Free Download Seeing Others: How Recognition Works-and How It Can Heal a Divided World (Audiobook)
English | ASIN: B0BW22RVKF | 2023 | 5 hours and 56 minutes | M4B@128 kbps | 332 MB
Author: Michèle Lamont
Narrator: Jane Oppenheimer
Acclaimed Harvard sociologist makes the case for reexamining what we value to prioritize recognition-the quest for respect-in an age that has been defined by growing inequality and the obsolescence of the American dream. In this capstone work, Michèle Lamont unpacks the power of recognition-rendering others as visible and valued-by drawing on nearly forty years of research and new interviews with young adults, and with cultural icons and change agents who intentionally practice recognition-from Nikole Hannah Jones and Cornel West to Michael Schur and Roxane Gay. She shows how new narratives are essential for everyone to feel respect and assert their dignity. Decades of neoliberalism have negatively impacted our sense of self-worth, up and down the income ladder, just as the American dream has become out of reach for most people.

Author: Paul Hay
Narrator: Roman Howell
How the notion of unique eras influenced the Roman view of time and the narration of history from various perspectives. The Victorian Era. The Age of Enlightenment. The post-9/11 years. We are accustomed to demarcating history, fencing off one period from the next. But societies have not always operated in this way. Paul Hay returns to Rome in the first century BCE to glimpse the beginnings of periodization as it is still commonly practiced, exploring how the ancient Romans developed a novel sense of time and used it to construct their views of the past and of the possibilities of the future.

Free Download Rome and Persia: The Seven Hundred Year Rivalry (Audiobook)
English | ASIN: B0BWGHMJR5 | 2023 | 20 hours and 25 minutes | M4B@64 kbps | 587 MB
Author: Adrian Goldsworthy
Narrator: Mark Elstob
The epic rivalry between the ancient world's two great superpowers. The Roman empire was like no other. Stretching from the north of Britain to the Sahara, and from the Atlantic coast to the Euphrates, it imposed peace and prosperity on an unprecedented scale. Its only true rival lay in the east, where the Parthian and then Persian empires ruled over great cities and the trade routes to mysterious lands beyond. This was the region Alexander the Great had swept through, creating a dream of glory and conquest that tantalized Greeks and Romans alike. Tracing seven centuries of conflict between Rome and Persia, historian Adrian Goldsworthy shows how these two great powers evolved together. Despite their endless clashes, trade between the empires enriched them both, and a mutual respect prevented both Rome and Persia from permanently destroying the other. Epic in scope, Rome and Persia completely reshapes our understanding of one of the greatest rivalries of world history.
