  Polygamy - A Very Short...

  Marriage has not always meant just one man and one woman. For much of human history, the most common alternative was polygamy: marriage involving more than one spouse. However, polygamy has come to symbolize a problematic, even "barbaric," form of marriage that is often labeled as "backwards," embodying the oppression of women by men. 
   
   
   
  In Polygamy: A Very Short Introduction, Sarah M. S. Pearsall explores what plural marriages reveal about the inner workings of marriage and describes the controversies surrounding it. The book emphasizes the diversity of historical polygamist societies, from the Shi'ite Muslims and Wendat men who practiced short-term marriages to the Mixteca, Maori, Inca, Algonquin, and Marta indigenous people of North America and the Pacific Islands. Pearsall also explains the divides within Christianity that led to Joseph Smith's establishment of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (Mormonism). 
   
   
   
  Polygamy: A Very Short Introduction looks at how polygamous domestic and sexual relationships have influenced larger dynamics of power, gender, rank, race, and religion in societies all over the world, while also attempting to untangle the paradox of female constraint and liberty for women who advocated for polygamy, arguing that plural marriage offered security and stability rather than restraint for women.

  The incredible wartime saga of the only American submariners 
  to survive the sinking of their ship and evade enemy capture in WWII 
   
   
   
  On the night of August 13, 1944, the U.S. submarine Flier struck a mine in the Sulu Sea in the southern Philippines as it steamed along the surface. All but fifteen of the more than eighty-strong crew went down with the vessel. Of those left floating in the dark, eight survived by swimming for seventeen hours before washing ashore on an uninhabited island. The story of the Flier and its eight survivors is wholly unique in the annals of U.S. military history. 
   
    
   
  Eight Survived tells the gripping story of the doomed submarine and its crew from its first patrol, during which it sank several enemy ships, to the explosion in the Sulu Sea. Drawing on interviews with the survivors and on a visit to the jungle where they washed ashore—where a cast of fascinating characters helped the U.S. sailors evade the Japanese—Douglas Campbell fully captures the combination of extraordinary courage and luck that marked one of the most heroic episodes of World War II.

  The Antichrist by Friedrich Nietzsche 
  What if everything you believed about morality, religion, and truth was built on a lie? 
  In The Antichrist, Friedrich Nietzsche unleashes a thunderous critique of Christianity and its moral foundations, challenging the pillars of Western thought with fiery precision. A cornerstone of his late philosophy, this work is both an assault on complacent belief systems and a bold declaration of the will to power, vitality, and individual greatness. 
  Nietzsche, a prophet of existentialism and iconoclasm, invites the listener to confront uncomfortable truths. Through razor-sharp aphorisms, he dissects the psychology of faith, the decay of values, and the rise of decadence disguised as virtue. In powerful passages, he exposes how pity can weaken the spirit, how priestly morality undermines life itself, and how the figure of Christ has been distorted into a symbol of weakness rather than strength. 
  Each chapter is a spark that ignites reflection, rebellion, or revelation—yet never leaves you indifferent. 
  More than a philosophical manifesto, The Antichrist remains a cultural lightning rod. Its bold vision continues to resonate in modern debates about freedom, authenticity, and the role of religion in human progress. For thinkers, seekers, and those who dare to question, this audiobook offers a direct channel to one of history’s most electrifying minds. 
  Narrated with the precision and poise of advanced AI voice technology, this edition ensures clarity, rhythm, and accessibility—ideal for absorbing Nietzsche’s provocative arguments while immersed in thought or motion. 
  Dare to confront the uncomfortable. Challenge the herd. Listen to The Antichrist and enter the mind of a philosopher who burned with the desire to awaken humanity from its moral slumber. 
  Experience it now—let the voice of Nietzsche echo through your mind.

  Self-Justification and Ego...

  This book bundle has two books in it. The topics are as follows: 
  - The Self-Serving Bias: At its core, the self-serving bias serves to protect and enhance self-esteem. By crediting successes to internal factors, individuals reinforce their belief in their own competence and abilities. This, in turn, boosts confidence and motivates continued effort. On the flip side, by attributing failures to external, uncontrollable factors such as bad luck, difficult circumstances, or the actions of others, individuals avoid the negative emotional consequences of failure. This creates a shield that protects one’s self-image, allowing a person to maintain a positive outlook even when things go wrong. 
  - The Slippery Slope Fallacy: Fallacies are errors in reasoning that undermine the logical validity of an argument. They often appear persuasive on the surface, yet, when examined closely, they reveal flaws that can mislead individuals or entire groups. In an increasingly complex world, recognizing these logical fallacies is crucial for navigating discussions, making informed decisions, and engaging in rational debate. The ability to identify fallacious reasoning helps individuals critically evaluate arguments and avoid being swayed by flawed logic. Among the various types of fallacies, the Slippery Slope fallacy is one of the most prevalent. It involves the assumption that a particular action will inevitably lead to extreme and undesirable consequences, often without sufficient evidence to support such a claim. This form of argument relies heavily on fear and exaggeration, suggesting that even a small step in a certain direction will set off a chain of events leading to catastrophic results. The Slippery Slope fallacy is commonly used in political, legal, and social debates, where the consequences of a decision or policy are often portrayed as extreme and far-reaching.
