Free Download Unlikely Heroes: Franklin Roosevelt, His Four Lieutenants, and the World They Made (Audiobook)
English | ASIN: B0BHNNWDS7 | 2023 | 19 hours and 9 minutes | MP3@64 kbps | 526 MB
Author: Derek Leebaert
Narrator: L. J. Ganser
Drawing on new materials, Unlikely Heroes constructs an entirely fresh understanding of FDR and his presidency by spotlighting the powerful, equally wounded figures whom he raised up to confront the Depression, then to beat the Axis. Only four people served at the top echelon of President Franklin Roosevelt's Administration from the frightening early months of spring 1933 until he died in April 1945, on the cusp of wartime victory. These lieutenants composed the tough, constrictive, long-term core of government. They built the great institutions being raised against the Depression, implemented the New Deal, and they were pivotal to winning World War II.

Free Download Toxic Exposure: The True Story Behind the Monsanto Trials and the Search for Justice (Audiobook)
English | ASIN: B0BP9FQ6VH | 2023 | 10 hours and 39 minutes | M4B@64 kbps | 292 MB
Author: Chadi Nabhan
Narrator: Chadi Nabhan
A behind-the-scenes look inside three key trials involving Monsanto's weed killer Roundup, cancer, and the search for justice-written by an expert witness medical oncologist who lived it all. For years, Monsanto declared that their product Roundup, the world's most widely used weed killer, was safe. 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, is 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 non-Hodgkin 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).

Free Download The Wine-Dark Sea Within: A Turbulent History of Blood (Audiobook)
English | June 07, 2022 | ASIN: B09ZKQR7YC | M4B@64 kbps | 11h 40m | 347 MB
Author: Dr. Dhun Sethna | Narrator: Chinua Hawk
A revisionist history of medicine, in which blood plays the starring role
Inspired by Homer's description of the ebb and flow of the "wine dark sea," the ancient Greeks conceived a back-and-forth movement of blood. That false notion, perpetuated by the influential Roman physician Galen, prevailed for fifteen hundred years until William Harvey proved that blood circulates: the heart pumps blood in one direction through the arteries and it returns through the veins. Harvey's discovery revolutionized the life sciences by making possible an entirely new quantitative understanding of the cardiovascular system, a way of thinking on which many of our lifesaving medical interventions today depend.

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.

Free Download The Roman Triumph (Audiobook)
English | ASIN: B0BVXKL3X3 | 2023 | 13 hours and 10 minutes | M4B@64 kbps | 348 MB
Author: Mary Beard
Narrator: Lucy Rayner
It followed every major military victory in ancient Rome: the successful general drove through the streets to the temple of Jupiter on the Capitoline Hill; behind him streamed his raucous soldiers; in front were his prisoners, as well as the booty he'd captured, from enemy ships and precious statues to plants and animals from the conquered territory. Occasionally there was so much on display that the show lasted two or three days. A radical reexamination of this most extraordinary of ancient ceremonies, this book explores the magnificence of the Roman triumph, but also its darker side. What did it mean when the axle broke under Julius Caesar's chariot?
