  This audiobook narrated by John Telfer introduces listeners to Jung's groundbreaking ideas about synchronicity
  
  C. G. Jung was intrigued from early in his career with coincidences, especially those surprising juxtapositions that scientific rationality could not adequately explain. He discussed these ideas with Albert Einstein before World War I but first used the term "synchronicity" in a 1930 lecture, in reference to the unusual psychological insights generated from consulting the I Ching. A long correspondence and friendship with the Nobel Prize–winning physicist Wolfgang Pauli stimulated a final, mature statement of Jung's thinking on synchronicity, originally published in 1952 and reproduced here. Together with a wealth of historical and contemporary material, this essay describes an astrological experiment Jung conducted to test his theory. Synchronicity reveals the full extent of Jung's research into a wide range of psychic phenomena.

  Bernard Goldberg takes dead aim at the America Bashers (the cultural elites who look down their snobby noses at ""ordinary"" Americans and detest so much of what this country is about)...the Hollywood Blowhards (incredibly ditzy celebrities who think they're smart just because they're famous)...the TV Schlockmeisters (including the one whose show has been compared to a churning mass of maggots devouring rotten meat)...the Intellectual Thugs (big-wigs at some of our best colleges, whose views run the gamut from left-wing to far left-wing)...and many more. 
  Goldberg names names, profiling the villains in his rogues' gallery, one by one, from 100 down to 1 -- and yes, you-know-who is #37. But Goldberg doesn't just round up the usual suspects we have come to know and detest. He also exposes some of the people who operate away from the limelight but still manage to pull a lot of strings and do all sorts of harm to our culture. 
  100 People Who Are Screwing Up America is about a country where as long as anything goes, sooner or later everything will go.

  Jewish Family Life - Customs...

  Jewish family life is deeply rooted in tradition, values, and a strong sense of community. The family is not just a social unit but the very foundation of Jewish identity, shaping the faith, customs, and moral principles passed down through generations. Through daily practices, holidays, and shared rituals, Jewish families cultivate a home environment that nurtures both spiritual and ethical development. 
  At the core of Jewish family life is the concept of shalom bayit, or peace in the home. This principle emphasizes harmony, mutual respect, and love among family members. Parents play a crucial role in modeling these values, creating an atmosphere where kindness, patience, and understanding are prioritized. The Torah provides guidance on fostering a household filled with compassion and justice, reinforcing the idea that family is a sacred space where Jewish teachings come to life. 
  Another fundamental aspect of Jewish family life is the observance of Shabbat. The Sabbath is more than just a day of rest—it is a time for families to reconnect, reflect, and step away from the distractions of daily life. The preparation for Shabbat, including lighting the candles, reciting blessings over wine and bread, and sharing a festive meal, strengthens family bonds. Shabbat serves as a reminder of the importance of slowing down, appreciating one another, and finding holiness within the home. It is a time when parents pass down traditions and children absorb the rhythms of Jewish living.

  Slavery and the Law: The History...

  Editors Charles River

  Ultimately, while the institution of slavery existed, the principle of protecting individual property rights prevailed, alongside a necessary acknowledgment that slaves were property first and sentient human beings second. It also required a great deal of careful drafting and verbal contortions to construct the Constitution for the young republic that supported those principles of freedom and equality while at the same time facilitating the perpetuation of the “peculiar institution.” 
  	It was not until 1865, with the adoption of the Thirteenth Amendment, the instrument that abolished slavery, that any overt mention of slavery found its way into the Constitution. Before that, direct reference was always carefully avoided, although, at the same time, unmistakably alluded to. The document is filled with provisions specific to slavery, protecting and codifying it on a federal level, without anywhere making direct or overt mention of it. By 1788, when the Constitution of the United States was formally adopted, slavery had been a fact of life in the colonies for 169 years, since the first recorded arrival of black Africans in Virginia in 1619. At that time, around the institution, had evolved a system of laws that were derived in the main from English common law. The irony here is that the regime of English common law was at its root hostile to the principle of human bondage, had no tradition of slavery to call upon, and was desirous on the whole to avoid making any overt judgment or pronouncement on the matter. It, therefore, fell to colonial lawmakers to resolve that essential contradiction between treating Africans as either people or property or both. This tension remained in play throughout the era of slavery in English-speaking America until the matter was finally resolved by the outcome of the American Civil War.
