Author: Dr. Max Nieuwdorp
Narrator: Joe Eyre
From a world-leading hormones specialist, the definitive book on the science of hormones and how understanding the secrets of our body's messengers can revolutionise our health and wellbeing. Hormones are the messengers that drive every process in our body. They are essential to how we grow, fight disease and digest food; why we struggle to sleep, lose weight and manage stress - and so much more. When our hormones are imbalanced this can wreak havoc on our health, leading to conditions as far reaching as diabetes, infertility and heart disease. They also influence our personalities, how we feel and even the decisions we make. And yet for too long the power of our body's messengers has been overlooked.

English | ASIN: B0CL7WM2FT | 2024 | 8 hours and 3 minutes | M4B@64 kbps | 238 MB
Author: James Shapiro
Narrator: Gabra Zackman
A brilliant and daring account of a culture war over the place of theater in American democracy in the 1930s, one that anticipates our current divide, by the acclaimed Shakespeare scholar James Shapiro. From 1935 to 1939, the Federal Theatre Project staged over a thousand productions in 29 states that were seen by thirty million (or nearly one in four) Americans, two thirds of whom had never seen a play before. At its helm was an unassuming theater professor, Hallie Flanagan. It employed, at its peak, over twelve thousand struggling artists, some of whom, like Orson Welles and Arthur Miller, would soon be famous, but most of whom were just ordinary people eager to work again at their craft. It was the product of a moment when the arts, no less than industry and agriculture, were thought to be vital to the health of the republic, bringing Shakespeare to the public, alongside modern plays that confronted the pressing issues of the day-from slum housing and public health to racism and the rising threat of fascism.

Editor: Scott G. Bruce | Narrator: Edoardo Ballerini
Three thousand years of visions of hell, from the ancient Near East to modern America
From the Hebrew Bible's shadowy realm of Sheol to 21st-century visions of Hell on Earth, The Penguin Book of Hell takes us through 3000 years of eternal damnation. Along the way, you'll take a ferry ride with Aeneas to Hades, across the river Acheron; meet the Devil as imagined by a 12th-century Irish monk - a monster with a thousand giant hands; wander the nine circles of Hell in Dante's Inferno, in which gluttons, liars, heretics, murderers, and hypocrites are made to endure crime-appropriate torture; and witness the debates that raged in Victorian England when new scientific advances cast doubt on the idea of an eternal hereafter.

Free Download The Other Olympians: Fascism, Queerness, and the Making of Modern Sports (Audiobook)
English | ASIN: B0CKM2G1VQ | 2024 | 9 hours and 31 minutes | M4B@64 kbps | 274 MB
Author: Michael Waters
Narrator: Jennifer Pickens
The story of the early trans athletes and Olympic bureaucrats who lit the flame for today's culture wars. In December 1935, Zdeněk Koubek, one of the most famous sprinters in European women's sports, declared he was now living as a man. Around the same time, the celebrated British field athlete Mark Weston, also assigned female at birth, announced that he, too, was a man. Periodicals and radio programs across the world carried the news; both became global celebrities. A few decades later, they were all but forgotten. And in the wake of their transitions, what could have been a push toward equality became instead, through a confluence of bureaucracy, war, and sheer happenstance, the exact opposite: the now all-too-familiar panic around trans, intersex, and gender nonconforming athletes.

Free Download The Originalism Trap: How Extremists Stole the Constitution and How We the People Can Take It Back (Audiobook)
English | ASIN: B0CKM28XRH | 2024 | 7 hours and 21 minutes | M4B@128 kbps | 412 MB
Author: Madiba K. Dennie
Narrator: Madiba K. Dennie
A rallying cry for a more just approach to the law that bolsters social justice movements by throwing out originalism-the theory that judges should interpret the Constitution exactly as conservatives say the Founders meant it. There is no one true way to interpret the Constitution, but that's not what originalists want you to think. They'd rather we be held hostage to their "objective" theory that our rights and liberties are bound by history-an idea that was once confined to the fringes of academia. Americans saw just how subjective originalism can be when the Supreme Court cherry-picked the past to deny bodily autonomy to millions of Americans in Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health. Though originalism is supposed to be a serious intellectual theory, a closer look reveals its many inherent faults, as it deliberately over-emphasizes a version of history that treats civil rights gains as categorically suspect.

Author: Adam Nimoy
Narrator: Adam Nimoy
Living with Dad was like living with a stranger-as a kid I often had trouble connecting and relating to him. But I was always proud of him. Even before Star Trek, I'd see him popping up in bit roles on some of my favorite TV shows like Get Smart, Sea Hunt, and The Man From U.N.C.L.E. And then one night he brought home Polaroids of himself in makeup and wardrobe for a pilot he was working on. It was December 1964 and nobody had heard of Star Trek. Still, the eight-year-old me had watched enough Outer Limits and My Favorite Martian to understand exactly what I was looking at. Spock's popularity happened quickly, and soon the fan magazines were writing about dad's personal life, characterizing us as a "close family."

Discover the rich history of Britain's millennia-old network of pathways, and it will be impossible to take an unremarkable walk again.

It is Jack Cornish's hope that The Lost Paths will show just how special these forgotten rights of way are, and how embedded each path is in the history of Britain. Footpaths, tracks, country lanes and urban streets illuminate how our ancestors interacted with and shaped their landscapes in the pursuit of commerce, salvation, escape, war and leisure.
