Free Download Black and Blue: A Memoir of Racism and Resilience by Veronica Gorrie, Tamala Shelton, Bolinda Publishing Pty Ltd
English | 2021 | ISBN: B09DDG8CPP | Format: M4B / Bitrate: 56 Kbps / 6 hours and 56 minutes | 170 Mb
The story of an Aboriginal woman who worked as a police officer and fought for justice both within and beyond the Australian police force.
A proud Gunai/Kurnai woman, Veronica Gorrie grew up dauntless, full of cheek and a fierce sense of justice. After watching her friends and family suffer under a deeply compromised law-enforcement system, Gorrie signed up for training to become one of a rare few Aboriginal police officers in Australia. In her 10 years in the force, she witnessed appalling institutional racism and sexism and fought past those things to provide courageous and compassionate service to civilians in need, many Aboriginal themselves.
With a great gift for storytelling and a wicked sense of humour, Gorrie frankly and movingly explores the impact of racism on her family and her life, the impact of intergenerational trauma resulting from cultural dispossession and the inevitable difficulties of making her way in the white and male-dominated workplace of the police force.

Terrie had made it: She had launched her own public relations company with such clients as Eddie Murphy and Johnnie Cochran. Yet she was in constant pain, waking up in terror, overeating in search of relief. For 30 years she kept on her game face of success, exhausting herself daily to satisfy her clients' needs while neglecting her own. When she finally collapsed, she had no clue what was wrong or if there was a way out.
She learned her problem had a name - depression - and that many suffered from it, hiding their hurt. As she healed, her mission became clear: Break the silence of this crippling taboo and help those who suffer, especially in the Black community.

Free Download Black Against Empire: The History and Politics of the Black Panther Party by Joshua Bloom, Waldo E. Martin Jr., Ron Butler
English | 2016 | ISBN: B01ENXEJM4 | Format: M4B / Bitrate: 64 Kbps / 18 hours and 11 minutes | 496 Mb
In Oakland, California, in 1966, community college students Bobby Seale and Huey Newton armed themselves, began patrolling the police, and promised to prevent police brutality. Unlike the Civil Rights Movement that called for full citizenship rights for blacks within the US, the Black Panther Party rejected the legitimacy of the US government and positioned itself as part of a global struggle against American imperialism. In the face of intense repression, the Party flourished, becoming the center of a revolutionary movement with powerful allies around the world.
Black Against Empire is the first comprehensive overview and analysis of the history and politics of the Black Panther Party. The authors analyze key political questions, such as why so many young black people across the country risked their lives for the revolution, why the Party grew most rapidly during the height of repression, and why allies abandoned the Party at its peak of influence.
Bold, engrossing, and richly detailed, this book cuts through the mythology and obfuscation, revealing the political dynamics that drove the explosive growth of this revolutionary movement and its disastrous unraveling.

Free Download Bitwise: A Life in Code by David Auerbach, David Marantz, Blackstone Audio, Inc.
English | 2018 | ISBN: B07GPTSLX2 | Format: MP3 / Bitrate: Variable / 9 hours and 54 minutes | 152 Mb
An exhilarating, elegant memoir and a significant polemic on how computers and algorithms shape our understanding of the world and of who we are.
Bitwise is a wondrous ode to the computer languages and codes that captured technologist David Auerbach's imagination. With a philosopher's sense of inquiry, Auerbach recounts his childhood spent drawing ferns with the programming language Logo on the Apple IIe, his adventures in early text-based video games, his education as an engineer, and his contributions to instant messaging technology developed for Microsoft and the servers powering Google's data stores.
A lifelong student of the systems that shape our lives - from the psychiatric taxonomy of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual to how Facebook tracks and profiles its users - Auerbach reflects on how he has experienced the algorithms that taxonomize human speech, knowledge, and behavior and that compel us to do the same.

Free Download Bible: The Story of the King James Version by Gordon Campbell, Julian Elfer, Tantor Audio
English | 2018 | ISBN: B07JJRGSQY | Format: M4B / Bitrate: 32 Kbps / 7 hours and 44 minutes + EPUB | 107 Mb
This is a history of the King James Version of the Bible (known in Britain as the Authorised Version) over the 400 years from its remote beginnings to the present day.
Gordon Campbell, expert in Renaissance literatures, tells the fascinating and complex story of how this translation came to be commissioned, of who the translators were, and of how the translation was accomplished. The story does not end with the printing of that first edition, but introduces the subsequent generations who edited and interacted with the text. The present text of the King James Version differs in thousands of small details from the original edition. Campbell traces the textual history from 1611 to the establishment of the modern text by Oxford University Press in 1769.
Attitudes to the King James Version have shifted through time and territory, ranging from adulation to deprecation and attracting the attention of a wide variety of adherents. It is more widely read in America today than in any other country, and its particular history in there is given due attention.

Free Download Ann Thwaite, Jacqueline Wilson - foreword, Anne Flosnik (Narrator), "Beyond the Secret Garden: The Life of Frances Hodgson Burnett"
English | ASIN: B0CQRWQDWV | 2023 | M4B@64 kbpos | ~12:18:00 | 358 MB
Frances Hodgson Burnett's favorite theme in her fiction was the reversal of fortune, and she herself knew extremes of poverty and wealth. Born in Manchester in 1849, she emigrated with her family to Tennessee because of the financial problems caused by the cotton famine. From a young age she published her stories to help the family make ends meet. Only after she married did she publish Little Lord Fauntleroy that shot her into literary stardom.
On the surface, Frances' life was extremely successful: hosting regular literary salons in her home and travelling frequently between properties in the United Kingdom and America. But behind the colorful personal and social life, she was a complex and contradictory character. She lost both parents by her twenty-first birthday, Henry James called her "the most heavenly of women" although avoided her; prominent people admired her and there were many friendships as well as an ill-advised marriage to a much younger man that ended in heartache. Her success was punctuated by periods of depression, in one instance brought on by the tragic loss of her eldest son to consumption.

English | January 25, 2022 | ASIN: B09QBBFJK8 | M4B@128 kbps | 5h 3m | 281 MB
Author: Matthias Roberts | Narrator: Timothy Andrés Pabon
We all carry sexual shame. Whether we grew up in the repressive purity culture of American Evangelical Christianity or not, we've all been taught in subtle and not-so-subtle ways that sex (outside of very specific contexts) is immoral and taboo. Psychotherapist Matthias Roberts helps listeners overcome their shame around sex by overcoming three unhealthy coping mechanisms we use to manage that shame.
Beyond Shame encourages each of us to determine our own definition of healthy sex, while avoiding the ditches of boundary-less sex positivity on the one hand and strict moralistic boundaries on the other. Define your sexual values on your own terms, overcome your shame, and start having great, healthy sex.

Based on a research study of more than a dozen leading companies, two world-renowned strategists detail the seven leadership imperatives for transforming companies for success in the digital era.
For companies to succeed in this digital age they must reimagine their businesses before they reimagine being digital, and courageously shed the past to rethink their place in the world and how they compete and collaborate with others to create value.
In their new book, Paul Leinwand and Mahadeva Matt Mani, both members of the PwC US partnership and the Strategy & Global team, help leaders navigate these profound and historical shifts and provide a road map for reshaping their companies. Building on major new body of research, along with case studies of companies on the vanguard of this major shift, the authors identify the seven imperatives that leaders must follow as the digital age continues to evolve: reimagine your company's place in the world; build privileged insights into your customers; create value through ecosystems; break up the traditional organization; reposition your leadership team; reinvent the social contract with your people; and disrupt you own leadership approach. Together these seven imperatives comprise a playbook for architecting and executing the transformations that are required to succeed in the digital age.

Free Download Being and Time (Audiobook)
English | January 29, 2020 | ASIN: B083VXWMG9 | M4B@64 kbps | 23h 18m | 644 MB
Author: Martin Heidegger | Narrator: Martyn Swain
In his lucid introduction to this recording, Professor Taylor Carman declares unequivocally that Being and Time by Martin Heidegger (1889-1976) is 'one of the great masterpieces of 20th century philosophy.' And that is despite the fact that it is unquestionably a challenging listen. But by placing it in its historical context - the key work on existentialism between Søren Kierkegaard (1813-1855) and Jean-Paul Sartre (1905-1980) - it becomes much easier to approach.
As Professor Carman explains, 'Being and Time addresses a seemingly simple question: What does it mean to be?' As far as we know, human beings are the only existing things 'with an understanding of what it is for something to exist' and, furthermore, are aware of their own existence. Heidegger chose the German word Dasein - existence: literally 'being there' - instead of more common expressions such as man, human being, soul, consciousness, etc. And he embarks upon his investigation, considering 'being there in-the-world, in time (past, present, future); discussing 'authentic' and 'inauthentic' living and dying; and the acceptance of impermanence. 'Dasein's existence is pervaded by a primordial kind of anxiety (Angst)', Carman remarks, but points out that the concept of care is central to Heidegger's view: 'to be a human being is to care about something'.
