The Yoga Store Murder - The...

Dan Morse

It was a crime that shocked the country. On March 21, 2011, two young saleswomen were found inside a lululemon athletica store in Bethesda, Maryland, one of the nation's wealthiest suburbs. Jayna Murray, thirty, was dead—stabbed, slashed, and struck more than 300 times. Brittany Norwood, twenty-eight, was alive—tied up on a bathroom floor, her clothing ripped, her face bloodied. This is the full, true story of what happened. 
 
 
 
"In the field of true crime you never know what you'll get—a badly written clip job or thoughtful reportage that goes beyond the crime scene to the impact of crime on people and society. This book lines up on the latter side. It was one of the best written and researched true crime books I've read in quite a while." —MICHAEL CONNELLY, bestselling author and executive producer of the Bosch drama series 
 
 
 
"An incredible piece of true crime." —Cosmopolitan 
 
 
 
"[Morse] brings a journalist's instincts to this moment-by-moment chronicle." —The Washington Post 
 
 
 
"[Listeners] will tear through the book—as I did—to learn the solution to the dark mystery at its core." —HAROLD SCHECHTER, author of The Mad Sculptor: The Maniac, the Model, and the Murder that Shook a Nation

Analysis of Tarot Cards An

Manly Palmer Hall

Opinions of authorities differ widely concerning the origin of playing cards, the purpose for which they were intended, and the time of their introduction into Europe. In his Researches into the History of Playing Cards, Samuel Weller Singer advances the opinion that cards reached Southern Europe from India by way of Arabia. It is probable that the Tarot cards were part of the magical and philosophical lore secured by the Knights Templars from the Saracens or one of the mystical sects then flourishing in Syria. Returning to Europe, the Templars, to avoid persecution, concealed the arcane meaning of the symbols by introducing the leaves of their magical book ostensibly as a device for amusement and gambling. 
Through the Gypsies the Tarot cards may be traced back to the religious symbolism of the ancient Egyptians. In his remarkable work, The Gypsies, Samuel Roberts presents ample proof of their Egyptian origin. In one place he writes: "When Gypsies originally arrived in England is very uncertain. They are first noticed in our laws, by several statutes against them in the reign of Henry VIII.; in which they are described as 'an outlandish people, calling themselves Egyptians,--who do not profess any craft or trade, but go about in great numbers, * * *.'" A curious legend relates that after the destruction of the Serapeum in Alexandria, the large body of attendant priests banded themselves together to preserve the secrets of the rites of Serapis. Their descendants (Gypsies) carrying with them the most precious of the volumes saved from the burning library--the Book of Enoch, or Thoth (the Tarot)--became wanderers upon the face of the earth, remaining a people apart with an ancient language and a birthright of magic and mystery.

Misunderstood Transgender

Raphael Terra

This audiobook has been recorded using Text to speech (TTS).

The world of mankind is changing. Terminology is changing, adapting, evolving and being created. Nothing in society is changing more than gender terminology and almost nothing is causing more division.

It is changing what previous generations deemed to be unacceptable. Indeed much of what is now accepted and even promoted would have once placed millions in prison and worse. It was not so long ago that one of the world's greatest minds, Alan Turin, was chemically castrated for being gay. The man helped us to rid the world of the Nazi scourge and yet he ended his life in misery because of a society that saw him as disgusting.

Generations argue with each other today over the same issues and more. Today we argue about whether somebody who claims to feel to be a member of the opposite sex should be allowed in their toilets and changing rooms. The right wing traditionalists are aghast at the very idea. And yet today's youth seem to accept it easily. The difference is upbringing and influence. There is now a bewildering array of titles, names and designations to understand. From LGBTQ, gay, homosexual, transsexual, transgender and gender fluid to MtF, FtM, pangender, agender and tranvestism. There is little wonder that the previous generation is having difficulty understanding just what is happening, especially when we consider that even those within these categories argue about definitions.

In this book we are going to lift the veil on the world of the Transgender and reveal the secrets of a world most misunderstand.

Sunk Cost - Who's to Blame for...

Jillian Berman

Student-loan horror stories are a dime a dozen. But students today are faced with a seemingly insurmountable paradox: Research consistently shows that the clearest viable option to financial stability is a college degree. But if and when Americans decide to pursue diplomas, student loan payments quickly follow, and even after securing full-time employment, many borrowers struggle to make ends meet for years. In Sunk Cost, journalist Jillian Berman explores how the nation's student loan program went from a well-intentioned initiative aimed at helping low- and middle-income students afford college to one that traps borrowers in long-term debt. 
 
 
  
Berman interviewed dozens of borrowers and policymakers and dug into the archives to unearth the true causes of the student loan problem. A couple of generations ago, policy makers generously subsidized Americans' college educations because they knew it would be advantageous for the entire country: a more educated population meant better quality of life for all. But today, higher education is viewed as an individual goal, so students and their families are expected to be on the hook for it themselves. Berman explains how this enormous shift happened, which industries benefit from it, and what it means for college-going Americans today.
