Lord Miles in Afghanistan

Lord Miles Routledge

Casa editrice: Antelope Hill Publishing LLC

Sinossi

On August 15th, 2021, the nation of Afghanistan passed from West back to East. On that day the victorious Taliban insurgency retook the city of Kabul after twenty years of American occupation. The NATO-backed government had collapsed within days. Tens of thousands of people fled to the city to seek refuge and evacuation. And there in Kabul was a hitherto unknown British university student enjoying his holiday, suddenly caught up in history.
Lord Miles Routledge was the last person issued a tourist visa by the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan. Miles began chronicling his travels in one of the most dangerous countries in the world on the online message board 4chan, where he found himself with a riveted global audience. When the Taliban reached Kabul, headlines around the world picked up his story and people watched to see if he would make it back home. Fortunately, he did, and through the process discovered his calling as a true modern adventurer, traveling over the following year to other places including the Kazakhstan protests, the frontlines of the Ukraine conflict, South Sudan, and eventually back to Afghanistan for some desert target practice with his new friends in the Taliban. This book is his first-hand account of his first and most infamous trip to Afghanistan. Miles experiences a fascinating kaleidoscope of natural beauty, war-torn desolation, poverty, humanity, courage, and generosity. He finds himself in many places off the beaten path and meets a colorful range of characters. Throughout it all, his eternal optimism and indomitable faith ensure an invigorating narration for this unique journey.
Antelope Hill Publishing is proud to present Lord Miles Routledge’s autobiographical account, Lord Miles in Afghanistan. This fantastic journey by a unique author showcases the best of the adventuring European spirit.

The Social Genome - The New...

Dalton Conley

A pioneering scientist presents a mind-expanding account of the sociogenomics revolution, which promises to upend everything we know about human development. 
 
 
 
Sociogenomics brings together advances in molecular genetics and traditional social and behavioral science. The key tool is the polygenic index, which allows us to analyze DNA to measure a child's genetic potential. Today, we can estimate a child's adult height, how far they will go in school, and their weight as an adult—all from a cheek swab, finger prick, or vial of saliva. Dalton Conley and other researchers are using this new science to shed light on the ways in which genes shape our world, influencing how each person both creates and responds to the environment around them. Conley reveals a world where children's DNA influences the nurture they extract from their parents; the genes of our schoolmates affect our likelihood of smoking as much as our own DNA does; and spouses' genes influence each other's moods and behaviors. 
 
 
 
The Social Genome presents a nuanced, powerful perspective on individual potential and social dynamics and raises critical ethical questions about how we will navigate a future where we have access to far more genetic information than ever before.

The Black Promise Land -...

Tashlultum

In this heart-warming story, we follow the story of a loving father who, on the eve of his son's wedding, gifts him an acre of land - a symbolic gesture that sparks a captivating exploration into the rich tapestry of African American history and the quest for liberation and prosperity. 
As the father and son stand on the lush acre, the father recounts the persistent legacies of resilience and hope forged by their ancestors in the face of adversity. The characters engage in profound conversations about the promises of "forty acres and a mule" and the Biblical tale of the Israelites' journey to the Promised Land, drawing powerful parallels that span generations and cultures. 
As the story unfolds, the father soberly reflects on the historical injustices and land dispossession experienced by African Americans, highlighting the importance of landownership as a path to economic autonomy, vibrant health, and intergenerational wealth. Together, they rekindle the entrepreneurial spirit and determination that has long coursed through the veins of Black America, propelled by the belief that freedom and prosperity can only be fully realized once every family owns at least a piece of land, free from debt. 
Through the intimate exchanges between father and son, their bond transcending time, "The Black Promise Land: A Father's Gift and a Legacy Reclaimed" inspires readers to embrace their roots, tap into the collective resilience that shapes African American history, and forge a new chapter of landownership and prosperity for themselves and generations to come. As the story culminates with the son stepping forward into married life, armed with the knowledge of his ancestral wisdom and an acre of promise, the reader is left with a renewed sense of purpose, determination, and hope for a brighter future.

Drink Water and Mind Your...

Dr. Donna Oriowo

Society was not built with the needs of Black women in mind. As a result, we learn that the only way to feel good about ourselves is to prioritize everyone else's needs over our own. We find our value in being the perfect partner, mother, daughter, employee, and friend. But that is exhausting. Instead of feeling good about how dope we are, we only feel good about what we do for others. 
 
 
 
Supremacy culture teaches us to hate Black people, to hate women, and to especially hate Black women . . . except when they need us. So in a world where our service is required for acceptance, how could we ever feel good about ourselves while also giving the middle finger to systems of power? How can we live our best lives? The answer: Self-esteem. Self-esteem has been gatekept by the white and male supremacist delusions for far too long. It's time to put power where it actually belongs. 
 
 
 
In Drink Water and Mind Your Business, Dr. Donna Oriowo helps listeners understand the basic foundations of self-esteem and offers real, meaningful solutions to feel like the most glorious and badass versions of themselves. Based on years of research and Dr. Donna's career as a licensed sex and relationship therapist, this book will help you set boundaries, prioritize your needs, understand your immense worth, and pursue a life that brings you pleasure and joy.
