  “Here at the stud ranch, you’ll learn how to train even the most aggressive males. You’ll learn how to wear away independence, coaxing them into a state of docile obedience.” 
  It sounded like an incredible opportunity—working as a ranch hand up in the mountains for the summer. I didn’t realize why I was actually hired though… 
  Alone in the barn with three older ranchers, I stand naked while they run a brush through my hair and tell me what a pretty pony boy I am. It feels so good…I want this. 
  The heavy scent of their sweat causes my legs to tremble as I sink to the filthy ground. On my hands and knees, I’m ready to be mounted for the first time. 
  I’m a college football stallion. 
  I’m being broken.

  The Way We Are

  Australia's leading social psychologist examines our society today and asks timely and urgent questions about its future 
   
  Life is messy. Relationships are complex. Outcomes are uncertain. Yet none of our differences-whether based on ethnicity, politics, religion, cultural tastes and preferences, or gender-are nearly as significant as the humanity we share. 
   
  Amidst our epidemics of loneliness, anxiety and depression, and the impacts of entrenched poverty and ubiquitous technology, The Way We Are examines the major trends that are shaking the foundations of the Australian way of life. 
   
   
  Drawing on thousands of interviews over a lifetime of research, Hugh Mackay, much loved and highly respected social psychologist, presents a compelling portrait of Australia today. He celebrates the march towards gender equality and explains the stubborn persistence of misogyny, the anti-social consequences of social media, the complex legacy of the Baby Boomers, and the 'fake wisdom' that guides too much of our thinking. Exploring the steady decline in religious faith and practice, Hugh identifies the many gods we continue to worship, and points to the positive role that dreaming can play in our lives. Though some of his observations may not be easy reading, Hugh's analysis is suffused with affection for our country. 
   
   
  Inspiring, provocative and powerfully argued, The Way We Are is the most important-and uplifting-book you'll read all year. It will encourage you to reflect deeply on the question: What kind of society do we want to become?

  Battle of Flodden The: The...

  The relationship between Scotland and England has always been rocky. For most of their history they have been at loggerheads and frequently at war, and, even after the Act of Union of 1707 which united the two nations, there were at least four Scottish uprisings. Today, the Scottish threat to separate from the post-Brexit UK is well-known. England has historically viewed the northern nation as a threat, and Scotland for its part has feared, with justification, its richer and more powerful neighbor.  
  	Famous encounters between the two countries include Falkirk (1298), Bannockburn (1314), Solway Moss (1542), Prestonpans (1745) and Culloden (1746), but the Battle of Flodden, or Flodden Field, fought on September 9, 1513, was the largest and perhaps most spectacular of the clashes between the ancient enemies. It involved the deployment of 56,000 men and vies with the 1461 Battle of Towton during the Wars of the Roses as the largest battle ever fought on British soil. The English had never entirely conquered Scotland, and since Bannockburn they had been unable to claim any degree of control, but it was not until 1328 that they finally acknowledged Scotland's independence. 
  On top of that, the nature of political marriages in England, and Europe in general, tied nations together even as they remained enemies. Indeed, throughout the 16th century, Scottish rulers would be eyed with suspicion by English royals who were fully aware that no shortage of Englishmen considered the Scottish royals the true heirs to England’s throne. Flodden Field would be one of the biggest battles in English and Scottish history, yet the two countries would still be at war a generation later.

  The Unbroken Reich - What If...

  As World War I raged across Europe, 1917 emerged as the critical year that could have determined the war’s ultimate outcome. In our reality, the entry of the United States and the crumbling of the Eastern Front led to Germany’s eventual defeat. But what if events had unfolded differently? A few pivotal moments could have swung the war in Germany’s favor, altering the course of history entirely. 
  One of the most significant factors was the failure of the German spring offensives in 1918. If these attacks had broken through Allied lines, Germany might have forced Britain and France to negotiate peace before American troops arrived in full strength. The Germans, under General Ludendorff, came close to achieving this, but logistical challenges and the resilience of the Allies ultimately led to exhaustion on the German side. Had Germany secured victory on the Western Front in early 1918, a new Europe could have emerged under German dominance. 
  Another key element was the Russian Revolution. With the fall of the Tsar and the rise of the Bolsheviks, Russia exited the war, allowing Germany to shift troops westward. However, if Germany had been able to negotiate a more favorable peace with Russia earlier—perhaps by supporting a less radical government—it could have stabilized the Eastern Front sooner, securing vital resources and preventing the chaotic collapse that followed. A stable Russian ally or puppet state could have relieved Germany’s strategic burden and ensured long-term control over Eastern Europe.

  The Maurya Empire - History of...

  The Maurya Empire was a South Asian Iron Age historic empire centered in Magadha, created by Chandragupta Maurya in the year 322 before Christ and lasting till 185 before Christ in a loose-knit way. The conquest of the Indo-Gangetic Plain focused the Maurya Empire, and Pataliputra functioned as its capital city (modern-day Patna). Beyond this royal core, the empire's geographical reach was limited by the dedication of army leaders who ruled the armed cities that dot the landscape. 
  Other than for the far south, the empire briefly controlled the significant city centers and arteries of the Indian subcontinent throughout Ashoka's rule (which was from around 268 to 232 before Christ). 
  After Ashoka's reign, it sank for practically 50 years before liquifying in 185 before Christ with the murder of Brihadratha by Pushyamitra Shunga and the facility of the Shunga dynasty in Magadha. 
  Let’s explore the details of this empire that’s relatively unknown in the west, but certainly something people in South Asia are often familiar with.
