  Did you know that Shah Jahan once planned to build another Taj Mahal in his empire? 
  The Taj Mahal is renowned for its exceptional architecture that infuses elements from various influences around the world, including the magnificence of Mughal, Persian, and Islamic architectural styles. 
  Shah Jahan, the reigning emperor of the Mughal Empire, had been plagued with sadness following the death of his beloved wife, Mumtaz Mahal. And so, as a parting gift to her, the mourning emperor commissioned the construction of a grand mausoleum made of white marble. 
  Upon completion, the Taj Mahal stood on the banks of the Yamuna River, impressing those who gazed at its marvelous façade glimmering under the bright sun. A reflective pool enhanced its perfections, but it was the mausoleum’s symmetrical design that captivated many. The symmetry could be seen in each corner of the complex except for Mumtaz Mahal’s extravagant tomb chamber—the symmetrical design was broken when Shah Jahan’s cenotaph was added years later. 
  Some said it was intentional, while others claimed Shah Jahan never intended to be buried beside his wife. Legend has it that the emperor was planning to build another mausoleum for himself that mirrored the Taj Mahal; it was to be placed across from the Taj Mahal and made of black marble. However, whether this is true remains a debate. Ancient sources contradict each other, which can be confusing for curious readers. 
  But that is about to change. With this all-new history audiobook, you can easily explore the gripping events that led to the construction of the Seven Wonders of the New World.

  Looking across time and the globe, a critical history of sexual violence—what causes it and how we overcome it. 
   
   
    
  Disgrace is the first truly global history of sexual violence. The book explores how sexual violence varies widely across time and place, from nineteenth-century peasant women in Ireland who were abducted as a way of forcing marriage, to date-raped high-school students in twentieth-century America, and from girls and women violated by Russian soldiers in 1945 to Dalit women raped by men of higher castes today. It delves into the factors that facilitate violence—including institutions, ideologies, and practices—but also gives voice to survivors and activists, drawing inspiration from their struggles. Ultimately, Joanna Bourke intends to forge a transnational feminism that will promote a more harmonious, equal, and rape—and violence-free world.

  The Puritans - History of the...

  The Puritans were English Protestants who emerged in the 16th and 17th centuries, deeply dissatisfied with the scope of the English Reformation. They believed that the Church of England had not fully distanced itself from Roman Catholic customs and needed further reform to become a more authentic expression of Protestant beliefs. In their view, many of the Catholic practices, such as hierarchical structures, rituals, and liturgies, had been retained within the Church of England, making it insufficiently Protestant. Their aim was to purify the Church, which led them to form various groups advocating for deeper piety in both personal worship and theological belief. 
  A central element of Puritanism was its adherence to Calvinist theology, which was rooted in Reformed Christian principles. This alignment with Calvinism marked them as part of a broader movement that sought to reject Roman Catholic influences, but also led to tension with other Protestant groups, particularly those within the Church of England who were not as radical in their reforms. Many Puritans advocated for a more decentralized church structure. Some even pushed for independent congregations, which would exist outside the framework of the established Church of England and avoid its perceived corruptions. 
  The Puritans’ influence reached a peak during the Protectorate, when the political and religious landscape of England underwent significant shifts. By the late 1630s, Puritans had developed an alliance with emerging business interests, legislative resistance to the monarchy, and Scottish Presbyterians, with whom they shared theological and political concerns. These alliances helped the Puritans gain substantial power during the First English Civil War (1642–1646). Their victory in the war and the subsequent rise of Puritan influence under Oliver Cromwell allowed them to have a profound impact on English governance and society.

  The Essential Fromm - Life...

  Essays on human alienation, mode of existence, consumerism, narcissism, and more from "both a psychologist of penetration and a writer of ability" (Chicago Tribune). 
   
   
   
  As Erich Fromm points out, ours is "a life between having and being"—between mere having and healthy being, between destructiveness and creativity, between narcissism and productive self-understanding, between passivity and the joy of positive activity. 
   
   
   
  The alternatives of having and being are basic orientations of our character and determine our behavior. The mostly unpublished and unknown texts featured in The Essential Fromm encapsulate the psychologist's views on the fulfilling life. To put down roots yet remain free is what the late Erich Fromm called the art of being. It is the secret of happiness.
