father, Dr. Yavari learns of the most closely-guarded secret of his family: an astonishing lineage the stretches back more than three thousand years, and the inheritance of not only a kingdom lost, but a kingdom stolen from them. With this revelation, an ancient vendetta is reawakened and Yavari quickly begins rising to power in the Islamic Republic of Iran. 
Thirteen years after Dr. Yavari becomes a top adviser in the regime, Iran has completed its quest to become the second nuclear power in the Middle East, though not without tremendous cost.

Within months, Iran’s nuclear program at Quds will be producing several warheads per year. 
To counter the growing threat of a nuclearized Iran, a team of Israeli agents has been dispatched to Qom with the sole objective of stopping the enrichment program at Quds by any means necessary.
