Novel forms of state violence and colonization have been unfolding for years in China's vast northwestern region, where more than a million and a half Uyghurs and others have vanished into internment camps and associated factories. Based on hours of interviews with camp survivors and workers, thousands of government documents, and over a decade of research, Darren Byler, one of the leading experts on Uyghur society and Chinese surveillance systems, uncovers how a vast network of technology provided by private companies - facial surveillance, voice recognition, smartphone data - enabled the state and corporations to blacklist millions of Uyghurs because of their religious and cultural practice starting in 2017. ![]() English | ASIN: B09FFTFYPR | 2022 | 10 hours and 19 minutes | MP3 | M4B | 284 MB Popular narratives of American history conceal as much as they reveal. They present a national identity based on harvesting the treasures that lay in wait for European colonization. In Whose Ruins tells another story: Winding through the US landscape, from Native American earthworks in West Virginia to the Manhattan Project in New Mexico, this history is a tour of sites that were mined for an empire's power. Showing the hidden costs of ruthless economic growth, particularly to Indigenous people and ways of understanding, this book illuminates the myth-making intimately tied to place. From the ground up, the project of settlement, expansion, and extraction became entwined with the spiritual values of those who hoped to gain from it. Every nation tells some stories and suppresses others, and In Whose Ruins illustrates the way American myths have been inscribed on the Earth itself, overwriting Indigenous histories and binding us into an unsustainable future. ![]() English | ISBN: 9781668601433 | 2021 | MP3 | M4B | 10h11m | 287 MB Based on extensive reporting, a Game of Thrones–like telling of what comes next for the factions and families within the Republican Party as they plot for supremacy in the post-Trump era. ![]() English | ASIN: B09S7N7YJP | 2022 | 9 hours and 18 minutes | MP3 | M4B | 256 MB In this beautiful and thought-provoking blend of nature and travel writing, Patrick Galbraith sets off across Britain on a journey that may well be his last chance to see some of our disappearing birds.

A man ready for a change. And a completely unique trip through Europe. In 1784, Thomas Jefferson was a broken man. Reeling from the loss of his wife and stung from a political scandal during the Revolutionary war, he needed to remake himself. Wandering through Europe, Jefferson saw and learned as much as he could, ultimately bringing his knowledge home to a young America. There, he would rise to power and shape a nation. More than two hundred years later, Derek Baxter, a devotee of American history, stumbles on an obscure travel guide written by Jefferson—Hints for Americans Traveling Through Europe—as he's going through his own personal crisis. ![]() English | ASIN: B09VMHP1R5 | 2022 | MP3 | M4B | ~10:23:00 | 294 MB Michael Brenner, Jeremiah Riemer - translator, Julian Elfer (Narrator), "In Hitler's Munich: Jews, the Revolution, and the Rise of Nazism" ![]() English | ASIN: B0B2YBZKFF | 2022 | MP3 | M4B | ~10:22:00 | 293 MB Barry Eichengreen, Asmaa El-Ganainy, Rui Esteves, Kris James Mitchener, Perry Daniels (Narrator), "In Defense of Public Debt" ![]() English | ASIN: B09XXZFRHV | 2022 | 6 hours and 16 minutes | MP3 | M4B | 172 MB Anyone who began working twenty or thirty years ago has witnessed astonishing changes in the workplace during their career.
