What Do Women Want? - Adventures...

Anonyme

When it comes to sex, common wisdom holds that men roam while women crave closeness and commitment. But in this provocative, headline-making book, Daniel Bergner turns everything we thought we knew about women's arousal and desire inside out. Drawing on extensive research and interviews with renowned behavioral scientists, sexologists, psychologists, and everyday women, he forces us to reconsider long-held notions about female sexuality. 
This bold and captivating journey into the world of female desire explores answers to such thought-provoking questions as: Are women perhaps the less monogamous sex? What effect do intimacy and emotional connection really have on lust? What is the role of narcissism—the desire to be desired—in female sexuality? Are political gains for women ("No means no") detrimental in the bedroom? And is the hunt for a "female Viagra" anything but a search for the cure for monogamy? 
Bergner goes behind the scenes of some of the most groundbreaking experiments on sexuality today and confronts us with controversial, sometimes uncomfortable findings. Incendiary, profoundly insightful, and brilliantly illuminating, What Do Women Want? will change the conversation about women and sex, and is sure to spark dynamic discussion for years to come.

Rupert Gavin

How did a marginal dialect spoken in the late ninth century by 200,000 people become the world's language spoken by 1.6 billion people today? In Amorous or Loving? – The Highly Peculiar Tale of English and the English, Sir Rupert Gavin charts the unique evolution of our language into the resulting hodge-podge that is now the lingua franca of the world. He argues that English is ideal as the global language, not just by accident of history, but by fundamental construction and constitution. Further, he examines how all of this was determined not just by our unique language, but also our geography, our weather, our religion, the extraordinary status of London, and by a handful of inspirational figures – some well-known and some hardly known today at all.

Ancient Egyptian Law and...

Omar Khalil

Ancient Egyptian law was deeply rooted in the concept of Ma’at, the divine order that governed the universe and ensured balance, truth, and justice. This principle was not just a philosophical ideal but a practical guide for governance and social conduct. The legal system in Egypt was designed to maintain harmony within society, regulate disputes, and uphold the authority of the ruling elite. Unlike modern legal frameworks based on written statutes, Egyptian law was a combination of tradition, royal decrees, and religious doctrines. It was adaptable, relying on the wisdom of judges and officials rather than rigid legal codes.
The origins of legal traditions in ancient Egypt can be traced back to the early dynastic period when the first centralized state emerged. As society became more complex, a structured system of governance was necessary to manage resources, trade, and interpersonal conflicts. The earliest evidence of legal practice comes from administrative records, tomb inscriptions, and temple documents, which indicate that law was an integral part of daily life. While no single codified legal text has survived, references to decrees issued by pharaohs suggest that laws were issued and enforced at the highest levels of authority.
At the heart of Egyptian governance was the role of Ma’at, which extended beyond ethical conduct to legal proceedings. Ma’at represented a cosmic balance that rulers were duty-bound to uphold. The pharaoh, as the earthly representative of the gods, was seen as the ultimate source of justice. His decrees and judgments set legal precedents, shaping the administration of law across the kingdom. This divine connection made Egyptian law unique, as it blended religious principles with practical governance, ensuring that justice was not only a human responsibility but also a sacred duty.
