  This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice. The Prophet — Audiobook 
  "No man can reveal to you aught but that which already lies half asleep in the dawning of your knowledge." 
  First published in 1923, The Prophet by Kahlil Gibran is one of the most beloved and enduring works of world literature — translated into over 100 languages and never once out of print. 
  Consisting of 26 prose poetry fables, the book speaks through the voice of a prophet on the deepest themes of human life — love, children, freedom, sorrow, beauty, and death. 
  "You are the bows from which your children as living arrows are sent forth." "What is evil but good tortured by its own hunger and thirst?" "Self is a sea boundless and measureless." 
  A Production Crafted with Care 
  This audiobook breathes life into Gibran's timeless words through a carefully crafted cast of voices. Almustafa and the narrator speak in American English, while the citizens of Orphalese — the ploughman, the merchant, the judge, the priestess, the scholar, the astronomer, and more — are voiced in British English, giving each figure their own distinct warmth and character. Every line has been reviewed by human editors to ensure a smooth listening experience. 
  Tip for the impatient listener: Chapters 1 and 28 are slightly longer than the rest — feel free to begin at Chapter 2 and circle back.

  What's Wrong with Stereotyping?

  What's Wrong with Stereotyping? offers a refreshing and accessibly written philosophical take on the ethics of stereotyping. Stereotyping is woven into every aspect of human experience: conversation, psychology, algorithmic systems, and culture. It relates to generalization and induction, core aspects of rationality. But when and why it is morally wrong to stereotype? This book tackles this deep and enduring puzzle. 
   
   
   
  Core chapters evaluate important ethical wrongs: the failure to treat persons as individuals, disrespect, harm, prejudice, threats to freedoms, and the failure to treat persons as equals. One finds that there is no "essence" of wrongful stereotyping, a single property or set of properties that all problematic cases share in common. Nor are the wrongs of stereotyping reducible to an elegant number, two or three. Instead, wrongful stereotyping is characterized by clusters of wrong-making properties, including all the ones noted here. Listeners will come away with a radically pluralistic, open-ended theory of wrongful stereotyping that they can use to identify wrongful stereotyping in their own lives and our contemporary world. Filled with thought-provoking examples and models for social change, this book emphasizes the messiness of moral reality and the importance of looking to the past in order to understand the ethical perils of stereotyping.

  Pirates have an almost mythical status in the public imagination - we think of rogue heroes riding the high seas and 'X marks the spot'. But this image is flawed at best. 
   
  Using contemporary sources, Nigel Cawthorne turns the spotlight on the reality of pirate life, revealing the truth behind the legends. It gives us an insight into infamous the men and women who plundered ship and shore, including Captain Kidd, Blackbeard and Mary Read. We learn of the hazy distinction between pirates and state-approved privateers who were used to maintain empire, as well as the Port Royal pirate base in Jamaica - known as the 'wickedest city in the world'. 
   
  Including details of various pirate exploits, as well as their weapons, ships and unhappy victims, this fascinating read will divide fact from slippery fiction.
