Rocketing to world fame at age 21, Ratajkowski sparked both praise and furor with the provocative display of her body as an unapologetic statement of feminist empowerment. The subsequent evolution in her thinking about our culture's commodification of women is the subject of this book. My Body is a profoundly personal exploration of feminism, sexuality, and power, of men's treatment of women and women's rationalizations for accepting that treatment. These essays chronicle moments from Ratajkowski's life while investigating the culture's fetishization of girls and female beauty, its obsession with and contempt for women's sexuality, the perverse dynamics of the fashion and film industries, and the grey area between consent and abuse. Nuanced, unflinching, and incisive, My Body marks the debut of a fierce writer brimming with courage and intelligence. ![]() English | 2021 |MP3|M4B | ASIN: B08ZV25HXL | Duration: 9:40 h | 206 MB Tyler James ![]() English | ASIN: B09GL39RTQ | 2021 | 4 hours and 41 minutes |MP3|M4B | 129 MB Around the globe, people are faced with a spiraling succession of crises, from the COVID-19 pandemic and climate change-induced fires, floods, and storms to the ongoing horrors of mass incarceration, racist policing, brutal immigration enforcement, endemic gender violence, and severe wealth inequality.

Survival work, when done alongside social movement demands for transformative change, is called mutual aid. ![]() English | 2018 |MP3|M4B | ASIN: B07C8HHGMS | Duration: 10:01 h | 273 MB Robert J. Goebel / Narrated by Gary Goebel ![]() English | ASIN: B07F1Z9LQX | 2018 | 10 hours and 28 minutes |MP3|M4B | 286 MB Roger Scruton is a polymath. He has written authoritatively on a huge range of subjects from the environment to wine, from cosmology to the Middle East. He is also an accomplished musician (organ and piano) and a composer of works including an opera and a song cycle. This is Scruton's second major work on music for Bloomsbury - the first being Understanding Music (Continuum, 2009). In this new book he turns again to the meaning of tonality and sound. His abstract, somewhat mystical argument on these topics includes slashing attacks on Marxist reductionism, on the authenticity of Early Music, on rival aestheticians such as Adorno and on sentimentality and cliché in any form. As with Understanding Music, he also expounds his views on pop music in a most satisfying and provocative new work. ![]() English | ASIN: B09HRDJRHC | 2021 | 3 hours and 8 minutes |MP3|M4B | 114 MB Music exists, first and foremost, in the soul, mind and body.
