  Tired of being the nice guy who gets ignored while women obsess over men who treat them like an afterthought? 
  It's time to stop chasing—and start triggering. 
  The Dangerous Male: A Walking Hormonal Trigger is not a feel-good guide. It's a dark, brutally honest, and laughably real manifesto for men ready to stop begging for love and start mastering biology, psychology, and seduction on a primal level. 
  This book is built for the man who's done playing it safe. 
  It unpacks what really makes women obsessed—from subconscious ovulation cues to emotional tension, from masculine presence to strategic silence. You'll discover how to activate female hormones like oxytocin and dopamine, not by asking for attention—but by becoming the man she can't stop thinking about. 
  Inside, you'll learn:Why emotional detachment makes you irresistibleHow to use eye contact, voice, and posture as weapons of attractionThe science of female desire—and how to flip it in your favorHow to become a man women chase, submit to, and rememberWhy walking away right is more powerful than any pickup line 
  This isn't about manipulation. 
  It's about evolutionary dominance. 
  Women aren't confused—they're wired. 
  It's time you learned the language they actually respond to. 
  If you're ready to become the kind of man women compete for—emotionally, sexually, and psychologically—this book is your blueprint. 
  You don't chase. You attract. 
  You don't ask. You choose. 
  You don't react. You reign.

  A poetic sequence using the 1841 slave revolt aboard the brig Creole as a lens through which to view the vitality of Black lives and the afterlife of slavery.In 1841, the only successful, large-scale revolt of American-born enslaved people erupted on the ship Creole. 135 people escaped chattel slavery that day. The event was recounted in US Senate documents, including letters exchanged between US and British consulates in The Bahamas and depositions from the white crew on the ship. There is no known record or testimony from the 135 people who escaped. Their story has been lost to time and indifference. Quenton Baker’s ballast is an attempt at incomplete redress.With imagination, deep empathy, and skilled and compelling lyricism, Baker took a black marker to those Senate documents and culled a poetic recount of the Creole revolt. Layers of ink connect readers to Baker’s poetic process: (re)phrasing the narrative of the state through a dexterous process of hands-on redactions.ballast is a relentless, wrenching, and gorgeously written book, a defiant reclamation of one of the most important but overlooked events in US history, and an essential contribution to contemporary poetry.

  A gripping and deeply-felt examination of incarcerated women's lives 
   
   
   
  With unflinching clarity, Hidden Healers cuts through the myths about incarcerated women to expose the all-too-real brutalities they face within a criminal legal system never designed for them. Backed by three decades' experience providing therapeutic programs inside prisons across the United States, trauma specialist Dr. Stephanie Covington has used her unique access to amplify the voices of the women themselves. Their stories illuminate realities most never see: that most women who get caught up in the criminal justice system have themselves been victims of harm, that the degradations of today's prisons and jails only magnify their trauma— and that incarcerated women regularly risk punishment to tend to one another's well-being in unexpected acts of kindness. Grounded in research and rich with personal narrative, Hidden Healers is a poignant and riveting look inside women's prisons and jails—and what we can do to help.

  Hind Swaraj - The Aural...

  Hind Swaraj is Mahatma Gandhi's fundamental work. It is a key to understanding not only his life and thoughts but also the politics of South Asia in the first half of the twentieth century. Hind Swaraj is the seed from which the tree of Gandhian thought has grown to its full stature. For those interested in Gandhi's thought in a general way, it is the right place to start, for it is here that he presents his basic ideas in their proper relationship to one another. Dharma For Life, Gandhi felt that the time had come to redefine the scope of dharma to include notions of citizenship, equality, liberty, fraternity, and mutual assistance. 
  And in Hind Swaraj, he presents in simple language his notion of such a redefined dharma, the vision of a new Indian or Gandhian civic humanism, one that the Gita and the Ramayana had always contained in potentia, but something which Indian civilization had not actualized fully in practice. In Hind Swaraj, a conscious attempt is being made to actualize that potential. 'This is not a mere political book', he writes. 'I have used the language of politics, but I have really tried to offer a glimpse of dharma. What is the meaning of Hind Swaraj? It means the rule of dharma or Ramarajya'). 'We may read the Gita or the Ramayana or Hind Swaraj. But what we have to learn from them is a desire for the welfare of others. 
  On casual listening, the book may strike the listener as being a rather simple one. This would not be an unwarranted reaction, since Gandhi sought simplicity in all things, including the way he presented his ideas. But first impressions in this case can be, and are, deceptive, for the book contains in compressed form the author's conception of what modern India ought to become and how politics may be made into the highest form of the active life.
