  In this 1997 conversation with Michael and Justine Toms, Alice Walker says “Something was lost when we took to heart traditional religious stories in which God is separate from nature. And something precious is regained when we honor our intrinsic sense of awe and worship toward nature, and our deep desire for connection with both nature and our human community.” 
  Walker is the author of many books including the Pulitzer Prize-winning The Color Purple (Simon & Schuster 1982) and Anything We Love Can Be Saved (Random House 1997). 
  Topics explored in this dialogue include: 
  •	The real nature of human nature 
  •	A new look at the stories of Adam and Eve, Sarah and Hagar 
  •	Why religious stories can be dangerous, and food should be free 
  •	Church life in the deep South 
  •	The story of one of Walker1s ancestors in slavery 
  •	A compassionate perspective on Winnie Mandela 
  •	Fidel Castro as champion of the Cuban people 
  •	Prison labor in the U.S. and China

  The Khmer Empire - History of...

  Historians describe Cambodia as the Khmer State or the Angkorian Empire (Khmer:) from the 9th century to the 15th century, when it was a Hindu/Buddhist empire in Southeast Asia. The empire, which developed from the old societies of Funan and Chenla, governed and/or "vassalized" the majority of mainland Southeast Asia and parts of Southern China, covering from the suggestion of the Indochinese Peninsula northward to modern-day Yunnan province in China, and from Vietnam westward to Myanmar. The Khmer Empire was greater at its peak than the Byzantine Empire (Eastern Roman Empire) that existed at the exact same period. 
  The site of Angkor, in modern-day Cambodia, which worked as the Khmer capital throughout the empire's prime time, is maybe its most long-lasting tradition. The stunning Angkor structures, like Angkor Wat and Bayon, attest to the Khmer Empire's incredible strength and wealth, remarkable art and culture, architectural strategy, visual accomplishments, and the series of belief systems that it bought from in time. Angkor was the world's biggest pre-industrial cosmopolitan center between the 11th and 13th centuries, according to satellite photography. 
  Let’s learn more about what we know about the happenings in this vast empire from so long ago.

  Explore England Like a Local -...

  This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice. 
  In the Wiltshire village of Avebury, there's a thatched pub standing inside a prehistoric stone circle, with an old well lit up beneath a glass panel in the floor. In Painswick, locals say nobody ever counts the churchyard yews and gets the same number twice. On a clear evening on Parliament Hill, Londoners gather on the benches to watch the city lights come on. These are the places Hugo Reinhardt wants to show you. 
   
  Explore England Like a Local is a travel guide written for the ear: for the train, the car, or the evening before you fly. Across 17 chapters, Hugo takes you from the white cliffs of Kent to Cornwall, the Lake District and Hadrian's Wall. You'll see the famous sights, done the smart way, and then the lanes, cliff paths and market towns where English life actually happens. 
  You'll learn how to: 
   
  •	Order at a pub bar without breaking the unwritten rules, and work out what an English person really means by "not bad" 
  •	See Westminster, the Tower and Stonehenge without the worst of the crowds, then find the gap in a Richmond Park hedge that frames St Paul's Cathedral ten miles away 
  •	Walk among Avebury's stones with nobody but the sheep, hunt fossils at Charmouth, and cross the causeway to St Michael's Mount as the tide pulls back 
  •	Ride the ferry across the Mersey, sit beside the bronze L. S. Lowry at Sam's Chop House in Manchester, and eat a stottie with pease pudding in Newcastle 
  •	Split your train tickets to pay less, and use England's public footpaths to reach places the coaches never go 
   
  Every chapter ends with Hidden Gems & Local Secrets: three or four tips you can use the same day, such as the quiet entrance, the better viewpoint, or the pub with a dartboard and a dog asleep by the fire.
