  This is an audiobook of Wheel Publications No. 102/103 Buddhist Reflections on Death by V. F. Gunaratne, narrated by Jonathan Nelson.  
   
  "To most of us, at some moment or another, the spectacle of death must have given rise to the deepest of thoughts and profoundest of questions. What is life worth, if able bodies that once performed great deeds now lie flat and cold, senseless and lifeless? What is life worth, if eyes that once sparkled with joy, eyes that once beamed with love are now closed forever, bereft of movement, bereft of life? Thoughts such as these are not to be repressed. It is just these inquiring thoughts, if wisely pursued, that will ultimately unfold the potentialities inherent in the human mind to receive the highest truths. 
  "According to the Buddhist way of thinking, death, far from being a subject to be shunned and avoided, is the key that unlocks the seeming mystery of life. It is by understanding death that we understand life; for death is part of the process of life in the larger sense. In another sense, life and death are two ends of the same process and if you understand one end of the process, you also understand the other. Hence, by understanding the purpose of death we also understand the purpose of life." 
  —V.F. Gunaratne

  "Broadcasting Vietnam" offers a powerful and deeply human look at one of the most controversial wars in modern history and how it was brought into the living rooms of America. With an unflinching eye on the role of mass media, Davis Truman examines how televised images, frontline reporting, and photojournalism contributed to turning the tide of public opinion and fueling one of the most significant protest movements in U.S. history. 
  From the revolutionary leadership of Ho Chi Minh and the early days of conflict to the escalating American involvement and the devastating use of napalm and chemical weapons, this book chronicles the Vietnam War in vivid detail. Through chapters like "Napalm Girl" and "War and Mass Media," Truman highlights the undeniable impact of iconic moments that shocked a nation and galvanized a generation. 
  Combining historical analysis with cultural insight, Truman also explores the long-term consequences of the war, including its profound impact on American society, politics, and public trust. This is not just a book about war. It's a story about how information, images, and voices changed the course of history. 
  Bold, gripping, and unflinchingly honest, Broadcasting Vietnam is essential reading for anyone seeking to understand the power of media in shaping truth, perception, and resistance.

  Political Masculinity - How...

  Susanne Kaiser

  Men with assault rifles, balaclavas, and Hawaiian shirts pulled over bulletproof vests. Horned warriors with painted faces and fur headdresses draped over their naked torsos. The storming of the Capitol brought together men who had previously come across one another only online in the Manosphere. These were men with a common interest, followers of a male-supremacist ideology, who rioted in order to fight for their privilege.  Before then, the world had looked on as devastating attacks were carried out by incels: those who seek to gain unfettered access to women's bodies by redrawing the hierarchy of the sexes in order to ensure the subjugation of women. 
   
   
   
  For all of these men, masculinity is a political project, and the events at the Capitol were one episode in a growing movement. From the US and Canada to New Zealand, from Poland to Brazil, right-wing extremists, religious fundamentalists, and male supremacists are coming together in order to translate their reactionary dreams of male domination into politics, underscoring the masculine roots of the authoritarian backlash.
