Bad Bitches of Antiquity
A feminist retelling of the most formidable women in world mythology. Move over, Zeus. The most powerful goddesses, mortals, and sorceresses of the ancient world have something to say. Bad Bitches of Antiquity is the modern compendium of badass mythological women who used their powers, prowess, mischief, and cleverness to make moves, exact revenge, bestow miracles, and cleverly control the comings and goings of mortals and gods alike. This timely--and timeless--book takes a fresh look at the unforgettable women of mythology, answering questions such as: Was Demeter a forlorn mother who lost her child or the reason for the seasons? Is Ariadne merely the wife of Dionysus or a keeper of labyrinths worthy of a constellation? Was Ixchel a simple fertility goddess or a fierce protector of women? From Medusa to the Morr穩gan, Atalanta to Athena, and Persephone to Pele, readers will discover the empowering and relatable truth behind the immortal curtain of their favorite tales. Each captivating story embraces the multitudes within these mythical women to present them with the grace, humor, and hint of irreverence they truly deserve.

From flying friars to severed heads, this book explores the wild lives (and deaths) of saints and pulls the curtain back on the oddest quirks of religious doctrine.Whether you're a lifelong Catholic or a weird-history enthusiast, How to Be a Saint is your ultimate guide to understanding the hilarious, fascinating, and shockingly true history of sainthood.
The Modernized Bird's Opening
Bird's Opening is currently in that 'Goldilocks' zone of the great arbitrages in life. The majority of chess players have dismissed it overlooking its inherent value and this allows for adopters of the Bird to take advantage of this asymmetry. As of this writing, it is played 0.9% of the time in online databases and this drops to 0.2% (!) in the master's database of OTB games. For reference in the OTB database 1.e4 is played 45% of the time. So for every 225 OTB games your opponent plays against 1.e4, he plays against the Bird once. While a case could be made that 1.e4 or 1.d4 are stronger, the objective difference between them and the Bird is infinitesimal. The way I see it, people will continue to ignore the Bird for the foreseeable future. Unless this book sells a million copies, the Bird will never be played remotely close to the frequency it deserves. Because of this it will never be worth your opponent's while to study it, so it will always carry great surprise value. The book is structured around the Lichess database for players rated between 1200 and 2000 - so if you are in this category the repertoire will synchronize perfectly with the lines your opponents are choosing in your own games. Whenever possible I have sought out lines to surprise your opponent and give them the toughest time figuring things out.

Be a Difficult Bridge Opponent
Many players you face are competent enough, but fairly easy to play against. Just a few will be in a altogether different category. Not only do they bid and play accurately, they constantly find a way to make your life difficult. They take away your bidding space by pre-empting on hands where other players tend to pass. Their switches in defense often create a problem for you. They are... difficult opponents.In this book, we will look at bidding, declarer play and defense, showing how you can join this elite group. We will recommend pre-emptive opening bids, sometimes only on five-card suits. Also, you must sometimes take risks with a fit for partner, raising to a higher level than you may do at present. As declarer, you will hide your intentions, disguise your hand, and choose lines of play that make the defenders sit back in their chair. When defending, you must envision declarer's plan and find a way to engineer a problem or a tricky guess.Why should you want to do this? The main reason, of course, is to improve your results and win more events. Just as important is the enjoyment and excitement that playing in this way will bring. "How on earth did you beat the spade game on Board 11?" you will be asked!
