![]() Free Download Feminist Fight Club: An Office Survival Manual for a Sexist Workplace by Jessica Bennett, Bahni Turpin, HarperAudio English | 2016 | ISBN: B01IDX79L8 | 6 hours and 7 minutes / Format: MP3 | 134 Mb Part manual, part manifesto, a humorous yet incisive guide to navigating subtle sexism at work - a Lean In for the Buzzfeed generation that provides real-life career advice and humorous reinforcement for a new generation of professional women. It was a fight club - but without the fighting and without the men. Every month the women would huddle in a friend's apartment to share sexist job frustrations and trade tips for how best to tackle them. Once upon a time, you might have called them a consciousness-raising group. But the problems of today's working world are more subtle, less pronounced, harder to identify - and harder to prove - than those of their foremothers. These women weren't just there to vent. They needed battle tactics. And so the fight club was born. Hard hitting and entertaining, Feminist Fight Club blends personal stories with research, statistics, and no-bullsh*t expert advice. Bennett offers a new vocabulary for the sexist workplace archetypes women encounter every day - such as the Manterrupter, who talks over female colleagues in meetings, or the Himitator, who appropriates their ideas - and provides practical hacks for navigating other gender landmines in today's working world. With Feminist Mad Libs, a Negotiation Cheat Sheet, and fascinating historical research, Feminist Fight Club tackles both the external (sexist) and internal (self-sabotaging) behaviors that plague women in the workplace - as well as the system that perpetuates them. ![]() Free Download Fear of a Microbial Planet: How a Germophobic Safety Culture Makes Us Less Safe (Audiobook) English | August 07, 2023 | ASIN: B0CDQW2VVC | M4B@64 kbps | 12h 24m | 350 MB Author: Steve Templeton | Narrator: David Turner Fear of a Microbial Planet, a sweeping treatise on the COVID era published by Brownstone Institute, offers desperately needed clarity and science on the organization and management of individual social life in the presence of pathogenic infection. It can be read as a definitive answer to expert arrogance, political overreach, and population panic. For three years following the arrival of the virus that causes Covid, the dominant response from governments and the public has been to be afraid and stay far away through any means possible. This has further mutated into a population-wide germophobia that is actually being promoted by elite opinion. ![]() Free Download Fear of Falling: The Inner Life of the Middle Class by Barbara Ehrenreich, Carmela Marner, Molly Parker Myers English | 2020 | ISBN: B08377WBS1 | Format: M4B / 9 hours and 37 minutes | 534 Mb A brilliant and insightful exploration of the rise and fall of the American middle class by New York Times best-selling author Barbara Ehrenreich. One of Barbara Ehrenreich's most classic and prophetic works, Fear of Falling closely examines the insecurities of the American middle class in an attempt to explain its turn to the right during the last two decades of the 20th century. Weaving finely-tuned expert analysis with her trademark voice, Ehrenreich traces the myths about the middle class to their roots, determines what led to the shrinking of what was once a healthy percentage of the population, and how, in its ambition and anxiety, that population has retreated from responsible leadership. Newly reissued and timely as ever, Fear of Falling places the middle class of yesterday under the microscope and reveals exactly how we arrived at the middle class of today. ![]() Free Download Katherine Reid PhD, Barbara Price PhD - contributor, Connie Shabshab (Narrator), "Fat, Stressed, and Sick: MSG, Processed Food, and America's Health Crisis" English | ASIN: B0CP8FDFWH | 2023 | MP3@64 kbps | ~08:29:00 | 241 MB Fat, Stressed, and Sick makes the case that processed food compromises health not just because of added sugar, salt, and fat, but also because these foods contain significant amounts of glutamate-aka MSG. MSG makes food deliciously addicting. What was not well-known until described here is that most of the MSG in processed food is created during food manufacturing. As the authors show, food processing of protein alone adds ten grams or more a day of MSG to the average American diet. The book details the research linking dietary glutamate to a suite of inflammatory diseases: obesity, diabetes, autism, addiction, depression, and cancer, to name a few. Understanding the role of MSG in disease became the quest of author and biochemist Katherine Reid when she learned that her daughter's autism symptoms were associated with inflammation of the brain. Reid made the connection between inflammation and glutamate in the diet-a connection amply supported by other studies. In what became an experiment in her home, Reid examined every ingredient on every food label, removing all items with MSG and replacing them with whole foods. The results were swift and undeniable. Reid's discovery that what one ate mattered was the start of a program of food-based solutions to chronic inflammatory illnesses, through which now, a decade later, she has helped thousands of people. ![]() Free Download Fashion Killa: How Hip-Hop Revolutionized High Fashion (Audiobook) English | October 10, 2023 | ASIN: B0C1Q28N99 | M4B@64 kbps | 7h 52m | 224 MB Author: Sowmya Krishnamurthy | Narrator: Angel Pean A cinematic narrative of glamour, grit, luxury, and luck, Fashion Killa draws on exclusive interviews with the leaders of the fashion world to tell the story of the hip-hop artists, designers, stylists, and unsung heroes who fought the power and reinvented style around the world over the last fifty years.

Would your younger self believe the news of today? An entire city block blown up by a suicide bomber on Christmas Day because he believed phone towers spread disease. A Representative elected to the US Congress on a platform that Democrats are secretly harvesting an anti-aging chemical from the blood of abused children. Angry rioters in furs and horns overrun the Capitol in a bloody carnage of insurrection. The Prime Minister of Australia employing the wife of his friend who fronts a group the FBI has declared terrorists.

Many who sat in shocked disbelief as these events beamed around the world asked the same question: 'How did we get here?' For those rioters, it was the culmination of a journey of online radicalisation that began with the weaponisation of disinformation by their political leaders and outrageously biased 'news' commentators. ![]() Free Download Nikolas Badminton, Quentin Cooper (Narrator), "Facing Our Futures: How Foresight, Futures Design and Strategy Creates Prosperity and Growth" English | ASIN: B0BSYGYS2F | 2023 | MP3@64 kbps | ~07:05:00 | 201 MB A fascinating insight into how professionals and businesses can develop their foresight and strategy to ensure that they are prepared for an unpredictable future.

Whether we like it or not, all our actions and communications are going to be revealed for everyone to see. Exposed: How Revealing Your Data and Eliminating Privacy Increases Trust and Liberates Humanity takes a controversial and insightful look at the concept of privacy and persuasively argues that preparing for a post-private future is better than exacerbating the painful transition by attempting to delay the inevitable. Security expert and author Ben Malisow systematically dismantles common notions of privacy and explains how most arguments in favor of increased privacy are wrong; privacy in our personal lives leaves us more susceptible to being bullied or blackmailed; governmental and military privacy leads to an imbalance of power between citizen and state; and military supremacy based on privacy is an obsolete concept. |
