  Are you getting enough? Bestselling travel writer Ben Aitken wasn't.
  
  
  Increasingly flat and decreasingly zen, Ben gave boredom the boot and stress the cold shoulder by embarking on a whimsical journey into the serious business of having a laugh.
  
  
  He did a pilgrimage in Spain, a summer camp in Kent, and a cruise of the Baltic with 2,000 grannies. And when he wasn't on the road, he searched for merriment at home: by giving bridge a go, volunteering a chance, and gardening a crack of the whip.
  
  
  By incorporating the thoughts of key thinkers and boffins, Here Comes the Fun offers a satisfying balance of the playful and the profound, the serious and the silly, the daft and the deep.

  Kakatiya Dynasty - Fortresses...

  The Kakatiya Dynasty emerged as a formidable power in the Deccan region of India, leaving behind a rich legacy of military strength, administrative brilliance, and cultural contributions. Their origins can be traced back to the 10th century, though historical records regarding their early rulers remain scarce. Initially, the Kakatiyas served as feudatories under the Rashtrakutas and later the Western Chalukyas, gradually expanding their influence over the Telugu-speaking region. 
  The name "Kakatiya" is believed to have originated from their association with the goddess Kakati, a form of Durga, who was worshipped as their family deity. The earliest known ruler, Venna or Beta I, established the dynasty’s foundation, but it was during the reign of Prola I that the Kakatiyas started asserting their independence. Prola II played a crucial role in strengthening their foothold by resisting Chalukyan dominance and expanding Kakatiya control over the eastern Deccan. 
  During this period, the Deccan was a contested space where multiple regional powers sought dominance. The Kakatiyas capitalized on the declining influence of the Western Chalukyas, strategically aligning themselves with or resisting various rulers to carve out an independent identity. Their stronghold was initially located in Hanamkonda, which later evolved into the grand city of Warangal, a center of Kakatiya power and cultural patronage.

  Returning the Self to Nature -...

  Using the lens of ecopsychology, Returning the Self to Nature shows that the pervasive and extreme forms of narcissism we find in many modern societies are fundamentally the result of alienation from the natural world. But it doesn't have to be that way. 
   
   
   
  Returning the Self to Nature is written for the person who no longer wishes to function in a world that revolves around selfish, disconnected identity models and yearns to step into healthy relationships with one's self, one's community, and our planet. 
   
   
     
  Seeing the suffering of the planet and that of humans as inseparably linked—the ecological crisis as psychological crisis, and vice versa—opens the door to a mutuality of healing between people and nature. At the heart of both chronic and acute forms of narcissism is a socially constructed false self. 
   
    
   
  Through unflinching analysis and meditation practices that encourage visualizing and embodying the wild naturalness of being human, the listener will gain skills to begin experiencing a courageous, pluralistic, and ecological self. This book is an invitation to wake up from the dream of the false self and join the movement toward social and planetary healing.

  PREPARE TO BE BEAKED BY THE MAJESTIC EAGLE OF HISTORY 
   
    
   
  Most of us are familiar with the greatest hits and legendary heroes of US history. In George Washington Is Cash Money, Cory O'Brien, author of Zeus Grants Stupid Wishes, does away with the pomp and circumstance and calls America's history what it is: one long, violent soap opera. In his signature clever, crude, and cuss-ridden style, O'Brien reminds us that: 
   
    
    
  ● Teddy Roosevelt stopped bullets with his manly chest 
   
   
   
  ● Harriet Tubman avoided danger by having prophetic seizures. 
   
   
   
  ● Joseph Smith invented Mormonism by staring into a hat full of rocks. 
   
   
   
  ● Billy the Kid was finally defeated by the smell of fresh bacon. 
   
   
    
  And there's plenty more Star Spangled stupidity where that came from.
