Free Download Bang Bang Crash (Audiobook)
English | ASIN: B0BVX9ZZ1M | 2023 | 5 hours and 38 minutes | M4B@128 kbps | 314 MB
Author: Nic Brown
Narrator: Nic Brown
In the mid-1990s, fresh out of high school, Nic Brown was living his childhood dream as a rock and roll drummer. Signing a major label record deal, playing big shows, hitting the charts, giving interviews in Rolling Stone, appearing on The Tonight Show-what could be better for a young artist? But contrary to expectations, getting a shot at his artistic dream early in life was a destabilizing shock. The more he achieved, the more accolades that came his way, the less sure Brown became about his path. Only a few years into a promising musical career, he discovered the crux of his discontent: he was never meant to remain behind the drums. In fact, his true artistic path lay in a radically different direction entirely: he decided to become a writer, embarking on a journey leading him to attend the Iowa Writers' Workshop, publish novels and short stories, and teach literature to college students across the country. Bang Bang Crash tells the story of Nic Brown's unusual journey to gain new strength, presence of mind, and sense of perspective, enabling him to discover an even greater life of artistic fulfillment.

English | ISBN: 9781783967476 | 2023 | 9 hours and 18 minutes | M4B@64 kbps | 264 MB
Author: Catherine Ashton
Narrator: Catherine Ashton
So much of modern-day diplomacy still takes place behind closed doors, away from cameras and prying eyes. So what does this vital role really look like in today's world - and what does it take to do it well? From 2009 to 2014, Cathy Ashton was the EU's first High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security, effectively Europe's foreign policy supremo responsible for coordinating the EU's response to international crises. Arriving in Brussels as a relative novice to international diplomacy, she faced the challenge of representing the views and values of 28 nations during one of the most turbulent times in living memory. Decades-old certainties were swept away in days. Hope rose and fell, often in a matter of hours.

Free Download A Stone Is Most Precious Where It Belongs: A Memoir of Uyghur Exile, Hope, and Survival (Audiobook)
English | ASIN: B0B8345B7Y | 2023 | 8 hours and 45 minutes | M4B@64 kbps | 251 MB
Author: Gulchehra Hoja
Narrator: Sarah Suzuk
This extraordinary memoir shares an insight into the lives of the Uyghurs, a people and culture being systematically destroyed by China-and a woman who gave up everything to help her people. In February 2018, twenty-four members of Gulchehra Hoja's family disappeared overnight. Her crime - and thus that of her family - was her award-winning investigations on the plight of her people, the Uyghurs, whose existence and culture is being systematically destroyed by the Chinese government. A Stone is Most Precious Where it Belongs is Gulchehra's stunning memoir, taking us into the everyday world of life under Chinese rule in East Turkestan (more formally as the Xinjiang Autonomous Region of China), from her idyllic childhood to its modern nightmare. The grandchild of a renowned musician and the daughter of an esteemed archaeologist, Gulchehra grew up with her people's culture and history running through her veins. She showed her gifts early on as a dancer, actress, and storyteller, putting her on a path to success as a major television star. Slowly though, she began to understand what China was doing to her people, as well as her own complicity as a journalist. As her rising fame and growing political awakening coincided, she made it her mission to expose the crimes Beijing is committing in the far reaches of its nation, no matter the cost.

Free Download Your Consent Is Not Required: The Rise in Psychiatric Detentions, Forced Treatment, and Abusive Guardianships (Audiobook)
English | February 07, 2023 | ASIN: B0BTMX5G6R | M4B@128 kbps | 13h 32m | 742 MB
Author: Rob Wipond | Narrator: Jonathan Todd Ross
Asylums are supposed to be in the past. However, though the buildings were closed, many of the practices lived on. In fact, more law-abiding Americans today are being involuntarily committed and forcibly treated "for their own good" than at any time in history.
In the first work of investigative journalism in decades to give a comprehensive view into contemporary psychiatric incarceration and forced interventions, Your Consent Is Not Required exposes how rising numbers of people from many walks of life are being subjected against their will to surveillance, indefinite detention, and powerful tranquilizing drugs, restraints, seclusion, and electroshock.

Win Every Argument shows how anyone can communicate with confidence, rise above the tit-for-tats on social media, and triumph in a successful and productive debate in the real world. MSNBC's Mehdi Hasan isn't one to avoid arguments. He relishes them as the lifeblood of democracy and the only surefire way to establish the truth. Arguments help us solve problems, uncover new ideas we might not have considered, and nudge our disagreements toward mutual understanding.

Free Download Who Does That Bitch Think She Is?: Doris Fish and the Rise of Drag (Audiobook)
English | ASIN: B0B848F22Q | 2023 | 10 hours and 29 minutes | MP3@64 kbps | 289 MB
Author: Craig Seligman
Narrator: Mela Lee
An exciting new history of drag told through the life of the remarkable, flawed, and singular Doris Fish. In the 1970s, gay men and lesbians were openly despised and drag queens scared the public. Yet that was the era when Doris Fish (born Philip Mills in 1952) painted and padded his way to stardom. He was a leader of the generation that prepared the world not just for drag queens on TV but for a society that welcomes and even celebrates queer people. How did we get from there to here? In Who Does That Bitch Think She Is? Craig Seligman looks at Doris's short but overstuffed life as a way to provide some answers. There were effectively three Dorises-the quiet visual artist, the glorious drag queen, and the hunky male prostitute who supported the other two. He started performing in Sydney in 1972 as a member of Sylvia and the Synthetics, a psycho troupe that represented the first anarchic flowering of queer creative energy in the post-Stonewall era.

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.
