Summary

In "Mountain Paths," Maurice Maeterlinck invites readers on a contemplative journey through the metaphysical wilderness of existence, exploring the intricate relationship between nature, spirituality, and the human condition. This eloquent work transcends traditional narrative forms, employing rich imagery and lyrical prose that reflect Symbolist influences, allowing readers to engage deeply with their inner landscapes as well as the physical world. Maeterlinck'Äôs reflections on the perilous ascent of mountains serve as an allegory for personal growth and existential inquiry, capturing the delicate balance between aspiration and the inherent solitude of the human spirit. Maurice Maeterlinck, a Belgian playwright and philosopher awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1911, was deeply influenced by his interest in mysticism and the natural world. His earlier works, such as "The Blue Bird," reveal his fascination with the intersection of the human psyche and the sublime. "Mountain Paths" is a culmination of these themes, showcasing his evolution as a thinker and writer, and reflecting his belief in the profound connections between humanity and nature. Highly recommended for readers seeking introspective literature that delves into the complexities of existence, "Mountain Paths" provides a unique insight into both the external and internal landscapes we traverse. This rich narrative not only invites contemplation but also inspires a deeper appreciation for the natural world and our place within it.

    "Part diary, part scientific journal, part detective story, part love story: The Case of Emily V is thoroughly post-modern in its deliberate blurring of the distinction between fact and fiction, its cavalier blending of literary genres. But Oatley's first novel … also resembles old 19th-century literature. His characters are dynamic, his storylines complex and suspenseful, his soial commentary broad and integral to the plot." - Marie Campbell, Quill& Quire Quotables

    If you've been diagnosed with borderline personality disorder (BPD), or suspect that you might have it, you should know that not everyone experiences the condition in the same way. BPD actually manifests on a spectrum, and while some people may encounter extreme symptoms and consequences on one end, others may be less affected on the other. In addition, if you're struggling with other conditions—such as bipolar disorder, depression, psychotic symptoms, attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), or Complex PTSD (C-PTSD)—you may have complex BPD (C-BPD), and may benefit from expanding your knowledge and building your skills, so you can seek out a symptom management plan that is tailored to your unique needs. 
     
     
     
    In Complex Borderline Personality Disorder, psychologist and BPD expert Daniel J. Fox offers a new understanding and awareness of the complexity of BPD, and helps you lay the groundwork needed to manage your symptoms more effectively. You'll find checklists of specific symptoms to help you identify coexisting conditions related to BPD. And with this guide, you'll feel more empowered to move forward in your life with all the knowledge, skills, and abilities you've learned.

    A desire to be used by multiple men comes to fruition 
    Shaun is working as a farmhand for the summer, having the summer off from college. He's never done physical labor before and it's leaving him sore.

    An offer to meet with a bunch of the other farmhands in the barn late one night is a dream come true. Shaun has always wanted to be used by a gang of men. 
    One night turns into two when he offers them more of his body. After being bred, Rex, the farm manager takes a special interest in him. He wants even more of what Shaun has on offer. 
    His summer job is turning out better than Shaun ever imagined it would.

    This is a bundle of 5 books, which are the following: 
    · Children's Rights: Children represent the future of our societies, yet they remain among the most vulnerable and marginalized populations worldwide. The protection of children's rights has become one of the most critical global issues in the 21st century, demanding urgent attention and action. 
    · Human Trafficking: Human trafficking is one of the gravest human rights abuses of our time, affecting millions of individuals across the globe. It is a hidden yet pervasive crime that exploits people for labor, sex, and other forms of servitude. 
    · Organ Harvesting: Organ harvesting represents one of the most pressing and disturbing ethical challenges of our time. This practice involves the removal of organs from individuals, often without consent, for transplantation or sale on the black market. While organ transplantation has revolutionized modern medicine, saving countless lives, the dark underbelly of the industry reveals a stark contrast—one where human rights are systematically violated, and vulnerable populations are exploited. 
    · Sexism: Sexism, a deeply entrenched social issue, has been pervasive throughout human history, shaping the experiences of individuals and communities across the globe. At its core, sexism refers to the belief that one gender is superior to another, typically manifesting in the unequal treatment and opportunities given to individuals based on their gender. 
    · Racism: Racism has been a persistent and destructive force throughout human history, shaping societies, cultures, and institutions in ways that continue to reverberate today. It manifests in myriad forms—through prejudice, discrimination, systemic inequities, and violence—targeting individuals and groups based on their race or ethnicity.

    Terrible Beauty - Reckoning with...

    Something's gone badly awry with environmentalism. We faithfully separate our waste into different streams, but wonder whether it really makes a difference. Global companies announce their commitment to carbon negativity while simultaneously sponsoring oil conferences. American businesses, communities, and individuals assiduously measure their carbon footprints, then implement voluntary emissions-reduction programs, all while trumpeting their do-gooderism. 
     
     
     
    The problem is, none of this—whether individual efforts or corporate sustainability tactics—will make a dent in solving the civilizational threat of climate change. We only pretend it will, at our peril. 
     
     
     
    As Auden Schendler argues in this provocative, powerful book, we're living a big green lie. The hard truth is that much of the modern environmental road map could have been written by the fossil fuel industry specifically to avoid disrupting the status quo. But there is another truth: while ineffective or duplicitous environmentalism has become standard practice, we all have friends and family we love and care about, whose future depends on solving the problem of climate change. Conscience tells us we have an obligation to repair the world. How can our common dreams be so at odds with our daily practice? And how might we meld our spirit and our passion to create a better future?
