Arabian Society in the Middle Ages: Studies From The Thousand and One Nights - Enriched edition

Edward William Lane

Maison d'édition: DigiCat

Synopsis

In "Arabian Society in the Middle Ages: Studies From The Thousand and One Nights," Edward William Lane provides a comprehensive examination of the social, cultural, and political mores of the medieval Arab world, as gleaned through the lens of the iconic "One Thousand and One Nights." Lane's meticulous scholarship is evident in his rich prose, which combines narrative accessibility with scholarly rigor, allowing for both lay readers and academics alike to engage with the text. The work is contextualized within the broader European fascination with the Orient during the 19th century, reflecting both the romanticism and the critical scholarship of the period, while illuminating the socio-political dynamics of Arab society through the tales that capture its essence. Lane, a British orientalist, linguist, and translator, devoted his life to the study of Arabic language and culture, spending years in Egypt. His firsthand experiences and deep understanding of the language not only shaped his interpretations of the tales but also underscored his commitment to presenting an authentic portrayal of Arab societies. Lane's scholarship played a pivotal role in introducing the nuances of Islamic civilizations to Western audiences, making his insights critical for anyone studying the period. This book is recommended for readers who seek a deeper understanding of Arab culture and its intricate social fabric. Lane's keen observations, paired with his thorough analysis, make this work essential for scholars of Middle Eastern studies, history enthusiasts, and those interested in the literary significance of the "One Thousand and One Nights." It is a vital contribution that enriches the discourse on medieval societies and their lasting legacies.

On the Genealogy of Morality

Friedrich Nietzsche

What if everything you believed about good and evil was born not from truth… but from resentment?
Enter the piercing world of Friedrich Nietzsche, where morality is not sacred—but suspect. In On the Genealogy of Morality, one of philosophy’s most provocative voices unearths the hidden origins of our most cherished values, exposing how power, guilt, and fear shaped the very fabric of human conscience.
Nietzsche, the father of existentialism and herald of the Übermensch, dismantles the illusions of traditional morality with fearless intensity. In this daring trilogy of essays, he asks: What drives our moral judgments? Who benefits from them? And what lies beneath our modern sense of “justice”?
You’ll be drawn into his ruthless critique of Christian morality, a biting exploration of guilt and punishment, and a haunting dissection of ascetic ideals—each part revealing deeper currents of psychological and cultural manipulation. Nietzsche does not give answers; he cracks open the foundations.
More than a century later, his ideas continue to echo through philosophy, literature, and modern thought, challenging generations to confront uncomfortable truths. This audiobook invites you to walk the razor’s edge of moral certainty, where Nietzsche’s insights remain disturbingly relevant in an age of social dogmas and ideological fervor.
Narrated with crisp, articulate AI-voicing, this edition offers exceptional clarity—ideal for absorbing the complex rhythms of Nietzsche’s prose. Let his questions haunt you, provoke you, and perhaps even liberate you.
Dare to listen. Dare to question. Add On the Genealogy of Morality to your collection now—and begin the descent into the shadows of your own beliefs.

Subtle Acts of Exclusion Second...

Tiffany Jana, Michael Baran

An expanded edition of the first practical, nonjudgmental handbook for dealing with microaggressions, featuring examples, sample scripts, action plans, a new discussion and activity guide, and up-to-date suggestions for creating a culture of belonging in the workplace. 
 
Overt discrimination is relatively easy to spot. But the less obvious but more common actions that make people feel left out or stigmatized in our workplaces, commonly called microaggressions, can be hard to identify and even harder to deal with. 
 
The author use a clearer, more accurate term: subtle acts of exclusion (SAE). After all, people generally aren't trying to be aggressive-usually they're trying to say something nice, learn more about a person, or be funny. Bring accused of aggression shuts the conversation down, when you want to open it up.   
 
This book features examples, tools, sample scripts, and action plans to help readers prevent subtle acts of aggression from happening, or deal with them when they do. Updated throughout, this second edition features: 
 
-	A greatly expanded chapter on "intentional acts of inclusion"-actions for creating a sense of belonging. 
-	A discussion and activity guide ideal for book clubs and training sessions 
-	A new concluding chapter, Hope for Humanity 
 
Whether in the form of stereotypes, assumptions, backhanded compliments, or objectification, SAEs are damaging to our coworkers, friends, and acquaintances. This book is your friendly, accessible, non-judgemental guide to creating a welcoming workplace.

Confessions of a Southern Beauty...

Julie Hines Mabus

In the late 1960s, Patsy Channing, a stunningly beautiful young woman, was suspended from the venerable Mississippi State College for Women for breach of conduct. The resulting scandal reached all the way to the Columbus courthouse, and the press ate it up. 
 
 
 
But Patsy's story starts long before that, living with a preoccupied and troubled mother in Memphis, Tennessee. Music becomes her ticket out and a vehicle for the one thing she covets most—a chance to be crowned Miss America. 
 
 
 
In Confessions of a Southern Beauty Queen, Julie Hines Mabus provides a peek into that world—a world struggling through the civil rights movement, reeling from the death of JFK, and cutting loose with the musical innovations from Memphis and Detroit. Patsy develops a close friendship with a guitarist at Stax Recording Studio, giving her firsthand exposure to the early Memphis Soul Sound. 
 
 
 
Confessions of a Southern Beauty Queen opens and closes with the end of Patsy's time at Mississippi State College for Women on that fateful spring morning in 1968 when she entered the Columbus courthouse. Patsy's story, marked with tragedy and triumph, mirrors that of a growing and evolving South, where change never comes easy.
