    ‘Harden the F#*k Up!’ 
    In today's society, it can be tough to be a man. How often have you heard boys and men told to be tough and strong, or not show weakness, or to not cry? …To ask for help or talk about it will show you are weak. 
    These beliefs and attitudes have been ingrained from a very young age, and it is destroying our men and their families. Depression and mental health issues are rising. In Australia we lose more than seven men to suicide each day. 
    This needs to change… NOW! 
    Soften the F#*k Up! is a guidebook for adults struggling with the aftermath of emotional trauma. Brett Dellar lived with depression for 30 years, almost all of his adult life, as a result of unresolved childhood trauma, never addressing the underlying cause or understanding the impact of being seen as a ‘man’ in today’s society. 
    Brett shares the journey of how he overcame his depression at the age of 50 and the lessons, tools and skills he learned along the way. 
    Soften the F#*k Up! is a book about the challenges men face and the importance of mental and emotional health. It will provide a deeper understanding and insight into how and why men struggle with mental and emotional challenges, as well as provide the tools and skills to help turn life around. 
    This is a hope-filled, love-filled and purpose-filled memoir by a man who is candid about his own struggles and also offers insights and advice for men in today's society. You will not only be inspired to change your life, but also be shown how to take the steps necessary to do so.

    'Lyrical and uncompromising - Suhaiymah writes to disrupt' - gal-dem 
    Islamophobia is everywhere. It is a narrative and history woven so deeply into our everyday lives that we don’t even notice it – in our education, how we travel, our healthcare, legal system and at work. Behind the scenes it affects the most vulnerable, at the border and in prisons. Despite this, the conversation about Islamophobia is relegated to microaggressions and slurs. 
    In this audiobook, beautifully narrated by the author, Suhaiymah Manzoor-Khan reveals how Islamophobia not only lives under the skin of those who it marks, but is an international political project designed to divide people in the name of security, in order to materially benefit global stakeholders. It can only be truly uprooted when we focus not on what it is but what it does. 
    Tangled in Terror shows that until the most marginalised Muslims are safe, nobody is safe.

    The Blueprint for the Just Society: Explore profound meditations on governance, the education of the "Philosopher King," and the delicate balance between individual freedom and social order.
    
    Ethics and the Human Soul: Engage with timeless inquiries into the nature of virtue, the immortality of the soul, and the pursuit of the "Good Life."
    
    Plato's writing remains as vital today as it was in the Academy of Athens.

This volume is the essential cornerstone for any library of humanities, political science, and classical studies.

    **Wage-Labour and Capital & Value, Price, and Profit** by Karl Marx is a compelling introduction to Marxist economic theory, combining two of his most influential works. In *Wage-Labour and Capital*, Marx explores the relationship between labor and capital, illuminating how the commodification of labor under capitalism generates profit for capitalists at the expense of workers. In *Value, Price, and Profit*, Marx delves deeper into the mechanisms of capitalist economies, discussing the labor theory of value, the creation of surplus value, and the inherent exploitation of wage labor. Together, these texts offer a powerful critique of capitalism's structure and dynamics, providing readers with foundational insights into Marxist economics and the social implications of labor exploitation. This edition is an essential resource for anyone seeking to understand the theories that have shaped modern political and economic thought.

    "What is Property?" is a book written by Pierre Joseph Proudhon, a French philosopher and political theorist. The book is a critique of property rights and capitalist economic systems, and it argues for a more egalitarian and democratic society. 
    Proudhon's central thesis is that property rights are inherently unjust and that they allow the rich to exploit the poor. He argues that property should be abolished and replaced with a system of communal ownership, in which individuals share and cooperate in the use and distribution of resources. 
    In the book, Proudhon also explores the origins and development of property rights, tracing their history from the earliest human societies to the modern capitalist era. He criticizes the idea that property rights are based on natural law or divine mandate, arguing instead that they are a product of historical and social conditions. 
    Overall, "What is Property?" is a radical critique of capitalism and property rights that has had a significant impact on political theory and social movements. It is considered a foundational text of anarchist and socialist thought and remains a key reference for anyone interested in the history and development of economic and political systems
