After the medical examiner finds a strange ring among the victim&’s personal effects that the husband insists didn&’t belong to his wife, Cassidy is struck by similarly odd details from a previous crime scene—details that seem to have an uncanny connection to a Greek myth.

2024: How Trump Retook the White House and the Democrats Lost America
by Isaac Arnsdorf Josh Dawsey Tyler PagerIn 2024, award-winning reporters Josh Dawsey, Tyler Pager, and Isaac Arnsdorf bring us the definitive, inside story of the most tumultuous and consequential presidential campaign in our history."An immersive and philosophical tour of an election whose outcome, [the authors] argue, was anything but inevitable.&” —The New York Times&“The whole world was against me, and I won,&” said Donald Trump in an exclusive interview, ten days before his second inauguration. Nearly four years after Trump&’s first turbulent presidency concluded in a violent attempt to overturn the election, he made a political comeback on a scale that stunned the nation. How did the first U.S. president to become a convicted felon regain control of the White House? And at what cost? 2024 is the explosive account of how Trump and his advisers overcame a dozen primary challengers, four indictments, two assassination attempts, and his own past mistakes to defeat the Democrats, and pave the way for a second term that would be far more aggressive and ruthless than the first.Drawing on extraordinary access to the Trump, Biden, and Harris teams, 2024 takes readers beyond the speeches, rallies, and debates to reveal the innermost workings of the Republican and Democratic presidential campaigns. Beginning in August 2022 with the FBI&’s search of Mar-a-Lago for classified documents, and Trump&’s subsequent decision to run once again for president, Dawsey, Pager, and Arnsdorf chart how Trump stifled the rise of Republican opponents, including Ron DeSantis, and how his campaign, led by Susie Wiles, landed on a winning strategy. They reveal in unrivaled detail how Joe Biden and his team brushed off concerns about his age, ignored polling numbers, and held off the next generation of eager Democratic hopefuls—even as Biden was dealing with his own special counsel investigation and the trial of his son Hunter. After his disastrous debate performance forced him to withdraw, Biden anointed Vice President Kamala Harris as the candidate and tasked her with running the shortest presidential campaign in modern U.S. history. With only 107 days to distinguish herself from the past four years, Harris lacked the time or space to outrun Biden&’s shadow—a challenge in and of itself, but one which Biden would make even more difficult. On November 5th, 2024, Trump was elected the nation&’s forty-seventh president, and would return to power vindicated, emboldened, unrestrained, and burning for revenge.Gripping, revelatory, and deeply reported, 2024 is the shocking inside story of the election that tested American democracy and would go on to shape the future of the free world.
Roti: 90 Simple Recipes for the Indian Bread and Its Accompaniments
by Anuradha RavindranathRoti is perhaps one of India’s most versatile, yet unassuming, dishes. Bake it on a griddle, stuff it with mashed potatoes, lather it in ghee or butter, pair it with curries and pickles, roast it, fry it, or bake it in a tandoor. It is made with many grains, but traditionally with wheat flour. It is no wonder then that Roti is integral to Indian and cuisines from other South Asian countries, such as Pakistan and Bangladesh and a popular accompaniment in most Asian cuisine restaurants.In Roti, author Anuradha Ravindranath introduces the reader to the different facets of this unprepossessing flatbread. She draws on her memories as a child, of her mother buying whole wheat grain at a market, of it drying on the rooftop of their Delhi home, of the trips to a nearby mill so that it is ground into fresh, warm flour, and the fluffy rotis fresh off the pan that was an enduring staple for lunches.In doing so, Anuradha Ravindranath skilfully weaves her memories of the flatbread with over 90 delicious recipes and turns the humble roti into a delightful, glamorous showstopper. Packed with photographs, the book will feature accompaniments to rotis by way of dips and pickles, as well as easy-to-follow tips in classic DK style.

This is Pastiloff&’s account of how she reclaimed her voice and desire by radically changing her life. She did this despite believing that change equaled death ever since her beloved father died when she was eight. (Much to her shock, change did not equal death.)

This book is a reminder that your birthright is not stress or shame and that you don&’t have to show proof that you are worthy or deserving. You are your own proof of life.
A Room of One's Own
by Virginia WoolfA collectible hardcover edition of Virginia Woolf&’s pioneering work of feminism, &“probably the most influential piece of non-fictional writing by a woman in [the twentieth] century&” (Hermione Lee), featuring a new introduction by Xochitl Gonzalez, Pulitzer Prize finalist and New York Times bestselling author of Olga Dies Dreaming and Anita de Monte Laughs LastA Penguin Vitae EditionIn October 1928, Virginia Woolf delivered two lectures to the women&’s colleges at the University of Cambridge, arguing with inimitable wit and rhetorical mastery that an income and a room of one&’s own are essential to a woman&’s creative freedom. These lectures became the basis for A Room of One&’s Own, a landmark in feminist thought, in which Woolf imagines the fictional Judith Shakespeare, sister to William and equally gifted but lost to history. How much genius has gone unexpressed, Woolf wonders, because women are not afforded the same privileges as men? A hundred years later, her brilliant polemic reverberates into our own time.In this edition, Pulitzer Prize finalist for commentary and bestselling novelist Xochitl Gonzalez contributes an introductory essay that extends the argument to Woolf&’s housekeeper, breaking down divides of not only gender but also race and class in order to include all women in Woolf&’s profoundly inspiring call to realize their creative potential.Penguin Vitae—loosely translated as &“Penguin of one&’s life&”—is a deluxe hardcover series from Penguin Classics celebrating a dynamic and diverse landscape of classic fiction and nonfiction from seventy-five years of classics publishing. Penguin Vitae provides readers with beautifully designed classics that have shaped the course of their lives, and welcomes new readers to discover these literary gifts of personal inspiration, intellectual engagement, and creative originality.

Navigating Liminal Realms: Psychonavigation Skills for Lucid Dreaming, Trance Journeys, and Altered States
by Norma J. Burton Nisha Burton• Investigates drumming-induced trance states through shamanic journeying• Provides advanced lucid dreaming training, sharing techniques for inducing lucidity and skillfully navigating our inner cosmos• Explores the mindful use of psychedelics, offering guidance on setting intention, navigating the experience, and integrating insightsOFFERING TECHNIQUES from psychonauts ancient and modern, this profound guide helps you navigate consciously into the depths of the human psyche. Psychonavigation is the art of mindfully exploring the liminal realms of consciousness. This requires a map, a guide, and a clear intent, so one does not emerge overwhelmed and struggling with unexpected shadow material.Norma and Nisha Burton map the important connection between three gateways into the psyche&’s depths: lucid dreaming, shamanic drumming trance journeys, and ceremonial plant medicine journeys. With drumming-induced trance journeys, they explore the scientific effect on brainwave frequencies alongside consciousness teachings from indigenous cultures like the Sami of Norway and Huichol of Mexico. Their masterful approach to lucid dreaming transcends basic instruction, offering sophisticated techniques to not only summon but sustain lucidity and integrate suppressed parts of oneself. They explain how a mindful engagement with entheogens can be profoundly enhanced through these precursory mystical practices, creating a safe container for integration and meaning-making that honors the gravity of such experiences.With these skillful methodologies, ancient psycho-spiritual techniques meet ultra-current science to enable seekers to process and integrate profound encounters with expanded consciousness.
Telepathic Tales: Precognition and Clairvoyance in Legend, Lyric, and Lore
by Daniel Bourke• Provides accounts of ESP ranging from ancient Greek myth, traditional North and South American, African, and Polynesian stories to individuals like Rumi, Charles Dickens, and Carl Jung• Considers unexplained ESP-related happenings, including bilocation, the ability to locate lost items, early knowledge of one&’s own death, and perceptions regarding the well-being of loved onesWhether a premonition of an impending event, a warning of potential danger, or an unlikely synchronistic experience, such things are surprisingly common, even if they often cannot be clearly explained.Taking readers on a historical and cross-cultural voyage through extrasensory experiences, Daniel Bourke documents, contextualizes, and sheds light on these mysterious phenomena. From the plains of Peru and the haunted highlands of Scotland to the snowy taiga forests of the Far North and the Indigenous cultures of Australia and America, Bourke examines the strange psychic occurrences that seem to appear in all places, at all times. These include instances of bilocation, premonitions about the coming of visitors, intuitions of the location of lost items or treasures, the discovery of cures by telepathic means, and even accurate pre-perceptions about one&’s own demise or the perilous situation of a loved one. He looks at the renowned Greek seers, including Iamos, who announced the death of Hercules at the moment it occurred; the far-reaching visions of the shaman in a trance who might warn his tribe of danger; and the witches, wizards, and heroes of legend and romance who were privy to secret knowledge through magical means. Bourke&’s survey incorporates rare accounts from people all around the world and across the ages, including figures like Rumi, Saint Anthony, Charles Dickens, Mark Twain, and Carl Jung.Shedding light on our cultural and mythic past, Bourke shows that wherever you look in the world, whatever culture or time, telepathic tales are unfolding all around us.

Planetary Health - Laws, Policies and Science on the 'One Health' Approach
by Giovanni Antonelli Fabrizio Penna Eeshan Chaturvedi Antonio CilentoThis book offers a multidisciplinary and in-depth analysis of the One Health approach. The holistic One Health vision, a healthcare model based on the integration of various disciplines, is both ancient and current. It is based on the recognition that human health, animal health and ecosystem health are inextricably linked. Cognizant of the need for multidisciplinary research to address complex health challenges at the national and international level, the book combines legal, public policy and medical perspectives on the One Health approach, exploring e.g. the role of biodiversity, human rights, trade agreements, indigenous knowledge, and climate change mitigation and adaptation. One Health is officially recognized by the European Commission and by a host of international organizations as a relevant strategy for actors in all sectors that benefit from collaboration between disciplines (doctors, veterinarians, lawyers, environmentalists, economists, sociologists etc.). One Health is an ideal approach to achieving global health, as it addresses the needs of the most vulnerable populations based on the intimate relationship between their own health, that of their animals, and that of the environment in which they live, considering the wide spectrum of determinants that emerge from this relationship. Given its scope, the book will be of interest to academics, professionals, and students of all disciplines who engage with the One Health approach.
