The earliest scientists ground and processed minerals in a centuries-long quest for a mythic stone that would prolong human life.

English | ASIN: B0BVXPNSNL | 2023 | 5 hours and 44 minutes | M4B@128 kbps | 312 MB
Author: Sylvia Barbara Soberton
Narrator: Naomi Madelin

The aspects of Anne Boleyn's life and death are fiercely debated by historians, yet her ladies-in-waiting remain an understudied topic. Much emphasis is usually put on Anne's relationships with the men in her life: her suitors, her royal husband, her father and brother, and her putative lovers who were executed on May 17, 1536. By concentrating on a previously neglected area of Anne Boleyn's female household, this book seeks to identify the women who served Anne and investigate what roles ladies-in-waiting played in this Queen's household.

A Birding Journey at Home and Beyond. It began with a flutter of yellow feathers flitting through the trees, casting beams of sunshine and promise that burst through her kitchen window. This was her sign to look up. As a licensed therapist, Tammah Watts knew that she needed to seek and accept hope, love, and support to overcome her chronic pain and cultivate resilience. But she could not predict that the little yellow bird would put her on the path to healing by fostering a powerful connection with birds and the experience of birding.

Introduction to Internal Family Systems [Audiobook]
Free Download Introduction to Internal Family Systems (Audiobook)
English | ASIN: B0BVJTG33Z | 2023 | 4 hours and 3 minutes | M4B@128 kbps | 228 MB
Author: Richard C. Schwartz
Narrator: Wollman Craig, Katherine Allee, Emily Pike Stewart, Brock D. Vickers

A highly accessible introduction to a therapeutic approach that brings our inner "parts" into harmony and allows our core Self to lead. We're all familiar with self-talk, self-doubt, self-judgment-yet most of us still view ourselves as if we have one uniform mind. Dr. Richard Schwartz's breakthrough was recognizing that we each contain an "internal family" of distinct parts-and that treating these parts with curiosity, respect, and empathy vastly expands our capacity to heal. Over the past two decades, Internal Family Systems (IFS) has transformed the practice of psychotherapy. With Introduction to Internal Family Systems, the creator of IFS presents the ideal layperson's guide for understanding this empowering, effective, and non-pathologizing approach to self-discovery and healing.

Author: Alistair Moffat
Narrator: Derek Perkins

Fourteen centuries ago, Irish saints brought the Word of God to the Hebrides and Scotland's Atlantic shore. These "white martyrs" sought solitude, remoteness, even harshness, in places apart from the world where they could fast, pray, and move closer to an understanding of God: places where they could see angels. Columba, who founded the famous monastery at Iona, was the most well-known of these courageous men who rowed their curraghs towards danger and uncertainty in a pagan land, but the many others are now largely forgotten by history.

Imitation Democracy The Development of Russia's Post-Soviet Political System [Audiobook]
Free Download Imitation Democracy: The Development of Russia's Post-Soviet Political System (Audiobook)
English | ASIN: B0BWGF7HSL | 2023 | 6 hours and 9 minutes | M4B@128 kbps | 324 MB
Author: Dmitrii Furman
Narrator: Rich Miller

After the collapse of the Soviet Union, Russia under Yeltsin and Putin implemented a political system of "imitation democracy," marked by "a huge disparity between formal constitutional principles and the reality of authoritarian rule." How did this system take shape, how else might it have developed, and what are the prospects for re-envisioning it more democratically in the future? These questions animate Dmitrii Furman's Imitation Democracy, a welcome antidote to books that blandly decry Putin as an omnipotent dictator, without considering his platforms, constituencies, and sources of power. With extensive public opinion polling drawn from throughout the late- and post-Soviet period, Furman offers a definitive account of the formation of the modern Russian political system, casting it into powerful relief through comparisons with other post-Soviet states. Peopled with grey technocrats, warring oligarchs, patriots, and provocateurs, Furman's narrative details the struggles among partisan factions, and the waves of public sentiment, that shaped modern Russia's political landscape, culminating in Putin's third presidential term, which resolves the contradiction between the "form" and "content" of imitation democracy, "the formal dependence of power on elections and the actual dependence of elections on power."

Author: Debra Lee
Narrator: Debra Lee

In this exciting debut, legendary leader and former CEO of Black Entertainment Television Networks, Debra Lee, will show listeners how she climbed to the top of the entertainment industry and broke through the glass ceilings of gender and race. Part memoir, part career advice book, Lee will impart key insights, share hard-earned lessons, and tell the story of how she came to be the leader of a major enterprise and the "first" in many rooms. Through vivid storytelling, she'll show listeners how she made her own way in the world from day one, from her childhood in the South and daughter of a military officer, the Black Power movement, her years at Brown University and Harvard Law and then her ascent into law and ultimately the building and flourishing as the second CEO of Black Entertainment Television Networks (BET). From being a shy "good girl" growing up in Greensboro to gracing major stages and having personal friends like President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama, Lee writes about the invisibility she felt in rooms where she was the only woman or only Black person to the extreme visibility that she gained at BETs Networks' helm.

English | October 15, 2019 | ASIN: B07Z428NNL | M4B@128 kbps | 4h 13m | 229 MB
Authors: Brett Owens, Tom Jacobs | Narrator: Tom Jacobs
The Fed today is not our friend. Its "low rates forever" policy means we must look elsewhere for yield. Dividend-paying stocks don't help. Blue chips don't pay more than 2% or 3%. On a $1 million portfolio, that's less than $30,000 in annual income. Not enough. There's a better way. Income investing experts Brett Owens and Tom Jacobs show you how to safely double, triple and even quadruple these yields. Turn that 2% that stocks pay into 6%, 7% and even 8% (for $80,000 on that million bucks) without doing anything risky.
In this book, Brett and Tom will take you beyond Wall Street's "blue chip BS" and create a portfolio that can actually generate meaningful income. It's a "no withdrawal portfolio" that relies entirely on dividend income and leaves your principal 100% intact.
