Free Download Resisters: How Ordinary Jews Fought Persecution in Hitler's Germany (Audiobook)
English | ASIN: B0CGBRTZMK | 2023 | 6 hours and 27 minutes | M4B@128 kbps | 358 MB
Author: Wolf Gruner
Narrator: David Colacci
Drawing on twelve years of research in dozens of archives in Austria, Germany, Israel, and the United States, this book tells the story of five Jewish people-a merchant, a homemaker, a real estate broker, and two teenagers-who bravely resisted persecution and defended themselves in Nazi Germany. These stories have not been told until now, and each case is one of many, as Gruner shows by resurfacing similar accounts of Jewish refusal to accept persecution and violence in Germany and Austria between 1933 and 1943, upending the notion of passive Jews, and expanding the concept of resistance.

Free Download Pushout: The Criminalization of Black Girls in Schools by Monique W. Morris, Kristyl Dawn Tift, Tantor Audio
English | 2016 | ISBN: N/A | ASIN: B01M046D9X | Format: MP3 / Bitrate: 128 Kbps / 8 hours and 54 minutes | 122 Mb
Fifteen-year-old Diamond stopped going to school the day she was expelled for lashing out at peers who constantly harassed and teased her for something everyone on the staff had missed: she was being trafficked for sex. After months on the run, she was arrested and sent to a detention center for violating a court order to attend school. Just 16 percent of female students, Black girls make up more than one-third of all girls with a school-related arrest.
The first trade book to tell these untold stories, Pushout exposes a world of confined potential and supports the growing movement to address the policies, practices, and cultural illiteracy that push countless students out of school and into unhealthy, unstable, and often unsafe futures. For four years, Monique W. Morris chronicled the experiences of Black girls across the country whose intricate lives are misunderstood, highly judged - by teachers, administrators, and the justice system - and degraded by the very institutions charged with helping them flourish. Morris shows how, despite obstacles, Black girls still find ways to breathe remarkable dignity into their lives in classrooms, juvenile facilities, and beyond.

Free Download Plantagenet Princesses: The Daughters of Eleanor of Aquitaine and Henry II (Audiobook)
English | ASIN: B0CFZP74KZ | 2023 | 10 hours and 5 minutes | M4B@64 kbps | 284 MB
Author: Douglas Boyd
Narrator: Gareth Richards
A unique look at the lives of two daughters that highlights the dichotomy of lives of royal women, as both daughters and mothers of kings, who also knew both prison and power. The names of few medieval monarchs and their queens are better known than Eleanor of Aquitaine, uniquely queen of France and queen of England, and her second husband Henry II. Although academically labeled "medieval," their era was the violent transition from the Dark Ages, when countries' borders were defined with fire and sword.

Free Download Passionate Mothers, Powerful Sons: The Lives of Jennie Jerome Churchill and Sara Delano Roosevelt (Audiobook)
English | ASIN: B0C1PW92BV | 2023 | 13 hours and 55 minutes | M4B@64 kbps | 406 MB
Author: Charlotte Gray
Narrator: Allyson Ryan
A captivating dual biography of two famous women whose sons would change the course of the 20th century-by award-winning historian Charlotte Gray. Born into upper-class America in the same year, 1854, Sara Delano (later to become the mother of Franklin Delano Roosevelt) and Jennie Jerome (later to become the mother of Winston Churchill) refused to settle into predictable, sheltered lives as little-known wives to prominent men. Instead, both women concentrated much of their energies on enabling their sons to reach the epicenter of political power on two continents. In the mid-19th century, the British Empire was at its height, France's Second Empire flourished, and the industrial vigor of the United States of America was catapulting the republic towards the Gilded Age. Sara and Jennie, raised with privilege but subject to the constraints of women's roles at the time, learned how to take control of their destinies-Sara in the prosperous Hudson Valley, and Jennie in the glittering world of Imperial London.

Social anxiety is the perception that something is wrong with us or that we're deficient in some way in a group setting. And unless we work hard to conceal that perceived flaw, it will be revealed, and people will judge or reject us for it. Most of us know what it's like to have a socially anxious moment now and then. But for millions upon millions of people, at some point in life, social anxiety is so serious that it gets in the way of living the life we want to live. Social anxiety disorder is the third most diagnosed disorder.

Free Download Our Man in Charleston: Britain's Secret Agent in the Civil War South by Christopher Dickey, Antony Ferguson, HighBridge, a division of Recorded Books
English | 2015 | ISBN: N/A | ASIN: B011AJ3SI0 | Format: M4B / Bitrate: 64 Kbps, 10 hours and 49 minutes | 294 Mb
The unlikely man at the roiling center of this intrigue was Robert Bunch, an American-born Englishman who had maneuvered his way to the position of British consul in Charleston, South Carolina, and grew to loathe slavery and the righteousness of its practitioners. Bunch used his unique perch and boundless ambition to become a key player, sending reams of dispatches to the home government and eventually becoming the Crown's best secret source on the Confederacy. But doing so required living a double life. To his Charleston neighbors, Bunch was increasingly a pillar of Southern society. But to the British government, he was a strident abolitionist, eviscerating Southern dissembling on plans regarding the slave trade.
Our Man in Charleston is a masterfully told story of an unknown crusader. Award-winning author Christopher Dickey locates Consul Bunch as the key figure among Englishmen in America. Determined to ensure the triumph of morality in the inevitable march to civil war, he helped determine the fate of a nation. Featuring a cast of remarkable characters, Our Man in Charleston also captures a decisive moment in Anglo-American history: the pitched battle between those who wished to reopen the floodgates of bondage and misery and those who wished to dam the tide forever.

Free Download On the Farm: Robert William Pickton and the Tragic Story of Vancouver's Missing Women by Stevie Cameron, Erin Moon, Vintage Canada
English | 2022 | ISBN: N/A | ASIN: B09WGVG8L9 | Format: M4B | 25 hours and 58 minutes | 1.38 Gb
Verteran investigative journalist Stevie Cameron first began following the story of missing women in 1998, when the odd newspaper piece appeared chronicling the disappearances of drug-addicted sex trade workers from Vancouver's notorious Downtown Eastside. It was not until February 2002 that pig farmer Robert William Pickton would be arrested, and 2008 before he was found guilty, on six counts of second-degree murder. These counts were appealed and in 2010, the Supreme Court of Canada rendered its conclusion. The guilty verdict was upheld, and finally this unprecedented tale of true crime could be told.
Covering the case of one of North America's most prolific serial killers gave Stevie Cameron access not only to the story as it unfolded over many years in two British Columbia courthouses, but also to information unknown to the police-and not in the transcripts of their interviews with Pickton-such as from Pickton's long-time best friend, Lisa Yelds, and from several women who survived terrifying encounters with him. Cameron uncovers what was behind law enforcement's refusal to believe that a serial killer was at work.
