  A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada was one of the most influential spiritual teachers of the twentieth century and the founder of the worldwide Hare Krishna movement. Scholar, author, translator, and missionary, he carried the ancient teachings of Gaudiya Vaishnavism from India to the West and inspired a global spiritual revival that continues to affect millions of people today. 
   
  Born Abhay Charan De in Calcutta in 1896, Prabhupada grew up during a period of profound political and cultural change in India. In 1922 he met his spiritual master, Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati, who urged him to spread the teachings of Krishna consciousness in the English-speaking world. After decades of preparation, study, and writing, he journeyed alone to the United States in 1965 at the age of sixty-nine, arriving with little money but a clear spiritual mission. 
   
  This biography traces Prabhupada's remarkable journey from colonial India to global spiritual leadership. Drawing upon letters, lectures, memoirs, historical records, and eyewitness accounts, it explores his life, teachings, struggles, achievements, and enduring legacy. Few spiritual leaders have so successfully carried an ancient tradition across cultural boundaries, making Bhaktivedanta Swami one of the most significant religious figures of the modern era.

  Cop Under Cover - My life in the...

  In the 1990s deep-cover police agent RS536 took on the Durban underworld as part of a new organised crime intelligence unit. He rubbed shoulders with drug lords, smugglers and corrupt cops, and was instrumental in busting an international drug ring and foiling a bank heist, among many other dangerous engagements. 
    
  But then, as the country’s new democracy birthed a struggle between the old and the new guard in the South African Police Service, his identity and his life came under threat. In this action-packed account, Johann van Loggerenberg describes how, as a young policeman, he worked closely with the investigative team of the Goldstone Commission to uncover the ‘third force’ – apartheid security forces that supplied weapons to the Inkatha Freedom Party to destabilise the country. 
    
  He also delves into how and why, at the height of state capture at the South African Revenue Service in 2014, he was falsely accused of being an apartheid spy, a lie that persists up to today. Here, finally, is the truth behind the deep-cover police agent RS536.

  Little Women Podcast: The...

  There was a real-life Friedrich Bhaer. In fact, Louisa May Alcott wanted to marry him and even start a school with him. This man appears in literal disguises in all of her novels. He is Friedrich in Little Women, Mac in Rose in Bloom and David in Work and many more. Henry and Louisa shared a deep friendship, was it more than friendship? In Little Women Jo's and Friedrich's age gap is 16 years. It is the same age difference as between Henry and Louisa. 
  One of the models for Jo and Friedrich might be Louisa's friend Elizabeth and her husband. Her life was surprisingly similar to the book Jo. She wasn't a writer, but there are parallels. Based on what I have found, her marriage with her lawyer husband was a happy one. She was devoted to the educational work and in the same way, as Jo does, she promoted co-education, for both male and female students. She became a dean of the university. Same way as Jo who becomes the matriarch of the Bhaer Academy in "Jo´s Boys".. 
  There is a very compelling case to be made that Henry David Thoreau was the real-life Friedrich Bhaer. Louisa once called her friend Emerson "The God of my idolatry" but it was Henry who merited her lifelong affection. The ties between Henry and the Alcotts are more extensive than one might expect. From the time when the Alcotts moved to Concord in March 1840 until Henry's passing in 1862. He was a frequent guest in the Alcott´s home taking tea or dinner with the family. Bronson who admired the young man's intellect often visited him in his hut at Walden Pond. If the connection between Henry and the Alcotts was strong, the connection between Louisa and Henry was even stronger

  Is Math Real? - How Simple...

  One of the world’s most creative mathematicians offers a new way to look at math—focusing on questions, not answers      
   
      
   
  Winner of the Los Angeles Times Book Prize  
   
  A New Scientist Best Book of the Year     
   
    
   
  “Brilliant.”—Popular Science    
   
   
   
   Where do we learn math: From rules in a textbook? From logic and deduction? Not really, according to mathematician Eugenia Cheng: we learn it from human curiosity—most importantly, from asking questions. This may come as a surprise to those who think that math is about finding the one right answer, or those who were told that the “dumb” question they asked just proved they were bad at math. But Cheng shows why people who ask questions like “Why does 1 + 1 = 2?” are at the very heart of the search for mathematical truth.      
   
      
   
  Is Math Real? is a much-needed repudiation of the rigid ways we’re taught to do math, and a celebration of the true, curious spirit of the discipline. Written with intelligence and passion, Is Math Real? brings us math as we’ve never seen it before, revealing how profound insights can emerge from seemingly unlikely sources.       
   
  This audiobook is expertly read by the author, with audio engineering by Allie McSwain. It was produced and published by Echo Point Books & Media, LLC, an independent bookseller in Brattleboro, Vermont.

  Mothercare - On Obligation Love...

  Brilliantly original novelist and cultural critic Lynne Tillman became one of nearly 53 million Americans who care for a sick family member when her mother developed an unusual and little understood condition called Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus. 
   
   
   
  Instantly, Tillman's independent and spirited mother went from someone she knew to someone else, a woman entirely dependent on her children—an eleven-year process through which her mother underwent many surgeries and some misdiagnoses, while the family navigated consultations and confrontations with doctors, adjusting to the complexity of her cognitive issues, including memory loss. 
   
   
   
  With her notoriously exquisite writing style and reputation as a "rich noticer of strange things" (Colm Toíbín), Tillman describes, without flinching, the unexpected, heartbreaking, and frustrating years of caring for a sick parent. 
   
   
   
  Mothercare is both a cautionary tale and sympathetic guidance for anyone who suddenly becomes a caregiver, responsible for the life of another—a parent, loved or not, or a friend. This story may be helpful, informative, consoling, or upsetting, but it never fails to underscore how impossible it is to get the job done completely right.
