Summary

“In this incredibly courageous expose,” Vietnam veterans discuss the long-lasting effects of PTSD and their strategies for coping (Publishers Weekly). Though much has been written about the short-term experience of combat trauma, very few resources discuss how that trauma continues to impact individuals into later life. In this volume, retired Army Chaplain James D. Johnson relates how fifteen Vietnam veterans have been affected by the terror they experienced four decades ago, and how it continues to affect them today.   With candor and vivid detail, they reveal how their combat trauma symptoms still infect their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors on a daily basis. Their stories offer valuable insight for today’s soldiers returning from battle, as well as for their loved ones. The experiences shared here can help them address and cope with the ongoing challenges of PTSD.   Those who still carry these wounds will find that they are not alone, and that there are ways of dealing with the horror, no matter how long ago it took place.

    What if reality itself is a union? 
    Not a division between spirit and matter… 
    but a dance between consciousness and energy. 
    In Shiva and Shakti, Dr Bhaskar Bora takes you into the heart of Tantra—not as myth, not as sensationalism, but as one of the most profound philosophical and spiritual systems ever developed. 
    At its core lies a simple yet revolutionary vision: 
    Shiva is consciousness. 
    Shakti is energy. 
    And all of existence is their union. 
    Drawing from classical Tantric texts, Shaiva and Shakta traditions, and centuries of philosophical insight, this book explores: 
    • What Tantra really is (beyond myths and misconceptions) 
    • The true meaning of Shiva and Shakti 
    • The role of the body, energy, and consciousness in spiritual practice 
    • The rise and evolution of Tantra across Indian history 
    • The sacred feminine and the power of Shakti 
    • The relationship between Tantra, Vedanta, Yoga, and other darshanas 
    • The deeper symbolism behind rituals, mantras, and kundalini 
    This is not a superficial introduction. 
    It is a deep, reflective, and intellectually grounded exploration—written for those who want to understand Tantra as a living philosophy, not a distorted stereotype. 
    Whether you are: 
    • A student of Hindu philosophy 
    • A seeker exploring consciousness and spirituality 
    • A reader curious about Tantra beyond popular myths 
    • Or someone drawn to the deeper meaning of Shiva and Shakti 
    this book offers a powerful new lens. 
    Tantra does not reject the world. 
    It reveals it as sacred. 
    And in that revelation, it asks a profound question: 
    What if everything you experience is already divine?

    The Babysitter’s Vampire Night: 
    Setting up a babysitter service is a way for Harvey to make some money, but a call coming in when no one is available leaves him with little choice but to take the job himself. The house he arrives at is no different from the others on a quiet street, but he enters to find out there’s no child. The occupant then reveals his real reason for making the call. A vampire with a babysitter fetish seems insane, but Harvey gives in to a torrid encounter with Mr. Doyle to find out just how sexy a vampire can be. 
    Wild Werewolf on the Prairie: 
    A successful delivery of steers end with Cody making his way back across the open prairie alone. A late start setting out necessitates overnight camping and the howls he hears turn out not to be buffalo wolves. What comes out of the darkness is a legend, but the werewolf doesn’t want to take a life. Its interest is in something much more primal and Cody finds himself having a full moon encounter with an aroused beast. 
    Back Alley Vampire Gangbang: 
    Walking home after a heavy night out is Wesley’s first mistake. Taking a shortcut is his second. He’s not complaining at first when he bumps into Conrad, but a kiss with a handsome guy in a back alley turns crazy when two more men come out of the darkness. There’s no escape when the three men reveal what they really are, but giving in completely brings on as much pleasure as pain when vampire bites turn him on in a way he never expected.

    Public Choice Theory

    Elections are the primary mechanism through which governments are decided. It is indeed, also one of the oldest practices of universal consent and what might be called as ‘multiple voices, one government’. Elections decide the destiny of a country, the government that the people choose; it is in its very essence, a characteristic activity that defines an identity of a nation. That can be thought of as quite obvious since the governments that people choose portray the type of society they live in and define further their dreams and aspirations. Elections in theory, is an activity that can be thought of as whirlwind of several mathematical and theoretical concepts. Several political scientists, mathematicians and philosophers have spoken too rightly about it and some have even gone steps further to devise equations and theorems that define what elections are comprised of. 
    Considering that point, elections are one of the main attraction points when it comes to economic theories and what people aspire in socio-political terms. Although elections have so far been a subject of political thought, recently since the last four decades, several economists have been able to successfully combine methods of game theory, probability and predictive techniques with conceptscoming from economics and political science, to come up with what is widely known as the public choice theory, a concept that tries to delve deep into the ‘mind’ of the voter and decode what really happens during the time of elections, how opinions are formed and how these very same opinions can either become a majority or a minority among the voter population. It also tries to, and has been successful at that, in proving the notion that instead of a ‘collective’ environment, elections are governed more by individual choices and preferences, which when aggregated among the electorate, transforms into a majority or a minority, a concept different from the common understanding that political parties are won primarily by collective choices instead of them being individual. This book tries to explain the concept in detail and bridge the gap for thosewanting to understand the deep mechanics governing elections and how voters, through a continuous set of mathematical and economic concepts, decide on the suitability of the desired candidates. 
    This book will offer a brief understanding of the concept and try to shape the understanding about elections for most people. An introductory chapter on what is public choice is followed by the theory’s historical development starting from late 1700s till modern day, what concepts from several disciplines shape up our understanding about public choice with explanations for each of these concepts for the reader to have more clarity for public choice is a fine relationship between several seemingly unrelated matters. Finally, conclusion remarks on how the theory applies on the general electorate followed by its implications and further evolution have also ben discussed.
