Sinossi

Roman Emperor Marcus Aurelius Antoninus Augustus was the model of what we call a philosopher-king. Though his rule was troubled by war and conflict, he remained a thoughtful and even-handed ruler. Meditations isn't a complete book, but rather a collection of his personal diary entries written over a ten-year campaign in Greece. The entries were never meant to be published; instead, they were a reminder to himself of how to remain calm, tranquil, and kind, even in the worst of situations. In them we see the emperor working out how to deal with the everyday problems all of us face: annoying coworkers, difficult family members, the expectations of others, unrealized goals and achievements, and, ultimately, happiness. The episodic nature of Meditations makes it hard to follow at times, but in exchange we get a deeply personal window into the life of one of Rome's most unique emperors, and more importantly, a handbook of thoughtful advice on how to live a tranquil, satisfied, and productive life.

    From the closing years of the nineteenth century, women received subtle—and not so subtle—messages that they shouldn't be in public. Or, if they were, that they were not safe. Breaking the Gender Code tells the story of both this danger narrative and the resistance to it. 
 
 
 
Historian Georgina Hickey investigates challenges to the code of urban gender segregation in the twentieth century, focusing on organized advocacy to make the public spaces of American cities accessible to women. She traces waves of activism from the Progressive Era, with its calls for public restrooms, safe and accessible transportation, and public accommodations, through and beyond second-wave feminism, and its focus on the creation of alternative, women-only spaces and extensive anti-violence efforts. In doing so, Hickey explores how gender segregation intertwined with other systems of social control, as well as how class, race, and sexuality shaped activists' agendas and women's experiences of urban space. Drawing connections between the vulnerability of women in public spaces, real and presumed, and contemporary debates surrounding rape culture, bathroom bills, and domestic violence, Hickey unveils both the strikingly successful and the incomplete initiatives of activists who worked to open up public space to women.

    Guy W. Ballard (July 28, 1878-December 29, 1939) and his wife, Edna Anne Wheeler Ballard, founded the I AM Movement. Ballard served in the US Army in World War I and then became a mining engineer. Both he and Edna studied theosophy and the occult extensively. In 1930 Ballard visited Mount Shasta in California, where he met another hiker who identified himself as the Count of St. Germain. These experiences are recorded in the three books Ballard wrote using the pen name Godfre Ray King. The I AM movement was one of the most successful, flamboyant, and controversial of the late 1930s. Ballard's teachings form the original nucleus for what are today called the Ascended Master Teachings and are still being taught by I AM sanctuaries all over the world.

    Inner Revolution Poetry: 108 Poems of Spiritual Change is a heartfelt collection of devotional poetry by Yaśomatīnandana Dāsa (Jan Wolter), disciple of His Holiness Kadamba Kanana Swami. Spanning a decade of spiritual journeys across Europe, India, the Middle East, Africa, and beyond, these poems weave together personal reflections, Vedic wisdom, and the transformative power of Bhakti-yoga. 
Structured in six parts—from Mayavada to Prabhupada, Time for Surrender, and Devotional Service to Beyond Birth & Death—the work traces a seeker’s path from questioning and searching to surrender, service, and divine love. Each poem is accompanied by contemplations that ground mystical experiences in the teachings of the Bhagavad-Gītā and Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam. 
This is not merely poetry but a spiritual companion—an invitation to join a journey of awakening, to reflect, chant, and live with greater simplicity, humility, and joy. Whether you are new to Bhakti or already walking the path, these verses open a window into the eternal quest for truth, love, and harmony. 
Perfect for readers of spiritual literature, yoga practitioners, seekers of inner peace, and lovers of devotional poetry.
