  In 1992 Sripad Jagannatha Das was asked if he would do an exclusive interview with the Maharishi in Switzerland. The author readily agreed as the reclusive spiritual master almost never met the press and was embarking on an ambitious mass meditation program to purify vast areas of the United States. After a great deal of negotiation, the two finally got together on Christmas Eve and had a prolonged, stirring conversation that is documented here. In addition, the Maharishi was joined by the late world-class magician Doug Henning. Put together with a chronological, historical narration by Das, here is your chance to go one on one with one of the greatest spiritual minds of our time. 
   
  Here too is the story of The Beatles circa 1968, as they trekked to a remote, mysterious, and beautiful part of India known as Rishikesh or the valley of the saints. For thousands of years, this riverside valley has been a magnet for advanced yogis, mystics, and seekers of truth. In 1968, it was the absolute zenith of all of this and the pop world as well. It was here the Beatles wrote dozens of now-iconic songs while meditating at the feet of the lauded spiritual master. Along with many of the world's most celebrated people, the group once again led the way as innovators in not only music but innate spirituality as well.   
  Fifty years later, we remember the group's bold trek and artistic accomplishment in this inspirational audio biography from Beatles author and historian Geoffrey Giuliano. The Maharishi, the Beatles, and friends tell their own stories in this one-of-a-kind celebration of a magical time gone by. 
   
  Finally, here are several enlightening lectures by Maharishi all of which are surcharged with the sublime transcendental knowledge with are the masters perpetual stock in trade.

  "Elegant and enlightening." —Dominic Green, Wall Street Journal 
   
   
    
  Phocion (402–318 BCE) won Athens's highest public office by direct democratic election an unmatched forty-five times and was officially honored as a "Useful Citizen." A student at Plato's Academy, Phocion gained influence and power during a time when Athens faced multiple crises stemming from Macedonia's emergence as an international power under Philip II and his son Alexander the Great. Following Athens's defeat by Macedonia, Phocion unsuccessfully sought mild terms of surrender. Oligarchy was imposed on democratic Athens, and more than twelve thousand "undesirable" Athenians were exiled. When the oligarchic regime was overthrown and the exiles returned, dispossessed Athenians took out their volcanic anger on Phocion, who throughout his career had often been a harsh critic of the citizens' political decisions. His inflammatory rhetoric contributed to the popular conclusion that he lacked a genuine sense of belonging to the community he wished so desperately to preserve. When he was eighty-four, the Athenians convicted him of treason and condemned him to die by hemlock. In this fresh biography, Thomas R. Martin explores how and why Phocion ultimately failed as a citizen and as a leader. His story offers unsettling lessons for citizens in democracies today.

  From 1908 to 1933, the American Museum of Natural History launched more scientific field expeditions than at any other time in its existence. Sponsoring lavish trips to Africa and Central Asia, the museum filled its halls with artifacts and an aura of adventure, supported by some of New York City's most prominent men. All the while, the museum's then president, Henry Fairfield Osborn, attempted to use his adventurers' expeditions to fulfill a personal agenda: to propagate his belief in racial hierarchy. 
   
  Palace of Deception uncovers the complicated legacy of three iconic figures of the American Museum: the preeminent explorer Roy Chapman Andrews; Carl Akeley, the pioneering taxidermist; and Osborn, the museum's president. Darrin Lunde tells the story of the American's Museum foundational years. Lunde also shows how the achievements of the museum's adventurers were used to introduce residents of New York to a version of the natural world endorsed by the museum's leader. 
   
  Palace of Deception recreates some of the most celebrated, globe-trotting journeys from natural history's heyday. It also traces the larger, racially infused milieu that underwrote the golden age of exploration, uncovering the simmering anxieties about race behind the era's greatest adventures. It is a legacy that still haunts natural history institutions today.

  Plunge headlong into the heart of Toulouse: this audiobook vividly restores, with captivating precision, the epic of a major Midi city—from its Celtic origins to the Roman era, from Visigothic splendor to the dramas of the Albigensian Crusade, and on to municipal affirmation and medieval intellectual growth. Discover a crossroads city shaped by its Garonne River, ramparts, markets, religious orders, and capitouls; a melting pot of arts, law, and faith where troubadours, builders, merchants, and jurists intertwine. Henri Ramet, a magistrate-historian of luminous rigor, weaves a clear, dense, and sensitive fresco: living topography, resurrected monuments, explained institutions, major crises recounted at street level (Taur, Daurade, Saint-Sernin, Château Narbonnais), never sacrificing emotion to knowledge. Narration breathes life and rhythm into this urban chronicle, turning archives and stones into characters. For those who love concrete history, world-cities, and collective destinies, here is a broad, scholarly, and vibrant journey—where one feels the heartbeat of "Palladian" Toulouse, century after century. An instant classic for understanding, seeing, and loving the pink city differently.
