Synopsis

The 'Kama Sutra,' a timeless anthology of ancient wisdom and sensual exploration, presents a collection of meditations on love, desire, and the complexities of human relationships. This edition uniquely integrates diverse literary styles, ranging from poetic prose to practical discourse, reflecting a broad spectrum of human emotions and social customs. Through its insightful portrayals, each piece captures the essence of passion in its cultural context, with standout elements engaging readers in a dialogue between the spiritual and the bodily realms. Compiled with meticulous scholarship, this edition balances historical richness with thematic depth, providing an illuminating journey through the art of living fully and with sensitivity to both personal and societal dimensions of intimacy. The anthology brings together the masterful ancient Sanskrit treatise of Vatsyayana with the pioneering translations and commentaries of Richard Francis Burton, a noted Victorian explorer and scholar. Their combined contributions underscore the cultural and historical milieus from which these texts emerge. Vatsyayana's exploration reflects the classical Indian philosophical backdrop, while Burton'Äôs Victorian perspective and detailed commentary open windows to cross-cultural understandings of sexual mores. This collaboration spans continents and centuries, offering readers a panoramic view of ancient to Victorian insights, as seen through the lenses of distinct yet complementary intellectual traditions. This comprehensive collection invites readers to immerse themselves in the multifaceted narratives of love and desire, serving as both an educational resource and a journey into the human psyche'Äôs deepest realms. It is a unique opportunity to engage with a dialogue that transcends time, drawing connections between ancient philosophies and their continuous relevance. As such, the 'Kama Sutra' becomes not just a literary exploration but a vital discourse that stimulates discussions on intimacy, ethics, and personal freedom across diverse cultural landscapes. This anthology is an essential acquisition for those seeking to understand the plurality of perspectives that define the art and science of love.

    From “one of the most brilliant young psychologists of her generation” (Paul Bloom), a groundbreaking examination of how speech causes some of our deepest social divides—and how it can help us overcome them.   We gravitate toward people like us; it’s human nature. Race, class, and gender shape our social identities, and thus who we perceive as “like us” or “not like us”. But one overlooked factor can be even more powerful: the way we speak. As the pioneering psychologist  Katherine Kinzler reveals in How You Say It, the way we talk is central to our social identity because our speech largely reflects the voices we heard as children. We can change how we speak to some extent, whether by “code-switching” between dialects or learning a new language; over time, your speech even changes to reflect your evolving social identity and aspirations. But for the most part, we are forever marked by our native tongue—and are hardwired to prejudge others by theirs, often with serious consequences. Your accent alone can determine the economic opportunity or discrimination you encounter in life, making speech one of the most urgent social-justice issues of our day. Our linguistic differences present challenges, Kinzler shows, but they also can be a force for good. Humans can benefit from being exposed to multiple languages —a paradox that should inspire us to master this ancient source of tribalism, and rethink the role that speech plays in our society.  Narrated by multiple Audie and Earphones Award winner Andi Arndt is the narrator of hundreds of audiobooks in fiction and non-fiction, and a member of the Audible Narrator Hall of Fame.

    What Color Is Your Parachute? meets I Will Teach You To Be Rich for twentysomethings. Raffi Grinberg, who created and taught the ever-oversubscribed college course "Adulting 101," offers a practical guide to adult life's greatest mysteries that were never taught in school, including how to launch your career, find your purpose (for right now), invest your money, and much more. 
     
     
     
    Though twenty- and thirty-somethings are better educated than ever before, essentially none of the topics critical to being a full-fledged adult—such as how to get a new job, create a budget, file your taxes, face rejection, and navigate family dynamics—are covered in lower or higher education. Fortunately, here is a book that does just that. 
     
     
     
    From entrepreneur Raffi Grinberg, who lived and learned the hard way throughout his twenties, here is a crash course in everything you need to know to be a grown up. Based on his wildly popular "Adulting 101" course at Boston College, Grinberg firmly steers you through the basics of being a grown up using interactive chapters, bite-size nuggets of wisdom, humor, and stories from his twenties, including nearly going broke, having bad credit, disappointing his parents, and much more. As Raffi tells his students, "I want you to have a quarter-life crisis now so that you won't have a mid-life crisis later."

    The first-person account of how a small band of Green Berets used horses and laser-guided bombs to overthrow the Taliban and al-Qaeda in Afghanistan after 9/11. 
     
     
     
    They landed in a dust storm so thick the chopper pilot used dead reckoning and a guess to find the ground. Welcomed by a band of heavily armed militiamen, they climbed a mountain on horseback to meet the most ferocious warlord in Asia. They plotted a war of nineteenth-century maneuvers against a twenty-first-century foe. They trekked through minefields, sometimes past the mangled bodies of local tribesmen who'd shared food with them hours before. They saved babies and treated fractures, sewed up wounded who'd been transported from the battlefield by donkey. They found their enemy hiding in thick bunkers, dodged bullets from machine-gun-laden pickup trucks, and survived mass rocket attacks from vintage Soviet-era launchers. They battled the Taliban while mediating blood feuds between rival allies. They fought with everything they had, from smart bombs to AK-47s.The men they helped called them brothers. Hollywood called them the Horse Soldiers. 
     
     
     
    They called themselves Green Berets—Special Forces ODA 595.
