In "The Washer of the Ford: Legendary Moralities and Barbaric Tales," William Sharp intricately weaves a tapestry of folklore and moral lessons drawn from various cultures, particularly Celtic mythology. This collection of narratives is characterized by its lyrical prose and rich imagery, inviting readers into a world where the boundaries between the supernatural and the mundane blur. Sharp employs a distinctive style that marries the archaic with the contemporary, reflecting a deep respect for oral traditions while infusing them with modern sensibilities. Each tale, steeped in ethical complexities, serves not only to entertain but to provoke contemplation on moral dilemmas that echo through history. William Sharp, a prominent figure in the late 19th-century literary scene, was known for his exploration of themes related to identity, nature, and spirituality. His passion for Celtic folklore and mysticism drove him to delve into the legends of his homeland Scotland. This devotion to cultural heritage complements his broader literary endeavors, displaying a profound understanding of the intersections between humanity and mythology, which is vividly illustrated in this collection. For readers seeking a profound exploration of human ethics cloaked in enchanting narratives, "The Washer of the Ford" is a must-read. Sharp's ability to engage with ancient tales while drawing timeless lessons makes this collection essential for anyone interested in myth, morality, and the storytelling tradition.

    Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) is an innovative approach that combines the principles of mindfulness with cognitive therapy techniques to address mental health challenges and enhance mental clarity. Developed as a preventative intervention for depression relapse, MBCT has grown in popularity and application across various mental health contexts due to its effectiveness in cultivating awareness and emotional resilience. 
    At its core, MBCT integrates mindfulness practices—rooted in ancient meditative traditions—with evidence-based cognitive behavioral strategies. Mindfulness involves paying attention to the present moment with a sense of openness, curiosity, and non-judgment. It encourages individuals to observe their thoughts, emotions, and physical sensations without being swept away by them. When combined with cognitive therapy, which focuses on identifying and restructuring negative thought patterns, MBCT provides a powerful framework for managing psychological distress. 
    The origins of MBCT trace back to the pioneering work of Zindel Segal, Mark Williams, and John Teasdale. Inspired by Jon Kabat-Zinn's Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) program, these researchers sought to adapt mindfulness techniques specifically for individuals prone to recurrent episodes of depression. Over time, MBCT has demonstrated significant benefits not only in preventing depression relapse but also in treating anxiety, stress, and other mood disorders.

    An original deep history of the internet that tells the story of the centuries-old utopian dreams behind it—and explains why they have died today 
     
    Many think of the internet as an unprecedented and overwhelmingly positive achievement of modern human technology. But is it? In The Internet Is Not What You Think It Is, Justin Smith offers an original deep history of the internet, from  
    the ancient to the modern world—uncovering its surprising origins in nature and centuries-old dreams of radically improving human life by outsourcing thinking to machines and communicating across vast distances. Yet, despite the internet’s  
    continuing potential, Smith argues, the utopian hopes behind it have finally died today, killed by the harsh realities of social media, the global information economy, and the attention-destroying nature of networked technology. 
     
    Ranging over centuries of the history and philosophy of science and technology, Smith shows how the “internet” has been with us much longer than we usually think. He draws fascinating connections between internet user experience,  
    artificial intelligence, the invention of the printing press, communication between trees, and the origins of computing in the machine-driven looms of the silk industry. At the same time, he reveals how the internet’s organic structure and  
    development root it in the natural world in unexpected ways that challenge efforts to draw an easy line between technology and nature. 
     
    Combining the sweep of intellectual history with the incisiveness of philosophy, The Internet Is Not What You Think It Is cuts through our daily digital lives to give a clear-sighted picture of what the internet is, where it came from, and where it might be taking us in the coming decades.

    We broke our new series on learning Farsi down into different learning stages. Start with the "Lower Beginner" books followed by the "Beginner" and "Upper Beginner" books. Next, progress to the "Intermediate" series, then test and reinforce your knowledge with the "Conversations" series. 
    This audiobook is divided into units.While it provides different learning patterns and accommodates various needs, this audiobook focuses on helping you improve your ability to understand, speak, and memorise Farsi.  
    In Unit 1 you will hear Farsi decoded with each syllable spoken very slowly and clearly with repetition. Immediately before each sentence is spoken, you will hear the translation, so you will always understand what is being said. 
    Unit 2 focuses solely on increasing your listening ability, which will improve your abilities to engage in dialogue with a native Farsi speaker. This chapter requires you to listen very carefully to nuances in the language. 
    By Unit 3 you will already notice progress in your abilities to speak and understand Farsi. The spoken translation is followed by two repetitions in Farsi at a completely natural speed. While you are learning to process naturally spoken Farsi, Units 3 and 4 will help you memorise new vocabulary and full sentences. 
    In Unit 5 you can test yourself on how much you have learned. If you are having difficulties, we suggest you revisit the listening, speaking, or memorisation section of Units 1, 2 3 or 4, according to what you need more help with. 
    Topics covered in this book: 
    1. Asking about family 
    2. Asking about relationship status 
    3. Expressing frequency
