  In this sequel to The History of Sexuality, Volume I: An Introduction, the brilliantly original French thinker who died in 1984 gives an analysis of how the ancient Greeks perceived sexuality. 
   
   
   
  Throughout The Use of Pleasure Foucault analyzes an irresistible array of ancient Greek texts on eroticism as he tries to answer basic questions: How in the West did sexual experience become a moral issue? And why were other appetites of the body, such as hunger, and collective concerns, such as civic duty, not subjected to the numberless rules and regulations and judgments that have defined, if not confined, sexual behavior?

  Adventures of Sherlock Holmes...

  This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice. To Sherlock Holmes, she is always the woman. 
  Among all the tales of Sherlock Holmes, A Scandal in Bohemia stands as one of Arthur Conan Doyle’s most beloved and iconic adventures—the story that introduces Irene Adler, the only person ever to outwit the world’s greatest consulting detective. 
  Dr. Watson recounts the case that begins when a mysterious masked nobleman arrives at 221B Baker Street, bearing an urgent, top-secret commission. The visitor is none other than the hereditary King of Bohemia. Years earlier, he formed an intimate connection with the brilliant, captivating opera singer Irene Adler. Now engaged to a Scandinavian princess, the King faces ruin: Irene holds a compromising cabinet photograph of the pair, and she threatens to release it upon the public announcement of his betrothal. 
  Holmes accepts the assignment to retrieve the photograph. Employing masterful disguise, sharp observation, and an ingenious fire trick, he infiltrates Irene Adler’s home and uncovers where she hides the damning image. Yet Holmes underestimates his adversary. Witty, fearless, and endlessly resourceful, Irene sees straight through his scheme. Before Sherlock can claim victory, she vanishes, leaving behind a letter—and a lasting impression that changes Holmes forever. 
  Gone are his usual dismissive jests about the intelligence of women. From this moment onward, Sherlock Holmes speaks of Irene Adler solely with reverence, addressing her as the woman. 
  This timeless opening short story from The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes is a masterclass in Victorian mystery, wit, and cat-and-mouse intrigue, brought vividly to life for audio listeners.

  Noted naturopathic physician Dr. Peter J. D'Adamo introduces a revolutionary new way to eat—and to live. In Eat Right For Your Type, he explains his groundbreaking diet plan based upon blood type. Our blood type is a roadmap to our inner chemistry—and each blood type processes food, handles stress, and fights disease differently. Find out what you should be eating, and how you should be exercising in accord with your own type. For instance,  
  For Type O: Focus on higher protein, eliminate grains, and perform energetic aerobic exercise 
  For Type A: Go vegetarian, exercise more mildly, and ease tension through meditation  
  For Type B: Vary your diet with a diversity of food groups, and exercise moderately 
  For Type AB: You have most of the benefits and intolerances of Types A and B  
  From A to O, Eating Right For Your Type is as simple as A, B, C!
