  In "The Roman Empire the Empire of the Edomite," William Beeston throws a curveball at history, proposing a bold connection between the mighty Romans and the ancient Edomites of Jordan. Published in 1853, this controversial book dives deep into both groups' history and culture, searching for evidence of a shared ancestry. Beeston links similarities in language, customs, and even religion to paint a picture of the Romans as descendants of the Edomites. While mainstream historians largely reject his arguments due to lack of concrete proof, the book remains a fascinating exploration of these intertwined civilizations, offering a unique perspective on their origins and interactions.

  This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.   
  THE WISDOM OF CARL JUNG is a captivating journey into the heart of Jungian psychology, exploring the profound ideas that shaped our understanding of the human psyche. Through thirty concise yet powerful chapters, this audiobook illuminates Jung’s core concepts—archetypes, the shadow, synchronicity, dreams, symbols, mandalas, and the collective unconscious—with clarity and depth. 
  Rather than serving as a guide or reference manual, this work is a narrative synthesis of Jung's intellectual legacy. It begins with his early influences and dramatic break with Freud, then builds toward his groundbreaking insights into depth psychology. 
  Listeners will discover how archetypes like the hero, the mother, and the wise old man influence both personal and cultural life. The audiobook dives into the interplay between the persona and the shadow, unveiling their essential roles in psychological development. Dreams and synchronicities emerge as bridges between the conscious and unconscious, while symbols and mandalas become keys to inner transformation. 
  Beyond his better-known theories, this exploration ventures into Jung's lesser-known fascinations—alchemy, paranormal research, and Eastern spiritual traditions—revealing them as vital elements of his holistic vision of the soul. 
  The final chapters reflect on Jung’s enduring influence in contemporary life, from politics and art to religion and popular culture. His concept of the collective unconscious continues to shed light on modern society’s myths and struggles. 
  Accessible yet intellectually rigorous, this audiobook is an invitation to immerse yourself in the depth of Jungian thought. It avoids simplifications while offering a clear structure, making it indispensable for those seeking to understand Carl Jung’s profound and timeless contributions to psychology and beyond.

  Hidden Agendas - Secret Motives...

  Hidden agendas exist in nearly every aspect of life, shaping decisions, influencing behavior, and often determining the outcomes of interactions without those involved fully realizing it. A hidden agenda refers to a concealed motive or underlying intention that differs from what is outwardly expressed. Unlike open and transparent objectives, hidden agendas operate beneath the surface, often serving personal, financial, or strategic interests that are not explicitly stated. 
  At their core, hidden agendas stem from the fundamental human need for control, advantage, or self-preservation. People may withhold their true intentions out of fear of rejection, loss of power, or diminished influence. In many cases, hidden agendas are not inherently malicious; they can be driven by self-interest, strategic planning, or the need to protect sensitive information. However, when used manipulatively, they can undermine trust, deceive others, and lead to unethical or harmful consequences. 
  One of the key characteristics of a hidden agenda is deception or misdirection. A person or group may present one set of intentions while secretly pursuing another. This is common in politics, business, and even personal relationships, where individuals may disguise their true motivations to gain support, manipulate outcomes, or secure an advantage. For example, a corporate leader advocating for a policy change may claim it is for the benefit of employees, while in reality, it serves to increase profits or consolidate power.

  Day of Reckoning - How the Far...

  The United States has become an almost unrecognizable country—with millions in thrall to conspiracy theories, toxic populism, and the far right edging closer to total power—a dire threat to civil society and democratic institutions. While the MAGA movement was in remission due to Donald Trump's defeat in 2020, the fascist fringes have not just survived but have continued to thrive and burrow into the mainstream. The January 6th Capitol Riot prosecutions have done little to curb their enthusiasm for mayhem. 
   
   
   
  Trump's base in the Republican Party is committed to their candidate like never before. The institutionalization of racist voter suppression and the outdated logic behind the Electoral College means he could take back the White House. Apocalyptic messaging ensures the alt-right, anti-government, anti-LGBT, and white nationalist groups see the next election as a life-or-death struggle and are uniting to back the one person they can all agree on—guaranteeing another chaotic election. 
   
   
   
  In this chilling exposé, Wendling encounters Capital rioters, Covid deniers, QAnon supporters, and Proud Boys and uncovers the roots of a movement that threatens to shatter the foundations of democracy.

  Not Just for the Boys - Why We...

  Not Just For the Boys looks back at how society has historically excluded women from the scientific sphere and discourse, what progress has been made, and how more is still needed. Athene Donald, herself a distinguished physicist, explores societal expectations during both childhood and working life using evidence of the systemic disadvantages women operate under, from the developing science of how our brains are and more importantly aren't gendered, to social science evidence around attitudes towards girls and women doing science. 
   
  It also discusses how science is done in practice, in order to dispel common myths: for example, the perception that science is not creative, or that it is carried out by a lone genius in an ivory tower, myths that can be very off-putting to many sections of the population. A better appreciation of the collaborative, creative, and multi-disciplinary nature of science is likely to lead to its appeal to a far wider swathe of people, especially women. This book examines the modern way of working in scientific research, and how gender bias operates in various ways within it, drawing on the voices of leading women in science describing their feelings and experiences. It argues the moral and business case for greater diversity in modern research, the better to improve science and tackle the great challenges we face today.
