Taylor Jr. / Narrated by Michael Curtis ![]() English | ASIN: B06Y1FGKT3 | 2017 | MP3 | M4B | 8 hours and 48 minutes | 240 MB A celebrated science and health reporter offers a wry, bracingly honest account of living with anxiety. ![]() English | ASIN: B0B1L1S3QD | 2022 | 12 hours and 4 minutes | MP3 | M4B | 332 MB In a world where oil-rich states are more likely to start war than their oil-dependent counterparts, it's surprising how little attention is still paid to these so-called petrostates. These states' wealth props up the global arms trade, provides diplomatic leverage, and allows them to support violent and nonviolent proxies. In Oil, the State, and War, Emma Ashford explores the many potential links between domestic oil production and foreign policy behavior and how oil production influences global politics. Not all petrostates have the same characteristics or capabilities. ![]() English | ASIN: B09K9FQ2FC | 2022 | 7 hours and 14 minutes | MP3 | M4B | 198 MB The New York Times best-selling author returns with the definitive Basic Bitch handbook for surviving your rock-bottom moments.

It is the ultimate in conspiracy theories, a wholesale rejection of everything we know to be true about the world in which we live. Where did this idea come from? Weill draws a straight line from today's conspiratorial moment back to the early days of Flat Earth theory in the 1830s, showing the human impulses behind divergences in belief. Faced with a complicated world out of our individual control, we naturally seek patterns to explain the inexplicable. The only difference between then and now? Social media. And, powered by Facebook and YouTube algorithms, the Flat Earth movement is growing. ![]() English | ASIN: B09QT98KDF | 2022 | 10 hours and 48 minutes | MP3 | M4B | 296 MB Humankind's relationship with the wolf is the sum of a spectrum of responses ranging from fear to admiration and affection.

Most Americans learn the tale in elementary school: During the War of 1812, Francis Scott Key witnessed the daylong bombardment of Baltimore's Fort McHenry by British navy ships; seeing the Stars and Stripes still flying proudly at first light, he was inspired to pen his famous lyric. What Americans don't know is the story of how this everyday "broadside ballad," one of thousands of such topical songs that captured the events and emotions of early American life, rose to become the nation's one and only anthem and today's magnet for controversy. ![]() English | 2022 | MP3 | M4B | ASIN: B099H1CK91 | Duration: 6:31 h | 179 MB Brianna Madia / Narrated by Brianna Madia ![]() English | ASIN: B09XJ755B1 | 2022 | 5 hours and 1 minute | MP3 | M4B | 138 MB If you are tired of the anxiety, frustration, and fear that pervade your connections with other people, both online and in real life, Sarah Stewart Holland and Beth Silvers want you to know one thing—you are not alone.
