  The Conference of the Birds or Speech of the Birds is a Persian poem by Sufi poet Farid ud-Din Attar, commonly known as Attar of Nishapur. The title is taken directly from the Qur'an, 27:16, where Sulayman and Dāwūd are said to have been taught the language, or speech, of the birds. 
  In the poem, the birds of the world gather to decide who is to be their sovereign, as they have none. The hoopoe, the wisest of them all, suggests that they should find the legendary Simorgh. The hoopoe leads the birds, each of whom represents a human fault which prevents humankind from attaining enlightenment.

  [How to Be Calm] delves into the subtle art of finding peace in a world that never stops moving. Through intimate prose that reads like a conversation with a close friend, this guide illuminates the spaces between breaths, the moments between thoughts, where true tranquility resides. Unlike conventional self-help books that prescribe rigid routines, this work weaves together practical wisdom with poetic insight, showing how calmness isn't something to achieve but rather a natural state to remember. Drawing from both ancient wisdom and modern neuroscience, it explores how our relationship with silence, solitude, and simplicity shapes our capacity for peace. The book's unique approach lies in its recognition that calmness isn't the absence of chaos but the ability to find stillness within it, teaching readers how to navigate life's complexities with grace and presence. Through chapters that flow like gentle streams of consciousness, readers discover that the path to tranquility isn't about adding more techniques to their lives, but about remembering their innate capacity for peace.

  "The Qin Dynasty: A History of China" takes you on a journey through one of the most dramatic chapters in Chinese history. From the unification of the warring states to the iron rule of Qin Shi Huang, this book dives deep into the empire that set the foundation for China's future. The First Emperor built a centralized government, enforced strict laws, and undertook grand projects like the Great Wall and his massive underground mausoleum. But his rule was also marked by fear—the infamous Burning of Books and Burying of Scholars, heavy taxation, and forced labor that pushed people to their limits. When Qin Shi Huang passed away, his successors struggled to hold the empire together, and cracks began to show. 
  As unrest spread, a single spark ignited a rebellion that would shake the empire to its core. Chen Sheng and Wu Guang, two common soldiers, defied orders and rose up, setting off a wave of uprisings across the land. The once-unbreakable Qin Dynasty faced challenge after challenge, as ambitious warlords seized the opportunity to fight for power. Among them, two figures stood out—Liu Bang, a clever and adaptable leader with a commoner's background, and Xiang Yu, a fearsome warrior whose strength was unmatched. Their rivalry would turn into a fierce battle for control over China, each determined to claim victory in their own way. 
  Through shifting alliances, brilliant strategies, and brutal clashes, the struggle between these two giants shaped the fate of an empire. As cities fell and armies clashed, their contrasting styles of leadership and personal ambitions drove them toward an inevitable showdown. Would brute force or cunning strategy decide the future of China? As tensions rose, betrayal lurked in the shadows, and the tide of war could change in an instant.
