Sinopse

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.

    Taíno Suns to Phoenix Flames traces the history, culture, and enduring spirit of the indigenous Taíno people of the Caribbean and the birth of a nation compared once to the fictional Wakanda. This is Black nationalism and autonomy at its finest.

    Inside, you'll discover:The history of the Taíno people before and after European contact.Caribbean indigenous culture — from language to spirituality.Stories of indigenous resilience and revival across Haiti, Latin America, and the Caribbean.The impact of colonization on Caribbean heritage and identity.How the Taíno legacy inspires cultural pride and modern indigenous movements.

    Blame Changer by psychologist Carmel O'Brien, former head of Clinical Services at Victoria's Doncare, provides straight forward answers to common questions and aims to debunk pervasive myths around what Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull last year called "one of Australia's greatest shames" domestic violence. But Blame Changer is much more than the definitive rebuttal of some of society's most damaging, ill-informed and pervasive attitudes about domestic violence. It sounds a clarion call for a change in the way we talk - at the dinner table, on social media and in national conversation at the highest levels - about women and the violence they experience. What's more, it's also a practical guide that will help victims of abuse: Blame Changer also shows friends and family how to help a victim of abuse and challenges how the Family Court system responds to allegations of abuse. This is the definitive guide to domestic violence in Australia, by a woman who has worked with countless victims over many years.

    Letters to My Weird Sisters - On...

    An autistic feminist author looks at women's history, in search of her 'weird sisters.' 
     
     
     
    It seemed to me that many of the moments when my autism had caused problems, or at least marked me out as different, were those moments when I had come up against some unspoken law about how a girl or a woman should be, and failed to meet it. 
     
     
     
    An autism diagnosis in midlife enabled Joanne Limburg to finally make sense of why her emotional expression, social discomfort and presentation had always marked her as an outsider. 
     
     
     
    Eager to discover other women who had been misunderstood in their time, she writes a series of wide-ranging letters to four 'weird sisters' from history, addressing topics including autistic parenting, social isolation, feminism, the movement for disability rights and the appalling punishments that have been meted out over centuries to those deemed to fall short of the norm. 
     
     
     
    This heartfelt, deeply compassionate and wholly original work humanizes women who have so often been dismissed for their differences, and will be celebrated by 'weird sisters' everywhere.

    In this 2023 conversation with Justine Willis Toms, futurist Duane Elgin argues that humanity is straddling unprecedented, threshold times, and that this situational crisis involves more than just climate change: it’s a whole systemic change. Yet, despite the extreme nature of our situation, we’re also living in a moment of immense possibility in a sea of a living universe within a domain of aliveness, where new kinds of potentials are going to emerge. He writes "Even though it is difficult, even though your heart breaks a thousand times, we must go through this time of collective initiation in order to take our place as responsible adults collaborating in the creation of a healthy and vibrant community of all beings.”  
    Duane Elgin is the author of many books including:Awakening Earth: Exploring the Evolution of Human Culture and Consciousness (William Morrow 1993)Voluntary Simplicity: Toward a Way of Life That Is Outwardly Simple, Inwardly Rich (Harper 2010)The Living Universe: Where Are We? Who Are We? Where Are We Going? (Barrett Koehler Publishers 2009)Promise Ahead: A Vision of Hope and Action for Humanity’s Future the Living Universe (William Morrow 2000)Choosing Earth: Humanity’s Journey of Initiation through Breakdown and Collapse to Mature Planetary Community (Revised Edition) (Duane Elgin 2022)
