  We Need To Talk - The truth...

  'As inspiring as it is enraging, Emily Hunt turns trauma into action, exposing a criminal justice system that fails women, and a culture that enables violence against us. A rallying call for change, and a powerful lesson in perseverance from a woman who would not give up.' The Guardian 
  Emily was in a restaurant, having lunch with her father – the next thing she remembers is waking up, naked, in a strange hotel room, next to a man she did not know. She suspected she had been drugged and raped. She later found out she had been filmed without her consent. 
  What happened to her that night could have happened to anyone. What came next happens to far too many victims, as failures by the police, CPS and other parts of the system, led to Emily doubting she would ever find justice. 
  Six years after her attack, Emily is an adviser to the UK Government on sexual violence. Part memoir and part investigation, Emily shines a light on the fault lines of a system and a society that is failing rape victims. We Need To Talk looks at how rape is a mainstream, everyday problem deeply damaging victims, their families, their workplaces and the economy. 
  This is a conversation starter about why we don’t talk about rape; that the only cause of rape is rapists, not rape victims; who commits rape and why; the reasons why society defaults to blaming the victim; and ultimately how we need to change and humanise the way we talk about rape in order to truly hear and support victims and end the current epidemic of sexual violence.

  When we hear news stories about displaced people, people running away from war, living in exile, they're always accompanied by big numbers, presented as waves of immigrants. The Last Day Before Exile re-focuses the narrative to the human side, sharing some of the hardest moments of their lives, where they had to make the decision to stay or go.
  
  Tracing the steps of professionals who have moved from the Gaza Strip, Pakistan, Morocco, Iran, Afghanistan Turkey, and Ukraine, Selin Bucak shares stories of rebellion, fear, and, in some cases, victory.
  
  To truly understand what immigrants often have to go through at the hands of governments, legislation, and war, we need to put ourselves into the shoes of the people living in exile.

  The Reason of Reason - How...

  The self-evident existence of reason, logic, and intelligibility are strong evidence for God. Reason is a human faculty that defines humanness and points to a rational universe. This in turn points to the principle of reason, or the "Logos" developed by Heraclitus and other Greek philosophers, and later by the Apostle John. Reason and its corollaries emerge like aspects of language and complement each other, like speaking and listening. Indeed, mutual communication works because of reciprocity, which is a root form of intelligibility. 
  This structure or order is best explained by a rational, divine Mind. This is an exploration of the role of the Logos principle in the human experience and condition that we often refer to as Reality. It is an attempt to answer these four questions: Why do reason and logic work? Why do we believe and trust in them? Why do we expect things to make sense? Why does anything make sense at all? 
  The first part of this book will touch on the relationship between reason and faith, but it is primarily concerned with reason, and logic its foundation. Faith is not the suspension of reason, nor must it be 'blind' to qualify. They are rational complements. Even simple faith has reasons attached to it and involves the use of reason. Faith, in part, is the application of reason to metaphysical questions and propositions. Theists must apply reason when thinking about God (even if He might not actually exist). 
  In modest terms, He probably does exist. There are ample reasons for near-certainty, especially the existence of reason and logic themselves. Add to these intelligibility, order, reciprocity, and a concept that becomes very prominent toward the end of the book, complementarity. The main argument of this book is: Because reason exists, God exists. It's not that through our powers of reason we can be certain of the existence of God, but rather that the existence of reason and its corollaries point compellingly to God.

  Cyrus the Great was a humanitarian, a diplomat, a military strategist, and a ruler of the largest empire the world had ever seen up to that point. 
  Cyrus the Great was a remarkable man who became a legend in his own lifetime. The greatest testament to his good character and great achievements came to us via Persia’s enemies: the Greeks. It is said he served as an inspiration to Alexander the Great and Julius Caesar. Cyrus gained such hero status that his heritage was still claimed by the last shahs of Iran in the 20th century CE. 
  His policies included freedom of religion, equality of wages, and freedom of speech. His cultural and societal activities set in motion what we know today as human rights. The Declaration of Independence of the United States of America incorporates the major points Cyrus II of Persia focused on during his reign. 
  In this audiobook, we delve into facts and mythology regarding his birth, his ascension to the throne, and how he built the largest empire of his time. 
  How do events from over two and a half millennia ago influence the current world we live in? As you listen to the life and environment of Cyrus the Great, you may be tempted to compare modern rulers with this ruler who lived more than 2,500 years ago.
