Author: Barbara Schroeder, Clark Fogg
Narrator: Rich Miller

Acid-throwing brides, axe-murdering maids, mysterious deaths at Greystone mansion, and the real story of what happened the night a superstar publicist was gunned down on Sunset Boulevard; just a few of the many stories in this "Rip-roaring" story featuring the first 100 years of grand times and grand crimes in the world's glamour capital of Beverly Hills. With unprecedented access to police files, coauthors Barbara Schroeder, an award-winning investigative journalist, and Clark Fogg, the lead CSI investigator for the BHPD, reveal never-before-scene details of dramas involving secret shadow wives, murdered studio executives, and a new theory on who really killed mobster Bugsy Siegel.

Author: Elio Morillo
Narrator: Timothy Andrés Pabon

The engineer known as the "space mechanic" speaks to both our future and past in this breathless memoir of his journey from Ecuador to NASA and beyond. Elio Morillo's life is abruptly spun out of orbit when economic collapse and personal circumstances compel his mother to flee Ecuador for the United States in search of a better future for her son. His itinerant childhood sets into motion a migration that will ultimately carry Elio to the farthest expanse of human endeavor: space. Overcoming a history of systemic adversity and inequality in public education, Elio forged ahead on a journey as indebted to his galactic dreams as to a loving mother whose sacrifices safeguarded the ground beneath his feet. Today, Elio is helping drive human expansion into the solar system and promote the future of human innovation-from AI and robotics to space infrastructure and equitable access. The Boy Who Reached the Stars is both a cosmic and intimate memoir spun from a constellation of memories, reflections, and intrepid curiosity, as thoroughly luminous as the stars above.

Organized by decade and featuring essays from the magazine's legendary roster of contributors, this collection includes incisive commentary on the stars whose rise from Texas to the world stage has been meteoric, as well as the lesser-known individuals who have been toiling on the sidelines, quietly and intentionally shaping the way we think and talk about the Texas that exists today.

English | ASIN: B0BJ12Y4XM | 2023 | 8 hours and 5 minutes | M4B@64 kbps | 210 MB
Author: Rainesford Stauffer
Narrator: Jess Nahikian

An examination, dismantling, and reconstruction of ambition, where burnout is the symptom of our holiest sin: the lonely way we strive. Ambition-the want, the hunger, the need to achieve-is woven into America's fabric from the first colonization to capitalism. From our first gold star assignment to acceptance at the "right" college to hustle and grinding our lives, we celebrate our drive, even as we gatekeep who is permitted to strive-and how visibly. Even as we burn out. When we can't even. When we know: work won't love us back.
