Inspired by Donald Trump's election lies, a growing movement of grassroots activists mobilized around the country to pick up where the insurrection left off, laying the groundwork to succeed next time where Trump had failed to keep himself in power. But their own success in taking over and purging the Republican Party became their undoing as it drove away moderates and supplied the Democrats with a winning message in the 2022 midterms. Still, the MAGA Republicans proved uninterested in learning from that defeat, only becoming more extreme, divisive, and dead set on returning Trump to power. ![]() Free Download John Hope Bryant, Jeremy (Midnite) Michael Durm (Narrator), "Financial Literacy For All: Disrupting Struggle, Advancing Financial Freedom, and Building a New American Middle Class" English | ASIN: B0D18RB5X7 | 2024 | MP3@64 kbps | ~04:10:00 | 115 MB Former vice-chairman of the U.S. President's Advisory Council on Financial Literacy, John Hope Bryant, delivers an accessible and powerful resource for everyday Americans seeking to build a strong financial foundation.

America's greatest living essayist writes about life and aging and being all too nicely out of it. In these personal pieces, he takes on topics as varied as grieving for a dead son, learning Latin late in life, and the pleasures of living with cats. Epstein gives us a "bonfire of his own vanities," his thoughts about why watching sports is so impossibly seductive, what it is like to be short, and why he misses smoking even decades as a health-obsessed non-smoker. Above all, he writes about the literary life and the endless joys that reading and writing have brought to a self-confessed "lucky man." ![]() Free Download Everything Must Go: The Stories We Tell About the End of the World (Audiobook) English | ASIN: B0CN1TDN9T | 2024 | 14 hours and 50 minutes | M4B@64 kbps | 426 MB Author: Dorian Lynskey Narrator: Dorian Lynskey A riveting and brilliantly original exploration of our fantasies of the end of the world, from Mary Shelley's The Last Man to Marvel's Avengers: Age of Ultron, by the Baillie Gifford and Orwell prize-shortlisted writer and co-host of the podcast 'Origin Story'. For two millennia, Christians have looked forward to the end, haunted by the apocalyptic visions of the Biblical books of Daniel and Revelation. But for two centuries or more, these dark fantasies have given way to secular stories of how the world, our planet, or our species (or all of the above) might come to an end. Dorian Lynskey's fascinating book explores the endings that we have read, listened to or watched over the last two dozen decades, whether they be by the death and destruction of a nuclear holocaust or collision with a meteor or comet, devastating epidemic or takeover by robots or computers. The result is nothing less than a cultural history of the modern world, weaving together politics, history, science, high and popular culture in a book that is uniquely original, grippingly readable and deeply illuminating about both us and our times. ![]() Free Download Every Living Thing: The Great and Deadly Race to Know All Life (Audiobook) English | ASIN: B0CBCXND3Q | 2024 | 14 hours and 2 minutes | M4B@64 kbps | 407 MB Author: Jason Roberts Narrator: David de Vries An epic, extraordinary account of scientific rivalry and obsession in the quest to survey all of life on Earth-a competition whose consequences still reverberate today-from the bestselling author. In the eighteenth century, two men-exact contemporaries and polar opposites-dedicated their lives to the same daunting task: identifying and describing all life on Earth. Carl Linnaeus, a pious Swedish doctor with a huckster's flair, believed that life belonged in tidy, static categories. Georges-Louis de Buffon, an aristocratic polymath and keeper of France's royal garden, viewed life as a dynamic swirl of complexities. Each began his task believing it to be difficult but not impossible: How could the planet possibly hold more than a few thousand species-or as many could fit on Noah's Ark? ![]() Free Download Everest, Inc.: The Renegades and Rogues Who Built an Industry at the Top of the World (Audiobook) English | ASIN: B0C87MFFVB | 2024 | 9 hours and 59 minutes | M4B@64 kbps | 291 MB Author: Will Cockrell Narrator: Pete Simonelli Featuring original interviews with mountain guides and climbers-including Jimmy Chin and Conrad Anker-this vivid and authoritative adventure history chronicles one of the least likely industries on Earth: guided climbing on Mount Everest. Anyone who has read Jon Krakauer's Into Thin Air or has seen a recent photo of climbers standing in line to get to the top of Everest may think they have the mountain pretty well figured out. It's an extreme landscape where bad weather and incredible altitude can occasionally kill, but more so an overcrowded, trashed-out recreation destination where rich clients pad their egos-and social media feeds-while exploiting local Sherpas. There's some truth to these clichés, but they're a sliver of the story. Unlike any book to date, Everest, Inc. gets to the heart of the mountain through the definitive story of its greatest invention: the Himalayan guiding industry. ![]() Free Download Escape: How a Generation Shaped, Destroyed and Survived the Internet (Audiobook) English | 01 September 2022 | ASIN: B0B3DR4JGC (UK) | M4B@128 kbps | 7h 20m | 400 MB Author: Marie Le Conte | Narrator: Yolanda Kettle 'Fifteen years ago, the internet felt like a special place my friends and I had built for each other; by 2020, we were standing on its ruins, wondering if we'd played a part in its destruction.'

She had her first blog at twelve, a successful music website at fifteen, a Wikipedia page at seventeen and now, at thirty, over 80,000 followers on Twitter. From MSN, Tumblr and MySpace, to chat rooms, forums and blogs; Marie is part of the millennial generation that grew up while the internet was growing up with them. ![]() Free Download Emotional Rescue: Essays on Love, Loss, and Life - with a Soundtrack (Audiobook) English | August 01, 2016 | ASIN: B01HIITVC4 | M4B@64 kbps | 4h 26m | 122 MB Author: Ben Greenman | Narrator: Dan John Miller What songs have made up your life's soundtrack? Which have captured your every mood and deepest sentiments? Pop music, like no other form of entertainment or art, is capable of articulating our feelings, desires, joy, and pain. In a few soul-grabbing minutes, artists from every genre - from Little Richard to Lou Reed, Willie Nelson to Wu-Tang Clan, Sly and the Family Stone to the Rolling Stones - can help us understand our place in our own lives. This collection of short, sharp essays by New York Times bestselling author Ben Greenman (Mo' Meta Blues), organized around a thematic playlist of songs, serves as a reminder of the lyrical power of songwriting and the sonic ability of pop to capture the human experience. Greenman's wit, insight, and honesty are as sweet and satisfying as the hits (and the deep cuts) at the center of each essay. |
