  What drives a person to kill again and again? 
  In Psychology of Evil: Profiles of Serial Killers, psychologist and criminal-profiling specialist Florence McLean takes readers deep into the darkest corners of the human mind to examine how serial killers are formed, how they operate, and how they are ultimately hunted. 
  Drawing on decades of professional experience, advanced training in criminal profiling, and meticulous analysis of real cases from across the world, McLean reconstructs some of the most disturbing crimes in modern history. From infamous murder sprees to lesser-known cases, she shows how crime scenes, victimology, and offender behavior reveal patterns that are invisible to the untrained eye. 
  This is not sensational true crime. With clinical precision and moral clarity, McLean dismantles popular myths about profiling and exposes the complex psychological, social, and developmental factors behind serial violence. Most importantly, she argues that understanding is not about excusing evil—but about recognizing warning signs and exploring the possibility of prevention. 
  Gripping, unsettling, and profoundly insightful, this book is essential reading for anyone fascinated by criminal psychology, true crime, or the fragile boundary between humanity and monstrosity.

  Miriam Thaggert illuminates the stories of African American women as passengers and as workers on the nineteenth- and early-twentieth-century railroad. As Jim Crow laws became more prevalent and forced Black Americans to "ride Jim Crow" on the rails, the train compartment became a contested space of leisure and work. Riding Jane Crow examines four instances of Black female railroad travel: the travel narratives of Black female intellectuals such as Anna Julia Cooper and Mary Church Terrell; Black middle-class women who sued to ride in first class "ladies' cars"; Black women railroad food vendors; and Black maids on Pullman trains. Thaggert argues that the railroad represented a technological advancement that was entwined with African American attempts to secure social progress. Black women's experiences on or near the railroad illustrate how American technological progress has often meant their ejection or displacement; thus, it is the Black woman who most fully measures the success of American freedom and privilege, or "progress," through her travel experiences.

  You're exhausted from trying to control things that were never yours to control. 
  You keep pushing at a job that doesn't value you, staying in a relationship that drains you, worrying constantly about what might go wrong tomorrow. Nothing actually changes. Except you. You're more tired, more frustrated, and further from the peace you're chasing. 
  Two thousand years ago, the Stoics discovered something we've forgotten: your peace doesn't depend on what happens to you. It depends on how you respond. Marcus Aurelius ruled an empire during plague and war, yet found inner calm. Epictetus was born a slave, yet became one of history's wisest teachers. Their secret wasn't controlling the world. It was mastering themselves. 
  This audiobook brings ancient Stoic wisdom into your daily life. Not as philosophy to study, but as practical tools you can use today. You'll learn how the Stoics separated what they could control from what they couldn't, how they stayed steady during chaos, and how they built unshakable inner strength. 
  In this book, you will learn to: 
  •	distinguish clearly between what is within your control and what isn't; 
  •	stay calm and grounded during everyday challenges; 
  •	respond to situations thoughtfully instead of reacting automatically; 
  •	build steady inner strength that doesn't depend on circumstances; 
  •	experience genuine inner calm, regardless of external chaos. 
  When you stop trying to control everything, you finally master the one thing that matters: yourself.

  Marcus Tullius Cicero was a Roman statesman, lawyer, scholar, philosopher, and Academic skeptic who became a prominent figure in the political and intellectual life of the late Roman Republic. He is best remembered for his eloquence and his staunch defense of ethical ideals in the face of political turmoil, a period that ultimately led to the rise of the Roman Empire. Cicero’s influence extended far beyond his time as he became one of Rome's most revered orators and prose stylists, producing an extensive body of work encompassing treatises on rhetoric, philosophy, and politics. His works remain fundamental to the study of Latin and Western philosophy today. 
  Cicero was born into a wealthy municipal family within the Roman equestrian order and held the esteemed office of consul in 63 BC, a significant achievement in his career. His oratorical prowess was unrivaled, and his skill in public speaking earned him a reputation that endured through the centuries. His publications spanned a broad range of subjects, from the theoretical aspects of rhetoric to the practical concerns of governance and philosophy. Cicero’s mastery of the Latin language was profound—he is said to have written over three-quarters of all surviving Latin literature from his time. His works, characterized by their clarity and depth, formed the foundation for subsequent Latin prose, influencing European languages and thinkers well into the 19th century.

  Inviting new translations of classical Buddhist texts about why the self is an illusion—and why giving it up can free us from suffering 
   
   
   
  From self-realization and self-promotion to self-help and the selfie, the modern world encourages us to be self-obsessed. We are even told that finding ourselves is the key to happiness. Better to lose yourself! More than 2,500 years ago, the Buddha argued that the self is an illusion—and that our belief in it is the cause of most, if not all, of our suffering. How to Lose Yourself presents lively, accessible, and expert new translations of ancient Buddhist writings about the central, unique, and powerful Buddhist teaching of "no-self." 
   
   
   
  Drawn from three important Buddhist traditions, these essential Indian, Tibetan, and Chinese writings provide a rich sampling of the ways Buddhist philosophers have understood the idea that we are selfless persons—and why this insight is so therapeutic. When we let go of the self, we are awakened to the presence of all things as they truly are, and we let go of the anxiety, fear, greed, and hatred that are the source of all suffering.
