  The world and its politics are becoming ever more polarised, leaving no room for the light and the shade. In The Half of It, Emma and Nicole explore race and identity through the lens of the mixed-race experience, creating a space for discussion and illuminating the true nuances of the mixed-race identity. 
  In The Half of It, Emma and Nicole, hosts of the critically acclaimed podcast Mixed Up, discuss what it truly means to be mixed-race. They delve into everything from culture and identity to interracial relationships, to adoption, to understanding the historical context of mixed-race people – ultimately culminating in a rounder and deeper appreciation for the mixed-identity. 
  Emma and Nicole want to break down barriers and open up a deeper dialogue of the mixed-race experience. Although this book was born out of a desire to speak directly to the mixed-race community, they discovered there is something in it for everyone. Whether you are mixed, you know someone mixed, if you have ever considered dating outside of your race, if you’re a parent committed to sharing a more diverse view of the world with your child, or indeed an adult wanting to expand your views on culture and identity – then The Half of It is for you. 
  Edmondson's autobiography is a top pick for those interested in social studies and ethnic diversity. The Half of It is a testament to the power of personal narratives in shedding light on the multifaceted experiences of mixed-race individuals. 
  For fans of Akala (Natives), Jeffrey Boakye (I Heard What You Said), Bell Hooks (Sisters of the Yam), Olivia Laing (To the River), and Caitlin Moran (More Than a Woman).

  In this bundle of audiobooks, you will get the following topics: 
  1 - It’s a hard name to pronounce, but hey, it’s been the legend of Native American peoples for centuries. Was it a man? Was it a god? Was it a white person? Or was it some animal or strange thing? Quetzalcoatl is an Aztec divine being whose name originates from the Nahuatl language and meaning "valuable snake" or "Quetzal-feathered Snake." 
  2 - The cult image, female divine being, and folk saint Nuestra Seora de la Santa Muerte (Spanish meaning: Our Woman of the Holy Death) is a cult image, female divine being, and folk saint in Mexican Neopaganism and folk Catholicism. 
  3 - Topics such as these will be addressed: 
  The beginnings of the Mayans. 
  Human sacrifice, temples, sites, and religious principles in the Maya culture. 
  The Mayan culture and society. 
  The role of Maya women. 
  The ancient ruins that can be visited by tourists today. 
  4 - When you think of the Aztecs, you might think of certain movies you have seen or what you've been taught in history class. And although some of those images and descriptions fit the main narrative, there is still much left to be discovered. This brief book will take you on a journey and kidnap your imagination to a faraway place in time. 
  5 - Although not really Mexican, this bonus book gives you more insight into ancient American civilizations, in this case, the Inca society. The Inca empire was vast and massive. Yet, still so few people know much about it, aside from what they've heard from vague rumors. But did you know the Inca people showed various similarities to those who came from the Middle East? Did you know that they mummified their dead and built pyramids?

  Over the last few years, I have spent considerable time deepening my spiritual quotient. It all started in 2013 when I took up Vipassana meditation and started practicing seriously, and later developed an interest in reciting certain mantras. 
  ​​I have titled it "UnSexy Spirituality". The reason for this title is pretty straightforward, I am sharing insights into the core concepts of Sanatana Dharma (Indian Spirituality) without any hype. The intent is to share the insights I have gained from my journey thus far. 
  You will find many books on the shelf that mix mysticism with Indian spirituality, my attempt is to present Indian spiritual concepts as is without mysticism and hence the play of the word Unsexy. 
  The Audiobook is thoughtfully designed for people to “Listen”; and “Contemplate”. The process of repeat listening and then contemplating the concepts mentioned in the audiobook is the key to fully digesting these concepts. It allows seekers to find clarity as well as uplift themselves to higher awareness levels. 
  I have compiled this wisdom into 14 chapters that simplify the core concepts which have kept me as well as other Indians and many westerners confused. 
  #1 Neeyati, The Play Of Destiny 
  #2 What is Karma & Suffering  
  #3 Is There an After-Life 
  #4 Adding Positive Karma Points in Life 
  #5 Atheists, Believers, and Seekers 
  #6 Being Spiritual and The Path 
  #7 Burning Karma with Meditation 
  #8 Ego Barometer 
  #9 Is This A Dream World 
  #10 Why Religion 
  #11 Understanding Our Relationship With The Nature 
  #12 Trust, Truth, and Belief World 
  #13 How Women Can Reach Her Highest Spiritual Truth 
  #14 Saturn's Energies

  How to Save a Constitutional...

  Democracies are in danger. Around the world, a rising wave of populist leaders threatens to erode the core structures of democratic self-rule. In the United States, the tenure of Donald Trump has seemed decisive turning point for many. What kind of president intimidates jurors, calls the news media the “enemy of the American people,” and seeks foreign assistance investigating domestic political rivals? Whatever one thinks of President Trump, many think the Constitution will safeguard us from lasting damage. But is that assumption justified?How to Save a Constitutional Democracy mounts an urgent argument that we can no longer afford to be complacent. Drawing on a rich array of other countries’ experiences with democratic backsliding, Tom Ginsburg and Aziz Z. Huq show how constitutional rules can both hinder and hasten the decline of democratic institutions. The checks and balances of the federal government, a robust civil society and media, and individual rights—such as those enshrined in the First Amendment—often fail as bulwarks against democratic decline. The sobering reality for the United States, Ginsburg and Huq contend, is that the Constitution’s design makes democratic erosion more, not less, likely. Its structural rigidity has had unforeseen consequence—leaving the presidency weakly regulated and empowering the Supreme Court conjure up doctrines that ultimately facilitate rather than inhibit rights violations. Even the bright spots in the Constitution—the First Amendment, for example—may have perverse consequences in the hands of a deft communicator who can degrade the public sphere by wielding hateful language banned in many other democracies. We—and the rest of the world—can do better. The authors conclude by laying out practical steps for how laws and constitutional design can play a more positive role in managing the risk of democratic decline.
