Sinopsis

Fanny Fern's 'Ginger-Snaps' is a pioneering collection of essays that offers a window into the social and domestic life of 19th-century America, particularly from a woman's perspective. Through her sharp wit and engaging prose, Fern critiques societal norms, gender roles, and the expectations placed on women, all while employing a candid and conversational style that resonates with contemporary readers. Her work reflects the burgeoning feminist consciousness of her time, engaging with themes of independence, motherhood, and the contradictions inherent in the pursuit of happiness. The essays, infused with humor and poignant observation, create a vibrant portrait of an era undergoing significant transformation. Fanny Fern, born Sara Willis, emerged as one of the first female columnists in America, using her platform to advocate for women'Äôs rights and reveal the struggles they faced. A widow and single mother, her personal experiences shaped her writing, imbuing it with authenticity and passion. Fern's early struggles for recognition in a male-dominated literary world and her rise as a prominent figure in the literary establishment offer context to her incisive commentary on society and gender. Readers seeking a profound yet accessible exploration of women's experiences in the 19th century will find 'Ginger-Snaps' both enlightening and empowering. Fern'Äôs timeless insights into societal expectations and her unapologetic voice create a compelling narrative that remains relevant today. This collection is essential for anyone interested in feminist literature, American social history, or the evolution of public discourse.

    The New World Order – H.G. Wells. One of the central texts in explaining the psychopathic drive of elitists to enslave the world in a unified empire. H. G. Wells was an insider with a British group tasked with the revival of their once great empire—this time in conjunction with Venetian Black Nobility Khazar bankers (not mentioned this explicitly in the book). Wells evidently grew less sympathetic to their aims as time went on, and published a version of the plans for public consumption in this and other books. Needless to say, the cabal bent on world domination were displeased with Wells’ cavalier candor (perhaps they misjudged him all along), and destroyed nearly all such books.

    If you experienced emotional trauma in childhood—neglect, parentification, physical or sexual abuse, or unhealthy family dynamics—your core wounds may be deep or even hidden. You may struggle with relationships, or feel like you just don't belong. And if you've sought refuge as a spiritual seeker, you may feel alienated by the dogmatic and inevitably shallow "love and light" spirituality scene that can often bypass real struggles of mental health, trauma, and loss. It's time for an in-depth approach to healing. 
     
    Ora North will lead you on a journey to uncover and better understand your shadow self, allowing you to integrate unconscious aspects of yourself, shore up repressed emotions, and tap into the self-awareness necessary to heal core wounds. You'll explore nine archetypes of the self, including the shadow self, the higher self, the wounded self, the creative self, and more. And finally, you'll discover strategies to help you continue this journey on your own, such as tapping into your intuition, energy work, inner child healing, and boundary setting. If you're seeking lasting change in your life, this book goes beyond the toxic positivity and "good vibes" only aspects of popular spirituality to help you heal the emotional wounds at your very core—allowing you to fully understand who you are, and feel truly connected with the world around you.

    NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER! 
    “Savagery appeased can only grow. Once you give in to it, it must escalate, like a fire searching for air.” 
    The man who won the Pulitzer Prize for GLENGARRY GLEN ROSS, who wrote the classic films THE VERDICT and WAG THE DOG sounds his alarm about the Visigoths at our gates. 
    In RECESSIONAL he calls out, skewers, mocks, and, most importantly, dissects the virus of conformity which is now an existential threat to the West. 
    A broad-ranging journey through history, the Bible, and literature, RECESSIONAL examines how politics and cultural attitudes about rebellion have shifted in the United States in the last generation. By screaming down freedom of thought and expression, Mamet explains, we kill invention and democracy – the foundations of security and growth. 
    A wickedly funny, wistful and wry appeal to the free-thinking citizen, RECESSIONAL is a vital warning that if we don’t confront the cultural thuggery now, the commissars and their dupes will transform the Land of the Free into the dictatorship at which they aim.

    Food is more than just nutrition. Its preparation, presentation and consumption is a multifold communicative practice which includes the meal's design and its whole field of experience. How is food represented in cookbooks, product packaging or in paintings? How is dining semantically charged? How is the sensuality of eating treated in different cultural contexts? In order to acknowledge the material and media-related aspects of eating as a cultural praxis, experts from media studies, art history, literary studies, philosophy, experimental psychology, anthropology, food studies, cultural studies and design studies share their specific approaches.

    This program is read by read by Sura Siu with an exclusive note written and read by the author.One of TIME and Oprah Daily's Most Anticipated Books of 2025“Siu's measured, compassionate delivery honors Nguyen's story, which balances the raw emotion of trauma with the strength of survival.”—AudioFile"Amanda’s story—innovatively told by versions of herself at different ages—underscores the lasting power of speaking your truth, building a movement, and never losing sight of your dreams.” —Melinda French Gates"In Saving Five, Amanda Nguyen shows us how to reclaim the full spectrum of our lives, replete with pain, fury, creativity, and recovered dreams.” —Chanel Miller, author of Know My NameA brave and imaginative memoir by the Nobel Peace Prize nominee Amanda Nguyen, detailing her healing journey and groundbreaking activism in the aftermath of her rape at Harvard.In 2013, the trajectory of Amanda Nguyen’s life was changed forever when she was raped at Harvard.Determined to not let her assault derail her goal of joining NASA after graduation, Nguyen opted for her rape kit to be filed under “Jane Doe.” But she was shocked to learn her choice to stay anonymous gave her only six months to take action before the state destroyed her kit, rendering any future legal action impossible. Nguyen knew then that she had two options: surrender to a law that effectively denied her justice, or fight for a change—not only for herself but for survivors everywhere.A heart-wrenching memoir of survival and hope, Saving Five boldly braids the story of Nguyen’s activism—which resulted in Congress’s unanimous passage of the Sexual Assault Survivors’ Rights Act in 2016—with a second, beautifully imagined adventure, of Nguyen's younger selves as they—at ages five, fifteen, twenty-two, and thirty—navigate through dramatic incarnations of the emotional stages of her path toward healing, not only from her rape but from the violent turmoil of her childhood. The result is a groundbreaking work that seamlessly blends memoir with a moving journey toward acceptance and hope, forging a path ahead that is as inspiring as it is instructive.From one of the most influential activists (and now astronauts) of her time, Saving Five is at once a tribute to resilience, a celebration of healing through action, and a resounding cry to change the world. A Macmillan Audio production from AUWA Books.
