What follows if we reject belief in any kind of non-physical soul and instead fully embrace what we know about the world? The main implication, this book argues, is a naturalization of personal identity and ethics. A radically different way of thinking about ourself. 'A precondition of rational behaviour is a basic understanding of the nature of oneself and the world. Any fusion of ethical and decision-theoretic rationality into a seamless package runs counter to some of our deepest intuitions. But You Are Them makes a powerful case. Magnus Vinding's best book to date. Highly recommended.' - David Pearce, co-founder of The Neuroethics Foundation, co-founder of World Transhumanist Association / Humanity+, author of The Hedonistic Imperative and The Anti-Speciesist Revolution.

21st century America finds itself divided between two fairly extreme ideals - democrats and republicans. The two sides find it difficult to agree on much of anything, but one thing that they do agree on is that America is headed down a bad road, although they have difficulty determining a common agreement on what that bad road looks like. In his first political book, Randal Schaffer takes a look at some of the places in America where the nation can improve and strive toward the promise of the founders of becoming 'one nation'.

What Does Queer Mean Anyway? :The Quick and Dirty Guide to LGBTQIA+ Vocabulary
In this clear and concise text Chris Bartlett provides direct explanations for how to use and interpret vocabulary like "queer", "transgender", and "intersex". Writing to those who are unsure of how to talk about alternative sexualities and gender, the author uses case studies and historical examples to unpack this often misused and misunderstood vocabulary.For much of his life Chris felt unsure of how to politely address and to interact with people who place themselves outside of the traditionally encouraged heterosexual mold. This fear of appearing ignorant or rude led him to avoid interacting with some people and prevented him from sticking up for others when he should have.The truth is that being uncomfortable and unsure around a new concept does not make anyone a bad person but when that mindset prevents one from being fair and equitable to others then there is a problem. After listening to this Quick and Dirty Guide to LGBTQIA+ Vocabulary you'll be confident enough to ask polite questions about gender and sexuality and informed enough to understand the answers.

Experience this InAudio unabridged presentation of The Tempest by William Shakespeare. The Tempest is a beautiful and sweeping drama by William Shakespeare, and is one of the Bard’s last plays. With a role written as a farewell to the theater, this emotional drama is a beautiful testament to Shakespeare’s talents as a storyteller and writer. The play centers around Prospero, a usurped ruler and powerful sorcerer who lives out his days on a remote island with little humans to interact with. Prospero seeks his revenge on his brother by causing his ship to wreck on his island, and the adventure of the play begins. The story contains many of Shakespeare’s favorite tropes: magical and devilish spirits, a passionate and exciting romance, and a powerful look at the results of seeking justice and vengeance–all wrapped up in beautiful poetry, such as a soliloquy that doubles as Shakespeare’s ode to his own career.

The Self-Scarred Church: Healing for the Seven Most Damaging Self-Inflicted Wounds to the Church
God is calling for a change in the Church. Let it begin with you. This is a must-read for everyone, particularly pastors, church officers, and those aspiring to ministry. The Self-Scarred Church discusses the seven most damaging self-inflicted wounds to the church — (1) Lack of Vision, (2) Survival Mentality, (3) Anti-Pharisaical Tendencies, (4) Crab Syndrome, (5) Poverty Mentality, (6) Recognition Curse, and (7) King Leadership. Through an in-depth discussion of these seven wounds, Rosemarie Downer, without reservation, highlights the deficiencies and incompetence that for decades have slowed down and, in many ways, impeded the progress of the Church. She uncovers some sleeping giants in the Church but is careful to give some sound advice that are grounded in the Word. Church leaders — bishops, pastors, ministers, entire ministerial staff — and aspiring ministers and lay members of all Christian denominations should read this book.

“How far that little candle throws his beams! So shines a good deed in a weary world.” Bassanio is a man in love, but he does not have much money to his name, and thus is unable to woo the rich heiress Portia. His friend Antonio suggests that they borrow money from Shylock, a Jewish moneylender who has had many dealings with Antonio in the past. Shylock, being of Antonio’s ability to repay, agrees to grant the loan with a difficult condition. If the loan is not repaid in full by the agreed date, Shylock will take a pound of Antonio’s flesh. The loan is not paid in time, and what follows is a dramatic courtroom scene in which Shylock’s demands are met with legal intricacies that turn the tables on him. The lengthy legal discussion ends up with lives and fortunes on the line, and through the opposition’s knowledge of in-depth legal rules and policies, the result of the trial is not what anyone expects. Depending on the critical lens with which this text is approached, Shylock or Antonio can each be portrayed as the villain or hero from a certain point of view. The Merchant of Venice is often read and analyzed for its portrayal of Judaism and antisemitism, its spin on the common courtroom drama, and for Shakespeare’s signature witty writing and observations about humanity. It is a play that, like many of Shakespeare’s works, can be read and interpreted in many ways, and leaves the final judgments of the characters to the audience to decide.
