Synopsis

"What makes shit such a universal joke is that it's an unmistakable reminder of our duality, of our soiled nature and of our will to glory. It is the ultimate lèse-majesté".
John Berger's essay begins by describing the experience of burying a year's worth of his household's excrement. What follows is an extended reflection—at once philosophically detached and profoundly engaged with the inescapable stuff of life—on shit as an emblem of what it means to be human: on our simultaneous kinship with and profound difference from all other animals.

    This book contains the following 4 titles: 
    - Decoding Animal Minds: The question of whether animals possess consciousness has intrigued philosophers, scientists, and animal lovers for centuries. Consciousness, often described as the awareness of one's thoughts, feelings, and surroundings, is a concept that has been challenging to define, even in humans. When applied to animals, the puzzle becomes even more complex, as humans must contend with species whose mental processes are vastly different, yet still intriguing. 
    - The World's Youngest Criminal Genius: In the annals of crime, there are few figures as captivating or as puzzling as Michael McCrudden, often dubbed "The World's Youngest Criminal Genius." This title, given by the media and sensationalized through various reports, paints a picture of a brilliant, almost calculating young mind who orchestrated elaborate criminal schemes before reaching adulthood. But who was Michael McCrudden really, and what drove him to the heights of criminality at such a tender age? 
    - The Story of Drugs: Throughout human history, substances have shaped the course of civilizations, influencing not only individual lives but entire societies. From the sacred plants used in ancient religious rituals to the drugs that sparked global trade and conflict, substances have been at the center of some of the most transformative events in human history. 
    - The Most Bizarre Cult Ever: The Pythagorean Cult, founded by the ancient Greek philosopher and mathematician Pythagoras, stands as one of the most mysterious and intriguing movements in history. Emerging in the 6th century BCE, it blended religious, philosophical, and scientific ideals into a unique and complex system that shaped the intellectual landscape of ancient Greece. At the heart of the cult was the figure of Pythagoras, revered as a divine being by his followers.

    A mother's triumphant journey from darkness to light after suffering a traumatic loss. Behind the Face "is a heart-wrenching story that will inspire you as Toranj Irani embarks on her path toward healing. 
    Toranj allows the reader insight into her journey from wondering why her life included so much suffering and why she was being punished to the realization that not everything is happening to you and into the knowing that things are always happening for you. With this new awareness, she was able to move from bitter to joyful. Toranj then went on to develop a connection with her daughter-although no longer in physical form but is very much a part of her everyday life which includes 'out of the blue' magical surprises. 
    This is a powerful story of her awakening and transformation."

    A tradition at Christmas was for the choir of local musicians and singers to assemble at the Hardys’ cottage, prior to setting out into the snow to do the rounds of local farms, homesteads, and manor house, in order to entertain their occupants. Hardy recreated this magical scene in Under the Greenwood Tree, published in 1872. 
    In the days when labouring classes worked long hours, and for the majority, material comforts were small, Christmas was a time (aside from the formalities of necessary religious observance,) for the exchanging of news, folklore, legend and jokes. For those fortunate enough to be invited to the Hardys’ cottage on Christmas Eve, there was the added bonus of food and drink to feed the body, and music – home-made of course – to lift the spirits and nourish the soul.  
    Hardy’s descriptions of such Christmases, as were celebrated by himself and his family, together with his colourful portrayals of characters – in particular the members of the ‘Mellstock Quire’ (Choir,) whom he described as his favourites - have delighted generations of his readers, and continue to do so.  
    This then, is the story of Thomas Hardy and of Christmas; of what that greatest of all Christian festivals meant to him, and of how his beliefs changed as the years progressed.
