Free Download Thinking with Your Hands: The Surprising Science Behind How Gestures Shape Our Thoughts (Audiobook)
English | ASIN: B0BZJZXDV4 | 2023 | 7 hours and 37 minutes | M4B@64 kbps | 218 MB
Author: Susan Goldin-Meadow
Narrator: Jean Ann Douglass
We all know people who talk with their hands-but do they know what they're saying with them? Our gestures can reveal and contradict us and express thoughts we may not even know we're thinking. In Thinking with Your Hands, esteemed cognitive psychologist Susan Goldin-Meadow argues that gesture is vital to how we think, learn, and communicate. She shows us, for instance, how the height of our gestures can reveal unconscious bias or how the shape of a student's gestures can track their mastery of a new concept-even when they're still giving wrong answers. Sweeping and ambitious, Thinking with Your Hands promises to transform the way we think about language and communication.

Free Download The World of Sugar: How the Sweet Stuff Transformed Our Politics, Health, and Environment over 2,000 Years (Audiobook)
English | ASIN: B0C5KFW3Q2 | 2023 | 13 hours and 57 minutes | M4B@64 kbps | 402 MB
Author: Ulbe Bosma
Narrator: Julian Elfer
For most of history, humans did without refined sugar. Granulated sugar was first produced in India around the sixth century BC, yet for almost 2,500 years afterward sugar remained marginal in the diets of most people. Then, suddenly, it was everywhere. How did sugar find its way into almost all the food we eat, fostering illness and ecological crisis along the way? The World of Sugar begins with the earliest evidence of sugar production. Through the Middle Ages, traders brought small quantities to rajahs, emperors, and caliphs. But after sugar crossed the Mediterranean to Europe, demand spawned a brutal quest for supply.

Free Download The Supermajority: How the Supreme Court Divided America (Audiobook)
English | ASIN: B0BRNWK891 | 2023 | 11 hours and 15 minutes | M4B@64 kbps | 331 MB
Author: Michael Waldman
Narrator: Robertson Dean, Michael Waldman
An incisive analysis of how the Supreme Court's new conservative supermajority is overturning decades of law and leading the country in a dangerous political direction. In The Supermajority, Michael Waldman explores the tumultuous 2021-2022 Supreme Court term. He draws deeply on history to examine other times the Court veered from the popular will, provoking controversy and backlash. And he analyzes the most important new rulings and their implications for the law and for American society. Waldman asks: What can we do when the Supreme Court challenges the country? Over three days in June 2022, the conservative supermajority overturned the constitutional right to abortion, possibly opening the door to reconsider other major privacy rights, as Justice Clarence Thomas urged. The Court sharply limited the authority of the EPA, reducing the prospects for combatting climate change. It radically loosened curbs on guns amid an epidemic of mass shootings. It fully embraced legal theories such as "originalism" that will affect thousands of cases throughout the country.

Free Download The Slow AF Run Club: The Ultimate Guide for Anyone Who Wants to Run (Audiobook)
English | ASIN: B0BJ12XB6D | 2023 | 5 hours and 55 minutes | M4B@128 kbps | 328 MB
Author: Martinus Evans
Narrator: Martinus Evans
A practical guide and a celebration of running for runners of all sizes and athletic ability, from the founder of the Slow AF Run Club. Ten years ago, Martinus Evans got some stern advice from his doctor: "Lose weight or die." First defensive, but then defiant, Evans vowed that day to run a marathon, though his doctor thought he was crazy. Since then, Evans has run eight marathons and hundreds of other distances in his 300-something pound body, created his own devoted running community, and has been featured on the cover of Runner's World. This book is a blueprint for those who may not fit the image of a "traditional" runner-that is, someone who is larger in size, less athletic, out of shape, or dealing with any kind of health issue that slows them down-to feel empowered to lace up their shoes and embrace the body they have right now.

Free Download The Secret History, 2023 Edition (Audiobook)
English | ASIN: B0C75J57GZ | 2023 | 4 hours and 15 minutes | M4B@128 kbps | 236 MB
Author: Procopius
Narrator: David Timson
Procopius appeared to be a loyal part of the Byzantine establishment, his official writing glorifying the deeds of the Emperor Justinian (d. AD 565). However, he also produced a work that he knew could never be published within the Emperor's lifetime: The Secret History, a vitriolic indictment of the rule of Justinian and his wife Theodora. In The Secret History, the general Belisarius is presented as an idiot who is manipulated by his conniving wife Antonina, while the Emperor is depicted as a demon king, a dishonest and autocratic destroyer of established institutions. The Empress Theodora doesn't escape Procopius' invective-she is portrayed as the antithesis of the traditional Roman matron: depraved, brutal and bloodthirsty.

This volume reconciles the modern scientific understanding of reality with our timeless spiritual yearnings for reverence and continuity.

Free Download The Puppeteers: The People Who Control the People Who Control America (Audiobook)
English | ASIN: B0C5NVJHZB | 2023 | 8 hours and 49 minutes | M4B@64 kbps | 254 MB
Author: Jason Chaffetz
Narrator: Jason Chaffetz
New York Times bestselling author, Fox News contributor, and former Congressman Jason Chaffetz reveals how an unelected bureaucracy-and not just the government-is infringing on our rights. For years, many Americans have increasingly felt that their votes don't change things. While the powerful unelected bureaucracy has certainly instituted liberal policies that Americans don't want, there is another force pushing leftism into American society. From nonprofit leaders to union bosses to global CEOs, many unelected and unchanging leaders have worked in parallel with the aims of "permanent Washington." Through everything from curriculum to ESG standards, these leaders have quietly mainstreamed progressivism. Ideas that used to be only on the left are now "normal" in American life. In The Puppeteers, Jason Chaffetz exposes a host of unchecked actors who influence American life in profound ways and tells you what you can do about it.
