  When Ryan Dennis's father was crushed by heavy machinery on their New York dairy farm, both men accepted the accident as a risk of agricultural life. But it was harder to comprehend being crushed by low milk prices, big banks, and the policies that destroyed America's family farms. Even though Ryan grew up watching his father and grandfather struggle to survive, he always thought he would follow in their footsteps and take over the family farm. But as he milked cows and fed calves, the world outside the barn was changing. Between 2003 and 2020, 40,000 dairy farms went out of business in the United States.Barn Gothic is an elegy for family farmers and an intimate portrait of three generations laboring to be fathers and sons while their livelihood falls apart. Beautifully told with a farmer's restraint and a poet's grace, it is a story of personal loss amid corporate corruption and of finding a way forward when everything you know disappears.

  'The moment was all; the moment was enough.'
  
  Published after Woolf's death by her husband, Leonard, The Moment and Other Essays offers twenty-nine short pieces of the modernist icon's stunning non-fiction, shrewdly exploring the meaning of art, literature and everyday life.
  
  Elegantly covering topics such as the nature of reality, the power of memory and the priceless value of literature, in this sophisticated collection of essays, Woolf more than ever focuses her attention on the fleeting moments of life that meaningfully shape the human experience. In the title essay, 'The Moment', she pursues the powerful, albeit brief, moments that enable a potent feeling of being utterly understood, and consequently, wholeheartedly alive. In other works, she paints considered portraits of writers such as Turgenev and Thoreau – an affectionate testament to their life and work. Written with her trademark style – contemplative, deeply personal and in places experimental – Woolf invites her readers to find the profound in the seemingly ordinary. This audiobook edition is brilliantly narrated by Tania Rodrigues.
  Virginia Woolf (1882 – 1941) was one of the most significant novelists of the twentieth century. A modernist writer and progressive thinker, she is known for her stream of consciousness narrative style and influence on feminist criticism. Her works have been translated into over fifty languages and are widely read and adapted to this day.

  In 432 BCE the powerful city-state of Sparta on the peninsula of the Peloponnesus in southwestern Greece declared war on Athens, head of a mighty naval coalition. The war would last until Sparta finally brought Athens to its knees in 404. The Athenian aristocrat Thucydides, suspecting the magnitude of the conflict that was unfolding before his eyes, at once undertook to record its history, exploring the causes and course of the war in the context of his great interest: human nature. An introduction to Thucydides's thought and background, this book examines Thucydides's account of the war in the context both of the international situation in the classical Greek world and of the intellectual traditions of the fifth century BCE, exploring the historian's connection to prose writers like Herodotus as well as poets like Homer and the tragedians, and investigating the complex dynamics of the war that changed the Greek world forever.

  Suryaji was barely able to speak.
  
  He began, 'Maharaj, Tanaji realized we may not be able to climb the steep cliffs but he used his favourite ghorpad (Ghorpad is a monitor lizard in Marathi), Yashwanti.
  He tied a rope around its waist and it climbed up, securing a foothold using its sharp talons. We all were able to climb up soon. As soon as we entered the fort, the guards woke up and a fight began. We were outnumbered by the enemy troops- there were Arabs, Afghans, Rajputs and Pathans and we fought like men possessed. Tanaji was a tiger, slaughtering anyone who came his way. When some of the Mawals wanted to run and Tanaji saw Shelar mama down on the ground, he cut off the ropes and shouted, 'You fools! Here your mama lies on the ground and you can think of running away?' That was enough to challenge us and we fought like devils possessed.'

  And Then There Were Some - A...

  Nineteenth century Scottish author Thomas Carlyle once said that religion is the most important thing about a person. By religion, he did not mean the church-creed people profess, but what they do that identifies their relationship to this mysterious universe. Religion is a depiction of one's worldview. It might be inherited from family, adopted from friends or admired persons, ... or it could be a reflection of one's preferred lifestyle. 
  Sadly, the topic of worldviews is a sensitive one, despite its crucial role in charting our destiny. Very few people want to hear what they don't want to hear. And Then There Were Some takes an evidence-based approach to major worldviews. Hundreds of references are drawn from science, history, literature, philosophy, entertainment, exploration, and scripture to encourage the reader to consider the factual bases of the world's major claims. 
  A man was once how he became successful. He answered that, as a boy, when he and his friends hunted birds' eggs he could always find more eggs than any of the other boys. When asked why, he said that he thought it was because he always looked into more bushes. And Then There Were Some is a bush worth looking into.
