  A narrative full of adrenaline rush intertwined with warm Moroccan hospitality. 
  L'Eid, Boujloud, and summer. 
  On how thick a human mask and understanding can be while not only beetles fall victims to the Feast of Sacrifice. 
  An amusingly reflective story about real incidents and humanity amidst intercultural holidays in the 'Land of Liquid Gold.' 
  Moroccan traditions, dialect, cuisine, and products through comparative lenses. 
  Suitable and enriching for all ages. Animal sacrifice discussion could feel too detailed for very young and sensitive listeners. 
  Practical for those considering their first-time-ever stay abroad or intercultural marriage or challenging phobias through exposure. Lovers of peculiarities and anthropology enthusiasts might broaden their collection. 
  To never judge by own background...

  Verbal abuse involves making negative, defining statements about a person or withholding responses to diminish their presence. Essentially, it means belittling, insulting, or patronizing someone, or gossiping behind their back. 
    
  When the abuser fails to apologize or retract their harmful statements, the relationship may be characterized by verbal abuse. Such abuse is often driven by underlying anger, which fuels and sustains the abusive behavior. 
    
  In schools and everyday life, verbal abuse, often accompanied by physical bullying, serves to elevate the abuser's status over their target and to rally others against the victim. Typically, the bully may not know any other way to connect with others emotionally.

  Take a look at this book bundle! It contains the following books: 
    - Mercantilism Explained: Mercantilism, a dominant economic theory from the 16th to the 18th century, played a pivotal role in shaping the economic and political landscape of early modern Europe. Rooted in the belief that a nation's wealth and power were measured by its stockpile of precious metals, particularly gold and silver, mercantilism emphasized the importance of maintaining a favorable balance of trade. Nations sought to maximize exports while minimizing imports, often employing protectionist policies to achieve this goal. This approach reflected the belief that global wealth was finite, creating fierce competition among nations to secure the largest share of resources and economic advantage. 
    - The Neoliberal Revolution: Neoliberalism is a term widely used to describe a set of economic policies and ideas that emphasize the importance of free markets, deregulation, privatization, and limited government intervention. Emerging in the mid-20th century, neoliberalism represented a distinct shift away from the welfare state and Keynesian economics, which had dominated Western economies in the post-World War II era. 
    - The Venture Capital Playbook: Venture capitalists, typically investors or firms, provide capital in exchange for equity ownership in the company. This investment is usually made in industries that are considered innovative or disruptive, such as technology, healthcare, and biotechnology. 
    - Venture Capital Explained: The venture capital industry is an essential component of the startup ecosystem, providing financial backing to companies that may not yet be profitable but have strong potential. Many of the world’s most successful companies, including Amazon, Google, and Facebook, received early funding from venture capital firms.

  Straight White Male - A...

  As the cultural conversation around race, gender, and sexuality has evolved, straight, white men are becoming increasingly aware of their privilege. But many may be left thinking, "OK, what am I supposed to do about it?" "We need a way forward beyond feelings of guilt, overwhelmingness, anger, and denial." "We are looking for transformative guidance that helps us be the good guys we want to be." 
   
   
   
  Straight, white, male pastor Chris Furr offers a guide to deconstructing that privilege in Straight White Male. With an emphasis on confession and redemption, Furr invites other privileged men to reconsider the ways they live, work, believe, and interact with others. Alongside Furr's perspective, essays from contributing writers who lack various types of privilege—straight, Black man William J. Barber II, straight, white woman Melissa Florer-Bixler, queer, nonbinary latinx Robyn Henderson-Espinoza, and gay, white man Matthias Roberts—offer insights on how particular types and combinations of privilege (and the lack thereof) shape the way we move through the world. Their combined voices offer much-needed perspective through this deconstruction and provide a vision for how straight, white men can do better for ourselves, our families, and society.
