France, 1790s. In the chaos of the Revolution, a man wanders the streets with a hunger that defies science. Tarrare could eat a basket of apples in a single sitting, swallow corks, stones, and live animals. He was a medical anomaly, a spy for the French army (smuggling documents in his stomach), and a tragic figure cursed with a bottomless void inside him.This book investigates the grotesque and sad life of the greatest glutton in history. It separates the folklore from the medical reports of the time, exploring the boundaries of human physiology. Was it a damaged hypothalamus? A parasite? Or something worse?

Centuries before blockchain, the people of Yap in Micronesia solved the problem of money in a genius way. They used "Rai stones"limestone discs up to twelve feet wide. They were too heavy to move, so ownership was simply agreed upon by the community. One famous stone sank to the bottom of the ocean during transport, yet everyone agreed it still existed and could still be spent."The Stone Ledger" uses this fascinating anthropological case to deconstruct what money actually is: a system of trust and information, not physical value. It draws a direct line from the stone money of Yap to the digital ledgers of cryptocurrency, showing that the concept of "virtual money" is not a modern invention, but an ancient human truth.

Power, ambition, loyalty, and betrayal collide in William Shakespeares gripping historical tragedy, Julius Caesara timeless exploration of politics and the fragile nature of honor.Set in ancient Rome, the play follows the dramatic events surrounding the rise and assassination of Julius Caesar, a triumphant general whose growing influence sparks fear among the Roman elite. Though celebrated by the masses, Caesars ascent to near-absolute authority alarms a group of senators who worry that the Republic is on the brink of tyranny. Among them is Brutus, a noble and respected statesman torn between his deep friendship with Caesar and his unwavering devotion to Rome.Persuaded by the cunning and manipulative Cassius, Brutus joins a conspiracy to prevent Caesars coronation. What follows is one of literatures most powerful depictions of political intrigue and moral conflict. The conspirators strike in the name of libertybut their actions unleash chaos rather than stability. As Rome descends into unrest, alliances shift, loyalties fracture, and the cost of idealism becomes devastatingly clear.Central to the drama are unforgettable speeches that continue to resonate through history, including Mark Antonys masterful funeral oration"Friends, Romans, countrymen"a turning point that transforms public opinion and ignites civil war. Through these iconic moments, Shakespeare demonstrates the power of rhetoric to shape truth, manipulate emotion, and alter the course of history.Beyond its political drama, Julius Caesar is a profound study of human character. Brutus emerges as a tragic figure, guided by honor yet undone by misjudgment. Caesar himself, though assassinated early in the play, remains a commanding presence, symbolizing both strength and vulnerability. Themes of fate versus free will, public duty versus private loyalty, and the consequences of unchecked ambition echo throughout the narrative.Written in 1599, this masterpiece remains strikingly relevant, offering insight into leadership, democracy, and the volatility of public opinion. Shakespeares rich language, complex characters, and penetrating understanding of human nature make Julius Caesar not only a cornerstone of dramatic literature but also a compelling reflection on the timeless struggle for power.Bold, thought-provoking, and unforgettable, Julius Caesar continues to captivate readers and audiences with its exploration of political morality and the enduring question: when does the defense of freedom become an act of destruction?

Our relationship with home includes many psychosomatic realms: perception, imagination, fantasy, projection, separateness, boundaries, smells, and sounds. Our very first home is our mothers womb; our very last, an urn or coffin. In between, we have our childhood home, deeply incorporated into our psyche, which persists, throughout life, as (hopefully) a fond prototype, an object of nostalgia, and a source of ego-replenishment, college dorms, shared housing, apartments, marital and family homes, downsized residences of late middle age, retirement homes, nursing homes, and hospices. Far apart from a world of linear progression are traumatizing homes, foster homes, and orphanages where searingly painful as well as defiantly triumphant scenarios of growth and development may unfold. Also, monasteries, which embody the human desire for detachment, silence, and contemplation, away from earthly relations to seek spirituality and transcendence. The contributions from Aisha Abbasi, Salman Akhtar, Rajiv Gulati, M. Nasir Ilahi, Gurmeet S. Kanwal, Murad Khan, Milan Patel, Sarita Singh, and Nidhi Tewari seek to demonstrate that at each step in the life span, our dwellings both impact upon and reflect our intrapsychic goings-on. As well as examinations of the kinds of home mentioned above, the abstract nature of home is also explored, looking at its function, the search for a sense of home, homesickness, absence, nostalgia, and the development of a stable internalized home. Theres no place like home and Attics and Basements shows us why.
