Y: The Descent Of Men - Professor Steve Jones
Men, towards the end of the last millennium, felt a sudden tightening of the bowels with the news that the services of their sex had at last been dispensed with. Dolly the Sheep - conceived without male assistance - had arrived. Her birth reminded at least half the population of how precarious man''s position may be. What is the point of being a man? For a brief and essential instant he is a donor of DNA; but outside that glorious moment his role is hard to understand.This book is about science not society; about maleness not manhood. The condition is, in the end, a matter of biology, whatever limits that science may have in explaining the human condition. Today''s advances in medicine and in genetics mean at last we understand why men exist and why they are so frequent. We understand from hormones to hydraulics how man''s machinery works, why he dies so young and how his brain differs from that of the rest of mankind.

Men Who Hate Women and the Women Who Love Them - Susan Forwardová, Joan Torres
Is this the way love is supposed to feel?• Does the man you love assume the right to control how you live and behave?• Have you given up important activities or people to keep him happy?• Is he extremely jealous and possessive?• Does he switch from charm to anger without warning?• Does he belittle your opinions, your feelings, or your accomplishments?• Does he withdraw love, money, approval, or sex to punish you?• Does he blame you for everything that goes wrong in the relationship?• Do you find yourself “walking on eggs” and apologizing all the time?If the questions here reveal a familiar pattern, you may be in love with a misogynist — a man who loves you, yet causes you tremendous pain because he acts as if he hates you.In this superb self-help guide, Dr. Susan Forward draws on case histories and the voices of men and women trapped in these negative relationships to help you understand your man’s destructive pattern and the part you play in it.She shows how to break the pattern, heal the hurt, regain your self-respect, and either rebuild your relationship or find the courage to love a truly loving man.

The Visionary Art of Nicholas Roerich - Jacqueline Decter
A fully illustrated biography of mystic, artist, and explorer Nicholas Roerich. Nicholas Roerich (1874–1947) was a Russian artist, writer, archaeologist, explorer, mystic, theosophist, and peacemaker who left a rich legacy of nearly 7,000 visionary paintings and 30 books on the mystic East. Twice nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize due to the Roerich Peace Pact—a remarkable treaty signed by President Roosevelt that sought to preserve cultural monuments during times of war—Roerich had a profound love for folk traditions of Russia, India, and Tibet, especially legends of lost cities and paradise. Together with his wife and two sons, from the 1890s into the 1950s, Roerich embarked on a number of spiritual quests through India, the Gobi Desert, the Altai and Kunlun Mountains, Mongolia, and Tibet, crisscrossing the Himalayan Mountains many times before settling in Kullu, India in the shadows of the great mountain range. Through his explorations throughout the world and the immersive art he created during those travels, he was seeking the grains of spiritual truth behind the legends of paradise lost, including during his pilgrimages in search of Shambala.

Ladies of the Throne - Leonora Miano
An astonishing new narrative of Mandu Yenu, a throne from the ancient Kingdom of Bamum. “Most of the time, it is the power of men that we remember.†With these words, which open Léonora Miano’s text for Objects Talk Back, an astonishing new narrative unfurls around Mandu Yenu, a throne from the ancient Kingdom of Bamum (present day Cameroon). The Germans long claimed the object was a gift from King Njoya to Kaiser Wilhelm II. Miano reads “between the lines of beads and cowrie shells†to show the complex intricacies of colonial and gender relations. Dismissing all pretense of egalitarianism between colonizer and colonized, she hones in on the very nature of power—how and by whom it is defined-wielded-subverted. King Njoya said he “felt like a woman in his relationship with the Germans.†Miano takes this as a prompt to examine contrasting cultural notions of femininity and thus reveals how central women are to the story of the throne. As the very name of the object suggests, it is the power of women we should remember. Â

Thief of Night - Holly Black
CAN YOU PROTECT YOURSELF FROM YOUR SHADOW?The highly-anticipated sequel to the No. 1 Sunday Times bestselling dark fantasy sensation, Book of Night.________________Charlie Hall used to be a talented con artist and thief – until her last job nearly killed her. Instead of walking away, she bartered her freedom to the Cabal, a ruthless circle of elite gloamists who trapped Charlie’s boyfriend, the powerful shadow named Vince. As the Cabal's new Hierophant, Charlie hunts rogue shadows on their behalf – not out of loyalty, but because it keeps Vince out of their hands. Or, at least, what’s left of him. The tether that binds Charlie and Vince erased every memory he had of her, leaving behind only Red – a dangerous Blight with Vince’s face. Cold, ruthless, and angry, Red doesn’t trust Charlie; he doesn’t like her, so when she’s pressed into service by the Cabal’s most manipulative member, the Puppeteer, she’s on her own. Charlie’s no investigator, just a thief in over her head, sent to track down the Blight behind a brutal church massacre. And worse, her own shadow is making plans to betray her. Vulnerable, heartbroken, and magically outmatched, Charlie has one last chance to save herself, but ... Unknown localization key: "more"

The Black Tax - Andrew W. Kahrl
Revealing a history that is deep, broad, and infuriating, The Black Tax casts a bold light on the racist practices long hidden in the shadows of America’s tax regimes.  American taxation is unfair, and it is most unfair to the very people who critically need its support. Not only do taxpayers with fewer resources—less wealth, power, and land—pay more than the well-off, but they are forced to fight for their rights within an unjust system that undermines any attempts to improve their position or economic standing. In The Black Tax, Andrew W. Kahrl reveals the shocking history and ruinous consequences of inequitable and predatory tax laws in this country—above all, widespread and devastating racial dispossession.  Throughout the twentieth century, African Americans acquired substantial amounts of property nationwide. But racist practices, obscure processes, and outright theft diminished their holdings and their power. Of these, Kahrl shows, few were more powerful, or more quietly destructive, than property taxes. He examines all the structural features and hidden traps within America’s tax system that have forced Black Americans to pay more for less and stripped them of their land and investments, and he reveals the staggering cost. The story of America’s now ... Unknown localization key: "more"

The Fiancee Rode In on a Donkey - Teresa Lavender Fagan, Venus Khoury–ghata
A lyrical novel with a poetic narrative about an overlooked individual in Arab African history. For two days the rabbi rides on a donkey to find the ideal fiancée. Legs and arms shaved, hands dyed with henna, a girl to be married must shine like a mirror. Every girl hopes to be the chosen one and ride off on a donkey to live in the city. The desert is the domain of men; they believe they see oases and palm trees sagging with fruit, while women see only sand on top of sand. A rapid look-around at the girls in the circle was enough for the traveling rabbi to find the right one. He chooses Yudah because of her name, a contraction of Yahuda, and because she lowered her eyes when he looked at her. The Fiancée Rode In on a Donkey tells Yudah’s story. Instead of experiencing her dream of being chosen and riding off on a donkey to live in a palace, she finds herself in an encampment of tents swaying in the wind. She also doesn’t find the Emir, who is battling on other fronts and soon surrenders. Yudah and the rest of his followers are exiled ... Unknown localization key: "more"
