  The Principles of Communism by Friedrich Engels is a foundational political text that outlines the core tenets of communism in a concise and accessible format. Written in 1847 as a preparatory document for the Communist League, the book is structured as a series of questions and answers, making it straightforward for readers to grasp. Engels explores key concepts such as the historical development of class struggles, the rise of capitalism, the exploitation of the working class, and the necessity of a proletarian revolution. He advocates for the abolition of private property, the establishment of collective ownership of the means of production, and the eventual creation of a classless, stateless society. Serving as a precursor to *The Communist Manifesto*, this work provides invaluable insights into the ideological foundations of Marxist theory and remains an important text in the history of socialist thought.

  Read the only book containing an appendix of eye losses, makes reference to hand gel depicting a gay assassin, and to compare a group of all-women Japanese comic book artists to a German electronic band. 
  In early 2020, Ian Wolf - manga critic in print and online, autistic comedic data specialist, and some time question writer for Richard Osman's House of Games - decided that the best way to keep himself occupied while Britain was in Covid lockdown was to write a humorous book about his favorite manga artists - CLAMP... the women behind such works as Cardcaptor Sakura, xxxHOLiC, X and Magic Knight Rayearth. 
  If you want to find out why the cases of the CLAMP School Detectives sound like challenges from Taskmaster, why almost everything in Magic Knight Rayearth is named after a car, why the British Museum illustrated their manga exhibit using the soft-core lesbian manga Miyuki-chan in Wonderland, or why the Cardcaptor Sakura Kinomoto's best friend has more than a whiff of The Fast Show's 13th Duke of Wybourne about her, this is the book for you.

  The dramatic story of one of the most violent episodes of the civil rights movement and its role in the ongoing reckoning with racial injustice in the United States. 
   
   
   
  On Tuesday, June 9, 1964, police attacked more than 600 Black men, women, and children inside First African Baptist Church (Tuscaloosa, Alabama), where Reverend Martin Luther King had launched the Tuscaloosa campaign for integration three months earlier. As the group gathered to march, they faced over seventy law enforcement officers and hundreds more deputized white citizens and Klansmen eager to end their protests for good. Police smashed the historic church's stained-glass windows with water hoses and fired rounds of tear gas inside. As demonstrators streamed from the church, many choking and soaked, they beat them with nightsticks, cattle prods, and axe handles, arrested nearly a hundred, and sent over thirty to the hospital. Here this event is recounted through the eyes of locals—a charismatic Black preacher trained by Rev. King, an aging police chief, the Imperial Wizard of the Ku Klux Klan, and Black women who were the backbone of the protests. 
   
   
   
  In Bloody Tuesday, John Giggie powerfully recovers one of the last great untold stories of the civil rights movement and its role in the reckoning with America's ongoing struggle for racial justice.

  Why do you immediately click with some people while others just as inexplicably turn you off? Do people emit vibes? Is it possible to read a room? Are bad habits contagious?Kate Murphy,  author of the international bestseller You’re Not Listening, answers these and other fascinating questions in Why We Click, the first book that explores the emerging science and outsize impact of interpersonal synchrony, the most consequential social dynamic most people have never heard of. Interpersonal synchrony is the seemingly magical, yet now scientifically documented, tendency of human beings to fall into rhythm and find resonance with one another.Not only do we subconsciously match one another’s movements, postures, facial expressions, and gestures; recent breakthroughs in technology have revealed we also sync up our heart rates, blood pressure, brainwaves, pupil dilation, and hormonal activity. The result is that emotions, moods, attitudes, and subsequent behaviors can be as infectious as any disease, and can have just as profound an impact on our health and well-being.Interweaving science, philosophy, literature, history, business management theory, pop-culture, and plenty of relatable, real world examples, Why We Click explains why being “in sync,” “in tune,” “in step,” and “on the same wavelength” are more than just turns of phrase. From the bedroom to the boardroom and beyond, Murphy reveals with characteristic curiosity, concision, and wit how our instinct to sync with others drives much of our behavior and how our deepest desires—to be known, admired, loved, and connected—are so often thwarted in modern life.

  Moving Into the Unknown - The...

  Osho

  The Sutra of 42 Chapters is a scripture complied in the first century CE.  Each saying comes from Buddha, but the whole work was a new anthology created especially for introducing Buddhism in a new country. That's why it makes such a good, basic introduction to the world view of Gautam Buddha. 
  It is very simple in its approach, very direct. It is, in essence the whole of Buddha's message, but very simple, not elaborate and very scholarly as other Buddhist scriptures are.
  Osho extracts the kernel of Buddha's profound insight and understanding and presents his everlasting message to the contemporary listener in a manner that is lucid, straightforward and humorous. Far from being just a statue, here Buddha is an amazing human being so far ahead of his time that even now he is only just beginning to be more widely understood.
  In these talks Osho discusses the need for doubt and argument in the spiritual search, the nature of desire and the discipline of non-attachment.
  The talks in this audiobook are a series of original OSHO Talks, titled "The Discipline of Transcendence, Vol.2".
