Author: James P. Pinkerton
Narrator: Tom Parks
To know the trend, spot the trend, or shape the trend is to make money. The trend is your friend-investors know that. But the biggest money comes from the biggest events. The more delta, the more alpha. In that spirit, The Secret of Directional Investing offers a new way of thinking about investing, steeped in culture and history. Focusing on megatrends, this book points out ways to profit from an understanding of two kinds of trends: those that can be spotted, and those that can be shaped. There's money in both. The Romans weren't kidding when they said, Audentes Fortuna luvat-Fortune favors the bold. The Secret of Directional Investing is a bold look at investments and potential investments.

From two mind-body practitioners comes the new essential self-healing bible-a revolutionary body-first guide to reducing stress, curing long-term pain, and healing from trauma for good using your body's own nervous system. Your autonomic nervous system is responsible for the constant but mostly subconscious communication between your brain and body. When you experience stress, anxiety, or trauma, your nervous system formulates responses to keep you alive. But you can also become trapped in survival mode if you're consistently exposed to unsafe environments, toxic relationships, or destructive thought patterns.

Author: Lesley-Ann Jones | Narrator: Rebecca Gethings

Late on December 8, 1980, the world abruptly stopped turning for millions, as news broke that the world's most beloved musician had been gunned down in cold blood in New York City. The most iconic Beatle left behind an unrivaled body of music and legions of faithful disciples - yet his profound legacy has brought with it as many questions and contradictions as his music has provided truths and certainties.

Free Download Kevin P. Riehle, Nigel Patterson (Narrator), "The Russian FSB: A Concise History of the Federal Security Service"
English | ASIN: B0D38BTSK3 | 2024 | MP3@64 kbps | ~07:00:00 | 193 MB
Since its founding in 1995, the FSB, Russia's Federal Security Service, has regained the majority of the domestic security functions of the Soviet-era KGB. Under Vladimir Putin, who served as FSB director just before becoming president, the agency has grown to be one of the most powerful and favored organizations in Russia. The FSB not only conducts internal security but also has primacy in intelligence operations in former Soviet states. Their activities include anti-dissident operations at home and abroad, counterintelligence, counterterrorism, criminal investigations of crimes against the state, and guarding Russia's borders.
In The Russian FSB, Kevin P. Riehle provides a brief history of the FSB's origins, placed within the context of Russian history, the government's power structure, and Russia's wider culture. He describes how the FSB's mindset and priorities show continuities from the tsarist regimes and the Soviet era. The book's chapters analyze origins, organizational structure, missions, leaders, international partners, and cultural representations such as the FSB in film and television.
Based on both English and Russian sources, this book is a well-researched introduction to understanding the FSB and its central role in Putin's Russia.

Free Download The Resurrection (Audiobook)
English | January 13, 2009 | ASIN: B001PNLKBY | M4B@64 kbps | 16h 52m | 460 MB
Author: Leo Tolstoy | Narrator: Simon Vance
Leo Tolstoy stands tall among the great Russian novelists of the 19th century. Tolstoy based Resurrection, the last of his novels, on a true story of a philanderer whose misuse of a beautiful young orphan girl leads to her ruin. Fate brings the two together many years later, and the meeting awakens the man's moral conscience. Anger, intimacy, forgiveness, and grace result.
While the situation of Tolstoy's Description is alien to most people, his nuanced treatment of mortal life is familiar to all. Later in his life Tolstoy confessed that he earlier had seduced two young girls for his pleasure. Perhaps his own deeds and their horrible consequences motivated him to write this novel with special passion. It is a particularly moving tale.

Free Download The Race to the Future: 8000 Miles to Paris - The Adventure That Accelerated the Twentieth Century (Audiobook)
English | ASIN: B0D428DWHQ | 2024 | 10 hours and 00 minutes | M4B@64 kbps | 276 MB
Author: Kassia St. Clair
Narrator: Kassia St. Clair
The racers battle over steep inclines, through narrow mountain passages, and across the arid Gobi Desert. Competitors endure torrential rain and choking dust. There are barely any roads, and petrol is almost impossible to find. More than its many adventures, the Peking-to-Paris Motor Challenge took place on the precipice of a new world. As the twentieth century dawned, imperial regimes in China and Russia were crumbling, paving the way for the rise of communist ones. The electric telegraph was rapidly transforming modern communication, and with it, the news media, commerce, and politics. Suspended between the old and the new, the Peking-to-Paris, as bestselling historian Kassia St. Clair writes, became a critical tipping point. A gripping, immersive narrative of the race, The Race to the Future sets the drivers' derring-do (and occasional cheating) against the backdrop of a larger geopolitical and technological race to the future. Interweaving events from the fall of the Qing dynasty to the departure of the horse economy and the rise of gendered marketing, St. Clair shows how the Peking-to-Paris provided an impetus for profound social, cultural, and industrial change, while masterfully capturing the mounting tensions between nations and empires-all building up to the cataclysmic event that changed everything: the First World War.
