Free Download Digital Civil War: Confronting the Far-Right Menace by Peter Daou, Jonathan Yen, HighBridge, a division of Recorded Books
English | 2019 | ISBN: B07R238KCR | Format: MP3 / 6 hours and 38 minutes | 138 Mb
The Far Right's rise to power has ignited a digital civil war that rages across multiple fronts and multiple platforms. It is waged with words and images that are designed to inflict psychological harm, to injure through verbal violence, to intimidate and incite, to wreak havoc with rhetoric. The combatants are citizens, activists, politicians, pundits, coders, conspiracists, trolls, agitators, hackers, and journalists. At stake are the nation's bedrock principles: equal rights, fair elections, freedom of speech, racial justice, and the rule of law.
In Digital Civil War: Confronting the Far-Right Menace, Peter Daou, a veteran digital media adviser to major political figures, provides a firsthand account from the war's front lines. He explains that the unceasing toxicity of social media - often treated as an aberration - is a feature, not a bug, of digital warfare.
A better understanding of how the underlying value systems and moral arguments of the warring parties play out online, Daou argues, aids us in confronting the Far Right's takeover of the Republican Party and the consequent assault on truth, facts, and the foundations of our democracy.

Free Download Different: Escaping the Competitive Herd by Youngme Moon, Bernadette Dunne, Random House Audio
English | 2010 | ISBN: B003FOOG6W | Format: MP3 / 6 hours and 49 minutes pages | EPUB | 374 Mb
Why trying to be the best...competing like crazy...makes you mediocre.
Every few years a book - through a combination of the author's unique voice, storytelling ability, wit, and insight - simply breaks the mold. Bill Bryson's A Walk in the Woods is one example. Richard Feynman's Surely You're Joking, Mr. Feynman! is another. Now comes Youngme Moon's Different, a book for "people who don't read business books". Actually, it's more like a personal conversation with a friend who has thought deeply about how the world works...and who gets you to see that world in a completely new light.
If there is one strain of conventional wisdom pervading every company in every industry, it's the absolute importance of "competing like crazy". Youngme Moon's message is simply "Get off this treadmill that's taking you nowhere. Going tit for tat and adding features, augmentations, and gimmicks to beat the competition has the perverse result of making you like everyone else". Different provides a highly original perspective on what it means to offer something that is meaningfully different - different in a manner that is both fundamental and comprehensive.

Free Download Dialogue with a Somnambulist: Stories, Essays & A Portrait Gallery (Audiobook)
English | ASIN: B0CQF62PT4 | 2023 | 6 hours and 53 minutes | M4B@128 kbps | 381 MB
Author: Chloe Aridjis
Narrator: Stacy Gonzalez
Renowned internationally for her lyrically unsettling novels, PEN/Faulkner Award winner Chloe Aridjis now presents her first collection of shorter works, with an introduction by Tom McCarthy. Chloe Aridjis's stories and essays are known to transport listeners into liminal, often dreamlike, realms. In this collection of works, we meet a woman guided only by a plastic bag drifting through the streets of Berlin who discovers a nonsense-named bar that is home to papier-mâche monsters and one glass-encased somnambulist. Floating through space, cosmonauts are confronted not only with wonder and astonishment, but tedium and solitude. And in Mexico City, stray dogs animate public spaces, "infusing them with a noble life force." In her pen portraits, Aridjis turns her eye to expats and outsiders, including artists and writers such as Leonora Carrington, Mavis Gallant, and Beatrice Hastings. Exploring the complexity of exile and urban alienation, Dialogue with a Somnambulist showcases "the rare writer who reinvents herself in each book" (Garth Greenwell) and who is as imaginatively at home in the short form as in her longer fiction.

Free Download Amy Begel, David V. Keith, Kate Udall (Narrator), "Diagnosis Human: How Unlocking Hidden Relationship Patterns Can Transform and Heal Our Children, Our Partners, Ourselves"
English | ASIN: B0CNBMM2YP | 2023 | MP3@64 kbps | ~10:03:00 | 285 MB
Diagnosis Human offers a compelling alternative to the biomedical model of mental health as it's been promoted over the last thirty years-a model which says that mental distress is a problem of chemical imbalance, or brain chemistry. Biological psychiatry focuses on quantifying the "illness" by an almost exclusive focus on symptoms. In this model, symptoms are never good. They are always seen as a sign that something is wrong with that person, a sign of pathology that must be changed. People now have a name for what they "have" and receive a prescription for it.
What may appear as intractable individual problems, however, often aren't individual problems at all. This book reveals how many of these distressing emotional states are created by nearly invisible, intimate patterns in our relationships. Diagnosis Human invites listeners into the therapist's office to be part of family therapy sessions, where they can experience practically first-hand what these intimate relationship patterns look and feel like. The authors present cases of adults dealing with depression, couples who come to therapy reeling from the betrayal of an affair, families with kids diagnosed with ADHD, teenagers with anxiety, or young children with temper tantrums. Each therapy session invites listeners to sit in as observers as the case unfolds, sometimes in dramatic fashion.

Free Download Destruction of Black Civilization: Great Issues of a Race from 4500 B.C. to 2000 A.D. by Chancellor Williams, Joseph Kent, Author's Republic
English | 2019 | ISBN: B0814JBWH8 | Format: M4B / 12 hours and 47 minutes | 697 Mb
The Destruction of Black Civilization took Chancellor Williams 16 years of research and field study to compile. The book, which was to serve as a reinterpretation of the history of the African race, was intended to be "a general rebellion against the subtle message from even the most liberal white authors and their Negro disciples: 'You belong to a race of nobodies. You have no worthwhile history to point to with pride.'"
The book was written at a time when many Black students, educators, and scholars were starting to piece together the connection between the way their history was taught and the way they were perceived by others and by themselves. They began to question assumptions made about their history and took it upon themselves to create a new body of historical research.
The book is premised on the question: If the Blacks were among the very first builders of civilization and their land the birthplace of civilization, what has happened to them that has left them, since then, at the bottom of world society? Precisely, what happened?

This is the strange and fascinating life of Erwin Rommel, from his days as a youth in Imperial Germany - when he had a child out of wedlock with an early girlfriend - through his lauded military exploits during World War I to his death by suicide during World War II, after he attempted a failed coup against Hitler.
Rommel was a man of contradictions: a soldier who wrote a best-selling book about World War I, a commander who went from commanding Hitler's bodyguard to trying to kill him, and a serious military mind who was known for participating in practical jokes.
