 Elena Gambino, "Erotic Knowledge: Toward a Lesbian Feminist Political Theory" English | ISBN: 1478033770 | 2026 | 208 pages | PDF | 3 MB Erotic Knowledge explores how US lesbian feminists raised questions about the political stakes of sexual freedom, how their distinctive political vocabularies informed coalition- and institution-building in ways that strain against contemporary queer and feminist assumptions, and how these alternative grammars were left behind in the decades since lesbian feminism's remarkable surge in the 1970s. Elena Gambino makes the case that the past of US lesbian feminism is rich in resources not only for rethinking vital questions of sexual freedom in the present, but also for incorporating these questions into a broader understanding of the silencing effects of disciplinary historical knowledge. Drawing on archival sources typically ignored in political theory, such as lesbian feminist poetry, literary criticism, and the publications of small presses and periodicals, Gambino argues that the full extent of lesbian feminists' contributions should be seen as a distinctive form of political analysis that which can guide lesbian feminist interventions in sexual intimacy, epistemology, and institution-building.  Anne Carson, "Eros the Bittersweet: An Essay " English | ISBN: 0691247935 | 2023 | 208 pages | MOBI | 273 KB Named one of the 100 best nonfiction books of all time by the Modern Library  Ed Stafford, "Epic Expeditions: 25 Great Explorations into the Unknown" English | ISBN: 071125964X | 2021 | 262 pages | MOBI | 4 MB What does it take to survive in the unknown?  David A. deSilva, "Ephesians " English | ISBN: 1108493718 | 2022 | 350 pages | PDF | 2 MB In this commentary, David deSilva approaches Ephesians as Paul's contribution to the ongoing work of forming his converts' individual and collective identity in Christ through the celebration of God's activity (past, ongoing, and future) on behalf of all who had responded in trust and faithfulness toward Jesus throughout the eastern Roman empire. He explores how Paul's first-century audiences in Roman Asia would have understood and responded to his message, particularly his promotion of the attitudes, pursuits, and practices that would constitute an appropriate response of gratitude for so costly a deliverance and so magnificent a destiny. deSilva's discussion is richly grounded in the Jewish and Greco-Roman contexts that both informed Paul as he composed and his audiences as they engaged his message. He is also attentive to points of relevance to the modern contexts of today's readers who continue to wrestle with Paul's vision for Christian discipleship and human community.  Aleister Crowley, "Enochian Sex Magic And How to Workbook" English | ISBN: 1561845434 | 2021 | 176 pages | EPUB | 3 MB This book gives the student immediate access to the world's most powerful, yet misunderstood system of Magick.

David Yeung, "Engaging Multiple Personalities" English | ISBN: 1496154215 | 2014 | 232 pages | AZW3 | 769 KB The general public is bewildered and fascinated by Multiple Personality Disorder/Dissociative Identity Disorder. Through books, television and movies, a distorted view of DID is often presented. While it may make for good entertainment, it fails to truly present the depth and intensity of the inherent trauma. Outside the ordinary day-to-day life experience of most people, it is hard to understand. Ignoring past trauma simply will not help a patient. In his psychiatric practice, the author encountered a number of his patients' alters face-to-face. He found that the most effective course of therapy was to engage them directly. Talking to alters is a strange, serious and ultimately compelling experience. They are not real according to our customary definitions, but neither are they false or fake. They are survivors of childhood abuse, present in shared flesh and blood. The author discusses the phenomenon of DID through case histories, and how it manifests clinically. Most important, he elucidates techniques necessary to help these traumatized patients heal. DID patients can successfully engage in and profit from therapy. By processing the impact of their past traumatic memory, they may reclaim their present. |
