In "The Religion of Numa," Jesse Benedict Carter delves into the ancient Roman religious practices as associated with the legendary king Numa Pompilius, presenting a meticulous analysis of Roman religious institutions and their philosophical underpinnings. The book's literary style is rich and scholarly, employing an analytical framework that synthesizes historical texts, archaeological evidence, and comparative theology. Carter navigates through a complex tapestry of rituals, deities, and priestly orders, elucidating how Numa's reforms shaped the pivotal religious landscape of early Rome, all while situating his study within the broader context of Roman and comparative religious studies.

This captivating work is highly recommended for scholars, students, and enthusiasts of classical studies, as well as anyone interested in the intricate ways in which religion shapes civilizations. "The Religion of Numa" not only enhances our understanding of Roman spirituality but also invites reflection on the foundational elements of societal governance and cultural identity.

    A tale from 1001 Lesbian Nights 
This collected edition contains all three parts of Desert Gardens at a special price. 
By the sea of many islands, right at the edge of where the Desert of the Red Sands meets the Desert of the Black Sands, once lay the city of Gurganj, where a sly thief is sent on an errand by her Empress, to retrieve the one magical fruit missing from her garden. Bravely, the young woman sets out on her mission, but only the special juices of a witch, flowing freely from between her legs, will be able to help her withstand the perils of her quest. 
As our young heroine travels deep into the desert, to retrieve the one fruit for her Queen that was still missing in the Palace Gardens, she encounters a fruit of a very different kind. There, at the harshed and unlikeliest of places, a princess lay sleeping, waiting to be awoken from her ancient curse by the tongue, lips and caresses of a daring, young traveller who longs for nothing more than to taste the flowing juices of her wet holes. 
Returning from her travels, our heroine discovers that her true destination has been hidden in the Palace Gardens all along, right between the soft, milky white legs of her beloved Queen. Was the magical fruit hidden between her flowery petals all along? And is it ripe for the plucking? For Nilgoon, the time had come to find out.

    Bat, Ball and Field is a wonderful foray into the history and culture of cricket. 
‘Hotten is not just good, he is one of the best’ Cricketer 
Chronicling the evolution of the sport since its earliest years, highlighting transcendent moments as well as tragedies, Jon Hotten lifts the seemingly impregnable veil from the Laws, batting strokes, types of bowling and the sometimes absurd names given to where fielders stand, allowing anyone a pathway into enjoying the sport, and an introductory immersion into its long history. 
This book is divided into the three parts that make up the fundamental elements of cricket: bat, ball and field. Their harmony produces cricket’s unique environment; their centuries’ long conflict provides its innovation, adaptability and vast psychological hinterland. These sections unite to map out in a completely original way the story of the sport that began as a country pursuit and is now followed by billions across the world. 
Hotten's autobiography is a humorous and insightful exploration of cricket's history in Britain and Europe. His popular writing style and deep understanding of the sport make this book a top pick for sports enthusiasts. 
For fans of Shaun Assael (The Murder of Sonny Liston), Geoffrey C. Ward (Before the Trumpet), Stefan Szymanski (It's Football, Not Soccer), Tim Wigmore (Test Cricket), and Barry Johnston (The Wit of Cricket).

This intimate memoir invites the reader into the confronting world of childhood abuse, family dynamics, and the emotional and psychological aspects of surviving and recovering as an adult. Kath’s story inspires readers to reclaim their voice by remembering, recovering, and reportingthe experiences of childhood sexual abuse. 
The Courage to Speak Your Truth helps uplift survivors and enable them to transform their pain to purpose and change the conversation regarding childhood abuse. Kath advocates that together – with courage – survivors can shift the narrative of child abuse and dismantle the silence that maintains its cycle.
