Opium's Orphans is the first full history of drug prohibition and the "war on drugs." A no-holds-barred but balanced account, it shows that drug suppression was born of historical accident, not rational design. The war on drugs did not originate in Europe or the United States, and even less with President Nixon, but in China. Two Opium Wars followed by Western attempts to atone for them gave birth to an anti-narcotics order that has come to span the globe. But has the war on drugs succeeded? As opioid deaths and cartel violence run rampant, contestation becomes more vocal, and marijuana is slated for legalization, Opium's Orphans proposes that it is time to go back to the drawing board. ![]() English | ASIN: B09YMRX5HM | 2022 | 5 hours and 30 minutes | MP3 | M4B | 302 MB A Secret Service agent and a hacker-turned-informant join forces to take down a global cybercriminal ring, back when there were barely laws in place to prohibit what the cyber criminals were up to. It's the early 2000s. The Internet is still a novelty. Twitter, Facebook, and Apple's iPhones have yet to be invented. Terms like "cyberterrorism" and "ransomware" are not yet part of the mainstream lexicon. But the information superhighway already presents an attractive route for criminals—one with infinite lanes. While his colleagues were still focused on crimes committed IRL (in real life), Steve Ward, a Special Agent with the United States Secret Service, talks his superiors into letting him embark on an unprecedented covert operation designed to discover and stop shadowy operations made possible by the Internet. ![]() English | 2020 | MP3 | M4B | ASIN: B089LYS7PL | Duration: 13:51 h | 761 MB Sarab Jit Singh / Narrated by Siddhanta Pinto ![]() English | ASIN: B09YFLCJKG | 2022 | 7 hours and 11 minutes | MP3 | M4B | 198 MB We live in an age of exponential technology, but this is not so new. Indeed, technological innovation has been promoted so assiduously for so long that there is now a discernible pattern to its emergence known as the Gartner Hype Cycle. Open innovation is no exception. In this book, Henry Chesbrough, the originator of open innovation, examines the hype behind its practice, shows where real results are taking place, and explains how companies can move beyond the hype to achieve real business results. To get valuable results from innovation, businesses must open up their innovation processes and finish more of what they start. ![]() English | ASIN: B09RRPCBVL | 2022 | 12 hours and 51 minutes | MP3 | M4B | 354 MB What can dresses, bedlinens, waistcoats, pantaloons, shoes, and kerchiefs tell us about the legal status of the least powerful members of American society? In the hands of eminent historian Laura F. Edwards, these textiles tell a revealing story of ordinary people and how they made use of their material goods' economic and legal value in the period between the Revolution and the Civil War. Only the Clothes on Her Back uncovers practices, commonly known then, but now long forgotten, which made textiles - clothing, cloth, bedding, and accessories, such as shoes and hats - a unique form of property that people without rights could own and exchange. ![]() English | ASIN: B07ZQRS28M | 2019 | 5 hours and 54 minutes | MP3 | M4B | 322 MB What if there was a uniquely safe place to put your money that also earned the best long-term returns?

Was it a dry-run for D-Day, or perhaps a gesture by the Allies to placate Stalin's impatience for a second front in the west? Canadian historian David O'Keefe uses hitherto classified intelligence archives to prove that this catastrophic and apparently futile raid was, in fact, a mission set up by Ian Fleming of British Naval Intelligence as part of a "pinch" policy designed to capture material relating to the four-rotor Enigma Machine that would permit codebreakers like Alan Turing at Bletchley Park to turn the tide of the Second World War. ![]() English | ASIN: B0B3LLDBFQ | 2022 | 7 hours and 51 minutes | MP3 | M4B | 216 MB In this masterwork, Phil Cousineau examines the connection of mythology to contemporary life and what that means for self-improvement. Drawing on his extensive work with Joseph Campbell, this is Cousineau's grand opus—revealing mythic insights for everyday life. Cousineau retells classic myths such as Eros and Psyche—with new accounts of more contemporary mythmakers such as Jim Morrison and Vincent van Gogh, illustrating how these legends have affected history, culture, and individuals. Experiencing myth feels like a sense of timelessness—living something larger than oneself—with a deeper understanding of work, love, creativity, and spirituality. Once and Future Myths is a fascinating listen and an original contribution to what we know about the power of myth in the 21st century. |
