Synopsis

Winner of IASPM Book Prize, given by IASPM, 2023Winner of the Bruno Nettl Prize, given by the Society for Ethnomusicology, 2023Joint-Winner of the Ruth Stone Prize (with Jessica Perrea), given by the Society for Ethnomusicology, 2023This book is an ethnographic study of sound archives and the processes of creative decolonization that form alternative modes of archiving and curating in the 21st century. It explores the histories and afterlives of sound collections and practices at the International Library of African Music. Sound Fragments follows what happens when a colonial sound archive is repurposed and reimagined by local artists in post-apartheid South Africa. The narrative speaks to larger issues in sound studies, curatorial practices, and the reciprocity and ethics of listening to and reclaiming culture. Sound Fragments interrogates how Xhosa arts activism contributes to an expanding notion of what a sound or cultural archive could be, and where it may resonate now and in future.

    A lot of people have a short attention span, but there are many fascinating stories that should be shared. In The Way I Heard It (2019), TV and podcast host Mike Rowe has written down thirty-five short stories just as he would tell them aloud, full of meandering, exaggerations, wry humor, and accommodations for pesky facts. His subjects range from Beethoven to the baker on the Titanic. They include famous actors, artists, inventors, statues, a space dog, even Adolf Hitler. Each story is accompanied by another from Mike’s life and career, which he calls the glue that holds them all together.

    A concise, star-studded retelling of Italy's past, from Caesar and Augustus to da Vinci and Michelangelo, tracing the story of a country with prodigious global influence—from a foremost author of historic Italy. 
     
     
     
    The calendar. The Senate. The university. The piano, the heliocentric model, and the pizzeria. It's hard to imagine a world without Italian influence—and easy to assume that inventions like these could only come from a strong, stable peninsula, sure of its place in the world. In this breakneck history, bestselling author Ross King dismantles this assumption, uncovering the story of a land rife with inner uncertainty even as its influence spread. 
     
     
     
    As the Italian tale unfolds, prosperity and power fluctuate like the elevation in the Dolomites. If Rome's seven hills could talk, they might speak of the glorious time of Trajan—or bemoan the era of conquest and the Bubonic Plague that decimated Rome's population. Episodes of wealth like the First Triumvirate and the time of the Medicis are given fresh life alongside descriptions the Middle Ages, the early days of Venice, the invasion of Napoleon, and the long struggle for unification. King paints a colorful, fascinating portrait of a country that remains compelling not just to tens of millions of Italian Americans, but to the millions of Americans who visit Italy every year.

    Why Women Prefer a Cheater

    Why do women stay with men who cheat on them? 
    Why do so many fall for married men, agree to be the mistress, or even enjoy sex more outside of marriage than within it? 
    Why Women Prefer a Cheater isn't a polite conversation. It's a deep, unapologetic, and disturbingly honest exploration of female desire—rooted in biology, shaped by history, warped by psychology, and censored by culture. 
    This book does not offer empty empowerment slogans or fairy-tale relationship advice. Instead, it tackles the raw and uncomfortable truths:That women are biologically drawn to dominant, often unfaithful men.That affairs can offer psychological escape from the suffocation of modern monogamy.That cultural shame trains women to silently blame themselves for male betrayal.That "loyalty" often rewards women with nothing but resentment and self-erasure. 
    Through chapters like The Dual Mating Strategy, The Psychology of the Mistress, Sex, Marriage, and the Decline of Desire, and The Hidden Cost and Secret Freedom, A.A. Castor exposes the brutal realities behind cheating, desire, and the unspoken decisions women make to survive love, betrayal, and expectation. 
    Blending science, dark humor, and harsh truths, this book isn't for the faint of heart. It's for every woman who's ever been the wife, the other woman, or the one who stopped believing in fairy tales. 
    Forget what society taught you about love. 
    Forget what you were told about loyalty. 
    This book isn't here to comfort—it's here to wake you up.

    The Communist Manifesto, written by Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels and translated into English by Samuel Moore in 1888 under Engels’ supervision, is one of the most influential political texts in modern history. Originally published in 1848, this concise manifesto lays out the principles of communism, the theory of historical materialism, and the role of class struggle as the driving force of history. Marx and Engels call for the working class to unite against capitalist oppression and envision a future society free from class divisions. Samuel Moore’s translation, authorized and edited by Engels himself, has become the standard English version, preserving the clarity and force of the original German text.

    Migration is still top on the list of life-changing decisions anyone can make. Between complex immigration processes and successful settling in the new country is a chasm that swallows the unfortunate and the ignorant. So, while some migrants find green pastures, many are lost in the desert of “survival” jobs and trapped in the vicious cycle of frustration. 
    From two decades of lived experiences (as a skilled immigrant himself, residential professional, and expat work in Africa, Australia, The Middle East, Europe, USA, and Asia, and his extensive NGO work), Ephraim Osaghae addresses tough questions about navigating your new country for successful and stable careers. 
    He believes that when you learn from real stories of real people and selfless insiders, you can prepare yourself better on how to deal with change, relocation, and other major shifts in life. You can take the necessary actions to maximize gains, minimize pains, and achieve your goals. 
    This quick and easy-to-read guide book: 
    •Unpacks the foundational principles of maximizing your strengths, managing your weaknesses, and achieving your goals. 
    •Reveals master frameworks for communication, qualifications, work experience, and networking. 
    •Teaches you to understand the critical place of showing up! 
    While intending, new and relatively more settled immigrants are the ideal audience for this book, non-immigrants and other stakeholders will also find useful hints and tips for job-seeking and cultural intelligence.
