Gore's analysis of where we've gone wrong ranges across politics, history, science, economics, psychology, and religion. He argues that only a worldwide mobilization can save us from disaster and presents a brilliant and comprehensive plan for action that encompasses not only the Earth's ecology, but also population trends, appropriate technology, and environmental education. ![]() English | 2019 | MP3 | M4B | ASIN: B07XSLR7NY | Duration: 4:18 h | 151 MB Margaret J.

In this panoramic and up-to-date account, we learn how the Black Death, smallpox, the 1918 influenza pandemic, and other great epidemics have not only led to enormous suffering and mass death but have also contributed to the fall of empires and changed the course of history. We also discover how new infectious diseases such as HIV/AIDS and COVID-19 emerge—and how we wage war against them. Humanity has struck back at the microbes: antibiotics and new vaccines have saved millions of lives. But the battle with these relentless, silent enemies is far from won. We face increasing threats from new and unavoidable pandemics, antibiotic resistance, and even potential extraterrestrial microbes. Duel Without End is a fascinating journey through the long history of infection, from the dawn of life to humanity's future exploration of deep space. ![]() English | ASIN: B09NP8HWRY | 2021 | 13 hours and 48 minutes | MP3 | M4B | 379 MB For centuries, clothing has been a wearable status symbol; fashion, a weapon in struggles for social change; and dress codes, a way to maintain political control. Dress codes evolved along with the social and political ideals of the day, but they always reflected struggles for power and status. In the 1700s, South Carolina's "Negro Act" made it illegal for Black people to dress "above their condition." In the 1920s, the bobbed hair and form-fitting dresses worn by free-spirited flappers were banned in workplaces throughout the United States, and in the 1940s the baggy zoot suits favored by Black and Latino men caused riots in cities from coast to coast. ![]() English | ASIN: B0B19887F8 | 2022 | 4 hours and 45 minutes | MP3 | M4B | 131 MB Recent years have proven rife with revelations about the misdeeds, objectional views, and, in some instances, crimes of popular artists. Given more access than ever thanks to social media and the internet in general, the public has turned an alert and critical eye upon the once-hidden lives of previously cherished entertainers. But what should we members of the public do, think, and feel in response to these artists' actions or statements? It's a predicament that many of us face: whether it's possible to disentangle the deeply unsettled feelings we have toward an artist from how we respond to the art they produced. ![]() English | ASIN: B09HN43YSN | 2022 | MP3 | M4B | ~02:48:00 | 80 MB Ashish Goel (Author, Narrator), Stanford d.school, Scott Doorley (Narrator), "Drawing on Courage: Risks Worth Taking and Stands Worth Making (Stanford d.school Library)" ![]() English | ASIN: B09SGQVPR4 | 2022 | 9 hours and 5 minutes | MP3 | M4B | 249 MB The Swamp has been around for more than 150 years, and six major presidents have tried to drain it with varying degrees of success. Donald Trump promised to "Drain the Swamp", by which he originally meant lobbyists. When he got in, he found an entirely different Swamp - a Deep State that had grown, layer upon layer, within the government. But he wasn't the first to encounter entrenched Swamp opposition. Abraham Lincoln had to battle the "Slave Power Conspiracy"; Grover Cleveland was the most successful of three presidents to fight the spoils Swamp. ![]() English | ISBN: 9781669677734 | 2022 | MP3 | M4B | 5h | 100 MB Are you looking for treatment for your problem but don't want to rely on medication?
