  Embedded within military intelligence and communications, wartime cryptography was a man’s world filled with engineers, mathematicians, statisticians, military tacticians, political scientists, and linguists. But women working top-secret desk jobs played an integral role. They helped shorten the length of the war, saving countless lives in the process. 
  Bringing to light the quiet heroism of female code breakers of WWII, learn about these exceptional women who saved lives and changed the tide of the greatest war in human history. 
  Even as they applied themselves to complicated counterintelligence work and labored daily alongside their male colleagues, they fought an uphill battle on many different fronts, inside and outside the office. 
  Their stories and accomplishments have remained firmly under the radar—often missing from official documentation, history books, public lore, and public awareness. 
  The British feat of breaking the German Enigma code at Bletchley Park has been celebrated in popular culture in various books and movies, but the stories of many women who worked to break codes in the complex world of cryptography remain relatively untold. 
  Learn the true stories of female code breakers whose top-secret work helped win World War II, including: 
  ●      Elizebeth Friedman, Joan Clarke, Violet MacKenzie and other great minds working for the Allied forces from the US, UK and Australia—all trailblazers in the field of cryptography 
  ●      a simple rundown on cryptography as a science, the history of its use, and what it took to break wartime codes 
  ●      the legacy of these exceptional women, and the impact of their work. 
  Despite the constant need to prove themselves, these brilliant women never thought of themselves as heroes.

  Quirky, slapstick humor about two secondary characters appearing in Kashel Char’s New Beginnings Series. 
  ANDREW: 
  I’d dreamed of him again. Now, if I’d known that Juandre would haunt my thoughts day and night for the past ten years, I would never have had the man. I couldn’t dispute my incisors had prickled at the sexy Hispanic ever since he’d pulled over and smiled a cheeky smile at me. 
  As if I couldn’t already read into that, I knew what he would ask me even before he asked. The thing was, I had felt a little peckish and hoped a meal would stop and take me home with him for the night. Prolonging my hunger was never good. 
  He’ll be in his early thirties, and I’ll still look exactly like I did ten years ago. Will he even remember me? 
  This story contains explicit graphic depictions and crude language unsuitable for sensitive readers or young people under the age of eighteen.

  China and the 20th Century - The...

  In 1937, the fledgling Empire of Japan once more went to war with China, which by then had become a nation broken into petty warlord fiefdoms and wracked by civil war. The Japanese enacted a brutal campaign over the fragmented realms that made up China, committing atrocities just as horrendous as their Axis allies in Europe. Despite this, the sheer size of China, coupled with Japan’s overextension, allowed the larger, less developed nation to endure throughout World War II. 
  At the same time, China was experiencing an equally brutal civil war between Nationalist and Communist forces, which became inextricably intertwined with the fighting raging across the globe. In fact, the sheer scale of the horrors of the civil war remain hard to believe today, even as action in that theater is often overlooked because of events in Europe. What most people remember about the civil war is that it was ultimately won by Mao Zedong and the Communists, ushering in a new era of Communism in China and exiling the Republic of China’s government to Taiwan. Political tensions between Taiwan and China remain precarious to this day.  
  The Republic of China’s most famous leader and general was Chiang Kai-Shek, who rose from humble origins as the son of a local trader to become, as he liked to remind visitors, the ruler over more people than any other world leader. He certainly became one of the most influential leaders of the 20th century, yet today, he is considerably less well-known than many other figures from that period, which was so rife of chaos and tumultuous change. Chiang had come to power at a time when China was rebuilding itself after a period of internal conflict and turmoil, attempting to unify the nation in the face of the Japanese and the man who would become his arch-rival: Mao Zedong, leader of the Chinese Communists.  
  These ideological - and military - conflicts would decide the fate of Asia's biggest country going forward.

  In this 2025 Interview with Justine Willis Toms, Leffers explores consciousness through Spiral Dynamics reimagined as “facets” rather than hierarchy, from survival and belonging to care and authentic living, each with love-based gifts and fear-based shadows, and highlights practices like meditation to support this unfolding.

  Now available for the first time in audiobook format! Psychology as Religion: The Cult of Self-Worship, has been hailed by many as a “modern classic” among both secular and Christian thinkers alike. This work is a trenchant analysis of modern psychology—an enterprise that Paul Vitz maintains has become a religion, a secular cult of self, now part of the problem of modern life rather than part of its resolution. 
  
   
  This audiobook, which was created from the second edition of the original 1977 text, takes into account much of what has happened in the field of psychology up through its second publication in 1995. Two completely new chapters are also included—one on education and “values clarification”, and the other on New Age religion.
