Free Download Defiant Dreams: The Journey of an Afghan Girl Who Risked Everything for Education (Audiobook)
English | ASIN: B0BJ57HBBN | 2023 | 9 hours and 00 minutes | M4B@64 kbps | 260 MB
Author: Sola Mahfouz, Malaina Kapoor
Narrator: Ariana Delawari
A searing, deeply personal memoir of a tenacious Afghan girl who educated herself behind closed doors and fought her way to a new life. "Stories like this inspire me. Seeing the way people like Sola Mahfouz think about the world reinforces my optimism about the future."―BILL GATES. Sola Mahfouz was born in Afghanistan in 1996. That same year, the Taliban took over her country for the first time. They banned television and photographs, presided over brutal public executions, and turned the clock backwards on women's rights, practically imprisoning women within their own homes and forcing them to wear all-concealing burqas. At age eleven, Sola was forced to stop attending school after a group of men threatened to throw acid in her face if she continued. After that she was confined to her home, required to cook and clean and prepare for an arranged marriage. She saw the outside world only a handful of times each year.

Free Download Decades of Decadence: How Our Spoiled Elites Blew America's Inheritance of Liberty, Security, and Prosperity (Audiobook)
English | ASIN: B0BKMHHPYX | 2023 | 8 hours and 11 minutes | M4B@64 kbps | 234 MB
Author: Marco Rubio
Narrator: Marco Rubio
Thirty years of telling Americans they don't need families, communities, or a shared history is destroying what made our country the envy of the world. While many Americans have worried about China, open borders, opioids, failing communities, and families in crisis, our elites have told us that's all fine because it's not only inevitable; it's for the best. Every part of our nation is now in decline, and it's all connected. In Decades of Decadence, Marco Rubio exposes the elites' attacks on the four key elements of American strength: good local jobs, stable families, geographical communities, and a sovereign nation that serves as a beacon of freedom and prosperity.

Free Download Cracking the China Conundrum: Why Conventional Economic Wisdom Is Wrong (Audiobook)
English | ASIN: B0C5S3GM59 | 2023 | 11 hours and 10 minutes | M4B@64 kbps | 321 MB
Author: Yukon Huang
Narrator: James Sie
China's rise is altering global power relations, reshaping economic debates, and commanding tremendous public attention. Despite extensive media and academic scrutiny, the conventional wisdom about China's economy is often wrong. Cracking the China Conundrum provides a holistic and contrarian view of China's major economic, political, and foreign policy issues. Yukon Huang trenchantly addresses widely accepted yet misguided views in the analysis of China's economy. Huang explains that misconceptions arise in part because China's economic system is unprecedented in many ways-namely because it's driven by both the market and state-which complicates the task of designing accurate and adaptable analysis and research.

Free Download Counterpunch: An Unlikely Alliance of Americans Fighting Back for Faith and Freedom (Audiobook)
English | ASIN: B0BX4SQ16Z | 2023 | 14 hours and 59 minutes | M4B@128 kbps | 816 MB
Author: Floyd G. Brown
Narrator: Floyd G. Brown
In his groundbreaking new book, Counterpunch, Floyd G. Brown issues both the battle cry and a strategic action plan for a populist movement in America that goes beyond any president or political party. Issue by issue, the Left chooses new markers in the sand and waits to see who will embrace their agenda. Those who don't are canceled and silenced. This leads to alienation and the feeling that violence is the only option left. Brown wants listeners to know there is another way, a civil disobedience of the state that allows us to be peaceful-and potentially more successful.

Free Download Comet Madness: How the 1910 Return of Halley's Comet (Almost) Destroyed Civilization (Audiobook)
English | ASIN: B0C5K3B48D | 2023 | 10 hours and 00 minutes | M4B@64 kbps | 289 MB
Author: Richard J. Goodrich
Narrator: Peter Lerman
Since the dawn of civilization, humans had believed comets were evil portents. In 1705, Edmond Halley liberated humanity from these primordial superstitions, proving that Newtonian mechanics rather than the will of the gods brought comets into our celestial neighborhood. Despite this scientific advance, when Halley's Comet returned in 1910, newspapers gleefully provoked a global hysteria that unfolded with tragic consequences. In Comet Madness, author and historian Richard J. Goodrich examines the 1910 appearance of Halley's Comet and the ensuing frenzy sparked by media manipulation, bogus science, and outright deception.

Author: Scott Patterson
Narrator: Eric Yang
Written by a veteran Wall Street Journal reporter, this is a fascinating deep dive into the world of billion-dollar traders and high-stakes crisis predictors who strive to turn extreme events into financial windfalls. There's no doubt that our world has gotten more extreme. Pandemics, climate change, superpower rivalries, cyberattacks, political radicalization-virtually, everywhere we look there is mayhem bearing down on us, putting trillions of assets at risk. And at least two factions have formed around how to respond. In Chaos Kings, Scott Patterson depicts how one faction, led by Nassim Nicholas Taleb, bestselling author, believes humans can never see the big disaster coming. In their view, extreme events-so-called Black Swans-while inevitable, will always catch us by surprise.

Free Download Burn It Down: Power, Complicity, and a Call for Change in Hollywood (Audiobook)
English | ASIN: B0BGMM3NZJ | 2023 | 13 hours and 54 minutes | M4B@64 kbps | 396 MB
Author: Maureen Ryan
Narrator: Samara Naeymi
An exposé of patterns of harassment and bias in Hollywood, the grassroots reforms under way, and the labor and activist revolutions that recent scandals have ignited. It is never just One Bad Man. Abuse and exploitation of workers is baked into the very foundations of the entertainment industry. To break the cycle and make change that sticks, it's important to stop looking at headline-making stories as individual events. Instead, one must look closely at the bigger picture, to see how abusers are created, fed, rewarded, allowed to persist, and, with the right tools, how they can be excised. In Burn It Down, veteran reporter Maureen Ryan does just that. She draws on decades of experience to connect the dots and illuminate the deeper forces sustaining Hollywood's corrosive culture.

Free Download Break the Wheel: Ending the Cycle of Police Violence (Audiobook)
English | ASIN: B0BHXH1Q4H | 2023 | 9 hours and 51 minutes | M4B@64 kbps | 282 MB
Author: Keith Ellison
Narrator: Keith Ellison, Willis Williams
With this powerful and intimate trial diary, Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison asks the key question: How do we break the wheel of police violence and finally make it stop? The murder of George Floyd sparked global outrage. At the center of the conflict and the controversy, Keith Ellison grappled with the means of bringing justice for Floyd and his family. Now, in this riveting account of the Derek Chauvin trial, Ellison takes the listener down the path his prosecutors took, offering different breakthroughs and revelations for a defining, generational moment of racial reckoning and social justice understanding. Each chapter of BREAK THE WHEEL goes spoke to spoke along the wheel of the system as Ellison examines the roles of prosecutors, defendants, heads of police unions, judges, activists, legislators, politicians, and media figures, each in his attempt to end this chain of violence and replace it with empathy and shared insight. Ellison's analysis of George Floyd's life and the rich trial context he provides demonstrates that, while it may seem like an unattainable goal, lasting change and justice can be achieved.
