Let's Get Physical: How Women Discovered Exercise and Reshaped the World (Audiobook)
English | ASIN: B093N12N3Z | 2022 | 9 hours and 4 minutes | MP3@64 kbps | 232 MB
Author: Danielle Friedman
Narrator: Danielle Friedman
A captivating blend of reportage and personal narrative that explores the untold history of women's exercise culture - from jogging and Jazzercise to Jane Fonda - and how women have parlayed physical strength into other forms of power. For American women today, working out is as accepted as it is expected, fueling a multibillion-dollar fitness industrial complex. But it wasn't always this way. For much of the 20th century, sweating was considered unladylike and girls grew up believing physical exertion would cause their uterus to literally fall out. It was only in the '60s that, thanks to a few forward-thinking fitness pioneers, women began to move en masse. In Let's Get Physical, journalist Danielle Friedman reveals the fascinating hidden history of contemporary women's fitness culture, chronicling in vivid, cinematic prose how exercise evolved from a beauty tool pitched almost exclusively as a way to "reduce" into one millions have harnessed as a path to mental, emotional, and physical wellbeing.

Jungle: How Tropical Forests Shaped the World - and Us (Audiobook)
English | ASIN: B099TGP3T8 | 2021 | 12 hours and 41 minutes | MP3@64 kbps | 338 MB
Author: Patrick Roberts
Narrator: Leighton Pugh
From the age of dinosaurs to the first human cities, a groundbreaking new history of the planet that tropical forests made. To many of us, tropical forests are the domain of movies and novels. These dense, primordial wildernesses are beautiful to picture but irrelevant to our lives. Jungle tells a different story. Archaeologist Patrick Roberts argues that tropical forests have shaped nearly every aspect of life on earth. They made the planet habitable, enabled the rise of dinosaurs and mammals, and spread flowering plants around the globe. New evidence also shows that humans evolved in jungles, developing agriculture and infrastructure unlike anything found elsewhere. Humanity's fate is tied to the fate of tropical forests, and by understanding how earlier societies managed these habitats, we can learn to live more sustainably and equitably today. Blending cutting-edge research and incisive social commentary, Jungle is a bold new vision of who we are and where we come from.

Jhāna Consciousness: Buddhist Meditation in the Age of Neuroscience (Audiobook)
English | ASIN: B0BNJXZD2Q | 2022 | 7 hours and 59 minutes | M4B@64 kbps | 228 MB
Author: Paul Dennison
Narrator: James Anderson Foster
An interdisciplinary deep dive into Buddhist jhāna meditation and how it can transform our understanding of self and consciousness. States of profound meditative concentration, the jhānas are central to the earliest Buddhist teachings. For centuries in Southeast Asia, oral yogāvacara (yoga practitioner) lineages kept traditional jhāna practices alive, but in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, reforms in Theravāda Buddhism downplayed the importance of jhāna in favor of vipassanā (insight) meditation. Some began to consider the jhānas to be strictly the domain of monastics, unattainable in the context of modern lay life.

Indispensable Nation: American Foreign Policy in a Turbulent World (Audiobook)
English | ASIN: B0B3216TLK | 2022 | 7 hours and 46 minutes | MP3@64 kbps | 206 MB
Author: Robert J. Lieber
Narrator: Rick Adamson
The United States remains "the indispensable nation." In this book, the distinguished international relations theorist and foreign policy specialist Robert Lieber argues that in a world full of revisionist powers, America's role is more important than ever. No other country is capable of playing that role. America remains the essential pillar of the postwar liberal order. It is a center of both political and financial stability, and it promotes important values that the revisionist powers do not. Not beholden to any particular theory, this is a clear-eyed analysis of the role the United States should play in the world as it exists today.

History of Iceland: A Captivating Guide to the History of the Land of Fire and Ice, from the Viking Age to the Present (Audiobook)
English | ISBN: 9798822659551 | 2022 | 3 hours and 36 minutes | M4B@128 kbps | 199 MB
Author: Captivating History
Narrator: Jason Zenobia
Iceland, the land of fire and ice, has a storied history. After the Norse discovered Iceland, they began to settle it, allying the island nation with Norway. However, as power shifted in Scandinavia, Iceland would come to be governed by Denmark for several centuries. For much of Iceland's history, it practiced a subsistence society. The people were dependent on fishing and farming to survive, and because of their isolation, they did not advance at the same rate as the rest of Europe. In addition, they were often subject to forces beyond their control. The often-violent environment not only shaped their daily lives but also created many of the struggles they faced. Although the Icelanders were isolated, they were impacted by the events in Europe, especially those in the Scandinavian nations. Iceland is often mentioned in history books, but how much do you actually know about it? In this book, you will learn all about the history of Iceland, from the settlement period to the 20th century.
