More than one hundred years ago, the city of Tulsa, Oklahoma, perpetrated a massacre against its Black residents. For generations, the true story was ignored, covered up, and diminished by those in power and in a position to preserve the status quo. Blending memoir and immersive journalism, RJ Young shows how, today, Tulsa combats its racist past while remaining all too tolerant of racial injustice.

After fourteen years apart, forty veterans of brutal close-quarters combat, lost souls to a man, were brought back together when one of them, the author, received the Medal of Honor. Their impromptu reunion in June 2019 helped heal them all—and saved more than a few of them too. This is their story. In 2004, David Bellavia's U.S. Army unit, an infantry battalion known as the Ramrods—2nd Battalion 2nd infantry regiment, 1st Infantry Division—fought and helped win the Battle of Fallujah, the bloodiest episode of the Iraq War. On November 10, 2004, Bellavia single-handedly cleared a fortified enemy position that had pinned down a squad from his platoon. Fourteen years later, Bellavia got a call from the president of the United States: he had been awarded a Medal of Honor and would receive America's highest award for bravery in combat in a ceremony at the White House.

English | ASIN: B0BJ7PQCBY | 2022 | 6 hours and 31 minutes | MP3 | M4B | 179 MB The way most business leaders deploy capex right now is nothing short of a train wreck. Very few look at their asset base as a collective network; rather, they see their assets as standalone performers, have no strategy for the role each asset plays in the grand scheme of things, and, therefore, fail to invest in their network for the long term to generate more cash for the business, asset by asset. Redesigning Capex Strategy provides an effective—and almost painfully obvious—solution to some of the greatest missed opportunities happening in business today. In this resource that will revolutionize your capex decision-making, globally renowned capex strategists Fredrik Weissenrieder and Daniel Linden share their proven methodology for focusing on the entire range of potential strategies and cash flow outcomes for hundreds of scenarios across a multi-asset base. It's not about incremental improvement. It's a radical transformation of how you allocate capital—and avoid throwing good money after bad. With a capex strategy that accounts for each asset's role as part of the asset network, there's never a question about the best path forward. Redesigning Capex Strategy doesn't just redesign your capex strategy—it helps you redesign your entire company's future.

In the popular imagination, MI5—or the Security Service—is known chiefly as the branch of the British state responsible for chasing down those who pose a threat to the country's national security, from Nazi fifth columnists during the Second World War to Soviet spies during the Cold War and today's domestic extremists. Yet, aided by the release of official documents to the National Archives, David Caute argues in this radical and revelatory history of the Security Service that suspicion often fell on those who posed no threat to national security. English | ASIN: B0BFBN8GH8 | 2022 | 8 hours and 22 minutes | MP3 | M4B | 214 MB We're all searching for answers to the biggest questions: How can we be good? Find calm? Properly grieve? Beat FOMO? Work out what truly matters? Well, the good news is that the wisest minds in history asked the exact same questions—and they found answers. The ancient philosophy of Stoicism shows us that we are already in possession of the very tools we need to excavate this much-needed wisdom for ourselves. So into the past we go with Brigid Delaney, to a time not unlike our own: one full of pandemonium, war, plagues, pestilence, treachery, corruption, anxiety, overindulgence, and—even back then—the fear of a climate apocalypse. By living and learning the teachings of three ancient guides, Seneca, Epictetus and Marcus Aurelius, Brigid shows us how we can apply their lessons to our modern lives in a way that allows us to regain a sense of agency and tranquillity.

These days it seems that nobody is satisfied with American democracy. Critics across the ideological spectrum warn that the country is heading toward catastrophe but also complain that nothing seems to change. At the same time, many have begun to wonder if the gulf between elites and ordinary people has turned democracy itself into a myth. The urge to defend the country's foundations and to dismantle them coexist—often within the same people. How did we get here? Why does it feel like the country is both grinding to a halt and falling to pieces? In Realigners, the historian Timothy Shenk offers an eye-opening new biography of the American political tradition. |
