Free Download Post-Liberalism: Recovering a Shared World (Audiobook)
English | August 27, 2019 | ASIN: B07WD5YSKZ | MP3@64 kbps | 7h 9m | 192.06 MB
Author: Fred Dallmayr
Narrator: Sean Runnette
Liberal democracy is the dominant political ideology in the West today. Taken at face value it suggests an equivalency between its two central components-liberalism and democracy - but as Fred Dallmayr argues here, the two operate in very different registers. The two frequently conflict, endangering our public life. This is evident in the rise of self-centered neo-liberalism as well as autocratic movements in our world today.

Free Download Politics on the Edge: A Memoir from Within (Audiobook)
English | ASIN: B0C1KWZXH2 | 2023 | 16 hours and 20 minutes | M4B@128 kbps | 884 MB
Author: Rory Stewart
Narrator: Rory Stewart
From the former Conservative Cabinet minister and co-presenter of 2022's breakout hit podcast The Rest is Politics, a searing insider's account of ten extraordinary years in Parliament. Over the course of a decade from 2010, Rory Stewart went from being a political outsider to standing for prime minister - before being sacked from a Conservative Party that he had come to barely recognise. Tackling ministerial briefs on flood response and prison violence, engaging with conflict and poverty abroad as a foreign minister, and Brexit as a Cabinet minister, Stewart learned first-hand how profoundly hollow and inadequate our democracy and government had become.

Free Download Pockets: An Intimate History of How We Keep Things Close (Audiobook)
English | ASIN: B0BZX1F3VW | 2023 | 6 hours and 38 minutes | M4B@128 kbps | 372 MB
Author: Hannah Carlson
Narrator: Stephanie Cannon
A thought-provoking microhistory of the humble pocket that uncovers what pockets reveal about us-and why it matters. It's a subject that stirs up plenty of passion: Why do men's clothes have so many pockets and women's so few? In her captivating book, Hannah Carlson, a lecturer in dress history at the Rhode Island School of Design, shows us how we tuck gender politics, security, sexuality, and privilege inside our pockets. Throughout the medieval era in Europe, the purse was an almost universal dress feature carried by men and women alike. But when tailors stitched the first pockets into men's trousers 500 years ago, it ignited controversy and introduced a range of social issues that we continue to wrestle with today, from concealed pistols to gender inequality, as noted in hashtags like #GiveMePocketsOrGiveMeDeath. This abundantly illustrated book explores much more than who has pockets and why. How is it that putting your hands in your pocket can be seen as a sign of laziness, arrogance, confidence, or perversion? Walt Whitman's author photograph, hand in pocket, for Leaves of Grass, seemed like an affront to middle class respectability. When W.E.B. DuBois posed for a portrait, his pocketed hands signaled defiant coolness. Pockets is a perfect gift for the legions of people obsessed with pockets and their absence, and for anyone interested in how our clothes influence the way we navigate the world.

Free Download Plato of Athens: A Life in Philosophy (Audiobook)
English | ASIN: B0CGJP1FXT | 2023 | 9 hours and 52 minutes | M4B@64 kbps | 287 MB
Author: Robin Waterfield
Narrator: Tristam Summers
Considered by many to be the most important philosopher ever, Plato was born into a well-to-do family in wartime Athens at the end of the fifth century BCE. He finally decided to go into politics, but became disillusioned, especially after the Athenians condemned his teacher, Socrates, to death. He began teaching in his twenties and later founded the Academy, the world's first higher-educational research and teaching establishment. Eventually, he returned to practical politics and spent a considerable amount of time and energy trying to create a constitution for Syracuse in Sicily that would reflect and perpetuate some of his political ideals.

Free Download Pessoa: A Biography (Audiobook)
English | ASIN: B0CBW3KH44 | 2023 | 42 hours and 45 minutes | M4B@64 kbps | 1.2 GB
Author: Richard Zenith
Narrator: Nigel Patterson
Like Richard Ellmann's James Joyce, Richard Zenith's Pessoa immortalizes the life of one of the twentieth century's greatest writers. Nearly a century after his wrenching death, the Portuguese poet Fernando Pessoa (1888-1935) remains one of our most enigmatic writers. Believing he could do "more in dreams than Napoleon," yet haunted by the specter of hereditary madness, Pessoa invented dozens of alter egos, or "heteronyms," under whose names he wrote in Portuguese, English, and French. Unsurprisingly, this "most multifarious of writers" (Guardian) has long eluded a definitive biographer-but in renowned translator and Pessoa scholar Richard Zenith, he has met his match.

Free Download Personality Tests and What They Can Tell Us (Audiobook)
English | ASIN: B0BL96D81S | 2022 | 2 hours and 58 minutes | M4B@192 kbps | 246 MB
Author: Jaime Kurtz, The Great Courses
Narrator: Jaime Kurtz
The ancient Greek maxim "know thyself" speaks to the age-old human desire for self-understanding. Generations have made countless attempts to force the very subjective concept of self-understanding into a scientific measurement of what makes us us. From these endeavors have emerged a selection of questionnaires that purport to measure our personality, which we can then use to help us determine what will likely make us happy or unhappy, in which environments will we thrive, what methods of communications we respond best to, and-in general-who we are.

Narrator: Jen Lumanlan
Do your children resist doing every single thing you ask them to do? Is getting in the car seat (or toothbrushing or sugar or screen time) a constant challenge? Discover how to make parenting easier-and raise liberated children who will grow up to change the world. Our children don't really learn about White supremacy, patriarchy, and capitalism from what we tell them; they learn it from how we interact with them every day. Research-based parenting educator Jen Lumanlan offers The Problem-Solving Approach, a simple yet revolutionary framework for rethinking our relationships with children. Even conventional discipline methods like time-outs, countdowns, and "consequences" teach children that more powerful people can control others-a lesson they take out into the world.

Free Download Paddy Mayne: Lt Col Blair 'Paddy' Mayne, 1 SAS Regiment (Audiobook)
English | ASIN: B0CD8YN828 | 2023 | 11 hours and 36 minutes | M4B@64 kbps | 331 MB
Author: Hamish Ross
Narrator: Alan Turkington
'Paddy' Mayne was one of the most outstanding special forces leaders of the Second World War. Hamish Ross's authoritative study follows Mayne from solicitor and a rugby international to troop commander in the Commandos and then the SAS, whose leader he later became and whose annals he graced, winning the DSO and three bars, the Croix de Guerre and the Légion d'Honneur. Mayne's achievements attracted attention, and after his early death legends emerged, based largely on anecdote and assertion. Hamish Ross's closely researched biography challenges much of the received version, using contemporary sources, the official war diaries, the chronicle of 1 SAS, Mayne's papers and diaries, and a number of extended interviews with key contemporaries. It has the support of the Mayne family and the SAS Regimental Association. In Ross's analysis Mayne is a dynamic, yet principled and thoughtful man, committed to the unit's original concepts; not flawless, but whose leadership qualities and tactical brilliance in the field secured the reputation of the SAS.
