  Unruly Desires - American...

  William Benemann

  In its voracious hunger to fill its decks and spars with the bodies of strong young sailors, the nineteenth century US Navy and the commercial maritime industry welcomed eccentrics, criminals, outcasts, and misfits into a community of the marginalized, one that held very different values and expectations than the towns and villages from which the young men fled, a community that offered a tentative refuge to men who were sexually attracted to other men. 
   
   
   
  Drawing from biographies and autobiographies, diaries, newspapers, government reports, Congressional hearings, religious tracts, pornography, ships' logs, medical treatises, maritime fiction, court-martial reports, personal letters and business correspondence, Benemann provides an in-depth examination of nineteenth century LGBTQ culture as it developed at sea and in America's port cities.

  In 1914, Sigmund Freud first introduced the idea of a narcissistic disorder, but that concept was not made official until approximately 50 years ago. 
  Now, narcissism is a popular buzzword on social media, blogs, and online quizzes. But what is narcissism really about and how do you know if you’re in a relationship with one?More importantly, if you discover that you are connected to a narcissist, what are the dangers, how do you protect yourself, and how do you escape? 
  There is a vast difference between someone exhibiting narcissistic traits and someone afflicted with actual NPD or Narcissistic Personality Disorder. In addition, other disorders can seem similar to NPD. We'll show you what to look for so you can tell the difference. 
  In Narcissism: Understanding Narcissistic Personality Disorder, we’ll explore how one becomes a narcissist, and what happens to a person that suddenly robs them of empathy—a trait directly tied to our humanity.We’ll uncover the different categories of narcissism, from the mild and generally harmless, to the extreme, malignant type—the one you especially want to keep a great distance from. 
  We will also cover what to do and how to navigate the very tricky process of dealing with a narcissist long-term, for parents with ex-spouses, for adult children of narcissists, or those who have a narcissist in the family. 
  How can you protect yourself or a loved one from falling victim to a narcissist? Narcissism: Understanding Narcissistic Personality Disorder can help you gain the knowledge necessary to survive the devastating results of narcissistic, emotional abuse. You’ll learn what to look for in determining if someone is, in fact, a narcissist.

  This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.   
  Imagine a universe with no edges, no beginning, no end—a universe where every possible version of reality already exists. Infinity: Why Nothing Ends and Everything Is Possible takes you on a journey into the heart of this eternal, infinite cosmos. 
  Through the lens of physics, cosmology, philosophy, and human experience, this book explores: 
  How infinite space and infinite time guarantee that all possibilities exist somewhere. 
  Why consciousness is not an accident, but a fundamental aspect of reality, allowing the universe to know itself. 
  How time is an illusion, and how the “present moment” contains all pasts, all futures, and all possibilities. 
  How infinite versions of “you” exist across timelines, universes, and dimensions, all connected through awareness. 
  How life itself reflects infinity, from the fractal geometry of the cosmos to the way human connection creates infinite reflections in one another. 
  Richly illustrated with metaphors, thought experiments, and poetic insights, this book guides readers to a profound understanding: you are not separate from the infinite - you are an expression of it. When two people meet, when a gaze connects, infinity is mirrored back through consciousness, creating endless patterns of experience and connection. 
  Infinity is a book for those who are curious about the universe, fascinated by consciousness, or seeking a deeper understanding of reality. It blends science, philosophy and spirituality into a coherent vision of life and existence that is both awe-inspiring and deeply practical. 
  Open it, and you will never see yourself - or the universe - the same way again.

  Isaiah - The World English Bible...

  Within the text of the Book of Isaiah, Isaiah himself is referred to as "the prophet", but the exact relationship between the Book of Isaiah and the actual prophet Isaiah is complicated. The traditional view is that all 66 chapters of the book of Isaiah were written by one man, Isaiah, possibly in two periods between 740 BC and c. 686 BC, separated by approximately 15 years, and that the book includes dramatic prophetic declarations of Cyrus the Great in the Bible, acting to restore the nation of Israel from Babylonian captivity. Another widely held view is that parts of the first half of the book (chapters 1-39) originated with the historical prophet, interspersed with prose commentaries written in the time of King Josiah a hundred years later, and that the remainder of the book dates from immediately before and immediately after the end of the exile in Babylon, almost two centuries after the time of the historical prophet.

  The book explores the history of a minority group, the Gaboye, in Somaliland, and, using a historical ethnographic approach, addresses two main issues. First, the analysis addresses the transformation and reproduction of the social boundary which separates an ascribed status-based minority group within the society: what symbolic, political, economic and social apparatuses have articulated the boundary and the belonging to this minority group? How have these apparatuses changed? Second, the analysis adopts the trajectory of the minority members in the town of Hargeysa as a perspective on the history of north-western Somali society: from the point of view of an ascribed status-based minority group, what can we see of the social, economic and political changes which occurred during the decades of slow colonial penetration into the area, of urban expansion, of postcolonial state consolidation and collapse, civil war, mass displacement, peace building, and the contemporary waves of diasporisation of this society?
