The enthralling story of the Great Chicago Fire and the power struggle over the city's reconstruction in the wake of the tragedy. In October of 1871, Chicagoans knew they were due for the "big one"-a massive, uncontrollable fire that would decimate the city. There hadn't been a meaningful rain since July, and several big blazes had nearly outstripped the fire department's scant resources. On October 8, when Kate Leary's barn caught fire, so began a catastrophe that would forever change the soul of the city. Leary was a diligent, hardworking Irish woman, no more responsible for the fire than anyone else in the city at that time. But the conflagration that spread from her property quickly overtook the neighborhood, and before too long the floating embers had spread to the far reaches of the city. Families took to the streets with everything they could carry. Grain towers threatened to blow.

Author: Kim Christfort, Suzanne Vickberg
Narrator: Alex Picard
Innovation is a process by which new ideas, services, and sources of value are brought to life. Yet approaches to the pursuit of innovation are often far from novel, relying on stale methodologies applied against well-defined problem sets. Transformative innovation requires something else. Not just methodologies, but mindsets. Not just focusing on known challenges, but on unknown opportunities. Not just hoping for breakthrough by default, but realizing breakthrough by design. In The Breakthrough Manifesto, a renowned business innovation leader teams up with a social-personality psychologist to offer that something else-a collection of ten visionary principles to obliterate barriers to change and ignite a whole new level of creative problem-solving.

Author: Betony Vernon
Narrator: Betony Vernon
A comprehensive and instructional guide to the new sexual landscape, covering "new territories" such as bondage, role playing, and sex toys that would make your parents blush. Since the publication of The Joy of Sex, the sexual landscape's boundaries have been expanded to include a host of practices that are unthinkable in that classic tome. Although it also covers the basics, The Boudoir Bible fills those niches missing from other sex guides nicely, with full elaborated chapters on rope bondage, restraints of sound and sight, erotic flagellation, and the stimulation of new erogenous zones, among innumerable other offerings. Well-researched, The Boudoir Bible is written from a joyful, sex-positive point of view. Going beyond the "lovemaking" of older guides, this witty and uninhibited tome expands the sexual act to encompass "verboten" topics, with chapters entitled "The Genital Gym," "Nipple Tease," "Male Ejaculation Control," and "The Anthems of Anal Sex. The Boudoir Bible provides a fresh view of sexuality in the twenty-first century.

English | ASIN: B0BYB8WJSJ | 2023 | 8 hours and 4 minutes | M4B@128 kbps | 567 MB
Author: Valerie Babb
Narrator: Valerie Babb, Sean Polite
The unique social, cultural, and political life of the incomparable LeBron James. LeBron James is the hero in two very American tales: one, a success story the nation loves; the other, the latest installment in an ongoing chronicle of American antiblackness. He's the poor boy from a "broken" home who makes good. He's also the poor Black boy from a "broken" home who makes good, then at the apex of his career finds "n*****" spray-painted across the gate to his home. James has lived in the public eye ever since high school when his extraordinary athletic skills subjected his every action, every statement, every fashion choice to intense public scrutiny that tells us less about James himself and more about a nation still wrestling with many social inequities. He uses his celebrity not to transcend Blackness, but to give it a place of cultural prominence, and the backlash he receives exposes the frictions between Blackness and a country not fully comfortable with its presence. As a result, James's story is a revelatory narrative of how much Blackness is loved, hated, misunderstood, and just plain cool in an America that has changed and yet not changed at all.

Free Download The Book at War: How Reading Shaped Conflict and Conflict Shaped Reading (Audiobook)
English | ASIN: B0C1TDVBHN | 2023 | 14 hours and 37 minutes | M4B@64 kbps | 419 MB
Author: Andrew Pettegree
Narrator: Sean Barrett
A top literary historian illuminates how books were used in war across the twentieth century-both as weapons and as agents for peace. We tend not to talk about books and war in the same breath-one ranks among humanity's greatest inventions, the other among its most terrible. But as esteemed literary historian Andrew Pettegree demonstrates, the two are deeply intertwined. The Book at War explores the various roles that books have played in conflicts throughout the globe. Winston Churchill used a travel guide to plan the invasion of Norway, lonely families turned to libraries while their loved ones were fighting in the trenches, and during the Cold War both sides used books to spread their visions of how the world should be run. As solace or instruction manual, as critique or propaganda, books have shaped modern military history-for both good and ill. With precise historical analysis and sparkling prose, The Book at War accounts for the power-and the ambivalence-of words at war.
