  Educated is a powerful memoir that chronicles one woman’s journey from a secluded and survivalist upbringing in rural Idaho to earning a PhD from Cambridge University. Born into a family that rejects mainstream society, government, and formal education, the author grew up without a birth certificate, medical care, or schooling. Through remarkable perseverance, she embarks on a transformative journey, teaching herself enough to gain entry into college, where her life—and her mind—begin to open.
   
  As she encounters a world filled with history, philosophy, and scientific thought, she is forced to confront her family's values and the psychological grip they hold on her. Through profound resilience and self-discovery, the author forges a path of her own, embracing education as a vehicle for personal empowerment. Her story is not only an exploration of family and identity but also a testament to the liberating power of knowledge.
   
  This audiobook is perfect for listeners drawn to narratives of inner strength, those who have battled self-doubt, or anyone who has faced the need to break free from limiting beliefs. With a dynamic, motivational tone, Educated speaks to the transformative potential within all of us—the power to shape our destiny and pursue a life defined by our own values.

  Over the course of her sixty-five-year career, the longest of any female filmmaker, Agnès Varda (1928–2019) wrote and directed some of the most acclaimed films of her era, from her tour de force Cléo from 5 to 7 (1962), a classic of modernist cinema, to the beloved documentary The Gleaners and I (2000) four decades later. She helped to define the French New Wave, inspired an entire generation of filmmakers, and was recognized with major awards at the Cannes, Berlin, and Venice Film Festivals, as well as an honorary Oscar at the Academy Awards. 
   
   
   
  In this lively biography, Carrie Rickey explores the "complicated passions" that informed Varda's charmed life and indelible work. Rickey traces Varda's three remarkable careers—as still photographer, as filmmaker, and as installation artist. She explains how Varda was a pioneer in blurring the lines between documentary and fiction, using the latest digital technology and carving a path for women in the movie industry. She demonstrates how Varda was years ahead of her time in addressing sexism, abortion, labor exploitation, immigrant rights, and race relations with candor and incisiveness. And she delves into Varda's incredibly rich social life with figures such as Harrison Ford, Jean-Luc Godard, Jim Morrison, Susan Sontag, and Andy Warhol, and her nearly forty-year marriage to the celebrated director Jacques Demy.

  My Secret Life Vol 7 Chapter 7

  My Secret Life is an anonymously penned memoir written during a period from the 1840s to the 1880s by a wealthy and sex obsessed English gentleman who refers to himself simply as ‘Walter’. Part confessional, part investigative erotic journalism, it meticulously documents every detail of the author’s prolific sexual encounters, offering us in the process an eye and thigh opening account of life behind closed doors in the Victorian age.
  
  Women, in both mind and body, were the all consuming object of Walter’s interest. From early youth through to old age his quest for erotic discovery and adventure with them was never diminished.
  
  Unlike contemporary 19th century erotic texts, such as The Pearl, whose sole object was to titillate, Walter’s interest in his subjects did not end with the extinguishing of the carnal flame. His hunger to understand the circumstances and minds of the women he encountered is never upstaged by the sex. Their potted life histories, their most intimate desires and acts were shared with him and in turn meticulously recorded by him, written down verbatim while still fresh in his mind.
  
  The resulting poignant record of a lost era and the intimate moments of the women who inhabited it offer us a remarkable insight into the 19th century that cannot be gleaned from any other source.
  
  The complete unabridged text is being released as a fully scored audiofilm (an audio book with accompanying music soundtrack) by film composer Dominic Crawford Collins.
