The fourth Tudor to rule England, Mary is remembered for burning around three hundred Protestants at the stake on her quest for religious reform. 
    In this book, we will discover the true-life story of Mary I—the infamous English queen who claimed her place in history after a mere five years as regent.

Three hours later, the ordinary man leaves with three phone numbers—including the woman the handsome man spent all night chasing. What does he know that nobody ever taught you? This transformative audiobook reveals the ancient art of magnetic attraction, seduction psychology, and unshakable confidence that has nothing to do with looks, money, or status.

Drawing on timeless principles used by history's greatest seducers, courtesans, and charismatic figures, this practical guide breaks down the silent language of desire, the psychology of magnetism, and the real source of confidence that faking has never delivered.

  • Journey without End - Migration from the Global South through the Americas - cover

    Journey without End - Migration...

    Journey without End chronicles the years-long journey of "extracontinentales"—African and South Asian migrants moving through Latin America, toward the United States. Based on five years of collaborative research between a journalist and an anthropologist, this book makes a narrative-driven critique of how state-level immigration policy fails extracontinental migrants. 
     
     
     
    The book begins with Kidane, an Eritrean migrant who has left his pregnant wife behind to make the four-year trip to North America; it then picks up the natural disaster–riddled voyage of Roshan and Kamala Dhakal from Nepal, to Ecuador; and it continues to the trials of Cameroonian exile Jane Mtebe, who becomes trapped in a bizarre beachside resort town on the edge of the Darién Gap—the gateway from South to Central America. 
     
     
     
    This book follows these migrants as their fitful voyages put them in a semi-permanent state of legal and existential liminality. Mercurial policy creates profit opportunities that transform migration bottlenecks—Quito's tourist district, a Colombian beachside resort, Panama's Darién Gap, and a Mexican border town—into spontaneous migration-oriented spaces rife with racial, gender, and class exploitation. Throughout this struggle, migrant solidarity allows for occasional glimpses of subaltern cosmopolitanism and the possibility of mobile futures.
