  Featuring a new introduction by Ken Liu, this revised edition of Ursula K. Le Guin’s first full-length collection of essays covers her background as a writer and educator, her thoughts on writing, and her commentary on literary science fiction and fantasy and their future. 
   
  “We like to think we live in daylight, but half the world is always dark; and fantasy, like poetry, speaks the language of the night.”—URSULA K. Le GUIN 
   
  Le Guin’s sharp and witty voice is on full display in this collection of twenty-four essays, revised by the author a decade after its initial publication in 1979. The collection covers a wide range of topics and Le Guin’s origins as a writer, her advocacy for science fiction and fantasy as mediums for true literary exploration, the writing of her own major works such as A Wizard of Earthsea and The Left Hand of Darkness, and her role as a public intellectual and educator. The book and each thematic section are brilliantly introduced and contextualized by Susan Wood, a professor at the University of British Columbia and a literary editor and feminist activist during the 1960s and ’70s. 
   
  A fascinating, intimate look into the exceptional mind of Le Guin, whose insights remain as relevant and resonant today as when they were first published.

  Thus spake Zarathustra

  Friedrich Nietzsche

  “Man is something that shall be overcome.” With prophetic fervor, Nietzsche draws us into the spiritual heights where Zarathustra, a solitary sage returning to humanity, delivers his blazing message. Thus Spake Zarathustra is not merely a book—it is a revelation. 
  A cornerstone of existential and postmodern philosophy, Friedrich Nietzsche challenges the very foundations of morality, religion, and social order. He exalts the will to power, the self-created individual, and proclaims the death of God with a haunting and poetic intensity. 
  Journey through Zarathustra’s enigmatic teachings: the encounter with the tightrope walker, a fragile symbol of mankind in flux; the bold vision of the Übermensch, the human beyond man; and the perplexing doctrine of eternal recurrence, which questions the very nature of time and choice. 
  A literary and philosophical landmark, this work has shaped modern thought and inspired generations—from Camus to Kubrick. Its themes remain strikingly relevant today: the search for meaning, the rejection of imposed norms, and the daring affirmation of individuality. 
  This audiobook offers a deeply immersive experience. Enhanced by an AI-generated narration with crystal-clear diction and elegant pacing, the voice carries Nietzsche’s visionary prose straight to the ear and soul. 
  🎧 Step into the abyss—and ascend. Download Thus Spake Zarathustra now and embark on a transformative listening journey that defies convention and awakens the mind.

  Unassimilable - An Asian...

  A scholar and activist’s brilliant socio-political examination of Asian Americans who refuse to assimilate and instead build their own belonging on their own terms outside of mainstream American institutions. 
  In this hard-hitting and deeply personal book, a combination of manifesto and memoir, scholar, sociologist, and activist Bianca Mabute-Louie transforms the ways we understand race, class, citizenship, and the concept of assimilation and its impact on Asian American communities from the nineteenth century to present day. 
  UNASSIMILABLE opens with a focus on the San Gabriel Valley (SGV), the first Asian ethnoburb in Los Angeles County and in the nation, where she grew up. A suburban neighborhood with a conspicuous Asian immigrant population, SGV thrives not because of its assimilation into Whiteness, but because of its unapologetic catering to its immigrant community. 
  Mabute-Louie then examines “Predominantly White Institutions With A lot of Asians” and how these institutions shape the racial politics of Asian Americans and Asian internationals, including the fight against affirmative action and the fight for ethnic studies. She moves on to interrogate the role of the religion, showing how the immigrant church is a sanctuary even as it is an extension of colonialism and the American Empire. In the book’s conclusion, Bianca looks to the future, boldly proposing a reconsideration of the term Asian American for a new label that better clarifies who Asians in America are today. 
  UNASSIMILABLE offers a radical vision of Asian American political identity informed by a refusal of Whiteness and collective care for each other. It is a forthright declaration against assimilation and in service of cross-racial, anti-imperialist solidarity and revolutionary politics. Scholarly yet accessible, informative and informed, this book is a major addition to Ethnic Studies and American Studies.

  Diana - Remembering the Princess

  Today, twenty-five years since Diana's death, seems the right moment for a reassessment of this remarkable woman. Did the Royal Family learn lessons from her life, about protection and privacy, about how to incorporate outsiders into their ranks, about how to manage scandal? Did it take any lessons from her death—and the public's reaction not only to that but also to the behavior of, in particular, the Queen and Prince Charles, in the aftermath? Or have the family and the Palace—the men in grey suits, as Diana called them—continued on the same track, unchanged, repeating many of the mistakes made with her, from her first nervous ventures in royal circles to her later defiance of traditional protocols? These and many other questions are explored in this authoritative book, written by two people closely associated with Diana: Inspector Ken Wharfe was the Princess's police protection officer for six years during the most turbulent period of her marriage to Prince Charles, and Ros Coward was chosen as author of the official book by the Diana, Princess of Wales Memorial Trust. This book is both an examination of the people and events of the time and an elegiac tribute to one of the most iconic figures of the late twentieth century.

  Albert Einstein was a Zen master?  
  I think so, and I aim to prove it.  
  Imagine understanding how Einstein viewed the world, the Universe, and God. What if you could have the same understanding? How could it change your own outlook on life? 
  Dr. Matthew Barnes, chemist, biochemist, doctor, and bestselling author of The Emerald Tablet 101, The Hermetica 101, The Tao Te Ching 101, The Bhagavad Gita 101, and Jesus Christ, Zen Master presents his case for Einstein as being not only one of the most influential scientists of our time but also one of the most spiritual (in his own, unique way).  
  In this work, you’ll discover:  
     • In what ways Einstein’s views of reality coincide with those of some of the greatest Zen masters to have ever lived, past and present.  
     • Why Einstein considered himself to be “a deeply religious nonbeliever”. 
      (Do you know what he considered himself to be instead?) 
     • Why Einstein felt his viewpoints on God to be a “somewhat new kind of religion”. 
      (Hint: It turns out that his views may not have been all that new, but really really old instead.) 
     • How you too can begin to enjoy Einstein’s view of the world, the Universe, and God.  
  “Reality is merely an illusion, albeit a very persistent one.” -Albert Einstein
