  As formally inventive as readers have come to expect from one of the most daring writers around, and as wild and tricky as its subject matter requires, Goblinhood: Goblin as a Mode  presents us with a series of essays and poems that playfully, artfully propound Jen Calleja's theory of 'goblinhood'——a theory that takes in all aspects of pop culture from film, tv, literature and art as well as the author's personal and original examinations of grief, lust, family histories and the physical fact of living in the world as it is.
  
  Goblinhood  is a perpetually and variously curious, visceral addition to Calleja's remarkable oeuvre.

  To Be You or Not to Be You—What a Silly Question 
  From the day we are born, our culture embeds in us a system for navigating life. Know 
  challenges these societal rules and expectations, illuminating how The Model, or control, 
  traps us in a seemingly unbreakable cycle and leaves us living for a false sense of security. 
  Based on over twenty-two years of observational research, author Amy Cerny Vasterling reveals how our social hierarchy stunts personal growth, suppresses us into conformity, and disallows all people thrive. 
  Know explores how we became disconnected from ourselves, resulting in anxiety, 
  limitations, and more—while reclaiming our personal knowing leads us to freedom. Learn 
  how to break free from the tenets holding you stuck so you can trust yourself and navigate 
  life with clarity and confidence. 
  By returning to our personal knowing, we quietly collapse narcissism and become 
  an example by which others can grow naturally. Know offers a path to who we truly are and 
  shows how, when we attend to this work, our shared result is natural equality. The journey 
  begins within and ends as we bring our self to life. 
  Amy Cerny Vasterling is a future-focused public speaker, teacher, and intuitive sharing the importance of returning to your personal knowing. Based on over twenty-two years of observational research, she exposes what it takes to collapse narcissism, resulting in natural equality. Now she empowers individuals and communities to dynamically return to the truth of who they are so they can fully live life.

  The Tao Te Ching, Daodejing, Dao De Jing, or Daode jing, also simply referred to as the Laozi, is a Chinese classic text. According to tradition, it was written around 6th century BC by the sage Laozi, a record-keeper at the Zhou dynasty court, by whose name the text is known in China. The text's true authorship and date of composition or compilation are still debated, although the oldest excavated text dates back to the late 4th century BC.The Tao Te Ching, along with the Zhuangzi, is a fundamental text for both philosophical and religious Taoism, and strongly influenced other schools, such as Legalism, Confucianism, and Chinese Buddhism, which when first introduced into China was largely interpreted through the use of Daoist words and concepts. Many Chinese artists, including poets, painters, calligraphers, and even gardeners, have used the Daodejing as a source of inspiration. Its influence has also spread widely outside East Asia, and is among the most translated works in world literature.

  Battle of Borodino The: The...

  On July 23, 1812, he launched his army across the border, despite the protestations of many of his Marshals. The Russian Campaign had begun, and it would turn out to be Napoleon’s biggest blunder. Russia’s great strategic depth already had a habit of swallowing armies, a fact many would-be conquerors learned the hard way. Napoleon, exceptional though he was in so many regards, proved that even military genius can do little in the face of the Russian winter and the resilience of its people. 
  From a purely military standpoint, much of the campaign seemed to be going in Napoleon’s favor since he met with little opposition as he pushed forwards into the interior with his customary lightning speed, but gradually this lack of engagements became a hindrance more than a help; Napoleon needed to bring the Russians to battle if he was to defeat them. On September 7, 1812, he must have thought his prayers had finally been answered, as the Russians had decided to stand and fight almost at the very gates of Moscow. Through his looking glass, Napoleon’s well-trained eye observed the weakness of his opponent’s defensive position. French and allied infantry advanced, anticipating that their Russian foes would again break as they had done two months earlier at Smolensk. The cavalry and Imperial Guard stood ready to complete the rout, this time preventing any organized withdrawal, and laying open an unopposed march to seize Moscow.  
  The Battle of Borodino, as it was later called, resulted in a combined casualty toll of over 75,000, a hideously long butcher’s bill that represented the bloodiest single day of the Napoleonic Wars. The Russian army retreated and Napoleon was able to occupy Moscow, hoping this would persuade the tsar to sue for peace. However, even as his advance guard pushed into the city, the retreating Russians put the capital to the torch. The Russian army’s retreat also ensured that it would live to fight another day, if necessary.
