Author: Richard Toye | Narrator: Michael Page
A charmer and a bully, Winston Churchill was driven by a belief that the English were a superior race whose goals went beyond individual interests to offer an enduring good to the entire world. No better example exists than Churchill's resolve to stand alone against a more powerful Hitler in 1940 while the world's democracies fell to their knees.
But there was also the Churchill who frequently inveighed against human rights, nationalism, and constitutional progress - the imperialist who could celebrate racism and believed India was unsuited to democracy.

It was two summers before D-Day, and the Allies realized that they were in dire need of underwater intelligence if they wanted to stand a chance of launching another beach invasion and of winning the war. Led by the controversial biologists J. B. S. Haldane and Dr. Helen Spurway, an ingenious team of ragtag scientists worked out of homemade labs during the London Blitz.

Free Download Gerald Epstein, Kent Klineman (Narrator), "Busting the Bankers' Club: Finance for the Rest of Us"
English | ASIN: B0CYQY5CSM | 2024 | MP3@64 kbps | ~13:14:00 | 364 MB
An eye-opening account of the failures of our financial system, the sources of its staying power, and the path to meaningful economic reform.
Bankers brought the global economic system to its knees in 2007 and nearly did the same in 2020. Both times, the US government bailed out the banks and left them in control. How can we end this cycle of trillion-dollar bailouts and make finance work for the rest of us? Busting the Bankers' Club confronts the powerful people and institutions that benefit from our broken financial system-and the struggle to create an alternative.
Drawing from decades of research on the history, economics, and politics of banking, economist Gerald Epstein shows that any meaningful reform will require breaking up this club of politicians, economists, lawyers, and CEOs who sustain the status quo. Thankfully, there are thousands of activists, experts, and public officials who are working to do just that. Clear-eyed and hopeful, Busting the Bankers' Club centers the individuals and groups fighting for a financial system that will better serve the needs of the marginalized and support important transitions to a greener, fairer economy.

Free Download Christian L. Hart, Drew A. Curtis, Justin Price (Narrator), "Big Liars: What Psychological Science Tells Us About Lying and How You Can Avoid Being Duped (APA Life- Tools Series)"
English | ASIN: B0CYDTV3YJ | 2024 | MP3@64 kbps | ~09:36:00 | 264 MB
This book investigates the science behind "big liars"-those rare people who use lies as their principal way of navigating life.
Most people are mostly honest, most of the time. And there aren't that many big, pants-on-fire liars in the population overall. But just a few big liars can have an outsized impact on the people around them-ruining personal relationships, bankrupting businesses, and even, when they attain political power, undermining the fabric of society.
Big Liars explores this small but dangerous group through the lens of psychological science. Fascinating new research gives us insight into the nature of dishonesty and dishonest people, explaining who lies, what types of people lie a lot, how often people lie, how big liars are created, how they operate, how we can recognize them, and how we can avoid being victimized by them. This book has crucial implications for mental health treatment, as well as our efforts to grapple with the effects of big liars-and their big lies-on social movements and society as a whole.

Author: David Christian, The Great Courses
Narrator: David Christian
How is it possible for the disciplines of cosmology, geology, anthropology, biology, and history to fit together? These 48 lectures answer that question by weaving a single story from accounts of the past developed by a variety of scholarly disciplines. The result is a story stretching from the origins of the universe to the present day and beyond, in which human history is seen as part of the history of our Earth and biosphere, and the Earth's history, in turn, is seen as part of the history of the universe.
