Title: A Better Tomorrow: Life Lessons in Hope and Strength Author: Mina Smallman Narrator: Sara Powell Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 7 hours 7 minutes Release date: July 25, 2024 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 3 of Total 1 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: Brought to you by Penguin. Mina Smallman has lived through the unimaginable. On Saturday 6 June 2020, her daughters, Bibaa Henry and Nicole Smallman, were killed in a park by a male stranger as they celebrated Bibaa's birthday. Mina has been fighting for justice ever since - for her daughters, and for the rest of us, by challenging the toxic culture in the Metropolitan Police and calling out the wider institutional misogyny, racism and classism in Britain. Now, she tells her story for the first time. Framed by Mina's experience of losing her two daughters, Bibaa and Nicole, A Better Tomorrow reflects on the lessons in strength, forgiveness and hope that life has taught her - from her difficult childhood, to her embrace of motherhood, her time as a schoolteacher, and then as the first woman of colour to be an Archdeacon in the Church of England. Told through grief and with compassion, humour and love, this deeply personal memoir is Mina's beacon of hope. 'I'd walk across hot coals to speak alongside Mina Smallman...

Title: The Our Island Stories: Country Walks through Colonial Britain Author: Corinne Fowler Narrator: Corinne Fowler Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 14 hours 14 minutes Release date: May 2, 2024 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: Brought to you by Penguin. The countryside is almost sacred to many Britons. There is a depth of feeling about rural places, the moors and lochs, valleys and mountains, cottages and country houses. Yet the British countryside, so integral to our national identity, is rarely seen as having anything to do with British colonialism. In Our Island Stories, historian Corinne Fowler brings rural life and colonial rule together with transformative results. Through ten country walks with varied companions, Fowler combines local and global history, connecting the Cotswolds to Calcutta, Dolgellau to Virginia, and Grasmere to Canton. Empire transformed rural lives: whether in Welsh sheep farms or Cornish copper mines, it offered both opportunity and exploitation. Fowler shows how the booming profits of overseas colonial activities directly contributed to enclosure, land clearances and dispossession. These histories, usually considered apart, continue to link the lives of their descendants now. To give an honest account, to offer both affection and criticism, is a matter of respect: we should not knowingly tell half a history. This new knowledge of our island stories, once gained, can only deepen Britons' relationship with their beloved landscape. ©2023 Corinne Fowler (P)2023 Penguin Audio]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/650622Thu, 02 May 2024 01:22:06 +0000Myrtle JerdePlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/650622 to listen full audiobooks.

Title: Rebellion: How Antiliberalism Is Tearing America Apart--Again Author: Robert Kagan Narrator: Jason Culp Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 5 hours 55 minutes Release date: April 30, 2024 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: A chilling and clear-eyed warning about the threats to our democracy posed by the increasing radicalization of the Republican Party, from a leading historian and intellectual The 2024 election could be the last free election held in a unified America. So warns Robert Kagan in this brilliant and terrifying analysis of the perilous state of democracy in the United States today. If Donald Trump loses the upcoming election, as he did in 2020, but refuses to accept the result, as he also did in the last election, he is likely to call on his millions of followers to repudiate the election results. It will be a short step from there to Republican-dominated states rejecting the legitimacy of the federal government and effectively seceding. The United States at that point will cease to be united, with grave consequences for both Americans and the world. In Rebellion, Kagan dives deeper than the op-eds and think pieces to explore the historical forces that have brought us to this moment—in particular the long history of opposition to liberalism, and to government, that has shaped America’s character from the time of the Revolution to today. Trump’s unique capacity to tap into that tradition of dissent and circumvent the American system has brought us to the edge of dissolution—not for the first time in our history but possibly the last. This is an elegant and deeply informed synthesis of history, contemporary politics, and ideas that sheds light on this crucial moment.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/652398Tue, 30 Apr 2024 01:22:06 +0000Myrtle JerdePlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/652398 to listen full audiobooks.

What if most radical activists are trying to change their lives by changing the whole country? When Jesse Watters set out to interview a few dozen radical activists to find out where their wild ideas came from, he discovered two things that shocked him: First, he liked these people. Second, their political positions were not primarily from books, teachers, or other activists. They originated in personal drama. Most of these people didn’t need legislation. They needed a therapist. In Get It Together, the number one New York Times bestselling author and Fox News primetime host takes on Wokeism in a way no one else has. Through a series of (sometimes very) personal interviews with some of the most radical activists in the country, Watters discovers that these activists may be overlooking the most important change they need to make—within themselves. From activists working for climate change salvation, Black supremacy, and social justice to a professional cuddler and a transwoman who identifies as a wolf, Watters shows how many well-intentioned Americans have bought into causes invented and run by people who are illogical, emotional, and ill-informed. Through their stories, Watters uncovers common threads—childhood traumas, broken relationships, and a lack of introspection. What if the people obsessed with the end of the world are just hurting from how this one has treated them? What if that, rather than ideological disagreements, is the deeper root of our country’s political divide? Funny, fresh, and fascinating, Get It Together is sure to spark important conversations, and to inspire us to see one another not as political opponents, but as real and broken human beings.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/657090Tue, 19 Mar 2024 01:22:06 +0000Myrtle JerdePlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/657090 to listen full audiobooks.

In the #1 New York Times bestseller So You Want To Talk About Race, Ijeoma Oluo offered a vital guide for how to talk about important issues of race and racism in society. In Mediocre: The Dangerous Legacy of White Male America, she discussed the ways in which white male supremacy has had an impact on our systems, our culture, and our lives throughout American history. But now that we better understand these systems of oppression, the question is this: What can we do about them? With Be A Revolution: How Everyday People are Fighting Oppression and Changing the World—and How You Can, Too, Oluo aims to show how people across America are working to create real positive change in our structures. Looking at many of our most powerful systems—like education, media, labor, health, housing, policing, and more—she highlights what people are doing to create change for intersectional racial equity. She also illustrates various ways in which the reader can find entryways into change in these same areas, or can bring some of this important work being done elsewhere to where they live. This book aims to not only be educational, but to inspire action and change. Oluo wishes to take our conversations on race and racism out of a place of pure pain and trauma, and into a place of loving action. Be A Revolution is both an urgent chronicle of this important moment in history, as well as an inspiring and restorative call for action.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/650871Tue, 30 Jan 2024 01:22:06 +0000Myrtle JerdePlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/650871 to listen full audiobooks.

Title: The Showman: Inside the Invasion That Shook the World and Made a Leader of Volodymyr Zelensky Author: Simon Shuster Narrator: Daniel Gamburg Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 14 hours 27 minutes Release date: January 23, 2024 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 5 of Total 3 Ratings of Narrator: 5 of Total 2 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: Acclaimed journalist Simon Shuster gives us the first inside account of the Russian invasion of Ukraine from the perspective of President Volodymyr Zelensky and his team, who granted him unprecedented access. Time correspondent Simon Shuster chronicles the life and wartime leadership of Volodymyr Zelensky from the dressing rooms of his variety show in Ukraine to the muddy trenches of his war with Russia. Based on four years of reporting; extensive travels with President Zelensky to the front; and dozens of interviews with him, his wife, his friends and enemies, his advisers, ministers and military commanders, The Showman tells an intimate and eye-opening story of the President’s evolution from a slapstick actor to a symbol of resilience, revealing how he managed to rally the world’s democracies behind his cause. The book’s early chapters offer the first detailed account of Zelensky’s life in a nuclear bunker in the opening weeks of the invasion and the circumstances of his wife’s escape to safety with their children. Later, as the Russians retreat from Kyiv, we see Zelensky and his team emerge from the bunker and lead Ukraine in a series of crucial victories. The result is a riveting, up-close picture of the invasion as experienced by its number one target and improbable hero.  Clear-eyed about the President’s early failures as a peacemaker and his willingness to silence political dissent, the book offers a complex picture of a man struggling to break what he sees as a historical cycle of oppression that began generations before he was born. Even as the war drags on, Zelensky lays out his vision for its future course and, through his actions, demonstrates his strategy for countering the Russians and keeping the West on his side. The Showman, as a work of eyewitness journalism, provides an essential perspective on the war defining our age. As a study in leadership and human resolve, its appeal is timeless and universal.  Supplemental enhancement PDF accompanies the audiobook.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/644144Tue, 23 Jan 2024 01:22:06 +0000Myrtle JerdePlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/644144 to listen full audiobooks.

North of Dallas, a conservative white family relocates to an affluent suburban enclave, but can’t escape the changes sweeping the country. On Chicago’s North Shore, a multiracial mom joins an ultraprogressive challenge to the town’s liberal status quo. In Compton, California, whose suburban roots are now barely recognizable, undocumented Hispanic parents place their gifted son’s future in the hands of educators at a remarkable elementary school. And outside Pittsburgh, a Black mother moves to the same street where author Benjamin Herold grew up, then confronts the destructive legacy left behind by white families like his. Disillusioned braids these human stories together with penetrating local and national history to reveal a vicious cycle undermining the dreams upon which American suburbia was built. For generations, upwardly mobile white families have extracted opportunity from the nation’s heavily subsidized suburbs, then moved on before the bills for maintenance and repair came due, leaving the mostly Black and Brown families who followed to clean up the ensuing mess. But now, sweeping demographic shifts and the dawning realization that endless expansion is no longer feasible are disrupting this pattern, forcing everyday families to confront a truth their communities were designed to avoid: The suburban lifestyle dream is a Ponzi scheme whose unraveling threatens us all. How do we come to terms with this troubled history? How do we build a future in which all children can thrive?  Drawing upon his decorated career as an education journalist, Herold explores these pressing debates with expertise and perspective. Then, alongside Bethany Smith—the mother from his old neighborhood, who contributes a powerful epilogue to the book—he offers a hopeful path toward renewal. The result is nothing short of a journalistic masterpiece.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/652358Tue, 23 Jan 2024 01:22:06 +0000Myrtle JerdePlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/652358 to listen full audiobooks.

In this deep and incisive study, General David Petraeus, the former CIA director who commanded the US-led coalitions in both Iraq and Afghanistan, and the prize-winning historian Andrew Roberts, explore over seventy years of conflict, drawing significant lessons and insights from their fresh analysis of the past. Petraeus and Roberts show how often critical mistakes have been repeated time and again, and explore the challenge, for statesmen and generals alike, of learning to adapt to various new weapon systems, theories and strategies. Among the conflicts examined are the Arab – Israeli wars, the Korean and Vietnam wars, the two Gulf wars, the Balkan wars in the former Yugoslavia, and both the Soviet and Coalition wars in Afghanistan, as well as guerrilla conflicts in Africa and South America. Conflict culminates with a bracing look at Putin’s disastrous invasion of Ukraine, yet another case study in the tragic results that occur when leaders refuse to learn from history, and an assessment of the nature of future warfare. Filled with sharp insight and the wisdom of experience, Conflict is not only a critical assessment of our recent past, but also an essential primer of modern warfare that provides crucial knowledge for waging battle today as well as for understanding what the decades ahead will bring.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/640012Tue, 17 Oct 2023 01:22:06 +0000Myrtle JerdePlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/640012 to listen full audiobooks.

He yearned to be ‘great’, to gain historical immortality. And he did so through deeds and words: his actions as a soldier and politician, gilded by his writings as a journalist and historian. But Churchill’s path to greatness was also defined by the leaders he encountered along the way – friends and foes, at home and abroad. Men of power such as Hitler and Mussolini, Roosevelt and Stalin, David Lloyd George, Neville Chamberlain and Charles de Gaulle. And the haunting presence of the adored father who had seen nothing of merit in his troublesome son. In these men Churchill discerned greatness, or its absence, in ways that influenced his own career. This book includes some whom Churchill would not have deemed ‘great’, but who – in our own day – offer alternative mirrors of what that word might mean. Mahatma Gandhi, who infuriated Churchill by exploiting the power of powerlessness. Clement Attlee, whose heretical vision of ‘Great Britain’ was socialist and post-imperial. And his darling Clementine, channelling her ‘pinko’ sentiments to become Winston’s essential helpmate and most devoted critic.

George Washington rescued the nation three times: first by leading the Continental Army to victory in the Revolutionary War, second by presiding over the Constitutional Convention that set the blueprint for the United States and ushering the Constitution through a fractious ratification process, and third by leading the nation as its first president. There is no doubt that the struggling new nation needed to be rescued—and that Washington was the only American who could bring them together. After the victorious War of Independence, when a spirit of unity and patriotism might have been expected, instead the nation fractured. The states were no more than a loosely knit and contentious confederation, with no strong central union. It was an urgent matter that led to the calling of a Constitutional Convention to meet in Philadelphia during the summer of 1787. Setting aside his plan to retire to Mount Vernon, Washington agreed to be a delegate at Philadelphia. There he was unanimously elected president of the convention. After successfully bringing the Constitution into being, Washington then sacrificed any hope of returning to private life by accepting the unanimous election to be the nation’s first president. Washington was not known for brilliant oratory or prose, but his quiet, steady leadership gave life to the Constitution by showing how it should be enacted. In this vivid and moving portrait of America’s early struggles, Baier captures the critical moments when Washington’s leadership brought the nation from the brink of collapse. Baier exposes an early America that is grittier and far more divided than is often portrayed—one we can see reflected in today’s conflicts.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/655139Tue, 10 Oct 2023 01:22:06 +0000Myrtle JerdePlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/655139 to listen full audiobooks.

An urgent follow-up to international bestseller How Democracies Die, by two world-leading experts on democracy In this razor-sharp analysis of one of the most important issues facing us today, leading Harvard professors Steven Levitsky and Daniel Ziblatt draw on their combined expertise of over 40 years to offer a dire warning about right-wing efforts to undermine multiracial democracy. Exploring the 2024 American election and the Capitol riots, as well as global examples from history including post-1945 Germany and Brazil and Chile during the '60s and '70s, the authors show how ossified political conventions can be pernicious enablers of minority rule, creating a situation in which partisan minorities can consistently thwart and even rule over popular majorities. With its urgent call for a radical reform of our antiquated institutions for the benefit of the majority, and a citizens' movement to put enough pressure on lawmakers to act before it's too late, Tyranny of the Minority is a must-read for every participant in the emerging democratic reform movement. ©2023 Daniel Ziblatt and Steven Levitsky (P)2023 Penguin Audio]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/640961Thu, 05 Oct 2023 01:22:06 +0000Myrtle JerdePlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/640961 to listen full audiobooks.

A monumental work of nonfiction that gives a first-row seat to the epic power struggle between politics, money, media, and tech—for fans of Maggie Haberman's Confidence Man and Jane Mayer's Dark Money. Marty Baron took charge of The Washington Post newsroom in 2013, after nearly a dozen years leading The Boston Globe. Just seven months into his new job, Baron received explosive news: Jeff Bezos, the founder of Amazon, would buy the Post, marking a sudden end to control by the venerated family that had presided over the paper for 80 years. Just over two years later, Donald Trump won the presidency. Now, the capital’s newspaper, owned by one of the world’s richest men, was tasked with reporting on a president who had campaigned against the press as the “lowest form of humanity.” Pressures on Baron and his colleagues were immense and unrelenting, having to meet the demands of their new owner while contending with a president who waged a war of unprecedented vitriol and vengeance against the media. In the face of Trump’s unceasing attacks, Baron steadfastly managed the Post’s newsroom. Their groundbreaking and award-winning coverage included stories about Trump’s purported charitable giving, misconduct by the Secret Service, and Roy Moore’s troubling sexual history. At the same time, Baron managed a restive staff during a period of rapidly changing societal dynamics around gender and race. In Collision of Power, Baron recounts this with the tenacity of a reporter and the sure hand of an experienced editor. The result is elegant and revelatory—an urgent exploration of the nature of power in the 21st century.

Title: The Last Colony: A Tale of Exile, Justice, and Courage Author: Philippe Sands Narrator: Philippe Sands, Adjoa Andoh Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 5 hours 44 minutes Release date: September 26, 2023 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: The moving, inspiring David-and-Goliath true story of freedom and justice involving one tiny nation in the Indian Ocean off the coast of Africa, and the extraordinary woman, a descendant of slaves, who dared to take on the Crown and the United Kingdom—and win a historic victory In 1973, on the Chagos Islands off the coast of Africa, Liseby Elyse—twenty years old, newly married and four months pregnant—was, rounded up, along with the entire population of Chagos, and ordered to pack her belongings and leave her beloved homeland by ship or slowly starve; the British had cut off all food supplies.     Some two thousand people who had lived on the islands of Chagos for generations, many the direct descendants of enslaved people brought there from Mozambique and Madagascar in the 18th century by the French and British, were deported overnight from their island paradise as the result of a secret decision by the British government to provide the United States with land to construct a military base in the Indian Ocean.     For four decades the government of Mauritius fought for the return of Chagos. Three decades into the battle, Philippe Sands became the lead lawyer in the case, designing its legal strategy and assembling a team of lawyers from Mauritius, Belgium, India, Ukraine, and the U.S.     When the case finally reached the World Court in the Hague, Sands chose as the star witness the diminutive Liseby Elyse, now sixty-five years old, and instructed her to appear before the court, speaking in Kreol, to tell the fourteen international judges her story of forced exile. The fate of Chagos rested on her testimony.     The judges faced a landmark decision: Would they rule that Britain illegally detached Chagos from Mauritius? Would Liseby Elyse sway the judges and open the door, allowing her and her fellow Chagossians to return home—or would they remain exiled forever?     Philippe Sands writes of his own journey into international law and that of the World Court in the Hague, and of the extraordinary decades-long quest of Liseby Elyse, and the people of Chagos, in their fight for justice and a free and fair return to the idyllic land of their birth. * This audiobook edition includes a downloadable PDF of accompanying maps from the book.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/652401Tue, 26 Sep 2023 01:22:06 +0000Myrtle JerdePlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/652401 to listen full audiobooks.

But those who use the same words do not always present the same meanings. Clarifying those meanings is the first step toward finding out what we agree on and disagree on. From there, it is largely a question of what the facts are. Social Justice Fallacies reveals how many things that are thought to be true simply cannot stand up to documented facts, which are often the opposite of what is widely believed. However attractive the social justice vision, the crucial question is whether the social justice agenda will get us to the fulfillment of that vision. History shows that the social justice agenda has often led in the opposite direction, sometimes with catastrophic consequences.  More things are involved besides simply mistakes. All human beings are fallible, and social justice advocates may not necessarily make any more mistakes than others.

From short, fat, bald John Adams' wig-throwing tantrums during the 1800 election to Abraham Lincoln's decision to grow a beard in 1860; from John F. Kennedy's choice to forgo the fedora at his inauguration to John Kerry's decision to get Botoxed for the 2004 race; from the Golden Age of Facial Hair (1860-1912) to the Age of the Banker (1912-1960); from Washington's false teeth to George W. Bush's workout regimen, Project President tells the story of America's love affair with presidential looks and appearance, why that often matters more than a politico's positions on the issues, and what might well be coming next. 'I'm constantly citing the power of dress. It's semiology: our clothes send a message about how we want to be perceived, and where is this more powerful and evident than in elected offices. In Project President, Ben Shapiro captures presidential semiotics with a potent narrative and deft analysis.  It's simultaneously fascinating and hilarious!' -Tim Gunn Project Runway, Liz Claiborne, Inc.   'Ben Shapiro takes a romp through American history and shows how personality--and even haircuts--have elected or defeated presidential candidates.  It's a tour through history that fans of both parties will enjoy-and can learn from.' -Michael Barone Resident scholar, American Enterprise Institute Senior Writer, U.S. News & World Report Co-author, The Almanac of American Politics   'Presidential politics has always been more superficial than we'd like to admit. With a stylish and likeable touch befitting a strong candidate, Ben Shapiro takes us deep into the shallowness that has shaped American history.' -Jonathan Alter Newsweek   'Shapiro deftly explains how height, hair and handsomeness can affect a candidate's campaign as much as issues. A fun, informative read.' -Glenn Beck Nationally syndicated talk show host Host of CNN's The Glenn Beck Show 'A hilarious and illuminating journey through America's centuries-long fascination with presidential image-making. Whether you're left, right, moderate or apathetic, this lively book will get you ready for the packaging of the '08 races.' -Jim Hightower 'This is a perceptive, witty-sometimes hilarious-look at the realities behind the faces and the facades, the slogans and the character assassinations, of each presidential campaign from George Washington to today - with much for us to ponder for tomorrow.' -Sir Martin Gilbert Official biographer of Winston Churchill  'An entertaining and illuminating romp through the politics of symbolism and personality in our presidential politics.

They're already here. This is the untold story about the silent, yet extremely dangerous threat from the Muslim establishment in America, an alarming exposé of how Muslims have for years been secretly infiltrating American society, government, and culture, pretending to be peace-loving and patriotic, while supporting violent jihad and working to turn America into an Islamic state. In this powder keg of a book, you'll learn: - How radical Muslims have penetrated the U.S. military, the FBI, the Homeland Security Department, and even the White House, where subversive Muslims and Arabs have received top-secret clearance. - How they've infiltrated the chaplains program in the federal and state prison systems, a top recruiting ground for al-Qaida. - How they've successfully run influence operations against our political system with the help of both Democrats and Republicans, badgering corporate boards into Islamizing the workplace. - How we've been utterly duped about what the Quran does and doesn't teach. Sadly, much of anti-Western terrorism is simply Islam in practice, the text of the Quran in action.   In a time when religious and political leaders are scrambling to smooth over differences in faith and beliefs, this book gives the terrifying truth about the very real, very deadly agenda of Islam and how it has already infiltrated key American institutions with agents, spies, and subversives.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/647016Tue, 19 Sep 2023 01:22:06 +0000Myrtle JerdePlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/647016 to listen full audiobooks.

Full of sharp insights, elegant writing and vivid characters.” —Andrew Roberts, author of The Chief Victor Sebestyen has written a sweeping, colorful and immersive history of the capital of Hungary, from the fifth century to the present day: a metropolis whose location in Europe has marked it as a crucial city—at times rich and prosperous, at times enduring unbearable hardship. It has stood at the center of the world-changing historical developments for hundreds of years: the Muslim invasion, The Reformation, both World Wars, fascism, the Holocaust and Communism. Sebestyen mixes colorful details and anecdotes about the people, streets and neighborhoods of his hometown with its rich cultural legacy of literature, music, and architecture. He shows how its people have shifted culturally, politically and emotionally between East and West, through many revolutions, bloody battles, uprisings, and wars of conquest won and lost. He vividly brings to life the many rulers: the ruthless early Magyar, Hun, and Mongol chieftains, celebrated medieval kings and princes, Ottoman Turks, and the Hapsburgs, including the beloved Empress Elisabeth (“Sisi”). We also learn about colorful figures in politics, the arts and the sciences, among them Theodor Herzl, father of modern political Zionism; film pioneer Alexander Korda who held court with the director of Casablanca, Michael Curtiz, young reporter Billy Wilder, and photographer Robert Capa in the glamorous New York Café still going today; Edward Teller, inventor of the H bomb; and Countess Elisabeth Báthory, a cousin of the King of Poland, who became a serial killer, among many others.

It Stops Here is the profound story of the spiritual, cultural, and political resurgence of a nation taking action to reclaim their lands, waters, law, and food systems in the face of colonization. In deeply moving testimony, it recounts the  intergenerational struggle of the Tsleil-Waututh Nation to overcome colonial harms and the powerful stance they have taken alongside allies and other Indigenous nations across Turtle Island against the development of the Trans Mountain Pipeline—a fossil fuel megaproject on their unceded territories. In a firsthand account of the resurgence told by Rueben George, one of the most prominent leaders of the widespread opposition to the Trans Mountain Pipeline expansion, It Stops Here reveals extraordinary insights and revelations from someone who has devoted more than a decade of his life to fighting the project. Rueben shares stories about his family’s deep ancestral connections to their unceded lands and waters, which are today more commonly known as Vancouver, British Columbia and the Burrard Inlet. He discloses how, following the systematic cultural genocide enacted by the colonial state, key leaders of his community, such as his grandfather, Chief Dan George, always taught the younger generations to be proud of who they were and to remember the importance of their connection to the inlet.

Title: Imperial Island: A History of Empire in Modern Britain Author: Charlotte Lydia Riley Narrator: Charlotte Lydia Riley Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 11 hours 31 minutes Release date: August 24, 2023 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: This riveting new history tells the story of Britain's journey from imperial power to a nation divided. After the Second World War, Britain's overseas empire disintegrated. But over the next seventy years, empire came to define Britain and its people as never before. From immigration and race riots to the Suez Crisis and the Falklands War, from the simplistic moral equation of Band Aid to the invasion of Iraq, the imperial mindset has dominated Britain's relationship with itself and the world. In the tragedy of Stephen Lawrence, in Britain's response to radical Islam, even in the opening ceremony of the 2012 Olympics, we see how this contradictory relationship has undermined its self-image as a multicultural nation, helping explain the Windrush deportations and Brexit. Drawing on a mass of new research, from personal letters to pop culture, Imperial Island tells a story of immigration and fractured identity, of social strife and communal solidarity, of people on the move and of a people wrestling with their past.

Winsome Earle-Sears sent shock waves across Virginia and the country at large when she pulled off her stunning upset victory in November 2021 and became the first woman lieutenant governor of Virginia and the first Black woman, the first naturalized female citizen, and first female veteran elected to statewide office. She earned intense national coverage because of her unwavering support for Second Amendment rights and her strong commitment to education opportunity for all students. Now in her memoir, How Sweet It Is, Winsome will tell her story and explain how she arrived at that historic moment in time.   A devout Christian, Winsome is also a true believer in the promise of the American Dream. Her father was approved to immigrate to the U.S.A. and left Jamaica, arriving in America on August 11, 1963, with only $1.75 in his pocket. Winsome joined him when she was just six years old, and ever since she has never ceased enthusiastically bucking conventions, defying expectations, and charging straight toward challenges.   Winsome’s remarkable story is one of faith and family, personal loss and perseverance, philanthropy and patriotism, service and sacrifice. But through it all, her Christian faith sustained her, drove her, and compelled her to give back to her community and her country. Her unyielding belief in the fundamental righteousness of America stands in stark opposition to the increasingly pervasive ideologies that are dividing the country. In How Sweet It Is, Winsome encourages Americans to never stop fighting for their country and shows them how to chart a new path forward.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/650356Tue, 22 Aug 2023 01:22:06 +0000Myrtle JerdePlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/650356 to listen full audiobooks.

Title: Kabul: The Untold Story of Biden's Fiasco and the American Warriors Who Fought to the End Author: Jerry Dunleavy, James Hasson Narrator: Maxwell Hamilton Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 11 hours 52 minutes Release date: August 15, 2023 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 3.25 of Total 4 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: This explosive national bestseller is the definitive account of the Biden administration's most disgraceful hour—and the chaos it unleashed in the world.​ America’s chaotic retreat from Afghanistan in 2021 was nothing short of a horror show. Women and children were trampled to death outside the gates of the Kabul airfield. Desperate Afghans fell from the landing gear of departing planes. Taliban fighters mercilessly whipped and humiliated U.S. civilians trying to access the few square miles still controlled by American forces. Countless Afghan interpreters were abandoned to the mercy of the Taliban after risking their lives alongside American troops for years. And thirteen U.S. service members—eleven of whom were still in preschool on 9/11—were murdered in an ISIS suicide bombing that could easily have been prevented.   Still, the full story is worse than anyone imagined. Drawing from hundreds of hours of first-person interviews, investigative reporter Jerry Dunleavy and former Army Captain and Afghanistan veteran James Hasson provide an exclusive, no-holds-barred account of the disastrous events of August 2021. Kabul is packed with shocking and infuriating exclusive details about fatal politics and bureaucracy that contributed to the catastrophe. The authors also tell, for the first time, inspiring stories of the bravery and sacrifices exhibited by countless Americans on the ground.   Kabul's original reporting includes eyewitness accounts from servicemembers of all ranks who participated the rescue effort, inside information from senior intelligence officials, interviews with high-ranking members of allied governments, harrowing stories from Americans and Afghan allies willfully abandoned by craven officials in Washington, and exclusive details about veteran-led rescue missions that continue to this day. Chapter after chapter, Kabul depicts American government at its worst and “ordinary” Americans at their best.   Ultimately, this book explains how Biden’s Afghanistan retreat spurred a dangerous new era that persist for decades.

Title: Kabul: The Untold Story of Biden's Fiasco and the American Warriors Who Fought to the End Author: Jerry Dunleavy, James Hasson Narrator: Maxwell Hamilton Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 11 hours 52 minutes Release date: August 15, 2023 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 3.25 of Total 4 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: This explosive national bestseller is the definitive account of the Biden administration's most disgraceful hour—and the chaos it unleashed in the world.​ America’s chaotic retreat from Afghanistan in 2021 was nothing short of a horror show. Women and children were trampled to death outside the gates of the Kabul airfield. Desperate Afghans fell from the landing gear of departing planes. Taliban fighters mercilessly whipped and humiliated U.S. civilians trying to access the few square miles still controlled by American forces. Countless Afghan interpreters were abandoned to the mercy of the Taliban after risking their lives alongside American troops for years. And thirteen U.S. service members—eleven of whom were still in preschool on 9/11—were murdered in an ISIS suicide bombing that could easily have been prevented.   Still, the full story is worse than anyone imagined. Drawing from hundreds of hours of first-person interviews, investigative reporter Jerry Dunleavy and former Army Captain and Afghanistan veteran James Hasson provide an exclusive, no-holds-barred account of the disastrous events of August 2021. Kabul is packed with shocking and infuriating exclusive details about fatal politics and bureaucracy that contributed to the catastrophe. The authors also tell, for the first time, inspiring stories of the bravery and sacrifices exhibited by countless Americans on the ground.   Kabul's original reporting includes eyewitness accounts from servicemembers of all ranks who participated the rescue effort, inside information from senior intelligence officials, interviews with high-ranking members of allied governments, harrowing stories from Americans and Afghan allies willfully abandoned by craven officials in Washington, and exclusive details about veteran-led rescue missions that continue to this day. Chapter after chapter, Kabul depicts American government at its worst and “ordinary” Americans at their best.   Ultimately, this book explains how Biden’s Afghanistan retreat spurred a dangerous new era that persist for decades. While Americans watched the fall of Afghanistan with disbelief, our nation’s enemies were also paying close attention.]]>185cleanfullhttps://www.spreaker.com/episode/the-injustice-of-place-uncovering-the-legacy-of-poverty-in-america-by-h-luke-shaefer-kathryn-j-edin-timothy-j-nelson--65205747https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/643312 to listen full audiobooks.

Nelson Narrator: Janina Edwards Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 9 hours 55 minutes Release date: August 8, 2023 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: A sweeping and surprising new understanding of extreme poverty in America from the authors of the acclaimed $2.00 a Day: Living on Almost Nothing in America.  “This book forces you to see American poverty in a whole new light.” (Matthew Desmond, author of Poverty, by America and Evicted)  Three of the nation’s top scholars ­– known for tackling key mysteries about poverty in America – turn their attention from the country’s poorest people to its poorest places. Based on a fresh, data-driven approach, they discover that America’s most disadvantaged communities are not the big cities that get the most notice. Instead, nearly all are rural. Little if any attention has been paid to these places or to the people who make their lives there. This revelation set in motion a five-year journey across Appalachia, the Cotton and Tobacco Belts of the Deep South, and South Texas. Immersing themselves in these communities, pouring over centuries of local history, attending parades and festivals, the authors trace the legacies of the deepest poverty in America—including inequalities shaping people’s health, livelihoods, and upward social mobility for families. Wrung dry by powerful forces and corrupt government officials, the “internal colonies” in these regions were exploited for their resources and then left to collapse.  The unfolding revelation in The Injustice of Place is not about what sets these places apart, but about what they have in common—a history of raw, intensive resource extraction and human exploitation. This history and its reverberations demand a reckoning and a commitment to wage a new War on Poverty, with the unrelenting focus on our nation’s places of deepest need.   Supplemental enhancement PDF accompanies the audiobook.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/643312Tue, 08 Aug 2023 01:22:06 +0000Myrtle JerdePlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/643312 to listen full audiobooks.

Title: Waiting to be Arrested at Night: A Uyghur Poet's Memoir of China's Genocide Author: Tahir Hamut Izgil Narrator: Greg Watanabe Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 7 hours 40 minutes Release date: August 3, 2023 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: Brought to you by Penguin. A poet's account of one of the world's most urgent humanitarian crises, and a harrowing tale of a family's escape from genocide One by one, Tahir Hamut Izgil's friends disappeared. The Chinese government's brutal persecution of the Uyghur people had continued for years, but in 2017 it assumed a terrifying new scale. The Uyghurs, a predominantly Muslim minority group in western China, were experiencing an echo of the worst horrors of the twentieth century, amplified by China's establishment of an all-seeing high-tech surveillance state. Over a million people have vanished into China's internment camps for Muslim minorities. Tahir, a prominent poet and intellectual, had been no stranger to persecution. After he attempted to travel abroad in 1996, police tortured him until he confessed to fabricated charges and sent him to a re-education through labour camp. But even having endured three years in the camp, he could never have predicted the Chinese government's radical solution to the Uyghur question two decades later. When he noticed that the park near his home was nearly empty because so many neighbours had been arrested, he knew the police would be coming for him any day. It soon became clear to Tahir and his wife that fleeing the country was the family's only hope. Waiting to Be Arrested at Night is the story of the political, social, and cultural destruction of Tahir Hamut Izgil's homeland. Among leading Uyghur intellectuals and writers, he is the only one known to have escaped China since the mass internments began. His book is a call for the world to awaken to the unfolding catastrophe, and a tribute to his friends and fellow Uyghurs whose voices have been silenced. ©2023 Tahir Hamut Izgil (P)2023 Penguin Audio]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/641318Thu, 03 Aug 2023 01:22:06 +0000Myrtle JerdePlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/641318 to listen full audiobooks.

But many of the existing proposals focus on expanding one relatively successful piece of the system or building in piecemeal additions. These proposals miss the point. As the Stanford health economist Liran Einav and the MIT economist and MacArthur Genius Amy Finkelstein argue, our health care system was never deliberately designed, but rather pieced together to deal with issues as they became politically relevant. The result is a sprawling yet arbitrary and inadequate mess. It has left 30 million Americans without formal insurance. Many of the rest live in constant danger of  losing their coverage if they lose their job, give birth, get older, get healthier, get richer, or move. It's time to tear it all down and rebuild, sensibly and deliberately. Marshaling original research, striking insights from American history, and comparative analysis of what works and what doesn’t from systems around the world, Einav and Finkelstein argue for automatic, basic, and free universal coverage for everyone, along with the option to buy additional, supplemental coverage. Their wholly original argument and comprehensive blueprint for an American universal health insurance system will surprise and provoke.

While the witness of the church before a watching world is diminished beyond recognition, congregations are torn apart over Donald Trump, Christian nationalism, racial injustice, sexual predation, disgraced leaders, and covered-up scandals. Left behind are millions of believers who counted on the church to be a place of belonging and hope. As greater and greater numbers of younger Americans bleed out from the church, even the most rooted evangelicals are wondering, “Can American Christianity survive?” In Losing Our Religion, Russell Moore calls his fellow evangelical Christians to conversion over culture wars, to truth over tribalism, to the gospel over politics, to integrity over influence, and to renewal over nostalgia. With both prophetic honesty and pastoral love, Moore offers a word of counsel for how a new generation of disillusioned and exhausted believers can find a path forward after the crisis and confusion of the last several years. Believing the gospel is too important to leave it to hucksters and grifters, he shows how a Christian can avoid both cynicism and complicity in order to imagine a different, hopeful vision for the church. The altar call of the old evangelical revivals was both a call to repentance and the offer of a new start. In the same way, this book invites unmoored and discouraged Christians to step out into an uncertain future, first by letting go of the kind of cultural, politicized, status quo Christianity that led us to this moment of reckoning. Only when we see how lost we are, we can find our way again. Only when we bury what’s dead can we experience life again. Only when we lose our religion can we be amazed by grace again.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/652133Tue, 25 Jul 2023 01:22:06 +0000Myrtle JerdePlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/652133 to listen full audiobooks.

She has twice won the Theakston Old Peculiar Crime Novel of the Year Award, and her 'Paddy Meehan' series has been adapted for BBC TV.

In these six episodes, she uncovers some of Scotland's most dramatic trials that continue to fascinate us years later. Also included is a bonus documentary, The Street Lawyer. The Paisley Snail - 1928. When May Donoghue pours ginger beer into her ice-cream float and a decomposed snail slithers out of the bottle, it sparks a case that will make legal history... Oscar Slater - Rich spinster Marion Gilchrist is brutally murdered in her Glasgow home in 1908. The hunt for her killer leads to Scotland's most dramatic miscarriage of justice: the Oscar Slater trial. The Douglas Cause - In this notorious 18th Century cause célèbre, two leading aristocratic families go head-to-head in a scandalous inheritance battle involving a secret elopement and stolen babies. The Moorov Doctrine - Glasgow, 1930, and a #MeToo-style case of sexual harassment in the workplace establishes one of the most important legal principles in Scottish law today. Madeleine Smith - In 1857, socialite Madeleine Smith is on trial for murder, accused of poisoning her French lover Emile L'Angelier. But did she do it, or not? Burke and Hare - Denise Mina looks at the notorious 19th Century murderers, talking to fellow authors Marisa Haetzman and Ian Rankin about the legalities of body snatching and the legacy of Burke and Hare's grim deeds. The Street Lawyer - Mina joins street lawyer Emmanuel De Abreu and sixth-formers from Glasgow's Lochend Community High School as they take on the roles of defence and prosecution to simulate a famous US murder case.

Title: You Will Own Nothing: Your War with a New Financial World Order and How to Fight Back Author: Carol Roth Narrator: Chris Henry Coffey Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 11 hours 0 minutes Release date: July 18, 2023 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 4.31 of Total 13 Ratings of Narrator: 4.8 of Total 5 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: The New York Times bestselling author and entrepreneur investigates what would happen if a new financial world order took hold, one in which global elites own everything and you own nothing—and yet you are somehow happy. When Carol Roth first heard that one of the World Economic Forum’s predictions for 2030 was “You will own nothing, and be happy,” she thought it was an outlandish fantasy. Then, she researched it. What she found was that a number of businesses, governments, and global elites share a vision of a future that sounds utopian: Everyone will have everything they need, and no one will own anything. From declines in home and vehicle ownership to global inflation and government spending, many of the trends of modern life reveal that a new world that is emerging—one in which Western citizens, by choice or by circumstance, increasingly do not own possessions or accumulate wealth. It’s the perfect economic environment for the rich and powerful to solidify their positions and prevent anyone else from getting ahead. In You Will Own Nothing¸ Roth reveals how the agendas of Wall Street, world governments, international organizations, socialist activists, and multinational corporations like Blackrock all work together to reduce the power of the dollar and prevent millions of Americans from taking control of their wealth. She shows why owning fewer assets makes you poorer and less free. This book is essential guide to protecting your hard-earned wealth for the coming generations.

Title: Filthy Rich Politicians: The Swamp Creatures, Latte Liberals, and Ruling-Class Elites Cashing in on America Author: Matt Lewis Narrator: Chris Abell Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 5 hours 47 minutes Release date: July 18, 2023 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: From one of America's sharpest conservative journalists is this searing, thought-provoking and hilarious takedown of the ruling class running amok in Washington. These are your elected officials. Some are slyly taking advantage of the system. They are hoping no one is savvy enough to notice. But Matt Lewis has. And this is what he’s learned. Today’s politicians are an unsavory lot—a hybrid of plutocrats and hypocrites. And it’s worse (and more laughable) than you can imagine. Lewis will introduce you to a crop of latte liberals, ivy league populists, insider traders, trust-fund babies, and swamp creatures as he exposes how truly ludicrous money in politics has gotten. In Filthy Rich Politicians, Lewis embarks on an investigative deep dive into the ridiculous state of modern American democracy—a system where the rich get elected and the elected get rich. One of the brightest conservative writers of his generation, Lewis doesn’t just complain: he articulates how Americans can achieve accountability from their elected leaders through radically commonsense reforms. But many of these ruling-class elites have a vested financial interest in rejecting the reforms so desperately needed to rebuild Americans’ trust in the institutions that once made our nation great. This is not an “eat the rich” kind of book, and it is not for those who want to stoke class warfare, topple the whole regime, and burn it all to the ground. This is a must-read book for thoughtful readers who yearn for transparency and will commit to holding their elected leaders accountable to those they are supposed to represent—we the people. The reforms spelled out in this book would incentivize good behavior in our leaders, stymie corruption, and prevent politicians from using the system (and our taxpayer dollars) to feather their filthy rich nests. It is only by taking these steps to reform the system that we can rebuild trust in our institutions and preserve American democracy for future generations. There really is no richer inheritance we could leave them.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/642693Tue, 18 Jul 2023 01:22:06 +0000Myrtle JerdePlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/642693 to listen full audiobooks.

However, THE BIDEN MALAISE will examine why such claims overlook important nuances that show President Biden’s blunders are ultimately far worse.  Our current president inherited a better situation along with the lessons of what not to do from Carter's governance. Biden, captive to an ascendent progressive wing of his party, doubled down on Carter’s mistakes and created crises that were as avoidable as they are now severe. From soaring energy prices and inflation to humiliating foreign policy errors, the Biden administration's political mess is self-imposed. His political handling of these fiascoes—like Carter—has only made his situation worse. Democrats risk a public backlash of the sort that opened the way to the Reagan Revolution. Award-winning and bestselling journalist Kim Strassel offers a formula for the GOP to capitalize from this mayhem; one that rekindles the bold and reformist approach of the 80s and 90s, an aspirational agenda that puts Americans back in control of their destiny on issues ranging from healthcare, to energy, to entitlements.

While the American meritocracy officially denounces prejudice based on race and gender, it has spawned a new form of bias against those with less education and income.  Millions of working-class Americans have their opportunity blocked by exclusionary snob zoning.  These government policies make housing unaffordable, frustrate the goals of the civil rights movement, and lock in inequality in our urban and suburban landscapes. Through moving accounts of families excluded from economic and social opportunity as they are hemmed in through “new redlining” that limits the type of housing that can be built, Richard Kahlenberg vividly illustrates why America has a housing crisis. He also illustrates why economic segregation matters since where you live affects access to transportation, employment opportunities, decent health care, and good schools. He shows that housing choice has been socially engineered to the benefit of the affluent, and, that astonishingly the most restrictive zoning is found in politically liberal cities where racial views are more progressive. Despite this there is hope.

Title: The New Fish: The Truth about Farmed Salmon and the Consequences We Can No Longer Ignore Series: Part of Patagonia Author: Kjetil Ostli, Simen Saetre Narrator: Erik Madsen Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 10 hours 6 minutes Release date: July 11, 2023 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 5 of Total 1 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: Eat more fish, the doctors say. But is the salmon you are consuming really healthy? In the early 1970s, a group of scientists researched how to make more food for the growing population of the world. They looked to the sea. They sampled genes from salmon in 41 Norwegian and Swedish rivers and designed a new salmon that was fatter and faster growing. This was considered an amazing innovation and was the beginning of a new industry: salmon farming.   The industry spread from coastal Norway to Scotland, Canada, Australia, Ireland, Chile, Iceland, the Faroe Islands, and the United States. Business boomed, jobs were created, and a new type of food, the farmed salmon, spread around the globe. People everywhere bought and enjoyed the abundant fish: grilled, poached, roasted, and as sushi and sashimi. They were grateful for this delicious, affordable protein.  But at what cost?    We now know that there were unintended consequences: some of these new fish escaped, competing for sustenance with other fish in the sea. The new fish spread diseases, salmon louse swarmed, and wild salmon stocks dwindled.   In a prizewinning five-year investigation, authors Simen Sætre and Kjetil Østli took an in-depth look at Norway’s role in the global salmon industry and, for the first time, produced a comprehensive evaluation of the detrimental effects of salmon farming. From lice to escapees, from concentrating the waste of sea pens in the fjords through which wild salmon swim to their natal streams to the fact that salmon farming causes a net reduction of protein reaped from the ocean, the results don’t look good. Recent victories, such as the banning of net-pen fish farms in the waters of Washington State, are an indication that we are awakening to the environmental price of engineered fish. It is said that we will continue to make the same mistakes unless we understand them. The New Fish combines nature writing from Norwegian fjords, the coast of Canada, Icelandic landscapes and the far south of Chile with character-driven literary non-fiction and classic muckraking. The authors started with this question: What happens when you create a new animal and place it in the sea?

A woman is caught with a Bible and publicly shot to death. An elderly priest is abducted and never seen again. Three buses full of students and teachers are struck by roadside bombs. These are not casualties of a war. These are Christian believers being persecuted for their faith in the twenty-first century. Many Americans do not understand that Christians today are victims in many parts of the world. Even many Western Christians, who worship and pray without fear of violent repercussions, are unaware that so many followers of Christ live under governments and among people who are often openly hostile to their faith. They think martyrdom became a rarity long ago. Persecuted soundly refutes these assumptions. This book offers a glimpse at the modern-day life of Christians worldwide, recounting the ongoing attacks that rarely make international headlines. As Western Christians pray for the future of Christ’s church, it is vital that they understand a large part of the world’s Christian believers live in danger. Persecuted gives documented accounts of the persecution of Christians in Africa, Asia, the Middle East, and former Soviet nations. It contains vivid stories of men and women who suffer abuse because of their faith in Jesus Christ, and tells of their perseverance and courage.. Persecuted is far more than a thorough and moving  study of this global pattern of violence—it is a cry for freedom and a call to action.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/647014Tue, 13 Jun 2023 01:22:06 +0000Myrtle JerdePlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/647014 to listen full audiobooks.

A woman is caught with a Bible and publicly shot to death. An elderly priest is abducted and never seen again. Three buses full of students and teachers are struck by roadside bombs.

Title: The Supermajority: How the Supreme Court Divided America Author: Michael Waldman Narrator: Robertson Dean Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 11 hours 15 minutes Release date: June 6, 2023 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: A “terrific, if chilling, account” (The Guardian) of how the Supreme Court’s new conservative supermajority is overturning decades of law and leading the country in a dangerous political direction. In The Supermajority, Michael Waldman explores the tumultuous 2021­­–2022 Supreme Court term. He draws deeply on history to examine other times the Court veered from the popular will, provoking controversy, and backlash. And he analyzes the most important new rulings and their implications for the law and for American society. Waldman asks: What can we do when the Supreme Court challenges the country? Over three days in June 2022, the conservative supermajority overturned the constitutional right to abortion, possibly opening the door to reconsider other major privacy rights, as Justice Clarence Thomas urged. The Court sharply limited the authority of the EPA, reducing the prospects for combatting climate change. It radically loosened curbs on guns amid an epidemic of mass shootings. It fully embraced legal theories such as “originalism” that will affect thousands of cases throughout the country. These major decisions—and the next wave to come—will have enormous ramifications for every American. It was the most turbulent term in memory—with the leak of the opinion overturning Roe v. Wade, the first Black woman justice sworn in, and the justices turning on each other in public, Waldman previews the 2022­–2023 term and how the brewing fights over the Supreme Court and its role that already have begun to reshape politics. The Supermajority is “a call to action as much as it is a history of the Supreme Court “ (Financial Times) at a time when the Court’s dysfunction—and the demand for reform—are at the center of public debate.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/644810Tue, 06 Jun 2023 01:22:06 +0000Myrtle JerdePlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/644810 to listen full audiobooks.

Yet something is going terribly wrong in the world economy. Creativity and faith in the future have been traded for a slippery slope of cautionary paranoia, popular despair, and political overreach by leaders who promise to hold back the tides, control the weather, and print prosperity with little clue as to what is actually going on. This divergence did not begin with the Obama administration, the Trump presidency, the Gates Foundation, or George Soros, says leading futurist George Gilder. The cognitive dissonance and its harvest of confusion and despair reflects a deep misunderstanding at the heart of capitalism itself. In Life After Capitalism, national bestselling author George Gilder explains how economics is not an incentive system but an information system. Redefining capitalism for the modern age, he reveals how free enterprise is a mind driven system, material resources are essentially as infinite as atoms, and what governs economic growth is human creativity—not merely a Marxist class struggle for power.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/646278Tue, 30 May 2023 01:22:06 +0000Myrtle JerdePlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/646278 to listen full audiobooks.

By the end of Luckerson’s outstanding book, the idea of building something new from the ashes of what has been destroyed becomes comprehensible, even hopeful.”—Marcia Chatelain, The New York Times WINNER: The Dayton Literary Peace Prize; The MAAH Stone Book Award; The SABEW Best in Business Book Award; The Lillian Smith Book Award; The Oklahoma Historical Society’s E. E. Dale Award FINALIST: The Hurston/Wright Legacy Award A NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW AND WASHINGTON POST BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR When Ed Goodwin moved with his parents to the Greenwood neighborhood in Tulsa, Oklahoma, his family joined a community soon to become the center of black life in the West. But just a few years later, on May 31, 1921, the teenaged Ed hid in a bathtub as a white mob descended on his neighborhood, laying waste to thirty-five blocks and murdering as many as three hundred people in one of the worst acts of racist violence in U.S. history. The Goodwins and their neighbors soon rebuilt the district into “a Mecca,” in Ed’s words, where nightlife thrived and small businesses flourished. Ed bought a newspaper to chronicle Greenwood’s resurgence and battles against white bigotry, and his son Jim, an attorney, embodied the family’s hopes for the civil rights movement. But by the 1970s urban renewal policies had nearly emptied the neighborhood. Today the newspaper remains, and Ed’s granddaughter Regina represents the neighborhood in the Oklahoma state legislature, working alongside a new generation of local activists to revive it once again.  In Built from the Fire, journalist Victor Luckerson tells the true story behind a potent national symbol of success and solidarity and weaves an epic tale about a neighborhood that refused, more than once, to be erased.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/639061Tue, 23 May 2023 01:22:06 +0000Myrtle JerdePlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/639061 to listen full audiobooks.

Title: Cracked: The Future of Dams in a Hot, Chaotic World Author: Steven Hawley Narrator: Steven Hawley, Danny Campbell Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 9 hours 14 minutes Release date: May 2, 2023 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: The ugly truth about dams is about to be revealed. During the first two decades of the twenty-first century, the whole messy truth about the legacy of last century’s big dam building binge has come to light. What started out as an arguably good government project has drifted oceans away from that original virtuous intent. Governments plugged the nation’s rivers in a misguided attempt to turn them into revenue streams. Water control projects’ main legacy will be one of needless ecological destruction, fostering a host of unnecessary injustices. The estimated 800,000 dams in the world can’t be blamed for destroying the earth’s entire biological inheritance, but they play an outsized role in that destruction. Cracked: The Future of Dams in a Hot, Crazy World is a kind of speed date with the history of water control -- its dams, diversions and canals, and just as importantly, the politics and power that evolved with them. Examples from the American West reveal that the costs of building and maintaining a sprawling water storage and delivery complex in an arid world—growing increasingly arid under the ravages of climate chaos—is well beyond the benefits furnished. Success stories from Patagonia and the Blue Heart of Europe point to a possible future where rivers run free and the earth restores itself. * This audiobook edition contains a downloadable PDF that includes definitions and illustrations from the book.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/644790Tue, 02 May 2023 01:22:06 +0000Myrtle JerdePlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/644790 to listen full audiobooks.

Title: Journey without End: Migration from the Global South through the Americas Author: Andrew Nelson, Rob Curran Narrator: Zac Aleman Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 8 hours 11 minutes Release date: May 2, 2023 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: Journey without End chronicles the years-long journey of 'extracontinentales'—African and South Asian migrants moving through Latin America, toward the United States. Based on five years of collaborative research between a journalist and an anthropologist, this book makes a narrative-driven critique of how state-level immigration policy fails extracontinental migrants. The book begins with Kidane, an Eritrean migrant who has left his pregnant wife behind to make the four-year trip to North America; it then picks up the natural disaster–riddled voyage of Roshan and Kamala Dhakal from Nepal, to Ecuador; and it continues to the trials of Cameroonian exile Jane Mtebe, who becomes trapped in a bizarre beachside resort town on the edge of the Darién Gap—the gateway from South to Central America. This book follows these migrants as their fitful voyages put them in a semi-permanent state of legal and existential liminality. Mercurial policy creates profit opportunities that transform migration bottlenecks—Quito's tourist district, a Colombian beachside resort, Panama's Darién Gap, and a Mexican border town—into spontaneous migration-oriented spaces rife with racial, gender, and class exploitation. Throughout this struggle, migrant solidarity allows for occasional glimpses of subaltern cosmopolitanism and the possibility of mobile futures.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/646318Tue, 02 May 2023 01:22:06 +0000Myrtle JerdePlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/646318 to listen full audiobooks.

So a remarkable group of practitioners and scholars from many backgrounds came together determined to discover and learn lessons from this latest world war.    Lessons from the Covid War is plain-spoken and clear sighted. It cuts through the enormous jumble of information to make some sense of it all and answer:  What just happened to us, and why?  And crucially, how, next time, could we do better? Because there will be a next time.   The Covid war showed Americans that their wondrous scientific knowledge had run far ahead of their organized ability to apply it in practice. Improvising to fight this war, many Americans displayed ingenuity and dedication. But they struggled with systems that made success difficult and failure easy.    This book shows how Americans can come together, learn hard truths, build on what worked, and prepare for global emergencies to come.   A joint effort from: Danielle Allen • John M.

Doyle Narrator: Paul Heitsch Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 10 hours 45 minutes Release date: April 25, 2023 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: An urgent examination of the world barreling toward a new Cold War. With a historian's eye and a theorist's ingenuity, Michael Doyle, whose writings on liberal peace have revolutionized modern statesmanship, cogently assesses the tectonic shifts threatening a global order that has held for more than seventy years. As tensions among China, Russia, and the US escalate perilously toward a new Cold War, Doyle introduces a radical paradigm that will facilitate the international cooperation necessary to avert the global threats of our time. Combining dramatic history with trenchant analysis and landmark theory, Doyle explores the impacts of cyberwarfare, foreign election meddling, and the unprecedented schism of modern politics on American foreign policy. He demonstrates that there can be no success in addressing climate change without China's cooperation, nor any hope of averting nuclear catastrophe without Russia's.

While acknowledging that the study of liberty and slavery in the Revolutionary era remains a 'partisan minefield,' Mr. Larson plunges in, sparing none of the era's most prominent revolutionaries from scrutiny.' —Harold Holzer, Wall Street Journal New attention from historians and journalists is raising pointed questions about the founding period: was the American revolution waged to preserve slavery, and was the Constitution a pact with slavery or a landmark in the antislavery movement? Leaders of the founding who called for American liberty are scrutinized for enslaving Black people themselves: George Washington consistently refused to recognize the freedom of those who escaped his Mount Vernon plantation. And we have long needed a history of the founding that fully includes Black Americans in the revolutionary protests, the war, and the debates over slavery and freedom that followed.

Three Wall Street firms have quietly amassed more money than Jeff Bezos, Elon Musk, Andrew Carnegie, and John Rockefeller combined. But the money isn’t even theirs. These asset managers have accumulated all their power through “passive funds,” as most investors no longer believe anyone can reliably pick stocks. Yet the Big Three have decided that they can reliably pick the right social policies instead. As entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy reveals, the results are all bad—and working their way into every corner of the economy. They force US companies to adopt “racial equity audits” and “emissions caps” while supporting human rights atrocities in China. They coerce Western companies to produce less oil while shifting production to dirtier places like Russia. They allow companies like FTX to take victory laps on good management while collapsing like a house of cards. They charge high fees to mom-and-pop investors for so-called sustainable funds that are effectively identical to lower-fee index funds. Worst of all, they’re celebrated as heroes—at least so far. Capitalist Punishment lifts the veil on the largest fiduciary breaches, antitrust abuses, and First Amendment violations of the twenty-first century, misdeeds that are hiding in plain sight. This isn’t just a threat to capitalism. It’s a threat to democratic self-governance itself. Capitalist Punishment is an easy-to-follow educational tour de force for every participant in financial markets—which, to the surprise of most Americans, includes nearly every single one of them.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/656525Tue, 25 Apr 2023 01:22:06 +0000Myrtle JerdePlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/656525 to listen full audiobooks.

Title: Drugs and the FDA: Safety, Efficacy, and the Public's Trust Author: Mikkael A. Sekeres Narrator: Mike Lenz Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 8 hours 40 minutes Release date: April 11, 2023 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: Food and Drug Administration approval for COVID-19 vaccines and the controversial Alzheimer's drug Aduhelm made headlines, but few of us know much about how the agency does its work. Why is the FDA the ultimate United States authority on a drug's safety and efficacy? In Drugs and the FDA, Mikkael Sekeres—a leading oncologist and former chair of the FDA's cancer drug advisory committee—tells the story of how the FDA became the most trusted regulatory agency in the world. It took a series of tragedies and health crises, as well as patient advocacy, for the government to take responsibility for ensuring the efficacy and safety of drugs and medical devices. Before the FDA existed, drug makers could hawk any potion, claim treatment of any ailment, and make any promise on a label. But then, throughout the twentieth century, the government was forced to take action when children were poisoned by contaminated diphtheria and smallpox vaccines, an early antibiotic contained antifreeze, a drug prescribed for morning sickness in pregnancy caused babies to be born disfigured, and access to AIDS drugs was limited to a few clinical trials while thousands died. Sekeres describes all these events against the backdrop of the contentious 2011 hearings on the breast cancer drug Avastin, in which he participated as a panel member.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/649571Tue, 11 Apr 2023 01:22:06 +0000Myrtle JerdePlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/649571 to listen full audiobooks.

Robinson Narrator: Adam Barr Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 9 hours 43 minutes Release date: April 11, 2023 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: As increasingly contentious politics in the United States raise concerns over the 'politicization' of traditionally non-partisan institutions, many have turned their attention to how the American military has been—and will be—affected by this trend. Since a low point following the end of the Vietnam War, the US military has experienced a dramatic reversal of public opinion, becoming one of the most trusted institutions in American society. However, this trend is more complicated than it appears: just as individuals have become fonder of their military, they have also become increasingly polarized from one another along partisan lines. The result is a new political environment rife with challenges to traditional civil-military norms. Michael A. Robinson studies the sources and potential limits of American trust in the armed services, focusing on the interplay of the public, political parties, media outlets, and the military itself on the prospect of politicization and its associated challenges. As democratic institutions face persistent pressure worldwide, Dangerous Instrument provides important insights into the contemporary arc of American civil-military affairs and delivers recommendations on ways to preserve a non-partisan military.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/653296Tue, 11 Apr 2023 01:22:06 +0000Myrtle JerdePlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/653296 to listen full audiobooks.

Title: China's Law of the Sea: The New Rules of Maritime Order Author: Isaac B. Kardon Narrator: Chris Monteiro Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 12 hours 0 minutes Release date: March 28, 2023 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: China's Law of the Sea is the first comprehensive study of the law and geopolitics of China's maritime disputes. It provides a rigorous empirical account of whether and how China is changing 'the rules' of international order—specifically, the international law of the sea. Conflicts over specific rules lie at the heart of the disputes, which are about much more than sovereignty over islands and rocks in the South and East China Seas. Instead, the main contests concern the strategic maritime space associated with those islands. To consolidate control over this vital maritime space, China's leaders have begun to implement 'China's law of the sea': building domestic legal institutions, bureaucratic organizations, and a naval and maritime law enforcement apparatus to establish China's preferred maritime rules on the water and in the diplomatic arena. Isaac B. Kardon examines China's laws and policies to defend, exploit, study, administer, surveil, and patrol disputed waters. He also considers other claimants' reactions to these Chinese practices, because other states must acquiesce for China's preferences to become international rules.

No one is better suited to make this case than Chemerinsky. He has studied, taught, and practiced constitutional law for thirty years and has argued before the Supreme Court.

Title: Laboratories of Terror: The Final Act of Stalin's Great Purge in Soviet Ukraine Author: Lynne Viola Narrator: Christina Delaine Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 8 hours 13 minutes Release date: March 28, 2023 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 5 of Total 1 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: Laboratories of Terror explores the final chapter of Stalin's Great Terror in Soviet Ukraine. When the Communist Party Central Committee and the Council of People's Commissars of the USSR halted mass operations in repression in November 1938, large numbers of mainly Communist purge victims whose cases remained incomplete were released. At the same time, hundreds of NKVD operatives who had carried out the Great Terror were scapegoated and arrested. Drawing on materials from the largely closed archives of the Soviet security police, this collection of essays by an international team of researchers illuminates the previously opaque world of the NKVD perpetrator. It uncovers the mechanics and logistics of the terror at the local level by examining the criminal files of a series of mid-level NKVD operatives from across Ukraine.

When the Communist Party Central Committee and the Council of People's Commissars of the USSR halted mass operations in repression in November 1938, large numbers of mainly Communist purge victims whose cases remained incomplete were released. At the same time, hundreds of NKVD operatives who had carried out the Great Terror were scapegoated and arrested.

Title: This Contested Land: The Storied Past and Uncertain Future of America’s National Monuments Author: Mckenzie Long Narrator: Mckenzie Long Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 7 hours 38 minutes Release date: March 28, 2023 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: One woman's enlightening trek through the natural histories, cultural stories, and present perils of thirteen national monuments Starting amid the sagebrush of Bears Ears National Monument on the eve of the Trump Administration's decision to reduce the site by eighty-five percent, McKenzie Long climbs sandstone cliffs, is awed by Ancestral Pueblo cliff dwellings, and is intrigued by 4,000-year-old petroglyphs. She hikes through remote pink canyons recently removed from the boundary of Grand Staircase–Escalante, skis to a backcountry hut in Maine to view a truly dark night sky, snorkels in warm Hawaiian waters to plumb the meaning of marine preserves, volunteers near the most contaminated nuclear site in the US, and witnesses firsthand the diverse forms of devotion evoked by the Rio Grande. In essays both contemplative and resonant, this book confronts an unjust past and imagines a collaborative future that bears witness to these regions' enduring Indigenous connections. From climate change realities to volatile tensions between economic development and environmental conservation, practical and philosophical issues arise as Long seeks the complicated and often overlooked stories of these incomparable places. Her journey emphasizes in clear and urgent terms the unique significance of, and grave threats to, these contested lands.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/657286Tue, 28 Mar 2023 01:22:06 +0000Myrtle JerdePlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/657286 to listen full audiobooks.

Title: The Insider: How the Kiplinger Newsletter Bridged Washington and Wall Street Author: Rob Wells Narrator: Jonathan Todd Ross Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 10 hours 22 minutes Release date: March 28, 2023 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: When Willard M. Kiplinger launched the groundbreaking Kiplinger Washington Letter in 1923, he left the sidelines of traditional journalism to strike out on his own. With a specialized knowledge of finance and close connections to top Washington officials, Kiplinger was uniquely positioned to tell deeper truths about the intersections between government and business. With careful reporting and insider access, he delivered perceptive analysis and forecasts of business, economic, and political news to busy business executives, and the newsletter's readership grew exponentially over the coming decades. More than just a pioneering business journalist, Kiplinger emerged as a quiet but powerful link between the worlds of Presidents Hoover and Roosevelt, and used his Letter to play a little-known but influential role in the New Deal. Part journalism history, part biography, and part democratic chronicle, The Insider offers a well-written and deeply researched portrayal of how Kiplinger not only developed a widely read newsletter that launched a business publishing empire but also how he forged a new role for the journalist as political actor.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/657293Tue, 28 Mar 2023 01:22:06 +0000Myrtle JerdePlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/657293 to listen full audiobooks.

Title: Awakening to China's Rise: European Foreign and Security Policies toward the People's Republic of China Author: Hugo Meijer Narrator: Nigel Patterson Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 9 hours 28 minutes Release date: March 21, 2023 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: Awakening to China's Rise provides the most comprehensive analysis to date of how Europe's major powers have responded to the re-emergence of China as a great power in world politics since the end of the Cold War. To do so, it puts forward a unique cross-regional comparison of how the major European powers (France, Germany, and the United Kingdom) have confronted Chinese assertiveness both in the Asia-Pacific and in Europe. Firstly, it analyzes their response to China's increasingly muscular regional posture in the Asia-Pacific through the development of diplomatic and security initiatives with partners in the region. Secondly, it delineates how they have confronted China's inroads into Europe, looking at the measures that they have taken to tackle Chinese investments in, and supply of, technologies in strategic sectors such as critical national infrastructures, dual-use technologies, and in the digital domain, including Huawei's 5G networks. A longstanding assumption in the IR literature has been that European foreign policies toward the People's Republic of China have been driven by a 'naïve' and self-interested focus on the economic opportunities presented by such a vast market, overlooking security considerations. This book challenges this belief through a detailed examination of the policies of France, Germany, and the United Kingdom from 1989 to the present.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/643265Tue, 21 Mar 2023 01:22:06 +0000Myrtle JerdePlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/643265 to listen full audiobooks.

Title: Xi Jinping: The Most Powerful Man in the World Author: Stefan Aust, Adrian Geiges Narrator: Peter Noble Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 8 hours 44 minutes Release date: March 21, 2023 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: If China seems unstoppable, so too does its leader Xi Jinping. As general secretary of the Chinese Communist Party and president of China, he commands over 1.4 billion people, in a vast country that spans the prosperous megacities of Beijing and Shanghai and desperately poor rural regions where families still struggle with malnutrition. Today, Xi Jinping faces a series of monumental challenges that would make other global leaders tremble: a trade war with the USA, political unrest in Hong Kong, accusations of genocide in Xinjiang, stuttering economic growth, and a devastating global pandemic that originated inside China. But who is Xi Jinping and what does he really want? To rejuvenate China and bring economic prosperity to all its people? To challenge American supremacy and turn China into the world's dominant power? Avoiding both sycophantic flattery and outright condemnation, this new biography by Stefan Aust and Adrian Geiges gets inside the head of one of the world's most mysterious leaders. Skillfully unraveling the hidden story of Xi Jinping's life and career, from his early childhood to his rise to the pinnacles of the Party and the State, they flesh out his views and uncover how he became the most powerful man in the world.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/655924Tue, 21 Mar 2023 01:22:06 +0000Myrtle JerdePlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/655924 to listen full audiobooks.

Title: Moderate Conservatism: Reclaiming the Center Author: John Kekes Narrator: Ian M. Hawkins Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 8 hours 53 minutes Release date: March 21, 2023 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: Moderate Conservatism: Reclaiming the Center by John Kekes is a response to attacks on the United States' 300-year-old constitutional democracy by extremists on the left and the right. It makes a reasoned case for moderation and the defense of a political system that has endured because it has balanced the often-conflicting claims of justice, liberty, equality, prosperity, and security. That balance is now threatened by extremists who ignore all else but their grievances. They are blind to the destructive consequences of their attacks on the conditions on which the well-being of all Americans, including their own, depends. The aim of Moderate Conservatism is to protect the United States' political system. It is a defense of what Americans have and are in danger of losing. Central to it is the rarely conscious patriotism of many millions of citizens who live private lives, earn a living, raise a family, and rely on the political system to protect the conditions in which they can continue to do so. They sustain life as Americans know it. And that life is now threatened by the destructive attacks of extremists.

Jain Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 16 hours 16 minutes Release date: March 14, 2023 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: After theorists around 1960 proclaimed the 'death of ideology,' ideological divides and clashes have reemerged with renewed intensity throughout the world. In the United States they have become particularly venomous. Each side in America's escalating ideological civil war charges the other with concocting 'fake news' and 'alternative facts.' The other side is widely viewed as malicious, irrational, or downright stupid, and, often, as barely legitimate. The zeal of the opposing sides is often scarcely less than that which characterized the religious ideologies of old. Indeed, historical religious ideologies have largely been replaced by 'secular religions' or 'religion substitutes.' Ideology consists of normative prescriptions regarding how society should be shaped, together with an interpretive roadmap indicating how this normative vision can be implemented in reality. Ideological Fixation is the result of tensions and conflicts between these two elements. The book focuses on ideologies' factual claims about the world, typically subordinate to, and often distorted by, their normative commitment. In exploring this phenomenon, the book combines insights from evolutionary psychology regarding the nature of some of our deepest proclivities with a broad sweep through history and around the world.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/646632Tue, 14 Mar 2023 01:22:06 +0000Myrtle JerdePlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/646632 to listen full audiobooks.

But the multibillion-dollar Ring of Fire was all but abandoned when stakeholders failed to reach a consensus on how to develop the cache despite years of negotiations and hundreds of millions of dollars in spending. Now plans for an all-weather road to connect the region to the highway network are reigniting the fireworks. In this colorful tale, Virginia Heffernan draws on her bush and newsroom experiences to illustrate the complexities of resource development at a time when Indigenous rights are becoming enshrined globally.

Johnson Narrator: Jonathan Todd Ross Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 8 hours 31 minutes Release date: March 14, 2023 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: The United States, through its local, state, and national contests, holds more elections, more often, than any democracy in the world. But in recent years, there have been troubling signs that our system of campaigns and elections has become much more fragile and vulnerable. More specifically, in the past twenty years, campaigns have changed profoundly: social media and viral messaging compete with traditional media, races once considered local in nature have become nationalized, Supreme Court decisions on campaign finance law now encourage mega-donors, voters are more polarized, party affiliation has waned, and the middle ideological ground has given way to extremist language and voter rage. This new edition of Campaigns, Elections, and the Threat to Democracy: What Everyone Needs to Know® offers the most up-to-date examination of campaigns, elections, and future threats to voting and democracy. It will also include new data on voter participation, voter fraud, reapportionment post-2020 census, party polarization, campaign finance, and more. Given the fragility of our election process, what are the threats to a healthy American democracy? This is not simply a book on how campaigns are run, but why campaigns and elections are integral components of American democracy and how those fundamental elements may be vulnerable to misuse.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/653298Tue, 14 Mar 2023 01:22:06 +0000Myrtle JerdePlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/653298 to listen full audiobooks.

But in recent years, there have been troubling signs that our system of campaigns and elections has become much more fragile and vulnerable. More specifically, in the past twenty years, campaigns have changed profoundly: social media and viral messaging compete with traditional media, races once considered local in nature have become nationalized, Supreme Court decisions on campaign finance law now encourage mega-donors, voters are more polarized, party affiliation has waned, and the middle ideological ground has given way to extremist language and voter rage. This new edition of Campaigns, Elections, and the Threat to Democracy: What Everyone Needs to Know® offers the most up-to-date examination of campaigns, elections, and future threats to voting and democracy. It will also include new data on voter participation, voter fraud, reapportionment post-2020 census, party polarization, campaign finance, and more. Given the fragility of our election process, what are the threats to a healthy American democracy? This is not simply a book on how campaigns are run, but why campaigns and elections are integral components of American democracy and how those fundamental elements may be vulnerable to misuse.]]>1805cleanfullhttps://www.spreaker.com/episode/german-30-minuten-friedrich-schillers-wilhelm-tell-weltliteratur-kompakt-schneller-horen-mehr-wissen-by-jurgen-fritsche-friedri--65205616https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/656478 to listen full audiobooks.

Title: Every Citizen a Statesman: The Dream of a Democratic Foreign Policy in the American Century Author: David Allen Narrator: Lyle Blaker Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 10 hours 44 minutes Release date: March 7, 2023 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: No major arena of US governance is more elitist than foreign policy. International relations barely surface in election campaigns, and policymakers take little input from Congress. For much of the twentieth century, officials, activists, and academics worked to foster an informed public that would embrace participation in foreign policy as a civic duty. Every Citizen a Statesman recounts an abandoned effort to create a democratic foreign policy. Taking the lead alongside the State Department were philanthropic institutions like the Ford and Rockefeller foundations and the Foreign Policy Association, a nonprofit founded in 1918. In cities across the country, hundreds of thousands of Americans gathered in homes and libraries to learn and talk about pressing global issues. But by the 1960s, officials were convinced that strategy in a nuclear world was beyond ordinary people, and foundation support for outreach withered. The local councils increasingly focused on those who were already engaged in political debate and otherwise decried supposed public apathy, becoming a force for the very elitism they set out to combat. The result, David Allen argues, was a chasm between policymakers and the public that has persisted since the Vietnam War, insulating a critical area of decision-making from the will of the people.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/653272Tue, 07 Mar 2023 01:22:06 +0000Myrtle JerdePlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/653272 to listen full audiobooks.

Title: The Jury: A Very Short Introduction Author: Renée Lettow Lerner Narrator: Cathi Colas Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 4 hours 57 minutes Release date: February 28, 2023 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: Almost every society has professional judges, but from ancient Athens to modern Asia, cultures have wanted ordinary people involved in legal decisions. The use of juries comes with challenges; societies must determine how to select jurors, what cases jurors should decide and by what rules, and how to inform jurors about the law and evidence. This Very Short Introduction shows how and why societies around the world have used juries, charting the spread of the twelve-person jury from England to the British colonies in America, Canada, India, Australia, New Zealand, and the Caribbean. In criminal cases, use of lay jurors has stretched to nations in Europe, Latin America, and Asia as they aspire to democracy, greater popular participation in government, and legitimacy of the justice system. But in English-speaking countries, jury trials are declining. Civil juries have been virtually abolished everywhere except the United States, and even there they are rare. In criminal cases, plea bargaining is now taking the place of jury trials. In this book, Renée Lettow Lerner describes the benefits and challenges of using juries, including jury nullification, and considers how innovations from non-English-speaking countries may be key to the survival of lay participation.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/649594Tue, 28 Feb 2023 01:22:06 +0000Myrtle JerdePlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/649594 to listen full audiobooks.

Title: A Companion to Marx's Grundrisse Author: David Harvey Narrator: David Stifel Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 19 hours 56 minutes Release date: February 28, 2023 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: David Harvey tackles Marx's notebooks that have spawned wide-ranging and raging controversies When leading scholar of Marx, Roman Rosdolsky, first encountered the virtually unknown text of Marx's Grundrisse—his preparatory work for his masterpiece Das Capital—in the 1950s in New York Public Library, he recognized it as 'a work of fundamental importance,' but declared 'its unusual form' and 'obscure manner of expression, made it far from suitable for reaching a wide circle of readers.' David Harvey's Companion to Marx's Grundrisse builds upon his widely acclaimed companions to the first and second volumes of Capital in a way that will reach as wide an audience as possible. Marx's stated ambition for this text is to reveal 'the exact development of the concept of capital as the fundamental concept of modern economics, just as capital itself is the foundation of bourgeois society.'

But that all changed in 2015, when the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) analyzed data from scientific studies and concluded that glyphosate, the active ingredient in Roundup, was probably carcinogenic. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) disagreed, other regulatory agencies got involved, and scientists clamored to understand the link between glyphosate and cancer.Toxic Exposure tells the true story of numerous patients who developed nonHodgkin lymphoma, a form of cancer, after using Roundup and their ensuing trials against Monsanto (now owned by Bayer, one of the largest agrochemical companies in the world). Written by Chadi Nabhan, MD, MBA, a cancer specialist, this is the only book by an expert physician witness who testified in the first three trials against Monsanto.Dr. Nabhan takes the reader behind the scenes of these pivotal trials, explaining key features of the cases, including how Monsanto downplayed the IARC’s scientific conclusions, may have worked to change how the EPA classified glyphosate, and conducted extensive PR campaigns designed to minimize the public’s perception of the negative health effects of its product. He also provides details about the other expert witnesses who reviewed the evidence, analyzed the science, and stood up to this agricultural behemoth in the courtroom.Discover the inside story of corporate influence, courtroom drama, legal discourse, monumental verdicts, and the ensuing media frenzy surrounding this massive uncovering of the truth and the years of scientific and legal work that led up to it.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/646579Tue, 28 Feb 2023 01:22:06 +0000Myrtle JerdePlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/646579 to listen full audiobooks.

Title: A Promise Kept: The Muscogee (Creek) Nation and McGirt v. Oklahoma Author: Robert J. Miller, Robbie Ethridge Narrator: Janet Metzger Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 10 hours 53 minutes Release date: February 28, 2023 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: 'At the end of the Trail of Tears there was a promise,' United States Supreme Court Justice Neil Gorsuch wrote in the decision issued in the case of McGirt v. Oklahoma. And that promise, made in treaties between the United States and the Muscogee (Creek) Nation more than 150 years earlier, would finally be kept. With the Court's ruling, the full extent of the Muscogee (Creek) Reservation was reaffirmed—meaning that 3.25 million acres of land in Oklahoma were recognized as 'Indian Country.' A Promise Kept explores the circumstances and implications of McGirt v. Oklahoma, likely the most significant Indian law case in well over a hundred years. Combining legal analysis and historical context, this book gives an in-depth, accessible account of how the case unfolded and what it might mean for Oklahomans, the Muscogee (Creek) Nation, and other tribes throughout the United States. Robbie Ethridge traces the history of the Muscogee (Creek) Nation from its inception to its resurgence in Oklahoma in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. Robert J. Miller considers McGirt v.

Now he reveals how he did it. He played baseball for Yale, graduated with honours from Harvard Law School and served in Iraq and in the halls of Congress. But in all these places, Ron DeSantis learned the same lesson: he didn’t want to be part of the leftist elite. His heart was always for the people of Florida, one of the most diverse and culturally rich states in the union. Since becoming governor of the Sunshine State, he has fought – and won – battle after battle, defeating not just opposition from the political left, but a barrage of hostile media coverage proclaiming the end of the world. In 2022, the governor delivered a historic, record-setting victory, winning by nearly 20 points and more than 1.5 million votes.

Title: The Southernization of America: A Story of Democracy in the Balance Author: Frye Gaillard, Cynthia Tucker Narrator: Diana Blue, Paul Heitsch Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 5 hours 23 minutes Release date: February 28, 2023 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: Pulitzer Prize-winner Cynthia Tucker and award-winning author Frye Gaillard reflect on the role of the South in America's long descent into Trumpism. In 1974, Southern author John Egerton published his seminal work, The Americanization of Dixie, reflecting on the double-edged reality of the South becoming more like the rest of the country and vice versa. Tucker and Gaillard dive deeper into that reality from the time that Egerton published his book until the present. They explore the 'birtherism' of Donald Trump and the roots of the racial backlash against President Obama; the specter of family separation on our southern border, with its echoes of similar separations in the era of slavery; as well as the rise of the Christian right, demonstrations in Charlottesville, the death of George Floyd, and the attack on the capital—all of which, they argue, have roots that trace their way to the South. But Tucker and Gaillard see another side too, a legacy rooted in the civil rights years that has given us political leaders like John Lewis, Jimmy Carter, Raphael Warnock, and Stacy Abrams. The authors raise the ironic possibility that the South might lead the way on the path to redemption. They bring a multi-racial perspective and years of political reporting to bear on a critical moment in American history, a time of racial reckoning and of democracy under siege.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/649599Tue, 28 Feb 2023 01:22:06 +0000Myrtle JerdePlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/649599 to listen full audiobooks.

Title: How Hitchens Can Save the Left: Rediscovering Fearless Liberalism in an Age of Counter-Enlightenment Author: Matt Johnson Narrator: Mike Chamberlain Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 12 hours 39 minutes Release date: February 28, 2023 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: Christopher Hitchens was for many years considered one of the fiercest and most eloquent left-wing polemicists in the world. But on much of today's left, he's remembered as a defector, a warmonger, and a sellout—a supporter of the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq who traded his left-wing principles for neoconservatism after the September 11 attacks. In How Hitchens Can Save the Left, Matt Johnson argues that this easy narrative gets Hitchens exactly wrong. Hitchens was a lifelong champion of free inquiry, humanism, and universal liberal values. He was an internationalist who believed all people should have the liberty to speak and write openly, to be free of authoritarian domination, and to escape the arbitrary constraints of tribe, faith, and nation. He was a figure of the Enlightenment and a man of the left until the very end, and his example has never been more important. Across the democratic world, free speech, individual rights, and other basic liberal values are losing their power to inspire. Hitchens's case for universal Enlightenment principles won't just help genuine liberals mount a resistance to the emerging illiberal orthodoxies on the left and the right. It will also remind us how to think and speak fearlessly in defense of those principles.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/651001Tue, 28 Feb 2023 01:22:06 +0000Myrtle JerdePlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/651001 to listen full audiobooks.

But on much of today's left, he's remembered as a defector, a warmonger, and a sellout—a supporter of the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq who traded his left-wing principles for neoconservatism after the September 11 attacks. In How Hitchens Can Save the Left, Matt Johnson argues that this easy narrative gets Hitchens exactly wrong. Hitchens was a lifelong champion of free inquiry, humanism, and universal liberal values. He was an internationalist who believed all people should have the liberty to speak and write openly, to be free of authoritarian domination, and to escape the arbitrary constraints of tribe, faith, and nation. He was a figure of the Enlightenment and a man of the left until the very end, and his example has never been more important. Across the democratic world, free speech, individual rights, and other basic liberal values are losing their power to inspire. Hitchens's case for universal Enlightenment principles won't just help genuine liberals mount a resistance to the emerging illiberal orthodoxies on the left and the right. It will also remind us how to think and speak fearlessly in defense of those principles.]]>1805cleanfullhttps://www.spreaker.com/episode/confronting-saddam-hussein-george-w-bush-and-the-invasion-of-iraq-by-melvyn-p-leffler--65205689https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/650993 to listen full audiobooks. Title: Confronting Saddam Hussein: George W. Bush and the Invasion of Iraq Author: Melvyn P. Leffler Narrator: Christopher P. Brown Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 11 hours 26 minutes Release date: February 28, 2023 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: America's decision to go to war in Iraq in 2003 is arguably the most important foreign policy choice of the entire post–Cold War era. Nearly two decades after the event, it remains central to understanding current international politics and US foreign relations. In Confronting Saddam Hussein, the eminent historian of US foreign policy Melvyn P. Leffler analyzes why the US chose war and who was most responsible for the decision. Employing a unique set of personal interviews with dozens of top officials and declassified American and British documents, Leffler vividly portrays the emotions and anxieties that shaped the thinking of the president after the shocking events of 9/11. He shows how fear, hubris, and power influenced Bush's approach to Saddam Hussein's Iraq. At the core of Leffler's account is his compelling portrait of Saddam Hussein. Rather than stressing Bush's preoccupation with promoting freedom or democracy, Leffler emphasizes Hussein's brutality, opportunism, and unpredictability and illuminates how the Iraqi dictator's record of aggression and intransigence haunted the president and influenced his calculations. Throughout, Leffler highlights the harrowing anxieties surrounding the decision-making process after the devastating attack on 9/11 and explains the roles of contingency, agency, rationality, and emotion.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/650993Tue, 28 Feb 2023 01:22:06 +0000Myrtle JerdePlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/650993 to listen full audiobooks.

Title: The Leak: Politics, Activists, and Loss of Trust at Brookhaven National Laboratory Author: Robert P. Crease Narrator: Keith Sellon-Wright Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 10 hours 30 minutes Release date: February 28, 2023 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: How the discovery of a harmless leak of radiation sparked a media firestorm, political grandstanding, and fearmongering that closed a vital scientific facility. In 1997, scientists at Brookhaven National Laboratory found a small leak of radioactive water near their research reactor. Brookhaven was—and is—a world-class, Nobel Prize–winning lab, and its reactor was the cornerstone of US materials science and one of the world's finest research facilities. But its discovery triggered a media and political firestorm that resulted in the reactor's shutdown, and even attempts to close the entire laboratory. A quarter century later, the episode reveals the dynamics of today's controversies in which fears and the dismissal of science disrupt serious discussion and research of vital issues. Key players include congressmen and scientists; journalists and university presidents; actors, supermodels, and anti-nuclear activists, all interacting and teaming up in surprising ways. The authors, each with insider knowledge of and access to confidential documents and the key players, reveal how a fact of no health significance could be portrayed as a Chernobyl-like disaster. This compelling exposé reveals the gaps between scientists, politicians, media, and the public that have only gotten more dangerous since 1997.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/651012Tue, 28 Feb 2023 01:22:06 +0000Myrtle JerdePlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/651012 to listen full audiobooks.

Anticipating a new dawn of freedom after the disintegration of the Soviet Union, Russians could hardly have foreseen the reality of their future a decade later: a country impoverished and controlled at every level by organized crime.

'Never turn back,' the Chinese leader replied. That became a mantra as the government forged ahead with reforms in the face of heated contestation over the nation's future. But deliberation came to a sudden halt in spring 1989, with protests and purges, massacre and repression. Since then, Beijing has worked intensively to suppress the memory of this era of openness. Julian Gewirtz recovers the debates of the 1980s, tracing the Communist Party's diverse attitudes toward markets, state control, and sweeping technological change, as well as freewheeling public argument over political liberalization. After Tiananmen, however, Beijing systematically erased these discussions of alternative directions. Using newly available Chinese sources, Gewirtz details how the leadership purged the key reformist politician Zhao Ziyang, quashed the student movement, recast the transformations of the 1980s as the inevitable products of consensus, and indoctrinated China and the international community in the new official narrative. Never Turn Back offers a revelatory look at how different China's rise might have been and at the foundations of strongman rule under Xi Jinping, who has intensified the policing of history to bolster his own authority.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/643395Tue, 21 Feb 2023 01:22:06 +0000Myrtle JerdePlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/643395 to listen full audiobooks.

Is democracy good because of its outcomes or despite them? This 'democratic dilemma' is one of the most persistent, vexing problems for America abroad, particularly in the Middle East—we want democracy in theory but not necessarily in practice. When Islamist parties rise to power through free elections, the United States has too often been ambivalent or opposed, preferring instead pliable dictators. With this legacy of democratic disrespect in mind, and drawing on new interviews with top American officials, Shadi Hamid explores universal questions of morality, power, and hypocrisy. Why has the United States failed so completely to live up to its own stated ideals in the Arab world? And is it possible for it to change? In The Problem of Democracy, Hamid offers an ambitious reimagining of this ongoing debate and argues for 'democratic minimalism' as a path to resolving democratic dilemmas in the Middle East and beyond.

Reflecting on our turbulent times, Senator Bernie Sanders takes on the billionaire class and speaks blunt truths about our country’s failure to address the destructive nature of a system that is fueled by uncontrolled greed and rigidly committed to prioritizing corporate profits over the needs of ordinary Americans. Sanders argues that unfettered capitalism is to blame for an unprecedented level of income and wealth inequality, is undermining our democracy, and is destroying our planet. How can we accept an economic order that allows three billionaires to control more wealth than the bottom half of our society? How can we accept a political system that allows the super rich to buy politicians and swing elections? How can we accept an energy system that rewards the fossil fuel corporations causing the climate crisis? Sanders believes that, in the face of these overwhelming challenges, the American people must ask tough questions about the systems that have failed us and demand fundamental economic and political change. This is where the path forward begins.

Title: Growth for Good: Reshaping Capitalism to Save Humanity from Climate Catastrophe Author: Alessio Terzi Narrator: Mitch Crawford Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 10 hours 59 minutes Release date: February 21, 2023 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: Economic growth is wrecking the planet. It's the engine driving climate change, pollution, and the shrinking of natural spaces. To save the environment, will we have to shrink the economy? Might this lead to a better society, helping us break free from an obsession with material wealth that only benefits the few? Alessio Terzi takes these questions as a starting point for a journey into the socioeconomic, evolutionary, and cultural origins of our need for growth. Terzi ranges across centuries and diverse civilizations to show that focus on economic expansion is interwoven with the human quest for happiness, wellbeing, and self-determination. Growth is underpinned by core principles and dynamics behind the West's rise to affluence. Today growth contributes to the stability of liberal democracy, the peaceful conduct of international relations, and the way our society is organized.

Title: Growth for Good: Reshaping Capitalism to Save Humanity from Climate Catastrophe Author: Alessio Terzi Narrator: Mitch Crawford Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 10 hours 59 minutes Release date: February 21, 2023 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: Economic growth is wrecking the planet. It's the engine driving climate change, pollution, and the shrinking of natural spaces. To save the environment, will we have to shrink the economy? Might this lead to a better society, helping us break free from an obsession with material wealth that only benefits the few? Alessio Terzi takes these questions as a starting point for a journey into the socioeconomic, evolutionary, and cultural origins of our need for growth. Terzi ranges across centuries and diverse civilizations to show that focus on economic expansion is interwoven with the human quest for happiness, wellbeing, and self-determination. Growth is underpinned by core principles and dynamics behind the West's rise to affluence. Today growth contributes to the stability of liberal democracy, the peaceful conduct of international relations, and the way our society is organized. Abandoning growth would not only prove impractical, but would also sow chaos, exacerbating conflict. This does not mean we have to choose between chaos and environmental destruction. Growth for Good presents a credible agenda to enroll capitalism in the fight against climate catastrophe. With the right policies and the help of engaged citizens, pioneering nations can set in motion a global decarbonization wave and create good jobs and a better world.]]>605cleanfullhttps://www.spreaker.com/episode/homelessness-is-a-housing-problem-how-structural-factors-explain-u-s-patterns-by-clayton-page-aldern-gregg-colburn--65205769https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/646605 to listen full audiobooks. Title: Homelessness is a Housing Problem: How Structural Factors Explain U.S Patterns Author: Clayton Page Aldern, Gregg Colburn Narrator: Adam Verner Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 6 hours 22 minutes Release date: February 21, 2023 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: In Homelessness Is a Housing Problem, Gregg Colburn and Clayton Page Aldern seek to explain the substantial regional variation in rates of homelessness in cities across the United States. In a departure from many analytical approaches, Colburn and Aldern shift their focus from the individual experiencing homelessness to the metropolitan area. Using accessible statistical analysis, they test a range of conventional beliefs about what drives the prevalence of homelessness in a given city—including mental illness, drug use, poverty, weather, generosity of public assistance, and low-income mobility—and find that none explain the regional variation observed across the country. Instead, housing market conditions, such as the cost and availability of rental housing, offer a far more convincing account. With rigor and clarity, Homelessness Is a Housing Problem explores United States cities' diverse experiences with housing precarity and offers policy solutions for unique regional contexts.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/646605Tue, 21 Feb 2023 01:22:06 +0000Myrtle JerdePlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/646605 to listen full audiobooks.

'Bernie Sanders has changed US politics forever' Owen Jones It's OK to be angry about capitalism. It's OK to want something better. Bernie Sanders takes on the 1% and speaks blunt truths about a system that is fuelled by uncontrolled greed, and rigged against ordinary people. Where a handful of oligarchs have never had it so good, with more money than they could spend in a thousand lifetimes, and the vast majority struggle to survive. Where a decent standard of living for all seems like an impossible dream. How can we accept an economic order that allows three billionaires to control more wealth than the bottom half of our society? How can we accept a political system that allows the super-rich to buy elections and politicians? How can we accept an energy system that rewards the fossil fuel corporations causing the climate crisis? How can we let it happen any longer? We must demand fundamental economic and political change. This is where the path forward begins. It's OK To Be Angry About Capitalism presents a vision of what would be possible if the political revolution took place. If we would finally recognize that economic rights are human rights, and work to create a society that provides them. This isn't some utopian fantasy; this is democracy as we should know it.

Hiding in plain sight is a fatal defect of modern democracy. Public employee unions have a death grip on the operating machinery of government. Schools can't work, bad cops can't be fired, and politicians sell their souls for union support. With this searing five-point indictment, Philip K. Howard argues that union controls have disempowered elected executives and should be unconstitutional. Elected officials answer to public employees. Basic tools of good government have been eliminated. There's no accountability, detailed union entitlements make government largely unmanageable and unaffordable, and public policies are driven by what is good for public employees, not what is good for the public. Public unions keep it that way by brute political force—harnessing the huge cohort of public employees into a political force dedicated to preventing the reform of government. The solution, Howard argues, is not political but constitutional. America's republican form of government requires an executive branch that is empowered to implement public policies, not one shackled to union controls.

Title: State of Disaster: The Failure of U.S. Migration Policy in an Age of Climate Change Author: Maria Cristina Garcia Narrator: Joana Garcia Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 8 hours 57 minutes Release date: February 21, 2023 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: Natural disasters and the dire effects of climate change cause massive population displacements and lead to some of the most intractable political and humanitarian challenges seen today. Yet, as Maria Cristina Garcia observes in this critical history of U.S. policy on migration in the Global South, there is actually no such thing as a 'climate refugee' under current U.S. law. Most initiatives intended to assist those who must migrate are flawed and ineffective from inception because they are derived from outmoded policies. In a world of climate change, U.S. refugee policy simply does not work. Garcia focuses on Central America and the Caribbean, where natural disasters have repeatedly worsened poverty, inequality, and domestic and international political tensions. She explains that the creation of better U.S. policy for those escaping disasters is severely limited by the 1980 Refugee Act, which continues to be applied almost exclusively for reasons of persecution directly related to politics, race, religion, and identity. Garcia contends that the United States must transform its outdated migration policies to address today's realities. Climate change and natural disasters are here to stay, and much of the human devastation left in their wake is essentially a policy choice.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/646233Tue, 21 Feb 2023 01:22:06 +0000Myrtle JerdePlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/646233 to listen full audiobooks.

But Russia has also been waging a clandestine war against the West for decades. Hostile acts abroad, from poisoning dissidents to shooting down airliners, interfering in elections, spying, hacking, and murdering, have long seemed to be the Kremlin's daily business. But what is it all for? Why does Russia consistently behave like this? And what does it achieve? In this book, Keir Giles explains how and why Russia pushes for more power and influence wherever it can reach, far beyond Ukraine—and what it means not just for governments, but for ordinary people. Bringing together stories from the military, politics, diplomacy, espionage, cyber power, organized crime, and more, Giles describes how Moscow conducts its campaigns across the globe, and how nobody is too unimportant to be caught up in them. By lifting the lid on the daily struggle going on behind the scenes to protect governments, businesses, societies, and people from Russian hostile activity, Russia's War On Everybody shows how Moscow's hostile intentions for the rest of the world are far broader and more ambitious, and the ways it tries to achieve them far more pervasive and damaging, than we realize.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/652070Tue, 21 Feb 2023 01:22:06 +0000Myrtle JerdePlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/652070 to listen full audiobooks.

THE INSTANT SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER - NOW UPDATED WITH FOUR NEW CHAPTERS A gripping and explosive account of Vladimir Putin's tyranny, charting his rise from spy to tsar, exposing the events that led to his invasion of Ukraine and his assault on Europe. In Killer in the Kremlin, award-winning journalist John Sweeney takes readers from the heart of Putin's Russia to the killing fields of Chechnya, to the embattled cities of an invaded Ukraine. In a disturbing exposé of Putin's sinister ambition, Sweeney draws on thirty years of his own reporting - from the Moscow apartment bombings to the atrocities committed by the Russian Army in Chechnya, to the annexation of Crimea and a confrontation with Putin over the shooting down of flight MH17 - to understand the true extent of Putin's long war. Drawing on eyewitness accounts and compelling testimony from those who have suffered at Putin's hand, we see the heroism of the Russian opposition, the bravery of the Ukrainian resistance, and the brutality with which the Kremlin responds to such acts of defiance, assassinating or locking away its critics, and stopping at nothing to achieve its imperialist aims. In the midst of one of the darkest acts of aggression in modern history - Russia's invasion of Ukraine - this book shines a light on Putin's rule and poses urgent questions about how the world must respond.

One of the incarcerated—whose sentence, unlike most others, has no end date—is Ilham Tohti, an intellectual and economist, a prolific writer, and formerly the host of a website, Uyghur Online. In 2014, Tohti was arrested; accused of advocating separatism, violence, and the overthrow of the Chinese government; subjected to a two-day trial; and sentenced to life. Nothing has been heard from him since. Here are Tohti's own words, a collection of his plain-spoken calls for justice, scholarly explanations of the history of Xinjiang, and poignant personal reflections. While his courage and outspokenness about the plight of China's Muslim minorities is extraordinary, these essays sound a measured insistence on peace and just treatment for the Uyghurs.

Title: Viral Cultures: Activist Archiving in the Age of AIDS Author: Marika Cifor Narrator: Kate Udall Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 13 hours 9 minutes Release date: February 14, 2023 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: Serving as a vital supplement to the existing scholarship on AIDS activism of the 1980s and 1990s, Viral Cultures is the first book to critically examine the archives that have helped preserve and create the legacy of those radical activities. Marika Cifor charts the efforts activists, archivists, and curators have made to document the work of AIDS activism in the United States and the infrastructure developed to maintain it, safeguarding the material for future generations to remember these social movements and to revitalize the epidemic's past in order to remake the present and future of AIDS. Drawing on large institutional archives such as the New York Public Library, as well as those developed by small, community-based organizations, this work of archival ethnography details how contemporary activists, artists, and curators use these records to build on the cultural legacy of AIDS activism to challenge the conditions of injustice that continue to undergird current AIDS crises. Cifor analyzes the various power structures through which these archives are mediated, demonstrating how ideology shapes the nature of archival material and how it is accessed and used.

Marika Cifor charts the efforts activists, archivists, and curators have made to document the work of AIDS activism in the United States and the infrastructure developed to maintain it, safeguarding the material for future generations to remember these social movements and to revitalize the epidemic's past in order to remake the present and future of AIDS.

Title: An End to the Upside Down Reset: The Leftist Vision for Society Under the “Great Reset”—and How It Can Fool Caring People into Supporting Harmful Causes Author: Mark Gober Narrator: Mark Gober Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 5 hours 40 minutes Release date: February 7, 2023 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: Whether you realize it or not, a vision for society—called the “Great Reset”—was formally unveiled by the World Economic Forum (WEF) in 2020, several months after COVID-19 emerged. The WEF is one of the most influential bodies in the world and has ties to the highest levels of global governments and industries. In fact, its Great Reset has implications for our collective future in terms of culture, politics, economics, the environment, technology, and metaphysics. So if you don’t think this subject affects you and your family—think again. In Mark Gober’s An End to the Upside Down Reset, he deconstructs the Great Reset’s stated vision. He demonstrates that while the proposed societal changes might sound compassionate, in practice they could be harmful. Moreover, the Great Reset largely aligns with a leftist worldview that dominates modern education and media—and it becomes even more entrenched because of unconscious psychological biases. Breaking through the fog of this programming allows one to see that the Great Reset risks bringing about a dystopia. This book enables listeners to view ongoing trends with a fresh set of eyes. And it’s an essential exercise: our ability to discern where the Great Reset is taking us could determine our civilization’s future.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/650211Tue, 07 Feb 2023 01:22:06 +0000Myrtle JerdePlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/650211 to listen full audiobooks.

Martin Narrator: Langston Darby Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 12 hours 34 minutes Release date: February 7, 2023 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: The shocking untold story of how the FBI partnered with white evangelicals to champion a vision of America as a white Christian nation. Lerone Martin draws on thousands of newly declassified FBI documents and memos to describe how, under J. Edgar Hoover's leadership, FBI agents attended spiritual retreats and worship services, creating an FBI religious culture that fashioned G-men into soldiers and ministers of Christian America. Martin shows how prominent figures such as Billy Graham, Fulton Sheen, and countless other ministers from across the country partnered with the FBI and laundered bureau intel in their sermons while the faithful crowned Hoover the adjudicator of true evangelical faith and allegiance. These partnerships not only solidified the political norms of modern white evangelicalism, they also contributed to the political rise of white Christian nationalism, establishing religion and race as the bedrock of the modern national security state, and setting the terms for today's domestic terrorism debates. Taking listeners from the pulpits and pews of small-town America to the Oval Office, and from the grassroots to denominational boardrooms, The Gospel of J.

The tax code isn’t computer code, but a series of complex formulas. It has vulnerabilities; we call them “loopholes.” We call exploits “tax avoidance strategies.” And there is an entire industry of “black hat” hackers intent on finding exploitable loopholes in the tax code. We call them accountants and tax attorneys.In A Hacker’s Mind, Bruce Schneier takes hacking out of the world of computing and uses it to analyze the systems that underpin our society: from tax laws to financial markets to politics. He reveals an array of powerful actors whose hacks bend our economic, political, and legal systems to their advantage, at the expense of everyone else.Once you learn how to notice hacks, you’ll start seeing them everywhere—and you’ll never look at the world the same way again.

Title: People vs. Donald Trump: An Inside Account Author: Mark Pomerantz Narrator: Mark Pomerantz Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 9 hours 16 minutes Release date: February 7, 2023 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: A fascinating inside account of the attempt to prosecute former US president Donald Trump.   Mark Pomerantz was a retired lawyer living a calm suburban life when he accepted an offer to join the staff of the district attorney of New York County in February 2021. His brief: to work on the investigation of former president Donald Trump and the Trump Organisation.   Over the next year, Pomerantz interviewed potential witnesses, scrutinised financial records and learned everything he could about Trump’s business practices. He finally gathered enough evidence to support the view—held by many of his colleagues on the case—that Trump should be indicted for a number of financial crimes. But that indictment never happened. This book explains why.   In People vs. Donald Trump, Pomerantz tells the story of his unprecedented investigation, why he and his colleague Carey Dunne resigned in protest when Manhattan’s district attorney refused to act, and why he believes Donald Trump should be prosecuted. He draws from a lifetime of legal experience to tell a devastating and frequently entertaining story of how prosecutors think, how criminals act, and how the American justice system works—and sometimes doesn’t work. It is a cautionary tale that explores how Trump manages to dance between the raindrops of accountability, and how others might bring him to justice.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/650491Tue, 07 Feb 2023 01:22:06 +0000Myrtle JerdePlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/650491 to listen full audiobooks.

Title: Making the Imperial Nation: Colonization, Politics, and English Identity, 1660-1700 Author: Gabriel Glickman Narrator: Derek Perkins Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 12 hours 40 minutes Release date: January 31, 2023 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: After 1660, English governments aimed to convert scattered overseas dominions into a coordinated territorial power base. Stuart monarchs encouraged schemes for expansion in America, Africa, and Asia, tightened control over existing territories, and endorsed systems of slave labor. But English power was precarious, and colonial designs were subject to regular defeats and failed experimentation. Recovering from recent Civil Wars at home, England was shaken by unrest and upheaval through the later seventeenth century. Colonial policies emerged from a kingdom riven with inner tensions, which it exported to enclaves overseas. Gabriel Glickman reinstates the colonies within the domestic history of Restoration England. He shows how the pursuit of empire raised moral and ideological controversies that divided political opinion and unsettled many ideas of English national identity. Overseas ambitions disrupted bonds in Europe and cast new questions about English relations with Scotland and Ireland. Vigorous debates were provoked by contact with non-Christian peoples and by changes brought to cultural tastes and consumer habits. England was becoming an imperial nation before it had acquired a secure territorial empire. The pressures of colonization exerted a decisive influence over wars, revolutions, and party conflicts that destabilized the later Stuart kingdom.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/640491Tue, 31 Jan 2023 01:22:06 +0000Myrtle JerdePlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/640491 to listen full audiobooks.

Title: The Straight State: Sexuality and Citizenship in Twentieth-Century America Series: #74 of Politics and Society in Modern America Author: Margot Canaday Narrator: Laurel Lefkow Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 10 hours 33 minutes Release date: January 31, 2023 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: A classic book now available on audio With narration by Laurel Lefkow, who reveals how the government enforced sex and gender conformity and relegated gays to second-class citizenship The Straight State is the most expansive study of the federal regulation of homosexuality yet written. Unearthing startling new evidence from the National Archives, Margot Canaday shows how the state systematically came to penalize homosexuality, giving rise to a regime of second-class citizenship that sexual minorities still live under today. Canaday looks at three key arenas of government control—immigration, the military, and welfare—and demonstrates how federal enforcement of sexual norms emerged with the rise of the modern bureaucratic state. She begins at the turn of the twentieth century when the state first stumbled upon evidence of sex and gender nonconformity, revealing how homosexuality was policed indirectly through the exclusion of sexually 'degenerate' immigrants and other regulatory measures aimed at combating poverty, violence, and vice. Canaday argues that the state's gradual awareness of homosexuality intensified during the later New Deal and through the postwar period as policies were enacted that explicitly used homosexuality to define who could enter the country, serve in the military, and collect state benefits. Midcentury repression was not a sudden response to newly visible gay subcultures, Canaday demonstrates, but the culmination of a much longer and slower process of state-building during which the state came to know and to care about homosexuality across many decades. Social, political, and legal history at their most compelling, The Straight State explores how regulation transformed the regulated: in drawing boundaries around national citizenship, the state helped to define the very meaning of homosexuality in America.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/649666Tue, 31 Jan 2023 01:22:06 +0000Myrtle JerdePlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/649666 to listen full audiobooks.

Canaday looks at three key arenas of government control—immigration, the military, and welfare—and demonstrates how federal enforcement of sexual norms emerged with the rise of the modern bureaucratic state. She begins at the turn of the twentieth century when the state first stumbled upon evidence of sex and gender nonconformity, revealing how homosexuality was policed indirectly through the exclusion of sexually 'degenerate' immigrants and other regulatory measures aimed at combating poverty, violence, and vice. Canaday argues that the state's gradual awareness of homosexuality intensified during the later New Deal and through the postwar period as policies were enacted that explicitly used homosexuality to define who could enter the country, serve in the military, and collect state benefits. Midcentury repression was not a sudden response to newly visible gay subcultures, Canaday demonstrates, but the culmination of a much longer and slower process of state-building during which the state came to know and to care about homosexuality across many decades. Social, political, and legal history at their most compelling, The Straight State explores how regulation transformed the regulated: in drawing boundaries around national citizenship, the state helped to define the very meaning of homosexuality in America.]]>305cleanfullhttps://www.spreaker.com/episode/invisible-trillions-how-financial-secrecy-is-imperiling-capitalism-and-democracy-and-the-way-to-renew-our-broken-system-by-raymond-w-baker--65205605https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/657146 to listen full audiobooks. Title: Invisible Trillions: How Financial Secrecy Is Imperiling Capitalism and Democracy—and the Way to Renew Our Broken System Author: Raymond W. Baker Narrator: Dave Clark Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 10 hours 35 minutes Release date: January 31, 2023 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: 'Essential reading for anyone truly interested in saving democracy from the predations of kleptocracy and plutocracy.' -Charles Davidson, The Journal of Democracy This book expands our understanding of the financial secrecy system dominating capitalism today and shows how we can create accountability to restore our democracy. Over the last half century, capitalism has created the means for trillions of dollars, euros, pounds, and other stores of wealth to move invisibly-beyond the control of central bankers, law enforcement agents, and international institutions. With an entire financial secrecy system now dominating capitalist operations, riches flow inexorably upward and accelerate economic inequality. And rising inequality is directly imperiling-weakening, obstructing, and degrading-democracy. This book is not a screed against capitalism-it is a call for capitalism to return to its roots, reenergizing its synergies with democracy. Raymond Baker writes, 'Democratic capitalism is, in my judgment, the best system yet devised in political economy, but dysfunctions within its capitalist component are undermining the two-part system.' Baker explains the tax havens, secrecy jurisdictions, disguised corporations, anonymous trusts, fake foundations, regulatory loopholes, money laundering techniques, and more that make up the financial secrecy system. But he goes beyond the 'what' to the 'why,' examining the motivations driving the system that generates and shelters trillions of dollars that could go toward spreading wealth, generating public goods, and protecting the environment. Going deeper, Baker illustrates how these realities further corrode the commonwealth, with chapters devoted to the facilitating activities and impacts of banks, corporations, enabling lawyers and accountants, governments, and international institutions and concluding with the limiting role played in policy silos that are missing the bigger picture.  Finally, he provides specific, pragmatic measures to reset capitalism so that it once again contributes to shared prosperity and sustained democracy. This is a magisterial treatment of an issue that is at the root of so many problems that plague our nation and the world today.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/657146Tue, 31 Jan 2023 01:22:06 +0000Myrtle JerdePlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/657146 to listen full audiobooks.

Este libro es una ventana al corazón de un hombre que llora, ríe, sufre y disfruta la vida» Pablo Alarcón-Cháires En 2004 Michoacán se resquebrajó. Ese año, los cárteles, insatisfechos con las ganancias obtenidas con el tráfico de drogas, diversificaron sus actividades e incursionaron en la extorsión, el secuestro, el pillaje y, en el colmo del sadismo, la violación y la tortura. Después de una década de violencia desatada, los habitantes de la zona reaccionaron. Empobrecidos por los embates del crimen, olvidados por las autoridades, furiosos y hartos, decidieron tomar la justicia en sus manos. José Manuel Mireles Valverde es una figura central en este panorama. Fundador de las autodefensas en la Tierra Caliente, luchó durante más de un año contra los cárteles, pero fue apresado en junio de 2014 durante un operativo federal duramente criticado. Entonces debió emprender otras batallas: la jurídica -por salir de prisión- y la moral -para no doblegar su espíritu-. Y triunfó. Mireles ha convertido esa 'digna rabia' en la crónica completa de las autodefensas michoacanas. En este libro, que se remonta a la herencia purépecha y la pelea que los terracalenteños dieron durante la Revolución mexicana y la Guerra cristera, el médico y comandante narra a detalle la génesis del movimiento de autodefensas, así comola adrenalina de los combates y las negociaciones frustrantes con el gobierno, que culminaron en una traición histórica.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/656506Thu, 26 Jan 2023 01:22:06 +0000Myrtle JerdePlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/656506 to listen full audiobooks.

Liu Narrator: Kate Udall Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 12 hours 9 minutes Release date: January 24, 2023 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: Originally published in 1776, Adam Smith's The Wealth of Nations was lauded by America's founders as a landmark work of Enlightenment thinking. Glory Liu traces how generations of Americans have read, reinterpreted, and weaponized Smith's ideas, revealing how his popular image as a champion of American-style capitalism and free markets is a historical invention. Liu tells the story of how an unassuming Scottish philosopher captured the American imagination and played a leading role in shaping American economic and political ideas. She shows how Smith became known as the father of political economy in the nineteenth century and was firmly associated with free trade, and how, in the aftermath of the Great Depression, the Chicago School of Economics transformed him into the preeminent theorist of self-interest and the miracle of free markets. Liu explores how a new generation of political theorists and public intellectuals has sought to recover Smith's original intentions and restore his reputation as a moral philosopher. Charting the enduring fascination that this humble philosopher from Scotland has held for American readers over more than two centuries, Adam Smith's America shows how Smith continues to be a vehicle for articulating perennial moral and political anxieties about modern capitalism.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/643440Tue, 24 Jan 2023 01:22:06 +0000Myrtle JerdePlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/643440 to listen full audiobooks.

This book has to be the moment that things change.” - Lucy Easthope, author of When the Dust Settles]]>185cleanfullhttps://www.spreaker.com/episode/spanish-orden-mundial-reflexiones-sobre-el-caracter-de-los-paises-y-el-curso-de-la-historia-by-henry-kissinger--65205630https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/652814 to listen full audiobooks. Title: [Spanish] - Orden mundial: Reflexiones sobre el carácter de los países y el curso de la historia Author: Henry Kissinger Narrator: Roger Vidal Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 12 hours 52 minutes Release date: January 19, 2023 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: Una profunda reflexión sobre qué motiva la armonía y el conflicto en las relaciones internacionales, por el Premio Nobel de la Paz. «Las conclusiones de Kissinger deberían ser lectura obligada para los candidatos a las elecciones de 2016. El orden mundial depende de ello.» The Financial Times Henry Kissinger presenta una profunda y original reflexión sobre las causas que originan la armonía y los conflictos en los asuntos globales. A partir de su inmensa experiencia como uno de los principales estadistas del siglo XX, asesor de presidentes, conocedor del mundo, observador y participante en los temas centrales de política internacional de último medio siglo, Kissinger expone en esta obra su visión del reto fundamental del siglo XXI: cómo construir un orden internacional compartido en un mundo con perspectivas históricas divergentes, plagado de conflictos violentos, tecnología desbocada y extremismo ideológico. Reseñas: «El mejor Kissinger, con su inimitable combinación de erudición y agudeza, y el talento para unir titulares con tendencia a largo plazo; a muy largo en este caso. Abarca desde el Tratado de Westphalia a los avances en microprocesadores, desde Sun Tzu a Talleyrand, a Twitter.» Hillary Clinton, The Washington Post «Un magnífico ensayo sobre el desorden político internacional.» Lluis Bassets, Babelia «El nuevo libro de Henry Kissinger, Orden mundial, no puede ser más oportuno. Kissinger, a sus 91 años, recorre a buen paso los siglos y los continentes, y examina las alianzas y los conflictos que han definido Europa a través de los siglos, las consecuencias de la desintegración de estados como Siria o Iraq, y la relación de China con el resto de Asia y Occidente.» Michiko Kakutani, The New York Times «Este libro combina historia, geografía, política contemporánea y buenas dosis de pasión. Así es, pasión, ya que es un cri de coeur de un famoso escéptico, un aviso a las generaciones futuras de un anciano gran conocedor del pasado, un libro que todos los políticos deberían leer.» John Mickletwait, The New York Times Book Review «El libro de Kissinger es un fascinante e instructivo recorrido global por la búsqueda de la armonía. La clave del realismo en las relaciones internacionales de Kissinger, y el tema de este libro magistral, es que esa humildad es importante no solo para las personas, sino también para los países, incluido Estados Unidos.» Walter Isaacson, Time «Kissinger demuestra por qué sigue siendo un asesor tan respetado tanto por presidentes estadounidenses como por líderes internacionales. Orden Mundial es una guía para perplejos, un manifiesto para repensar el papel de Estados Unidos y del mundo. La visión de Kissinger podría contribuir a crear una era más tranquila que la que tenemos ahora mismo.» Jacob Heilbrunn, The National Interest]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/652814Thu, 19 Jan 2023 01:22:06 +0000Myrtle JerdePlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/652814 to listen full audiobooks.

Title: The Nations of NATO: Shaping the Alliance's Relevance and Cohesion Author: Thierry Tardy Narrator: Paul Heitsch Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 12 hours 39 minutes Release date: January 17, 2023 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: NATO stands at the forefront of the response to Russia's aggression in Ukraine. But how does NATO function? The Nations of NATO explores national policies within the Atlantic Alliance. It examines the foreign policies of sixteen allies, focusing on issues such as their strategic cultures, relationship with the US, contributions to NATO operations, levels of defense spending, domestic challenges, and decision-making processes. The recent crisis in Ukraine has without doubt reinvigorated NATO as a military alliance, but over the last decade it has also been affected by a number of challenges, both endogenous and exogenous. Whether the Alliance is threatened from the outside (Russia, terrorism, China) or is being undermined from within (intra-Alliance politics, diverging threat perceptions) has become an increasingly debated issue. The degree to which the Alliance can adapt to evolving threats has also been at stake. At the heart of these debates are NATO allies' policies, preferences, threat perceptions, and level of commitment to the shared enterprise. By analyzing the drivers, constraints, and specificities of relevant national policies, the volume offers an overview of NATO's contemporary functions and challenges, and constitutes an important source of data for future research and comparative analysis.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/640473Tue, 17 Jan 2023 01:22:06 +0000Myrtle JerdePlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/640473 to listen full audiobooks.

Title: Algorithms for the People: Democracy in the Age of AI Author: Josh Simons Narrator: Teri Schnaubelt Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 10 hours 23 minutes Release date: January 10, 2023 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: This audiobook narrated by Teri Schnaubelt explains how to put democracy at the heart of AI governance Artificial intelligence and machine learning are reshaping our world. Police forces use them to decide where to send police officers, judges to decide whom to release on bail, welfare agencies to decide which children are at risk of abuse, and Facebook and Google to rank content and distribute ads. In these spheres, and many others, powerful prediction tools are changing how decisions are made, narrowing opportunities for the exercise of judgment, empathy, and creativity. In Algorithms for the People, Josh Simons flips the narrative about how we govern these technologies. Instead of examining the impact of technology on democracy, he explores how to put democracy at the heart of AI governance. Drawing on his experience as a research fellow at Harvard University, a visiting research scientist on Facebook's Responsible AI team, and a policy advisor to the UK's Labour Party, Simons gets under the hood of predictive technologies, offering an accessible account of how they work, why they matter, and how to regulate the institutions that build and use them. He argues that prediction is political: human choices about how to design and use predictive tools shape their effects. Approaching predictive technologies through the lens of political theory casts new light on how democracies should govern political choices made outside the sphere of representative politics. Showing the connection between technology regulation and democratic reform, Simons argues that we must go beyond conventional theorizing of AI ethics to wrestle with fundamental moral and political questions about how the governance of technology can support the flourishing of democracy.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/649663Tue, 10 Jan 2023 01:22:06 +0000Myrtle JerdePlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/649663 to listen full audiobooks.

Title: [Spanish] - Disposición final: La confesión de Videla sobre los desaparecidos Author: Ceferino Reato Narrator: Ezequiel Romero Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 8 hours 24 minutes Release date: January 5, 2023 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: Edición definitiva del libro con la confesión de Jorge Rafael Videla sobre los desaparecidos en la Argentina durante la dictadura de 1976-1983, resultado de más de veinte horas de entrevista cara a cara en la cárcel, un año antes de su muerte. El 24 de marzo de 1976, un día soleado y apacible, los militares -encabezados por Jorge Rafael Videla- tomaron el poder, y muchos argentinos los recibieron con alivio. La dictadura comenzaba con el apoyo de buena parte de los empresarios, la Iglesia, la prensa, la gente de la cultura, el Partido Comunista, el radicalismo y hasta de sectores peronistas. Montoneros y el ERP se mostraron exultantes: habían jugado al golpe para acelerar la revolución socialista. Ceferino Reato ofrece ahora la edición definitiva de un libro que es un documento histórico porque fue el único periodista argentino que entrevistó a Videla, en más de veinte horas de preguntas y respuestas en la cárcel, cara a cara, un año antes de la muerte del ex dictador. Junto con testimonios de militares, guerrilleros, políticos, empresarios y sindicalistas, reconstruye la dictadura por dentro y el contexto de violencia y lucha por el poder en el que surgió y se mantuvo. Esta edición incluye un prólogo en el que Reato cuenta la trastienda de esas entrevistas y rebate las críticas a este libro que, en 2012, provocó una intensa polémica. Incorpora, además, nuevos documentos y una serie de fotos. A cuarenta años del golpe, la confesión de Videla sobre la dictadura más sangrienta de la historia argentina. «Para completar nuestra verdad, la de las víctimas, es invalorable la confesión del victimario.» Graciela Fernández Meijide «Este es un libro para todas las épocas porque confirma la universalidad de todas las dictaduras brutales que justifican las matanzas de masas.» Robert Cox]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/651447Thu, 05 Jan 2023 01:22:06 +0000Myrtle JerdePlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/651447 to listen full audiobooks.

Indigenous men are fifteen times more likely to be locked up than their non-Indigenous counterparts; Indigenous women are twenty-one times more likely. Featuring vivid case studies and drawing on a deep sense of history, Black Lives, White Law explores Australia's extraordinary record of locking up First Nations people. It examines Australia's system of criminal justice – the web of laws and courts and police and prisons – and how that system interacts with First Nations people and communities. How is it that so many are locked up? Why have imprisonment rates increased in recent years? Is this situation fair? Almost everyone agrees that it's not. And yet it keeps getting worse. In this groundbreaking book, Russell Marks investigates Australia's incarceration epidemic. What would happen if the institutions of Australian justice received the same scrutiny to which they routinely subject Indigenous Australians? ‘Such a powerful and compelling exposé of how the so-called justice system actually does absolutely nothing for either offenders or victims.' - OLGA HAVNEN ‘Russell Marks' book is a timely reminder that law is politics and that it is seared into the bodies of First Nations people.' - KATE AUTY]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/651052Wed, 04 Jan 2023 01:22:06 +0000Myrtle JerdePlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/651052 to listen full audiobooks.

Title: The Village Labourer 1760-1832: A Study in the Government of England before the Reform Bill Author: Barbara Hammond, James L Hammond, Cole Bolchoz Narrator: Cole Bolchoz Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 12 hours 15 minutes Release date: December 28, 2022 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: Many histories have been written of the governing class that ruled England with such absolute power during the last century of the old régime. Those histories have shown how that class conducted war, how it governed its colonies, how it behaved to the continental Powers, how it managed the first critical chapters of our relations with India, how it treated Ireland, how it developed the Parliamentary system, how it saved Europe from Napoleon. One history has only been sketched in outline: it is the history of the way in which this class governed England. The writers of this book have here attempted to describe the life of the poor during this period. It is their object to show what was in fact happening to the working classes under a government in which they had no share. They found, on searching through the material for such a study, that the subject was too large for a single book; they have accordingly confined themselves in this volume to the treatment of the village poor, leaving the town worker for separate treatment. It is necessary to mention this, for it helps to explain certain omissions that may strike the reader. The growth and direction of economic opinion, for example, are an important part of any examination of this question, but the writers have been obliged to reserve the consideration of that subject for their later volume, to which it seems more appropriate. The writers have also found it necessary to leave entirely on one side for the present the movement for Parliamentary Reform which was alive throughout this period, and very active, of course, during its later stages. Two subjects are discussed fully in this volume, they believe, for the first time. One is the actual method and procedure of Parliamentary Enclosure; the other the labourers’ rising of 1830. Nowhere can the student find a full analysis of the procedure and stages by which the old village age was destroyed. The rising of 1830 is covered as well.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/654032Wed, 28 Dec 2022 01:22:06 +0000Myrtle JerdePlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/654032 to listen full audiobooks.

The writers have also found it necessary to leave entirely on one side for the present the movement for Parliamentary Reform which was alive throughout this period, and very active, of course, during its later stages. Two subjects are discussed fully in this volume, they believe, for the first time. One is the actual method and procedure of Parliamentary Enclosure; the other the labourers’ rising of 1830. Nowhere can the student find a full analysis of the procedure and stages by which the old village age was destroyed. The rising of 1830 is covered as well.]]>305cleanfullhttps://www.spreaker.com/episode/german-entscheidung-in-kiew-ukrainische-lektionen-aktualisierte-und-erweiterte-neuausgabe-ungekurzte-lesung-by-karl-schlogel--65205661https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/652866 to listen full audiobooks.

Its preamble set out in brief the enlightened values it enshrined and hoped to engender. In a radical shift from mainstream constitutional history, this book establishes Dr B.R. Ambedkar's irrefutable authorship of the preamble by uncovering the intellectual origins of its six most central concepts-justice, liberty, equality, fraternity, dignity, and nation.Although Dr Ambedkar is universally regarded as the chief architect of the Constitution, the specifics of his role as chairman of the Drafting Committee are not widely discussed. Totally neglected is his almost single-handed authorship of the Constitution's Preamble, which is frequently and mistakenly attributed to B.N. Rau rather than to Ambedkar.This book establishes how and why the Preamble to the Constitution of India is essentially an Ambedkarite preamble. It is clear that its central concepts have their provenance in Ambedkar's writings and speeches. Through six eponymous chapters, this book unfolds the story of the six constitutional concepts. In doing so, it spotlights fundamental facts about modern Indian history, as well as Ambedkar's revolutionary political thought, hitherto ignored in conventional accounts.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/651475Tue, 13 Dec 2022 01:22:06 +0000Myrtle JerdePlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/651475 to listen full audiobooks.

After nearly two centuries of colonial rule, planning the economy was meant to be independent India’s route from poverty to prosperity. Planning Democracy explores how India married liberal democracy to a socialist economy. Planning not only built India’s data systems, it even shaped the nature of its democracy. The Five-Year Plans loomed so large that they linked surprisingly far-flung contexts-from computers to Bollywood to Hindutva. In this compelling history, Nikhil Menon brings the world of planning to life through the intriguing story of a gifted scientist known as the Professor, a trail-blazing research institute in Calcutta, and the alluring idea of ‘democratic planning’. Set amidst global conflicts and international debates, Menon reveals how India walked a tightrope between capitalism and communism.

The Black Panther Party founded over 60 community support programs including food banks, medical clinics, sickle cell anemia tests, prison busing for families of inmates, legal advice seminars, clothing banks, housing cooperatives, and their own ambulance service. The most famous of these programs was the Free Breakfast for Children program which fed thousands of impoverished children daily during the early 1970s. Newton also co-founded the Black Panther newspaper service, which became one of America's most widely distributed African-American newspapers. In 1989, he was murdered in Oakland, California, by Tyrone Robinson, a member of the Black Guerrilla Family. Newton was known for being an advocate of self-defense and used his position as a leader within the Black Panther Party to welcome women and LGBT people into the party, holding the belief that homosexuals 'might be the most oppressed people'. Huey Newton was never shy in talking to the media because after all the powerful movement he started with bobby Seale was all about communication and understanding leading to meaningful change. What follows is a collection of interviews with the controversial charismatic leader commencing from his prison cell in 1968 right up until 1989 just weeks before his tragic death. Here is a chance to get to know and understand not only Huey the forward-thinking and intractable black rights advocate but also the sensitive and sensible intellectual ultimately compassionate and caring man.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/649687Tue, 29 Nov 2022 01:22:06 +0000Myrtle JerdePlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/649687 to listen full audiobooks.

Title: [German] - Ein falsches Wort: Wie eine neue linke Ideologie aus Amerika unsere Meinungsfreiheit bedroht Author: René Pfister Narrator: Matthias Ernst Holzmann Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 6 hours 20 minutes Release date: November 28, 2022 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: »Das Beste, was ich bislang zur neuen linken Glaubenskultur gelesen habe« (Jan Fleischhauer) Eine linke Revolution hat Amerika erfasst: Im Namen von Gerechtigkeit und Antirassismus greift dort eine Ideologie um sich, die neue Intoleranz erzeugt - in liberalen Medien kann ein falsches Wort Karrieren beenden, an den Universitäten herrscht ein Klima der Angst, Unternehmen feuern Mitarbeiter, die sich dem neuen Zeitgeist widersetzen. In vielen Porträts und Geschichten beschreibt René Pfister, Büroleiter des SPIEGEL in Washington, diese neue politische Religion - und zeigt auf, warum die amerikanische Demokratie nicht nur von rechts unter Druck kommt. Er erklärt, wie Dogmatismus, Freund-Feind-Denken und Mob-Mentalität in Internet die Meinungsfreiheit in den USA schon gefährlich eingeschränkt haben. Eindrücklich warnt er vor diesem Fundamentalismus, dem wir uns widersetzen müssen, um auch in Deutschland die offene Gesellschaft zu verteidigen.

Con estas páginas, Lourdes Mendoza nos regala su testimonio de las duras batallas que como mujer, como madre, como periodista ha librado para obtener justicia, preservar su honor y ser ejemplo para Dany, su hija. Con valentía, con profesionalismo, con emociones encontradas, Lourdes nos comparte la memoria de su lucha triunfante por la dignidad.' -Andrés Pastrana, expresidente de Colombia. La crítica dice: 'Los Lozoya se metieron con la persona equivocada. Trataron de sumirla y sumarla al pantano de hostigamiento y estigmatización que padece la prensa en nuestros días, despertando así a una periodista y madre aguerrida que los exhibió y venció en tribunales. Con la franqueza y claridad que la caracteriza, Lourdes comparte una historia que nos recuerda que lo personal también es político; que las mentiras acaban carreras (y vidas) enteras; y que la batalla por la libertad de expresión está más vigente que nunca.' -Leopoldo Maldonado, director regional de artículo 19 'Este texto es mucho más que una narrativa escrita con un corazón dolorido, con la mano firme de una periodista injustamente lastimada en su dignidad por el poder. Se trata de una sincera y profunda reflexión sobre una cruenta lucha entre la ignominia que busca encubrirse con la mentira y el engaño, por un lado, y el empeño históricamente renovado por que aflore la verdad del otro. Este texto es su Antígona, expresión de una mujer mexicana, de una orgullosa madre resiliente y con la frente en alto ante el poder.' -Emilio Rabasa, Doctor en Derecho 'La prosa de Lourdes Mendoza te atrapa por fluida y porque la respalda una información pesada por precisa. En el trasfondo está un hecho: en México lo normal es que ganen los corruptos. En esta ocasión la periodista (Lourdes) ya derrotó en primera y segunda instancia a Emilio Lozoya. También lo destrozó mediáticamente y sus fotografías mostrándolo en un restaurante de lujo lo tienen tras las rejas. Recomiendo esta crónica que alimenta la creencia de que en México sí puede haber justicia.' -Sergio Aguayo, profesor investigador de el Colegio de México]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/645767Thu, 24 Nov 2022 01:22:06 +0000Myrtle JerdePlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/645767 to listen full audiobooks.

Die Armee klagte sie in zweiundzwanzig Punkten im Zusammenhang mit dem unerlaubten Besitz und der Verbreitung von geheimen Dokumenten an und verurteilte sie zu fünfunddreißig Jahren Militärgefängnis. Am Tag nach ihrer Verurteilung erklärte Manning ihre Geschlechtsidentität als Frau und begann die Transition. Im Jahr 2017 verkürzte Präsident Barack Obama ihre Haftstrafe, und Chelsea Manning wurde aus dem Gefängnis entlassen. In ihren Erinnerungen erzählt Manning von ihrem Einsatz für mehr institutionelle Transparenz und Rechenschaftspflichten der Regierung und von dem Kampf um ihre Rechte als Transfrau. Sie schildert ihre schwierige Kindheit, ihre Kämpfe als Heranwachsende, was sie dazu brachte, dem Militär beizutreten, und beschreibt den unbändigen Stolz, den sie auf ihre Arbeit hatte.

Wayne Grudem stellt ein neues Konzept vor: Business selbst verherrlicht Gott, wenn es auf eine Weise betrieben wird, die Gottes Charakter und Schöpfung nachahmt. Er zeigt, dass alle Aspekte des Business, einschließlich der Themen Eigentum, Gewinn, Geld, Wettbewerb sowie Kreditaufnahme und -vergabe, Gott verherrlichen, weil sie Gottes Wesen widerspiegeln. Obwohl Grudem nicht naiv ist und weiß, wie leicht diese Aktivitäten pervertiert und als Mittel zur Sünde benutzt werden können, ist er überzeugt, dass Christen die Businesswelt nicht scheuen sollten.

On July 8th Fidel Castro arrived in Mexico to join his brother and Ernesto. When Fidel met Che 'he was already an educated revolutionary.” Remembers Castro. The great Cuban revolution against tyranny soon followed and was won chiefly because of the dedication of the Castros and Dr. Guevara.

O conflito é parte do cotidiano e deve ser considerado não como algo negativo, mas como instrumento para aperfeiçoar as relações interpessoais.

O acesso à justiça foi analisado sob uma perspectiva multidisciplinar, visando tanto a prevenção como a solução do conflito, e buscando fomentar novas reflexões na busca por mecanismos sustentáveis na solução de controvérsias. A prevenção do conflito passa por uma mudança de cultura, o que se obtém pelo estímulo a uma postura de corresponsabilidade dos litigantes, numa visão democrática da solução do conflito.

Title: Blocking Public Participation: The Use of Strategic Litigation to Silence Political Expression Author: Byron Sheldrick Narrator: Miles Meili Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 7 hours 55 minutes Release date: September 28, 2022 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: Strategic litigation against public participation (SLAPP) involves lawsuits brought by individuals, corporations, groups, or politicians to curtail political activism and expression. An increasingly large part of the political landscape in Canada, they are often launched against those protesting, boycotting, or participating in some form of political activism. A common feature of SLAPPs is that their intention is rarely to win the case or secure a remedy; rather, the suit is brought to create a chill on political expression. Blocking Public Participation examines the different types of litigation and causes of action that frequently form the basis of SLAPPs, and how these lawsuits transform political disputes into legal cases, thereby blocking political engagement. The resource imbalance between plaintiffs and defendants allows plaintiffs to tie up defendants in complex and costly legal processes. The book also examines the dangers SLAPPs pose to political expression and to the quality and integrity of our democratic political institutions. Finally, the book examines the need to regulate SLAPPs in Canada and assesses various regulatory proposals. In Canada, considerable attention has been paid to the “legalization of politics” and the impact on the Charter in diverting political activism into the judicial arena. SLAPPs, however, are an under-studied element of this process, and in their obstruction of political engagement through recourse to the courts they have profound implications for democratic practice.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/653661Wed, 28 Sep 2022 01:22:06 +0000Myrtle JerdePlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/653661 to listen full audiobooks.

Title: PAP v PAP: The Party's struggle to adapt to a changing Singapore Author: Cherian George, Donald Low Narrator: Pam Oei Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 7 hours 17 minutes Release date: March 2, 2021 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: Singapore appears to be transitioning gradually to a more competitive and contentious democracy. For now, though, the People's Action Party still controls all the levers of power. The PAP's internal dynamics will be the primary determinant of its continued viability. This anthology of essays expands on one dimension of this inner struggle: between a conservative attachment to what worked in the past, and a boldly progressive vision for the future. The authors argue that a reformed PAP — comfortable with political competition and more committed to justice and equality — would be good for Singapore, and serve the long-term interests of the party. An adaptive PAP, buttressed with stronger democratic legitimacy, would also maintain one of Singapore's most important strengths: a strong consensus on the virtues of an expert-led, elite government. Only by strengthening democratic practices and norms can Singapore maintain its edge in a world pulled apart by identity politics, populist nationalism and nativism, and an erosion of trust in public institutions. About the Authors Cherian George is professor of media studies at Hong Kong Baptist University, and associate dean for research at its School of Communication. His previous books on Singapore include Air-Conditioned Nation Revisited (2020) and Freedom From the Press: Journalism and State Power in Singapore (2012). He worked as a political journalist for The Straits Times in the 1990s before pursuing his PhD in communication from Stanford University. Donald Low is senior lecturer and professor of practice in public policy at Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, the director of the university's Institute for Emerging Market Studies, and the director of Leadership and Public Policy Executive Education. He is the author of Hard Choices: Challenging the Singapore Consensus (2014). Before joining academia, he served nearly 15 years in the Singapore government. PRAISE FOR PAP v PAP 'A book written with eagle-eyed clarity about much-needed reforms in the Singapore political system. A must-read for anyone genuinely concerned about the future of Singapore.' — Remy Choo Zheng Xi, lawyer and civil society activist. 'You can disagree with the content but you cannot, in good faith, fault them for their clear intention to keep the discussion as academic, civil and respectful as possible. They identify themselves with 'liberal' and 'progressive' views — which will provoke others to view them through the lens of contempt. The language of contempt has already entered into our political conversation, but my hope is that we are not so far gone in partisan politics that we cannot still find it in ourselves to take off the lens of contempt and try on the lens of sincere respect again.' — Kuik Shiao-Yin, former Nominated Member of Parliament and co-founder of The Thought Collective. 'PAP v. PAP is a forensic and fascinating collection on Singapore's future policy dilemmas, from two of its most thoughtful and challenging thinkers. Produced in a spirit of constructive criticism and written in an easy accessible style, it makes for invaluable reading for anyone interested in Asia's greatest economic success story — and indeed for the future political economy of Asia itself.' — James Crabtree, author of The Billionaire Raj. © 2020 by Cherian George and Donald Low.

Title: [German] - Inside AfD (Ungekürzt) Author: Franziska Schreiber Narrator: Franziska Schreiber Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 6 hours 36 minutes Release date: January 11, 2019 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: Seit September ist die AfD mit 92 Abgeordneten im Bundestag vertreten und inszeniert einen medienwirksamen Konfrontationskurs zu den etablierten Parteien. Doch was treibt die Partei hinter den Kulissen an - und ist die Fremdenfeindlichkeit eine geteilte Grundposition aller? Niemand kann darüber besser Auskunft geben als Franziska Schreiber, die noch 2017 im Vorstand der Jungen Alternativen, der Jugendorganisation der AfD, saß. Sie spricht Klartext über Antrieb, Ziele und Schwächen der AfD-Führung um Alexander Gauland sowie deren radikale Hetzer wie Björn Höcke. Die heute 27-Jährige machte eine steile Karriere. Innerhalb eines Jahres wird sie die Vorsitzende der Jungen Alternativen in Sachsen. 2017 ist sie im Bundesvorstand angekommen. Gegen den immer stärker und radikaler werdenden Flügel um Björn Höcke bezieht sie an Frauke Petrys Seite Stellung. Entsetzt von den Aussagen, die innerhalb der AfD inzwischen üblich und akzeptiert sind, unternimmt sie mit anderen liberalen Mitgliedern im März 2017 einen letzten Versuch zur Kurskorrektur auf dem Bundesparteitag in Köln.

Title: [German] - Inside AfD (Ungekürzt) Author: Franziska Schreiber Narrator: Franziska Schreiber Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 6 hours 36 minutes Release date: January 11, 2019 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: Seit September ist die AfD mit 92 Abgeordneten im Bundestag vertreten und inszeniert einen medienwirksamen Konfrontationskurs zu den etablierten Parteien. Doch was treibt die Partei hinter den Kulissen an - und ist die Fremdenfeindlichkeit eine geteilte Grundposition aller? Niemand kann darüber besser Auskunft geben als Franziska Schreiber, die noch 2017 im Vorstand der Jungen Alternativen, der Jugendorganisation der AfD, saß. Sie spricht Klartext über Antrieb, Ziele und Schwächen der AfD-Führung um Alexander Gauland sowie deren radikale Hetzer wie Björn Höcke. Die heute 27-Jährige machte eine steile Karriere. Innerhalb eines Jahres wird sie die Vorsitzende der Jungen Alternativen in Sachsen. 2017 ist sie im Bundesvorstand angekommen. Gegen den immer stärker und radikaler werdenden Flügel um Björn Höcke bezieht sie an Frauke Petrys Seite Stellung. Entsetzt von den Aussagen, die innerhalb der AfD inzwischen üblich und akzeptiert sind, unternimmt sie mit anderen liberalen Mitgliedern im März 2017 einen letzten Versuch zur Kurskorrektur auf dem Bundesparteitag in Köln. Doch der Versuch scheitert. Es wird Zeit für eine Distanzierung.

Title: [French] - Le manifeste du parti communiste Author: Karl Marx Narrator: Pierre-François Garel Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 1 hour 23 minutes Release date: June 14, 2003 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: Publié en 1848, Le manifeste du Parti communiste est antérieur à toutes les obédiences auxquelles on l'associe machinalement. Marx suit les principes du mouvement dialectique hégélien et l'applique à la politique. On retrouve ici le renversement célèbre du maître et de l'esclave, où c'est finalement le « prolétaire » qui par sa force de production est en position dominante dans la société. Mais cette domination naturelle lui est refusée, il faut donc qu'il la revendique à travers une révolution.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/655069Sat, 14 Jun 2003 01:22:06 +0000Myrtle JerdePlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/655069 to listen full audiobooks.
