Famed across the known world, jealously guarded by private collectors, built up over centuries, destroyed in a single day, ornamented with gold leaf and frescoes - the history of the library is rich, varied, and stuffed full of incident. ![]() English | ASIN: B09HL2ZTK6 | 2021 | 14 hours and 17 minutes |MP3|M4B | 392 MB There are two kinds of knowledge law school teaches: legal rules on the one hand, and tools for thinking about legal problems on the other. Although the tools are far more interesting and useful than the rules, they tend to be neglected in favor of other aspects of the curriculum. In The Legal Analyst, Ward Farnsworth brings together in one place all of the most powerful of those tools for thinking about law. ![]() English | ASIN: B09KM8W4YK | 2021 | 12 hours and 49 minutes |MP3|M4B | 699 MB From the New York Times best-selling author, a searing follow-up that explores the terrifying next stages of the opioid epidemic and the quiet yet ardent stories of community repair. Sam Quinones traveled from Mexico to main streets across the US to create Dreamland, a groundbreaking portrait of the opioid epidemic that awakened the nation. As the nation struggled to put back the pieces, Quinones was among the first to see the dangers that lay ahead: synthetic drugs and a new generation of kingpins whose product could be made in Magic Bullet blenders. In fentanyl, traffickers landed a painkiller a hundred times more powerful than morphine. ![]() English | ASIN: B0915LSK97 | 2021 | 5 hours and 17 minutes |MP3|M4B | 146 MB Clear and concise steps to develop the confidence and mental edge that sets you apart as a trailblazing leader - the same approach thousands of professional athletes have used to become champions.

But when Zimbabwe's President Robert Mugabe launched his violent program to reclaim White-owned land and Rogers' parents were caught in the cross fire, everything changed. ![]() English | ASIN: B09BH2WR38 | 2021 | 36 hours and 2 minutes |MP3|M4B | 984 MB The last king of America, George III, has been ridiculed as a complete disaster who frittered away the colonies and went mad in his old age. The truth is much more nuanced and fascinating - and will completely change the way listeners and historians view his reign and legacy. Most Americans dismiss George III as a buffoon - a heartless and terrible monarch with few, if any, redeeming qualities. The best-known modern interpretation of him is Jonathan Groff's preening, spitting, and pompous take in Hamilton, Lin-Manuel Miranda's Broadway masterpiece. But this deeply unflattering characterization is rooted in the prejudiced and brilliantly persuasive opinions of 18th-century revolutionaries like Thomas Paine and Thomas Jefferson, who needed to make the king appear evil in order to achieve their own political aims. ![]() English | ASIN: B09MGCQZFR | 2021 | 20 hours and 50 minutes |MP3|M4B | 572 MB The last and longest war of classical antiquity was fought in the early seventh century. It was ideologically charged and fought along the full length of the Persian-Roman frontier, drawing in all the available resources and great powers of the steppe world. The conflict raged on an unprecedented scale, and its end brought the classical phase of history to a close. Despite all this, it has left a conspicuous gap in the history of warfare. This book aims to finally fill that gap. ![]() English | 2017 |MP3|M4B | ASIN: B071G1W39N | Duration: 10:42 h | 294 MB Helen Rappaport / Narrated by Anne Flosnik ![]() English | ASIN: B09KF44G5H | 2021 | 9 hours and 59 minutes |MP3|M4B | 274 MB Based on three case studies from the Middle East, The Land beyond the Border advances an innovative theoretical framework for the study of state expansions and state contractions. Johannes Becke argues that state expansion can be theorized according to four basic ideal types - a form of patronage (patronization), the imposition of a satellite regime (satellization), the establishment of territorial exclaves (exclavization), or a full-fledged takeover (incorporation). |
