12001. When Longing Becomes Your Lover: Breaking From Infatuation, Rejection, And Perfectionism To Find Authentic Love: A True Story : AudiobooksNow : USD12.49 What does it look like to be hopelessly, serially, persistently, and stubbornly in love not with someone, but with longing itself? Journalist and late-in-life virgin Amanda McCracken dated over 100 men before she realized she was addicted to longing, setting her on a 10-year journey to understand the fallacies behind her beliefs about love, sex and commitment. She invites you along for the sometimes thrilling, sometimes heartbreaking, always insightful ride. As Amanda endured one disappointment, letdown, and torpedoed fantasy after another, she began to understand that longing feels good. In fact, it can feel even better than actually being in love. Longing gives us a sense of control in our uncertain lives, and when we can always envision a more perfect relationship, we can ignore the very real problems that all relationships face. But longing can also become an addictive neurochemical boost that derails us from forming healthy, intimate relationships. Amanda describes her early childhood hero fantasies and how they evolved in her tween and teen years into a commitment to the purity movement espoused at her church. As she grew into young womanhood, her obsession with an idealized version of love led her to become addicted to longing – constantly craving the ideal partner in the ideal location at the ideal time, reveling in the high of anticipating the sex she knew she wasn't going to have. It became a protective mechanism in a “sex positive” dating world that demands physical intimacy but admonishes emotional intimacy, where options seem plentiful but connections ambiguous. In this searingly honest book, Amanda chronicles her many romantic encounters in today's dating world and what she learned about a concept called “limerence”: an obsessive rumination on a version of someone that doesn’t truly exist. Amanda weaves together her personal journey with research, storytelling, soul-searching questions, and quotes from expe |

12003. Mothering The Mother: African American Postpartum Traditions, Recipes And Healing : AudiobooksNow : USD12.49 A renowned midwife, doula trainer, and Master of Public Health celebrates the lost art of African American postnatal healing practices in this practical, essential guide to maternal health. As a mother, grandmother, and traditional midwife, Shafia M. Monroe intimately knows about childbirth and the fourth trimester. For over forty years, she’s helped thousands give birth, and has taught thousands more how to support birthing parents, all integrating the deep wisdom of African American healing traditions. Long suppressed by the white medical establishment, these practices—such as belly binding, heat, herbs, the lying-in period, and the “taking-out-of-bed ritual”—are powerful healing tools. Using them, we mother the mother through a healthy postpartum period. While this framework will be powerful healing for all mothers, the information in this book can save Black mothers' lives; with African American women disproportionately suffering from maternal mortality and morbidity, there is an urgent need for an embrace of African American postpartum care that surrounds the new mother and her baby with community, love, and protection. Mothering the Mother is a resource for Black women and communities to reclaim their cultural traditions for a healthy postpartum recuperation. |

A Scar Like A River : AudiobooksNow : USD13.99 From bestselling author Lisa Graff, this important coming-of-age story follows a thirteen-year-old with a mysterious scar on her face—and a big secret she feels pressured to keep. Fallon Little has a secret—and it’s not how she got the enormous scar that divides her face in two. Thirteen-year-old Fallon has only ever told one person what really happened on the day she got her scar. Why would she? The truth is dark, and Fallon has much brighter things to focus on, like being cast as the lead in the school play, and hanging out with her two best friends, Trent and Kaia. But when Fallon's uncle Geebie dies, his funeral ignites a wildfire of events that Fallon can't manage to tamp down. The school play is spiraling out of control, Fallon's impossible Aunt Lune comes to live with them, and Trent and Kaia might just be so into each other that there isn't room for Fallon in their friend group any more. And when secrets even worse than the one about Fallon's scar threaten to come to light, Fallon might not have the strength to keep them buried for much longer. Through unflinching prose and with a pitch-perfect voice, bestselling author Lisa Graff explores the power of confronting the past as a way to heal in the present in this propulsive and absorbing tour de force. |

All you need to do is activate your money habit.Additional content from Jean Chatzky, Pete Adeney, Ramit Sethi, Tiffany Aliche, Garrett Gunderson, Chris Guillebeau, Hala Taha, Justin Bennett, JL Collins, and Jack Raines. |

12010. Choose Your Self: How To Embrace Being Single, Heal Core Wounds, And Build A Life You Love : AudiobooksNow : USD10.49 “A liberating guide for every woman ready to embrace her own worth, heal deeply, and find fulfillment from within.” —Wendy Valentine, host of The Midlife Makeover Show and author of Women Waking UpIf you’ve been waiting for your life to start once your relationship status changes, it’s time to rethink things and learn to choose your self first. We often relate to singlehood as a phase that should be rushed and remedied by finding a partner, rather than relating to it as our most potent opportunity for growth. But if the priority is on being chosen over being the one to choose, you’re more likely to keep ending up with the wrong partner. It’s time to break these old patterns and embrace single life with compassion. “One of the great advantages of spending time intentionally single,” shares expert coach and therapist Megan Sherer, “is having time to self-reflect, to learn from your past, and to experiment with new ways of being. Key word: intentionally.”Sherer teaches how to fall in love with your own life and be unwilling to waver in the pursuit of a relationship as strong as the one you build within your self. Using personal story as well as potent reflection prompts, somatic exercises, and self-care practices, she shepherds you through the process of moving beyond attachment wounds to new levels of self-awareness to build a rock-solid foundation for your relationship with self. If you have an interest in partnering in the future, you’ll also discover how to do so in a way that allows you to remain true to your self. Here you’ll uncover:• Clarity in defining your desires• How your attachment style has impacted your relationships• Why you keep choosing emotionally unavailable people• What your patterns are and how to clean up old habits• How to manage your nervous system and heal your inner child• The magic of doing the things you thought you needed a partner forIt’s time to move from the disempowered experience of loneliness |

12027. Lighting The World: Transforming Our Energy Future By Bringing Electricity To Everyone : AudiobooksNow : USD11.49 This program is read by an AI-based synthesized voice.1.2 billion people on Earth still don't have electricity. Even where cell phones are now common, like sub-Saharan Africa and parts of India, villagers still walk miles to charge them. But new large-scale, sustainable solutions will not only usher in a new era of light, but be an important first step in lifting people from poverty and putting them on a road of sustainable economic development. Also, a unique, transforming opportunity for Western thinkers and practitioners will be created. These areas have largely skipped the analog stage of power development, and have moved straight from the middle ages to the digital age. They are not encumbered by existing infrastructure, dependence on fossil fuels, or too many outdated laws and regulations. An ideal innovation incubator, the developing world might just be the best way to make progress on our own energy issues at home.Jim Rogers is leading a grand collaborative effort to bring sustainable, clean electrical power to everyone who lacks it. This reverse engineering, he contends, could solve the energy crises of America and Europe, while also making the world a cleaner, smarter place. But it won't be easy. In Lighting the World, Rogers details the bold thinking, international cooperation, and political will required to illuminate the future for everyone. |

12028. The Judge's House Inspector Maigret : AudiobooksNow : USD8.99 “The most extraordinary fictive shaper in our time.” —George SteinerExiled to a sleepy town in western France, Maigret is relieved when he has to handle a challenging case. There’s been a murder in a mussel farming village and its most respected resident, the former judge Monsieur Forlacroix, has tried to dispose of the body in the river. But why will no one admit to knowing the dead man? And what connects him to Forlacroix’s pianist daughter, Lise, who is kept locked in her bedroom? With studied patience and an eye for subliminal clues, Maigret teases out the dark secrets that everyone in this insular community, it seems, has a motive to protect. A heady and atmospheric must-listen, The Judge’s House is Georges Simenon at his suspenseful best.A Macmillan Audio production from Farrar, Straus and Giroux |

As Maigret traces surprising connections between the dead woman and the hotel’s belowstairs staff, a story of unrequited love, self-reinvention, and blackmail emerges—with one tragic, luckless suspect at the center.Yet as Maigret knows, even the most compelling evidence isn’t infallible. Might a murkier, more disquieting truth lie behind the apparent facts of the matter? A riveting mystery and a startling journey into the darker corners of human nature, The Cellars of the Majestic showcases the full range of Georges Simenon’s uncanny psychological insight.A Macmillan Audio production from Farrar, Straus and Giroux |

12030. Signed, Picpus Inspector Maigret : AudiobooksNow : USD8.99 “I want to know what goes on in people’s minds. I suppose that’s why I love Georges Simenon so much. He was such a master of the small domestic situation.” —Ruth RendellTomorrow, at five in the afternoon, I will kill the clairvoyant. Signed,Picpus.This chilling message is seen scratched into a café blotting pad, prompting Maigret to place eighty fortune tellers under police watch. If it’s a hoax, he frets, he’ll never hear the end of it. Then the call comes in: clairvoyant Mademoiselle Jeanne has been fatally stabbed. While she lies dying, a senile old man is locked in an adjacent room. Maigret feels acute sympathy for this disheveled, bewildered figure—but who is he really? And how did his fate get mixed up with an audacious enterprise of scammers and thieves?The rest of Paris may be lazing under the bright August sun, but Maigret won’t rest until he solves this most labyrinthine of cases. With his deeply felt sense of the tragic, Georges Simenon composes a masterpiece of crime fiction in Signed, Picpus.A Macmillan Audio production from Farrar, Straus and Giroux |

12031. Inspector Cadaver Inspector Maigret : AudiobooksNow : USD9.99 “Open any of his novels—from the outset, the magic operates: from the first paragraph you are caught in the jaws of a trap that will not release you until the full-stop at the end of the last page, and even then with the book closed, you remain dizzy and panting as you try to regain your footing in your little familiar world of which, during a reading, you suddenly glimpsed the vertiginous reverse.” —Simon LeysIt’s a rainy January, and Maigret has left Paris for the country on unofficial business—or, as he reflects, a stupid escapade. The examining magistrate’s brother-in-law is rumored to have killed his daughter’s lover, and Maigret is tasked with clearing the man’s name. Arriving in gloomy Saint-Aubin, Maigret meets with strangely little cooperation, both from the accused and from the ill-disposed townspeople. And why is Justin Cavre, aka “Cadaver,” a despised ex-police inspector turned private eye, throwing obstacles in his path?As Maigret makes the rounds of this marshy backwater, he sees past all the obfuscation to expose a truth even more sordid than he first intuited. Featuring a cast of small-town characters with morals as gray as Saint-Aubin’s swirling fog, Inspector Cadaver is a haunting and compulsive installment in Georges Simenon’s masterful Maigret series.A Macmillan Audio production from Farrar, Straus and Giroux |

Flicie Inspector Maigret : AudiobooksNow : USD8.99 “Simenon was fascinated by peculiarities of human personality, which he described in elegant, simple prose . . . as pure as running water.” —Roger EbertIt’s the height of spring, and Maigret is grappling with doubly unfamiliar circumstances. He’s in the surreal new village of Jeanneville, outside Paris, where an elderly bachelor has been shot dead in his home. The prime witness, his twenty-four-year-old housekeeper, Félicie, may well be among Maigret’s most unnerving adversaries. Infuriatingly clever, singularly self-possessed, and overtly antagonistic, she is surely hiding something—but what?As their battle of wits pinballs the investigation between toy land–like Jeanneville and Paris’s seedy Place Pigalle, Maigret wonders what preoccupies him more: catching the perpetrator of a brutal murder, or solving the psychological puzzle box of Félicie? A diamond-sharp gem of crime fiction, Félicie is Georges Simenon at his mischievous best.A Macmillan Audio production from Farrar, Straus and Giroux |

Martha, Mickey, Rebecca—journalists, authors, mothers, lovers, friends.

12044. The Hired Man: A Novel : AudiobooksNow : USD13.49 The Dust Bowl sweeps a handsome stranger into a small Colorado town to dangerous effect1937. It’s been seven years since the dust storms started in Colorado. Folks can barely remember a time when the clouds were filled with rain instead of dirt, and when the fields were green instead of brown. High school student Martha Helen Kessler and her family are luckier than most; they still eke out a living from the land. Even so, evidence of the Dust Bowl’s grim impact on families, especially on the women who bear the brunt of their husbands’ frustration and their children’s hunger, is everywhere. When Martha Helen’s compassionate mother insists they take in Otis Hobbs, a handsome drifter who saves a local boy from a vicious storm, she quickly discovers a darker side to their rural community. Suspicion, jealousy, and prejudice grip their neighbors – and emotions reach a frenzy after Martha Helen’s best friend, Frankie, disappears and is then found murdered. Ultimately, Martha Helen is forced to make sense of her conflicting feelings and loyalties in order to help find retribution and to reconcile the difference between the law and justice. Full of period detail and Sandra Dallas’s trademark focus on the lives of women, The Hired Man entertains and ultimately surprises. |

12045. I Told You So!: Scientists Who Were Ridiculed, Exiled, And Imprisoned For Being Right : AudiobooksNow : USD13.49 An energetic and impassioned work of popular science about scientists who have had to fight for their revolutionary ideas to be accepted—from Darwin to Pasteur to modern day Nobel Prize winners.For two decades, Matt Kaplan has covered science for the Economist. He’s seen breakthroughs often occur in spite of, rather than because of, the behavior of the research community, and how support can be withheld for those who don’t conform or have the right connections. In this passionately argued and entertaining book, Kaplan narrates the history of the 19th century Hungarian physician Ignaz Semmelweis, who realized that Childbed fever—a devastating infection that only struck women who had recently given birth—was spread by doctors not washing their hands. Semmelweis was met with overwhelming hostility by those offended at the notion that doctors were at fault, and is a prime example of how the scientific community often fights new ideas, even when the facts are staring them in the face.In entertaining prose, Kaplan reveals scientific cases past and present to make his case. Some are familiar, like Galileo being threatened with torture and Nobel laureate Katalin Karikó being fired when on the brink of discovering how to wield mRNA–a finding that proved pivotal for the creation of the Covid-19 vaccine. Others less so, like researchers silenced for raising safety concerns about new drugs, and biologists ridiculed for revealing major flaws in the way rodent research is conducted. Kaplan shows how the scientific community can work faster and better by making reasonably small changes to the forces that shape it. |

12053. The Science Of Second Chances: A Revolution In Criminal Justice : AudiobooksNow : USD12.49 Freakonomics for criminal justice, The Science of Second Chances presents a groundbreaking approach to criminal justice reform, revealing how small-scale interventions can reduce people’s chances of reoffending and break the incarceration cycle.When criminal justice expert Jennifer Doleac thinks about reform, she’s not just hopeful, she’s optimistic that second chances are possible—for the justice-involved population and the system as a whole. In The Science of Second Chances, she reveals her powerful approach to reducing crime and incarceration. Drawing on cutting-edge economic research and real-world experiments, the book presents a blueprint for reform that runs all the way through the system. Doleac shows how economists like herself approach big, complicated problems as if they were scientists in a lab, carefully testing different approaches and following the data to maximize impact. She explains how shifting the incentives people face can produce dramatic changes in the decisions they make, significantly reducing the number of people cycling through the prison system. From DNA databases that increase the likelihood of catching reoffenders to leniency programs for first-time defendants, she reveals a series of surprising interventions that actually work, along with cautionary tales about great ideas that never panned out.Doleac doesn’t have a “burn it all down” mentality but seeks to empower readers with practical, achievable solutions. She demonstrates that we can have both public safety and a smaller, less intrusive justice system—without waiting for big, structural reforms that might never come. By shifting focus from the enormity of the problem to the power of small, evidence-based changes, she offers a transformative approach to prosecution and punishment. The Science of Second Chances is essential reading for anyone seeking data-driven strategies to revolutionize the criminal justice system and create the society we want and need. |

12054. The Coming Storm: Power, Conflict, And Warnings From History : AudiobooksNow : USD11.49 A Foreign Policy most anticipated book of the yearFrom a renowned Yale historian comes a chilling look at the looming threat of the next Great Power war and the urgent interventions necessary to avoid it in the twenty-first century. The vast majority of people alive today have come of age in a world of remarkable stability, presided over by either one or two Superpowers. This is not to say the world has been peaceful; but it has, to a great extent, been predictable. As an increasing number of Great Powers jostle for regional supremacy, as well as competitive advantage in nuclear technology, artificial intelligence, space exploration, and trade, our world has become more fragile, unpredictable—and combustible. The outbreak of global war among today’s Great Powers seems increasingly likely. Such war, as Odd Arne Westad powerfully argues in this urgent book, would be of a magnitude and devastation never before seen. To understand the threats that face us in this complex new terrain, we must look to the lessons of the past, and especially the late nineteenth and early twentieth century—a time when Great Powers clashed and sought regional dominance, nationalism and populism were on the rise, and many felt that globalization had failed them; a time when tariffs increased, immigration and terrorism were among the biggest issues of the day, and a growing number of people blamed the citizens of other countries for their problems. A time, in other words, that carries eerie parallels with our own. |

Once we realize that all humans are beings through which the Divine flows, fear-based separation will crumble, clearing the way for a better world. The Guides’ message is nothing short of revolutionary: humanity is at a time of reckoning, and we must face ourselves and our creations in order to recognize the shared divinity within us all.A Macmillan Audio production from St. Martin’s Press Essentials |

12062. Art Cure: The Science Of How The Arts Save Lives : AudiobooksNow : USD13.49 A groundbreaking exposé showing how the arts—alongside diet, sleep, exercise and nature—are the forgotten fifth pillar of health. This program is read by the author.From cradle to grave, engaging in the arts has remarkable effects on our health and well-being. Music supports the architectural development of children’s brains. Artistic hobbies help our brains to stay resilient against dementia. Dance and magic tricks build new neural pathways for people with brain injuries. Arts and music act just like drugs to decrease depression, stress, and pain, reducing our dependence on medication. Going to live music events, museums, exhibitions, and the theater decreases our risk of future loneliness and frailty. Engaging in the arts improves the functioning of every major organ system in the body, even helping us to live longer.This isn’t sensationalism, it’s science: the results of decades of studies gathering data from neuroimaging, molecular biomarkers, wearable sensors, cognitive assessments, and electronic health records. From professor Daisy Fancourt, an award-winning scientist and science communicator and director of the World Health Organization’s Collaborating Centre for Arts and Health, this audiobook will fundamentally change the way you value and engage with the arts in your daily life and give you the tools to optimize how, when, and what arts you engage in to achieve your health goals.

As a teenager, she saw a chance to escape and took it.

Her partner and two beloved daughters are regular subjects of her paintings, and together they have made the safe home she always longed for. But Saoirse's secrets haunt her. No one must learn of the identity she has stolen in order to survive; they cannot know of the dangers that she crossed an ocean to escape.When her artwork wins unexpected acclaim at a Dublin exhibition, the spotlight of fame threatens to unravel the careful lies that hold her world together. Journalists and admirers begin to ask questions about the mysterious artist from Donegal, and she fears the unwanted publicity will expose all that she has done.Saoirse is an evocative, suspenseful exploration of the intimate relationship between art and life and the lies we tell ourselves in the name of reinvention. |

12064. The Last Kings Of Hollywood: Coppola, Lucas, Spielbergand The Battle For The Soul Of American Cinema : AudiobooksNow : USD14.49 The untold, intimate story of how three young visionaries—Francis Ford Coppola, George Lucas, and Steven Spielberg—revolutionized American cinema, creating the most iconic films in history while risking everything, redefining friendship, and shaping Hollywood as we know it. In the summer of 1967, as the old Hollywood studio system was dying, an intense, uncompromising young film school graduate named George Lucas walked onto the Warner Bros backlot for his first day working as an assistant to another up-and-coming, largely-unknown filmmaker, a boisterous father of two called Francis Ford Coppola. At the exact same time, across town on the Universal Studios lot, a film-obsessed twenty-year-old from a peripatetic Jewish family, Steven Spielberg, longed to break free from his apprenticeship for the struggling studio and become a film director in his own right.Within a year, the three men would become friends. Spielberg, prioritizing security, got his seven-year contract directing television. Lucas and Coppola, hungry for independence, left Hollywood for San Francisco to found an alternative studio, American Zoetrope, and make films without answering to corporate capitalism.Based on extensive research and hundreds of original interviews with the inner circle of these Hollywood icons, The Last Kings of Hollywood tells the thrilling, dramatic inside story of how, over the next fifteen years, the three filmmakers rivalled and supported each other, fell out and reconciled, and struggled to reinvent popular American cinema. Along the way, Coppola directed The Godfather, then the highest-grossing film of all-time, until Spielberg surpassed it with Jaws — whose record Lucas broke with Star Wars, which Spielberg surpassed again with E.T. By the early 1980s, they were the richest, best-known filmmakers in the world, each with an empire of their own. The Last Kings of Hollywood is an unprecedented chronicle of their rise, their dreams and demons, their triumphs and their |

12073. Miracle Children: Race, Education, And A True Story Of False Promises : AudiobooksNow : USD11.49 A riveting investigation into a school, a scam, and a notorious college admissions scandal that exposes the inequalities and racial segregation of American education, from two award-winning New York Times journalistsT.M. Landry College Prep, a small private school in Breaux Bridge, Louisiana, boasted a 100 percent college acceptance rate, placing students at nearly every Ivy League university in the country. The spectacle of Landry students opening their acceptance letters to Harvard and Yale was broadcast on television and even celebrated by Michelle Obama. It became a national ritual to watch the miraculous success of these youngsters—miraculous because Breaux Bridge is one of the poorest counties in the country, ranked close to the bottom for test scores and high school graduation rates. T.M. Landry was said to be “minting prodigies,” and the prodigies were often black.How did the school do it? It didn’t: It was a scam, pulled off with fake transcripts and personal essays telling fake stories of triumph over adversity. Worse, Landry’s success concealed a nightmare of alleged abuse and coercion. In a yearslong investigation, Katie Benner and Erica L. Green explored the lives of the students, the school, the town, and Ivy League admissions to understand why black teens were pressured to trade in racial stereotypes of hardship for opportunity.Gripping and illuminating, Miracle Children argues that the lesson of T.M. Landry is not that the school gamed the system but that it played by the rules—that its deceptions and abuses were the outcome of segregated schools, inequitable education, and the belief that elite colleges are the nation’s last path to life-changing economic opportunity.A Macmillan Audio production from Metropolitan Books |

Ash tries to avert catastrophe by gallantly rewinding time a few minutes, but instead, he transports them back to 1893. The duo finds themselves trapped in an unfamiliar, unwelcoming era, with no idea how to return to their own time—or if their own time even exists. Their cataclysmic leap across decades might have destroyed the world as they know it … Fate and free will intertwine in this page turning historical romance that sets two irresistible strangers down a chaotic, potentially apocalyptic path. “Will they or won’t they” takes on a whole new meaning as Gen and Ash fight for survival while falling in love. Hand to fans of Immortal Longings and Anatomy: A Love Story, and don’t miss companion novels Murder for the Modern Girl and A Starlet’s Secret to a Sensational Afterlife. A Junior Library Guild Gold Standard Selection “The story is full of action and heart, and at least a few unexpected twists. Give to readers who like a little mystery and adventure in their historical fiction, especially ones featuring a spunky lead.”—Booklist |

From the porch of his home, Charles Lamosway has watched the life he might have had unfold across the river on Maine’s Penobscot Reservation. He caught brief moments of his neighbor Elizabeth’s life—from the day she came home from the hospital to her early twenties.

12084. Volga Blues: A Journey Into The Heart Of Russia : AudiobooksNow : USD10.49 Winner of the Estense Prize A risky undercover reporting trip along Russia’s great mother-river, the Volga, reveals the tortuous history and frightening current fantasies of a nation. Since the invasion of Ukraine and ban on foreign reporters, Russia seems to have sunk into an even deeper shadow than in the darkest times of the Soviet Union. Only by presenting himself as an historian was Italian journalist Marzio G. Mian able to penetrate the Russian heartland, leading to his groundbreaking cover story for Harpers’ Magazine, “Behind the New Iron Curtain.” In Volga Blues, Russian history and literature inform every step of Mian’s revealing and perilous journey along Russia’s most culturally significant river, the fulcrum of its history, “the mother.” Along with Alessandro Cosmelli, his photographer; Vlad, their translator and fixer; and Katya, Vlad‘s girlfriend, Mian manages to gather firsthand accounts from ordinary Russians. They discuss not only the impact of the war, Western sanctions, and their country’s isolation, but how Russian culture has changed as a result. Stalin is back in favor, Lenin has been downgraded as a “Europeanized intellectual.” Newly sophisticated local and seasonal cuisine is all the rage. People cite centuries-old grievances to explain their fear of Western invasion, as they claim a willingness to accept nuclear apocalypse to save Russian pride. Talking with contemporary Russian intellectuals, entrepreneurs, priests, widows, mercenaries, and pacifists, Mian discovers how little the West knows about Russia and Russians. Deeply distrustful of democracy, yearning for the ideological and spiritual purity of the Orthodox Church, betrayed by and fearful of the West, and reassured by the brutal, fragile, ancient dream of an imperial civilization, they make clear that the Cold War has not yet ended. In visceral prose, Mian takes us across the floo |

12238. Teach Truth: The Struggle For Antiracist Education : AudiobooksNow : USD10.49 In just the last few years, scores of states have introduced or passed legislation that would require teachers to lie to students about structural racism and other forms of oppression. Books have been cut from curricula and pulled from school library shelves. Teachers have been fired and threatened with discipline.As longtime organizer, writer, and high school teacher Jesse Hagopian argues in Teach Truth, what's at stake is the freedom to tell the truth, the ability of students to understand the world they live in, and the preservation of knowledge systems that expose injustice. By exploring the roots and reach of the censorship movement, Hagopian shows how these efforts to suppress truth serve to uphold racial capitalism and silence the histories that threaten entrenched power.Yet the struggle for a liberatory education has a long history in the United States, from the days when it was illegal for Black people to be literate, to the Civil Rights and Black Power movements, to Black Lives Matter at School today. Teachers, students, and their allies are already building a movement—in the classroom, on campus, and in the streets—to defend antiracist education. |

12289. A Moon Will Rise From The Darkness: Reports On Israel's Genocide In Palestine : AudiobooksNow : USD9.49 Israel's genocide in Palestine and the complicity of powerful Western states is undermining international human rights and the UN system. The United States has imposed sanctions on lawyers, UN experts, and Palestinian officials in an attempt to bully and intimidate them into silence.

12292. Founding Fanatics: Extremism And The Formation Of American Democracy : AudiobooksNow : USD10.49 Scholars and citizens have often assumed that dispassionate rationality, reciprocity, and nonviolent tolerance are necessary conditions for the sustained development of democracy. Accordingly, they reject oppositional parties that spurn consensus and terms of mutual respect—and often use force to accomplish their political goals—denouncing extremists as antidemocratic.Founding Fanatics questions this understanding, examining how moments of tension, violence, and extremism in the US have sometimes served the pursuit of political equality. Noah Eber-Schmid focuses his analysis on the American Founding era, presenting case studies of the early memorialization of the Boston Massacre, popular debates over Shays' Rebellion, the thought and practices of the Democratic Societies, and the use of the French Revolution in political discourse. From this account of popular politics in the Founding era, Eber-Schmid draws new insights for theoretical approaches to contemporary American democracy, challenging assumptions that extremism is always a negative or antidemocratic force. By recognizing the role that democratic extremism has played in the development of American popular democracy, political theorists and citizens will better understand how such movements may contribute to the struggle to deepen and expand political equality and participation that continues today. |

12299. University: A Reckoning : AudiobooksNow : USD7.99 The American university-one of the most successful institutions in human history-is facing an unprecedented assault from the president of the US. Experts on authoritarianism have drawn comparisons to other countries where strongmen subdued universities as part of their power grabs. Yet as former Columbia president Lee C. Bollinger points out in his account of the university's significance, in such dire times one has no choice but to state clearly and forcefully what one stands for.Bollinger reveals how the structure of the university contributes to the success of the American system-because it provides those who study and work within it a degree of creative freedom hard to find elsewhere-and why that structure is both impossible to recreate and vulnerable to outside attack. The fundamental mission of the university is to enhance knowledge, but this is not merely a high-minded idea. It is, as Bollinger demonstrates, a notion rooted deeply in the Constitution, specifically the First Amendment, the basis of our political and social life. The university helps realize the First Amendment; the First Amendment helps make the university. Bollinger argues that, with the press diminished, the university remains the only source of truth-seeking for those who still believe in democracy. The university must be defended if the American experiment is to continue. |

12300. Carthage: A New History : AudiobooksNow : USD12.49 For six hundred years, the city of Carthage dominated the western Mediterranean. Founded in the ninth century BCE as a small colonial outpost, by the third, it had grown into the area's largest, richest empire. When, inevitably, it clashed with Rome for supremacy over the region, the conflict spanned over one century, three wars, and forty-three years of active fighting. After Carthage fell, the city was razed, and the tale of its defeat became a mere foundation stone in Rome's legend. But in this landmark new history—the first in over a decade—rising-star ancient historian Eve MacDonald restores the story of Carthage and its people to its rightful place in the history of the ancient world, reclaiming a lost culture long overshadowed by Roman mythmaking.MacDonald takes listeners on a journey from the Phoenician Levant of the early Iron Age to the Atlantic and all along the shores of Africa. In gripping narrative, MacDonald shows how and why the Romans came to so fear Carthage, as one of the few rivals ever to inflict multiple defeats upon them—and what the world lost when it was finally gone.Reclaimed from the Romans, Carthage is a dramatic tale from the other side of history—revealing that, without Carthage, there would be no Rome, and no modern world as we know it. |

12307. Between King Cotton And Queen Victoria: How Pirates, Smugglers, And Scoundrels Almost Saved The Confederacy : AudiobooksNow : USD10.49 Between King Cotton and Queen Victoria recenters our understanding of the Civil War by framing it as a hemispheric affair, deeply influenced by the actions of a network of private parties and minor officials in the Confederacy and British territory in and around North America. John Wilkes Booth likely would not have been in a position to assassinate Abraham Lincoln, for example, without the logistical support and assistance of the pro-Confederate network in Canada. That network, to which he was personally introduced in Montreal in the fall of 1864, was hosted and facilitated by willing colonials across the hemisphere. Many of its Confederate members arrived in British North America via a long-established transportation and communications network built around British colonies, especially Bermuda and the Bahamas, whose primary purpose was running the blockade. It is difficult to overstate how essential blockade running was for the rebellion's survival, and it would have been impossible without the aid of sympathetic colonials. The operations of this informal, semiprivate network were of enormous consequence for the course of the war and its aftermath, and our understanding of the Civil War is incomplete without a deeper reckoning with the power and potential for chaos of these private networks imbued with the power of a state. |

12311. The Illicit Global Economy: What Everyone Needs To Knowr : AudiobooksNow : USD10.49 The illicit global economy encompasses cross-border flows of goods, people, money, and information unauthorized by either the sending or receiving country.

Collectively, these flows reflect the illicit side of the global economy.The Illicit Global Economy: What Everyone Needs to Know® answers the key questions about how illicit global markets are structured and operate, how they intersect with state institutions and practices, how they interact with the legal economy, and how they shape and are shaped by domestic and international politics. This pithy yet authoritative primer helps listeners make sense of a crucial part of the global economy that is too often either neglected or distorted. In this regard, an underlying theme in the book is the need for a more historically informed critical perspective that challenges the many myths and misconceptions about the illicit global economy that are all-too-prevalent in contemporary media accounts, Hollywood depictions, popular books, and policy debates. |

The Conspiracists: Women, Extremism, And The Lure Of Belonging : AudiobooksNow : USD10.49 Leafing through photos from the January 6 insurrection, extremist researcher Noelle Cook was struck by how many women looked like her: middle-aged white women in puffy coats. Women were not on the fringes of the extreme right, she realized. They were radicalizing each other, and the pandemic was changing them. So who were the women of J6? And why did some of them believe in shape-shifting reptilians and the health benefits of colloidal silver?This is the world scholars call conspirituality, in which New Age religion, online wellness culture, and extremism blend and become laced with antisemitic and racist theories. With acute attention to the emotional lives of women and research on conspiracism, Cook introduces us to Tammy, who believed storming the Capitol would help take down a global cabal of pedophiles. We also meet Yvonne, convinced she is a starseed destined to lead others into the fifth dimension. We visit a trade show where vendors hawk everything from quantum healing devices to government cover-ups, and trace the movement's roots to a nineteenth-century mystical philosophy. Women are crafting entire worlds and we ignore these worlds at our own peril. As misinformation spreads and extremism intensifies, The Conspiracists does not seek to excuse women's conspiracism but rather to understand it. Otherwise, we have no hope of countering its force. |

A map's visual argument can change how cities are designed and how rivers flow, how wars are fought and how land claims are settled, how children learn about race and how colonialism becomes a habit of mind.

12346. Republic And Empire: Crisis, Revolution, And America's Early Independence : AudiobooksNow : USD9.99 A fresh look at the American Revolution as a major global event At the time of the American Revolution (1765–83), the British Empire had colonies in India, Africa, the Caribbean, the Pacific, Canada, Ireland, and Gibraltar. The thirteen rebellious American colonies accounted for half of the total number of provinces in the British world in 1776. What of the loyal half? Why did some of Britain's subjects feel so aggrieved that they wanted to establish a new system of government, while others did not rebel? In this authoritative history, Trevor Burnard and Andrew Jackson O'Shaughnessy show that understanding the long-term causes of the American Revolution requires a global view. As much as it was an event in the history of the United States, the American Revolution was an imperial event produced by the upheavals of managing a far-flung set of imperial possessions during a turbulent period of reform. By looking beyond the familiar borders of the Revolution and considering colonies that did not rebel—Quebec, Nova Scotia, Bermuda, India, the British Caribbean, Senegal, and Ireland—Burnard and O'Shaughnessy go beyond the republican, liberal, and democratic aspects of the emerging American nation, providing a broader history that transcends what we think we know about the Revolution. |

12348. Thinking Historically: A Guide To Statecraft And Strategy : AudiobooksNow : USD10.49 It seems obvious that we should use history to improve policy. If we have a good understanding of the past, it should enable better decisions in the present, especially in the extraordinarily consequential worlds of statecraft and strategy. But how do we gain that knowledge? How should history be used? Sadly, it is rarely done well, and historians and decision-makers seldom interact. But in this remarkable book, Francis J. Gavin explains the many ways historical knowledge can help us understand and navigate the complex, often confusing world around us. Good historical work convincingly captures the challenges and complexities the decisionmaker faces. At its most useful, history is less a narrowly defined field of study than a practice, a mental awareness, a discernment, and a responsiveness to the past and how it unfolded into our present world—a discipline in the best sense of the word. Gavin demonstrates how a historical sensibility helps us to appreciate the unexpected; complicates our assumptions; makes the unfamiliar familiar and the familiar unfamiliar; and requires us, without entirely suspending moral judgment, to try to understand others on their own terms. This book is a powerful argument for thinking historically as a way for listeners to apply wisdom in encountering what is foreign to them. |

12350. Tanker War In The Gulf: Operation Earnest Will, Diplomacy And Seapower In Practice : AudiobooksNow : USD10.49 The past four decades have seen a number of United States military interventions in the Middle East, but only one of them is retrospectively seen as a success: Operation Earnest Will, the escort of Kuwaiti tankers through the Persian Gulf in 1987 and 1988. As an officer who participated in this operation who then served in the region as a diplomat, Tom Duffy offers a unique perspective on Earnest Will. He argues that the fact that Earnest Will was a limited war and that it was fought with navies was key to its success. Forty years later, this operation remains relevant to security policy, especially with regard to a potential conflict with China.This new and comprehensive account discusses every aspect of the operation, including the role of other navies in the Gulf at the time. Relevant strategic and political elements are covered, such as parallel activities in the United Nations Security Council and the role of United Nations Security Council Resolutions in ending the war. Considering the short-, medium-, and long-term impacts of Operation Earnest Will, Duffy explains how this maritime, limited war option illustrates key concepts from classical strategic thinkers, and why it is a demonstrably effective way to advance political goals and an example to keep in mind when facing future challenges in the Middle East and East Asia. |

12353. Blood & Hate: The Untold Story Of Marvelous Marvin Hagler's Battle For Glory : AudiobooksNow : USD10.49 Most know Marvelous Marvin Hagler from his epic battles against Thomas Hearns and John Mugabi and his controversial split-decision loss to Sugar Ray Leonard.

12355. Is God To Blame?: Beyond Pat Answers To The Problem Of Suffering : AudiobooksNow : USD10.49 Is God to blame?This is often the question that comes to mind when we confront real suffering in our own lives or in the lives of those we love. Pastor Gregory A. Boyd helps us deal with this question honestly and biblically, while avoiding glib answers.Writing for ordinary Christians, Boyd wrestles with a variety of answers that have been offered by theologians and pastors in the past. He finds that a fully Christian approach must keep the person and work of Jesus Christ at the very center of what we say about human suffering and God's place in it. Yet this is often just what is missing and what makes so much talk about the subject seem inadequate and at times even misleading.What comes through in Is God to Blame? is a hopeful picture of a sovereign God who is relentlessly opposed to evil, who knows our sufferings and who can be trusted to bring us through them to renewed life. |

12360. How Africa Works: Success And Failure On The World's Last Developmental Frontier : AudiobooksNow : USD12.49 In the 1980s, countries across Asia stunned the world with meteoric economic growth—but when eyes turn to Africa today, it is often to lament corruption, violence, and poverty rather than to scout the next developmental frontrunners. Yet some African nations, even in the face of challenging geography and the crippling legacies of colonialism, have found remarkable success. In How Africa Works, Joe Studwell draws on extensive research and travel across the continent to explore what's worked and what hasn't, and shows how the rapidly rising population—seen as alarming by so many—will be foundational to Africa's flourishing.Highlighting the insights and achievements of African leaders rather than the international community that presumes to know better, Studwell shows that there is a clear developmental path many successful nations have followed. He puts the spotlight on four countries that have seen exceptional economic growth—Botswana, Mauritius, Ethiopia, and Rwanda—and that demonstrate the promise as well as the particular challenge of the African context. Prosperity is well within reach, thanks to huge leaps forward in education and favorable demographics, but embracing winning polices and sidestepping misguided foreign interests will be key. Studwell's book is essential for anyone looking to understand the next chapter of global development. |

12361. Environmental Justice: A Very Short Introduction : AudiobooksNow : USD7.99 Environmental justice recognizes that environmental benefits and burdens should be distributed fairly, and that the people making policy decisions should incorporate the views of those most often harmed: people of color, Indigenous populations, low-income communities, and those who are underserved and disenfranchised for other reasons such as age, gender, or disability. It encompasses not only traditional environmental issues like clean air and clean water, but also social issues such as employment, nutrition, and access to health care. Although environmental justice is a relatively recent concept, it has become a focus of governmental environmental policy, UN actions, and the activities of many nongovernmental environmental organizations. Its development tracks our growing understanding of racism and wealth disparity in the United States and elsewhere, and of our understanding of inequality between the Global North and the Global South. In the era of climate change, climate justice is a particular focus.Environmental Justice: A Very Short Introduction defines the concept, identifies specific environmental justice populations, examines root causes, including racism, capitalism, and colonialism, and traces the history of the environmental justice movement and governmental responses to it. It concludes with suggestions for achieving this elusive goal. |

The Night House shows how a single fairy tale is actually a treasure box of coded knowledge and magickal practice that has remained largely intact, preserved under the floorboards of the Yaga's hut for us to find. |

12441. Reading The Bible On Turtle Island: An Invitation To North American Indigenous Interpretation : AudiobooksNow : USD10.49 In Reading the Bible on Turtle Island, Indigenous scholars Chris Hoklotubbe and Danny Zacharias explore what it means to read the Bible from the lens of Indigenous peoples in North America. Exploring the intersection of Scripture, Cultural Traditions, Hearts and Minds, and Creation, they affirm Creator's presence with Indigenous people since the beginning. By recovering these rich histories, this book offers a fresh reading of Scripture that celebrates the assets, blessings, and insights of Indigenous interpretation.Indigenous culture has often been dismissed or deemed problematic within Western Christian circles, and historical practices have often communicated that Indigenous worldviews have little to offer the church or its understanding of Scripture. Hoklotubbe and Zacharias challenge this perspective, reasserting the dignity of these cultures that were condemned through colonial practices and showing how Indigenous interpretations bring invaluable insights to all of God's people.Reading the Bible on Turtle Island is a vital resource for scholars who are interested in the intersection of biblical studies and social location, who are seeking to explore Scripture through an Indigenous hermeneutic, or who desire to learn more about the contributions of Indigenous worldviews to Biblical interpretation. |

12447. The Soul Of Strategy: Building Customer Centric Organizations : AudiobooksNow : USD10.49 When setting strategy, organizations typically spend too much time thinking about the competition and resources within the firm and not enough time on the customer-the soul of any organization. Such an approach is reflected in the fact that most popular theories of business strategy have focused on resource- and capability-based perspectives of the firm. Real-world businesses embracing and applying these intuitively attractive theories have struggled to compete, however, exactly because those theories fail to adequately account for the most important actor in all commercial transactions: the customer.In The Soul of Strategy, two veteran strategists and academics deliver a straightforward new approach to business strategy-one that builds and expands on the classic work of Peter Drucker-recognizing the inescapable reality, faced by every organization, that a firm's primary job is to create and keep customers.The book offers a comprehensive customer-centric strategy framework, a set of fresh perspectives and tools, and step-by-step guides to implementing the leadership styles, governance structures, and technology that companies require to outcompete their rivals in attracting and retaining customers. The book brings to life these key principles by using case studies and examples of organizations in a variety of industries. |

12501. The Journey To The West, Revised Edition, Volume 3 : AudiobooksNow : USD8.99 Read the legendary Chinese classic that inspired the hit game Black Myth: Wukong!Anthony C. Yu’s translation of The Journey to the West, initially published in 1983, introduced English-speaking audiences to the classic Chinese novel in its entirety for the first time. Written in the sixteenth century, The Journey to the West tells the story of the fourteen-year pilgrimage of the monk Xuanzang, one of China’s most famous religious heroes, and his three supernatural disciples, in search of Buddhist scriptures. Throughout his journey, Xuanzang fights demons who wish to eat him, communes with spirits, and traverses a land riddled with a multitude of obstacles, both real and fantastical. An adventure rich with danger and excitement, this seminal work of the Chinese literary canon is by turns allegory, satire, and fantasy.With over a hundred chapters written in both prose and poetry, The Journey to the West has always been a complicated and difficult text to render in English while preserving the lyricism of its language and the content of its plot. But Yu has successfully taken on the task, and in this new edition he has made his translations even more accurate and accessible. The explanatory notes are updated and augmented, and Yu has added new material to his introduction, based on his original research as well as on the newest literary criticism and scholarship on Chinese religious traditions. He has also modernized the transliterations included in each volume, using the now-standard Hanyu Pinyin romanization system. Perhaps most important, Yu has made changes to the translation itself in order to make it as precise as possible.One of the great works of Chinese literature, The Journey to the West is not only invaluable to scholars of Eastern religion and literature, but, in Yu’s elegant rendering, also a delight for any reader.This audiobook is expertly read by Brian Nishii, with audio engineering by Transien |

12502. Thinking Like A Lawyer: A New Introduction To Legal Reasoning : AudiobooksNow : USD8.99 This primer on legal reasoning is aimed at law students and upper-level undergraduates. But it is also an original exposition of basic legal concepts that scholars and lawyers will find stimulating. It covers such topics as rules, precedent, authority, analogical reasoning, the common law, statutory interpretation, legal realism, judicial opinions, legal facts, and burden of proof.In addressing the question whether legal reasoning is distinctive, Frederick Schauer emphasizes the formality and rule-dependence of law. When taking the words of a statute seriously, when following a rule even when it does not produce the best result, when treating the fact of a past decision as a reason for making the same decision again, or when relying on authoritative sources, the law embodies values other than simply that of making the best decision for the particular occasion or dispute. In thus pursuing goals of stability, predictability, and constraint on the idiosyncrasies of individual decision-makers, the law employs forms of reasoning that may not be unique to it but are far more dominant in legal decision-making than elsewhere.Schauer’s analysis of what makes legal reasoning special will be a valuable guide for students while also presenting a challenge to a wide range of current academic theories.This audiobook is expertly read by Katherine Dollison, with audio engineering by Blake Rook. It was produced and published by Echo Point Books & Media, an independent bookseller in Brattleboro, Vermont. |

12504. Discourses On Livy : AudiobooksNow : USD8.99 Discourses on Livy, written in 1531, is as essential to an understanding of Machiavelli as his famous treatise, The Prince. Equally controversial, it reveals his fundamental preference for a republican state.Comparing the practice of the ancient Romans with that of his contemporaries provided Machiavelli with a consistent point of view in all his works. Machiavelli's close analysis of Livy's history of Rome led him to advance his most original and outspoken view of politics--the belief that a healthy political body was characterized by social friction and conflict rather than by rigid stability. His discussion of conspiracies in Discourses on Livy is one of the most sophisticated treatments of archetypal political upheaval ever written. In an age of increasing political absolutism, Machiavelli's theories became a dangerous ideology.This new translation is richly annotated, providing the contemporary reader with sufficient historical, linguistic, and political information to understand and interpret the revolutionary affirmations Machiavelli made, based on the historical evidence he found in Livy.This edition of Discourses on Livy is translated by Julia Conaway Bondanella and Peter Bondanella is part of the Oxford World's Classics series, which has made available the broadest spectrum of literature from around the globe. Each affordable volume reflects Oxford's commitment to scholarship, providing the most accurate text plus a wealth of other valuable features, including expert introductions by leading authorities, voluminous notes to clarify the text, up-to-date bibliographies for further study, and much more.This audiobook is skillfully read by Peter Coates, and was produced and published by Echo Point Books & Media, an independent bookseller in Brattleboro, Vermont. |

12515. I Am Not A Number: Decoding The Prisoner : AudiobooksNow : USD8.99 The enormously puzzling TV series The Prisoner has developed a rapt cult following, and has often been described as 'surreal' or 'Kafkaesque.' Alex Cox watched all the episodes of The Prisoner on their first broadcast, at the ripe old age of thirteen. In I Am (Not) a Number, Cox believes he provides the answers to all the questions which have engrossed and confounded viewers including: Who is Number 6? Who runs The Village? Who - or what - is Number 1?According to Cox, the key to understanding The Prisoner is to view the series in the order in which the episodes were made - and not in the re-arranged order of the UK or US television screenings. In this book he provides an innovative and controversial 'explanation' for what is perhaps the best, the most original, and certainly the most perplexing, TV series of all time. 'Cox does a terrific job of giving a fresh interpretation to what must be the world's most analysed television series' SPECTATOR'The book will be of interest to both die-hard fans of The Prisoner and to curious first-time viewers keen to start exploring this perennially fascinating piece of cult TV' POP MATTERS'Clear and well-informed - written from a gifted film-maker's point of view, with a Coxian twinkle in its eye - this is the best guide to The Prisoner and its hidden depths that I have read.

12516. Psychogeography : AudiobooksNow : USD8.99 Psychogeography. In recent years this term has been used to illustrate a bewildering array of ideas from ley lines and the occult, to urban walking and political radicalism. But where does it come from and what exactly does it mean?This book examines the origins of psychogeography in the Paris of the 1950s, exploring the theoretical background and its political application in the work of Guy Debord and the Situationists. Psychogeography continues to find retrospective validation in much earlier traditions, from the visionary writing of William Blake and Thomas De Quincey to the rise of the flâneur and the avant-garde experimentatin of the Surrealists. These precursors to psychogeography are discussed here alongside their modern counterparts, for today these ideas hold greater currency than ever through the popularity of writers and filmmakers such as Iain Sinclair, Will Self and Patrick Keiller.From the urban wanderer to the armchair traveller, psychogeography provides us with new ways of experiencing our environment, transforming the familiar streets of our everyday experience into something new and unexpected. Merlin Coverley conducts the reader through this process, providing an explanation of the terms involved and an analysis of the key figures and their works.'This little book does exactly what an introduction should; it examines, explains, and whets the appetite' TELEGRAPH 'An excellent overview of a tradition that can be tricky to pin down and a great portal for loads of further reading' HUGH MARWOOD'This succinct book is a definite first port of call for anyone interested in this most esoteric of theories. A portmanteau of information, a pin-pointing of Psychogeography's literary impact and standing, and a stimulating read' 3:AM MAGAZINE |

12518. The Journey To The West, Revised Edition, Volume 2 : AudiobooksNow : USD8.99 Read the legendary Chinese classic that inspired the hit game Black Myth: Wukong!Anthony C. Yu’s translation of The Journey to the West, initially published in 1983, introduced English-speaking audiences to the classic Chinese novel in its entirety for the first time. Written in the sixteenth century, The Journey to the West tells the story of the fourteen-year pilgrimage of the monk Xuanzang, one of China’s most famous religious heroes, and his three supernatural disciples, in search of Buddhist scriptures. Throughout his journey, Xuanzang fights demons who wish to eat him, communes with spirits, and traverses a land riddled with a multitude of obstacles, both real and fantastical. An adventure rich with danger and excitement, this seminal work of the Chinese literary canon is by turns allegory, satire, and fantasy.With over a hundred chapters written in both prose and poetry, The Journey to the West has always been a complicated and difficult text to render in English while preserving the lyricism of its language and the content of its plot. But Yu has successfully taken on the task, and in this new edition he has made his translations even more accurate and accessible. The explanatory notes are updated and augmented, and Yu has added new material to his introduction, based on his original research as well as on the newest literary criticism and scholarship on Chinese religious traditions. He has also modernized the transliterations included in each volume, using the now-standard Hanyu Pinyin romanization system. Perhaps most important, Yu has made changes to the translation itself in order to make it as precise as possible.One of the great works of Chinese literature, The Journey to the West is not only invaluable to scholars of Eastern religion and literature, but, in Yu’s elegant rendering, also a delight for any reader.This audiobook is expertly read by Brian Nishii, with audio engineering by Transien |

Perhaps for the first time, all aspects of Taoism are brought together within one audiobook: popular Taoism with its lavish ceremonies, demon exorcism, oracles, ghosts, fox-fairies and adepts with strange powers; yogic Taoism with its emphasis on rejuvenation and longevity attained by means of sexual conservation yoga or by the ‘internal alchemy’; philosophical Taoism comprising ancient teachings which foreshadow present day youth's revolt against ruthless compulsion, hypocrisy, sterile pedagogy and over concern for money; and mystical Taoism which, like Zen, aims at direct experience of that reality which, lying beyond the confines of conceptual thought, is nevertheless ‘closer than a mother to a child in her womb’.Most of the audiobook relates to the author’s personal experiences as the guest of Taoist recluses practicing, amidst surroundings of exquisite natural beauty, the ego free Taoist art of ‘doing by not doing’. This is an interesting listen for those with general interest in Taoist philosophy. |

12531. Unlearning Languages That Control The Mind : AudiobooksNow : USD10.49 The edited collection Unlearning Languages That Control the Mind (ULCM) is to be listened to as a continuous multi–voiced work on what takes place when we forget that unlearning is a part of our existence as much as learning. As the world as we know it finds itself at a critical juncture yet again, how we talk about the continuously amassing genocidal invasions and authoritarian occupations of our minds, thoughts, bodies and environments will affect how we experience, process and counter them on a day–to–day basis. Based on this, ULCM offers its listeners a singular interdisciplinary blueprint of the inner and outer workings of motivated language use when in service of mind engineering and engineered acting. As such, it is a valuable enabling resource for anyone looking to identify and unlearn the languages that mask belief traps and cognitive distortions set up by various antisocial actors to keep our day–to–day cognition and acting confined to society as engineered laboratory. With its interdisciplinary breadth and engaging multimodal content, this handbook breaks new grounds in actionable application of science as an accessible community–enabling tool for seeing through, i.e. dismantling belief traps and mental distortions that turn language use into mindbody abuse. |

12550. The Other Side: A Story Of Women In Art And The Spirit World : AudiobooksNow : USD10.49 The first major work of art history to focus on women artists and their engagement with the spirit world, by the author of The Mirror and the Palette.It's not so long ago that a woman's expressed interest in other realms would have ruined her reputation, or even killed her. And yet spiritualism, in various incarnations, has influenced numerous men without repercussion. The fact that so many radical female artists also drank deeply from the same spiritual well has been sorely neglected for too long.In The Other Side, we explore the lives and work of a group of extraordinary women. While the individual work of these artists is unique, these women loosely shared the same goal: to communicate with, and learn from, other dimensions.Weaving in and out of these myriad lives while sharing her own memories of otherworldly experiences, Jennifer Higgie discusses the solace of ritual, the gender exclusions of art history, the contemporary relevance of myth, the boom in alternative ways of understanding the world and the impact of spiritualism on feminism and contemporary art. A radical reappraisal of a marginalized group of artists, The Other Side is an intoxicating blend of memoir, biography, and art history. |

12551. The Art Of Status: Looted Treasures And The Global Politics Of Restitution : AudiobooksNow : USD10.49 An illuminating exploration of the relationship between the restitution of looted art, global status, and the international construction of national cultural heritage.Why is art restitution a matter of politics? How does the artwork displayed in national museums reflect the international status of the state that owns it? Why do some states agree to return looted art and others resist?National art collections have long been a way for states to compete with each other for status, prestige, and cultural worth in international society. In many former imperial nations, however, these collections include art looted during imperial expansions and colonial occupations. While this was once a sign of high international standing, the markers of such status, particularly in the context of art, have since significantly changed. A new international legal and normative architecture governing art provenance developed after World War II and became institutionalized in the 1990s and 2000s. Since then, there have been national and global social movements demanding the return of looted art. This shift has established not only that looting is wrong but, more importantly, that restitution is morally right. As a result of this reframing of what it means to own art, an artifact's historical provenance has become a core element of its value and the search for provenance and demands for restitution have become a direct threat to state status. The same objects that granted states high international status now threaten to provoke status decline. In The Art of Status, Jelena Suboti? illustrates the larger questions of how national cultural heritage is internationally constructed and how it serves states' desire for international status and prestige. |

12572. Cheese Trekking: How Microbes, Landscapes, Livestock, And Human Cultures Shape Terroir : AudiobooksNow : USD8.99 Cheese Trekking recounts the author’s experiences visiting pastoral communities and cheesemakers in various countries and explains how cheeses can be local manifestations while also representing global archetypes, strategies that have been adopted in many places. It describes the constellations (a range of complementary milk foods that utilize all byproducts of cheesemaking) of various regions through a wide-angle lens. The central premise is that milk has a terroir, born from the plants and ecology of a landscape, that is concentrated via ruminant digestion and lactation and carries through the barns and milk sheds to be steered by human hands and cultural practices into foods. There is a growing international movement to return to the roots of natural cheesemaking, at the core of which is a philosophy of working with rather than against microbes and nature; the sacredness of motherhood, milk, and life itself; and the ethics involved in dairying, given its intimate involvement with the killing, and eating of livestock. It offers firsthand evidence that humans can be stewards of landscapes, shepherds of microbes, and keepers of genetic wealth in the form of heritage livestock breeds, while crafting delicious, safe, nutrient-dense milk foods. |

12593. The Shorter Byron: Lyrical And Other Poems, Satirical And Occasional Verse, And Letters : AudiobooksNow : USD11.47 Together with William Wordsworth, Samuel Taylor Coleridge, Percy Bysshe Shelley, and John Keats, George Gordon, Lord Byron (1788–1824) was one of the most iconic literary figures of the early Romantic movement. His verse covers a wide range of genres, including large scale narrative poems, sonnets, and satirical quips. Byron led a most adventurous life, which included many romantic affairs and he died fighting in the Greek War of Independence. There were two major influences on Byron’s poetry. One was the romantic, which he shared with his friends, Coleridge and Shelley; the other was the eighteenth-century Augustan mode, of which Alexander Pope was the greatest master. Byron’s natural facility with rhyme and metre enabled him to be very prolific, and some critics considered that this precocity resulted in a certain shallowness and facile charm. However, much of Byron’s verse displays both philosophic and emotional depth, and in his more satirical work he evinces a sharpness of perception characteristic of his poetic hero, Pope. This collection contains a wide range of pieces, demonstrating Byron’s versatility in form and expression. Also include is a selection of Byron’s letters to colleagues, friends, and lovers, which show the poet in his more revealing and unguarded moments. |

What he’s learned is the culmination of twenty-five years of digging into the story, first as a reporter for The Washington Post and now as a leading military historian.At Chosin, an Army force of 2,300 soldiers—a unit known as Task Force Faith—was positioned on the east side of the reservoir to protect the Marines’ flank but was overwhelmed by a Chinese force eight times its size. Fighting with little ammunition, support or food in temperatures that plunged to 35 degrees below zero, more than 80 percent of the Army soldiers were killed, captured, or wounded. After the battle, they were falsely accused of throwing down their weapons and feigning wounds. As Vogel documents, their brave fight through four days and five nights bought time for the Marines on |

12606. Empathy In Politics And Leadership: The Key To Transforming Our World : AudiobooksNow : USD12.47 A timely account of empathy, politics, and leadership, showing how greater understanding and connection can foster trust, community, and innovationEmpathy has become a cliché of contemporary politics, often espoused but rarely understood. Yet the capacity to understand other worldviews is neither easy nor comfortable. Seeing through others’ eyes requires strength, courage, integrity, and an ability to reason across the harshest political divides—and, in a time of heightened marginalization, disconnection, and polarization, empathy in our leaders and across society is vitally important.Claire Yorke offers the first account of empathy in politics and leadership, drawing on examples from across the world. Including model leaders like Nelson Mandela and Jacinda Ardern, as well as figures on the right such as Donald Trump who mobilize different forms of empathy, Yorke asks what distinguishes empathetic leaders from the rest, and examines why empathy is essential for a more human-centred politics. Demonstrating empathy’s radical potential and disputing its connotations of weakness, this book shows how we can build a political ecosystem that fosters belonging and engagement—and cultivate the necessary dialogue to find common ground. |

12607. The Two Swords Of Christ: Five Centuries Of War Between Islam And The Warrior Monks Of Christendom : AudiobooksNow : USD14.97 The definitive account of the warrior-monks who stood as Christendom’s shield against centuries of relentless Islamic aggression and a superlative example of Muscular Christianity for an era marred by effete and effeminized forms of the faith.In this magisterial history, Raymond Ibrahim chronicles the long and brutal conflict between Islam and the West through the eyes and lives of Christendom’s original commando forces: the knights of the Temple and Hospital. These warrior monks, whose unprecedented fusion of piety and militancy remains unmatched to this day, played a pivotal—though overlooked if not suppressed—role in defending Christian civilization against the onslaught of Islamic forces during the Crusades and beyond.Drawing on an exhaustive study of primary sources, and infused with his signature blend of rigorous scholarship and compelling storytelling, Ibrahim’s groundbreaking work far transcends the typical constraints of modern academic retellings, debunks widely held myths (such as the persistent claim that the Templars evolved into the Freemasons), and uncovers the theological foundation that gave rise to and provided justification for these military orders. In line with Christ’s now ignored directive that “two swords” are “enough” (Luke 22:38), these two brotherhoods wielded both spiritual and martial power to safeguard the faith.WARNING: Brimming with epic battles, stunning heroism, and self-sacrificial martyrdom against the savage hordes of Islam, The Two Swords of Christ—the third installment of Ibrahim’s trilogy (following Sword and Scimitar and Defenders of the West)—stands as his fiercest and most violent narrative to date. |

The Golden State Killer : AudiobooksNow : USD7.47 Exclusive 1,500-word excerpt in People magazine“A riveting behind-the-scenes account about the investigation, capture, and prosecution of the Golden State Killer.”—Paul Holes, bestselling author of UnmaskedIn The People vs. the Golden State Killer, Thien Ho, the current District Attorney of Sacramento, recounts his harrowing and exhilarating experience as the lead prosecutor responsible for capturing and prosecuting Joseph DeAngelo. Referred to at various times by law enforcement and the media as the Visalia Ransacker, the East Bay Rapist, the Original Nightstalker, and finally the Golden State Killer, DeAngelo, a former policeman, is widely considered “one of the most notorious serial predators in American history.”Ho’s book is the first official account of how the Golden State Killer was apprehended and put behind bars for life. Ho led an elite team of law enforcement from six California prosecutor's offices, using a newly developed tool known as “investigative genetic genealogy” to connect DeAngelo to multiple cold cases stretching back nearly a half century.Many previous narratives about DeAngelo, including two bestselling books and multiple documentaries, focused largely on the killer and his heinous crimes.

It also offers the unprecedented authorized perspective of three survivors of DeAngelo's crimes who courageously turned their pain into empowerment and activism. A portion of the book’s proceeds will be donated both by the author and Third State Books to Phyllis’s Garden, a nonprofit advocating for victims’ rights begun in honor of a GSK survivor.The People vs. the Golden State Killer also recounts Ho’s fascinating personal journey, from escaping communist Vietnam with his family as a child to working hi |

12663. Life In Reverse: Tales Of A Very Stable Narcissist : AudiobooksNow : USD17.47 Written in reverse, the chapters go backwards. The book starts from present (approximately Chapter 50, 2020, back 30 years, to Chapter 20, 1990). The story coincides with an imbedded “road itinerary.” Years are rarely mentioned in the text; and, in most cases, only initials are used for all characters. People, places and things are all real in relation to the timeline. The work involves the interpolation of common conversations—from sources such as texting and emails—to shed light on the fallibility of human relations. To a large degree, and within reason, the length of conversations are meant to be overbearing, countered by other aspects of the writing. Ron Westray’s father and grandfather’s stories are imbedded in the work. His mother’s free-verse-poetry is the muse/soul that binds the work together like a second, invisible narrator. |

12664.

The team at the Little Company of Mary Hospital led by Richard Lawler transplanted a kidney in 1950 from a just-deceased woman into the abdominal cavity of a 44-year-old woman.Critics in the medical community called the operation irresponsible because immunosuppressant drugs that prevent the rejection of a transplanted organ had yet to be developed. Some Catholic clergy considered the transplant sacrilegious because it “desecrated” the sacred body of a dead woman when her kidney was removed. Yet the nuns who ran the hospital blessed the procedure.Lawler said time alone would judge its success. Seventy years later, that transplant is largely lost to history—overshadowed by remarkable transplant surgeries and medical breakthroughs that have made life-saving kidney and other organ transplants almost routine. The book throws light on a seminal moment in medical history, offering new insights into the early days of human organ transplantation while also looking at the current national kidney crisis. |

12888. Understand The Revelation : AudiobooksNow : USD9.00 This book was written by me to create an environment to teach my Grand Children and Children about The Revelation. I have directed the reader by using Bible verses so he can defined the characters where they are and picture what the future will look like. The Bible states that not until the end times will we know what all these answers are. It is the end times so we should understand how to read with Understanding The Revelation. This is a large world view for the end times. Lowell Neely was born in 1948 in western Kansas, where he lived on a farm until after he finished his senior year of high school. After graduation, he moved to Colorado and lived there until he joined the Navy in 1968 during the Vietnam War. Soon after returning home he married Shirley, his wife of 48 years. Shirley was raised as a Mennonite and Lowell grew up as a Methodist. This mixture of religious backgrounds caused Lowell to remark that Shirley was a follower of Paul while he was a follower of Christ. He based this on the fact that her minister's sermons were from Acts, Corinthians, Romans and Thessalonians while he was listening to the four Gospels. Throughout Lowell and Shirley's marriage they have lived in Colorado, Texas and Kansas, where they have attended many churches ranging from Assemblies of God to Presbyterian, and more recently Non-Denominational churches. |

From the earliest memories of growing up in a military household filled with instability and silence, to the difficult years of adolescence marked by neglect, abuse, and disappointment, Helen shares her story without filters. What unfolds is a human portrait of a girl forced to grow up too soon, navigating survival in a world that rarely felt safe. Through jobs taken too early, a school life cut short, and the pressure of becoming a caretaker before she was ready, Templin finds ways to keep moving—sometimes with grit, sometimes with humor, and often with nothing but determination. Her adulthood brings its own trials, from a troubled marriage to the challenges of single motherhood, and a relationship that promised healing but delivered heartbreak. But within every chapter of loss and hardship, there is also strength, resolve, and the quiet but steady search for peace. She doesn’t ask for pity. She offers something far more valuable: truth, resilience, and hope. This memoir is for anyone who has ever felt unseen, unheard, or underestimated. ‘Hi, It’s Me Helen’ is a powerful reminder that even in the darkest moments, the human spirit can find its voice. |

12894. The Beast With Five Fingers : AudiobooksNow : USD2.84 When a brilliant but blind scholar dies, his legacy leaves behind more than books and unfinished theories. What remains is a presence—subtle at first, then impossible to deny.The Beast with Five Fingers is a masterwork of early 20th-century supernatural horror, where intellect, skepticism, and rational explanation steadily erode under the pressure of something that should not exist. Set within shadowed libraries, lonely houses, and candlelit rooms, the story follows a man of science confronted by an entity that moves with purpose, memory, and malice—yet defies every known law of nature.W. F. Harvey builds terror not through spectacle, but through accumulation: strange movements in the dark, marks left behind, doors opened without cause, and the growing certainty that the human hand—once trained, disciplined, and educated—may not be finished with its work after death.Calm, intelligent, and deeply unsettling, this is horror rooted in restraint and psychological dread rather than violence. A classic of supernatural fiction, The Beast with Five Fingers remains as disturbing today as when it first appeared, posing a quiet but unforgettable question:What happens when skill, intention, and will survive the body?Narrated by Myriam Berger, this audiobook brings a refined, atmospheric voice to one of the most enduring and chilling ghost stories of the Edwardian era. |

Forget those crazy aliens with their pointed ears. Forget all the screams. But as soon as I step on the set—my big chance as a Guest Star in a new medical drama—all of it comes rushing back. If it weren’t for that hot new Production Assistant, I’d probably be in a psych ward by now. The Universe is finally giving me a break. Grace is desperate to put her life back together.

The closing chapters turn practical, presenting period-authentic culinary guidance and recipes for preparing chocolate and cocoa for drinks, desserts, and confections.Narrated by Jerry Dugan, this audiobook preserves a rare Victorian-era perspective on food science, industrial craftsmanship, and culinary tradition, making it an essential listen for anyone interested in food history, agricultural science, or the origins of modern chocolate. |

But when pride outweighs good sense, Shorty refuses the safety of a mule—only to find himself robbed, captured, and riding one anyway… straight into disaster.Fools and Mules is a classic Western short story packed with winter danger, dry frontier humor, and poetic justice. As avalanches thunder, tempers flare, and survival hangs by a thread, Shorty learns that wisdom doesn’t always come from the smartest horse—or the smartest man—but sometimes from the most stubborn animal on the mountain.Originally published in 1924, this lively tale blends suspense, comedy, and rugged Western atmosphere, celebrating grit, humility, and the unexpected heroism of a much-maligned mule.Narrated with warmth and character, Fools and Mules is a fast-paced, entertaining ride through the snowbound frontier—where pride is punished, fools are educated, and mules get the last laugh. |

12944. Anne Lisbeth : AudiobooksNow : USD1.84 In this haunting and morally profound tale by Hans Christian Andersen, Anne Lisbeth explores what happens when love is delayed—and conscience awakens too late.Anne Lisbeth once rose above her station by serving as nurse to a noble child, enjoying comfort, admiration, and pride. But in doing so, she turned away from her own son, leaving him to grow up unloved, neglected, and ultimately lost to the sea. Years later, when the weight of her choices finally stirs, Anne Lisbeth is forced into a harrowing reckoning—one shaped by guilt, superstition, and the relentless voice of conscience.Set against cold shorelines, moonlit paths, and quiet churchyards, this dark psychological fairy tale unfolds as a journey through remorse, spiritual terror, and redemption hard-won. Ghostly visions blur with inner truth, and the boundary between the living and the dead dissolves as a mother confronts the cost of her ambition and neglect.Narrated with solemn clarity by Jenna Kitchen, Anne Lisbeth is a powerful, adult fairy tale—somber, human, and deeply moving—reminding listeners that while love may be withheld, the soul is never beyond awakening. |

How To Write Photoplays : AudiobooksNow : USD3.07 Written during the formative years of motion pictures, How to Write Photoplays (Third Edition) by Embrie Zuver is a practical, no-nonsense guide to storytelling in the silent-film era—when images carried meaning, structure was everything, and writers learned to think in reels rather than words.Designed for aspiring photoplaywrights, this instructional manual walks listeners step by step through the complete process of creating a market-ready scenario. Zuver defines the technical language of early studios and cameras, then explains how to generate ideas, shape plots, control pacing, and build emotion without dialogue. Topics include scenario formatting, titles and synopses, character lists, scene construction, continuity, entrances and exits, subtitles and inserts, crisis-to-climax structure, revision practices, manuscript preparation, sales etiquette, censorship considerations, and the realities of the production pipeline.The book concludes with a full sample photoplay, Timid Teddy, illustrating every principle in action through a lighthearted romantic comedy of misunderstandings, social pressure, and earned affection—demonstrating how careful structure and visual storytelling could carry an audience to a satisfying conclusion.Clear, encouraging, and firmly grounded in professional practice, How to Write Photoplays offers a rare inside look at how films were written before sound—and remains a valuable study in visual storytelling, narrative discipline, and the foundations of screenwriting itself. |

The Bells Of Mirkbridge : AudiobooksNow : USD5.49 This tale weaves faith, horror, fantasy, and historical detail into the sodden marshes of Mirebridge, where seven women have died in seven weeks beneath the chapel altar—hands consumed by inner fire, eyes turned milky white—while the bells ring day and night untouched by mortal hands. Lord Stephern, a massive knight of a Crusader House bound by oath to the Church, and Sir Bessian, his keen-eyed and articulate companion, arrive at Father Berengar’s summons to conduct a deliberate investigation. They examine the bodies, interview the bereaved, and follow fresh tracks into the fog, only to face root-wraiths beneath an ancient oak that breathes like a living thing. Their efforts are hampered by Lady Horst’s lawful claim to the land, her armored guards, and her open disdain for the Church’s tardy response, creating friction between ecclesiastical duty and noble prerogative, prayer and practical security. A measured story of evidence, conviction, and steadfast resolve against an old, marsh-born evil.Meta Description (149 characters)Historical fantasy of faith and duty: knights investigate bell-tolled murders in Mirebridge amid Church-noble strife and marsh-rooted horror. |

12990. The Operative Mindset: The Reality We Construct : AudiobooksNow : USD1.97 The Operative Mindset: The Reality We Construct explores the hidden mechanism behind influence, identity, and perception. Drawing on the shared lineage between intelligence work and great writers like Ian Fleming, Roald Dahl, and Graham Greene, this audiobook reveals how operatives and storytellers shape outcomes not through force, but through narrative. Using espionage as the tension and everyday life as the proving ground, P.J. Agness shows how the stories we tell ourselves quietly activate biases, filter reality, and determine what we see as threat or opportunity. This is not a book about motivation or belief. It is about discipline of perception. About understanding that you do not live in the world as it is, but in the story your mind uses to interpret it—and how mastering that story is the final, decisive skill of the operative mindset. |
