Sinopsis

The Kama Sutra, is an ancient Indian text widely considered to be the standard work on human sexual behavior in Sanskrit literature written by the Indian scholar Vatsyayana. A portion of the work consists of practical advice on sex. Kāma means sensual or sexual pleasure, and sūtra are the guidlines of yoga, the word itself means thread in Sanskrit.

The Kama Sutra is the oldest and most notable of a group of texts known generically as Kama Shastra). Traditionally, the first transmission of Kama Shastra or "Discipline of Kama" is attributed to Nandi the sacred bull, Shiva's doorkeeper, who was moved to sacred utterance by overhearing the lovemaking of the god and his wife Parvati and later recorded his utterances for the benefit of mankind.

    Philosophy of Race - A Primer

    It was not until the early 1900s that the idea emerged of a philosophy dealing specifically with issues of race. Unsurprisingly, the philosophy of race was begun by people of color. Philosophy considers race in terms of its social construction, and it analyzes the cultural and moral effects of attitudes toward race. The philosophy of race deals with how ideas and attitudes about race developed and seeks to understand race relations in the context of social and moral philosophy. The critical philosophy of race analyzes and critiques racism, systemic racial hierarchies, and the ways that the racialization of society effects ideas, values, practices, and social institutions. 
    Similar to feminist philosophy and its focus on gender constructs, critical philosophy of race has a focus on the role of racism and racial hierarchies in shaping the historical patterns of thought and society. Critical philosophers of race acknowledge the ways in which white-dominated social traditions have excluded people of color, and critical philosophy of race is an attempt to decode often veiled words and ideas that power racial hierarchies and attitudes with an eye toward changing those traditions and decreasing racial injustices. It is also critical in calling for an end to the denial of society’s past and ongoing racism, including an end to racial segregation, exploitation, and genocide. Being philosophers, critical philosophers of race are especially critical of philosophy’s denial of its own racial past.

    What if the crushing moments in life—the ones meant to silence you—are actually the birthplace of your greatest strength? Where Light Bleeds Through: The Broken Places is not just a memoir of pain endured, but a testimony of purpose reclaimed. Melissa Saulnier takes readers through the hidden corridors of childhood trauma, toxic love, betrayal, abandonment, and the loneliness of survival. But this isn't a story about staying broken. It's a story about choosing to stand, speak, and rebuild. With fierce honesty and deep compassion, Saulnier peels back the layers of generational dysfunction and spiritual disillusionment to reveal a deeper truth: you can rise from the ashes of what tried to destroy you. Each chapter serves as both mirror and map—reflecting your own wounds while guiding you toward healing, hope, and the courage to live fully again. Where Light Bleeds Through is for every woman who's ever felt alone in a crowded room, doubted her worth, or questioned whether her story mattered. It does. And so does yours. This is more than a book. It's a companion for the journey back to yourself.

    An immersive history of a pivotal stretch of water 
    ‘Fascinating, spellbinding, erudite and great fun.’ Roddy Doyle 
    ‘Remarkable. Lively … Gower writes beautifully [and] the book is profoundly popular.’ Times Literary Supplement 
    The Turning Tide is a hymn to a sea passage of world-historical importance. Combining social and cultural history, nature-writing, travelogue and politics, Welshman Jon Gower charts a sea which has carried both Vikings and saints; invasion forces, royals and rebels; writers, musicians and fishermen. 
    The divided but interconnected waters of the Irish Sea – from the narrow North Channel through St George’s Channel to where the Celtic sea opens out into the wide Atlantic – have a turbulent history to match the violence of its storms. Jon Gower is a sympathetic and interested pilot, taking the reader to the great shipyards of Belfast and through the mass exodus of the starving during the Irish Famine in coffin boats bound for America. He follows the migrations of working men and women looking for work in England and tells the tales of more casual travellers: sometimes seasick, often homesick too. 
    The Irish Sea is also a place with an abundant natural history. The rarest sea bird in Europe visits its coasts in summer while the rarest goose wings in during winter. 
    The Turning Tide navigates waters teeming with life, filled with seals and salt-tanged stories and surveyed by seabirds. Lyrically written and fizzing with curiosity, this is a remarkable and far-reaching book. 
    The latest work from award-winning author Jon Gower, The Turning Tide, is a short-listed masterpiece that delves into the geography of Ireland and Britain. This prize-winning book is a testament to his winning storytelling, making it a top pick for readers. 
    For fans of Robert Macfarlane (Desert Solitaire), John Lewis-Stempel (Six Weeks), Mark Rees (The Little Book of Welsh Culture), Stephen Rule (Welsh and I), and Darren Chetty (The Good Immigrant).
