Title: Mexican Magic: Brujeria, Spells, and Rituals for All Occasions Author: Laura Davila Narrator: Cynthia Farrell Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 6 hours 37 minutes Release date: November 19, 2024 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 5 of Total 1 Genres: Social Science Publisher's Summary: Algunos nacen con estrella y otros estrellados. This dicho (saying) roughly translates to 'Some are born with a star, while others are born starry.' It refers to the Mexican belief that good luck is a matter of fate, something you are born with or not. Mexicans attribute their good or bad luck to a greater force, to God's will, even to the stars in the sky. Being born with a star is a blessing. While some gain their luck through fate, Laura Davila believes even more in faith, virtue, and purpose. While there are some people who are born with a natural gift for magic, there are many others for whom life itself pushed them toward using magic. The best brujos and magical people are not those who necessarily started off in perfect circumstances but those who looked at magic as a skill to be mastered. Spells are the focus of Mexican Magic. The book features magical recipes, spells, tips, and advice for a wide variety of intentions, including love, lust, sex, good luck, money, protection, commerce, gambling, justice, pregnancy, travel, education, and more. Although the spells may be practiced by anyone, their flavor is Mexican, as they are deeply rooted in Mexican folk beliefs and magic. Davila also shares direction on how to be a magical person and live a magical life, with examples given from some influential Mexican historical and spiritual figures.

Written not from a post-crisis perspective—but from a preventative point of view—this book traces the development of financial derivatives from bonds to credit default swaps, and shows how mathematical formulas went beyond pricing to expand their use to the point where they dwarfed the real economy. You'll learn how the deadly allure of their ice-cold beauty has misled generations of economists and investors, and how continued reliance on these formulas can either assist future economic development, or send the global economy into the financial equivalent of a cardiac arrest. Rather than rehash tales of post-crisis fallout, this book focuses on preventing the next one. By exploring the heart of the shadow economy, you'll be better prepared to ride the rough waves of finance into the turbulent future.

A gentle, wise guide for everyone deconstructing their beliefs and struggling with the role of faith in their life As a “good Christian,” Karla Kamstra attended church every Sunday, listened to the pastor, and committed to functions and activities. But no amount of participation could shake her growing sense of spiritual unrest.

And so Karla embarked upon her sacred journey of deconstruction: healing her religious trauma and reclaiming her spirituality. Now, Rev Karla shares her journey in this wise, gentle guide to help anyone struggling with the role of faith in their lives. Listeners are called to demolish the oppressive, patriarchal structure upon which their faith has been built, repair what experiences with dysfunctional and destructive religion may have done to them, and restore their hearts and souls.

For anyone chafing against the confines of church doctrine—it's time to release God from the rules. A Macmillan Audio production from St. Martin’s Press Essentials.

Title: [German] - Wir sind anders, als ihr denkt - Der arabische Feminismus (Ungekürzte Lesung) Author: Claudia Mende Narrator: Astrid Kohrs Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 5 hours 23 minutes Release date: September 16, 2024 Genres: Social Science Publisher's Summary: Wie kämpfen Frauen in Nordafrika und im Nahen Osten für ihre Rechte? Was unterscheidet ihren Kampf von dem im Westen? Erfolge und Hindernisse des arabischen Feminismus Unternehmerinnen, Menschenrechtsanwältinnen, Politikerinnen - viele Menschen im Westen können sich nicht vorstellen, dass es solche Frauen in der arabischen Welt gibt. Denn es passt nicht zum gängigen Stereotyp der 'passiven, unterdrückten arabischen Frau'. Aber die schablonenhaften Bilder verhindern den Blick auf die Lebensrealität dieser Frauen. Sie streiten seit mehr als hundert Jahren für ihre Rechte, kämpfen gegen Gewalt und für Selbstbestimmung über ihre Leben und ihre Körper. Sie fordern gleiche Rechte und ein Ende männlicher Dominanz. Dieses Hörbuch blickt zurück auf die Anfänge des arabischen Feminismus und begleitet seine Entwicklung bis heute. Kenntnisreich analysiert Claudia Mende die regionalen Entwicklungen, aber auch den Einfluss des westlichen Feminismus auf sein Pendant im Orient. Dabei beschränkt sich die Autorin nicht darauf, über arabische Frauen zu berichten. Sie lässt sie selbst zu Wort kommen und zeichnet so ein facettenreiches Bild des arabischen Feminismus. Sprecherin Astrid Kohrs war unter vielen anderen im Hörbuch Und alle so still von Mareike Fallwickl zu hören. Packend und informativ liest sie Geschichten der arabischen Frauenrechtlerinnen.

Title: The First Clash: The Miraculous Greek Victory at Marathon and Its Impact on Western Civilization Author: James Lacey Narrator: Mike Cooper Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 7 hours 25 minutes Release date: September 6, 2024 Genres: Lessons in Philosophy Publisher's Summary: NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER Marathon—one of history’s most pivotal battles. Its very name evokes images of almost superhuman courage, endurance, and fighting spirit. But until now, the story of what happened at Marathon has been told exclusively through the narrow viewpoint of specialists in antiquity. In this eye-opening new book, acclaimed journalist Jim Lacey, both a military historian and a combat veteran, takes a fresh look at Marathon and reveals why the battle happened, how it was fought, and whether, in fact, it saved Western civilization. Lacey brilliantly reconstructs the world of the fifth century B.C. leading up to the astonishing military defeat of the Persian Empire by the vastly undermanned but determined Greek defenders. Using the seminal work of Herodotus as his starting point, Lacey reconstructs the tactical and strategic scenario of the battle, including how many combatants each side might have used and who actually led the Greeks. He also disputes the long-repeated myths of Athenian inexperience and effete Persian arrogance. With the kind of vivid detail that characterizes the best modern war reportage, Lacey shows how the heavily armed Persian army was shocked, demoralized, and ultimately defeated by the relentless assault of the Athenian phalanx, which battered the Persian line in a series of brutal attacks. He reveals the fascinating aftermath of Marathon, how its fighters became the equivalent of our “Greatest Generation,” and challenges the view of many historians that Marathon ultimately proved the Greek “Western way of war” to be the superior strategy for fighting—and winning—battles to the present day. Immediate, visceral, and full of new analyses that defy decades of conventional wisdom, The First Clash is a superb interpretation of a conflict that indeed made the world safe for Aristotle, Plato, and our own modern democracy. But it was also a battle whose legacy and lessons have often been misunderstood—perhaps, now more than ever, at our own peril. * This audiobook includes a downloadable PDF containing illustrated maps and the Dramatis Personae, from the printed book.

On a rainy day in May 1964, history professor Cecily Bridge-Davis begins to search for the sixty-five acres of land she inherited from her father’s family. The quest leads her to uncover a dark secret: In every generation, one offspring from each Bridge family unit vanishes—and is mysteriously whisked back in time. Rules have been established that must be followed to prevent dire consequences: Never interfere with past events. Always carry your free Negro papers. Search for the survival family packs in the orchard and surrounding forest. The ribbon on the pack designates the decade the pack was made to orient you in time. Do not speak to strangers unless absolutely necessary. With only a family Bible and a map marked with the locations of mysterious containers to aid her, Cecily heads to the library, hoping to discover the truth of how this curse began, and how it might be ended. As she moves through time, she encounters a circle of ancestors, including Sabrina Humbles, a free Black woman who must find the courage to seize an opportunity—or lose her heart; Luke Bridge, who traverses battlefields, slavery, and time itself to reunite with his family; Rebecca Bridge, a mother tested by an ominous threat; and Amelia Bridge, a young woman burdened with survivor's guilt who will face the challenge of a lifetime—and change Cecily's life forever. It is a race through time and against the clock to find the answers that will free her family forever. Shawntelle Madison’s historical fiction debut is an enthralling, page-turning family saga about the inevitability of fate, the invincibility of love, and the indelible bonds of family.
