The Tao of Spock: How Vulcan Philosophy Intersects with Taoism In the Star Trek Universe by Joseph D. Di Lella

About The Tao of Spock: How Vulcan Philosophy Intersects with Taoism In the Star Trek Universe by Joseph D. Di Lella

The beloved character of Mr. Spock in the Star Trek franchise has earned respect not only for his heroism and principled way of life, but also for the philosophical path of existence of his people he from Vulcan. Spock, a half-human, half-Vulcan, tries to live his life through the teaching of Surak – a non-violent branch of both Stoicism and Humanism. Through this approach with others, the Trek character shows his logical side, and yet there is another philosophical stance that often intersects with Spock’s behavior – Taoism.

Lao Tzu, a composite character of Chinese origin, also taught his followers how to approach life. Tzu’s Tao Te Ching deals with the areas of nature, political power, social interactions, family, and peace, among the most important areas of life humans must find their way.

Spock, a character from Gene Roddenberry, displays both the collective knowledge of Surak the Vulcan and Tzu the Chinese philosopher, as he helps Captain James T. Kirk and his fellow crew mates about the USS Enterprise as they explore the galaxy.

This book attempts to show you, the devoted Star Trek fan, how one Vulcan helped changed his universe through the teachings of Surak and Tzu in his search for peaceful co-existence even with the most vile and aggressive aliens, and humans, in the Alpha Quadrant.. If not for his efforts, the Roddenberry Universe would be a much more violent, war-like place.

About Landon Falls

When seventeen-year-old Chase Allen touches someone, he is inundated by every sin they’ve committed. To minimize human contact, Chase keeps to himself at home and school. But when his mother’s death abandons him to the cruel despotism of his abusive grandfather, he follows an inexorable calling by an unknown power to seek out his destiny in a world he doesn’t understand. Led to the seemingly bucolic small town of Landon Falls, he encounters an ancient evil that holds the town in its grasp and meets the town’s new preacher, Frank Williams, who is oddly immune to Chase’s sixth sense.
Addison Landon recently arrived in Landon Falls with her husband Turner, heir to the Landon Mining Company fortune. Pregnant with their first child, Addison is excited to make such a wealthy, powerful, benevolent family her own. But a price must be paid for the Landons to continue their powerful hold on the town, and Addison’s unborn child is the fee. Forced to choose between love of child and husband, Addison meets Chase, who causes her to doubt the narrative her new family has sold her. Little does she know the chilling secrets buried in this town’s history and deep beneath Landon Falls. If Chase, Frank, and Addison are to confront the true horror of Landon Falls, each must make a choice that could cost their lives.

Peppered Fruit: Stories from Bonnywood by Brian Lageose

Humor, nostalgia and whimsy converge in a collection of reflections and imaginings from 60 years of trying to find the good, however we could. This compendium of scribblings is mostly autobiographical, partly fantastical, decidedly progressive, and somewhat random, all of it infused with a firm belief that we should find the humor and heart whenever we can. Laughter and insistent hope may not solve all of our problems, but they certainly help us navigate the potholes in our personal and shared roads to wherever we are going.

Stay Soft, Get Eaten: The Complete Biography of Mitski

About Stay Soft, Get Eaten: The Complete Biography of Mitski

“It was my little secret garden that I tended to. No one else was allowed in. Things get lost, break, or disappear. People come and go. But my songs, my writing, it was mine.” – Mitski
Mitski is an artist shaped by contradiction. Born in Japan and raised across the globe before settling in America, a misplaced sense of identity plagued her upbringing. Yet this internal conflict eventually found a home. Mitski unleashed her raw vulnerability into music so uniquely passionate that listeners fell in worship. Unwittingly, Mitski became the voice for a generation of sadness. Her calling kept her afloat while the pressure of her rabid fandom pushed her down. Her brilliance had become both a gift and a burden.

Stay Soft, Get Eaten is the most comprehensive Mitski biography to date. By collecting hundreds of her quotes pulled from interviews, articles, and social media, we trace her rise from isolation to icon, unpacking her thoughts on the industry, depression, romance, and, of course, cultural identity. Using the crumbs of her wisdom, this book gradually unravels the enigma that is Mitski.

More importantly, we focus on Mitski’s music, giving ample pages to the entirety of her critically acclaimed discography, including The Land Is Inhospitable and So Are We, Puberty 2, and Be the Cowboy, which Pitchfork called the Best Album of 2018. If the information is out there, it’s in here, the definitive Mitski Bible. When you finish this book, you’ll know more about Mitski than anybody, and you will understand why Iggy Pop deemed her “the most advanced American songwriter I know”.

This celebrity biography was proudly written by a human author without the use of AI. That author is Jared Woods, the pen behind the In Her Own Words book series. These publications include the Fiona Apple book When a Song Ends in a Minor Key, and the phenomenally popular Lana Del Rey book F**ked My Way Up To The Top. Both are available now.

Prepare for the Zargian Delegation!

Leave a Comment

About Prepare for the Zargian Delegation!

“Prepare for the Zargian Delegation!” is the debut novel of humorous and satirical author, John Donkeyplonk. John spent 25 years in the UK civil service, in various Departments. His debut novel draws on that broad experience to imagine how the Civil Service would react to the news that an alien civilisation was sending a delegation to visit Earth. The result is a hilarious satirical romp through the Civil Service mindset – think a more up to date “Yes Minister” but with an added touch of alien!
The central character in “Prepare for the Zargian Delegation” is Ian Baines, a junior civil servant. Ian is surprised when he is invited to provide organisational and administrative support to the mysterious “Project Zarg.” He is even more surprised to find out that his boss is to be a nerdy Finance Director, Emmanuel Godley, who has been temporarily loaned to the Project to inject fresh and innovative business thinking. And when he discovers that the purpose of Project Zarg is to agree how to engage with beings from the Planet Zarg who are on their way to Earth to open negotiations ….
But how will the strange mix of civil servants on the Project decide to respond? Should we serenade the Zargians with the best of Earth music? Devise an interactive workshop? Or just blast them out of the skies before they even arrive? And why does Emmanuel Godley stick his head in a Perspex hood and constantly scratch his armpits? And who on earth are the “Leafies”?
Set in the UK, in London and in Sheffield, “Prepare for the Zargian Delegation” is a primarily a funny book for whoever reads it, although it does explore some serious issues, like the influence of religious cults, and surrogacy. It will appeal in particular to serving or former civil servants in any country; but also to anyone who has had to experience the “group think” of a bureaucracy or major corporation – or indeed to anyone with an irreverent sense of humour!
Reduced price of £8.99 until 18th July. That’s your lightweight vacation reading sorted!

Kiss Me Until There’s No You and I by Deba Rayne

About Kiss Me Until There’s No You and I by Deba Rayne

He paints to remember her. She writes to never forget him.

When Elira stumbles into a quiet art gallery tucked away from the world, she doesn’t expect to become someone’s muse—let alone to a man like Aurelian: reclusive, enigmatic, and haunted by the things he won’t say.

Drawn into his world of charcoal sketches and moonlit silences, Elira finds herself the subject of paintings she never posed for, poems she’s never written, and a kind of love that feels too deep for this lifetime.

But Aurelian is hiding something—a quiet ticking clock beneath every brushstroke, a goodbye built into every kiss.

As the seasons shift and their love begins to bloom, Elira must choose: walk away before she’s shattered, or stay and become the only thing he’ll leave behind.

Poetic, intimate, and devastatingly tender, Kiss Me Until There’s No You and I is a story of fleeting moments and eternal echoes—of lovers who become each other’s last masterpiece.
