  Aphrodite: Captivating Greek...

  Did you know that Aphrodite, the goddess of love and beauty, was also associated with the sea? 
  Born from a strange mixture of divine blood, severed genitals, and seafoam, Aphrodite washed up on the shores of Cyprus long before the emergence of her fellow Olympians. A figure who is as petty as she is relatable, she is not only a key deity of the Greek pantheon, but she is also a central figure in many of the myths we know and love today. 
  With influences possibly rooted in the goddesses Ishtar and Astarte, there are scholars who believe that the concept of Aphrodite was imported to Greece from the Middle East or West Asia. Contact between cultures might have led to her incorporation into the main Greek pantheon, with her foreign origins explaining some of the regional differences regarding her birth and personality. While her connections to beauty and love are her most well-known attributes, places like Sparta and Cyprus also viewed her as a war goddess. 
  This audiobook focuses on myths that are either centered around Aphrodite or feature her as an important character. Because of her volatile nature and quick temper, Aphrodite could just as often be a force for good as she could be a force for evil. While it would be impossible to gather all the different stories related to Aphrodite in their entirety in one collection, this audiobook provides a nice, if somewhat modest, the assortment of narratives that display different facets of this fascinatingly complex goddess. 
  Some of the myths you’ll discover in this audiobook are:Aphrodite’s birth and unexpected marriageThe life and death of AdonisHow Psyche and Eros’ love defied divine wrathPygmalion’s arrogance and his unusual mistressThe beginnings of the greatest war ever fought

  The '91 Louisiana Governor's race was supposed to be forgettable. But when former KKK Grand Wizard David Duke shocked the nation by ousting incumbent Republican Governor Buddy Roemer in the primary, the world took notice. Democrat Edwin Edwards, a former three-term governor and two-time corruption defendant, was left alone to face Duke in the general election—and he was going to lose. 
   
   
   
  Then a little-known state committeewoman stepped in with evidence of Duke's nefarious past. Could her evidence be enough to sway the minds of fired-up voters, or would Louisiana welcome a far-right radical into the highest office in the state? 
   
   
   
  Journalist Brian Fairbanks explores how the final showdown between Duke and Edwards in November 1991 led to a major shift in our national politics, as well as the rise of the radical right and white supremacist groups, and how history repeated itself in the 2016 presidential election. The story of these political "wizards," almost forgotten by history, remains eerily prescient and disturbingly relevant.

The echoes of their spankings lingered through the years, some returning willingly, others at the insistence of their husbands. 
  Aunty Mae's penchant for punishment took an unexpected turn in 1962 when she found herself offering advice as an agony aunt for the local church paper. Her columns, laden with the wisdom of a disciplinarian, skyrocketed in popularity. Aunty Mae's notoriety spread beyond Upper Middleton, as she fearlessly recommended spankings for the undisciplined, both young and old.

  Everyday Jews: Why The Jewish...

  Can Jews be allowed to become boring? 
   
  With Israel and antisemitism constantly in the news, it seems as though the Jewish people - a fraction of a percentage of the world's population - have become synonymous with controversy, drama and anxiety. But what if there was another side to this persistently interesting people; one that non-Jews often don't know about and Jews rarely talk about? This is the stuff of 'everyday' Jewishness; the capacity to be ordinary, mundane and sometimes just plain dull. 
   
  Keith Kahn-Harris lifts the lid on this surprising world in a book for Jews and non-Jews alike. Arguing that his people's extraordinary public visibility today is harming their ability to live everyday Jewish lives, he celebrates the mundanity and mediocrity of a people before it vanishes completely.
