Title: Mind Over Matter: Hard-Won Battles on the Road to Hope Author: Jordin Tootoo, Stephen Brunt Narrator: Jordin Tootoo Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 5 hours 38 minutes Release date: October 17, 2023 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 5 of Total 1 Ratings of Narrator: 5 of Total 1 Genres: History & Culture Publisher's Summary: Following the bestselling success of the inspiring All the Way, pioneering Inuit NHLer Jordin Tootoo begins the process of healing in the wake of the suicide and violence that marks his family, only to discover the source of all that trauma in his father's secret past. For some hockey players, retirement marks the moment when it’s all over. But Jordin Tootoo is not most hockey players. Having inspired millions when he first broke into the league, Tootoo continued to influence people throughout his career—not only through his very public triumph over alcoholism, but also his natural charisma. And now, years after hanging up his skates, he is more committed to doing things the right way and speaking about it to others, whether it’s corporate executives or Indigenous youth. But the news of unmarked graves on the grounds of residential schools brought back to life many of the demons that had haunted his family. In a moment of realization that left him rattled and saddened, Tootoo fit the pieces together. The years that were never spoken of. The heavy drinking. The all too predictable violence. His father was a survivor, marked by what he had survived. As he travels back to Nunavut to try to speak with his father about what haunts him, he encounters the ghosts of the entire community. Still, as Tootoo says, we are continuously learning and rewriting our story at every step. He has learned from his mistakes and his victories. He has learned from examples of great courage and humility. He has learned from being a father and a husband. And he has learned from his own Inuk traditions, of perseverance and discipline in the face of hardship. Weaving together life’s biggest themes with observations and experiences, Jordin shares the kind of wisdom he has had to specialize in—the hard-won kind.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/587689Tue, 17 Oct 2023 09:25:07 +0000Jerod RusselPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/587689 to listen full audiobooks.

No matter how long or difficult the path ahead, we are all one. Reconciliation belongs to everyone. In this profound book, Chief Robert Joseph, globally recognized peacebuilder and Hereditary Chief of the Gwawaenuk People, traces his journey from his childhood surviving residential school to his present-day role as a leader who inspires individual hope, collective change, and global transformation. Before we get to know where we are going, we need to know where we came from. Reconciliation represents a long way forward, but it is a pathway toward our higher humanity, our highest selves, and an understanding that everybody matters. In Namwayut, Chief Joseph teaches us to transform our relationships with ourselves and each other. As we learn about, honour, and respect the truth of the stories we tell, we can also discover how to dismantle the walls of discrimination, hatred, and racism in our society. Chief Joseph is known as one of the leading voices on peacebuilding in our time, and his dedication to reconciliation has been recognized with multiple honorary degrees and awards.

Title: Faster Cures: Accelerating the Future of Health Author: Michael Milken Narrator: Grant Gottschall Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 10 hours 39 minutes Release date: April 11, 2023 Genres: History & Culture Publisher's Summary: Partly a memoir and partly a recent history of medicine, the definitive account of Michael Milken’s lifetime work to accelerate medicine's evolution from a dark past to a bright future. What if cleaning early-stage cancers from your body could become as routine as going to the dentist to clean your teeth, or if a single vaccine could protect you against multiple viruses, or if gene editing could eliminate many birth defects and slow the aging process? Mike Milken believes these, and many other advances, are within reach. Beginning with a description of the 1950s civilization and culture that helped shape Milken's early views, Faster Cures traces the life-extending acceleration of progress in medical research, public health, and clinical treatments over the seven decades since Milken’s childhood—and shows how he helped transform the process of developing disease cures. Among many examples, he recognized the promise of immunology more than twenty-five years ago and provided crucial support for the emergence of immunotherapy as a powerful life-saving treatment. Detailing his unique personal journey from a curious boy with an insatiable thirst for knowledge to his storied careers in finance and health, this book focuses on the events that made Milken what Fortune magazine called “The Man Who Changed Medicine.” The combined influences of social upheaval in the 1960s and family medical crises in the 1970s propelled him to dual quests on Wall Street and in medical research. Known worldwide as a legendary financier, philanthropist, medical research innovator, and public health advocate, Milken tells fascinating anecdotes and explains his inspiring crusade to accelerate cures and treatments so that more people around the world can live longer, healthier, and more meaningful lives.

Lady in Waiting brought us royal magic, beguiling insight, and jaw-dropping stories from life inside Anne Glenconner’s privileged circle, which though golden didn't always glitter.

Title: Architects of Terror: Paranoia, Conspiracy and Anti-Semitism in Franco’s Spain Author: Paul Preston Narrator: Robin Laing Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 16 hours 29 minutes Release date: February 2, 2023 Genres: History & Culture Publisher's Summary: A TIMES HISTORY BOOK OF THE YEAR From the preeminent historian of 20th century Spain Paul Preston, Architects of Terror is a new history of how paranoia, conspiracy and anti-Semitism was used to justify the military coup of 1936 and enabled the construction of a dictatorship built on violence and persecution. It is the previously untold story of how antisemitic beliefs were weaponised to justify and propagate the Franco overthrow of liberal Spain. The Spanish military coup of 1936 was launched to overturn the social and economic reforms of the democratic Second Republic, and its educational and cultural challenges to the established order. The consequent civil war was fought in the interests of the landowners, industrialists, bankers, clerics and army officers whose privileges were threatened. However, a central justification for a war that took the lives of around 500,000 Spaniards was that it was being fought to combat an alleged scheme for world domination by a non-existent ‘Jewish- Masonic-Bolshevik Conspiracy’. Despite the fact that Spain had only a tiny minority of Jews and Freemasons, Franco and his inner circle were ardent believers in this fabricated conspiracy and spread the notion that the survival of Catholic Spain, as well, of course, of the establishment ’ s economic interests, required the total annihilation of Jews and Freemasons. Architects of Terror is the story of how fake news, mendacity, corruption and nostalgia for lost empire generated violence and hatred. The book presents vivid portraits of the key ideologues who propagated the myth of the Jewish-Masonic-Bolshevik Conspiracy and of the military figures who implemented the atrocities that it justified. Among the convictions shared by these individuals was their belief in the idea that Freemasonry was responsible for Spain ’ s loss of empire and in the factual veracity of The Protocols of the Elders of Zion, the notorious fiction about the global domination of the Jews.

It’s a profoundly moving book that will reshape the way you think about people living with this condition.”—Esquire • A candid memoir about a lifelong struggle to speak. “Life On Delay brims with empathy and honesty . . . It moved me in ways that I haven’t experienced before. It’s fantastic.”—Clint Smith, author of the #1 New York Times bestseller How the Word Is Passed “I can’t remember the last time I read a book that made me want to both cry and cheer so much, often at the same time.”—Robert Kolker, best-selling author of Hidden Valley Road In the fall of 2019, John Hendrickson wrote a groundbreaking story for The Atlantic about Joe Biden’s decades-long journey with stuttering, as well as his own. The article went viral, reaching readers around the world and altering the course of Hendrickson’s life. Overnight, he was forced to publicly confront an element of himself that still caused him great pain. He soon learned he wasn’t alone with his feelings: strangers who stutter began sending him their own personal stories, something that continues to this day. Now, in this reported memoir, Hendrickson takes us deep inside the mind and heart of a stutterer as he sets out to answer lingering questions about himself and his condition that he was often too afraid to ask. In Life on Delay, Hendrickson writes candidly about bullying, substance abuse, depression, isolation, and other issues stutterers like him face daily. He explores the intricate family dynamics surrounding his own stutter and revisits key people from his past in unguarded interviews. Readers get an over-the-shoulder view of his childhood; his career as a journalist, which once seemed impossible; and his search for a romantic partner. Along the way, Hendrickson guides us through the evolution of speech therapy, the controversial quest for a “magic pill” to end stuttering, and the burgeoning self-help movement within the stuttering community. Beyond his own experiences, he shares portraits of fellow stutterers who have changed his life, and he writes about a pioneering doctor who is upending the field of speech therapy. Life on Delay is an indelible account of perseverance, a soulful narrative about not giving up, and a glimpse into the process of making peace with our past and present selves.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/583519Tue, 17 Jan 2023 09:25:07 +0000Jerod RusselPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/583519 to listen full audiobooks.

It’s fantastic.”—Clint Smith, author of the #1 New York Times bestseller How the Word Is Passed “I can’t remember the last time I read a book that made me want to both cry and cheer so much, often at the same time.”—Robert Kolker, best-selling author of Hidden Valley Road In the fall of 2019, John Hendrickson wrote a groundbreaking story for The Atlantic about Joe Biden’s decades-long journey with stuttering, as well as his own. The article went viral, reaching readers around the world and altering the course of Hendrickson’s life. Overnight, he was forced to publicly confront an element of himself that still caused him great pain. He soon learned he wasn’t alone with his feelings: strangers who stutter began sending him their own personal stories, something that continues to this day. Now, in this reported memoir, Hendrickson takes us deep inside the mind and heart of a stutterer as he sets out to answer lingering questions about himself and his condition that he was often too afraid to ask. In Life on Delay, Hendrickson writes candidly about bullying, substance abuse, depression, isolation, and other issues stutterers like him face daily. He explores the intricate family dynamics surrounding his own stutter and revisits key people from his past in unguarded interviews. Readers get an over-the-shoulder view of his childhood; his career as a journalist, which once seemed impossible; and his search for a romantic partner. Along the way, Hendrickson guides us through the evolution of speech therapy, the controversial quest for a “magic pill” to end stuttering, and the burgeoning self-help movement within the stuttering community. Beyond his own experiences, he shares portraits of fellow stutterers who have changed his life, and he writes about a pioneering doctor who is upending the field of speech therapy. Life on Delay is an indelible account of perseverance, a soulful narrative about not giving up, and a glimpse into the process of making peace with our past and present selves.]]>605cleanfullhttps://www.spreaker.com/episode/a-few-days-full-of-trouble-revelations-on-the-journey-to-justice-for-my-cousin-and-best-friend-emmett-till-by-wheeler-parker-christopher--65147372https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/584568 to listen full audiobooks.

Yet the rest of the details surrounding the event remain distorted by time and too many tellings. What does justice mean in the resolution of a cold case spanning nearly seven decades?

In the summer of 1913, the wooden-hulled brigantine Karluk departed Canada for the Arctic Ocean. At the helm was Captain Bob Bartlett, considered the world’s greatest living ice navigator. The expedition’s visionary leader was a flamboyant impresario named Vilhjalmur Stefansson hungry for fame. Just six weeks after the Karluk departed, giant ice floes closed in around her.

In November 1922, the world was mesmerized by news of an astonishing historical find in Egypt’s legendary Valley of Kings: the discovery of the tomb of the Egyptian Pharoah Tutankhamun. George Herbert, himself a famed amateur Egyptologist and noted antiquities collector, financed the expedition and excavation headed by lead archaeologist Howard Carter, and accompanied him inside this sacred space that had remained untouched for centuries. Inside the tomb, the explorers found King Tut’s sarcophagus and a treasure trove of astonishing artifacts: chariots and model boats, board games and paintings, a coffin made of pure gold. But these objects were more than just beautifully crafted works of art; they shed new light on Tutankhamun world and this fabled period of history, and changed our understanding of how the ancient Egyptians had lived—transforming overnight what had been formed through centuries of history and myth. Drawing on Highclere Castle’s archives, the Countess of Carnarvon pays homage to her ancestor on the 100th anniversary of this extraordinary event. In vivid and dramatic detail, she brings into focus the larger-than-life characters and lustrous settings—as well as those twists of luck and tragedies that shaped Herbert’s life. Across the early 1900s, Highclere saw no less drama than the fictional Downton Abbey, with early tragedies for the Earl and love affairs, as well highs of exorbitant wealth and trials of punishing debt. But above all there was adventure. While Herbert first went to Egypt for his health, this mysterious, romantic land would become a second home; the beloved place where he funneled his attentions over a period of decades, never quite realizing how great the fruits of his labors would prove.

Sixteenth-century Europe was a hostile world dominated by court politics and patriarchal structures–and yet against all odds, two women rose to power: Elizabeth I and Catherine de Medici. Much has been written about these shrewd and strategic sovereigns, but though their l legacies have been heavily scrutinized, nothing has been said of their complicated relationship—thirty years of camaraderie, competition, and conflict that forever changed the face of Europe. In Blood, Fire, and Gold, historian Estelle Paranque offers a new way of looking at two of history's most powerful women: through the eyes of the other. Whether engaged in bloody battles or peaceful accords, Elizabeth and Catherine admired the force and resilience of the other, while never forgetting that they were, first and foremost, each other's true rival. This is a story of  love and rivalry, of war and wisdom, and—above all else—of the courage and sacrifice it takes to secure and sustain power as a woman in a male-dominated world. **SMITHSONIAN MAGAZINE, "10 BEST HISTORY BOOKS OF 2022"**  **HISTORY TODAY, "BOOKS OF THE YEAR (2022)"**]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/580315Tue, 06 Dec 2022 09:25:07 +0000Jerod RusselPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/580315 to listen full audiobooks.

They arrived to a blanched, cold world of prim suburbs and unfamiliar customs. So began her family’s series of travels across three continents in search of places of belonging. A Coastline Is an Immeasurable Thing ventures through the physical and mythical landscapes of Daniel’s upbringing. Against the backdrop of a migratory adolescence, she reckons with race, religious conflict, culture clash, and a multiplicity of possible identities. Daniel lays bare the lives and legends of her parents and past generations, unearthing the tribal mythologies that shaped her kin and her own way of being in the world. The impossible question of which tribe to claim as her own is one she has long struggled with: the Nigerian government recognizes her as Longuda, her father’s tribe; according to matrilineal tradition, Daniel belongs to her mother’s tribe, the nomadic Fulani; and the language she grew up speaking is that of the Hausa tribe. But her strongest emotional connection is to her adopted home: California, the final place she reveals to readers through its spellbinding history. Daniel’s approach is deeply personal: in order to reclaim her legacies, she revisits her unsettled childhood and navigates the traditions of her ancestors. Her layered narratives invoke the contrasting spiritualities of her tribes: Islam, Christianity, and magic. A Coastline Is an Immeasurable Thing is a powerful cultural distillation of mythos and ethos, mapping the far-flung corners of the Black diaspora that Daniel inherits and inhabits. Through lyrical observation and deep introspection, she probes the bonds and boundaries of Blackness, from bygone colonial empires to her present home in America.

Title: Henry ‘Chips’ Channon: The Diaries (Volume 3): 1943-57 Author: Chips Channon Narrator: Tom Ward Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 48 hours 17 minutes Release date: November 24, 2022 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 5 of Total 1 Genres: History & Culture Publisher's Summary: Brought to you by Penguin. This third and final volume of the unexpurgated diaries of Sir Henry 'Chips' Channon begins as the Second World War is turning in the Allies' favour. It ends with a prematurely aged Chips descending into poor health but still socially active and able to turn a pointed phrase about the political events that swirl around him and the great and the good with whom he mingles. Throughout these final fourteen years Chips assiduously describes events in and around Westminster, gossiping about individual MPs' ambitions and indiscretions, but also rising powerfully to the occasion to capture the mood of the House on VE Day or the ceremony of George VI's funeral. His energies, though, are increasingly absorbed by a private life that at times reaches Byzantine levels of complexity. Separated and then divorced from his wife Honor, he conducts passionate relationships with a young officer on Wavell's staff and with the playwright Terence Rattigan, while being serially unfaithful to both. The one constant in his life is his son, Paul, whom he adores. Through Chips's friendship with Rattigan we encounter the London of the theatre and the cinema, peopled by such figures as John Gielgud, Laurence Olivier, Vivien Leigh and Douglas Fairbanks Jr. At the same time we continue to experience vicariously a seemingly endless social round of grand parties and receptions at which Chips might well rub shoulders with Lady Diana Cooper, or Cecil Beaton, or the Mountbattens, or any number of dethroned European monarchs. Those unfortunate enough to die while the pen is in Chips's hand are frequently captured in less than flattering epigrammatic obituaries. The Archbishop of Canterbury was a 'fat fool of 63'. Lloyd George was a 'wicked unscrupulous rogue of charm'. George Bernard Shaw 'died as he lived - very selfishly'. But Chips's gift for friendship and his frequent kindness shine through, too. He has been described as 'The greatest British diarist of the 20th century'.

Title: Dickens and Prince: A Particular Kind of Genius Author: Nick Hornby Narrator: Alex Jennings Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 3 hours 7 minutes Release date: November 15, 2022 Genres: History & Culture Publisher's Summary: “An ardent fan letter from Hornby that makes you want to re-read Great Expectations while listening to Sign o’ the Times.” —Vogue From the bestselling author of Just Like You, High Fidelity, and Fever Pitch, a short, warm, and entertaining book about art, creativity, and the unlikely similarities between Victorian novelist Charles Dickens and modern American rock star Prince Every so often, a pairing comes along that seems completely unlikely—until it’s not. Peanut butter and jelly, Dennis Rodman and Kim Jong Un, ducks and puppies, and now: Dickens and Prince. Equipped with a fan’s admiration and his trademark humor and wit, Nick Hornby invites us into his latest obsession: the cosmic link between two unlikely artists, geniuses in their own rights, spanning race, class, and centuries—each of whom electrified their different disciplines and whose legacy resounded far beyond their own time. When Prince’s 1987 record Sign o’ the Times was rereleased in 2020, the iconic album now came with dozens of songs that weren’t on the original— Prince was endlessly prolific, recording 102 songs in 1986 alone. In awe, Hornby began to wonder, Who else ever produced this much? Who else ever worked that way? He soon found his answer in Victorian novelist and social critic Charles Dickens, who died more than a hundred years before Prince began making music. Examining the two artists’ personal tragedies, social statuses, boundless productivity, and other parallels, both humorous and haunting, Hornby shows how these two unlikely men from different centuries “lit up the world.” In the process, he creates a lively, stimulating rumination on the creativity, flamboyance, discipline, and soul it takes to produce great art.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/575811Tue, 15 Nov 2022 09:25:07 +0000Jerod RusselPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/575811 to listen full audiobooks.

Title: Nero: Matricide, Music, and Murder in Imperial Rome Author: Roddy Ashworth, Anthony Everitt Narrator: Greg Patmore Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 13 hours 55 minutes Release date: November 8, 2022 Genres: History & Culture Publisher's Summary: A striking, nuanced biography of Nero—the controversial populist ruler and last of the Caesars—and a vivid portrait of ancient Rome “Exciting and provocative . . . Nero is a pleasure to read.”—Barry Strauss, author of The War That Made the Roman Empire: Antony, Cleopatra, and Octavian at Actium The Roman emperor Nero’s name has long been a byword for cruelty, decadence, and despotism. As the stories go, he set fire to Rome and thrummed his lyre as it burned. He then cleared the charred ruins and built a vast palace. He committed incest with his mother, who had schemed and killed to place him on the throne, and later murdered her. But these stories, left behind by contemporary historians who hated him, are hardly the full picture, and in this nuanced biography, celebrated historian Anthony Everitt and investigative journalist Roddy Ashworth reveal the contradictions inherent in Nero and offer a reappraisal of his life. Contrary to popular memory, the empire was well managed during his reign. He presided over diplomatic triumphs, and his legions overcame the fiery British queen Boudica who led one of the greatest revolts Rome had ever had to face. He loved art, culture, and music, and he won the loyalty of the lower classes with fantastic spectacles. He did not set fire to Rome. In Nero, ancient Rome comes to life: the fire-prone streets, the deadly political intrigues, and the ongoing architectural projects. In this teeming, politically unstable world, Nero was vulnerable to fierce reproach from the nobility and relatives who would gladly usurp him, and he was often too ready to murder rivals. He had a vision for Rome, but, racked by insecurity, he perhaps lacked the stomach to govern it. This is the bloodstained story of one of Rome’s most notorious emperors: but in Everitt and Ashworth’s hands, Nero’s life is also a complicated, cautionary tale about the mettle required to rule.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/574462Tue, 08 Nov 2022 09:25:07 +0000Jerod RusselPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/574462 to listen full audiobooks.

In 1932, Japan was in crisis. Naval officers had assassinated the prime minister and conspiracies flourished. The military had a stranglehold on the government.

For the next decade, Grew attempted to warn American leaders about the risks of Japan’s raging nationalism and rising militarism, while also trying to stabilize Tokyo’s increasingly erratic and volatile foreign policy. From domestic terrorism by Japanese extremists to the global rise of Hitler and the fateful attack on Pearl Harbor, the events that unfolded during Grew’s tenure proved to be pivotal for Japan, and for the world. His dispatches from the darkening heart of the Japanese empire would prove prescient—for his time, and for our own.   Drawing on Grew’s diary of his time in Tokyo as well as U.S. embassy correspondence, diplomatic dispatches, and firsthand Japanese accounts, Our Man in Tokyo brings to life a man who risked everything to avert another world war, the country where he staked it all—and the abyss that swallowed it.  Supplemental enhancement PDF accompanies the audiobook.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/575422Tue, 08 Nov 2022 09:25:07 +0000Jerod RusselPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/575422 to listen full audiobooks.

But few know that Kidd had an accomplice, a behind-the-scenes player who enabled his plundering and helped him outpace his enemies. That accomplice was his wife, Sarah Kidd, a well-to-do woman whose extraordinary life is a lesson in reinvention and resourcefulness. Twice widowed by twenty-one and operating within the strictures of polite society in seventeenth- and eighteenth-century New York, Sarah secretly aided and abetted her husband, fighting alongside him against his accusers. More remarkable still was that Sarah not only survived the tragedy wrought by her infamous husband’s deeds, but went on to live a successful and productive life as one of New York’s most prominent citizens. Marshaling in newly discovered primary-source documents from archives in London, New York and Boston, historian and journalist Daphne Palmer Geanacopoulos reconstructs the extraordinary life of Sarah Kidd, uncovering a rare example of the kind of life that pirate wives lived during the Golden Age of Piracy.

The New York Times bestselling co-author of Billion Dollar Whale and Blood and Oil chronicles the heart-pounding tale of a self-taught operative his high-stakes attempt subvert the North Korean regime. “Propulsive . . . Hope’s account is both deeply reported and novelistic.”—Ed Caesar, contributing staff writer for The New Yorker, author of The Moth and the Mountain In the early 2000s, Adrian Hong was a soft-spoken Yale undergraduate looking for his place in the world. After reading a harrowing account of life inside North Korea, he realized he had found a cause so pressing that he was ready to devote his life to it.   What began as a trip down the safe and well-worn path of organizing soon morphed into something more dangerous. Hong journeyed to China, outwitting Chinese security services as he helped asylum-seeking North Koreans escape across the border. Meanwhile, Hong’s secret organization, Cheollima Civil Defense (later renamed Free Joseon), began tracking the North Korean government’s activities, and its volatile third-generation ruler, Kim Jong-un. Free Joseon targeted North Korean diplomats who might be persuaded to defect, while drawing up plans for a government-in-exile. After the shocking broad-daylight assassination in 2017 of Kim Jong-nam, the dictator’s older brother, Hong, along with U.S. Marine veteran Christopher Ahn, helped ferry Kim Jong-nam’s family to safety. Then Hong took the group a step further. He initiated a series of high-stakes direct actions, culminating in an armed raid at the North Korean embassy in Madrid—an act that would put Ahn behind bars and turn Hong into one of the world’s most unlikely fugitives.   In the tradition of Jon Krakauer’s Into the Wild, The Rebel and the Kingdom is an exhilarating account of a man who turns his back on the status quo—to instead live boldly by his principles. Acclaimed journalist and bestselling author Bradley Hope—who broke numerous details of Hong’s operations in The Wall Street Journal—now reveals the full contours of this remarkable story of idealism and insanity, hubris and heroism, all set within the secret battle for the future of the world’s most mysterious and unsettling nation.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/569499Tue, 01 Nov 2022 09:25:07 +0000Jerod RusselPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/569499 to listen full audiobooks.

Hope’s account is both deeply reported and novelistic.”—Ed Caesar, contributing staff writer for The New Yorker, author of The Moth and the Mountain In the early 2000s, Adrian Hong was a soft-spoken Yale undergraduate looking for his place in the world. After reading a harrowing account of life inside North Korea, he realized he had found a cause so pressing that he was ready to devote his life to it.   What began as a trip down the safe and well-worn path of organizing soon morphed into something more dangerous. Hong journeyed to China, outwitting Chinese security services as he helped asylum-seeking North Koreans escape across the border. Meanwhile, Hong’s secret organization, Cheollima Civil Defense (later renamed Free Joseon), began tracking the North Korean government’s activities, and its volatile third-generation ruler, Kim Jong-un. Free Joseon targeted North Korean diplomats who might be persuaded to defect, while drawing up plans for a government-in-exile. After the shocking broad-daylight assassination in 2017 of Kim Jong-nam, the dictator’s older brother, Hong, along with U.S. Marine veteran Christopher Ahn, helped ferry Kim Jong-nam’s family to safety. Then Hong took the group a step further. He initiated a series of high-stakes direct actions, culminating in an armed raid at the North Korean embassy in Madrid—an act that would put Ahn behind bars and turn Hong into one of the world’s most unlikely fugitives.   In the tradition of Jon Krakauer’s Into the Wild, The Rebel and the Kingdom is an exhilarating account of a man who turns his back on the status quo—to instead live boldly by his principles. Acclaimed journalist and bestselling author Bradley Hope—who broke numerous details of Hong’s operations in The Wall Street Journal—now reveals the full contours of this remarkable story of idealism and insanity, hubris and heroism, all set within the secret battle for the future of the world’s most mysterious and unsettling nation.]]>605cleanfullhttps://www.spreaker.com/episode/edda-mussolini-the-most-dangerous-woman-in-europe-by-caroline-moorehead--65147480https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/573385 to listen full audiobooks. Title: Edda Mussolini: The Most Dangerous Woman in Europe Author: Caroline Moorehead Narrator: Kathleen Gati Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 16 hours 38 minutes Release date: October 27, 2022 Genres: History & Culture Publisher's Summary: Brought to you by Penguin. Edda Mussolini was Benito's favourite daughter: spoilt, venal, uneducated but clever, faithless but flamboyant, a brilliant diplomat, wild but brave, and ultimately strong and loyal. She was her father's confidante during the 20 years of Fascist rule, acting as envoy to both Germany and Britain, and playing a part in steering Italy to join forces with Hitler. From her early twenties she was effectively first lady of Italy. She married Galeazzo Ciano, who would become the youngest Foreign Secretary in Italian history, and they were the most celebrated and glamorous couple in elegant, vulgar Roman fascist society. Their fortunes turned in 1943, when Ciano voted against Mussolini in a plot to bring him down, and his father-in-law did not forgive him. In a dramatic story that takes in hidden diaries, her father's fall and her husband's execution, an escape into Switzerland and a period in exile, we come to know a complicated, bold and determined woman who emerges not just as a witness but as a key player in some of the twentieth century's defining moments. And we see Fascist Italy with all its glamour, decadence and political intrigue, and the turbulence before its violent end. © Caroline Moorehead 2022 (P) Penguin Audio 2022]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/573385Thu, 27 Oct 2022 09:25:07 +0000Jerod RusselPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/573385 to listen full audiobooks.

For many years, Camilla was portrayed in a poor light, blamed by the public for the break-up of the marriage between Prince Charles and Lady Diana. Initially, the Queen refused to see or speak to her, but, after the death of Prince Philip, the Duchess became one of the Queen's closest companions. Her confidence in Camilla and the transformation she saw in Prince Charles since their wedding resulted in her choosing the first day of her Platinum Jubilee year to tell the world that she wanted Camilla to be Queen Consort not the demeaning Princess Consort suggested in 2005   Angela Levin uncovers Camilla’s rocky journey to be accepted by the royal family and how she coped with the brutal portrayal of her in Netflix's The Crown. The public have witnessed her tremendous contribution to help those in need, especially during Covid. Levin has talked to many of the Duchess’s long-term friends, her staff and executives from the numerous charities of which Camilla is patron. She reveals why Camilla concentrates on previously taboo subjects, such as domestic violence and rape. Most of all, Levin tells the story of how Camilla has changed from a fun-loving young woman to one of the senior royals’ hardest workers. She has retained her mischievous sense of humour, becoming a role model for older women and an inspiration for younger ones. Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall is both an extraordinary love story and a fascinating portrait of an increasingly confident Queen Consort. It is an essential read for anyone wanting a greater insight into the royal family.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/565545Thu, 27 Oct 2022 09:25:07 +0000Jerod RusselPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/565545 to listen full audiobooks.

Between November 1922 and spring 1923, a door to the ancient Egyptian world was opened. The discovery of the tomb of Tutankhamun would be the most astonishing archaeological find of the century, revealing not only the boy pharaoh’s preserved remains, but thousands of finely crafted objects, from the iconic gold mask and coffins to a dagger made from meteorite, chalices, beautiful furniture and even 3000-year-old food and wine. The world’s understanding of Ancient Egyptian civilisation was immeasurably enhanced, and the quantity and richness of the objects in the tomb is still being studied today.

Featuring more than two hundred rare and never-before-published photographs. While preparing to sell his home in Alexandria, Virginia, retired Secret Service agent Clint Hill uncovers an old steamer trunk in the garage, triggering a floodgate of memories. As he and Lisa McCubbin, his coauthor on three previous books, pry it open for the first time in fifty years, they find forgotten photos, handwritten notes, personal gifts, and treasured mementos from the trips on which Hill accompanied First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy as her Secret Service agent—trips that took them from Paris to London, through India, Pakistan, Greece, Morocco, Mexico, South America, and “three glorious weeks on the Amalfi Coast.” During these journeys, Jacqueline Kennedy became one of her husband’s—and America’s—greatest assets; in Hill’s words and the opinion of many others, “one of the best ambassadors the United States has ever had.” As each newfound treasure sparks long-suppressed memories, Hill provides new insight into the intensely private woman he always called “Mrs. Kennedy” and who always called him “Mr. Hill.” For the first time, he reveals the depth of the relationship that developed between them as they traveled around the globe. Now ninety years old, Hill recounts the tender moments, the private laughs, the wild adventures, and the deep affection he shared with one of the world’s most beautiful and iconic women—and these memories are brought vividly to life alongside more than two hundred rare photographs, many of them previously unpublished. In addition to the humorous stories and intimate moments, Hill reveals startling details about how traveling helped them both heal during the excruciating weeks and months following the assassination of President John F. Kennedy in November 1963. He also writes of the year he spent protecting Mrs. Kennedy after the assassination, a time in his life he has always been reluctant to speak about.

Thomas Jefferson asserted that if there was any leader of the Revolution, “Samuel Adams was the man.” With high-minded ideals and bare-knuckle tactics, Adams led what could be called the greatest campaign of civil resistance in American history.   Stacy Schiff returns Adams to his seat of glory, introducing us to the shrewd and eloquent man who supplied the moral backbone of the American Revolution. A singular figure at a singular moment, Adams amplified the Boston Massacre. He helped to mastermind the Boston Tea Party. He employed every tool available to rally a town, a colony, and eventually a band of colonies behind him, creating the cause that created a country. For his efforts he became the most wanted man in America: When Paul Revere rode to Lexington in 1775, it was to warn Samuel Adams that he was about to be arrested for treason. In The Revolutionary: Samuel Adams, Schiff brings her masterful skills to Adams’s improbable life, illuminating his transformation from aimless son of a well-off family to tireless, beguiling radical who mobilized the colonies. Arresting, original, and deliriously dramatic, this is a long-overdue chapter in the history of our nation.

Their first day in business was so disastrous that the next morning, Marcus's wife wouldn't let him shave because she didn't want a razor in his hands.

''Doing it yourself'' has been the theme of Bernie Marcus's entire life. By the time he was fifteen, he had held more than a dozen jobs, joined a gang, and worked as a hypnotist in the Catskills. The son of a cabinetmaker and garment worker who survived the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire, Bernie overcame a hardscrabble upbringing to author one of the best entrepreneurial stories in American history. Today, Home Depot employs 500,000 associates at 2,300 stores and is one of the most recognized and admired companies in the world. The same energy that made Home Depot successful has helped Bernie give away more than $2 billion and pioneer a new model for philanthropy, transforming millions of lives. There is no single, winning formula for trying to make the world a better place, but Bernie shares what he's learned—that the skills needed to build a Fortune 500 company are the same ones that can help cure cancer, treat veterans with PTSD, and transform autism treatment. And it doesn't take a fortune to make a big difference in your community.

Title: Kick Up Some Dust: Lessons on Thinking Big, Giving Back, and Doing It Yourself Author: Bernie Marcus Narrator: Fred Sanders Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 7 hours 33 minutes Release date: October 18, 2022 Genres: History & Culture Publisher's Summary: A candid, rollicking business memoir from the Home Depot cofounder, filled with personal stories, savvy business advice, and timeless lessons for a life well lived ''A classic Cinderella story of the American dream fulfilled, told with humor and honesty.'' — GARY SINISE ''An extraordinary story. ... [Tells] Marcus's version of the American dream, from tenement to boardroom, homespun into lessons for readers wanting to make it in business or philanthropy.'' — Financial Times The start of Home Depot sounds like the beginning of a bad joke: Two Jews and an Italian decide to build a new kind of hardware store... In 1978, Bernie Marcus's livelihood depended on just such a scenario. Having been fired at the age of forty-nine, he teamed up with Arthur Blank and Ken Langone on a bold new endeavor. Their first day in business was so disastrous that the next morning, Marcus's wife wouldn't let him shave because she didn't want a razor in his hands.

Title: Do Let’s Have Another Drink: The Singular Wit and Double Measures of Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother Author: Gareth Russell Narrator: Fiona Hampton Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 7 hours 3 minutes Release date: October 13, 2022 Genres: History & Culture Publisher's Summary: A Times Best Book on the Royal Family of the Year 2022 This is a biography of the Queen Mother with all the dull bits stripped out. When told that Lady Mountbatten was being buried at sea, the Queen Mother replied cheerfully. ‘Dear old Edwina, she always did like to make a splash!’ During her lifetime, the Queen Mother was as famous for her clever quips, pointed observations and dry-as-a-Martini delivery style as she was for being a member of the Royal Family. She was also famed for her fondness for ‘drinky-poos’ – usually a gin and Dubonnet or three. Now, Do Let’s Have Another Drink recounts 101 biographical vignettes – one for each year of her long, remarkable life, including her coming-of-age during World War I, the abdication of her brother-in-law, the truth about her tragic nieces and her relationship with her two daughters over half a century of widowhood. The book is a skimming-stone biography – the story of a life without the boring bits – and a travel guide to a world that no longer exists. Stepping into the Queen Mother’s rarefied universe is a little like falling through the looking glass. The book rightly celebrates her sense of humour but also explores her enmities and feuds, including the truth about her behaviour towards Wallis Simpson, Nerissa Bowes-Lyon and Diana, Princess of Wales. For fans of The Crown and featuring new revelations, never before published, and colourful anecdotes about the woman the high society photographer Cecil Beaton once described as ‘a marshmallow made on a welding machine’, Do Let’s Have Another Drink is a delightful celebration of one of the most consistently popular members of the Royal Family.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/564592Thu, 13 Oct 2022 09:25:07 +0000Jerod RusselPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/564592 to listen full audiobooks.

Title: The Essential Dick Gregory Author: Dick Gregory Narrator: Afrika K. Kenjyatta, Andre Gaines, Christian Gregory, Joe Morton Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 8 hours 1 minute Release date: October 11, 2022 Genres: History & Culture Publisher's Summary: Narrated by Audie, Emmy, and NAACP® Image Award-winning actor, Joe Morton, and joined by Christian Gregory and Afrika K. Kenjyatta.  A soulful, generation-defining collection of thought-provoking, agitating, and liberating works from Dick Gregory, the activist and author of sixteen books, including the classic bestseller Nigger: An Autobiography and the 2017 NAACP Image Award Winner, Defining Moments in Black History: Reading Between the Lies. A true renaissance man, Richard Claxton “Dick” Gregory was one of the pioneering satirists of his generation, a reformer and brilliant spokesperson for the downtrodden and forgotten who dedicated his life to speaking unadulterated truth—and to improving ordinary lives. A revered human rights and environmental activist, fearsome and uncompromising social critic, lauded bestselling author, and beloved nutrition guru, Gregory aimed not only to educate souls, but to liberate them. His words shaped a generation and remain vital for our own turbulent times, offering wisdom to enlighten and inspire a new activist age. This carefully curated anthology of selected writings reflects and celebrates Dick Gregory’s wisdom and his vision. Divided into three sections—Body, Mind, and Spirit—it includes previously unavailable transcriptions and excerpts taken from his sixteen books, fifteen albums and audio compilations, and more than 1,200 hours of archival video, including lectures, interviews, and comedic performances. It is a breathtaking tour through the life of one of America’s most prophetic and relevant cultural icons. The Essential Dick Gregory is a pointillistic portrait of a man who gave up a lucrative entertainment career to fight injustice on the front line of battle—leading protests and hunger strikes to end the Vietnam War and apartheid in South Africa; supporting civil rights, feminism, and Native Americans,; and addressing hunger, poverty, and police brutality. This compelling volume will challenge your beliefs, allow you to see life in unexpected ways, and dare you to make the world a better place.

Graham Boynton's Wild is the definitive biography of photographer Peter Beard, a larger-than-life icon who pushed the boundaries of art and scandalized international high society with his high-profile affairs. He was the original 20th century “enfant terrible” with the looks of a Greek god who blazed like a comet across the worlds of art, photography, and fame. The scion of several old WASP fortunes, he was by instinct an adventurer, and the more dangerous the escapade, the better: whether he was hunting big game in Africa, ingesting epic quantities of drugs, or pursuing the most beautiful women in the world. Among his friends were Jackie Onassis, Andy Warhol, and Francis Bacon. When Peter Beard died in 2020 after mysteriously disappearing from his Montauk home, he remained an enigma to even his closest friends. Journalist and author Graham Boynton was a friend for more than 30 years, spending time with Beard at his bush camp in Africa, in London, and at his Long Island home.

Title: Zarifa: A Woman's Battle in a Man's World Author: Hannah Lucinda Smith, Zarifa Ghafari Narrator: Ariana Delawari Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 8 hours 53 minutes Release date: October 11, 2022 Genres: History & Culture Publisher's Summary: A moving and inspiring memoir by Afghanistan's youngest female mayor and campaigner for human rights. I am one of the lucky ones. I got out of Afghanistan alive when the Taliban retook the country. Millions of others did not - they are now living under one of the world's most repressive regimes, with any progress that was made for women over the past twenty years being brutally reversed. Every day, I yearn for my motherland. Now it is my duty to make sure that the world knows what is happening to women there, and what we must do to change things for them. Zarifa Ghafari was three years old when the Taliban banned girls from schools, and she began her education in secret. She was seven when American airstrikes began. She was twenty-six when she became mayor - the only female mayor in the country - of Maidan Wardak, Kabul. An extremist mob barred her from her office; her male staff walked out in protest; assassins tried to kill her six times. Finally, they killed their father. Ghafari stood her ground. She ended corruption in the province, promoted peace and tried to lift up women, despite constant fear for herself and her family. When the Taliban took Kabul in 2021, Ghafari had to flee, narrowly escaping the country on one of the last flights out of Kabul  and finding refuge in Germany.  Zarifa is an astonishing memoir that offers an unparalleled perspective of the last two decades in Afghanistan. Written with honesty, pain and ultimately, hope, Ghafari describes the work she did, the women she still tries to help as they live under Taliban rule and her vision for how grassroots activism can change their lives and the lives of women everywhere.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/575999Tue, 11 Oct 2022 09:25:07 +0000Jerod RusselPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/575999 to listen full audiobooks.

Title: The Forerunner: A Story of Pain and Perseverance in America Author: Cori Bush Narrator: January LaVoy Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 9 hours 40 minutes Release date: October 4, 2022 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 5 of Total 1 Ratings of Narrator: 5 of Total 1 Genres: History & Culture Publisher's Summary: From one of America's most transformative politicians and activists, a powerful and inspiring memoir that sheds light on a harrowing personal journey and reveals how urgently we need our political leadership to prioritize meeting the needs of our most marginalized communities. 'Piercing and gripping... Bush’s words are beautifully devastating.' —The Cut Having worked as a nurse, a pastor, and a community organizer in St. Louis, Missouri, Cori Bush hadn’t initially intended to run for political office. But when protests in Ferguson erupted in 2014, Bush found herself on the frontlines, providing medical care and protesting violence against Black lives. Encouraged by community leaders to run for office, and compelled by an urgency to prevent her children and others from becoming social media hashtags, Bush campaigned persistently while navigating myriad personal challenges—and ultimately rose to unseat a twenty-year incumbent to become the first Black woman to represent her state in Congress. The Forerunner is the raw and moving account of a politician and activist whose life experiences, though underrepresented in the halls of Congress, reflect some of the same realities and struggles that many Americans face in their everyday lives. Courageously laying bare her experience as a minimum-wage worker, a survivor of domestic and sexual violence, and an unhoused parent, Congresswoman Bush embodies a new chapter in progressive politics that prioritizes the lives and stories of those most politically vulnerable at the core of its agenda. A testament to the lasting legacy of the Ferguson Uprising and an unflinching examination of how the American political system is so deeply intertwined with systemic injustice, The Forerunner is profoundly relatable and inspiring at its heart. At once a stirring and emotionally wrought personal account and a fierce call to action, this is political memoir the likes of which we’ve never seen before.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/577843Tue, 04 Oct 2022 09:25:07 +0000Jerod RusselPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/577843 to listen full audiobooks.

Diekmann Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 9 hours 9 minutes Release date: October 4, 2022 Genres: History & Culture Publisher's Summary: EINE NEUE WELT ENTSTEHT. Können wir sie ertragen? Den Anfang machten »Die Besucher«, der größte Bestseller über die Begegnung mit Außerirdischen und Wesen aus einer anderen Dimension, den die Welt jemals gesehen hatte. Jetzt kehrt Whitley Strieber mit neuen Erkenntnissen zurück – und sie haben die Macht, die Welt zu verändern! 33 Jahre sind verstrichen, und viele Menschen hatten inzwischen mit den »Besuchern« Kontakt, doch die meisten von uns kennen sie nur durch Dokumentationen und Berichte. Das kann sich jetzt ändern. Es liegt an uns. Sie wollen sich uns anschließen. Sie brauchen uns. Aber noch wichtiger ist, dass wir sie brauchen – ihre Weisheit und ihre Einsicht in die Gefährdung unserer Welt und ihr Wissen, wie wir unsere eigene Zukunft sichern können. WAGEN WIR ES, IHNEN DIE TÜR ZU ÖFFNEN? Whitley Strieber zählt zu den ungewöhnlichsten Schriftstellern unserer Zeit. Berühmt machten ihn die Filmfassungen seiner Romane »The Day After Tomorrow«, »Hunters«, »Wolfen« und »Begierde«. In »Eine Neue Welt« schildert er seine aktuellen Begegnungen und Erkenntnisse seit dem Buch »Die Besucher«, verfilmt mit Christopher Walken, in dem er seine Entführung durch Aliens offenlegte.

Kontakt mit den Besuchern Author: Whitley Strieber Narrator: Michael J. Diekmann Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 9 hours 9 minutes Release date: October 4, 2022 Genres: History & Culture Publisher's Summary: EINE NEUE WELT ENTSTEHT. Können wir sie ertragen? Den Anfang machten »Die Besucher«, der größte Bestseller über die Begegnung mit Außerirdischen und Wesen aus einer anderen Dimension, den die Welt jemals gesehen hatte. Jetzt kehrt Whitley Strieber mit neuen Erkenntnissen zurück – und sie haben die Macht, die Welt zu verändern! 33 Jahre sind verstrichen, und viele Menschen hatten inzwischen mit den »Besuchern« Kontakt, doch die meisten von uns kennen sie nur durch Dokumentationen und Berichte. Das kann sich jetzt ändern. Es liegt an uns. Sie wollen sich uns anschließen. Sie brauchen uns. Aber noch wichtiger ist, dass wir sie brauchen – ihre Weisheit und ihre Einsicht in die Gefährdung unserer Welt und ihr Wissen, wie wir unsere eigene Zukunft sichern können. WAGEN WIR ES, IHNEN DIE TÜR ZU ÖFFNEN? Whitley Strieber zählt zu den ungewöhnlichsten Schriftstellern unserer Zeit. Berühmt machten ihn die Filmfassungen seiner Romane »The Day After Tomorrow«, »Hunters«, »Wolfen« und »Begierde«. In »Eine Neue Welt« schildert er seine aktuellen Begegnungen und Erkenntnisse seit dem Buch »Die Besucher«, verfilmt mit Christopher Walken, in dem er seine Entführung durch Aliens offenlegte.

Title: Everything I Never Dreamed: My Life Surviving and Standing Up to Domestic Violence Author: Ruth M. Glenn Narrator: Ruth M. Glenn Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 10 hours 23 minutes Release date: October 4, 2022 Genres: History & Culture Publisher's Summary: The raw, uplifting, and unforgettable memoir from the CEO and president of the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence chronicling her personal battle against abuse, violence, and even a murder attempt. Ruth M. Glenn wasn’t surprised the first time her husband beat her. She was hurt and disappointed but after a childhood in a broken and violent home, she was not surprised. After all, this was just the way things were, right? It was only after she lay bleeding in a carwash parking lot, after being shot three times by him, that Glenn resolved—if she managed to survive—to spend the rest of her life standing up to domestic violence. Now, she brings her full story to the forefront with this survivor’s tale crossed with a rousing call to action. She reveals her difficult but ultimately rewarding journey from that parking lot to sacrificing everything to obtain her advanced degrees. With her evocative and thoughtful voice, Glenn explores the dynamics of domestic violence, why women and children are seen as lesser in our society, how to stop victim-blaming, and how to demystify domestic violence to stop it once and for all. A memoir of resilience and courage, Everything I Never Dreamed is a necessary book that proves that abuse does not have to define a survivor’s entire life.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/584402Tue, 04 Oct 2022 09:25:07 +0000Jerod RusselPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/584402 to listen full audiobooks.

During his ascent, Johnson benefited from being regarded as a clown, for this meant his opponents failed to take him seriously, while his supporters delighted in his ability to shock and enrage the Establishment. He even changed the language of politics; a new word, ‘cakeism’, entered the English lexicon to describe his implausible but seductive claim during the Brexit negotiations that it was possible to have one’s cake and eat it. In a series of brilliant vignettes, Gimson sheds light on the parts played by sex, greed, boredom and low seriousness in Johnson’s rise and fall, describes how Partygate fatally imperilled his prime ministership, and places him in a line of Tory adventurers stretching back to Benjamin Disraeli: disreputable figures who often blew themselves up, but who also could display an astonishing ability to connect with the British public. What kind of a person is Johnson? What kind of a country would dream of making him its prime minister? And why did he fall?

Dr. Jean Marmoreo spent her career keeping people alive. But when the Supreme Court of Canada gave the green light to Medical Assistance in Dying (MAiD) in 2016, she became one of a small group of doctors who chose to immediately train themselves in this new field. Over the course of a single year, Marmoreo learns about end-of-life practices in bustling Toronto hospitals, in hospices, and in the facilities of smaller communities. She found that the needed services were often minimal—or non-existent. The Last Doctor recounts Marmoreo's crash course in MAiD and introduces a range of very different and memorable patients, some aged, some suffering from degenerative conditions or with a terminal disease, some surrounded by supportive love, some quite alone, who ask her help to end their suffering with dignity and on their own terms. Dr. Marmoreo also shares her own emotional transformation as she climbs a steep learning curve and learns the intimate truths of the vast range of end-of-life situations. What she experiences with MAiD shakes her to her core, makes her think deeply about pain, loneliness, and joy, and brings her closer to life’s most profound questions.

With her signature upbeat messaging, Arceneaux recounts her odyssey, from her cancer diagnosis at age ten and the yearlong treatment that inspired her goal of working with pediatric cancer patients, to living through her father’s terminal cancer diagnosis, to getting her lifelong dream job at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital as a physician assistant.

With nearly a century of life behind her, Stella Levi had never before spoken in detail about her past. Then she met Michael Frank. He came to her Greenwich Village apartment one Saturday afternoon to ask her a question about the Juderia, the neighborhood on the Greek island of Rhodes where she’d grown up in a Jewish community that had thrived there for half a millennium. Neither of them could know this was the first of one hundred Saturdays over the course of six years that they would spend in each other’s company. During these meetings Stella traveled back in time to conjure what it felt like to come of age on this luminous, legendary island in the eastern Aegean, which the Italians conquered in 1912, began governing as an official colonial possession in 1923, and continued to administer even after the Germans seized control in September 1943. The following July, the Germans rounded up all 1,700-plus residents of the Juderia and sent them first by boat and then by train to Auschwitz on what was the longest journey—measured by both time and distance—of any of the deportations. Ninety percent of them were murdered upon arrival. Probing and courageous, candid and sly, Stella is a magical modern-day Scheherazade whose stories reveal what it was like to grow up in an extraordinary place in an extraordinary time—and to construct a life after that place has vanished. One Hundred Saturdays is a portrait of one of the last survivors drawn at nearly the last possible moment, as well as an account of a tender and transformative friendship between storyteller and listener, offering a powerful “reminder that the ability to listen thoughtfully is a rare and significant gift” (The Wall Street Journal).]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/573557Tue, 06 Sep 2022 09:25:07 +0000Jerod RusselPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/573557 to listen full audiobooks.

As a neurosurgeon, I lived in a world filled with fear and suffering, death and cancer. But rarely, if ever, did I think about what it would be like if what I witnessed at work every day happened to me. This book is the story of how I became a patient myself. As a retired brain surgeon, Henry Marsh thought he understood illness, but he was unprepared for the impact of his diagnosis of advanced cancer. And Finally explores what happens when someone who has spent a lifetime on the frontline of life and death finds himself contemplating what might be his own death sentence. As he navigates the bewildering transition from doctor to patient, he is haunted by past failures and projects yet to be completed, and frustrated by the inconveniences of illness and old age. But he is also more entranced than ever by the mysteries of science and the brain, the beauty of the natural world and his love for his family. Elegiac, candid, luminous and poignant, And Finally is ultimately not so much a book about death, but a book about life and what matters in the end. © Henry Marsh 2022 (P) Penguin Audio 2022]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/578565Thu, 01 Sep 2022 09:25:07 +0000Jerod RusselPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/578565 to listen full audiobooks.

Their story reflects much of what has gone wrong in relations between Indigenous Peoples and non-Indigenous Canadians. It also offers, in the end, an uncommon measure of hope. Valley of the Birdtail is about how two communities became separate and unequal—and what it means for the rest of us. In Rossburn, once settled by Ukrainian immigrants who fled poverty and persecution, family income is near the national average and more than a third of adults have graduated from university. In Waywayseecappo, the average family lives below the national poverty line and less than a third of adults have graduated from high school, with many haunted by their time in residential schools. This book follows multiple generations of two families, one white and one Indigenous, and weaves their lives into the larger story of Canada. It is a story of villains and heroes, irony and idealism, racism and reconciliation. Valley of the Birdtail has the ambition to change the way we think about our past and show a path to a better future.

After decades of significant progress, the prospects of women and girls in Afghanistan are once again dependent on radical Islamists who reject gender equality. When the United States announced the end of their twenty-year occupation and the Taliban seized control of the country on August 15, 2021, a steep regression of social, political, and economic freedoms for women in the country began.   But just because a brutal regime has taken over doesn't mean Afghan women will stand by while their rights are stripped away. In We Are Still Here, artist and activist Nahid Shahalimi compiles the voices of thirteen powerful, insightful, and influential Afghan women who have worked as politicians, journalists, scientists, filmmakers, artists, coders, musicians, and more. As they reflect on their country's past, stories of their own upbringing and the ways they have been able to empower girls and women over the past two decades emerge. They report on the fear and pain caused by the impending loss of their homeland, but, above all, on what many girls and women in Afghanistan have already lost: freedom, self-determination, and joy.   The result is an arresting book that issues an appeal to remember Afghan girls and women and to show solidarity with them.

You’ll tear through it by sundown and walk away thinking about the Princess of Wales and her two sons with new perspective .” –Men’s Journal   From the moments William and Harry are born into the House of Windsor, they become their young mother’s whole world.    I’ve got two very healthy, strong boys. I realize how incredibly lucky I am, Diana reminds herself every morning. But even the Princess of Wales questions, Am I a good mother?     Diana’s faced with a seemingly impossible challenge: one son destined to be King of England and another determined to find his own way.  She teaches them to honor royal tradition, even while daring to break it.    “Sometimes I’d like a time machine…” Diana says as William and Harry grow up, never imagining they’d have less than a lifetime together. Even after she’s gone, her sons follow their mother’s lead—and her heart.

You’ll tear through it by sundown and walk away thinking about the Princess of Wales and her two sons with new perspective .” –Men’s Journal   From the moments William and Harry are born into the House of Windsor, they become their young mother’s whole world.    I’ve got two very healthy, strong boys. I realize how incredibly lucky I am, Diana reminds herself every morning. But even the Princess of Wales questions, Am I a good mother?     Diana’s faced with a seemingly impossible challenge: one son destined to be King of England and another determined to find his own way.  She teaches them to honor royal tradition, even while daring to break it.    “Sometimes I’d like a time machine…” Diana says as William and Harry grow up, never imagining they’d have less than a lifetime together. Even after she’s gone, her sons follow their mother’s lead—and her heart. As the years pass and William and Harry grow into adulthood and form families of their own, they carry on Diana’s name, her likeness, and her incomparable spirit.   “James Patterson applies his writerly skills to real-life history with novelistic style” (People) in this deeply personal and revealing biography of the world’s most storied family, from the world’s #1 bestselling author.]]>185cleanfullhttps://www.spreaker.com/episode/spanish-maximas-y-reflexiones-de-un-renacentista-sagaz-by-francesco-guicciardini-manuel-manzano-translator--65147495https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/567724 to listen full audiobooks.

Title: Henrietta Maria: Conspirator, Warrior, Phoenix Queen Author: Leanda De Lisle Narrator: Daphne Kouma Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 12 hours 44 minutes Release date: August 4, 2022 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 4 of Total 1 Genres: History & Culture Publisher's Summary: Brought to you by Penguin. A myth-busting biography of Henrietta Maria, wife of Charles I, which retells the dramatic story of the civil war from her perspective Henrietta Maria is the most reviled consort to have worn the crown of Britain's Three Kingdoms. Condemned as that 'Popish brat of France', a 'notorious whore' and traitor, she remains in popular memory the wife who wore the breeches and turned her husband Catholic ? so causing a civil war ? and a cruel and bigoted mother. Leanda de Lisle's White King was hailed as 'the definitive modern biography about Charles I' (Observer). Here she considers Henrietta Maria's point of view, unpicking the myths to reveal a very different queen. We meet a new bride who enjoyed annoying her uptight husband, a leader of fashion in clothes and cultural matters, an innovative builder and gardener and an advocate of the female voice in public affairs. No bigot, her closest friends included 'Puritans' as well as Catholics, and she led the anti-Spanish faction at court linked to the Protestant cause in the Thirty Years War. When civil war came, the strategic planning and fundraising of his 'She Generalissimo' proved crucial to Charles's campaign. The story takes us to courts across Europe, and looks at the fate of Henrietta Maria's mother and her sisters, who also faced civil wars. Her estrangement from her son Henry is explained, and the image of the Restoration queen as an irrelevant crone is replaced with Henrietta Maria as an influential 'phoenix queen', presiding over a court with 'more mirth' even than that of the Merry Monarch, Charles II. It is time to look again at this despised queen and judge if she is not in fact one of our most remarkable. © Leanda de Lisle 2022 (P) Penguin Audio 2022]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/585091Thu, 04 Aug 2022 09:25:07 +0000Jerod RusselPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/585091 to listen full audiobooks.

Jason Sommer's father, Jay, is ninety-eight years old and losing his memory. More than seventy years after arriving in New York from WWII-torn Europe, he is forgetting the stories that defined his life, the life of his family, and the lives of millions of Jews who were affected by Nazi terror.

Shmuel's Bridge shows history through a double lens: the memories of a growing son's complex relationship with his father and the meditations of that son who, now grown, finds himself caring for a man losing all connection to a past that must not be forgotten.]]>1805cleanfullhttps://www.spreaker.com/episode/this-america-of-ours-bernard-and-avis-devoto-and-the-forgotten-fight-to-save-the-wild-by-nate-schweber--65147489https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/566747 to listen full audiobooks. Title: This America Of Ours: Bernard and Avis DeVoto and the Forgotten Fight to Save the Wild Author: Nate Schweber Narrator: Fred Sanders Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 11 hours 31 minutes Release date: July 5, 2022 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 5 of Total 1 Genres: History & Culture Publisher's Summary: The untold story of the extraordinary fight to defend American wilderness from McCarthyism, and the radical couple who led the charge—and inspired a future of conservation In late-1940s America, few writers commanded attention like Bernard DeVoto. Alongside his brilliant wife and editor, Avis, DeVoto was a firebrand of American liberty, free speech, and perhaps our greatest national treasure: public lands. But when a corrupt band of lawmakers, led by Senator Pat McCarran, sought to quietly cede millions of acres of national parks and other western lands to logging, mining, and private industry, the DeVotos entered the fight of their lives. Bernard and Avis built a broad grassroots coalition to sound the alarm—from Julia and Paul Child to Ansel Adams, Arthur Schlesinger Jr., Alfred Knopf, Adlai Stevenson, and Wallace Stegner—while the very pillars of American democracy, embodied in free and public access to Western lands, hung in the balance. Their dramatic crusade would earn them censorship and blacklisting by Joe McCarthy, J. Edgar Hoover, and Roy Cohn, and it even cost Bernard his life. In This America of Ours, award-winning journalist Nate Schweber uncovers the forgotten story of a progressive alliance that altered the course of twentieth-century history and saved American wilderness—and our country’s most fundamental ideals—from ruin.

Title: King of the World: The Life of Cyrus the Great Author: Matt Waters Narrator: Michael Page Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 7 hours 12 minutes Release date: July 5, 2022 Genres: History & Culture Publisher's Summary: The Persian Empire was the world's first hyperpower, with territory stretching from Central Asia to Northeastern Africa and from Southeastern Europe to the Indus Valley. It was the dominant geopolitical force from the later sixth century to its conquest by Alexander in the 330s BCE. Much of the empire's territory was conquered by its founder, Cyrus the Great, who reigned from 559-530 BCE. Cyrus became a legend in his own lifetime, and his career inspired keen interest from Persia's unruly neighbors to the west, the ancient Greeks. The idealized portrait of Cyrus by the Greek Xenophon had a profound impact on ancient, medieval, and early modern debates about rulership. King of the World provides an authoritative and accessible account of Cyrus the Great's life, career, and legacy. While Greek sources remain central to any narrative about Cyrus, a wealth of primary evidence is found in the ancient Near East, including documentary, archaeological, art historical, and biblical material. Matt Waters draws from all of these sources while consistently contextualizing them in order to provide a cohesive understanding of Cyrus the Great. This overview addresses issues of interpretation and reconciles limited material, while the narrative keeps Cyrus the Great's compelling career at the forefront.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/584256Tue, 05 Jul 2022 09:25:07 +0000Jerod RusselPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/584256 to listen full audiobooks.

In September 2016, Jerry Stahl was feeling nervous on the eve of a two-week trip across Poland and Germany. But it was not just the stops at Auschwitz, Buchenwald, and Dachau that gave him anxiety. It was the fact that he would be traveling with two dozen strangers, by bus. In a tour group. And he was not a tour-group kind of guy. The decision to visit Holocaust-world did not come easy. Stahl's lifelong depression at an all-time high, his career and personal life at an all-time low, he had the idea to go on a trip where the despair he was feeling—out-of-control sadness, regret, and fear, not just for himself, but for our entire country—would be appropriate. And where was despair more appropriate than the land of the Six Million? Seamlessly weaving global and personal history, through the lens of Stahl's own bent perspective, Nein, Nein, Nein! stands out as a triumph of strange-o reporting, a tale that takes us from gang polkas to tour-rash to the truly disturbing snack bar at Auschwitz. Strap in for a raw, surreal, and redemptively hilarious trip.

Which means he has spent a lifetime navigating places of learning that are white by default. Since training to teach, he has often been the only black teacher at school. At times seen as a role model, at others a source of curiosity, Boakye’s is a journey of exploration – from the outside looking in. In the groundbreaking I Heard What You Said, he recounts how it feels to be on the margins of the British education system. As a black, male teacher – an English teacher who has had to teach problematic texts – his very existence is a provocation to the status quo, giving him a unique perspective on the UK’s classrooms. Through a series of eye-opening encounters based on the often challenging and sometimes outrageous things people have said to him or about him, Boakye reflects on what he has found out about the habits, presumptions, silences and distortions that black students and teachers experience, and which underpin British education. Thought-provoking, witty and completely unafraid, I Heard What You Said is a timely exploration of how we can dismantle racism in the classroom and do better by all our students.

How do you prove you’re not an imposter in your own life?  When the partner of Emmy Award–winning screenwriter Abi Morgan abruptly collapsed from a mysterious illness, doctors were concerned that he would not survive. Then, six months later, Jacob woke from his coma, to the delight and relief of his family and friends—except this proved to be anything but a Hollywood ending.

Title: [Spanish] - Desmorir: Una reflexión sobre la enfermedad en un mundo capitalista Author: Anne Boyer, Patricia Gonzalo De Jesús (translator) Narrator: Aneta Fernández Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 4 hours 58 minutes Release date: May 25, 2022 Genres: History & Culture Publisher's Summary: Una semana después de cumplir 41 años, a la poeta Anne Boyer le diagnosticaron un cáncer de mama triple negativo de pronóstico grave que requería un tratamiento muy agresivo. Como madre soltera habituada a vivir al día y a prodigar cuidados antes que a recibirlos, la dramática enfermedad supuso una crisis, pero también un punto de partida para recapacitar sobre la mortalidad y las políticas de género relacionadas con la salud. Desmorir es la descarnada narración del proceso de enfermedad y supervivencia de la autora, pero es también un libro de memorias que se rebela contra el género memorístico, un recuento personal que rechaza limitarse a lo individual. Sumándose a la larga lista de autoras que han escrito sobre el cáncer, como Audre Lorde, Kathy Acker y Susan Sontag, Boyer reflexiona con furia, brillantez y clarividencia sobre la enfermedad y la salud en nuestra sociedad, abordando temas como la experiencia corporal y mental del dolor, la proliferación de charlatanes y oportunistas, el abuso de las farmacéuticas, el cinismo político en el debate de sanidad pública versus privada y, en definitiva, la hipocresía que rodea la industria de la salud en nuestro mundo. Obra reconocida con el Premio Pulitzer de No Ficción en 2020, profundamente humana y conmovedora, Desmorir es una imprescindible meditación acerca de la enfermedad en un mundo capitalista, y acerca de las miserias y las grandezas de la vida contemporánea. 'Una irrupción sobrecogedora e imprescindible en nuestros discursos sobre la enfermedad y la salud, el arte y la ciencia, el lenguaje y la literatura, la mortalidad y la muerte.'—Sally Rooney 'Narrada con precisión febril, la historia de Boyer es solo uno de los hilos argumentales de un libro que reflexiona sobre la necesidad de encontrar una causa común en el sufrimiento individual.'—Jennifer Szalai, The New York Times 'Un libro indignado, hermoso y brillante de crítica hecha desde el cuerpo.'—Ben Lerner]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/569239Wed, 25 May 2022 09:25:07 +0000Jerod RusselPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/569239 to listen full audiobooks.

In The 2% Way, discover the simple, revolutionary practice behind the against-the-odds success story of Dr. Myron L. Rolle.

'The moments in life of 'knowing'. On Bognor Beach, with Grandpa England, she had 'known' that he, and Papa, and she, would carry something on, something given, something bigger than themselves.' Lilibet: a carefree child, a lover of horses and dogs, devoted to her family. And the girl who would be Queen. A.N. Wilson, one of England's most beloved writers, imagines the Queen reflecting on her early life. We watch as she discovers, at the tender age of ten, that she is heir to the throne. We witness her meet the dashing Prince Phillip of Greece, who she loved steadfastly from the age of fifteen, and see their friendship blossom into passionate love. Above all, we learn of her astonishing sense of vocation and public duty, which grew during the dark years of WWII and her father's subsequent years of ill health. Honouring the life of Her Majesty the Queen and her illustrious reign, Lilibet: The Girl Who Would be Queen is by turns funny, tender and heartfelt.

I was a prisoner of war, lying among the dead, waiting for the bodies to be carried away so that I might have more room.' When Ernest Gordon was twenty-four he was captured by the Japanese and forced, with other British prisoners, to build the notorious 'Railroad of Death,' where nearly 16,000 prisoners of war gave their life. Faced with the appalling conditions of the prisoners' camp and the brutality of the captors, he survived to become an inspiring example of the triumph of the human spirit against all odds.

I was a prisoner of war, lying among the dead, waiting for the bodies to be carried away so that I might have more room.' When Ernest Gordon was twenty-four he was captured by the Japanese and forced, with other British prisoners, to build the notorious 'Railroad of Death,' where nearly 16,000 prisoners of war gave their life.

Title: Ӕthelflӕd: The Lady of the Mercians Author: Tim Clarkson Narrator: Hannah Curtis Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 8 hours 7 minutes Release date: April 26, 2022 Genres: History & Culture Publisher's Summary: This Dark Ages biography chronicles the life of one of the period's most famous women: the ruler of Mercia who took England back from the Vikings. At the end of the ninth century, a large part of what is now England was controlled by the Vikings—warlike Scandinavians who had been attacking the British Isles for more than a hundred years. Alfred the Great, king of Wessex, was determined to regain the conquered lands. But when he died in 899 A.D., the task passed to his son Edward. In the early 900s, Edward led a great fight against the Viking armies, assisted by the English rulers of Mercia: Lord Æthelred and his wife Æthelflæd, who was also Edward's sister. After her husband's death, Æthelflæd ruled Mercia on her own, leading the army to war and working with her brother to achieve their father's aims. Known to history as the Lady of the Mercians, she earned a reputation as a capable general who was feared by her enemies. In this authoritative biography, Tim Clarkson tells her remarkable life story from childhood to her vital role in saving England from the Vikings.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/574245Tue, 26 Apr 2022 09:25:07 +0000Jerod RusselPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/574245 to listen full audiobooks.

It is here that she learns how to get her bearings as a mixed-race brown girl in the Deep South and begins to understand how identity can inspire, inform, and shape a commitment to activism. Her own evolution is a bumpy one, and along the way Enjeti, racially targeted as a child, must wrestle with her own complicity in white supremacy and bigotry as an adult. The twenty essays of her debut collection, Southbound, tackle white feminism at a national feminist organization, the early years of the AIDS epidemic in the South, voter suppression, gun violence and the gun sense movement, the whitewashing of southern literature, the 1982 racialized killing of Vincent Chin, social media's role in political accountability, evangelical Christianity's marriage to extremism, and the rise of nationalism worldwide. In our current era of great political strife, this timely collection by Enjeti, a journalist and organizer, paves the way for a path forward, one where identity drives coalition-building and social change.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/576032Tue, 19 Apr 2022 09:25:07 +0000Jerod RusselPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/576032 to listen full audiobooks.

Title: The New Elizabethans: A BBC history of the Queen’s reign, told through its most notable characters Author: James Naughtie Narrator: James Naughtie Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 6 hours 53 minutes Release date: April 14, 2022 Genres: History & Culture Publisher's Summary: James Naughtie examines the lives and impact of the men and women who have given the second Elizabethan Age its character As the longest-lived and longest-reigning monarch of the United Kingdom, Queen Elizabeth II has presided over an era of tremendous social, political and cultural change. In 2012, to mark her Diamond Jubilee, Radio 4 looked back on the long span of her reign, and asked the public to choose high-profile public figures who have helped to define this New Elizabethan Age. Almost a thousand nominations poured in, and the final selection was decided by a panel of leading writers and historians, including Dominic Sandbrook, Bamber Gascoigne and Max Hastings. In this celebratory collection, distinguished broadcaster James Naughtie profiles 37 of these iconic individuals. They come from all walks of life - from artists and scientists like David Hockney and Francis Crick, to business legends such as Alan Sainsbury and Anita Roddick, politicians including Roy Jenkins, Tony Blair and Alex Salmond, and even a member of the Royal Family: Diana, Princess of Wales. Some are world-famous, others less well-known, and there are several surprising choices - and a few controversial ones. But all have made their mark on our nation, for good or ill. Here are fascinating portraits of mountaineer Sir Edmund Hillary, whose conquest of Everest was announced on the day of the Queen's coronation; Elizabeth David, the food writer who brought European cuisine to British tables; leading thinker on British culture, race and identity Stuart Hall; renowned English composer Benjamin Britten; the inventor of the World Wide Web, Tim Berners-Lee - and many more, whose achievements and influence will stand the test of time. Together, they shine a light on postwar Britain, illuminating how our society has evolved over the seven decades since Queen Elizabeth II's accession.

Title: Daughters of Chivalry: The Forgotten Princesses of King Edward Longshanks Author: Kelcey Wilson-Lee Narrator: Christine Rendel Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 12 hours 7 minutes Release date: April 12, 2022 Genres: History & Culture Publisher's Summary: Virginal, chaste, humble, patiently waiting for rescue by brave knights and handsome princes: this idealized—and largely mythical—notion of the medieval noblewoman still lingers. Yet the reality was very different, as Kelcey Wilson-Lee shows in this vibrant account of the five daughters of Edward I, often known as Longshanks. The lives of these sisters—Eleanora, Joanna, Margaret, Mary, and Elizabeth—ran the gamut of experiences open to royal women in the Middle Ages. Edward's daughters were of course expected to cement alliances and secure lands and territory by making great dynastic marriages, or endow religious houses with royal favor. But they also skillfully managed enormous households, navigated choppy diplomatic waters, and promoted their family's cause throughout Europe—and had the courage to defy their royal father. They might never wear the crown in their own right, but they were utterly confident of their crucial role in the spectacle of medieval kingship.

Title: Benjamin Franklin's Last Bet: The Favorite Founder's Divisive Death, Enduring Afterlife, and Blueprint for American Prosperity Author: Michael Meyer Narrator: Donald Corren Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 10 hours 4 minutes Release date: April 12, 2022 Genres: History & Culture Publisher's Summary: The incredible story of Benjamin Franklin’s parting gift to the working-class people of Boston and Philadelphia—a deathbed wager that captures the Founder’s American Dream and his lessons for our current, conflicted age. Benjamin Franklin was not a gambling man. But at the end of his illustrious life, the Founder allowed himself a final wager on the survival of the United States: a gift of two thousand pounds to Boston and Philadelphia, to be lent out to tradesmen over the next two centuries to jump-start their careers. Each loan would be repaid with interest over ten years. If all went according to Franklin’s inventive scheme, the accrued final payout in 1991 would be a windfall.  In Benjamin Franklin’s Last Bet, Michael Meyer traces the evolution of these twin funds as they age alongside America itself, bankrolling woodworkers and silversmiths, trade schools and space races. Over time, Franklin’s wager was misused, neglected, and contested—but never wholly extinguished. With charm and inquisitive flair, Meyer shows how Franklin’s stake in the “leather-apron” class remains in play to this day, and offers an inspiring blueprint for prosperity in our modern era of growing wealth disparity and social divisions.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/566744Tue, 12 Apr 2022 09:25:07 +0000Jerod RusselPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/566744 to listen full audiobooks.

With charm and inquisitive flair, Meyer shows how Franklin’s stake in the “leather-apron” class remains in play to this day, and offers an inspiring blueprint for prosperity in our modern era of growing wealth disparity and social divisions.]]>305cleanfullhttps://www.spreaker.com/episode/daughters-of-the-north-jean-gordon-and-mary-queen-of-scots-by-jennifer-morag-henderson--65147391https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/578996 to listen full audiobooks.

Title: Jefferson An Autobiography In Letters & Private Writings Author: Thomas Jefferson Narrator: The Ark, Geoffrey Giuliano Format: Abridged Audiobook Length: 10 hours 33 minutes Release date: April 7, 2022 Genres: History & Culture Publisher's Summary: Thomas Jefferson was an American statesman, diplomat, lawyer, architect, philosopher, and Founding Father who served as the third president of the United States from 1801 to 1809. He had previously served as the second vice president of the United States under John Adams and as the first United States secretary of state under George Washington. The principal author of the Declaration of Independence, Jefferson was a proponent of democracy, republicanism, and individual rights, motivating American colonists to break from the Kingdom of Great Britain and form a new nation; he produced formative documents and decisions at both the state and national levels. During the American Revolution, Jefferson represented Virginia in the Continental Congress that adopted the Declaration of Independence. As a Virginia legislator, he drafted a state law for religious freedom. He served as the second Governor of Virginia from 1779 to 1781, during the American Revolutionary War. In 1785, Jefferson was appointed the United States Minister to France, and subsequently, the nation's first secretary of state under President George Washington from 1790 to 1793. Jefferson and James Madison organized the Democratic-Republican Party to oppose the Federalist Party during the formation of the First Party System. With Madison, he anonymously wrote the provocative Kentucky and Virginia Resolutions in 1798 and 1799, which sought to strengthen states' rights by nullifying the federal Alien and Sedition Acts. As president, Jefferson pursued the nation's shipping and trade interests against Barbary pirates and aggressive British trade policies. Starting in 1803, Jefferson promoted a western expansionist policy, organizing the Louisiana Purchase which doubled the nation's claimed land area. To make room for settlement, Jefferson began the process of Indian tribal removal from the newly acquired territory. As a result of peace negotiations with France, his administration reduced military forces.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/588274Thu, 07 Apr 2022 09:25:07 +0000Jerod RusselPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/588274 to listen full audiobooks.

Title: [Spanish] - Oración: Carta a Vicki y otras elegías políticas Author: María Moreno Narrator: Ines Ulanovsky Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 8 hours 46 minutes Release date: April 1, 2022 Genres: History & Culture Publisher's Summary: Partiendo del enfrentamiento en el que muere Vicki Walsh a través de documentos y testimonios de sobrevivientes, Oración es una relectura de la obra periodística de Rodolfo Walsh y sus procedimientos estético-políticos a partir de sus 'Carta a Vicki' y 'Carta a mis amigos', menos conocidas que su 'Carta a la Junta'. Combinación y cruce de géneros, el libro es principalmente una investigación sobre la verdad en su dimensión para-judicial, sus metáforas y el nuevo valor del testimonio. Oración es de aquellos libros que transforman nuestra sensibilidad al pensar la tragedia humana. Con la investigación del asalto del Ejército a la casa donde a fines de 1976 muere Vicki Walsh, el libro propone una nueva tradición fundada en las cartas que Rodolfo Walsh dedica a su hija y a sus amigos. En esos textos, la gesta política de Walsh se transforma en literaria e íntima, porque instaura un linaje de mujeres destinado a jaquear el protocolo testimonial de la violencia política que -en cine, literatura y teatro- estallará con la interpelación recurrente de hijas y madres sobre los alcances de la vida y el amor. María Moreno, consagrada como una de las voces más audaces y plenas de Hispanoamérica, arrasa con las fronteras entre ensayo, literatura, crítica, investigación y biografía para llevar la escritura a un nuevo mundo, del que es a la vez creadora, descubridora y cronista. La crítica ha dicho... «Somos muchos los que consideramos a María Moreno la mejor cronista argentina de todos los tiempos y una de las voces documentales más lúcidas de la lengua, entre otras hipérboles razonables.» Jorge Carrión, The New York Times 'La verdad de Moreno es una norma de estilo, de un gran estilo plebeyo.'

Title: Straits: Beyond the Myth of Magellan Author: Felipe Fernández-Armesto Narrator: Kris Dyer Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 15 hours 34 minutes Release date: March 29, 2022 Genres: History & Culture Publisher's Summary: For centuries, Ferdinand Magellan has been celebrated as a hero: a noble adventurer who circumnavigated the globe in an extraordinary feat of human bravery; a paragon of daring and chivalry. Now, renowned historian Felipe Fernández-Armesto draws on extensive and meticulous research to conduct a dazzling investigation into Magellan's life, his character and his ill-fated voyage. He shows that Magellan did not attempt – much less accomplish – a journey around the globe, and that in his own lifetime, the explorer was abhorred as a traitor, reviled as a tyrant and dismissed as a failure. He probes the passions and tensions that drove Magellan to adventure and drew him to disaster: the pride that became arrogance, daring that became recklessness, determination that became ruthlessness, romanticism that became irresponsibility, and superficial piety that became, in adversity, irrational exaltation. And as the real Magellan emerges, so to do his real ambitions, focused less on circumnavigating the world or cornering the global spice market than on exploiting Filipino gold. Offering up a stranger, darker and even more compelling narrative than the fictional version that has been glorified for half a millennium, Straits untangles the myths that made Magellan a hero. 'Scintillating and compelling, and told with all of Felipe Fernández Armesto's habitual verve and wit, it is at the same time a sobering insight into how we have come to conceive our own increasingly globalized world.' Anthony Pagden, author of Worlds at War: The 2,500-Year Struggle Between East and West 'Straits is a triumph of biographical writing. With his characteristic vigor and panache, Felipe Fernández-Armesto circumnavigates Magellan's life and times with a clearer object in mind and far greater success than ever imagined for this subject. He shows us not only the skills and bravado but also the intrigues, the self-deception, and even the insanity that animated Magellan's quest.' Lincoln Paine, author of The Sea and Civilization: A Maritime History of the World 'By pulling apart the usually willfully misread sources in their original languages with a detective's eye for contradiction and inconsistency, Straits unravels a yarn of unmitigated failure punctuated by hubris, meanness, and crafty power grabs. The Ferdinand Magellan who emerges from these freshly disinterred sources is no hero but rather a ruthless gentleman of fortune who died to tell the tale.'--Kris Lane, author of Potosi: The Silver City That Changed the World]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/564280Tue, 29 Mar 2022 09:25:07 +0000Jerod RusselPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/564280 to listen full audiobooks.

Dixon Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 5 hours 9 minutes Release date: March 29, 2022 Genres: History & Culture Publisher's Summary: A Sunday Times number one bestseller in the United Kingdom, this is the intimate and revealing autobiography of Margaret Rhodes, first cousin of Queen Elizabeth II and niece of Queen Elizabeth, the Queen Mother. Margaret was born into the Scottish aristocracy, into a now almost vanished world of privilege. Royalty often came to stay, and her house was run in the style of Downton Abbey. During the Second World War, she 'lodged' at Buckingham Palace while she worked for MI5. She was a bridesmaid at the wedding of her cousin, Princess Elizabeth, to Prince Philip. Three years later, the King and Queen attended her own wedding, in which Princess Margaret was a bridesmaid. In 1990, she was appointed as a lady-in-waiting to the Queen Mother, acting also as her companion, which she describes in touching detail. In the early months of 2002, she spent as much time as possible with her ailing aunt and was at her bedside when she died. The next morning, she went to Queen Elizabeth's bedroom to pray, and in farewell dropped her a final curtsey. The Queen Mother regarded Margaret Rhodes as her 'third daughter,' and she has been extremely close to her cousins, the Queen and Princess Margaret, throughout their lives. Full of charming anecdotes and fascinating characters, this is an unparalleled insight into the private life of the British monarchy.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/574230Tue, 29 Mar 2022 09:25:07 +0000Jerod RusselPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/574230 to listen full audiobooks.

The next morning, she went to Queen Elizabeth's bedroom to pray, and in farewell dropped her a final curtsey. The Queen Mother regarded Margaret Rhodes as her 'third daughter,' and she has been extremely close to her cousins, the Queen and Princess Margaret, throughout their lives. Full of charming anecdotes and fascinating characters, this is an unparalleled insight into the private life of the British monarchy.]]>1805cleanfullhttps://www.spreaker.com/episode/finding-true-north-the-healing-power-of-place-by-linda-gask--65147448https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/564249 to listen full audiobooks.

A courageous and intimate memoir, The Education of Augie Merasty is the story of a child who faced the dark heart of humanity, let loose by the cruel policies of a bigoted nation. A retired fisherman and trapper who sometimes lived rough on the streets, Augie Merasty was one of an estimated 150,000 First Nations, Inuit, and Metis children who were taken from their families and sent to government-funded, church-run schools, where they were subjected to a policy of aggressive assimilation. As Augie recounts, these schools did more than attempt to mould children in the ways of white society. They were taught to be ashamed of their heritage and, as he experienced, often suffered physical and sexual abuse.

Title: Rebel: My Escape from Saudi Arabia to Freedom Author: Rahaf Mohammed Narrator: Sally Armstrong Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 7 hours 12 minutes Release date: March 8, 2022 Genres: History & Culture Publisher's Summary: ‘Through her courageous resistance, she has, for a moment, drawn global attention to the ongoing struggle of Saudi women. The striking image of a young woman, wielding nothing but a cellphone, facing down the force of an oppressive government is an apt metaphor for this fraught moment in Saudi Arabia’s history.’ THE WASHINGTON POST A gripping true story of bravery and sacrifice by a young woman whose escape from Saudi Arabia captivated the world. In early 2019, after more than a year of careful planning, Rahaf Mohammed boarded a plane and finally escaped from Saudi Arabia. If caught, she was sure she would be killed, like other rebel women who had tried to flee her country’s oppressive regime. But the eighteen-year-old only made it as far as Bangkok before her passport was taken away. It was a trick, and soon she found herself trapped, barricaded in a hotel room. As men pounded on her door, the teenager decided to reach out to the world on Twitter – and the world answered.

Title: Rebel: My Escape from Saudi Arabia to Freedom Author: Rahaf Mohammed Narrator: Sally Armstrong Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 7 hours 12 minutes Release date: March 8, 2022 Genres: History & Culture Publisher's Summary: ‘Through her courageous resistance, she has, for a moment, drawn global attention to the ongoing struggle of Saudi women. The striking image of a young woman, wielding nothing but a cellphone, facing down the force of an oppressive government is an apt metaphor for this fraught moment in Saudi Arabia’s history.’ THE WASHINGTON POST A gripping true story of bravery and sacrifice by a young woman whose escape from Saudi Arabia captivated the world. In early 2019, after more than a year of careful planning, Rahaf Mohammed boarded a plane and finally escaped from Saudi Arabia. If caught, she was sure she would be killed, like other rebel women who had tried to flee her country’s oppressive regime. But the eighteen-year-old only made it as far as Bangkok before her passport was taken away. It was a trick, and soon she found herself trapped, barricaded in a hotel room. As men pounded on her door, the teenager decided to reach out to the world on Twitter – and the world answered. Her account gained forty-five thousand followers overnight and offered her a vital lifeline. This was Rahaf’s chance at a new life, the one she had dreamed of. Now Rahaf tells her remarkable story for the first time and reveals the dystopian reality of what life is like for women within Saudi Arabia.

Title: The Trials of Harry S. Truman: The Extraordinary Presidency of an Ordinary Man, 1945-1953 Author: Jeffrey Frank Narrator: Fred Sanders Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 17 hours 3 minutes Release date: March 8, 2022 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 5 of Total 2 Ratings of Narrator: 5 of Total 1 Genres: History & Culture Publisher's Summary: Jeffrey Frank, author of the bestselling Ike and Dick, returns with the “beguiling” (The New York Times) first full account of the Truman presidency in nearly thirty years, recounting how a seemingly ordinary man met the extraordinary challenge of leading America through the pivotal years of the mid-20th century. The nearly eight years of Harry Truman’s presidency—among the most turbulent in American history—were marked by victory in the wars against Germany and Japan; the first use of an atomic bomb and the development of far deadlier weapons; the start of the Cold War and the creation of the NATO alliance; the Marshall Plan to rebuild the wreckage of postwar Europe; the Red Scare; and the fateful decision to commit troops to fight a costly “limited war” in Korea. Historians have tended to portray Truman as stolid and decisive, with a homespun manner, but the man who emerges in The Trials of Harry S. Truman is complex and surprising. He believed that the point of public service was to improve the lives of one’s fellow citizens and fought for a national health insurance plan. While he was disturbed by the brutal treatment of African Americans and came to support stronger civil rights laws, he never relinquished the deep-rooted outlook of someone with Confederate ancestry reared in rural Missouri. He was often carried along by the rush of events and guided by men who succeeded in refining his fixed and facile view of the postwar world. And while he prided himself on his Midwestern rationality, he could act out of instinct and combativeness, as when he asserted a president’s untested power to seize the nation’s steel mills. The Truman who emerges in these pages is a man with generous impulses, loyal to friends and family, and blessed with keen political instincts, but insecure, quick to anger, and prone to hasty decisions. Archival discoveries, and research that led from Missouri to Washington, Berlin and Korea, have contributed to an indelible and “intimate” (The Washington Post) portrait of a man, born in the 19th century, who set the nation on a course that reverberates in the 21st century, a leader who never lost a schoolboy’s love for his country and its Constitution.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/575752Tue, 08 Mar 2022 09:25:07 +0000Jerod RusselPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/575752 to listen full audiobooks.

En esta obra, una de las víctimas de Andrés Roemer recopila buena parte de las agresiones sexuales que ese comunicador perpetró a lo largo de los años, y las contextualiza con otros escándalos en los que ha estado envuelto. Este libro reconstruye los principales pasajes de la vida de Roemer, académico, conductor y promotor de sí mismo acusado de más de 60 ataques sexuales, desde acoso hasta violación. Además de recopilar los casos de los que se tiene más información pública, la autora cuenta también su propia historia, en la que sufrió acoso cuando ella hacía su servicio social.

What was it like to be so privileged yet so anguished, so beloved yet so self-loathing, so spoiled yet so despairing? The Princess of Wales was all these things--far more complicated, conflicted, and intriguing a person than the wildly disparate saint or lunatic she is frequently portrayed to be. Royal insider Lady Colin Campbell sets the record straight on many of the most controversial aspects of Diana's turbulent life: how Charles and Diana's engagement came to pass, though it seemed ill-advised to those closest to both of them; what their honeymoon was really like; the truth behind Diana's bulimia, her widely reported suicide attempts, and her obsession with Camilla Parker Bowles; Diana's search for love and fulfillment with numerous men before, during, and after her marriage; her brilliant manipulations of the press; and her relationship with Dodi Fayed. Lady Colin Campbell's New York Times bestselling biography Diana in Private was the first to expose the truth about Diana and her troubled marriage. In The Real Diana, she reveals that the reason she knew so much about what went on behind the palace gates was because Diana herself was the source.

Title: The Way of Abundance and Joy: The Shamanic Teachings of don Alberto Taxo Author: Shirley Blancke Narrator: Ryan Paige, Aura Paige Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 8 hours 59 minutes Release date: February 15, 2022 Genres: History & Culture Publisher's Summary: • Shows how to relate to and receive help from the elements, reconnect with nature to access abundance and joy, connect with plants, animals, water, air, and fire • Explores don Alberto’s upbringing in a family of yachaks, his initiation, and his personal work to fulfill the Andean prophecy of the Eagle and the Condor • Includes reflections and essays from several of don Alberto’s students and others who have worked with him, including Itzhak Beery and John Perkins Recognized as a master yachak, don Alberto Taxo was a celebrated spiritual elder, shaman, and healer of the pre-Inca Atik (Kichwa) people from the Andes Mountains of Ecuador. He shared ancient Andean shamanic wisdom and practices in the United States for more than 20 years--his personal quest to fulfill the Andean prophecy that the Eagle and the Condor will fly together in the same sky in harmony. Written with don Alberto’s permission and as further fulfillment of the Eagle-Condor prophecy, this book shares don Alberto’s teachings and his simple approaches for building a reciprocal relationship with nature, centered on Sumak Kausay, the way of joy and abundance. As a yachak, a shaman of the elements, don Alberto showed how to relate to and receive help from nature. When we are connected with nature on an emotional and spiritual level it creates joy that is deeply healing and can be accessed during life’s difficulties. The book discusses traditional Ecuadorian shamanic beliefs and practices, including Andean Inca cosmology; how to connect with plants, animals, air, fire, and water in sacred springs, the ocean, or your shower; and Inca concepts like Pacha, the space-time era in which we live that is now transitioning to a new one of connection and love after 500 years. The book explores don Alberto’s upbringing in a family of yachaks, his initiation, and his assumption of the role of shaman for his community. It also includes reflections and essays from don Alberto’s students and others who have worked with him, including shamanic teachers Itzhak Beery and John Perkins, showing how he influenced their lives and awakened them to the path of Sumak Kausay, Abundant Life.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/569860Tue, 15 Feb 2022 09:25:07 +0000Jerod RusselPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/569860 to listen full audiobooks.

Title: White Lies: The Double Life of Walter F. White and America's Darkest Secret Author: A. J. Baime Narrator: Wayne Carr Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 12 hours 57 minutes Release date: February 8, 2022 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 4.75 of Total 4 Genres: History & Culture Publisher's Summary: A New Yorker Best Book of the Year 2022 An “electrifying” biography of Walter White, a little-remembered Black civil rights leader who passed for white in order to investigate racist murders, help put the NAACP on the map, and change the racial identity of America forever (Chicago Review of Books). Walter F. White led two lives: one as a leader of the Harlem Renaissance and the NAACP in the early twentieth century; the other as a white newspaperman who covered lynching crimes in the Deep South at the blazing height of racial violence. Born mixed race and with very fair skin and straight hair, White was able to “pass” for white. He leveraged this ambiguity as a reporter, bringing to light the darkest crimes in America and helping to plant the seeds of the civil rights movement. White’s risky career led him to lead a double life. He was simultaneously a second-class citizen subject to Jim Crow laws at home and a widely respected professional with full access to the white world at work. His life was fraught with internal and external conflict—much like the story of race in America. Starting out as an obscure activist, White ultimately became Black America’s most prominent leader, during his time. A character study of White’s life and career with all these complexities has never been rendered, until now.

Journalist William Lloyd Garrison promoted emancipation while Garrison loyalist Maria Weston Chapman, known as “the Contessa,” raised money and managed Douglass’s speaking tour from her Boston townhouse. Conventional histories have seen Douglass’s departure for the New York wing of the Abolition party as a result of a rift between Douglass and Garrison. But, as acclaimed historian Linda Hirshman reveals, this completely misses the woman in power. Weston Chapman wrote cutting letters to Douglass, doubting his loyalty; the Bostonian abolitionists were shot through with racist prejudice, even aiming the N-word at Douglass among themselves. Through incisive, original analysis, Hirshman convinces that the inevitable breakup was in fact a successful failure. Eventually, as the most sought-after Black activist in America, Douglass was able to dangle the prize of his endorsement over the Republican Party’s candidate for president, Abraham Lincoln.

King Narrator: Madeline Mccray Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 5 hours 44 minutes Release date: January 31, 2022 Genres: History & Culture Publisher's Summary: As seen on The Today Show When she was fifteen years old, Leslie King ran away from an abusive home, looking for a better life and longing for real love. What she found instead was a man who wooed her just long enough to trap her in a life of prostitution. She became one of the many thousands of trafficked individuals in the United States, a number that continues to rise. As is true for so many in similar situations, life was nothing but brokenness and pain for Leslie. After years of hopelessness, she finally decided to take her own life. And then God spoke. With his promise that he was with her and had mighty things for her to accomplish ringing in her ears, she got off the streets, got clean, and got to work on the mission to which he'd called her.

Title: The Complete Abraham Lincoln American President Author: Ida M. Tarbell Narrator: Geoffrey Giuliano And The Icon Ensemble Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 23 hours 9 minutes Release date: January 29, 2022 Genres: History & Culture Publisher's Summary: A DEEP DIVE INTO THE LIFE AND TIMES OF AN AMERICAN ICON “Folks are usually about as happy as they make their minds up to be.” “Whatever you are, be a good one.” “Do I not destroy my enemies when I make them my friends?” “America will never be destroyed from the outside.' Abraham Lincoln Abraham Lincoln was born into poverty in a log cabin and was raised on the frontier primarily in Indiana. He was self-educated and became a lawyer, Whig Party leader, Illinois state legislator, and U.S. Congressman from Illinois. In 1849, he returned to his law practice but became vexed by the opening of additional lands to slavery. He reentered politics in 1854, becoming a leader in the Republican Party, and reached a national audience in the 1858 debates against Stephen Douglas. Lincoln ran for President in 1860, sweeping the North in victory. To secure its independence, the new Confederate States fired on Fort Sumter, a U.S. fort in the South, and Lincoln called up forces to suppress the rebellion and restore the Union. Lincoln, a moderate Republican, had to navigate an array of factions with friends and opponents from both the Democratic and Republican parties. He managed the factions by exploiting their mutual enmity, carefully distributing political patronage, and by appealing to the American people. His Gettysburg Address appealed to nationalistic, republican, egalitarian, libertarian, and democratic sentiments. Lincoln scrutinized the strategy and tactics in the war effort, including the selection of generals and the naval blockade of the South's trade. He suspended habeas corpus in Maryland, and he averted British intervention by defusing the Trent Affair. He engineered the end to slavery with his Emancipation Proclamation, including his order that the Army and Navy liberate, protect, and recruit former slaves.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/579477Sat, 29 Jan 2022 09:25:07 +0000Jerod RusselPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/579477 to listen full audiobooks.

Title: Life In Dakota With General Custer - Ghost Of Little Bighorn Author: Elizabeth Bacon Custer Narrator: Geoffrey Giuliano And The Icon Ensemble Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 8 hours 59 minutes Release date: January 26, 2022 Genres: History & Culture Publisher's Summary: Since the Battle of Little Bighorn, George Armstrong Custer (1839-1876) possessed one of the most unique places in American history. Although he was a capable cavalry officer who served honorably during the Civil War, he remains one of the most instantly identifiable and famous military men in American history due to the fact he was killed during one of the country’s most well known and ignominious defeats, the Battle of Little Bighorn. And yet, this one relatively insignificant battle during America’s Indian Wars has become one of the country’s most mythologized events and continues to fascinate Americans nearly 140 years later. Though he’s now best remembered for “Custer’s Last Stand”, Custer mastered the art of public relations, dressing impeccably and having newspaper correspondents accompany him on the campaign, all in an effort to help cultivate and enhance his legacy. For nearly 58 years, Elizabeth Bacon Custer was probably the most famous widow in the world. In this lively, fascinating, loving portrait of life on the plains with her already-famous husband, Libbie tells a civilized audience of the excitement, fun, and perils endured at a remote frontier post. Intelligent and beautiful, Libbie was a partner, confidant, and booster to the general, as well as an important figure in the social life of the posts he commanded. This book has been used as source material on the general's life as well as the frontier army for well over a century. Celebrated among the prominent people of her day, Libbie never remarried after Custer's death at the Little Bighorn in 1876. She spent the rest of her life writing and lecturing about him, burnishing his reputation and keeping his memory alive. Long a jewel of western Americana, this book continues to find and entertain new audiences in the 21st century.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/576733Wed, 26 Jan 2022 09:25:07 +0000Jerod RusselPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/576733 to listen full audiobooks.

Through his actions, he helped liberate all of us.'In this first comprehensive biography of Williams, Rolundus Rice demonstrates the truth in Lewis's words and argues that Williams's activism in the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC) was of central importance to the success of the larger civil rights movement. Rice traces Williams's journey from a local activist in Georgia to a national leader and one of Martin Luther King Jr.'s chief lieutenants. He helped plan the Selma-to-Montgomery march and walked shoulder-to-shoulder with Lewis across the Edmund Pettus Bridge on 'Bloody Sunday.'Williams played the role of enforcer in SCLC, always ready to deploy what he called his 'arsenal of agitation.' While his hard-charging tactics may have seemed out of step with the more diplomatic approach of other SCLC leaders, Rice suggests that it was precisely this contrast in styles that made the organization so successful. Rice also follows Williams's career after King's assassination, as Williams moved into local Atlanta politics. While his style made him loved by some and hated by others, readers will come to appreciate the central role that Williams played in the most successful nonviolent revolution in American history.Andrew Young Jr., former SCLC executive director, U.S. Congressman, U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations, and mayor of Atlanta, provides a foreword.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/566227Tue, 25 Jan 2022 09:25:07 +0000Jerod RusselPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/566227 to listen full audiobooks.

Drawing upon his debut novel, 'From 'Player to Poet,' and his years in private marriage and family counseling, Dr. Tiy-E now raises the bar, and zeros in on the definition of a 'PROFESSIONAL PLAYER,' and his responsibilities.  And because it takes one to know one, Dr. Tiy-E says 'I take complete ownership on the concept, usage, definition, and knowledge of the word Player in this book.'  In 'Notes,' the former radio and tv personality, explicitly addresses a wide range of topics from male sexual prowess (BDE too!) to the sometimes-taboo subject of male hygiene or, lack-there-of. It also includes much deeper, introspective chapters on self-image, and fatherhood, encouraging readers to take a deeper look at their true self versus their perceived self. In 'Notes,' Dr. Tiy-E lays out a CIA style of question and answer to guide readers to uncover their own truth by way of candid examples and uncensored storytelling. Delivering dating tips decade-by-decade, Dr. Tiy-E holds men accountable for the fundamentals all 'True Players' should adhere to — the foundation of which— is Love of self. From moments that tug at your heart, to his lifetime of lessons in manhood, Dr. Tiy-E is unwavering in his truth serum. And it Works!

Along with their mother, Mira, their aunt, and cousin Sergio, they were deported to Auschwitz. Over 230,000 children were deported to the camp, where Josef Mengele, the Angel of Death, performed deadly experiments on them. Only a few dozen children survived, Tati and Andra among them. Tati, Andra, and Sergio were separated from their mothers upon arrival. But Mira was determined to keep track of her girls. After being tattooed with their inmate numbers, she made them memorize her number and told them to “always remember your name.” In keeping this promise to their mother, the sisters were able to be reunited with their parents when WWII ended.

Surah At-Tin (Arab: التِّينِ, 'Tin') adalah surah ke-95 dalam al-Qur'an. Surah ini terdiri atas 8 ayat dan termasuk golongan surah Makkiyah. Surah ini diturunkan setelah surah Al-Buruj. Nama At-Tin diambil dari kata At-Tin yang terdapat pada ayat pertama surah ini yang artinya buah Tin. Surah At-Tin merupakan salah satu surah Makkiyyah, yaitu surah yang diturunkan di kota Mekkah atau sebelum Nabi Muhammad SAW hijrah ke Madinah. Surah ini terdiri dari delapan ayat dan berada pada Juz 30 dan surah ke-95 dalam susunan mushaf Al Qur'an. Surah ini merupakan wahyu ke-28 yang diterima oleh Nabi Muhammad SAW. Ia diturunkan sebelum surah Al-Buruj dan setelah Surah Quraisy. Tema pokok surah At-Tin adalah tentang manusia dan keniscayaan pembalasan dan ganjaran yang akan diterima di akhirat nanti. At-Tīn (The Fig) is the ninety-fifth surah of the Qur'an, with 8 ayat or verses. This sura opens by mentioning the fig (the sura’s namesake), the olive, Mount Sinai, and 'this city secured' (generally considered to be Mecca). The cosmology of the Qur'an states that God made mankind out of clay. This sura suggests not only this, but that the mould which God used for man was 'the best possible'. The lowness of the clay has set humanity apart from God; because clay is heavier and more solid than fire, from which the Jinn were made, and light, from which the angels came. However, not all humanity is condemned to absolute removal from God's company. The passage continues that 'those who believe and do what is right will have a reward that will never be cut off'. A human life, when perfected, will thus rise above its modest origins, giving the human condition a unique possibility for glory on the Last Day. God's judgment, for Heaven or Hell, cannot be contradicted, for 'Is not God the best of judges?']]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/567267Fri, 31 Dec 2021 09:25:07 +0000Jerod RusselPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/567267 to listen full audiobooks.

Title: Fortune Favors the Brave: An Extraordinary Memoir Author: Kiri Westby Narrator: Kiri Westby Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 9 hours 5 minutes Release date: December 28, 2021 Genres: History & Culture Publisher's Summary: From inside an interrogation session with the Chinese Secret Police, a young American activist recounts her path into global human rights work—exploring critical lessons on privilege and compassion in the context of war and extreme suffering. When I was arrested by the Chinese military for launching a historic Tibetan Freedom protest, I knew every trial and lesson had been worth it—even if it meant facing a life in prison. After a childhood infused with esoteric Buddhist teachings, I was forged into a global activist through years of witnessing and collaborating in the dissent of women on the front lines of war. From villages in Nepal, to refugee camps in the Democratic Republic of Congo, to the streets of Bogota, Colombia, my initiation into human rights activism was raw and transformative. The bravery of those women bolstered me in my darkest hours of interrogation and torture by the Chinese Police, and it guides me now to share my true story—no matter the repercussions. This is not a tale the Chinese government wants told. During my years working in war zones, I often wondered if I’d have the courage to stand up to tyranny, to lay my life on the line to confront undeniable persecution. In 2007—on the slopes of Mt.

Title: [Spanish] - Tiempo de magos: La gran década de la filosofía: 1919-1929 Author: Wolfram Eilenberger Narrator: Elsa Veiga Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 12 hours 17 minutes Release date: December 9, 2021 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 3 of Total 1 Genres: History & Culture Publisher's Summary: La historia de cómo cuatro genios revolucionaron la filosofía y cambiaron nuestra forma de entender el mundo. «Un libro que no tendrá parangón en mucho tiempo. Engancha como un thriller y ayuda más a la comprensión de nuestro presente que ningún estudio sociológico.» Micha Brumlik, Die Tageszeitung Estamos en 1919. La guerra acaba de terminar. «El doctor Benjamin huye de su padre, el subteniente Wittgenstein comete un suicidio económico, el profesor auxiliar Heidegger abandona la fe y monsieur Cassirer trabaja en el tranvía para inspirarse.» Comienza una década de creatividad excepcional que cambiará para siempre el rumbo de las ideas en Europa. Los años veinte del siglo XX en Alemania dieron forma a nuestro pensamiento contemporáneo, y son el verdadero origen de nuestra moderna relación con el mundo. Entenderlos significa, de alguna manera, entendernos. Ludwig Wittgenstein, Walter Benjamin, Ernst Cassirer y Martin Heidegger, cuatro gigantes de todos los tiempos, lideraron esta revolución y elevaron el alemán a lengua del espíritu. Fue en una Alemania dividida entre las ganas de vivir y el abismo de la crisis económica, entre la lujuria de las noches berlinesas, las conspiraciones de la República de Weimar y la amenaza del nacionalsocialismo, donde encontraron su voz y su estilo. En Tiempo de magos, la vida cotidiana y los dilemas metafísicos son parte de la misma historia. Con un espléndido estilo narrativo, Eilenberger traza conexiones entre los modos de vida y las teorías de estos cuatro filósofos seductores y brillantes, guiados por la necesidad de responder a las preguntas clave de la historia del pensamiento. Sus respuestas iluminan también los peligrosos tiempos que vivimos hoy. ** Finalista al mejor libro de ensayo 2019 concedido por la Asociación de Librerías de Madrid La crítica ha dicho: «Eilenberger narra los destinos entrelazados de cuatro de los pensadores más influyentes del siglo XX. Repleto de historias personales -y de erudición-, este libro nos enseña cómo lidiar con un momento de crisis, habilidad imprescindible que nunca hemos dejado de necesitar.» Anne Applebaum, premio Pulitzer y autora de Gulag, Hambruna roja y El telón de acero «Un recorrido fascinante por las vidas y el pensamiento de los filósofos más desafiantes del siglo XX: Benjamin, Cassirer, Wittgenstein y Heidegger. Un valioso libro lleno de historias e ideas entrelazadas con sutileza y agilidad.» Sarah Bakewell, autora de En el café de los existencialistas «Un tour de force. Hermosamente escrita, recuerda una buena novela por lo mucho que cuesta dejarla. Pero es más que una historia de filosofía de primera categoría: al unir las obras y las vidas de estos cuatro filósofos y establecer conexiones inesperadas entre sus más profundas preocupaciones, Eilenberger traza nuevos caminos para la propia filosofía. Un logro extraordinario.» Susan Neiman, autora de El Mal en el Pensamiento Moderno «Cuando el suelo tiembla bajo nuestros pies nos da por recordar. Sobre todo, qué hicimos la última vez que sucedió. Por eso se lee tan bien Tiempo de magos.» Darío Prieto, El Mundo (La esfera de papel) «De Cambridge a Davos, de Berlín a París, Tiempo de magos ofrece una narrativa novedosa, extremadamente tangible, de una época que dio forma a nuestro pensamiento como ninguna otra.» Hans Ulrich Gumbrecht «Aún quedan algunos libros que nos devuelven por unos días la fascinación de antaño. Este es uno de ellos. Si solo te queda dinero para un libro de filosofía, elige este.» Wolfgang Pichler, General-Anzeiger]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/562276Thu, 09 Dec 2021 09:25:07 +0000Jerod RusselPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/562276 to listen full audiobooks.

En Tiempo de magos, la vida cotidiana y los dilemas metafísicos son parte de la misma historia. Con un espléndido estilo narrativo, Eilenberger traza conexiones entre los modos de vida y las teorías de estos cuatro filósofos seductores y brillantes, guiados por la necesidad de responder a las preguntas clave de la historia del pensamiento. Sus respuestas iluminan también los peligrosos tiempos que vivimos hoy. ** Finalista al mejor libro de ensayo 2019 concedido por la Asociación de Librerías de Madrid La crítica ha dicho: «Eilenberger narra los destinos entrelazados de cuatro de los pensadores más influyentes del siglo XX. Repleto de historias personales -y de erudición-, este libro nos enseña cómo lidiar con un momento de crisis, habilidad imprescindible que nunca hemos dejado de necesitar.» Anne Applebaum, premio Pulitzer y autora de Gulag, Hambruna roja y El telón de acero «Un recorrido fascinante por las vidas y el pensamiento de los filósofos más desafiantes del siglo XX: Benjamin, Cassirer, Wittgenstein y Heidegger. Un valioso libro lleno de historias e ideas entrelazadas con sutileza y agilidad.» Sarah Bakewell, autora de En el café de los existencialistas «Un tour de force. Hermosamente escrita, recuerda una buena novela por lo mucho que cuesta dejarla. Pero es más que una historia de filosofía de primera categoría: al unir las obras y las vidas de estos cuatro filósofos y establecer conexiones inesperadas entre sus más profundas preocupaciones, Eilenberger traza nuevos caminos para la propia filosofía. Un logro extraordinario.» Susan Neiman, autora de El Mal en el Pensamiento Moderno «Cuando el suelo tiembla bajo nuestros pies nos da por recordar. Sobre todo, qué hicimos la última vez que sucedió. Por eso se lee tan bien Tiempo de magos.» Darío Prieto, El Mundo (La esfera de papel) «De Cambridge a Davos, de Berlín a París, Tiempo de magos ofrece una narrativa novedosa, extremadamente tangible, de una época que dio forma a nuestro pensamiento como ninguna otra.» Hans Ulrich Gumbrecht «Aún quedan algunos libros que nos devuelven por unos días la fascinación de antaño. Este es uno de ellos.

And although near-suicidal bravery won him the Military Cross (Sassoon was famously fictionalized in Pat Barker's Regeneration trilogy), his poetry shattered the ideals of wartime heroism. A gifted poet who refused to become part of any literary movement, his friendships ranged from Thomas Hardy and Robert Graves to the Sitwells, Rupert Brooke, and T.E. Lawrence.

Title: Freedom: How We Lose It and How We Fight Back Author: Nathan Law Narrator: Daniel York Loh Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 6 hours 59 minutes Release date: December 7, 2021 Genres: History & Culture Publisher's Summary: A timely manifesto on freedom from Hong Kong’s leading pro-democracy activist, Nathan Law, a Nobel Prize nominee In this dispatch from exile, Hong Kong political activist Nathan Law explores the meaning of freedom—and shows how easily freedoms can be eroded or dismantled. Freedom is fragile—it is not a given, and each generation must fight to protect it, whether in emerging democracies or in the Western world, where freedom is too often taken for granted. Law sets out to prove the value of what we take to be inherently bestowed upon us as human beings, and to expose the Chinese government as it barricades its citizens from enjoying freedom. He lays out how the government controls what people know and are allowed to think, suppresses the truth, and undermines democratic processes by censoring its own members. If freedom is a basic human right, then why were lawyers, journalists, and activists being jailed, and why has Nathan Law been labeled a wanted fugitive? Rooted in his own experience as a former elected official and student leader of the Umbrella Movement, Law explores not just how important freedom is in principle for human beings to thrive, but how it is put into practice. What does it mean to be able to speak freely, and what happens when the concept collapses? How can the law both protect and abolish our freedoms? And why should we place such importance on free and fair elections? What does it mean to be truly free? Nathan Law has worked tirelessly to apply pressure in order to reshape freedom in Hong Kong, because it is with freedom that we’ll live as we’re meant to be.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/577626Tue, 07 Dec 2021 09:25:07 +0000Jerod RusselPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/577626 to listen full audiobooks.

Stewart Narrator: Tim Getman Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 7 hours 59 minutes Release date: December 7, 2021 Genres: History & Culture Publisher's Summary: Set in Jazz Age San Diego against the backdrop of yellow journalism, notorious Hollywood scandals, Prohibition corruption, and a lively culture war, Mystery at the Blue Sea Cottage tells the intriguing true-crime story of a beautiful dancer, a playboy actor, and a debonair doctor. In January 1923, twenty-year-old Fritzie Mann left home for a remote cottage by the sea to meet a man whose identity she had revealed to no one. The next morning, the barely clad body of the beautiful and bewitching dancer washed up on lonely Torrey Pines beach, her party dress and possessions strewn about on the sand. The scene baffled investigators. Was it suicide, murder, or an accidental drowning? A botched autopsy created more questions than it answered. However, the investigation revealed a scandalous secret and, possibly, a powerful motive for murder. After a suspect was arrested and charged with murder, an ambitious district attorney battled a high-profile LA private counsel in the most sensational trial in San Diego’s history that was followed avidly across the nation.

Einstein is known for developing the theory of relativity, but he also made important contributions to the development of the theory of quantum mechanics. Relativity and quantum mechanics are together the two pillars of modern physics. His mass–energy equivalence formula E = mc2, which arises from relativity theory, has been dubbed 'the world's most famous equation'. His work is also known for its influence on the philosophy of science. He received the 1921 Nobel Prize in Physics 'for his services to theoretical physics, and especially for his discovery of the law of the photoelectric effect', a pivotal step in the development of quantum theory. His intellectual achievements and originality resulted in 'Einstein' becoming synonymous with 'genius'. - QUOTES SAMPLES “There are only two ways to live your life.

Jefferson (a.k.a. 'John-John') was a young child, his parents did something unprecedented for a working class African American family from Queens: They bought an old, dilapidated farmhouse in Upstate New York's dairy country as a summer home for them and their eight children. Initially fish out of water, over the next decade the Jefferson family became part of the landscape, the children eagerly anticipating those precious weeks of adventure in cow country. Echoes from the Farm is Dr. Jefferson's way of sharing the childhood memories from those years that have guided his interests throughout adulthood. Through those memories, he also shares a special part of his family's love and the love that was shown to them in a unique place in the American tapestry. He would not trade his childhood farm experiences for anything in the world. Journey with John-John as he reminisces about collecting apples for his mother's homemade apple sauce, jumping out of a barn window into piles of hay, and warring with one of his older brothers.

At the same time, she sees that activists from African nations and the global south are not being heard in the same way as activists from white nations are heard. Inspired by Sweden’s Greta Thunberg, in 2019 Nakate became Uganda’s first Fridays for Future protestor, awakening to her personal power and summoning within herself a commanding political voice.   Nakate’s mere presence has revealed rampant inequalities within the climate justice movement. In January 2020, while attending the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, as one of five international delegates, including Thunberg, Nakate’s image was cropped out of a photo by the Associated Press. The photo featured the four other activists, who were all white. It highlighted the call Nakate has been making all along: for both environmental and social justice on behalf of those who have been omitted from the climate discussion and who are now demanding to be heard.   From a shy little girl in Kampala to a leader on the world stage, A Bigger Picture is part rousing manifesto and part poignant memoir, and it presents a new vision for the climate movement based on resilience, sustainability, and genuine equity.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/566665Tue, 02 Nov 2021 09:25:07 +0000Jerod RusselPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/566665 to listen full audiobooks.

Title: On Assignment: Memoir of a National Geographic Filmmaker Author: James R. Larison Narrator: Traber Burns Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 9 hours 39 minutes Release date: November 2, 2021 Genres: History & Culture Publisher's Summary: An exciting adventure story with personal drama and high stakes, as well as a glimpse behind the scenes of the highly regarded National Geographic brand Jim and Elaine Larison spent years studying, exploring, and living in wild places, making more than thirty environmental films, most for the National Geographic Society. These films won more than forty international awards from leading environmental and broadcast organizations. This memoir tells the story behind the adventure and describes the rather substantial personal costs of this career. While shooting film in Alaska, Jim Larison narrowly survived a devastating airplane crash in the Bering Sea. Later, while filming on the Great Barrier Reef, the Larisons fought off an aggressive twelve-foot tiger shark. Midway through their careers, the Larisons were nearly swept to their deaths by an icefall while filming on Mount Robson. Full of risk and personal conflict, On Assignment is also a touching look at the tender bonds that held the married couple together while they struggled to complete their many film assignments. The Larisons were changed by what they saw and what they captured on film: the destruction of forests, the death of coral reefs, and global warming. In the beginning, the Larisons wanted nothing more than to spend time in the wilderness. By the end, they were fighting for its very survival.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/571596Tue, 02 Nov 2021 09:25:07 +0000Jerod RusselPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/571596 to listen full audiobooks.

Title: One-Legged Mongoose: Secrets, Legacies, and Coming of Age in 1950s New York Author: Marc J. Straus Narrator: Scott Wallace Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 7 hours 41 minutes Release date: September 14, 2021 Genres: History & Culture Publisher's Summary: It’s June 1953, and ten-year-old Marc Straus is in his mother’s car, getting sick from her cigarette smoke on his way to a Hebrew lesson. He and his younger brother, Stephen, are transferring from public school to a Yeshiva. His parents haven’t said why they’re transferring—the family isn’t religious. So all Marc knows is he’ll have to protect his brother. Stephen’s a delicate kid other kids pick on. Marc’s a street fighter who knows how to wall off the pain. So begins One-Legged Mongoose, Marc Straus’ vivid, compelling, you-are-there memoir of two years in the life of a precocious, scrappy Jewish kid carrying a dark secret as he embarks on the journey to young manhood in 1950s New York. When school starts, Marc begins commuting four hours daily to a different world, where kids are smart like him and fight with words instead of fists, and a caring principal takes the troubled truant under his wing. Marc works at his dad's textile store on Sundays, learning about honor and hard work from his immigrant father. At home, he faces his volatile mother. Straus encounters Anti-Semitism in public school, in the community, and even in the Boy Scouts. And it’s the Scouts that lend the book its title—a nod to a campfire story about a half-man, half-mongoose predator that’s almost the height of a full-grown man, and that Straus and the other boys of Troop 300 are tasked with locating. But, as Straus explains, “I was willing to face it. I know all about monsters.” Marc starts rethinking his risk-taking way of life, often sidelined by injuries to his eye, polio, and a near-fatal hit-and-run. A voracious reader, he looks to books for insights—What would Santiago do?—and comes to accept that he’s not invulnerable. Life will wound him, but the rest is up to him. An unflinching look at child abuse and one boy’s ability to rise above it, One-Legged Mongoose reminds us of the bonds between siblings and the power of family secrets.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/563709Tue, 14 Sep 2021 09:25:07 +0000Jerod RusselPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/563709 to listen full audiobooks.

When Melissa Gould’s husband, Joel, was unexpectedly hospitalized, she could not imagine how her life was about to change. Overwhelmed with uncertainty as Joel’s condition tragically worsened, she offered him the only thing she could: her love and devotion. Her dedication didn’t end with his death.

Title: The Bohemians: The Lovers Who Led Germany's Resistance Against the Nazis Author: Norman Ohler Narrator: Peter Ganim Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 11 hours 50 minutes Release date: July 14, 2020 Genres: History & Culture Publisher's Summary: “A detailed and meticulously researched tale… that reads like a thriller.”—New York Times Book Review From the New York Times best-selling author of Blitzed, the incredible true story of two idealistic young lovers who led the anti-Nazi resistance in the darkening heart of Berlin Summertime, 1935. On a lake near Berlin, a young man is out sailing when he glimpses a woman reclining in the prow of a passing boat. Their eyes meet—and one of history’s greatest conspiracies is born.   Harro Schulze-Boysen already had shed blood in the fight against Nazism by the time he and Libertas Haas-Heye began their whirlwind romance. She joined the cause, and soon the two lovers were leading a network of antifascist fighters that stretched across Berlin’s bohemian underworld. Harro himself infiltrated German intelligence and began funneling Nazi battle plans to the Allies, including the details of Hitler’s surprise attack on the Soviet Union. But nothing could prepare Harro and Libertas for the betrayals they would suffer in this war of secrets—a struggle in which friend could be indistinguishable from foe. Drawing on unpublished diaries, letters, and Gestapo files, Norman Ohler spins an unforgettable tale of love, heroism, and sacrifice in The Bohemians.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/569055Tue, 14 Jul 2020 09:25:07 +0000Jerod RusselPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/569055 to listen full audiobooks.

Title: Virginia Woolf: And the Women Who Shaped Her World Author: Gillian Gill Narrator: Nicola Barber Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 15 hours 11 minutes Release date: December 3, 2019 Genres: History & Culture Publisher's Summary: An insightful, witty look at Virginia Woolf through the lens of the extraordinary women closest to her. How did Adeline Virginia Stephen become the great writer Virginia Woolf? Acclaimed biographer Gillian Gill tells the stories of the women whose legacies—of strength, style, and creativity—shaped Woolf’s path to the radical writing that inspires so many today.    Gill casts back to Woolf’s French-Anglo-Indian maternal great-grandmother Thérèse de L’Etang, an outsider to English culture whose beauty passed powerfully down the female line; and to Woolf’s aunt Anne Thackeray Ritchie, who gave Woolf her first vision of a successful female writer.  Yet it was the women in her own family circle who had the most complex and lasting effect on Woolf.  Her mother, Julia, and sisters Stella, Laura, and Vanessa were all, like Woolf herself, but in markedly different ways, warped by the male-dominated household they lived in.  Finally, Gill shifts the lens onto the famous Bloomsbury group.  This, Gill convinces, is where Woolf called upon the legacy of the women who shaped her to transform a group of men--united in their love for one another and their disregard for women--into a society in which Woolf ultimately found her freedom and her voice.   Read by Nicola Barber-Nicola Barber’s voice can be heard on television shows and radio commercials, popular video games such as World of Warcraft, and even in talking toys. But her true passion lies in bringing to life the characters and scenes in novels, a talent for which she has received multiple Earphones and Audie Awards. Nicola is also an Audie nominee in the prestigious “Solo Female Narration” category for her work on Murphy’s Law (Rhys Bowen) and Call the Midwife (Jennifer Worth).]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/569003Tue, 03 Dec 2019 09:25:07 +0000Jerod RusselPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/569003 to listen full audiobooks.

Title: What We Will Become: A Mother, a Son, and a Journey of Transformation Author: Mimi Lemay Narrator: Mimi Lemay Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 12 hours 3 minutes Release date: November 12, 2019 Genres: History & Culture Publisher's Summary: A mother’s memoir of her transgender child’s odyssey, and her journey outside the boundaries of the faith and culture that shaped her. From the age of two-and-a-half, Jacob, born “Em,” adamantly told his family he was a boy. While his mother Mimi struggled to understand and come to terms with the fact that her child may be transgender, she experienced a sense of déjà vu—the journey to uncover the source of her child’s inner turmoil unearthed ghosts from Mimi’s past and her own struggle to live an authentic life.       Mimi was raised in an ultra-Orthodox Jewish family, every aspect of her life dictated by ancient rules and her role as a woman largely preordained from cradle to grave. As a young woman, Mimi wrestled with the demands of her faith and eventually made the painful decision to leave her religious community and the strict gender roles it upheld.   Having risen from the ashes of her former life, Mimi was prepared to help her son forge a new one — at a time when there was little consensus on how best to help young transgender children. Dual narratives of faith and motherhood weave together to form a heartfelt portrait of an unforgettable family. Brimming with love and courage, What We Will Become is a powerful testament to how painful events from the past can be redeemed to give us hope for the future.
