Author: Megan E. Birney
Narrator: Lianne Walker
Self and Identity: The Basics is a jargon-free and accessible introduction that draws on key theories and ideas in social psychology to explore the ways that other people affect our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Highlighting selfhood as a function of identity, the book shows that it is our relationships with others in our social world that largely determine who we are. "Who am I?" It's a question that most all humans have grappled with at some point or another. This book seeks to answer this question through relatable examples that show how psychological theory can be applied to our own lives.

Free Download Seeing Red: Indigenous Land, American Expansion, and the Political Economy of Plunder in North America (Audiobook)
English | ASIN: B0CNB3PKRV | 2023 | 13 hours and 37 minutes | M4B@64 kbps | 396 MB
Author: Michael John Witgen
Narrator: Kaipo Schwab
Against long odds, the Anishinaabeg resisted removal, retaining thousands of acres of their homeland in what is now Michigan, Wisconsin, and Minnesota. Their success rested partly on their roles as sellers of natural resources and buyers of trade goods, which made them key players in the political economy of plunder that drove white settlement and US development in the Old Northwest. But, as Michael Witgen demonstrates, the credit for Native persistence rested with the Anishinaabeg themselves. Outnumbering white settlers well into the nineteenth century, they leveraged their political savvy to advance a dual citizenship that enabled mixed-race tribal members to lay claim to a place in US civil society. Telling the stories of mixed-race traders and missionaries, tribal leaders and territorial governors, Witgen challenges our assumptions about the inevitability of US expansion. Deeply researched and passionately written, Seeing Red will command attention from listeners who are invested in the enduring issues of equality, equity, and national belonging at its core.

English | ASIN: B0BWKC8G81 | 2023 | 12 hours and 32 minutes | M4B@64 kbps | 362 MB
Author: Ryan J. Reilly
Narrator: Ryan J. Reilly
The January 6th attack is an unprecedented crime in American history. Sprawling and openly political, it can't be handled by the traditional rules and norms of law enforcement-threatening the very idea of justice and its role in society. The attack on the Capitol building following the 2020 election was an extraordinarily large and brazen crime. Conspiracies were formed on social media in full public view, the law-breakers paraded on national television with undisguised faces, and with outgoing President Donald Trump openly cheering them on. The basic concept of law enforcement-investigators find criminals and serve justice-quickly breaks down in the face of such an event. The system has been strained by the sheer volume of criminals and the widespread perception that what they did wasn't wrong.

Author: Hanna Hagen Bjørgaas
Narrator: Mary Helen Gallucci
Come along on an informative, whirlwind tour of urban species and discover that you are surrounded by wild nature, even in your own backyard. When biologist Hanna Bjørgaas spots a fairy cup lichen in Antarctica, she is surprised to recognize it from her own backyard in Oslo. When she returns home, she embarks on a journey into urban nature, visiting city parks, cemeteries, and concrete rooftops to investigate the species that live in urban spaces. Along the way, she meets corvids, songbirds, ants, pigeons, bats, sparrows, fungi, and linden trees-and the experts who study their surprising abilities to survive, and thrive, in the city. As Bjørgaas discovers, urban nature-and its unique mixture of species that have never lived together before in Earth's history-is valuable. More than half of the world's human population lives in densely populated areas-and plants and animals have followed us into cities. Secret Life of the City invites us to pay more attention to the sounds, sights, and smells of urban nature right outside our door. A treasure trove of fascinating flora and fauna, this wonderful book offers a plea to save our city plants, animals, and fungi before we lose them, too.

Free Download Saving the Planet Without the Bullshit: What They Don't Tell You About the Climate Crisis (Audiobook)
English | ASIN: B0C11LWML3 | 2023 | 8 hours and 32 minutes | M4B@64 kbps | 242 MB
Author: Assaad Razzouk
Narrator: Homer Todiwala
Have you heard that you should plant trees to save the planet? Or buy carbon offsets when you fly? Or recycle plastic? Go vegan? Or not have children? What if all these actions were a distraction, no matter how well-intentioned? In this provocative manifesto, Assaad Razzouk shows that for too long our ideas about what's best for the environment have been unfocused and distracted, trying to go in too many directions and concentrating on individual behavior. While some of these things can be useful, they are dwarfed by one big thing that simply has to happen very soon if we're to avoid major environmental breakdown: curtailing the activities of the fossil fuel industry. Full of counter-intuitive statistics and positive suggestions for individual and collective action, this ingenious book will change how you view the climate crisis.

Free Download Same as Ever: A Guide to What Never Changes (Audiobook)
English | ASIN: B0C1HRH2RH | 2023 | 5 hours and 46 minutes | M4B@128 kbps | 321 MB
Author: Morgan Housel
Narrator: Chris Hill
From the author of the international blockbuster, a powerful new tool to unlock one of life's most challenging puzzles. Every investment plan under the sun is, at best, an informed speculation of what may happen in the future, based on a systematic extrapolation from the known past. Same as Ever reverses the process, inviting us to identify the many things that never, ever change. With his usual elan, Morgan Housel presents a master class on optimizing risk, seizing opportunity, and living your best life. Through a sequence of engaging stories and pithy examples, he shows how we can use our newfound grasp of the unchanging to see around corners, not by squinting harder through the uncertain landscape of the future, but by looking backwards, being more broad-sighted, and focusing instead on what is permanently true. By doing so, we may better anticipate the big stuff, and achieve the greatest success, not merely financial comforts, but most importantly, a life well lived.

Free Download Sailing the Graveyard Sea: The Deathly Voyage of the Somers, the U.S. Navy's Only Mutiny, and the Trial That Gripped the Nation (Audiobook)
English | ASIN: B0BY3P74LS | 2023 | 8 hours and 4 minutes | M4B@64 kbps | 228 MB
Author: Richard Snow
Narrator: Jacques Roy
A riveting account of the only mutiny in the history of the United States Navy-a little-known event that cost three innocent young men their lives-part murder mystery, part courtroom drama, and as propulsive and dramatic as the bestselling novels of Patrick O'Brian. On December 16, 1842, the US brig-of-war Somers dropped anchor in Brooklyn Harbor at the end of a cruise intended to teach a group of adolescents the rudiments of naval life. But this seemingly harmless exercise ended in catastrophe. Commander Alexander Slidell Mackenzie came ashore saying he had narrowly prevented a mutiny that would have left him and his officers dead. Some of the thwarted mutineers were being held under guard, but three had been hanged: Boatswain's Mate Samuel Cromwell, Seaman Elisha Small, and Acting Midshipman Philip Spencer, whose father was the secretary of war, John Spencer. Eighteen-year-old Philip Spencer, according to Mackenzie, had been the ringleader who encouraged the crew to seize the ship and become pirates, raping and pillaging their way across the old Spanish Main.

Free Download Sad Happens: A Celebration of Tears (Audiobook)

Author: Brandon Stosuy, Rose Lazar
Narrator: Brandon Stosuy, Deanna Anthony, Reena Dutt, Cynthia Farrell, Em Grosland, Nikki Massoud, George Newbern, André Santana, Eric Yang
A beautifully illustrated, celebratory anthology exploring sadness-and the transformative power of tears. When was the last time you cried? Was it because you were sad? Or happy? Overwhelmed, or frustrated? Maybe from relief or from pride? Was it in public or in private? Did you feel better afterwards, or worse? The reasons that we cry-and the circumstances in which we shed a tear-are often surprising and beautiful. Sad Happens is a collective, multi-faceted archive of tears that captures the complexity and variety of these circumstances. Brimming with humanity, this anthology is confirmation that sad happens-but so does joy, love, a sense of community, and a host of other emotions. By turns moving and affirming, Sad Happens is an emotional balm and visual delight.
