  We broke our new series on learning Korean down into different learning stages. Start with the "Lower Beginner" books followed by the "Beginner" and "Upper Beginner" books. Next, progress to the "Intermediate" series, then test and reinforce your knowledge with the "Conversations" series. 
  This audiobook is divided into units.While it provides different learning patterns and accommodates various needs, this audiobook focuses on helping you improve your ability to understand, speak, and memorise Korean. 
  In Unit 1 you will hear Korean decoded with each syllable spoken very slowly and clearly with repetition. Immediately before each sentence is spoken, you will hear the translation, so you will always understand what is being said. 
  Unit 2 focuses solely on increasing your listening ability, which will improve your abilities to engage in dialogue with a native Korean speaker. This chapter requires you to listen very carefully to nuances in the language. 
  By Unit 3 you will already notice progress in your abilities to speak and understand Korean. The spoken translation is followed by two repetitions in Korean at a completely natural speed. While you are learning to process naturally spoken Korean, Units 3 and 4 will help you memorise new vocabulary and full sentences. 
  In Unit 5 you can test yourself on how much you have learned. If you are having difficulties, we suggest you revisit the listening, speaking, or memorisation section of Units 1, 2 3 or 4, according to what you need more help with.

  Stoicism - Finding Strength in...

  Stoicism is an ancient Greek philosophy that teaches how to live a good life, one filled with virtue, wisdom, and tranquility. Founded by Zeno of Citium in the early 3rd century BCE, Stoicism is built on the idea that the key to happiness and fulfillment lies not in external circumstances, but in how we choose to respond to them. The philosophy emphasizes the development of self-control, rational thought, and resilience in the face of adversity. While it originated in ancient Greece, Stoicism has influenced many philosophers and continues to resonate with modern thinkers, offering practical tools for navigating life’s challenges. 
  At the core of Stoicism is the belief in distinguishing between what we can control and what we cannot. According to Stoic principles, we cannot control external events, but we can control our responses to them. This idea, known as the Dichotomy of Control, encourages individuals to focus on their actions, thoughts, and emotions rather than worrying about things beyond their influence. This shift in perspective can lead to greater peace of mind and less suffering, as it frees us from the emotional turmoil of trying to change the uncontrollable. 
  Stoicism is often associated with a few key figures, including Epictetus, Seneca, and Marcus Aurelius. Each of these philosophers contributed their own insights into the practice of Stoicism, emphasizing different aspects of the philosophy. Epictetus, for example, taught that true freedom comes from mastering our internal world, while Seneca focused on the importance of reflection and mindfulness in everyday life. Marcus Aurelius, a Roman emperor, applied Stoic principles to leadership and the challenges of ruling an empire, demonstrating how Stoicism can be practiced by anyone, no matter their role in society.

  Stalking the Atomic City - Life...

  Since the Chornobyl nuclear disaster in April 1986, the area remains a toxic, forbidden wasteland. The zone has become a place for meditation at the edge of geography where you can lose yourself. As with all dangerous places, this terra incognita attracts a wild assortment of adventurers who climb over the barbed wire illegally to witness the aftermath of catastrophe in the flesh. Breaking the law here is a pilgrimage: a metamodern sacred experience that coexists with thrash. 
   
   
   
  Markiyan Kamysh, whose father worked as an on-site disaster liquidator of Chornobyl, works as a "stalker," guiding people who dare to venture into the disaster area for thrills. Kamysh tells us about thieves who hide in the abandoned buildings, the policemen who chase them, and the romantic utopists who have built families here, even as deadly toxic waste lingers in the buildings, playgrounds, and streams. 
   
   
   
  More than extraordinary guide to this alien world, Kamysh writes with a singular style that is both brash and bold, conferring an understated elegance to this dystopian reality. Stalking the Atomic City is a haunting account of what total autonomy could mean in our growingly fractured world.

  Islamic Golden Age - A History...

  The Islamic Golden Age, a period marked by extraordinary cultural, economic, and scientific prosperity, spanned roughly from the 8th to the 14th century. This era is often considered to have begun during the reign of the Abbasid caliph Harun al-Rashid (786–809), particularly with the establishment of the House of Wisdom in Baghdad. At this time, Baghdad was the world's largest city, serving as the epicenter of intellectual activity. The House of Wisdom became a hub for scholars and polymaths from a diverse range of backgrounds who were tasked with gathering, translating, and preserving the classical knowledge of the ancient world. Key works from Greek, Syriac, Middle Persian, and Sanskrit texts were translated into Arabic and Syriac, with some later making their way into Latin and Hebrew. This immense intellectual undertaking played a significant role in preserving and expanding upon the knowledge that would later form the foundation of the Renaissance in Europe. 
  The decline of the Abbasid caliphate, culminating in the Mongol invasions and the Siege of Baghdad in 1258, is commonly regarded as marking the end of this flourishing period. However, the exact timeline of the Golden Age’s conclusion is debated among scholars. Some place the end around 1350, coinciding with the Timurid Renaissance, while others extend it until the 15th or even the 16th century, linking it with the rise of the Islamic Gunpowder Empires. 
  One of the driving forces behind the Islamic Golden Age was the emphasis placed on learning within Islamic teachings. The Quran and Hadiths, which contain numerous references to the pursuit of knowledge, were fundamental in motivating Muslims during this period to engage in scientific, philosophical, and literary endeavors.
