Author: Anne Somerset
Narrator: Claire Vousden
It is generally accepted that Queen Victoria reigned but did not rule. This couldn't be more wrong. In Queen Victoria and Her Prime Ministers, Anne Somerset masterfully traces Victoria's political evolution, from headstrong teenager to seasoned octogenarian. This book demonstrates her passionate involvement in state affairs, and casts fresh light on her relationships with her ten prime ministers. Victoria herself acknowledged that when it came to 'likes and dislikes' of her prime ministers, 'she had them very strongly'. She showed girlish adoration for her first Prime Minister, the worldly-wise Lord Melbourne, whose delightful conversation and kindly guidance enchanted her. Later in her reign, Benjamin Disraeli - who flattered her shamelessly, tirelessly praising her sagacity and judgement and filling her life with 'poetry, romance and chivalry' - became her favourite.

English | ASIN: B0CXKQ2J6D | 2024 | 6 hours and 7 minutes | MP3@64 kbps | 168 MB
Author: Paul Moorcraft
Narrator: Mike Cooper
This book explores why there is a major war again in Europe. Putin's actions need to be understood if not forgiven. With the Ukraine conflict seen as a proxy war of NATO versus Russia, how likely is the fighting to spread? The author, a highly respected journalist and political commentator, explains why Russia invaded a sovereign neighbor. To what extent did NATO's expansion to Russia's borders in the aftermath of the Cold War provoke Putin? Did the West's recent humiliating defeats in the Middle East and South Asia encourage Putin to exploit what he saw as its decadent strategic weakness and lack of resolve? What were the reasons for Russia's savage behavior in Ukraine? How might the Ukraine war end and what will the post-bellum world look like? The war in Ukraine has had worldwide impact with cost of living, food and energy crises, and raised the risk of nuclear Armageddon by accident or intent. It examines the complex military and political issues in layman's language while the story is told as a compelling historical narrative. Professor Moorcraft, who has worked in Ukraine and has witnessed Russian troops in action in Afghanistan, is superbly qualified to write this work.

English | ASIN: B0CWS9MCVQ | 2024 | 10 hours and 27 minutes | MP3@64 kbps | 287 MB
Author: Jorell Meléndez-Badillo
Narrator: Tony Chiroldes
Puerto Rico is a Spanish-speaking territory of the United States with a history shaped by conquest and resistance. For centuries, Puerto Ricans have crafted and negotiated complex ideas about nationhood. Jorell Meléndez-Badillo provides a new history of Puerto Rico that gives voice to the archipelago's people while offering a lens through which to understand the political, economic, and social challenges confronting them today. In this masterful work of scholarship, Meléndez-Badillo sheds light on the vibrant cultures of the archipelago in the centuries before the arrival of Columbus, and captures the full sweep of Puerto Rico's turbulent history in the centuries that followed, from the first indigenous insurrection against colonial rule in 1511-led by the powerful chieftain Agüeybaná II-to the establishment of the Commonwealth in 1952. He deftly portrays the contemporary period and the intertwined though unequal histories of the archipelago and the continental United States. Puerto Rico is an engaging, sometimes personal, and consistently surprising history of colonialism, revolt, and the creation of a national identity, offering new perspectives not only on Puerto Rico and the Caribbean but on the United States and the Atlantic world more broadly.

Author: Johann Gottlieb Fichte
Narrator: Jonathan Booth
Johann Gottlieb Fichte (1762-1814) was the forerunner of the post-Kantian idealists and remains one of the most important figures in German philosophy. Throughout his career, Fichte published, in addition to his systematic or "scientific" treatises, the best known of which is the "Foundation of the Entire Wissenchaftslehre (1794-5), a series of works directed at the general public. The purpose of these "popular" writings was to indicate, in a non-technical manner, some of the characteristic features of the new transcendental philosophy and to explicate some of its more significant implications. William Smith translated most of these "popular writings" in the 19th century and published them individually and in the various editions of "The Popular Works of Johann Gottlieb Fichte". Each edition included corrections and improvements in the translation.

What if everything you know about athletic pain is wrong? For starters, pain is not synonymous with being "injured." Nor is it evidence that your biomechanics are "flawed" or your body is "imbalanced." And most important, pain doesn't always mean you have to see a doctor.
In Pain and Performance, Ryan Whited and Matt Fitzgerald present a radically new way to understand and manage sports-related pain that exposes the shocking lack of evidence for modern medicine's approach to injury management. Based on recent advances in pain science, Whited's revolutionary "Training as Treatment" method puts athletes in control of their pain experience with a unique strength-based system that is proven to result in less downtime, fewer visits to clinicians, less anxiety about pain and injury, less time and money wasted on treatments that don't work. The end result is better performance and a more fulfilling athletic journey.
An elite boulderer and son of an often-injured professional horse jockey, Whited knows pain intimately, having spent decades guiding athletes from breakdowns to breakthroughs at Paragon Athletics. His gym in Flagstaff is a magnet for pain-affected runners, climbers, and other athletes and enthusiasts who've grown frustrated with the medical system. Pain and Performance makes Whited's unparalleled knowledge and expertise available to all, offering inspiration and empowerment for anyone seeking to stay out of the doctor's office and on track toward their goals and dreams.
