Metamorphoses Volume 2

Ovid

Ovid’s Metamorphoses is a monumental narrative poem that chronicles the history of the world from creation to the deification of Julius Caesar, all through the lens of transformation. Composed of over 250 myths, the poem weaves together tales of gods, heroes, and mortals whose lives are changed—often through love, punishment, or fate—by physical metamorphosis. From Daphne turning into a laurel tree to escape Apollo, to Narcissus falling in love with his own reflection, Ovid’s elegant and often playful storytelling blends tragedy, humor, and wonder. His poetic vision explores themes of power, desire, identity, and the impermanence of life. Rich in imagery and emotional depth, Metamorphoses has profoundly influenced Western literature, art, and mythology, offering a vivid portrait of both divine caprice and human vulnerability.

Tackle Football and Traumatic...

Daniel S. Goldberg, Christopher...

American tackle football is an industry like any other. And like many industries, it sells a product that is dangerous to those who use it—or, in this case, those who play it. Daniel S. Goldberg explores the connections among traumatic brain injury, collision sports, and the industry's continuing efforts to manufacture doubt. Focusing especially on youths and adolescents—the most vulnerable population that comprises over 99% of tackle football players in the US—Goldberg addresses the ethical and social implications of their participation in tackle football. 
 
 
 
As the tackle football industry has consistently worked to mask the health hazards, it has used a particular tool that has proved highly effective in achieving this subterfuge: the manufacture of doubt. Goldberg advocates for using public health laws as a tool for countering these efforts at obfuscation, and he outlines specific policy proposals intended to address the population health and ethical problems presented by tackle football. 
 
 
 
The book draws on public health ethics, public health law, and the histories of occupational and public health to assess the limits of parental choice to expose their children to risks of injury. Chris Nowinski, former Harvard football player and WWE wrestler, provides a timely and insider's perspective on these critical issues in the foreword.

The Future and You - Reflections...

Emma Gilligan

A Reminder of the Rights We Can't Afford to Forget -
Reflections on Freedom, Responsibility and What It Means to Be Human
What holds us together when the world feels fractured? In The Future and You, Emma Gilligan offers a quiet but powerful meditation on the enduring role of human rights and how they can ground us in a shifting world.
Written as a letter to her great-nephew and future generations, this deeply personal book draws on Gilligan’s lifelong commitment to global justice and moral responsibility, from the war-torn landscapes of Chechnya and Ukraine to the lecture halls of Indiana University. With clarity and purpose, she reflects on freedom, duty, dignity and the fragile beauty of being human.
Presented as a series of reflections, each centered on a fundamental human right, the book blends Gilligan’s values and lived experience to offer a framework for daily life.
This is not a manifesto or a memoir. It’s a reminder that we don’t exist in a vacuum and that courage, compassion and responsibility are already within us. We need only return to them.
The Future and You invites readers to remember that the freedoms to speak openly, move freely, live securely and be cared for are not guaranteed — they must be protected, practiced and passed on.
If you're seeking resilience, understanding or a sense of direction in uncertain times, you’ll find insight and reassurance woven throughout this concise yet powerful read. Gilligan’s whimsical illustrations add warmth and imagination to her call for introspection and renewal.
Emma Gilligan is an award-winning scholar and co-founder of the U.S. State Department’s Atrocity Crimes Advisory Group for Ukraine.

Bedtime Stories for Adults

Andy Benson

Bedtime stories aren’t just for kids anymore…Do you find that you struggle to sleep, no matter how hard you try to cope with it? Are you always exhausted even though you know that you shouldn’t be? If you find that bedtime is impossible for you to cope with, then this book is for you!As you read through this book, you will build off of the skills from the previous two books, mastering the concepts of mindfulness so that you can feel far more capable of navigating your own difficult feelings with ease. There is a reason that bedtime stories are so recommended for getting children to sleep; after all—having time to enjoy a story allows your mind to relax and allows you to begin to focus more on the moment. You may be pleasantly surprised and discover that through reading these bedtime stories, you will help your mind relax and ease off to sleep.In this book, you will continue the use of meditation that has been built in the previous books. Then, you will be provided with several options for bedtime stories. Each story is designed to be a calming slice of life story about the various adventures (and sometimes misadventures) of Sophie Rogers, a young woman that lives in the Pacific Northwest with her German shepherd pal, Bella. Together, and sometimes separately, they get out and enjoy their lives and the stories of her day to day life can help you to relax and soothe yourself into a state in which you will be able to relax. As you read, you should find yourself calming down and preparing for a night of sleep. Each of the options that are provided to you should be fun and engaging without keeping you up at night.Finally, at the end of the book, you will be given two more traditional mindful meditations that are designed to trigger that state of mindfulness within yourself so you can then begin to relax and enjoy a restful night’s sleep. When you utilize these techniques, you can calm yourself down when you need to, allowing yourself to finally fall asleep.

Queen Victoria's Jubilee

Mark Twain

While in London in 1897, Mark Twain was commissioned by William Randolph Hearst to report for the San Francisco Examiner on the sixtieth anniversary of Queen Victoria's ascension to the throne.Evoking historical detail reminiscent of passages in The Prince and the Pauper and Personal Recollections of Joan of Arc, Twain compares the jubilee to his own original and imaginative account of the 1415 celebration following the English victory at Agincourt, and he also reflects on the rapid changes in the British Empire during the Victorian age.
