Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 I love having no clothes on me. I feel everything better that way. I feel a shivery-good sensation in my legs. I come up out of the sand and walk out of the way by the naupaka bush to pee. #2 I loved swimming. I would spend hours in the ocean, and when I was done, I would lie in the sun and feel warm fingers all over my skin. I would help my mom dig a hole in the sand for her belly to go in. #3 I wanted to have the make-people-do-stuff kind of ESP. I was always trying to get my dad to like me, but he was always grumpy. I thought about making him do something with ESP, but I was too noisy and bouncy for him to listen to me. #4 I was spanked many times as a child, and it always hurt. But I never feared my father. I was able to get into his head, and he would spank me all he wanted, but I wasn’t afraid of him.

"Two siblings get caught up in a wager between two manufactured gods, Roxicodone and Adderall, in this new thriller inspired by the opioid crisis"--
THE BLACK SEA is at once a homage to an ocean and its shores and an amazingly readable meditation on Eurasian history from the earliest times to the present. It evokes the culture, history and politics of the volatile region which surrounds the Black Sea. Ascherson recalls the world of Herodotus and Aeschylus; Ovid's place of exile on what is now the coast of Romania; the decline and fall of Byzantium; the mysterious fastness of the Chrisian Goths; the Tatar Khanates; the growth of Russian power across the grasslands, and the centuries of war between Ottoman and Russian Empires around the Black Sea; and in our own century the terrors of Stalinism and its fascist enemy, striving for mastery of these endlessly colourful and complex shores. This is a story of Greeks, Scythians, Samatians, Huns, Goths, Turks, Russian and Poles. This is the sea where Europe ended. It is the place where 'barbarism' was born.
Hidden in your body is a set of thirty-five divine objects that represent aspects of God; think of them as a vocabulary to describe your soul. They can help you explore your own perfect nature. With roots in Platonic philosophy and Sufi metaphysics, these eternal body-forms were discovered forty years ago and are only now being shared with the world. They don't just provide knowledge and even wisdom; they also grant immediate and sustained relief from everyday suffering. Spiritual coach and writer Neal Allen describes the discovery, the body-forms themselves, and gives step-by-step instructions for encountering them yourself. His wife, the novelist and memoirist Anne Lamott, contributes a sweet foreword that chronicles her encounter with a body-form on their first date.
