    What if deception had a logic of its own? 
    In Sophist, Plato dares to tackle the concept of falsehood—not as error, but as something that seems to exist within language and thought. Through a dense but gripping dialogue between the Eleatic Stranger and Theaetetus, the discussion exposes the tricks of sophistry, the instability of language, and the paradox of how “what is not” can still be spoken of and understood. 
    This modernized audiobook delivers one of Plato’s most intellectually daring texts with clarity and precision. Perfect for thinkers, scholars, and seekers of truth. 
    What you’ll discover inside: 
    •	A bold philosophical exploration of non-being, falsehood, and the metaphysics of language 
    •	A deep critique of sophistry, appearance, and rhetorical manipulation 
    •	Plato’s method of division—used to isolate philosophical concepts with surgical accuracy 
    •	A readable, listener-friendly adaptation of one of Plato’s most abstract and influential works 
    If you want to unravel the logic behind illusion and sharpen your understanding of truth, Sophist is essential listening.

    Contrary to popular assumption, Arab women were instrumental in shaping world history. Between Rome’s intervention in the Arabian Peninsula and the Arab conquests, noblewomen ruled independently, conducting trade and making war. Their power was often celebrated as queen, priestess and goddess. With time they delegated power to the most important holy men of their age, influencing Arabian paganism, Christianity and Islam forever. 
    Empress Zenobia and queen Mavia supported bishops Paul of Samosata and Moses of Sinai. Paul was declared a heretic by the Roman church. Moses began the process of mass Arab conversion. The teachings of these men survived under their queens, setting in motion seismic debates that would fracture the early churches and lay the groundwork for the rise of Islam. In Mecca, lady Khadijah used her wealth and political influence to employ a younger man then marry him against the wishes of dissenting noblemen. Her husband, whose religious and political career was influenced by her, was the prophet Muhammad. 
    Long overdue, Queens and Prophets is a landmark exploration of the legacy of female power in late antique Arabia.

    Perhaps you have heard about Gilgamesh, or perhaps you know what he was but would like to know more about him. 
    Gilgamesh was an age-old Mesopotamian hero and the lead character of the Impressive of Gilgamesh, a legendary poem written in Akkadian throughout the late 2nd millennium BC. He could have been a posthumously deified historic emperor of the Sumerian city-state of Uruk. Despite the fact that he ended up being a crucial figure in Sumerian legend throughout the Third Dynasty of Ur (from 2112 to 2004 BC), his rule was more than likely throughout the start of the Early Dynastic Period (Mesopotamia) (henceforth ED), from 2900 to 2350 BC. 
    Gilgamesh's famous deeds are stated in 5 Sumerian poems that have endured. The earliest of these is most likely "Gilgamesh, Enkidu, and the Netherworld," in which Gilgamesh saves the goddess Inanna from the satanic forces that have plagued her huluppu tree. 
    These stories were later weaved into a meaningful story in Babylonian times.

    In a country of critics and where shouting and snarky tweets dominate public communication, neighborliness is in short supply.  Duct-tape Community - Hope for Neighborliness in an Unequal World finds it in the most unexpected places, from public housing janitors to farmers in overalls. Hope for better community can be found from the inspiring stories of the seemingly powerless and unknown. Duct-tape Community is a declaration that community takes two resolves: one to make the world a fairer place and a second to be neighborly in one that isn't.

    Love encompasses a range of strong and positive emotional and mental states, from the most sublime virtue or good habit, the deepest interpersonal affection, to the simplest pleasure. An example of this range of meanings is that the love of a mother differs from the love of a spouse, which differs from the love for food. Most commonly, love refers to a feeling of strong attraction and emotional attachment.
