![Asian Armageddon, 1944-45 [Audiobook]](https://i115.fastpic.org/big/2021/0924/0e/1fbc99c68ea220683db4fd201798db0e.jpeg) English | ASIN: B09FM6VZ5J | 2021 | 8 hours and 24 minutes |MP3|M4B | 231 MB The last installment of the War in the Far East trilogy, Asian Armageddon 1944-1945, continues and completes the narrative of the first two volumes, describing how a US-led coalition of nations battled Japan into submission through a series of cataclysmic encounters. Leyte Gulf, the biggest naval battle ever, was testimony to the paramount importance of controlling the ocean, as was the fact that the US Navy carried out the only successful submarine campaign in history, reducing Japan's military and merchant navies to shadows of the former selves. Meanwhile, fighting continued in disparate geographic conditions on land, with the chaos of Imphal, the inferno of Manila, and the carnage of Iwo Jima forming some of the milestones on the bloody road to peace, sealed in Tokyo Bay in September 1945. It was a world where the stage was set for the Cold War and for international rivalries that last to this day, and a new constellation of powers emerged. ![Ambition For What [Audiobook]](https://i115.fastpic.org/big/2021/0924/a0/0e63b805f6d140a203a2e5a0675fd5a0.jpeg) English | ASIN: B09FBXHGL1 | 2021 | 10 hours and 41 minutes |MP3|M4B | 294 MB Ambition is a dominant force in for human civilization, driving its greatest achievements and most horrific abuses.

This mixed record raises obvious concerns about how we can channel ambition in the most productive directions. In Ambition, Deborah L. Rhode offers a comprehensive and engaging survey of the topic that focuses in particular on the nature of ambition in contemporary American life. ![All the News That's Fit to Click How Metrics Are Transforming the Work of Journalists [Audiobook]](https://i115.fastpic.org/big/2021/0924/9c/2db12277b82dab68ed86fe3ba02cfe9c.jpeg) English | ASIN: B09FYLKZKN | 2021 | 8 hours and 53 minutes |MP3|M4B | 245 MB Journalists today are inundated with data about which stories attract the most clicks, likes, comments, and shares. These metrics influence what stories are written, how news is promoted, and even which journalists get hired and fired. Do metrics make journalists more accountable to the public? Or are these data tools the contemporary equivalent of a stopwatch wielded by a factory boss, worsening newsroom working conditions and journalism quality? Caitlin Petre takes listeners behind the scenes at the New York Times, Gawker, and the prominent news analytics company Chartbeat to explore how performance metrics are transforming the work of journalism. ![Accomplishing the Impossible Leadership That Launched Revolutionary Change [Audiobook]](https://i115.fastpic.org/big/2021/0924/2c/bdcd90d0e0f8a6f8ffce12e133db232c.jpeg) English | ASIN: B09FN9NXT8 | 2021 | 7 hours and 43 minutes |MP3|M4B | 212 MB A journey back in time to learn to be revolutionary leaders and managers!

What, in other words, does it mean to be diagnosed with a "mental illness"? In his clear, empathetic style, Jonathan Foiles, walks us through these and other troubling examples of bias in mental health, placing them in context of past blunders in the history of psychiatry and the DSM.
