  Starved for Light - The Long...

  A wide-ranging history of rickets tracks the disease’s emergence, evolution, and eventual treatment—and exposes the backstory behind contemporary worries about vitamin D deficiency. Rickets, a childhood disorder that causes soft and misshapen bones, transformed from an ancient but infrequent threat to a common scourge during the Industrial Revolution. Factories, mills, and urban growth transformed the landscape. Malnutrition and insufficient exposure to sunlight led to severe cases of rickets across Europe and the United States, affecting children in a variety of settings: dim British cities and American slave labor camps, moneyed households and impoverished ones. By the late 1800s, it was one of the most common pediatric diseases, seemingly an intractable consequence of modern life. Starved for Light offers the first comprehensive history of this disorder. Tracing the efforts to understand, prevent, and treat rickets—first with the traditional remedy of cod liver oil, then with the application of a breakthrough corrective, industrially produced vitamin D supplements—Christian Warren places the disease at the center of a riveting medical history, one alert to the ways society shapes our views on illness. 
   
  
  Sweeping and engaging, Starved for Light illuminates the social conditions underpinning our cures and our choices, helping us to see history’s echoes in contemporary prescriptions.

  The Narcissistic Relationship...

  This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.   
  If you’ve ever wondered how a relationship that once felt so right turned into something so painful, we have something in common. 
  I know the cycle intimately—the intense highs, the soul-crushing lows, the confusion that makes you question your own sanity. I lived it for over a decade. What started as love became fear, control, and emotional destruction. It wasn’t always obvious; it crept in. 
  This book walks you through the six stages of a narcissistic relationship — from idealization to discard and hoovering — with compassion, clarity, and lived experience. You’ll learn what these patterns look like, why they’re so hard to escape, and most importantly, that you’re not crazy, and you’re not alone. 
  This isn’t theory — it’s survival turned insight. 
  This audiobook is also the first in a full series exploring the hidden pain points of being with a narcissist — gaslighting, triangulation, comparison, self-blame, obsession, and letting go. Each one is designed to meet you where you are and gently walk you toward truth, validation, and emotional freedom. 
  Whether you’re still in the relationship, just out, or still aching from the aftermath, I hope these words bring comfort — and a few of those powerful “oh my god, it wasn’t just me” moments. 
  You deserve peace. Maybe this is the starting point.

  The Shocking Truth about...

  Zoey Fraisers

  Economic inequality is one of the most pressing issues of our time. While some individuals amass enormous wealth, millions struggle to afford basic necessities. The gap between the rich and the poor has widened significantly over the past few decades, raising concerns about fairness, economic stability, and the future of society. This growing divide affects nearly every aspect of life, from access to education and healthcare to political representation and social mobility. Understanding the causes and consequences of economic inequality is essential to addressing the challenges it presents.  
    
  Historically, economic disparities have existed in every civilization, but modern inequality has taken on new dimensions. The rise of globalization, rapid technological advancements, and financial deregulation have contributed to an economic system that disproportionately benefits the wealthy. While free markets have driven innovation and lifted millions out of poverty, they have also concentrated wealth and power in the hands of a few. In many countries, the middle class—once the backbone of economic stability—has eroded, leaving a stark contrast between the privileged elite and those struggling to keep up.  
  Government policies play a crucial role in shaping economic inequality. Tax structures, labor laws, and social welfare programs determine how wealth is distributed within a society. In some cases, policies favor large corporations and high-income individuals, exacerbating disparities. Meanwhile, stagnant wages, the decline of labor unions, and rising costs of living make it increasingly difficult for working-class families to get ahead. The debate over economic inequality is not just about wealth but about opportunity. When financial barriers prevent people from accessing quality education, healthcare, and stable employment, economic mobility declines, reinforcing cycles of poverty.

  These pieces on Eastern methods of inner training and realisation are not intended as theoretical instruction or entertainment. They all point to actual practice in life and hint at deeper practice. 
  The title of the book Jewels from the Indra Net refers to the fabled net of the god Indra of which the strands have a jewel of truth at each junction. The jewels reflect each other so that each one has deeper and deeper meanings in it. 
  The pieces are from a variety of traditions, some of them being based on original translations of little known Sanskrit or Japanese texts. Others come from observation or personal experience and hopefully will reflect to the reader some further gleams from the Indra Net. 
  The fundamental training is mind control and meditation which in the end have to become one pointed. Allusions to them will be found in several places and will be recognised by those who are approaching that level. Some longer pieces have been put at the beginning to give a survey of some main points.
