  Taking a profound look at the African American experience and the far-reaching impacts of colonization and Western Civilization, this intimate relationship portrayed through poetry offers a truthful reflection that resonates not only in the United States but also throughout the diaspora. This raw and spiritual interpretation prompts the listener to contemplate and raises more questions than it answers. 
  Through a blend of poetic voice, ancestral wisdom, and spiritual discovery, How To Become The Conqueror: An African American Revelation serves as both an emotional revelation and a call to consciousness. Performed and narrated by the author, Amsara Sekhita Mai Holly, with original vocals by the sister group Holly Girlz, this audiobook delivers a stirring sonic journey that uplifts, awakens, and challenges. 
  Amsara Sekhita Mai Holly is a multidisciplinary artist, poet, actress, author, filmmaker and businesswoman. As a member of the music group and creative collective Holly Girlz, she works in deep collaboration with her sisters to produce art in many artistic and creative mediums. As a performer and storyteller, Amsara bridges activism, spirituality, and artistry in this book - channeling cultural reclamation and liberated creative expression. With roots in performance, literature, and African traditions, Amsara’s voice carries the weight of history and the fire of transformation. 
  This debut audiobook is more than a collection of poetry, it is a ritual, a mirror, and a movement through rhythm. With How To Become The Conqueror, Amsara steps into the role of both witness and warrior, using her voice to explore the spiritual and psychological terrain of the African American experience with an unflinching gaze - using the spoken word as medicine, revolution and reverence. For those ready to reclaim, remember, and rise, this audiobook offers a sacred beginning.

  The Critique of Pure Reason

  Immanuel Kant

  The Critique of Pure Reason is a philosophical work written by Immanuel Kant, published in 1781. The book is divided into two main parts: the first part deals with what Kant calls "Transcendental Aesthetic," which is concerned with the nature of space and time and the way in which our minds perceive them. The second part deals with what Kant calls "Transcendental Logic," which is concerned with the nature of our understanding and how we reason about the world. 
  In the Critique of Pure Reason, Kant aims to investigate the limits and conditions of knowledge, particularly in the context of metaphysics. He argues that all knowledge must be based on experience, but that our understanding is not limited to the information that we can gain through our senses. Rather, he posits that we have certain innate concepts and categories that allow us to make sense of the world and that shape our perception and understanding of reality. 
  Kant's approach to metaphysics is known as transcendental idealism, which holds that the world as it appears to us is not necessarily the same as it is in itself. He argues that we can only know the world as it appears to us, not as it is in itself, and that our knowledge is necessarily limited by the nature of our minds and our perception. 
  Overall, the Critique of Pure Reason is a complex and influential work that has had a profound impact on philosophy, particularly in the fields of epistemology and metaphysics. It is considered a foundational text of modern philosophy and is still widely studied and debated today.

  In the over 100 years since it sank on its maiden voyage, the Titanic has been the subject of endless fascination, as evidenced by the efforts to find its final resting spot, the museums full of its objects, and the countless books, documentaries, and movies made about the doomed ocean liner. Thanks to the dramatization of the Titanic’s sinking and the undying interest in the story, millions of people are familiar with various aspects of the ship’s demise, and the nearly 1,500 people who died in the North Atlantic in the early morning hours of April 15, 1912. The sinking of the ship is still nearly as controversial now as it was over 100 years ago, and the drama is just as compelling.  
  	In the century since the Titanic sank, public interest in the ship and its history has waxed and waned on a regular basis. There was a flurry of activity right after it went down, as people tried to wrap their minds around what happened, but the World Wars pushed attention elsewhere. Then, during the 1950s, scientists had the time and money to become interested in it again. While there were numerous attempts to find that ship during the 1970s, the mighty ship still kept her secrets, her dead and their possessions safely at the bottom of the sea, where only strange creature comfortable in the depths could disturb them. 
  	As it turned out, the most famous wreck in the world would not be located until 1985, over 70 years after the ship sank that fateful April night. The discovery ignited a new flurry of interest in Titanic, including an interest in what the wreck still held, who those items belonged, to and what should be done with them. The 1997 blockbuster movie about the ship only stirred up more interest and controversy, both of which continue to this day.

  Fundraising events are designed to generate financial support by offering something in return to donors. Donors contribute not just out of goodwill but with the expectation of receiving a benefit or service in exchange. The nature of this exchange depends on the type of fundraising event organized. 
  For instance, a classic example is the car wash fundraiser, where donors pay for their cars to be cleaned as part of the event. Other popular types of fundraising include benefit dinners, performances, bake sales, auctions, and sporting events. Each of these events provides something of value in return for the contributions received. A contemporary example of this is the televised fundraiser, where celebrities encourage viewers to pledge donations, which are then deposited into designated accounts.

  In the century since its founding in 1924, the Roman Catholic diocese of Lancaster has had seven bishops and one auxiliary bishop. In a series of biographical portraits, Paul Severn tells the story of each of the bishops, explores their background and their impact on the life of the diocese in a century of change in the Church and in the wider world.
  
   
  Looking back on a century that has seen two world wars, profound changes in society, the “revolution” of the Second Vatican Council, increasing secularization and declining numbers of those attending church, and the beginnings of synodality, he reflects on the lives of the individual bishops and also on the role and responsibility of Roman Catholic bishops in the twenty-first century.
