    Written by a Roman emperor at the height of his power, Meditations is one of the most profound and enduring works of philosophy ever composed. In this series of deeply personal reflections, Marcus Aurelius — the last of the Five Good Emperors — examines the nature of virtue, resilience, mortality, and the importance of living in accordance with reason. 
    Originally intended as private notes to himself, Meditations offers timeless insights into Stoic philosophy and the challenges of ethical leadership. With clarity, humility, and strength, Aurelius contemplates the impermanence of life, the futility of anger, and the power of self-discipline. 
    This unabridged audiobook draws from public domain translations of Meditations, presenting Aurelius’s wisdom in accessible language while preserving the spiritual gravity and moral purpose that have inspired readers for centuries. Essential listening for anyone seeking inner peace, strength, and a guide for living well in a chaotic world.

    An estimated four hundred gold records have been recorded in the Muscle Shoals area. Many of those are thanks to Muscle Shoals Sound Studio and the Muscle Shoals Rhythm Section, dubbed "the Swampers." 
     
     
     
    Some of the greatest names in rock, R&B and blues laid tracks in the original, iconic concrete-block building—the likes of Cher, Lynyrd Skynyrd, the Rolling Stones, and the Black Keys. The National Register of Historic Places now recognizes that building, where Lynyrd Skynyrd recorded the original version of "Free Bird" and the Rolling Stones wrote "Brown Sugar" and "Wild Horses." By combing through decades of articles and music reviews related to Muscle Shoals Sound, music writer Carla Jean Whitley reconstructs the fascinating history of how the Alabama studio created a sound that reverberates across generations.

    The Politics of Mass Violence in...

    The Middle East today is characterized by an astonishingly bloody civil war in Syria, a highly racialized and militarized approach to the concept of a Jewish state in Israel and the Palestinian territories, an Iraqi state paralyzed by the emergence of class- and region-inflected sectarian identifications, a Lebanon teetering on the edge of collapse from the pressures of its huge numbers of refugees and its sect-bound political system, and the rise of a wide variety of Islamist paramilitary organizations seeking to operate outside all these states. 
     
     
     
    The region's emergence as a "zone of violence," characterized by a viciously dystopian politics of identity, is a relatively recent phenomenon, developing only over the past century; but despite these shallow historical roots, the mass violence and dispossession now characterizing Syria, Lebanon, Israel/Palestine, and Iraq have emerged as some of the twenty-first century's most intractable problems. In this study, Laura Robson uses a framework of mass violence—encompassing the concepts of genocide, ethnic cleansing, forced migration, appropriation of resources, mass deportation, and forcible denationalization—to explain the emergence of a dystopian politics of identity across the Eastern Mediterranean in the modern era and to illuminate the contemporary breakdown of the state from Syria to Iraq to Israel.
