Author: Helen Czerski
Narrator: Helen Czerski
A scientist's exploration of the "ocean engine"-the physics behind the ocean's systems-and why it matters. All of Earth's oceans, from the equator to the poles, are a single engine powered by sunlight, driving huge flows of energy, water, life, and raw materials. In The Blue Machine, physicist and oceanographer Helen Czerski illustrates the mechanisms behind this defining feature of our planet, voyaging from the depths of the ocean floor to tropical coral reefs, estuaries that feed into shallow coastal seas, and Arctic ice floes. Through stories of history, culture, and animals, she explains how water temperature, salinity, gravity, and the movement of Earth's tectonic plates all interact in a complex dance, supporting life at the smallest scale-plankton-and the largest-giant sea turtles, whales, humankind.

Free Download The Bill Gates Problem: Reckoning with the Myth of the Good Billionaire (Audiobook)
English | ASIN: B0BWFV9RB9 | 2023 | 15 hours and 55 minutes | M4B@64 kbps | 464 MB
Author: Tim Schwab
Narrator: Tim Schwab
A powerful investigation of Bill Gates and the Gates Foundation, showing how he uses philanthropy to exercise enormous political power without accountability. Through his vaunted philanthropy, Bill Gates transformed himself from a tech villain into one of the most admired people on the planet. Even as divorce proceedings and allegations of misconduct have recently tarnished his public image, the beneficence of the Gates Foundation, celebrated for spending billions to save lives around the globe, is taken as a given. But as Tim Schwab shows in this fearless investigation, Gates is still exactly who he was at Microsoft: a bully and monopolist, convinced of his own righteousness and intent on imposing his ideas, his solutions, and his leadership on everyone else. At the core, he is not a selfless philanthropist but a power broker, a clever engineer who has innovated a way to turn extreme wealth into immense political influence-and who has made us believe we should applaud his acquisition of power, not challenge it.

Free Download The Big Fail: What the Pandemic Revealed About Who America Protects and Who It Leaves Behind (Audiobook)
English | ASIN: B0BVNNSJXB | 2023 | 12 hours and 55 minutes | M4B@64 kbps | 372 MB
Author: Joe Nocera, Bethany McLean
Narrator: Joe Nocera, Bethany McLean
From the collaborators behind the modern business classic All the Devils are Here comes a damning indictment of American capitalism-and the leaders that left us brutally unprepared for a global pandemic. In 2020, the novel coronavirus pandemic made it painfully clear that the U.S. could not adequately protect its citizens. Millions of Americans suffered-and over a million died-in less than two years, while government officials blundered; prize-winning economists overlooked devastating trade-offs; and elites escaped to isolated retreats, unaffected by and even profiting from the pandemic. Why and how did America, in a catastrophically enormous failure, become the world leader in COVID deaths? In this compelling economic, political, and financial history, veteran journalists Bethany McLean and Joe Nocera offer fresh and provocative answers.

Author: Dr. Drew Bednar
Narrator: Stephen Caffrey
A practical and occasionally provocative look at the state of spinal surgical care. Just a few decades ago most spine surgery was literally a gamble: maybe you'd get better and maybe you wouldn't. Today we have the knowledge, understanding, and technology to predictably relieve pain and neurological deficits like never before-yet many patients are still getting subpar care. Foundational knowledge of surgical spine care isn't spreading to the medical community, let alone to patients, whose quality of life hangs in the balance. With The Back Story on Spine Care, orthopedic specialist Dr. Drew Bednar presents case studies that illuminate the common issues plaguing patients-and their treatment-today. Back problems are among the most common health issues, and with Dr. Bednar's insights, knowledge, and practical tips, medical professionals can provide care that leads to healthier backs and happier lives.

Free Download The Art of Horsemanship and on the Cavalry General by Xenophon (Audiobook)
English | ASIN: B0CNDSG1CN | 2023 | 2 hours and 45 minutes | M4B@192 kbps | 228 MB
Author: Xenophon, Morris H. Morgan
Narrator: David Rintoul
Xenophon's The Art of Horsemanship is a highly unusual text in the corpus of Classical Greek literature. It is a short survey on the various aspects of care for horses as seen by a highly experienced rider from the 5th century BCE. It is particularly notable because so many of its observations are relevant to the modern rider. Xenophon, friend of Socrates and professional soldier, is best known as the author Anabasis, the vivid account of a failed military expedition deep into Persia. The Art of Horsemanship is very different in tone and content-a practical study from deep personal knowledge gained from working with horses, but none the less fascinating.
