    Traumatic experiences happen to nearly everyone, at some time, in some form. The aftereffects—depression, anxiety, addiction, panic attacks, insomnia, and more—can affect us for years or even a lifetime. But the brokenness following a traumatic event is never a life sentence. We are all changed by trauma, but we do not have to be defined by it. 
     
     
     
    Drawing on cutting-edge research, Triumph over Trauma empowers you to find relief and hope once and for all. Rather than offering a one-size-fits-all solution, this whole-person treatment approach recognizes you as a unique constellation of emotional, physical, intellectual, relational, and spiritual dimensions. This book explains how trauma affects your emotions, body, brain, relationships, soul, and dreams. Then it shows you how to create a personalized plan to find your way back to wholeness, joy, and peace.

    Manipulation is a form of covert influence where an individual or group uses deceptive tactics to control or alter the behaviors, beliefs, or decisions of others, often without their awareness. This subtle, often underhanded form of influence aims to achieve personal gain or power, typically at the expense of the manipulated party. Understanding the nature of manipulation requires delving into the methods and psychological mechanisms that make it so effective and insidious. 
    At its core, manipulation is about exerting influence in a way that is not immediately obvious to the target. Unlike more overt forms of control, manipulation operates in the shadows, using psychological tactics to induce desired behaviors or responses. It thrives on exploiting vulnerabilities, uncertainties, and emotional triggers in individuals, often capitalizing on their desires, fears, or insecurities. Manipulators may use a variety of techniques, such as flattery, guilt-tripping, emotional blackmail, and gaslighting, to sway decisions or actions in their favor. 
    One of the defining characteristics of manipulation is its covert nature. The manipulator often works behind the scenes, creating situations or presenting information in a way that influences the target’s perception of reality. This can lead the victim to make decisions they would not otherwise have made, under the false belief that they are acting independently or in their own best interest. For instance, a manipulative partner may use guilt to convince their significant other to compromise on something they would normally resist. Over time, these manipulative tactics can erode the target's sense of agency and self-worth, making them more susceptible to future manipulation.

    This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.   
    The world as we know it feels mapped, photographed, and documented—a planet where satellites sweep the skies and every mountain, desert, and shoreline is marked with coordinates. Yet, beneath this illusion of total knowledge, lie hidden corners humanity was never meant to see. Secret Earth: Places You Weren’t Meant to Find is a compelling journey into those forbidden zones—territories of secrecy, danger, and mystery that resist the light of exposure. 
    Across twenty richly told chapters, the book reveals a global atlas of the hidden and the unreachable. Some places are locked away by governments, their gates sealed with silence. Consider Area 51, that infamous desert base where secrecy turned into myth, or Pine Gap, Australia’s “eye in the sky,” where satellites and signals weave webs of global surveillance. Others are shielded by cultural guardianship—lands like North Sentinel Island, where an indigenous people reject all contact, or the Vatican Archives, whose shelves hide manuscripts and histories beyond public reach. Still others are guarded by nature itself, such as Snake Island in Brazil, where thousands of lethal vipers forbid human settlement, or the fragile chambers of the Lascaux Caves, sealed because a single breath could erase art that has survived for 17,000 years. 
    The book moves fluidly from ancient ruins to modern fortresses, from legendary sites to contemporary phenomena. We descend into the underground labyrinth of Derinkuyu in Turkey, where entire towns once lived in secret, and stand before India’s haunted Bhangarh Fort, abandoned to legend and cursed memory. We explore Mezhgorye in Russia, a mysterious closed city guarding subterranean secrets, and enter the strange exclusivity of Bohemian Grove, California, where the powerful retreat into ritual behind towering redwoods.

    The Channels of Student Activism...

    An eye-opening analysis of collegiate activism and its effects on the divisions in contemporary American politics.  
     
    The past six years have been marked by a contentious political atmosphere that has touched every arena of public life, including higher education. Though most college campuses are considered ideologically progressive, how can it be that the right has been so successful in mobilizing young people even in these environments? 
     
    As Amy J. Binder and Jeffrey L. Kidder show in this surprising analysis of the relationship between political activism on college campuses and the broader US political landscape, while liberal students often outnumber conservatives on college campuses, liberal campus organizing remains removed from national institutions that effectively engage students after graduation. And though they are usually in the minority, conservative student groups have strong ties to national right-leaning organizations, which provide funds and expertise, as well as job opportunities and avenues for involvement after graduation. Though the left is more prominent on campus, the right has built a much more effective system for mobilizing ongoing engagement. What’s more, the conservative college ecosystem has worked to increase the number of political provocations on campus and lower the public’s trust in higher education. 
      
    In analyzing collegiate activism from the left, right, and center, The Channels of Student Activism shows exactly how politically engaged college students are channeled into two distinct forms of mobilization and why that has profound consequences for the future of American politics.
