This book provides a detailed (almost too detailed) view into what happened in the 9/11 Commission Reports efforts to unravel what happened. It is startling information that shines light on the Saudi involvement in 9/11 and our administrations protection of this information. I am a registered Republican and did not see this in a defensive light. But it did shine the light on many unaddressed dangers that our Government has failed to address adequately. I appreciated the inside view to what has gone on behind the scenes. It opened my eyes. Citizens of this country owe it to themselves to go beyond sound bites and educate themselves on what really goes on. This book is a good start. Utterly disturbing Anyone who plans to vote this November should definitely read this book - or at least the 9/11 Commission Report. I cannot articulate how strongly this book has affected my political position. It completely changed my view on Iraq. A must-read for every American. Good book, terrible reader It is very interesting to get the insight of the chairman of the senate intellegence comittee on the current terrorist threat and organizations that comabat it. On the one hand, Grahm is a partisan senator who vigourously dissaproves of the acts of the Bush administration. On the other he is far more in the know than the endless line of pundits who have churned these issues over the last few years. Jonathan Marosz is the worst reader I have come across and I said I would never listen to him again, but this book was worth putting up with him. A must listen! Senator Bob Graham has done an outstanding job of meticulously detailing the intelligence failures related to the 9/11 terrorist attack. This is an eye-opening book and raises serious concerns about the health of democracy in America. Had Senator Graham not written this book we would be blissfully ignorant of the political distortions surrounding 9/11. This is a must read (listen) for those who care about the future and safety of America! very interesting and insightful. loved it! well written , exceptional performance and exciting insights into the intelligence committee. some parts were very technical but un https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/Bill-Clinton-Sexual-Predator-Audiobook/B06Y5QVTNC Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/711/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: It pretty much proves everything I have every believed about them ... This book is very revealing as to the attitude of the ex-president and his enabler, Hillary. It pretty much proves everything I have every believed about them and their elitism. Both are completely amoral and believe themselves above the law. Would have given the book a higher rating had there not been several spelling and grammatical errors. Billy, Sexual predator What a sad story for all of these women. I cannot understand why Billy could not stop himself from continues sexual assault and rape. I wonder if he is still doing it. Bill Clinton is a sexual predator, and this book proves it. While Hillary is no better! The Clinton's are 2 of the most devious people in the country. How they made it to 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. is beyond me.

Title: Enough Said Subtitle: Whats Gone Wrong with the Language of Politics? Author: Mark Thompson Narrator: James Langton Format: Unabridged Length: 14 hrs and 6 mins Language: English Release date: 09-06-16 Publisher: Blackstone Audio, Inc. Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 9 votes Genres: Nonfiction, Politics Publisher's Summary: There's a crisis of trust in politics across the Western world. Public anger is rising, and faith in conventional political leaders and parties is falling. Antipolitics, and the antipoliticians, have arrived. In Enough Said, president and CEO of the New York Times Company, Mark Thompson, argues that one of the most significant causes of the crisis is the way our public language has changed. Enough Said tells the story of how we got from the language of FDR and Churchill to that of Donald Trump. It forensically examines the public language we've been left with: compressed, immediate, sometimes brilliantly impactful but robbed of most of its explanatory power. It studies the rhetoric of Western leaders from Reagan and Thatcher to Berlusconi, Blair, and today's political elites on both sides of the Atlantic. And it charts how a changing public language has interacted with real-world events - Iraq, the financial crash, the United Kingdom's surprising "Brexit" from the European Union, immigration - and a mutual breakdown of trust between politicians and journalists, to leave ordinary citizens suspicious, bitter, and increasingly unwilling to believe anybody. Drawing from classical as well as contemporary examples and ranging across politics, business, science, technology, and the arts, Enough Said is a smart and shrewd look at the erosion of language by an author uniquely placed to measure its consequences. biacuaduc@gmail.com (Mark Thompson) Tue, 06 Sep 2016 14:09:21 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/Enough-Said-Audiobook/B01LBRC21K thebookvoice.com 14:06:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/711/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: A thought-provoking book. This is not an "easy read." It is challenging. It requires engagement. And that's a good thing. If you're interested in politics, rhetoric, public discourse, journalism, etc., this belongs at the top of your reading list. It's timely, it provides an impressive historical overview and topical analysis of several interlocking categories of interest. I found myself questioning and "discussing" as I read, saving some quotes, etc. this is part of an important dialogue on rhetoric, persuasion, and politics. Thompson also offers some "what can we do" suggestions, if we have the will. (IMHO it should be read with Jay Heinrichs's Thank You For Argung.) Deep Analysis on What is Wrong with our Political Language. I was stunned by how good this book was. This work should be read and then studied. Not since my school days have I highlighted so many passages. I am still troubled about the conclusions about how to change political rhetoric. But in any event, this was thought provoking and informative. I loved this book! One of the best books I have ever read. Both informative and educational, and I believe also very well intentioned. A real beacon of light in our confusing hypercommunicated and strident world! Jose A Arean Political jargon. . . Give it a try, you'll probably like it. . . Terrific!!

On September 10, 1976, exiled Chilean leader Orlando Letelier delivered a blistering rebuke of Augusto Pinochet's brutal right-wing regime in a speech at Madison Square Garden. Eleven days later, while Letelier was on Embassy Row in Washington, DC, a bomb affixed to the bottom of his car exploded, killing him and his coworker Ronni Moffitt. The slaying, staggering in its own right, exposed an international conspiracy that reached well into US territory. Pinochet had targeted Letelier, a former Chilean foreign minister and ambassador to the United States, and carried out the attack with the help of Operation Condor, the secret alliance of South America's military dictatorships dedicated to wiping out their most influential opponents. This gripping account tells the story not only of a political plot that ended in murder, but also of the FBI's inquiry into the affair.

Members Reviews: Well researched Well written and extremely detailed. This book took time to digest and understand. Learning how the US interacts with countries and how we impact them should be taken into account in today's society. True crime thriller that also teaches you history Saul Landau and John Dinges have written a work of journalism that reads like a suspense novel by John Le a Carré. One of the pioneers of the modern True Crime genre, this book tells the story of a cold, brutal murder on American soil and the multifarious organization of terrorists that carried it out under Pinochet's regime. Five Stars Incredible account of American history of a terrorist attack in Washington DC Copy of an out of print book in great condition While I have not had a chance to read the entire book yet, I have scanned and it is a particularly interesting story for anyone interested in US relations with Chile or international assassinations. Political manifesto The author's political inclinations taint what could have been a very good book. Two stars due to J.Dinges's intense desire to cloud your judgement. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/Rivals-Audiobook/B004EKT15M Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/711/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

(Business Today ) Members Reviews: Informative "Rivals: How the Power Struggle between China, India, and Japan Will Shape Our Next Decade" is Bill Emmot's take on the emerging global village. While the focus of the book is on the competition between China, India, and Japan, he actually includes Brazil, Russia, India, and China (BRIC) in the mix along with the US and Japan. There are many insights there an analysis which is interesting. The downside of this book is two fold. First, much has changed since 2008. The discussion of Japan is helpful, but misleading given the recent devastation. Second, the last summary chapters really focus on global warming and US involvement in that debate. It just didnt seem germane to the purpose and tenor of the book. Well written, the book is read well by Bill Wallace. A more contemporary offering will be more valuable, however. Interesting, but Dated The purpose of this book is to look forward to the coming decade and predict what may happen in Japan, India and China, and between those three powers. Unfortunately, the book was written and completed in 2007, so the decade that it seeks to foretell has actually already ended. We do not find out whether the predictions were accurate. That said, this is an excellent study of the politics, recent history, and economies of the three subject nations. The writing style is very accessible, which is not surprising since the author was a correspondent for the Economist, and later its editor-in-chief. He has spent a lot of time in all three countries, especially Japan, and research is excellent. So, if you want a recent history of this region (if you can even say these three countries inhabit a single region), this is well worthwhile. If you want something more contemporary, you may have to look elsewhere. Politically biased rant I didn't like the tone of the book. Bush is a moron with no redeeming qualities, and Obama is a hero. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/America-for-Sale-Audiobook/B002VA9468 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/711/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: America for Sale Subtitle: Fighting the New World Order, Surviving a Global Depression, Preserving US Sovereignty Author: Jerome R. Corsi Narrator: Jerome R. Corsi Format: Abridged Length: 7 hrs and 42 mins Language: English Release date: 10-13-09 Publisher: Simon & Schuster Audio Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 22 votes Genres: Nonfiction, Politics Publisher's Summary: In his groundbreaking new book, Dr. Jerome R. Corsi blows the whistle on a movement to undercut the fundamental principles of limited government that our Founding Fathers fought for and died for trying to establish. As policy-makers manipulate the economic panic of our times to advance a globalist agenda that threatens American sovereignty, we must protect our independent and self-governing nation and preserve the decades of economic power and military strength we have enjoyed since the end of World War II . In America for Sale, Corsi explains the globalists' plan to put America on the chopping block. While the radical Left promotes socialism and the radical Right champions unbridled free trade, valuable jobs are being outsourced, our national borders erased, and our dollar destroyed before our very eyes. Foreign investors are buying up U.S. assets, from financial-services firms to public infrastructure, such as highways. We are on our way to a European Union-type North American common market and a one-world government. With constructive solutions for resisting the global New Deal, reversing our dependence on foreign oil, and strengthening our middle class, Corsi shares important and practical strategies to help American families survive an imminent economic depression. The United States can be a major player in the world economy without sacrificing our sovereignty, the strength of our national domestic economy, or the dollar.

Title: America for Sale Subtitle: Fighting the New World Order, Surviving a Global Depression, Preserving US Sovereignty Author: Jerome R. Corsi Narrator: Jerome R. Corsi Format: Abridged Length: 7 hrs and 42 mins Language: English Release date: 10-13-09 Publisher: Simon & Schuster Audio Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 22 votes Genres: Nonfiction, Politics Publisher's Summary: In his groundbreaking new book, Dr. Jerome R. Corsi blows the whistle on a movement to undercut the fundamental principles of limited government that our Founding Fathers fought for and died for trying to establish. As policy-makers manipulate the economic panic of our times to advance a globalist agenda that threatens American sovereignty, we must protect our independent and self-governing nation and preserve the decades of economic power and military strength we have enjoyed since the end of World War II . In America for Sale, Corsi explains the globalists' plan to put America on the chopping block. While the radical Left promotes socialism and the radical Right champions unbridled free trade, valuable jobs are being outsourced, our national borders erased, and our dollar destroyed before our very eyes. Foreign investors are buying up U.S. assets, from financial-services firms to public infrastructure, such as highways. We are on our way to a European Union-type North American common market and a one-world government. With constructive solutions for resisting the global New Deal, reversing our dependence on foreign oil, and strengthening our middle class, Corsi shares important and practical strategies to help American families survive an imminent economic depression. The United States can be a major player in the world economy without sacrificing our sovereignty, the strength of our national domestic economy, or the dollar.

Members Reviews: Good read/listen I find it amazing that with as many books on the subject....how do they continue to get away with it? Another great book that exposes and opens your eyes/ears to what is going on in our country right under our noses; while we are being lulled to sleep with garbage reality shows. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/Building-a-Business-of-Politics-Audiobook/B01BYJUD2A Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/711/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: Building a Business of Politics Subtitle: The Rise of Political Consulting and the Transformation of American Democracy Author: Adam Sheingate Narrator: James Conlan Format: Unabridged Length: 9 hrs and 19 mins Language: English Release date: 02-22-16 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 4 votes Genres: Nonfiction, Politics Publisher's Summary: Political races in the United States rely heavily on highly paid political consultants who carefully curate the images of politicians, advise candidates on polling and analytics, and shape voters' perceptions through marketing and advertising techniques. More than half of the $6 billion spent in the 2012 election went to consultants who controlled virtually every aspect of the campaigns, from polling, fundraising, and media to more novel techniques of social media and micro-targeting. These consultants play a central role in political campaigns - determining not only how the public sees politicians, but also how politicians see the public. In Building a Business of Politics, author Adam Sheingate traces the history of political consultants from its origins in the publicity experts and pollsters of the 1920s and 1930s to the strategists and media specialists of the 1970s who transformed political campaigns into a highly profitable business. Today, consultants command a hefty fee from politicians as they turn campaign cash from special interest groups and wealthy donors into advertisements, polls, and direct mail solicitations characteristic of modern campaigns. The implications of this system on the state of American democracy are significant: the rise of the permanent campaign brings with it the rise of a permanent campaign industry. A professional political class stands between the voters and those who claim to represent them, influencing messages on both sides. Sheingate not only shows how political consultants have reshaped politics, though; he also covers recent developments like the commercialization of digital campaign tools and the consolidation of the political consulting industry into global media conglomerates. Building a Business of Politics is both a definitive account of the consulting profession and a powerful reinterpretation of how political professionals reshaped American democracy in the modern era. biacuaduc@gmail.com (Adam Sheingate) Mon, 22 Feb 2016 01:19:34 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/Building-a-Business-of-Politics-Audiobook/B01BYJUD2A thebookvoice.com 09:19:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/711/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Title: Among Murderers Subtitle: Life After Prison Author: Sabine Heinlein Narrator: Cassandra Campbell Format: Unabridged Length: 9 hrs and 9 mins Language: English Release date: 08-14-14 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 5 votes Genres: Nonfiction, Politics Publisher's Summary: What is it like for a convicted murderer who has spent decades behind bars to suddenly find himself released into a world he barely recognizes? What is it like to start over from nothing? To answer these questions Sabine Heinlein followed the everyday lives and emotional struggles of Angel Ramos and his friends Bruce and Adam - three men convicted of some of society's most heinous crimes - as they return to the free world. Heinlein spent more than two years at the Castle, a prominent halfway house in West Harlem, shadowing her protagonists as they painstakingly learn how to master their freedom. Having lived most of their lives behind bars, the men struggle to cross the street, choose a dish at a restaurant, and withdraw money from an ATM. Her empathetic first-person narrative gives a visceral sense of the men's inner lives and of the institutions they encounter on their odyssey to redemption. Heinlein follows the men as they navigate the subway, visit the barber shop, venture on stage, celebrate Halloween, and loop through the maze of New York's reentry programs. She asks what constitutes successful rehabilitation and how one faces the guilt and shame of having taken someone's life. With more than 700,000 people being released from prisons each year to a society largely unprepared - and unwilling - to receive them, this book provides an incomparable perspective on a pressing public policy issue. It offers a poignant view into a rarely seen social setting and into the hearts and minds of three unforgettable individuals who struggle with some of life's harshest challenges. biacuaduc@gmail.com (Sabine Heinlein) Thu, 14 Aug 2014 03:22:14 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/Among-Murderers-Audiobook/B00MOKBD50 thebookvoice.com 09:09:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/711/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Brilliant writing; amazing reporting Wow. Stunningly written, with just the right balance of brilliant observation and spectacular reporting. Heinlein does something extraordinarily difficult: She devotes years to her characters, three men who've been in prison for murder. In other hands, there'd be something over-earnest and too sympathetic in the story, given her friendship with them. But she manages to have found the perfect characters. One of the men is easy to forgive; another is easy to understand; and a third, she has doubts about. And we do, too. Her judgments come in small slices, however, so we can reach our own conclusions. A lot of books about prison and punishment these days are written with a heavy-handed advocacy approach, pushing a reader to feel compassion for the criminals. In this case, we feel compassion if we choose to, and not because it's forced on us. We find out with Heinlein whether the men really, honestly feel remorse, or whether they're proclaiming it just so they can get paroled. Do they deserve to be free? Can they be trusted? Will they hurt Heinlein (she spends time with them in places where most people wouldn't dare to go). The book reads like a novel, and I was very sad when it ended. The writing is that good. Empathetic and thought-provoking I don't often write reviews, but I felt compelled to after finishing Among Murderers because of the exceptional honesty and openness exhibited by both the author and the protagonists. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/Control-Freaks-Audiobook/B003VK8B8O Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/711/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Vaste question qui est difficile à aborder en 20 minutes et de manière générique mais néanmoins, Julie joue le jeu et délivre beaucoup de conseils très utiles pour les marques. Instagram en quelques chiffres : Même si Instagram ne partage pas de chiffres par pays, il est intéressant de noter qu'il y a aujourd'hui dans le monde 800 millions d'utilisateurs dont 500 millions tous les jours. Et plus étonnant, 250 millions utilisent quotidiennement les stories alors que cela n'a été lancé que depuis 1 an. Cette réponse d'Instagram à l'ampleur pris par Snapchat est remarquable et a su capter une part évidente des usages et donc de l'attention des internautes. Par ailleurs, il est important de noter que 100 millions de personnes utilisent tous les jours l'onglet "explore" afin de découvrir de nouveaux contenus ou de chercher du contenu parmi les personnes qu'ils suivent déjà. Les stories Instagram essentielles pour les marques : Comme nous venons de le souligner, les stories ont pris une part prépondérante de l'usage d'Instagram pour plusieurs raisons : D'abord, il y a beaucoup moins de pression à créer du contenu car c'est du quotidien et du vécu, on s'interroge moins sur la qualité et cela permet à tout à chacun de partager. Ensuite bien sûr, il s'agit de contenus beaucoup plus frais mais aussi plus authentiques. On sait combien la vie d'instagram n'est pas la vraie vie. Les stories s'approchent beaucoup plus de cette dernière. À noter que 50 % des marques présentent sur Instagram ont publié des stories sur la plateforme et 1/3 des stories les plus vues sont celles publiées par des marques. Elles ne sont donc pas à la traine, pas toutes en tous cas. Plusieurs typologies assez logiques pour les stories de marques : backstages, tutoriels et interviews. Et évidemment il y a des personnes ou des marques qui arrivent à utiliser ce nouveau support de manière très créative. Je pense notamment à l'influenceuse Elsa Muse mais Julie Pellet fait notamment référence à la marque Asos qui a pris des photos à 360 degrés d'une chaussure et invite l'internaute à utiliser le "tap" pour faire tourner le produit comme bon lui semble. Quoiqu'il en soit l'idée est ici aussi d'aller chercher l'interaction. Et évidemment pour ceux qui ont plus de 10 000 followers, une interaction supplémentaire est disponible : inviter au swipe-up pour diriger vers un site externe. D'ailleurs, les nouveaux outils créent par la plateforme appuient beaucoup sur l'interaction entre la personne/marque qui publie et celles qui la suivent.

Members Reviews: Great read With insightful views into current history, it's a well written commentary on what makes America, well, America. Chris Matthews books I have read all of Chris Matthews books and really enjoy them. This one is probably my least favorite but it is still a great book. Chris has worked on Capitol Hill and in the White House; he has alot of insider knowledge. Typically Chris. I have watched Chris since he had a 15 minute program back when he first started. I don't always agree with him, but I hate to have to miss him. Not only will you enjoy this book,but you'll learn something to boot. A must read for any Chris Matthews Hardball fan. ...

Most people would agree that democracy is broken yet we all know that it is the best governmental system we have. Despite it being the best system, we are facing an unprecedented crisis. Unemployment is high, most economies are stagnating, and yet everything the governments are trying to do to save the economy is failing to deliver. The reason they are failing is due to the process of democracy itself. In Bryan Caplan's book, The Myth of the Rational Voter, Bryan goes into some depth about the reasons democracies are suffering and what can be done to fix them.

Title: The Anthrax Letters Subtitle: A Bioterrorism Expert Investigates the Attacks that Shocked America Author: Leonard A. Cole Narrator: Alpha Trivette Format: Unabridged Length: 10 hrs and 53 mins Language: English Release date: 02-14-13 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 9 votes Genres: Nonfiction, Politics Publisher's Summary: At 2:00 a.m. on October 2, 2001, Robert Stevens entered a hospital emergency room. Feverish, nauseated, and barely conscious, no one knew what was making him sick. Three days later he was dead. Stevens was the first fatal victim of bioterrorism in America. Bioterrorism expert Leonard Cole has written the definitive account of the Anthrax attacks. Cole is the only person outside law enforcement to have interviewed every one of the surviving inhalation-anthrax victims, along with the relatives, friends, and associates of those who died, as well as the public health officials, scientists, researchers, hospital workers, and treating physicians. Fast paced and riveting, this minute-by-minute chronicle of the anthrax attacks recounts more than a history of recent current events, it uncovers the untold and perhaps even more important story of how scientists, doctors, and researchers perform life-saving work under intense pressure and public scrutiny. Updated with new information about Ivins and a series of upcoming Congressional hearings into the FBIs conduct in this case, The Anthrax Letters amply demonstrates how vulnerable America was in 2001 and whether we are better prepared now for a bioterror attack. Editorial Reviews: Alpha Trivette gives an authoritative performance of Leonard A. Coles exhaustive narrative of the 2001 Anthrax attacks in the United States. His steady voice relays the catastrophic events that unfolded when a bio-terrorist mailed letters containing Anthrax spores, causing five deaths and nationwide terror. This minute-by-minute account draws on interviews Coles conducted with all the surviving victims, public health officials, scientists, hospital workers, and physicians connected to the incident. It also includes an update about the late Bruce E. Ivins, the microbiologist who was the prime suspect in the case. biacuaduc@gmail.com (Leonard A.

Members Reviews: Its okay, I guess Would you consider the audio edition of The Anthrax Letters to be better than the print version? This book is published in 2003, meaning that you dont really get to know what happened as the investigation continued for years after. The main focus of the book lies on facts; an chronological recount of the events that followed anthrax attacks. Its very thorough on the medical side of what happened and equally shallow on the FBI investigation. Phoning it in The story and science is pretty fascinating and takes you on a bit of a ride. However, after four or five chapters the narrator clearly starts just reading words, with a staccato 'not thinking about what he's reading' sound, and the performance becomes quite difficult to listen to. Almost made me stop listening. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/Trumping-Trump-Audiobook/B075X14VC1 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/711/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: Trumping Trump Subtitle: Making Democrats Progressive Again Author: Bob Filner Narrator: Ronald Andrew Murphy Format: Unabridged Length: 4 hrs and 59 mins Language: English Release date: 09-27-17 Publisher: Krish Publishing Genres: Nonfiction, Politics Publisher's Summary: Bob Filner spent considerable time in Congress trying to work a progressive agenda into national legislation. He helped organize the Progressive Caucus in the House during his first term, to gather like-minded progressives into a cohesive force. Although they continued to meet throughout his term in the House, it didn't take long to realize that legislative power is held securely in the hands of the party leadership. The possibility of radical changes in key issues that are important to progressives is bound up in an arcane process--hemmed in by rules and controlled by powerful congressmen who are heavily influenced by persuasive, well-financed special-interest groups. When the opportunity arose for Filner to come home to San Diego and run for mayor, he jumped at the chance. In 2012, after a hard-fought campaign, he was sworn in as the first Democratic mayor of San Diego in a generation. He came into office with a vision of remaking San Diego into a showplace of progressive innovation. Even though it's the eighth-largest city in America, San Diego still had a provincial view of itself. Armed with a list of one hundred things he wanted to accomplish, Filner set to work. His vision would transform San Diego into a more inclusive city that would provide greater opportunity for every neighborhood. In this book, Filner discusses the work he spent 30 years pursuing, and the work he left undone. biacuaduc@gmail.com (Bob Filner) Wed, 27 Sep 2017 06:12:27 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/Trumping-Trump-Audiobook/B075X14VC1 thebookvoice.com 04:59:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/711/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: This is a MUST READ for anyone who is serious about preserving a democratic society and encouraging readers to use our power to create a future that provides more opportunities than were available to people who sacrificed so much to make life better for us today Thank you, Bob Filner, for sharing your extensive experience in politics. Your voice and words are needed for these days. There is no reason for any of us to feel powerless. You have written a primer to help many of us become active and fully engaged in meeting the challenges of making substantive change. Your step-by-step approach to using the American political system to hold elected officials accountable is a road map to organizing voters to exercise our rights and take control of our destiny. Trumping Trump is timely, relevant, and very important. Also, you have written a personal critique of your encounters and leadership. I admire your courage, vulnerability, and tenacity. This is a MUST READ for anyone who is serious about preserving a democratic society and encouraging readers to use our power to create a future that provides more opportunities than were available to people who sacrificed so much to make life better for us today. I strongly recommend reading Trumping Trump. An Important and Timely Book Bob Filnerâs decades of service in Congress, working in civil rights and and as a vocal advocate for veterans places him in a unique position for writing this roadmap for progressives to move forward in leading our country, at the local level, out of its current divisiveness. The clock is ticking, and this amazing book provides progressives with a path to reconnect with âmiddle Americaâ in our local communities. In this chaotic time, with the Democratic Party struggling to provide clear leadership, this is an important and timely book. A thoughtful, useful narrative Trumping Trump is a hands-on manual for applying Dr. Rene Dubosâ dictum to think globally but act locally. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/The-Patch-Audiobook/B075KQQXNN Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/711/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: The Patch Subtitle: The People, Pipelines, and Politics of the Oil Sands Author: Chris Turner Narrator: Stephen Graybill Format: Unabridged Length: 14 hrs and 1 min Language: English Release date: 09-19-17 Publisher: Blackstone Audio, Inc. Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 1 votes Genres: Nonfiction, Politics Publisher's Summary: Best-selling author Chris Turner brings listeners onto the streets of Fort McMurray, showing the myriad ways the oil sands impact our lives and demanding that we ask the question: To both fuel the world and to save it, what do we do about the Patch? The Patch is the story of Fort McMurray and the oil sands in northern Alberta, the world's second largest proven reserve of oil. But this is no conventional story about the oil business. Rather, it is a portrait of the life cycle of the Patch, showing just how deeply it continues to impact the lives of everyone around the world. In its heyday, the oil sands represented an industrial triumph and the culmination of a century of innovation, experiment, engineering, policy, and finance. Fort McMurray was a boomtown, the centre of a new gold rush, and the oil sands were reshaping the global energy, political, and financial landscapes. But in 2008, a new narrative emerged. As financial markets collapsed and the cold, hard, scientific reality of the Patch's effect on the environment became clear, the region turned into a boogeyman and a lightning rod for the global movement combating climate change. Suddenly, the streets of Fort McMurray were the front line of a high-stakes collision between two conflicting worldviews - one of industrial triumph and another of environmental stewardship - each backed by major players on the world stage. The Patch is a narrative-driven account of this ongoing conflict. It follows a select group of key characters whose experiences in and with the oil sands overlap in concentric narrative arcs. Through this insightful combination of global perspective and on-the-ground action, The Patch will show how the reach of the oil sands extends to all of us. From Fort Mac to the Bakken shale country of North Dakota, from Houston to London, from Saudi Arabia to the shores of Brazil, the whole world is connected in this enterprise. And it demands that we ask the question: What do we do about the Patch? biacuaduc@gmail.com (Chris Turner) Tue, 19 Sep 2017 06:03:55 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/The-Patch-Audiobook/B075KQQXNN thebookvoice.com 14:01:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/711/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 1 votes Genres: Nonfiction, Politics Publisher's Summary: Best-selling author Chris Turner brings listeners onto the streets of Fort McMurray, showing the myriad ways the oil sands impact our lives and demanding that we ask the question: To both fuel the world and to save it, what do we do about the Patch? The Patch is the story of Fort McMurray and the oil sands in northern Alberta, the world's second largest proven reserve of oil. But this is no conventional story about the oil business. Rather, it is a portrait of the life cycle of the Patch, showing just how deeply it continues to impact the lives of everyone around the world. In its heyday, the oil sands represented an industrial triumph and the culmination of a century of innovation, experiment, engineering, policy, and finance. Fort McMurray was a boomtown, the centre of a new gold rush, and the oil sands were reshaping the global energy, political, and financial landscapes. But in 2008, a new narrative emerged. As financial markets collapsed and the cold, hard, scientific reality of the Patch's effect on the environment became clear, the region turned into a boogeyman and a lightning rod for the global movement combating climate change. Suddenly, the streets of Fort McMurray were the front line of a high-stakes collision between two conflicting worldviews - one of industrial triumph and another of environmental stewardship - each backed by major players on the world stage. The Patch is a narrative-driven account of this ongoing conflict. It follows a select group of key characters whose experiences in and with the oil sands overlap in concentric narrative arcs. Through this insightful combination of global perspective and on-the-ground action, The Patch will show how the reach of the oil sands extends to all of us. From Fort Mac to the Bakken shale country of North Dakota, from Houston to London, from Saudi Arabia to the shores of Brazil, the whole world is connected in this enterprise. And it demands that we ask the question: What do we do about the Patch? Members Reviews: Balanced look at the oil patch. Having read other books by Chris Turner, I anticipated a biased, polemic read. I was wrong. While the first chapter indicated that the book might be a bit apocalyptic, the remainder, I thought was treated in a very even-handed way. Turner has written a balanced look at a controversial industry. In spite of the fact that execs from only three oil sands company would speak to Turner, he seems to have done his research thoroughly. The history of oil sands development is fascinating. He gives a human face to Fort MacMurray and the people that earn their livelihood there. His treatment of Indiginous concerns is especially poignant, something not given nearly enough notice elsewhere. Highly recommended for everyone. Oil industry issues This is an interesting and complex book. This book deals with the oil sands industry in Northern Alberta. It begins in 2008 during the economic collapse. This was also when we started to become more aware of the environmental damage being caused by this necessary industry. This raises the complexity about our need to protect the environment and our need for oil and how these need to coexist. I found this book especially interesting because it also gives a human element to the city of Fort McMurray. The city always gets a bad rap in the press and this book gives a lot more personal detail on the people and the community. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/Kim-und-Struppi-Audiobook/B00YPNFR8S Hören Sie sich dieses volle Hörbuch kostenlos bei https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/711/]]> Titel: Kim und Struppi Untertitel: Ferien in Nordkorea Autor:: Christian Eisert Erzähler: Christian Eisert Format: Unabridged Spieldauer: 9 hrs and 12 mins Sprache: Deutsch Veröffentlichungsdatum: 08-03-15 Herausgeber: feinfilm / Eisert Kategorien: Nonfiction, Politics Zusammenfassung des Herausgebers: Wie viele Touristen jährlich Nordkorea besuchen, lässt sich exakt sagen: Wenige.

With her monumental best sellers Treason, Slander, and High Crimes and Misdemeanors, Coulter has become the most recognized and talked-about conservative intellectual in years, and certainly the most controversial. Now, in How to Talk to a Liberal (If You Must), which is sure to ignite impassioned debate, she offers her most comprehensive analysis of the American political scene to date. With incisive reasoning, refreshing candor, and razor-sharp wit, she reveals just why liberals have got it so wrong. In this powerful and entertaining book, which draws on her weekly columns, Coulter ranges far and wide. No subject is off-limits, and no comment is left unsaid. After all, she writes, "Nothing too extreme can be said about liberals because it's all true." How to Talk to a Liberal (If You Must) offers Coulter's unvarnished take on: In this full-on Coulterpalooza, you'll find the real, uncensored Ann Coulter. A special concluding chapter even includes the pieces that squeamish editors refused to publish, "what you could have read if you lived in a free country", says Coulter. How to Talk to a Liberal (If You Must) is a stunning reminder of why Ann Coulter's commentary has achieved must-read status.

Critic Reviews: "A great deal of research supports Ms. Coulter's wisecracks." (New York Times) Members Reviews: She's Smart Enough! She's Funny Enough! and, Gosh Darn it, Liberals HATE her! Ann is brilliant in this compilation of her columns. The abridged book is narrated by Coulter and the unabridged is well narrated. We have both copies.......you should too! If you haven't read Ann Coulter, here is THE PERFECT place to start. She is political sanity, she talks straight. Conservatives will cry with laughter. Liberals will ......just cry. This is a 5 star book......the ratings are political.(Trust me on this one). Roller Coaster Ride! As a die-hard conservative, I enjoyed Ms. Coulters latest invective. As Ms. Coulter succeeded in exposing the liberals as they are, I would have preferred a more structured presentation coupled with a little less cliches and euphemisms. Ms. Coulter comes in with both guns blazing while factually diminishing any credibility that the liberals think they may have. However, Ms. Coulters sarcasm and ala carte approach somewhat diminishes the objective and fatigues the audience during the joyride. If you are looking for a handholding experience good luck, if you are looking for an accelerated salvo of factoids, this is the ticket. How To Talk To A Liberal Is Witty And Smart Ann Coulter does it again. The author's intelligence and humor comes through in every chapter. Absolutely Wonderful!!!! A true eye opener. If you see a bad review of this book rest assured it's a review by a liberal, the very target of this wonderful book so don't believe it. This only downside is that by the time I was halfway through i felt sick to my stomach at the realization of the corruption of our country's principles by the liberal agenda. You Will Only Get This From Ann The first chapter of this book is new material and the rest of the book consists of Ann Coulter's previously published newspaper columns. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/A-Bound-Man-Audiobook/B002V0LSV2 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/711/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Bargainers strike a "bargain" with white America in which they say, "I will not rub America's ugly history of racism in your face if you will not hold my race against me." Bill Cosby's sitcom in the 1980s was the classic example of bargaining. Obama also sends "bargaining" signals to white America, and whites respond with considerable gratitude - which explains the special aura of excitement that surrounds him. But in order to garner the black vote, which is absolutely necessary for victory in the primaries and the general election, Obama must also posture as a challenger. Challengers are the opposite of bargainers. They charge whites with inherent racism and then demand that they prove themselves innocent by supporting black-friendly policies, such as affirmative action. If whites go along with this, thereby proving their innocence, they are granted absolution by the black challenger. The current black American identity is grounded in challenging. Obama must therefore posture as a challenger to win the black vote. However, challenging threatens Obama's white support. But bargaining threatens his black support. Thus, he is bound. He walks in an impossible political territory where any expression of what he truly feels puts him in jeopardy with one much-needed constituency or another. Only a kind of two-sided political mask, or an "above politics" posture, keeps the wolves at bay. Critic Reviews: "Full of fresh insights into the cultural politics of race."

Only a kind of two-sided political mask, or an "above politics" posture, keeps the wolves at bay. Critic Reviews: "Full of fresh insights into the cultural politics of race." (Publishers Weekly) Members Reviews: A Good One, but More About Steele's Experience Being Multiracial than the President's! I debated with myself about whether to give this book 3 or 4 stars. So, first, let me start with the reasons I had for giving it three, and then reasons why I gave it four instead. First, the book is a "psycholigization" of now-President Barrack Obama. That is, the book is not at all a political tract, but is an "explanation" of why Barrack Obama is who he is, given his biracial upbringing. I confess that I don't tend to like "psycholigizations" because they are a bit squishy; that is, one can always 'psychologize' another's actions in a way that probably says more about the author than the 'subject' and verifying the correctness of the attempt is impossible. (That is, if Obama objected to the characterization in this book, Steele could always say, "Well, you think it is wrong, but you are wrong about your motivations, which are just hidden from your conscious view.") But here is why I gave the book four stars: I think the book is very good IF it is approached as saying more about Steele's own biracial experience than about Obama's. And, as always, Steele is very good at articulating what he thinks the inner dynamics (and social dynamics) of race in America are. So, this book is really about being biracial as Steele perceives it. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/Protecting-Yellowstone-Audiobook/B00KH4LR0G Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/711/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: Protecting Yellowstone Subtitle: Science and the Politics of National Park Management Author: Michael J. Yochim Narrator: Jack Chekijian Format: Unabridged Length: 8 hrs and 16 mins Language: English Release date: 05-22-14 Publisher: University Press Audiobooks Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 14 votes Genres: Nonfiction, Politics Publisher's Summary: Yellowstone National Park looks like a pristine western landscape populated by its wild inhabitants: bison, grizzly bears, and wolves. But the bison do not always range freely, snowmobile noise intrudes upon the park's profound winter silence, and some tourist villages are located in prime grizzly-bear habitat. Despite these problems, the National Park Service has succeeded in reintroducing wolves, allowing wildfires to play their natural role in park forests, and prohibiting a gold mine that would be present in other more typical western landscapes. Each of these issues - bison, snowmobiles, grizzly bears, wolves, fires, and the New World Mine - was the center of a recent policy-making controversy involving federal politicians, robust debate with interested stakeholders, and discussions about the relevant science. Yet, the outcomes of the controversies varied considerably, depending on politics, science, how well park managers allied themselves with external interests, and public thinking about the effects of park proposals on their access and economies. Michael Yochim examines the primary influences upon contemporary national park policy making and considers how those influences shaped or constrained the final policy. In addition, Yochim considers how park managers may best work within the contemporary policy-making context to preserve national parks. biacuaduc@gmail.com (Michael J.

Members Reviews: How policies devised for Yellowstone This presentation uses one of our National Parks and the specific issues noted in publisher's summary as a microcosm of controversies and policymaking issues within the NPS. This premise allows for a clear focus, rather than a muddle of multiplicity. As a government agency, policies are primarily part of a political agenda, and park superintendents have less influence in the decisionmaking process. Detailed studies into the specific controversies listed and the eventual outcomes are well presented in this piece, and reflect the US political climate. Narrator Jack presents the material with the clear, well defined speech and tonality characteristic of the successful lecturer. I received this book as a gift Protecting Yellowstone... I received this audio book in exchange for a honest and unbiased review. This book is about Yellowstone National Park. Here they talk about Yellowstone's history, present and future. What politics have to do with the park and effects politics has on it. They discuss the animals that live there and how laws have changed overtime to make this wonderland the wonder that it is now. There is so much information in this book that I found it to be truly educational! The author, Michael J Yochim did a great job in his research about the park. He didn't leave a stone upturned or a buffalo left to roam. The information in this book is priceless and would be a great book to add to High Schools. The narrator, Jack Chekijian did a great job reading this book to us flawlessly and in such a way to keep us interested!

(David Horowitz) Members Reviews: Bill Ayres IS dangerous. Where does The Manchurian President rank among all the audiobooks you???ve listened to so far? Top ten percent. What was the most compelling aspect of this narrative? President Obama's relationship with Bill Ayers. On Oct 20, 1981, fugitive members of the Weather Underground shattered the peace of Rockland and surrounding counties when they shot and killed a Brink's guard in an armed robbery of $1.6 million. Then at a road block, they shot and killed two Nyak police officers. To ensure a fair trial, the venue was moved to Orange County. During their trial, they repeatedly disrupted the proceedings by shouting anti-US slogans, proclaiming to be "at war" with the government. I lived in Orange County at the time of their trial. Almost thirty years later, I have a vivid memory of their hate of America. These are the people that Bill Ayers was most closely associated. Can we blithely dismiss his connection to President Obama? Any additional comments? Clear, concise reading. RIGHT ON! Loved it, sad when it was over, felt what it had to say was credible, sad and frustrated for my Country after (as well as before) reading it. Obama IS the Manchurian President. Can't wait til he's gone. The truth is out!! Oh ya, it's been out!!! To all the stupid, left wing, freedom hating, special interest group loving,democratic, socialist, idiots out there, thanks for voting in this communist idiot and helping to destroy this great country of America! You should all be ashamed, arrested, and jailed for life!! For the rest of you real Americans this is a must read! It states quite a few things we freedom loving, patriotic Americans have always known but give it substance. Awesome The book covers every major scandal from Obama's birth to his administration. It talks about things the media refused to talk about. It's a must read book! Rehash of old news I wanted to like this book. Obama managed to fool enough of the voters, with the help of the media, to hide his true nature and philosophy and get elected. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/The-Politician-Audiobook/B0036V11MQ Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/711/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: The Politician Subtitle: An Insider's Account of John Edwards's Pursuit of the Presidency and the Scandal that Brought Him Down Author: Andrew Young Narrator: Kevin Foley Format: Unabridged Length: 11 hrs and 22 mins Language: English Release date: 02-02-10 Publisher: Tantor Audio Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 228 votes Genres: Nonfiction, Politics Publisher's Summary: Like a nonfiction version of All the King's Men, The Politician offers a truly disturbing, even shocking, perspective on the risks taken and tactics employed by a man determined to rule the most powerful nation on earth. Idealistic and ambitious, Andrew Young volunteered for the John Edwards campaign for Senate in 1998 and quickly became the candidate's right-hand man. As the senator became a national star, Young's responsibilities grew. For a decade he was this politician's confidant, and he was assured he was "like family." In time, however, Young was drawn into a series of questionable assignments that culminated with Edwards asking him to help conceal the senator's ongoing adultery. Days before the 2008 presidential primaries began, Young gained international notoriety when he told the world that he was the father of a child being carried by a woman named Rielle Hunter, who was actually the senator's mistress. While Young began a life on the run, hiding from the press with his family and alleged mistress, John Edwards continued to pursue the presidency and then the vice presidency in the future Obama administration. Young had been the senator's closest aide and most trusted friend. He believed that John Edwards could be a great president and was assured throughout the cover-up that his boss and friend would ultimately step forward to both tell the truth and protect his aide's career. Neither promise was kept. Not only is The Politician a moving personal account of Andrew Young's political education, but it also offers a look at the trajectory that made John Edwards the ideal Democratic candidate for president and the hubris that brought him down, leaving his career, his marriage, and his dreams in ashes. biacuaduc@gmail.com (Andrew Young) Tue, 02 Feb 2010 10:28:35 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/The-Politician-Audiobook/B0036V11MQ thebookvoice.com 11:22:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/711/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: A real eye opener! Things aren't always what they seem. John Edwards fooled a lot of people in the beginning..including me. I am just a regular voter who liked what they saw in this man...I have learned to dig deeper when looking at any candidate seeking public office. This book was informative about the sacrifices made by the campaign staff. Andrew Young was not spiteful his account.. which made it more credible for me. The journey of this young man is honest and heartfelt. He accepts responsibility for his part in all of it... which think I is redemptive. A real eye opener for all of us. Revealing Tale I highly recommend this book to anyone that want's a better glimpse at what kind of sleaze that populates politics. Beyond even Edward's affair your get a feel for just how shallow and manipulative these people are. If you love to believe in platitudes, claims of hope, change, fighting poverty and two Americas, and changing the status quo... this book isn't for you. I aplaude the author who's currently embattled in legal matters for making this revealing book. He put his neck on the line and got nothing for his efforts in helping the disgraced John Edwards. Hopefully his work in writing this book will help people to look for truly genuine, honest, common sense intelligent politicians that represent them and are true to their beliefs... and not just saying something so they can get votes and suckle at the teet of wealthy donors, celebrities and the elite.

The ObamaCare Survival Guide reveals: Members Reviews: Please Read This Book-Obamacare is NOT THE ANSWER We DO NEED TO FIND A WAY TO SURVIVE Obamacare. My husband and I have had insurance through our workplaces. I became disabled and now have Medicare, plus 2 supplementals. In 2014 we paid $14,000 out of pocket because I take biologic medications, and because we pay huge costs TO Medicare, TO Plan F, and TO Plan D for my medications, plus the copays for my meds. Big Pharma gets most of our money. I'm not heartless, and I know some people can't get jobs that cover insurance. However, Emergency Departments are, by law, required to care for people without insurance, whether it's for a cold or a heart attack. ALOT of middle class people don't have that option. Taxpayers cover all healthcare costs for everyone. The solutions are myriad-cut Pharma costs, get rid of lawyers who sue doctors and nurses for things they (MDs, RNs) have no control over, have a reason for ordering tests besides doing it to CYA. Investigate fraud which costs billions. And more and more like these solutions. Obamacare has COST America untold billions, has torn patients away from the doctors who know them. Please read this book whether you are for or against Obamacare. Forgive me for my lecture, but please learn how much this program is destroying our nation, No Way to Survive it Friends - Gotta change it Since I work in the insurance industry, when this came out, I wanted to read it. I wouldn't spend the money again, I actually donated the book. A Very Good Idea That Never Reached Potential Nicholas Tate did a fair job of laying out the background to Obamacare. He took extreme care to steer clear of the politics of it, which was too bad, since the politics of it is why it's the way it is. Overall, the book is not chocked filled with useful information. It's a mere glossing over of the facts, which you can get by watching the news and reading the paper. It's also rather outdated now that the rollout has occurred (unsuccessfully). If you are looking at tips to beat the system, or save your insurance plan that just got cancelled, this is NOT the place for you to be doing it. Save your money. If you've been in a cave for the last five years and haven't got a clue what happened on October 1st, then you may learn something, and you should pick it up. This book certainly doesn't live up to the hype it gives itself on the TV ads on all of the news channels. Pass on this one and do a search engine search. You'll save some money and be just as far ahead. Review of Obamacare Survival Guide I have not finished reading the book yet, but I like what I have read so far. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/Lone-Star-Nation-Audiobook/B00P028PF0 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/711/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: Lone Star Nation Subtitle: How Texas Will Transform the Nation Author: Richard Parker Narrator: Tom Stechschulte Format: Unabridged Length: 8 hrs and 5 mins Language: English Release date: 11-04-14 Publisher: Recorded Books Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 7 votes Genres: Nonfiction, Politics Publisher's Summary: Richard Parker delivers a provocative and eye-opening look at the most explosive and controversial state in America, where everything is bigger, bolder - and is shaping the future of America. Americans today are reckoning with a new Texas - that love-it-or-hate-it giant slice of America that has sparked controversy, bred presidents, and fomented change from the Civil War to the election of George W. Bush and the Iraq War. In Lone Star Nation, Parker examines this evolving landscape. But the Texas that Americans think they know is changing, and as a result it will change America itself in the 21st century, just as California did in the last century. Richard Parker uncovers a new Texas: a profoundly urban one, an overwhelmingly Hispanic one, an increasingly liberal one, and one succeeding in the global economy while being forced to face the looming threats of poverty and climate change - and sooner rather than later. He explores the broader implications of change in Texas that could help remake Washington and energize the American economy. Along the way, he shares the stories of the powerful and everyday people that are shaping Texas and, as a result, the country itself, as one in every five Americans will soon call Texas something else: Home. Richard Parker is an award-winning journalist who writes about political, economic, technological, and social change. His work appears in the Op-Ed and Sunday Review sections of the New York Times, the Columbia Journalism Review and other major newspapers. He lives in the Texas hill country outside Austin. biacuaduc@gmail.com (Richard Parker) Tue, 04 Nov 2014 20:00:18 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/Lone-Star-Nation-Audiobook/B00P028PF0 thebookvoice.com 08:05:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/711/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Along the way, he shares the stories of the powerful and everyday people that are shaping Texas and, as a result, the country itself, as one in every five Americans will soon call Texas something else: Home. Richard Parker is an award-winning journalist who writes about political, economic, technological, and social change. His work appears in the Op-Ed and Sunday Review sections of the New York Times, the Columbia Journalism Review and other major newspapers. He lives in the Texas hill country outside Austin.

Title: Lone Star Nation Subtitle: How Texas Will Transform the Nation Author: Richard Parker Narrator: Tom Stechschulte Format: Unabridged Length: 8 hrs and 5 mins Language: English Release date: 11-04-14 Publisher: Recorded Books Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 7 votes Genres: Nonfiction, Politics Publisher's Summary: Richard Parker delivers a provocative and eye-opening look at the most explosive and controversial state in America, where everything is bigger, bolder - and is shaping the future of America. Americans today are reckoning with a new Texas - that love-it-or-hate-it giant slice of America that has sparked controversy, bred presidents, and fomented change from the Civil War to the election of George W. Bush and the Iraq War. In Lone Star Nation, Parker examines this evolving landscape. But the Texas that Americans think they know is changing, and as a result it will change America itself in the 21st century, just as California did in the last century.

Members Reviews: Don't be mislead This book wasnt for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more? If you get your news from MSNBC you'll feel right at home with this book. Every conservative is a racist or greedy or both. Texas' success is an accident of geography and certainly had nothing to do with any Republican policies in the last fifty years. And once the Hispanics become the majority, the Democrats can take over and lead Texas to the promise land. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/Broken-Government-Audiobook/B002V1JQUQ Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/711/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: Broken Government Subtitle: How Republican Rule Destroyed the Legislative, Executive, and Judicial Branches Author: John W. Dean Narrator: Paul Michael Format: Unabridged Length: 10 hrs and 8 mins Language: English Release date: 08-20-07 Publisher: Penguin Audio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 104 votes Genres: Nonfiction, Politics Publisher's Summary: In his eighth book, Dean takes the broadest and deepest view yet of the dysfunctional chaos and institutional damage that the Republican Party and its core conservatives have inflicted on the federal government. He assesses the state of all three branches of government, tracing their decline through the presidencies of Nixon, Ford, Reagan, Bush I, and Bush II. Unlike most political commentary, which is concerned with policy, Dean looks instead at process: making the case that the 2008 presidential race must confront these fundamental problems as well. Finally, he addresses the question that he is so often asked at his speaking engagements: what, if anything, can and should politically moderate citizens do to combat the extremism, authoritarianism, incompetence, and increasing focus on divisive wedge issues of so many of today's conservative politicians? With the Democrats now in control of both the House and Senate, the stakes for the 2008 presidential election have never been higher. This is a book for anyone who wants to return government to the spirit of the Constitution. Critic Reviews: "A vigorous critique of the Republican machinery."

( Publishers Weekly) Members Reviews: Attention Policy Wonks - This is the book for you I really enjoyed John Dean's Book "Conservatives without Conscience", So I thought I'd give this book a try. This book dragged more because it gets into the nitty-gritty details of government. You will learn things, especially about the Supreme Court. But this book is only for the people who really like the "Sausage Making" of Government. Fairly Dry While I thought his book "Conservatives Without Conscience" was very good, I found this book, by comparison, was very dry. I could not imagine trying to read this book, so the fact that it was audible made it better. He provided good historical information, but it went into way more depth than was necessary. Boring I admire Dean, but I found this book very boring. It is one of the very few Audible books I didn't even finish. It seems like it didn't cover much new ground that hasn't been covered by all the other books on how bad the Bush administration was...and I eat those books up. Just not this one. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/Going-to-Pot-Audiobook/B00S5JXF1O Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/711/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

White Narrator: Kevin Stillwell Format: Unabridged Length: 5 hrs and 42 mins Language: English Release date: 02-03-15 Publisher: Hachette Audio Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 17 votes Genres: Nonfiction, Politics Publisher's Summary: William J. Bennett, former director of the National Drug Control policy under President George H.W. Bush and best-selling author of The Book of Virtues, and co-author Robert White provide strong societal and scientific arguments against the legalization of marijuana. Marijuana, once considered worthy of condemnation, has in recent years become a "medicine", legalized fully in four states, with others expected to follow. But the dangers are clear. According to Bennett's research, more Americans are admitted to treatment facilities for marijuana use than for any other illegal drug. Studies have shown a link between marijuana use and abnormal brain structure and development. From William Bennett comes a call-to-action for the 46 states that know better than to support full legalization, and a voice of reason for millions who have jumped on the legalization bandwagon because they haven't had access to the facts. biacuaduc@gmail.com (William J.

Members Reviews: Thorough Thorough analysis of the research, policies and issues that surround this issue. I am certain pro-legalization advocates will take issue with every point. Clearly defines the dangers of this cultural trend. Clear, Compelling, and Cautionary An incredible amount of research, summarized in a concise package. Before reading this, I admit I was susceptible to many of the arguments they debunk. Looking forward to sharing the story with friends and family. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/Dateline-Jerusalem-Audiobook/B00ECFM7NC Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/711/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

When an Iranian president thunders a murderous threat or an obscure Turkish drunkard has a dream in Mecca or a Jewish couple from Brooklyn lands at Tel Avivs Ben Gurion airport, these events might seem disconnected. But theyre not. In Dateline Jerusalem, CBN News correspondent Chris Mitchell connects the dots and unveils Jerusalem as the epicenter and crossroads of the spiritual, political, and, yes, supernatural worlds. Jerusalems powerful draw has always transcended simple economics, military strategy, and religious affiliation. In our own time, as the Arab Spring threatens to become an Islamic Winter, one commentator warns: "The Arab Spring doesn't lead to democracy, it leads to Jerusalem." Indeed, the fragile peace of Israel is in new peril as violent Islamic factions take control of surrounding governments. Yet Muslims are converting to Christianity in record numbers. Dateline Jerusalem untangles and chronicles all this through the riveting narrative of a Christian reporter in the upheaval of the modern Fertile Crescent. We live in a world where we cannot afford to be ill informed. What happens in the strategic Middle East, Israel, and Jerusalem is critical. It matters to you.

Members Reviews: A View From the Inside Chris Mitchell lives what he writes. He includes a bit of everything from ancient Biblical history to recent history to current events to Biblical prophecy and ties them all together. He has some wonderful and uplifting chapters on the power of prayer and evangelism in these last days. This book is not a downer on the perils of the end times, but rather a personal account of God's word being fulfilled. Incredible book! In this book, we have poltics, prophecies and history pertaining to the most important city and region in then world. I would highly recommend that everyone read it. Chris is a gifted communicator with many years experience on the field. He has much to teach us about the Middle East situation and the city of Jerusalem. Excellent read Author Mitchell beautifully "plants" you in Jerusalem as history unfolds before he & his family's eyes. Mitchell is a man of faith answering the call of God to record these turbulent times, and counts it a blessing to do so. awesome book! We just got back from a trip to Israel! To read about places we just visited was awesome. Like Mr. Mitchell said, "to read the Bible it is in black and white, to visit Israel and then read the Bible it is in color! I would recommend every believer and non-believer to read this book! Excellent fact finding report, written with a story line that helps the reader get the full picture I appreciate Mitchell's insight over many years of residing in Jerusalem as a Christian journalist. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/Broke-Audiobook/B0047008LU Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/711/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

The future. The fight to fix America - before it's too late. In the words of Harvard economist Niall Ferguson, the United States is an empire on the edge of chaos. Why? Glenn Beck thinks the answer is pretty simple: Because weve turned our backs on the Constitution. Yes, our country is financially broke, but thats just a side effect of our broken spirit, our broken faith in government, the broken promises by our leaders, and a broken political system that has centralized power at the expense of individual rights. There is a lot of work ahead, but we cant move forward until we first understand how we got here. Starting with the American Revolution, Glenn takes readers on an express train through 234 years of history, culminating with the Great Recession and the bipartisan recklessness of Presidents Bush and Obama. Its the history lesson we all wished wed had in school. (Did you know, for example, that FDR once made a key New Deal policy decision based on his lucky number?) Along the way, youll see how everything you thought you knew about the political parties is a lie, how Democrats and Republicans alike used to fight for minimum government and maximum freedom, and how both parties have been taken over by a cancer called progressivism. By the end, youll understand why no president, no congress and no court can fix this problem alone. biacuaduc@gmail.com (Glenn Beck) Tue, 26 Oct 2010 01:32:53 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/Broke-Audiobook/B0047008LU thebookvoice.com 11:22:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/711/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

I really loved how in the beginning of the book Beck talks about the Romans and there government. How the policies of finance lead to fall of a great empire. Then to detail the fiscal policy, in short, of each president from the first to the last; a great relation. What did you like best about this story? Again, it was the beginning. Which character as performed by Glenn Beck and Brian Sack was your favorite? Glenn Beck. I love hearing him talk. Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry? This book definitely gave me a better insight to the polices of President and how debt really is crushing America. Everyone should read this book Glen Beck is very informative, clear and issues our country a challenge to fix what has somehow went off our rightful path. Simply put and easy to understand. Though the truth isn't always pleasant to hear, it does open one's eyes to possibilities. Thank you The hard truth No one likes to hear the truth, especially from a polarizing figure like Glenn Beck, but here it is! The narration of this book is great. The facts presented are thought provoking and the conclusions and Mr Beck's ideas are sane and rational. But, we live in an insane, irrational world so good luck. Timely What did you love best about Broke? This book gives a good over view of the mess we are in now and how be got here. Did Glenn Beck and Brian Sack do a good job differentiating all the characters? How? yes, their voices are not similar Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry? I found it informative. I already knew to cry, I work each day. STUDY This guy does not know economics or the history of economics. He needs to do a lot more studying on the subject before he writes or speaks on the subject. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/Guns-Audiobook/B01GEYV4PK Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/711/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Promising title but poor analysis Each chapter starts with some interesting questions, but then fails to deliver on solid analysis. The case studies are grossly simplified and incapable of reaching any meaningful conclusion. The topic is important and needs more work. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/Summary-of-EJ-Dionne-Jrs-Why-the-Right-Went-Wrong-Conservatism-from-Goldwater-to-the-Tea-Party-and-Beyond-Audiobook/B01EQU7Y6W Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/711/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: Summary of E.J. Dionne Jr's Why the Right Went Wrong: Conservatism from Goldwater to the Tea Party and Beyond Author: Ant Hive Media Narrator: Jim Vann Format: Unabridged Length: 32 mins Language: English Release date: 04-26-16 Publisher: Ant Hive Media Genres: Nonfiction, Politics Publisher's Summary: This is a summary of E.J. Dionne Jr.'s Why the Right Went Wrong: Conservatism from Goldwater to the Tea Party and Beyond. From one of our most engaging political reporters and the author of Why Americans Hate Politics, the story of conservatism from the Goldwater 1960s to the present day Tea Party , which has resulted in broken promises and an ideological purity that drives moderate Republicans away. Why the Right Went Wrong offers a historical view of the right since the 1960s. Its core contention is that American conservatism and the Republican Party took a wrong turn when they adopted Barry Goldwater's worldview during and after the 1964 campaign. The radicalism of today's conservatism is not the product of the Tea Party, Washington Post columnist E.J. Dionne writes. The Tea Partiers are the true heirs to Goldwater ideology. The purity movement did more than drive moderates out of the Republican Party - it beat back alternative definitions of conservatism. Since 1968, no conservative administration - not Nixon not Reagan, not two Bushes - could live up to the rhetoric rooted in the Goldwater movement that began to reshape American politics 50 years ago. The collapse of the Nixon presidency led to the rise of Ronald Reagan, the defeat of George H.W. Bush, to Newt Gingrich's revolution. Bush initially undertook a partial modernization, preaching "compassionate conservatism" and a "Fourth Way" to Clinton's "Third Way." Conservatives quickly defined him as an advocate of "big government" and not conservative enough on spending, immigration, education, and Medicare. A return to the true faith was the only prescription on order. The result was the Tea Party, which Dionne says, was as much a reaction to Bush as to Obama. biacuaduc@gmail.com (Ant Hive Media) Tue, 26 Apr 2016 15:23:29 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/Summary-of-EJ-Dionne-Jrs-Why-the-Right-Went-Wrong-Conservatism-from-Goldwater-to-the-Tea-Party-and-Beyond-Audiobook/B01EQU7Y6W thebookvoice.com 00:32:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/711/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Title: This Burning Land Subtitle: Lessons from the Front Lines of the Transformed Israeli-Palestinian Conflict Author: Greg Myre, Jennifer Griffin Narrator: Stephen Hoye, Susan Denaker Format: Unabridged Length: 12 hrs and 55 mins Language: English Release date: 08-01-12 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 4 votes Genres: Nonfiction, Politics Publisher's Summary: A profoundly different way of looking the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Reporting from Jerusalem for The New York Times and Fox News respectively, Greg Myre and Jennifer Griffin, witnessed a decades-old conflict transformed into a completely new war. The West has learned a lot about asymmetrical war in the past decade. At the same time, many strategists have missed that the Israeli-Palestinian conflict has become one of them. This book shows the importance of applying these hard-won lessons to the longest running, most closely watched occupation and uprising in the world. The entire conflict can seem irrational -- and many commentators see it that way. While raising their own family in Jerusalem at the height of the violence, Myre and Griffin look at the lives of individuals caught up in the struggles to reveal how these actions make perfect sense to the participants. Extremism can become a virtue; moderation a vice. Factions develop within factions. Propaganda becomes an important weapon, and perseverance an essential defense. While the Israelis and the Palestinians have failed to achieve their goals after years of fighting, people on both sides are prepared to make continued sacrifices in the belief that they will eventually emerge triumphant.

This book: Members Reviews: Incredible book This Burning Land is, quite simply, a great book. It manages to be incredibly engaging and entertaining while, at the same time, it offers a perspective and understanding missing from other books on the subject. Greg Myre and Jennifer Myre, married seasoned journalists, spent almost 8 years living in and reporting from Israel, beginning in 1999. They covered every major event involving Israel and the Palestinians during those violent and turbulent years and, by interweaving personal anecdotes and reflective analysis, their book provides invaluable insight into the rational and irrational thinking of all interested parties. Though the book discusses the major Israeli and Palestinian political leaders and organizations, it is perhaps strongest when it allows the reader to get to know many of the less powerful Israeli and Palestinian participants. Myre and Griffin spent significant time in Gaza, and their anecdotes about many of the Gazan families they got to know are haunting and illuminating. The book offers rare glimpses inside the mentalities of the suicide bombers and their families, and the accounts of the hideous bloodshed and carnage they left behind are difficult to forget. I stayed up almost all night reading this book because it is so difficult to put down. I cannot stop thinking about the issues raised in the book because it forced me to look at them in a way I had not before. I strongly recommend this book. This is an excellent book to provide a good context and background to ... This is an excellent book to provide a good context and background to the incredibly complex issues in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. As someone who has spent a month in Israel studying these issues by meeting with people on both sides, I found Myre and Griffin's book to be extremely valuable, and wish I had read it before the time I spent there. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/NSA-Secrets-Audiobook/B00QSDLWV4 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/711/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: NSA Secrets Subtitle: Government Spying in the Internet Age Author: The Washington Post Narrator: James Adams Format: Unabridged Length: 6 hrs and 20 mins Language: English Release date: 01-13-15 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 21 votes Genres: Nonfiction, Politics Publisher's Summary: The NSA's extensive surveillance program has riveted America as the public questions the threats to their privacy. As reported by The Washington Post, in their Pulitzer Prize-winning coverage of whistleblower Edward Snowden's NSA leaks, NSA Secrets delves into the shadowy world of information gathering, exposing how data about you is being gathered every day. From his earliest encrypted exchanges with reporters, Edward Snowden knew he was a man in danger. Sitting on a mountain of incriminating evidence about the NSA surveillance programs, Snowden was prepared to risk his freedom, and his very life, to let the world know about the perceived overreach of the NSA and the massive collection of personal information that was carried out in the name of national security by the U.S. government. The Washington Post's complete coverage of the NSA spying scandal, which it helped break, is now collected in one place to give as comprehensive a view of the story as is known. From the first contact with Snowden to the latest revelations in worldwide cellphone tracking, the award-winning reporters at the Post have vigorously reported on the scope of the NSA's surveillance. Snowden called the internet "a TV that watches you," and accused the government of "abusing [it] in secret to extend their powers beyond what is necessary and appropriate." Here, the secrets are revealed of those who tried in vain to remain in the shadows. biacuaduc@gmail.com (The Washington Post) Tue, 13 Jan 2015 22:38:57 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/NSA-Secrets-Audiobook/B00QSDLWV4 thebookvoice.com 06:20:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/711/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

This is simply a series of recent topical articles from the Washington Post about the NSA and Edward Snowden and associated issues. Within 6.5 hours it is possible to be completely briefed and informed and I would say relatively expert (for a layperson) on the subject. There is naturally some repetition because it consists of articles published over a period of time, but that is the cost of completeness. What other book might you compare NSA Secrets to and why? This is the first such compendium of Washington Post articles I have listened to. I have as a result downloaded others. It is a great concept. What does James Adams bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? Mr Adams is a very professional performer, and unlike other narrators does not distract from the content. Any additional comments? Ignore the other reviewer who complained of repetition, it is an outcome of the format. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/Summary-of-Quiet-Audiobook/B01JS2AFDW Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/711/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: Summary of Quiet Subtitle: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can't Stop Talking Author: Book Summary Narrator: Kelly Rhodes Format: Unabridged Length: 1 hr and 4 mins Language: English Release date: 08-05-16 Publisher: Book Summary Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 2 votes Genres: Nonfiction, Politics Publisher's Summary: This book is powerful in its own way, as it gives a voice to the introverts of this world. That is very significant because as many as one-third to half the people in the world are introverts. Introvert refers to the people who prefer listening to speaking, reading to partying; who invent and create but are not likely to present their ideas; who are more productive working on their own rather than in a team. These people are usually labelled as quiet or reserved or even reclusive, but they also make many contributions to society - this is evident in everything from art done by van Gogh to the invention of the computer. If, like me and the author, you are an introvert, you will find yourself nodding and (silently) agreeing with all that she has written. You will understand her frustration of our extroverted world, and passion for finding balance between the two personality types. This book is actually so convincing, sensible, and genuine it should inevitably effect change in schools and offices. It's also a clever idea to write a book that communicates to introverts a huge percentage of the reading public how awesome and undervalued we are. This book is relevant to all, whether you are an introvert or not. Even extroverts have introverts in their life and can gain value from a book that makes sense of their behaviour. Overall, its an examination into the value society places on introverts and the science that makes people more or less outgoing.

I think that the author of this book did an exceptional job of making this summary very understandable, considering i have not read the actual "the power of introverts in a world loud" original title. I am having to give a short 3-5 minute speech on some of the main points of the original book for class and i am very well prepared after having read through this summary. I think it was written very well and in great detail with clear concise writing which makes it all that more understandable for the reader. I am very glad the author took the time to explain it very well and recommend this title to others who may be short on time. as well as just know yourself better. I never really classified myself as such before Quiet is a fascinating book about the prejudice that our society faces against introverts, and why it's unfounded, and how, as an introvert, you can overcome that, as well as just know yourself better. I never really classified myself as such before, but reading this, I understand why, if I'm exhausted, all I want to be is alone, and how I'm extroverted only when I can control my environment and how that's a thing! If you're shy or are unsure, this is a great read. I think you'll discover something about yourself, that's why I've recommended to a lot of people lately! If you are an extrovert - read this! Find out how an introvert thinks. One Star I was not impressed. Few insights and little to justify my time. Very Helpful! This book has lots of great information. As someone who is somewhat introverted I could relate to most of what the book covered. One of my favorite parts is how it mentions how the most creative people are usually introverted. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/The-News-Audiobook/B00HYH9W1K Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/711/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: The News Subtitle: A User's Manual Author: Alain de Botton Narrator: Nicholas Bell Format: Unabridged Length: 5 hrs and 16 mins Language: English Release date: 02-11-14 Publisher: Bolinda Publishing Pty Ltd Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 17 votes Genres: Nonfiction, Politics Publisher's Summary: The news is everywhere. We cant stop constantly checking it on our computer screens, but what is this doing to our minds? We are never really taught how to make sense of the torrent of news we face every day, writes Alain de Botton (author of the best-selling The Architecture of Happiness), but this has a huge impact on our sense of what matters and of how we should lead our lives. In his dazzling new audiobook, de Botton takes twenty-five archetypal news stories - including an airplane crash, a murder, a celebrity interview and a political scandal - and submits them to unusually intense analysis with a view to helping us navigate our news-soaked age.

We cant stop constantly checking it on our computer screens, but what is this doing to our minds? We are never really taught how to make sense of the torrent of news we face every day, writes Alain de Botton (author of the best-selling The Architecture of Happiness), but this has a huge impact on our sense of what matters and of how we should lead our lives. In his dazzling new audiobook, de Botton takes twenty-five archetypal news stories - including an airplane crash, a murder, a celebrity interview and a political scandal - and submits them to unusually intense analysis with a view to helping us navigate our news-soaked age.

Members Reviews: Eye opening book It presents the news as a potential source for learning and growth. If done correctly, the news can make us wiser and more fulfilled citizens of the world. Great book. Essential listening/ reading Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why? This is a great book, with great advice and thoughts. What didnt you like about Nicholas Bells performance? He is a lifeless reader, and emotionless. I've read the physical book, and he just doesn't bring the book to life. Any additional comments? Hopefully in the future Alain De Botton will be asked to narrate his own books. I spoke with him about this, and he said that he is not asked. Lets hope this changes. On The Media ... As always, after finishing one of Alain de Botton's books, you look up with a fresh perspective on something that had seemed sorted and steady in your mind; the world seems to be a slightly brighter and more interesting place. Here he takes on that multi-headed behemoth, the Media, and slowly dissects it and its relationship with us so that we can better understand its motivations and faults. A very good read, though the production (the music, and the constant interruptive numbers) was slightly distracting. Not his best I've read some great de Botton, such as 'How Proust can Improve your Life' and 'Status Anxiety', but here I was a bit disappointed. There are too many examples, so much of the book is a random stream of news stories - I will resist giving examples - lurid tabloid headlines, catastrophes and the day to day political and economic blur from 'serious' sources such as the BBC - but since we all know what 'stream of news' sounds like, it is unnecessary to rehearse it. Many of de Botton's points are thoughtful - how it is lack of context makes suff boring or unimpressive - but some of it seems rather obvious. I also found him a bit goody-two-shoes, as much of his thrust is about how we should be made to care more about e.g. death in Africa. He visits Uganda and through direct contact learns to care more. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/The-Anglo-American-Empire-Regime-Change-and-the-Ambition-of-Israel-Audiobook/B00H2NO9XW Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/711/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

One describes the advantage that the UK Square Mile took in the financial fleecing of the United States. The second is the advantage Israel took in establishing a financial incentive to neocons, Rothschilds, and other UK wealth to push for regime change in the Middle East. The Anglo-American Empire has adopted a plan for dominance in the Middle East. This dominance taken to its logical conclusion is dangerous and is based upon greed and power. The USA has been abused by both the UK and Israel in this process. One would hope pragmatic leaders in Israel and in the USA and in the UK would moderate these abuses. The financial fleecing of Americans comes from UK easy money and Israeli desires for Middle East dominance. When money, power and religious zeal come together it becomes an unholy alliance.

Title: The Myth of America's Decline Subtitle: Politics, Economics, and a Half Century of False Prophecies Author: Josef Joffe Narrator: Paul Christy Format: Unabridged Length: 8 hrs and 56 mins Language: English Release date: 11-04-13 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 22 votes Genres: Nonfiction, Politics Publisher's Summary: A provocative and contrarian work - filled with great lessons from history - that challenges the pervasive notion that America is on the decline. Once every decade, it is "decline time" in America. In recent years, it has been the unstoppable rise of China that has spelled "finis America." What the Chinese juggernaut is today, the Soviet Union ("We shall bury you") was in the 1950s. The Vietnam decade of the 1960s was described as Americas "collective suicide attempt," while in the 1970s, the United States succumbed to Jimmy Carters famous "malaise," as the dollar dangerously plummeted. The 1980s unquestionably belonged to a resurgent Japan, the "Rising Sun," whereas in the 1990s, Europe shone forth as an "empire by example." In the naughts, it was "Asia Rising" that became the flavor of the decade. Despite a litany of prognostications, these contenders have all fallen back, one by one. While it may be catnip for the media to play up America as a has-been, Josef Joffe, a leading German commentator and Stanford University academic, compellingly shows that declinism is not a cold-eyed diagnosis but a device in the style of the ancient prophets: "Thou shalt perish, unless" Gloom is a prophecy that must be believed so that it will turn out wrong. Joffe repeatedly demonstrates how the "economic miracles" that propelled the rising tide of challengers flounder against their own limits. Hardly confined to Europe alone, declinism has also been an especially nifty career builder for American politicians, among them Kennedy, Nixon, and Reagan, who all rode into the White House by hawking "the end is near." Effortlessly mixing keen historical insights with brilliant diplomatic and economic analysis, The Myth of America's Decline becomes a remarkable reflection on our nations standing in the world and an eye-opening account that challenges the pervasive and now tired notion that America is on the decline. biacuaduc@gmail.com (Josef Joffe) Mon, 04 Nov 2013 14:08:18 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/The-Myth-of-Americas-Decline-Audiobook/B00FRKAF3U thebookvoice.com 08:56:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/711/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: America the beautiful, strong, and welcoming. If you could sum up The Myth of America's Decline in three words, what would they be? A must read (listen). Any additional comments? A must read for all college students, government officials, and those interested in America's greatness. This book will make you fall in love with America all over again. Disappointing What would have made The Myth of America's Decline better? Author makes a good point about the robust nature of the American economy and its position in the world. However the first six chapters basically repeat the same information ad naseum. All could have been stated in one chapter. What was most disappointing about Josef Joffes story? He took far too long to present a fairly basic premise. Did the narration match the pace of the story? Meh. What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment? Optimism. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/The-Time-of-Our-Lives-Audiobook/B005Y1VXBU Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/711/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: The Time of Our Lives Author: Tom Brokaw Narrator: Tom Brokaw Format: Unabridged Length: 7 hrs and 8 mins Language: English Release date: 11-01-11 Publisher: Random House Audio Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 91 votes Genres: Nonfiction, Politics Publisher's Summary: A conversation about America: who we are, where we've been, and where we need to go now, to recapture the American dream. Tom Brokaw, known and beloved for his landmark work in American journalism and for the New York Times best-sellers The Greatest Generation and Boom!, now turns his attention to the challenges that face America in the new millennium, to offer reflections on how we can restore Americas greatness. What happened to the America I thought I knew? Brokaw writes. Have we simply wandered off course, but only temporarily? Or have we allowed ourselves to be so divided that were easy prey for hijackers who could steer us onto a path to a crash landing? ... I do have some thoughts, original and inspired by others, for our journey into the heart of a new century. Rooted in the values, lessons, and verities of generations past and of his South Dakota upbringing, Brokaw weaves together inspiring stories of Americans who are making a difference and personal stories from his own family history, to engage us in a conversation about our country and to offer ideas for how we can revitalize the promise of the American Dream. Inviting us to foster a rebirth of family, community, and civic engagement as profound as the one that won World War II, built our postwar prosperity, and ushered in the Civil Rights era, Brokaw traces the exciting, unnerving changes in modern life - in values, education, public service, housing, the Internet, and more - that have transformed our society in the decades since the age of thrift in which he was raised. Offering ideas from Americans who are change agents in their communities, in The Time of Our Lives, Brokaw gives us, a wise, honest, and wide-ranging book, a nourishing vision of hopefulness in an age of dimished expectations. biacuaduc@gmail.com (Tom Brokaw) Tue, 01 Nov 2011 14:03:33 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/The-Time-of-Our-Lives-Audiobook/B005Y1VXBU thebookvoice.com 07:08:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/711/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: A book for EVERY Generation - Funny & Insightful While I've always been a huge fan of Tom Brokaw, I've yet to read any of his previous books because they always seemed a little...disconnected in relation to my life. I knew that books about the "Greatest Generation" and the "Baby Boomers" would be valuable to read for the very reason that I DIDN'T know nearly enough about them; it's our history, and it's important; but somehow, I've yet to pick one up. That was a large reason I jumped at his newest work as soon as it came out. This book still talks about the past, but does so in order to tie it in with the present and then suggests how we could take what HAS happened, and what IS happening, and see what we can learn about it to help shape our future. Please be assured this is NOT dry reading! It's funny, extremely personal, and totally brilliant. There were many times I cracked up alone in the car while listening to it. Mr. Brokaw covers a myriad of important, fascinating, topical subjects, from the state of education in the world, to the housing crisis, to politics, to personal finance, to being a grandparent; and he does so in a way that is relevant to everyone. (I'm a 39 year old single woman, and the portion on grandparents was one of my favorites). If you are a fan of current events or politics, I'd be extremely surprised if you didn't love this book. As is typically for Mr. Brokaw it's superbly balanced and well thought out. It's was so good, in fact, he's convinced me to jump into his early works that I've heretofore held out on. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/Why-Vote-Leave-Audiobook/B01DFQ2VDO Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/711/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: Why Vote Leave Author: Daniel Hannan Narrator: Daniel Hannan Format: Unabridged Length: 4 hrs and 37 mins Language: English Release date: 03-28-16 Publisher: Head of Zeus Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 17 votes Genres: Nonfiction, Politics Publisher's Summary: MEP and award-winning political writer Daniel Hannan argues for a British exit ahead of the coming referendum. Hannan demonstrates that the EU is past its sell-by date, rendered obsolete by technological advances, shrinking economically and less relevant to our economic needs than ever. Worse than that, he shows that the EU can't reform, can't be democratic and can't be divorced from its goal of ever-closer political union. Staying in does not mean staying the same, and a vote to leave - far from being the risky choice - is actually the safe one. Finally, Hannan argues that Britain doesn't have to stay in the EU to remain at the heart of Europe and considers the global role a confident nation freed from EU strictures could play. Daniel Hannan has been Conservative MEP for South East England since 1999. He writes frequently for the Daily Telegraph, Daily Mail, Guardian, CapX, and Washington Examiner. He is the author of the award-winning How We Invented Freedom & Why It Matters. Critic Reviews: "Confused about the EU referendum? In the dark about which way to vote? Daniel Hannan's invaluable vade mecum will illuminate the whole question showing why voting to leave is a leap back into the light." (Boris Johnson) "Before voting in this historic referendum you should read this brilliant book. If you've decided to vote Leave this will enthuse you if you're not yet sure it will convince you." (Michael Gove) "A must read for anyone who is surprised that so many of us now want to leave the EU." (Lord Owen) "I defy anyone who is undecided on the EU to read this book and not be a convinced Leaver." (Kate Hoey) "The perfect book for someone who wants to hear a calm clear set of reasons for leaving the EU."

(Michael Gove) "A must read for anyone who is surprised that so many of us now want to leave the EU." (Lord Owen) "I defy anyone who is undecided on the EU to read this book and not be a convinced Leaver." (Kate Hoey) "The perfect book for someone who wants to hear a calm clear set of reasons for leaving the EU." (Baroness Jones) "Powerful intelligent hard-hitting well-written...absolutely required reading for every Briton who is considering voting on 23 June." (Andrew Roberts) Members Reviews: A MUST READ EVEN AFTER THE REFERENDUM! Would you consider the audio edition of Why Vote Leave to be better than the print version? For me it is. I prefer to listen especially when the narrator, the author, is such a great orator. What does Daniel Hannan bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? I'm a very auditory person - I learn best from listening - and Daniel Hannan has perfect delivery of his own work. Any additional comments? Those who voted to Remain in the EU are now brandishing all Leave voters as the "Uneducated Masses" and "Racists" Some now even call themselves the 'illuminati' and believe that the right to vote should only be given to citizens who reach a higher level of education. (presumably only those who think as they do!) I have even been told by a few that I think I am better than everyone else, having voted to Leave, and that they are ashamed to be associated with me! . Can they not hear themselves? If you are looking for clarity as to what the heck is going on instead of gullibly believing a very biased or ill informed press, (at least here in the USA) read this book. You will see for yourself why some very educated people also voted to Leave!! Having read this book, I wouldn't be at all surprised to see a new referendum. And I only pray that Daniel Hannan won't give up the good fight. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/Freedom-of-Speech-Mightier-Than-the-Sword-Audiobook/B00W47S8K6 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/711/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: Freedom of Speech: Mightier Than the Sword Author: David K. Shipler Narrator: David K. Shipler Format: Unabridged Length: 12 hrs and 54 mins Language: English Release date: 05-12-15 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 6 votes Genres: Nonfiction, Politics Publisher's Summary: A provocative, timely assessment of the state of free speech in America. With his best seller The Working Poor, Pulitzer Prize winner and former New York Times veteran David K. Shipler cemented his place among our most trenchant social commentators. Now he turns his incisive reporting to a critical American ideal: freedom of speech. Anchored in personal stories - sometimes shocking, sometimes absurd, sometimes dishearteningly familiar - Shipler's investigations of the cultural limits on both expression and the willingness to listen build to expose troubling instabilities in the very foundations of our democracy. Focusing on recent free-speech controversies across the nation, Shipler maps a rapidly shifting topography of political and cultural norms: parents in Michigan rallying to teachers vilified for their reading lists; conservative ministers risking their churches' tax-exempt status to preach politics from the pulpit; national security reporters using techniques more common in dictatorships to avoid leak prosecution; a Washington, DC, Jewish theater's struggle for creative control in the face of protests targeting productions critical of Israel; history teachers in Texas quietly bypassing a reactionary curriculum to give students access to unapproved perspectives; the mixed blessings of the Internet as a forum for dialogue about race. These and other stories coalesce to reveal the systemic patterns of both suppression and opportunity that are making today a transitional moment for the future of one of our founding principles. Measured yet sweeping, Freedom of Speech brilliantly reveals the triumphs and challenges of defining and protecting the boundaries of free expression in modern America. biacuaduc@gmail.com (David K.

Members Reviews: Freedom of Speech Shipler is no novice to reporting or writing, and he holds a Pulitzer Prize for General Non-fiction from 1987. In this book he takes a look at freedom of speech in books, secrets, stereotypes, politics, and plays, the parts that he choose as division for his focus areas. Itâs my opinion that each section can stand alone, but in combination round out the discussion effectively. He attempts to present opposing views as he moves through the sections, but clearly tends to the left of center. Thatâs OK. This is freedom of speech weâre talking about here. We donât need to agree eye to eye to have the discussion. His idea is to promote the discussion and his closing chapters illustrate that well. Civility, financial support, and truth suffer in the debates related to the offerings a theater chooses to present. His introduction (yes, they need to be read. They are important.) says it best. âWhen it comes to either legal limits or cultural limits, the real answer to offensive speech is more speech, not retribution. Truth is the best response to propaganda. Hate festers in places where speech is suppressed, where unwelcome ideas are consigned to darkness.â (10-11). Yes, it does. And he does have more to say in that vein. I appreciated his inclusion of cultural limits in the debate since that can and does differ from the legal limits in several cases he discusses afterward. I do recommend this book. It is challenging to read, but not difficult style-wise. I promise he will make you think about what he presents and how that squares with your own opinions and beliefs. End notes are included. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/The-Case-Against-Hillary-Clinton-Audiobook/B002V1OKA2 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/711/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Noonan takes the measure of the woman, the candidate, and the striving politician, and offers a convincing argument that her calculated bid for power constituted the first truly important election of the new millennium.

(Publishers Weekly) Members Reviews: Peggy, you're better than this Information would have been better presented, not like gossip or sprinkled with snide comments and insults. The information provide is factual and easily searched for with various internet search engines. I can see how all the mean and spiteful things Hillary had done or lied about... when she didn't need to. How she ruined people's lives to make room for friends. "just the Facts Ma'am" would have created a larger audience. I'm conservative. I love Peggy Noonan's books. This book is dated. She wrote this book while Hillary was running for Senator. Still, in between important facts, where snide and insulting remarks (well deserved). Peggy could have decided to reach nice 'soccer moms', grandmothers and other gentile ladies who like things nice. I know politics is a contact sport, but this book could have had a broader world view in mind. Instead, she just fueled the conservative base. A Speech that Doesn't End Peggy Noonan was an excellent speech writer for President Ronal Reagan. But speech writing, in its rhetoric, flare, and oratorical devices is entirely different than writing literature. And in no small manner does Noonan prove the point. The Case Against Hillary is like an Op Ed, that simply doesn't end. Between a few interesting anecdotes, and smidegon of research, is an endless diatribe of all that she believes is wrong with the Clintons. I simply do not know why Peggy Noonan, a speech writer, is any more qualified to talk about the merits of someone's political candidacy, than you or me? Don't make my mistake and use your credit elsewhere. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/Politics-Lost-Audiobook/B002V1BKAU Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/711/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

(Booklist) Members Reviews: Excellent work Mr. Klien presents an entertaining and educational work with "Politics Lost". I found his perspective much more impressive since he clearly attempted to show problems with the "Left" and the "Right" side of the political spectrum. This is in stark contrast with "Just How Stupid Are We" which only focuses on right wing shenanigans. By his own admission, Mr. Klien is certainly left of center but he is cleary brilliant as well. As a Republican I found his book very informative and I highly recommend it to everyone interested in politics. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/The-Quick-and-Dirty-Guide-to-the-Supreme-Court-Audiobook/B01G8X4B7U Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/711/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

It's difficult to say what the founding father's intended for the judicial branch. The Constitution is vague on the Court's workings and its responsibilities. This is ironic considering that the Court is the branch government most charged with interpreting the intent of the founders. This book examines, in our own Quick and Dirty way, the responsibilities and history of the Court. The Court began as a body that mostly considered procedural issues and has grown into the organ of government that has expanded marriage rights to homosexuals, deliberates on the rights of citizens to own deadly weapons, and even chose the president in 2000. This text answers questions such as "Has the court always been politically motivated?" "How does it choose its cases?" and even "Which Justice has to open the chamber door when someone knocks?"

It will give you an overview of the politics & major cases that is understandable & memorable. Very informative! Excellent book! Easy to read and provides a wealth of information in a concise format. I especially appreciated the highlight of major SCOTUS decisions - really gives a nice perspective on some current laws. I'll be ready more Dirty Guides for sure! Great and to the point! This guide was very clear and to the point. It answered any questions I did have and plenty that I hadn't thought of yet. Just the right length. Excellent read Very enjoyable to read and some great insight into one of our most important institutions. Written With The Complexity Of A Freshman Political Science Paper Do not waste your money. The author provides sweeping statements with no explanation or support. He downright botches several of the cases he summarizes (for example, he states the Chief Justice John Roberts voted in favor of gay marriage, um....no, no he did not, he even wrote a very harsh dissent against gay marriage). Then one entire chapter is simply the author listing names of Supreme Court Justices and their tenures (with no other information) for a solid 20 minutes. I can find a list of Justices on Wikipedia, I didn't buy an audio book to listen to someone read them to me for 20 minutes. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/Las-Reglas-y-Los-Principios-Frente-a-la-Realidad-The-Rules-and-Principles-Facing-Reality-Audiobook/B00NLMHSJK Escuche este audio libro completo gratis en https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/711/]]> Título: Las Reglas y Los Principios Frente a la Realidad (The Rules and Principles Facing Reality) Subtitular: Los Derechos Fundamentales en el Paradigma Neoconstitucional No. 1 Autor: Omar Sar Suarez Narrador: RUMI Productions LLC Formato: Unabridged Duración: 1 hr and 23 mins Idioma: Español Fecha de publicación: 09-16-14 Editor: RUMI Productions LLC Categorías: Nonfiction, Politics Resumen del editor: Es una distinción que el Doctor Omar Sar Suarez haya escogido a RUMI Productions LLC, para la versión electrónica y en audio del libro, Las Reglas y los Principios Frente a la Realidad, de la serie de libros bajo el título, Los Derechos Fundamentales en el Paradigma Neo-constitucional.

He is a political obsessive with a personal hinterland, as well known as a Tory Wet with Europhile views as for his love of cricket, Nottingham Forest Football Club and jazz. In Kind of Blue, Clarke charts his remarkable progress from working-class scholarship boy in Nottinghamshire to high political office and the upper echelons of both his party and of government. But Clarke is not a straightforward Conservative politician. His position on the left of the party, often led Margaret Thatcher to question his true blue credentials and his passionate commitment to the European project, has led many fellow Conservatives to regard him with suspicion - and cost him the leadership on no less than three occasions. Clarke has had a ringside seat in British politics for four decades, and his trenchant observations and candid account of life both in and out of government will enthrall listeners of all political persuasions. Vivid, witty and forthright, and taking its title not only from his politics but from his beloved Miles Davis, Kind of Blue is political memoir at its very best. biacuaduc@gmail.com (Ken Clarke) Thu, 20 Oct 2016 09:60:50 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/Kind-of-Blue-Audiobook/B01M3Q2P1A thebookvoice.com 23:29:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/711/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: True Blue Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why? I already have! Ken Clarke's narration adds to the insight of his experiences across many years in parliament. Although I don't always agree with him politically, I felt a better understanding of the reasoning behind some decisions. Brexit makes this even more relevant. What did you like best about this story? How different ministries work and the trade unions associated with them. How politics and politicians roles have changed, also the rise of the right/media changes. What does Ken Clarke bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you had only read the book? I like his voice, but also he's able to stress things that's made it seem more personal. I can understand why he'd make a good companion. Any additional comments? Puts context into the actions of some post Brexit and yet despite it being a book about government in the main, I found it a very easy and enjoyable listen. Good company Ken Clarke kept me company whist walking Hadrian's wall. His personal style and open reflections gave me insight into the political landscape of recent years. He has width & breadth of government experience that few can match and his politics of principle come across. I shall now read the book! But shall continue to hear his voice - am glad that he read his own story. Strongly recommended A great listen An excellent listen, full of interesting anecdotes. I'd have liked more analysis of 1997-2010. His aloofness is one of his best features, and no doubt helps explain his longevity in politics, but more thorough description of the events of the time would have been interesting. All the same, a joy to listen to. Fascinating book A reminder of what a mess the UK was in back in the 1970's and what the Tories did for good and bad. Ken Clarke is one of the best of them and he give a clear insight into his beliefs and views. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/Introduction-au-droit-en-1-heure-Audiobook/B00TTHTSIU Écoutez ce livre audio dans son intégralité gratuitement sur https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/711/]]> Titre: Introduction au droit en 1 heure Sous-titre: Collection "Que sais-je?"

Title: The American Presidency: A Very Short Introduction Author: Charles O. Jones Narrator: Kevin Young Format: Unabridged Length: 5 hrs and 20 mins Language: English Release date: 11-07-13 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 3 of 5 out of 2 votes Genres: Nonfiction, Politics Publisher's Summary: Presidential authority Charles O. Jones provides a marvelously concise survey of the American presidency thats packed with surprising observations about the way assertive leaders enhanced presidential power and how such factors as philosophy, relations with Congress, and outside events have all influenced presidential authority. He also sheds light on the political process of selecting presidents, from the days of the deadlocked conventions to the rise of the primary system after World War II. Editorial Reviews: Kevin Youngs avuncular, plainspoken performance pairs well with Charles O. Jones understated prose in The American Presidency: A Very Short Introduction. Written in 2007, when the expansion of presidential power first started being questioned, Jones short volume provides an overview of the highest political office in the United States. The author writes eloquently about the development of the executive branch, and uses historical examples to describe both the presidents powers and limitations. Young performs Jones commentary in a steady, cascading style, and his mature voice and authority will make listeners feel as though theyre in the seminar room with their favorite professor. biacuaduc@gmail.com (Charles O.

Members Reviews: He Shall From Time to Time The American Presidency is part information and history. From the historical sense it shows the growing pains of the executive branch and the tug of war that has existed between it and the legislature and judiciary, sometimes being pulled between the other two branches, each way being as our Founders intended.This very short introduction describes how the presidency began to define itself through crises and struggle to become what has become today. Presidents often inherit more responsibility than they want or bargain for. Years of developing programs into law mean the president must devote time to policies that interfere with the changes he wants to make to define him and his presidency, and the president is often credited with or blamed for economic fortunes for which he has less control than the chairman of the Fed. Current circumstances bear this out with President Obama being credited with growth or blamed for economic growth being too slow. This book always answered questions for answers I wanted but was too lazy to look up. When did the Democratic-Republican Party cease to exist, and when was the Democratic Party born? It turns out it was Andrew Jackson who was the last of one and the first of the other. The book also lists the presidents, their party, their percentage of electoral votes and popular vote, and the least important of all, their vice presidents. Supreme Court decisions affecting the president are also listed. Author, Charles O. Jones, is trying to convey information rather than interest, and gives more information than I will wager the average American knows. It is also one of those books in which you have to be completely absorbed in what you are reading or you might find you've gone on to the next page without being able to recount what you read on the previous one. As I said, it's for information, not for enjoyment. It's a book I have read from time to time, just as the Constitution bids the president to do with the State of the Union. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/Bowing-to-Beijing-Audiobook/B0064RA9KY Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/711/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 3 votes Genres: Nonfiction, Politics Publisher's Summary: Communist China is lying, cheating, and stealing its way into becoming a global superpower. And whats worse, President Obama is not only letting this happen but helping China do so. So argues best-selling author William Triplett II and Washington Times editor Brett M. Decker in their shocking book, Bowing to Beijing. Here, Triplett and Decker reveal how Chinas rapid rise directly correlates with Americas declineand the dangerous consequences this trend holds for us here and abroad.

Our win-win relationship with Chinain which Obama appeases China so they win twice while we loseis crippling us and is detrimental to our future.

Fabulous book, every page is loaded with info and documentation. Brilliant writer, love when books are short but packed tight with info, no struggling through pages of uninteresting info. This is a grand book, everyone should read it to know all about Beijing. Decker is truly brilliant. A very readable MUST READ on America's #1 problem! Bowing to Beijing is a stunning indictment of the Obama administration's failed foreign policy backed by the frightening details of an America caught in a geopolitical death spiral carefully engineered by the Chinese Communist Party. Brett M. Decker and William C. Triplett, II have chosen to pull no punches as they line up the specifics of China's unyielding attack on America's economy, values, and military position and point them straight at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. While the details themselves are extremely engaging - the amazing stories of Chinese shenanigans via its puppet state in North Korea alone are worth the price alone - the power of this book is it the way it boldly ties all these tales of communist misbehavior into a package that leaves no doubt as to their purpose: total destruction of American power and values. Bowing to Beijing is an extremely partisan book to be sure. If you're a red blooded Republican or Tea Party member you will bask in the light of each explosive page.

Bernie Sanders stormed international headlines after running an extraordinary campaign for the Democratic primaries that saw over 13 million people turn out to vote for him and changed the global discussion surrounding US politics. But how did a complete unknown and a democratic socialist make such waves? In Our Revolution, Sanders provides a unique insight into the campaign that galvanized a movement, sharing experiences from the campaign trail and the ideas and strategies that shaped it. Sanders' message resonated with millions. His supporters are young and old, dissatisfied with expanding social inequality, struggling with economic instability and fighting against a political elite that has long ignored them. This global phenomenon is driving movements from Syriza in Greece to Podemos in Spain and the support for Jeremy Corbyn in the UK. Drawing on decades of experience as an activist and public servant, Sanders outlines his ideas for continuing this revolution. He shows how we can fight for a progressive economic, environmental, racial and social justice agenda that creates jobs, raises wages and protects the planet. Searing in its assessment of the current political and economic situation but hopeful and inspiring in its vision of the future, this book is essential for anyone tired of 'same as usual' politics and looking for a way to change the game. biacuaduc@gmail.com (Bernie Sanders) Thu, 01 Jun 2017 20:39:43 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/Our-Revolution-Audiobook/B071VTL2CS thebookvoice.com 18:34:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/711/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Trump also feels the burn. The burn in his crotch As usual, Bernie provides some common sense to main stream political thought. Too bad it's so uncommon. Well argued, very inspiring. Ruffalo brings Hollywood glamour to potentially dry public policy proposals. Ends on an optimistic note. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/Mission-America-Audiobook/B01MYXLDFC Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/711/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: Mission America Subtitle: Straight Talk About Military Transition Author: Scott Mann Narrator: Lt Col Scott Mann Ret Format: Unabridged Length: 2 hrs and 54 mins Language: English Release date: 12-12-16 Publisher: MannUp Leadership Experience Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 3 votes Genres: Nonfiction, Politics Publisher's Summary: Ever since the days of Homer, warriors have faced an epic battle for which many were ill-prepared - coming home after a life of military service. Whether you served three years or 30, transitioning to civilian life is an odyssey in its own right. Despite over 40,000 veteran advocacy organizations trying to assist military members, massive corporate hiring programs for veterans, and increased efforts by the Department of Defense, veteran transition is tough stuff - not just for our military service members but their families as well. Many veterans say that transition to civilian life is the biggest obstacle they've ever faced. What if it didn't have to be this way? What if everything you needed for a happy and prosperous transition was already inside you? What if the very warrior ethos forged in the mission-focused environment of military service was the single greatest asset in your kit bag? Mission America combines a no-BS look at the realities of military transition and an eye-opening perspective on how to leverage the highly relevant warrior attributes you already possess. Retired Green Beret and strategic entrepreneur Scott Mann takes you on a journey where you'll see that, in order to live the life you've so richly earned through your selfless service, there is still one more mission in front of you...Mission America. biacuaduc@gmail.com (Scott Mann) Mon, 12 Dec 2016 14:44:54 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/Mission-America-Audiobook/B01MYXLDFC thebookvoice.com 02:54:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/711/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Title: The Impeachment of Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton for High Crimes in Syria and Libya Author: James Ostrowski, Michael Ostrowski Narrator: Joe Nagle Format: Unabridged Length: 2 hrs Language: English Release date: 11-08-16 Publisher: Listen and Think Audio Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 1 votes Genres: Nonfiction, Politics Publisher's Summary: This book proposes the impeachment of Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton for high crimes in Libya and Syria. Michael Ostrowski and James Ostrowski, who heard their father condemn the Vietnam War in a speech in 1970, have teamed up to write a profoundly antiwar book. When you hear the title, you may be tempted to think it's a partisan book. But it's not. It's mainly an antiwar and anti-state book that is really four books in one. First, the authors explain the colossal error that was American foreign policy in the Middle East for the last 100 years. Second, they expand the theory of progressivism (developed in James Ostrowski's 2014 book) and apply it to foreign policy. Hint: progressivism is even worse when applied to foreign affairs. Third, they introduce a new concept into political dialogue, archism, that helps clarify the source of so many seemingly intractable problems plaguing the modern world. Finally, they do deliver on the promise of the title. The book is a sustained argument for the impeachment of Obama and Hillary for starting or joining two illegal and extremely destructive wars that have the world on the edge of disaster. biacuaduc@gmail.com (James Ostrowski) Tue, 08 Nov 2016 02:07:44 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/The-Impeachment-of-Barack-Obama-and-Hillary-Clinton-for-High-Crimes-in-Syria-and-Libya-Audiobook/B01M7YG670 thebookvoice.com 00:02:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/711/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Sununu pays tribute to his former boss - an intelligent, thoughtful, modest leader - and his overlooked accomplishments. Though George H. W. Bush is remembered for orchestrating one of the largest and most successful military campaigns in history - the Gulf War - Sununu argues that conventional wisdom misses many of Bush's other great achievements. During his presidency the Berlin Wall fell, and the Soviet Union collapsed. Bush's calm and capable leadership during this dramatic time helped shape a world in which the United States emerged as the lone superpower. Sununu reminds us that President Bush's domestic achievements were equally impressive, including strengthening civil rights, enacting environmental protections, and securing passage of the Americans with Disabilities Act and the 1990 agreement that generated budget surpluses and a decade of economic growth. biacuaduc@gmail.com (John H.

As Aneesh Chopra shows in Innovative State, once it became clear how much this would change America, a movement arose around the idea that these same technologies could reshape and improve government. But the idea languished, and while the private sector innovated, our government stalled, trapped in a model designed for the America of the 1930s and 1960s. The election of Barack Obama offered a new opportunity. In 2009, Aneesh Chopra was named the first Chief Technology Officer of the United States federal government. Previously the Secretary of Technology for Virginia and managing director for a health care think tank, Chopra was tasked with leading the administrations initiatives for a more open, tech-savvy government. Inspired by private sector trailblazers, Chopra wrote the playbook for governmental open innovation. In Innovative State he offers an absorbing look at how open government can establish a new paradigm for the internet era and allow us to tackle our most challenging problems, from economic development to affordable health care. biacuaduc@gmail.com (Aneesh Chopra) Tue, 17 Jun 2014 12:22:49 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/Innovative-State-Audiobook/B00KSD1KGW thebookvoice.com 09:27:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/711/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Promoting standards and offering incentives are among the best things government can do Interesting account of how government can be made to work more effectively and efficiently -- sometimes. Promoting standards and offering incentives are among the best things government can do, and Chopra offers a number of good examples from his own recent tenure as Obama's Chief Technology Officer. On the other hand, his infectious enthusiasm and high energy may have contributed more than he realizes to the successes he recounts -- a couple of the agencies he discussed were already turing sour (VA, in particular) while the book was being printed. Government is too complicated for quick cure-alls. He does give a good quick summary of the most important reasons why reforms don't always work. But Chopra does make a strong case that the right approach, vigorously implemented with top-level backing, can make some parts of it much better, with benefits to us all. A required read for anyone who wants to improve government by leveraging the innovation of startups and individual citizens I was skeptical of this book at first, thinking it might be potentially biased in a politically. However, I was pleasantly surprised that it very often references achievements by a wide range of Presidents and politicians throughout American history towards improving government by opening up data and resources to the private sector, from Thomas Jefferson to today. For example, it provides information about how Thomas Jefferson was a weather fanatic, which eventually led to the creation of the National Weather Service, upon which a huge portion of our modern economy is built, using it for forecasting, planning, etc. It clearly shows how government can be, and has been in the past, a catalyst of private sector innovation by removing barriers to entry through easy access to data and other resources. It also provides a critique of areas where previous efforts have failed, and how we could learn from those events today. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/The-Cult-of-Common-Core-Audiobook/B010WHHESG Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/711/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

When he discovers what it has in store for our children's minds and our country's exceptionalism, he decides to work towards the destruction of the common core beast. Written in a concise, easy-to-understand style, The Cult of Common Core will inform you and alarm you. But it will also arm you with the necessary facts to intelligently and forcefully fight for your children and your country before school boards or arrogant politicians who voted it into your life. Using humor, and plain, mostly acronym-free language, Brad takes you with him to Chicago as he works with the common core high command. Brad takes you through a history of the common core and identifies all the key players, as well as warns you of the common core's true intentions for your child and our education delivery system. Brad takes down each of the common core's talking points one by one. Common core is more "rigorous" - no. Common Core has overwhelming support of teachers? - no. Common core was a "state-led" initiative? - no. The federal government has no role in common core? - hell no. Brad also details the intimidation from his State Department of Education as his anti-common core message became public. Just as we are moving from theory to implementation with Obamacare and discovering its true goals with healthcare, so too shall America begin discovering Common Core's goals for education.

Brad takes you through a history of the common core and identifies all the key players, as well as warns you of the common core's true intentions for your child and our education delivery system. Brad takes down each of the common core's talking points one by one. Common core is more "rigorous" - no. Common Core has overwhelming support of teachers? - no. Common core was a "state-led" initiative? - no. The federal government has no role in common core? - hell no. Brad also details the intimidation from his State Department of Education as his anti-common core message became public. Just as we are moving from theory to implementation with Obamacare and discovering its true goals with healthcare, so too shall America begin discovering Common Core's goals for education. Don't be on the sidelines in the fight for your children's minds and our country's exceptionalism! This is the anti-Common Core movement's "little red book" to fight the Common Core's "big red agenda". Members Reviews: eye opening,revealing,shocking very good book awesome what they are teaching,or not teaching is shocking,unnerving,and deceitful I recommend it to all Truth About Our Education System Wonderfully written and tells the truth about Common Core and some people who are behind this. The shadow government and some in our congress and leadership want to use our children to get their new world order in. It all ties in with Agenda 21! https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/Our-Presidents-Their-Prayers-Audiobook/B01604GLDY Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/711/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: Our Presidents & Their Prayers Subtitle: Proclamations of Faith by America's Leaders Author: Rand Paul, James Randall Robison Narrator: Rand Paul, James Randall Robinson Format: Unabridged Length: 4 hrs and 3 mins Language: English Release date: 10-20-15 Publisher: Hachette Audio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 7 votes Genres: Nonfiction, Politics Publisher's Summary: What is the single most important common thread that unites all American Presidents - such a small number of extraordinary people from different centuries, parties, backgrounds, and experiences - as they shoulder the overwhelming responsibilities of the office of president of the United States? There is only one possible answer: their faith. As a respected national leader and a man of deep faith himself, Senator Rand Paul has written Our Presidents & Their Prayers in collaboration with James Randall Robison to remind us all that in a country founded by religious people, that abiding and rock-solid belief in God has been the key to each and every president's strength. Senator Paul's inspiring look into the heartfelt sentiments and personal prayers of leaders past and present becomes a powerful testament to our incredible accomplishments: winning the revolution, writing the Constitution, and leading the world as the most exceptional and longest-lasting democracy in history. It's nothing short of a miracle, then and now. Every man who has answered the people's call to become president has looked for and found answers in his faith as he faced the nation's problems, and each president has frequently described his reliance on the Creator in his public speeches, official proclamations, and private prayers. Join Senator Paul in applauding the important role faith has played in our country through over 225 years of triumphs and struggles, justice and injustice, accomplishments and setbacks, war and peace. In Our Presidents & Their Prayers, Senator Paul stands up to the doubters in this most timely and important affirmation of how faith and prayer have always guided us and why they must continue to do so as we face major decisions for the future of our country.

Members Reviews: Complicated issue - explained in depth Would you listen to Beating Obamacare again? Why? The ACA is a monster of a law and "Beating Obamacare..." attempts to go through the law, not only showing how different parts of the law interact with other laws, but gives specific details about how this law will impact people. These details are not found anywhere else that I have found. The narration is good and maybe it is the subject matter that drags it down just a little bit but overall it stays interesting if you want to know what it is all about. The author presents the book as not being slanted for or against the law but, it gives the impression of the author being against the law. This is fine though because what comes out very clear is the facts of what you will learn about the law that no one else will tell you. On that issue alone I recommend this to EVERYONE. What was one of the most memorable moments of Beating Obamacare? Learning about the intricacies of the law that I have not seen anywhere else or that are just now starting to dribble out to the American people. What does Phoebe Simon bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? She is consistent in her reading. It is a tough subject and she holds her own. Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? Not something I think anyone could listen to in one sitting because of the depth of the information. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/Mutter-Blamage-und-die-Brandstifter-Das-Versagen-der-Angela-Merkel-warum-Deutschland-eine-echte-Alternative-braucht-Audiobook/B07254KK3F Hören Sie sich dieses volle Hörbuch kostenlos bei https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/711/]]> Titel: Mutter Blamage und die Brandstifter: Das Versagen der Angela Merkel - warum Deutschland eine echte Alternative braucht Autor:: Stephan Hebel Erzähler: Sebastian Pappenberger Format: Unabridged Spieldauer: 8 hrs and 13 mins Sprache: Deutsch Veröffentlichungsdatum: 04-26-17 Herausgeber: ABOD Verlag Kategorien: Nonfiction, Politics Zusammenfassung des Herausgebers: Die Unantastbare wankt.

Title: You Can't Spell America Without Me Subtitle: The Really Tremendous Inside Story of My Fantastic First Year as President Donald J. Trump (A So-Called Parody) Author: Alec Baldwin, Kurt Andersen Narrator: Oliver Wyman, Alec Baldwin, Kurt Andersen Format: Unabridged Length: 5 hrs and 57 mins Language: English Release date: 11-09-17 Publisher: Random House Audiobooks Genres: Nonfiction, Politics Publisher's Summary: Random House presents the audiobook edition of You Can't Spell America Without Me by Alec Baldwin and Kurt Andersen. Political satire as deeper truth: Donald Trump's presidential memoir, as recorded by two world-renowned Trump scholars and experts on greatness generally. "I have the best words, beautiful words, as everybody has been talking and talking about for a long time. Also? The best sentences and, what do you call them, paragraphs. My previous books were great and sold extremely, unbelievably well - even the ones by dishonest, disgusting so-called journalists. But those writers didn't understand Trump, because quite frankly they were major losers. People say if you want it done right you have to do it yourself, even when 'it' is a 'memoir'. So every word of this book was written by me, using a special advanced word processing system during the many, many nights I've been forced to stay alone in the White House - only me, just me, trust me, nobody helped. And it's all 100 percent true, so true - people are already saying it may be the truest book ever published. Enjoy." Until Donald Trump publishes his account of his entire four or eight or one-and-a-half years in the White House, the definitive chronicle will be You Can't Spell America Without Me: The Really Tremendous Inside Story of My Fantastic First Year as President. He was elected because he was the most frank presidential candidate in history, a man always eager to tell the unvarnished truth about others' flaws as well as his own excellence. Now that refreshingly compulsive un-PC candor is applied to his time as leader of the free world. The mind-boggling private encounters with world leaders. The genius backroom strategy sessions with White House advisers. His triumphs over the dishonest news media. The historic, world-changing decisions - many of them secret until now.

Members Reviews: Only Alec can do Trump Didn't like that Alec Baldwin didn't narrate the whole book and stay in character! Once Kurt Anderson began he just couldn't do Trump and it lost its appeal as Alec has the knack to sound like Trump and deliver the lines with way he says it raising his tone of voice as necessary ie Quote like "Thirsten Howl the third!" That is hilarious! But if he stayed in character this book would have been excellent! Skipped many chapters after I heard Anderson ( no offence) doing Trump! Just did not sound like him or deliver lines way Alec does them to perfection! Please redo this book just with Alec! O Hilarious for lovers & haters If you love Alec Baldwin on SNL, you will love this witty take on of the world's craziest man!!! A bit repetitive . It is quite funny but if I'm honest I'd have to say it gets very repetitive. I'm sure it could have been less than half the time. Very funny Would be 5 stars except that half of it is not Alec Baldwin doing the trump voice.

Title: The Death of Conservatism Author: Sam Tanenhaus Narrator: Alan Sklar Format: Unabridged Length: 4 hrs and 11 mins Language: English Release date: 09-02-09 Publisher: Tantor Audio Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 27 votes Genres: Nonfiction, Politics Publisher's Summary: For 75 years, he argues, the Right has been split between two factions: consensus-driven "realists," who believe in the virtue of government and its power to adjust to changing conditions, and movement "revanchists," who distrust government and society---and often find themselves at war with America itself. Eventually, Tanenhaus writes, the revanchists prevailed, and the result is the decadent "movement conservatism" of today, a defunct ideology that is "profoundly and defiantly unconservative---in its arguments and ideas, its tactics and strategies, above all in its vision". But there is hope for conservatism. It resides in the examples of pragmatic leaders like Dwight Eisenhower and Ronald Reagan and thinkers like Whittaker Chambers and William F. Buckley, Jr. Each came to understand that the true role of conservatism is not to advance a narrow ideological agenda but to engage in a serious dialogue with liberalism and join with it in upholding "the politics of stability." Conservatives today need to rediscover the roots of this honorable tradition. It is their only route back to the center of American politics. At once succinct and detailed, penetrating and nuanced, The Death of Conservatism is a must-listen for Americans of any political persuasion. Editorial Reviews: Actor Alan Sklar's grave voice is well-suited to this concise political exploration of the trajectory of America's conservative movement over the course of the past half century. In The Death of Conservatism, Sam Tanenhaus provides a strong, well-organized overview of the history of right-wing conservatives in the United States, outlining the path by which he claims today's "movement conservatism" was born and rose to power and popularity. Sklar is an authoritative and articulate performer but manages also to create a truly engaging listening experience, injecting movement and emotion into this intriguing and informative work.

Critic Reviews: [This] impeccably well-written book insightfully summarizes the highs and lows of American conservatism over the decades. (Publishers Weekly) Members Reviews: Intelligent Indictment... of the hidebound, ideologically-driven fundamentalism that has made for the wasteful and unproductive political stand-off in the American two party system over the last forty or so years. The book has flaws. For one, its title is far too apocalyptic, and the book itself acknowledges this tacitly, making suggestions for revitalizing the conservative party; and too, it underestimates the stagnation of the liberal party, which has come about for the same reason that the conservatives have become so steadily ossified, that is, the espousal of a hard party line, conformity over consensus. The book's highlights are its reflections on the political theories of Burke and Disraeli, too brilliant men who should be read by all, but are, alas, probably beyond the uninformed and unintelligent masses which have made for the unthinking, unreflective ideological systems we currently have in place. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/A-Struggle-of-Ideas-Audiobook/B002V5IW1G Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/711/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Title: Big Money Subtitle: 2.5 Billion Dollars, One Suspicious Vehicle, and a Pimp - on the Trail of the Ultra-Rich Hijacking American Politics Author: Kenneth P. Vogel Narrator: Jonathan Yen Format: Unabridged Length: 12 hrs and 39 mins Language: English Release date: 06-03-14 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 15 votes Genres: Nonfiction, Politics Publisher's Summary: Mark Hanna, the turn-of-the-century iron-and-coal-magnate-turned-operative who leveraged massive contributions from the robber barons, was famously quoted as saying: "There are two things that are important in politics. The first is money, and I cant remember what the second one is." To an extent that would have made Hanna blush, a series of developments capped by the Supreme Court's 2010 Citizens United decision effectively crowned a bunch of billionaires and their operatives the new kings of politics. Big Money is a rollicking tour of a new political world dramatically reordered by ever-larger flows of cash. Ken Vogel has breezed into secret gatherings of big-spending Republicans and Democrats alike, from California poolsides to DC hotel bars, to brilliantly expose the way the mega-money men (and rather fewer women) are dominating the new political landscape. Great wealth seems to attach itself to outsize characters. From the casino magnate Sheldon Adelson to the bubbling nouveau cowboy Foster Friess; from the Texas trial lawyer couple Amber and Steve Mostyn, to the micromanaging Hollywood executive Jeffrey Katzenberg, the multimillionaires and billionaires are swaggering up to the tables for the hottest new game in politics.

This is not the kind of book that I would read a second time. It is an entertaining narrative, but its real value is that it provides a wealth of timely information about a subject that is changing and evolving rapidly. If you are considering purchasing the book, the time to do it is now. If you wait until after the 2014 elections, much of the information will be moot. The book sets out to explain the way money flowed into US federal elections in 2010 and 2012, and in this succeeds wonderfully. It is a thorough overview and history of campaign finance during this period and is packed with information that helps the reader understand what is and has been happening with money in politics over the past few years. At the same time, the book's focus on campaign finance during a 4-year period is also the its main weakness. The author has an excellent grasp of the ways money flows into politics today, and benefits from access to donors and consultants who are active in this space, but his expertise seems to end there. The book does not provide anything more than cursory, superficial descriptions of the campaigns and political candidates who benefit from the money, or the Tea Party movement, or the issues on which recent campaigns have turned. Further, while the authors hints at ways the influx of big-donor money may translate into influence on policy, this and the other key question about the significance of the conduct documented by the book are never really tackled. Ultimately, I don't believe this is the author's failing, but merely indicative of the fact that the topic about which he is writing is so still new that its significance, if any, is simply not yet clear. Great read for political practitioners and junkies and anyone who really wants to understand how money is flowing into our politics and where it is combing from. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/After-the-Cataclysm-Audiobook/B00V3MIOU2 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/711/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Excellent follow up by Chomsky to the Washington Consensus Excellent follow up by Chomsky to the Washington Consensus. Critical to understand how foreign policy worked in the Vietnam/Cambodia days, as history does repeat itself (I.e., so long as we still have capitalism, we will continue to have imperialist wars). I give the book two stars because the numerous citations may be useful to those doing their own research Slanted. I read this book several decades ago, shortly after it was published in 1978. At the time I was doing some research on human rights in Vietnam and was getting to know Vietnamese "boat people" refugees who had endured incredible hardships under the communist regime and in fleeing the country. But their stories are largely ignored in this book. The authors go after reporters who wrote critically of the post 75 regimes of Indochina while praising the few works written by fellow leftist activists defending the regimes. Inconvenient facts, such as the arrest of leaders of the Unified Buddhist Church of Vietnam, are ignored or dismissed. They further show their contempt for victims of these regimes by comparing them to Nazi collaborators or those who supported England during our revolution. I give the book two stars because the numerous citations may be useful to those doing their own research. Cuts through official propaganda Nowhere does the book praise "Stalinism." The issue is simply that of a colonial power smashing a national movement. In the 19th Century the prevailing ideollogy might have been Christiandom vs. Islam; by the 1960's it was the "Free World" vs. "Godless Communism." The essential power relatons of empire remain the same. To criticise the larger power and its bullying tactics is not to whitewash the other side; but the normal human reaction among the unbrainwashed is to take the side of the little guy fighting for his life over the big fat aggressor. Beware Imperialist Running Dogs! A book that begs us to call into serious question the nature of the society in which we, live. Using examples from postwar Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia, it presents the broader issue, of "how our system really works": Government, media, and such. A disgraceful love letter to Pol Pot and Ieng Sary Ensconced in the ivory tower of American academia, neither Noam Chomsky nor Edward Herman would have survived day one of Cambodia's infamous "Year Zero" - an "agrarian reform" that led to the deaths of roughly two million people - one quarter of the population of Cambodia. Luckily for Chomsky, the governor of Massachusetts (Chomsky is a linguistics professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Cambridge, MA) did not summarily round up, torture, convict and execute the intelligensia and bourgeois classes in Massachusetts. Sadly for Cambodia (or Kampuchea, if you prefer) Pol Pot's Khmer Rouge government did just this in Cambodia. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/ObamaCare-for-Beginners-Your-Survival-Guide-Book-to-Beating-ObamaCare-Audiobook/B00DHHWTPW Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/711/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Basic nuts and bolts of this law are explained A person who has followed the press on this law closely probably knows most of this. But it is a good background and basic primer on this law. I had expected a polemic against the law, based on the title, but as amazon book reviews made clear, it presents pro and con arguments neutrally, without a slant to "beat" this law. That's good, because I would not pay for an earful of shrill complaining, I just want to know the nuts and bolts of the law as it stands. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/India-Shastra-Audiobook/B01N5W33F6 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/711/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: India Shastra Subtitle: Reflections on the Nation in Our Time Author: Shashi Tharoor Narrator: Shriram Iyer Format: Unabridged Length: 26 hrs and 56 mins Language: English Release date: 02-13-17 Publisher: Audible Studios Genres: Nonfiction, Politics Publisher's Summary: This has been a time of unprecedented change in the country. The transformation of India's politics, economy, foreign policy, media, civil rights, governance and a myriad other aspects of our society and government has been swift and disruptive, sometimes brutally so. Narendra Modi, the nations new prime minister, and his Bharatiya Janata Party, dominate the political scene, as the Congress once did, and are attempting to change the way we work, think, pray and conduct ourselves as citizens of the planets most populous democracy. There are signs that the nation is moving in directions that will benefit its people - the economy has begun to revive, its foreign policy appears to be purposefully pursuing a visible place in the world, and polls show that a significant percentage of the nation's youth are optimistic about the future. At the same time, there are serious concerns about the rise of majoritarianism and religious fundamentalism (often, this is one and the same thing) and a disquieting intolerance of free speech, dissent and religious freedom. Moreover, there appears to be no end to corruption, hate speech, criminals in politics, terrorism, violence against women, bureaucratic lethargy, governmental incompetence, endemic poverty, environmental degradation and a host of other problems that India has been struggling to overcome for decades. What does the future hold? Is the promise of good times a mere illusion? Have we forgotten the democratic, humane, secular and liberal values that our founding fathers endowed us with? Are high-speed trains and missions to Mars eclipsing the vital need to achieve universal literacy, eradicate poverty and provide food, shelter and health-care for all? Shashi Tharoor, one of our most distinguished and insightful writers, attempts to answer these and other important questions and demystify the complex issues that have been thrown up by the ongoing transformation of the nation. After chronicling India's transformation over the years in several previous books, he brings his insights into Indian society, economics and politics up to date in wide-ranging short essays that extend the narrative right up to the present time. Lucid, brilliantly argued, balanced and illuminating, India Shastrastra is required listening for anyone who wishes to understand today's India. biacuaduc@gmail.com (Shashi Tharoor) Mon, 13 Feb 2017 04:41:53 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/India-Shastra-Audiobook/B01N5W33F6 thebookvoice.com 26:56:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/711/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

I found it to be an interesting insight into events in India as seen and experienced by a future leader of our country influencing current events. Five Stars Great read! Good reflection on Indian political history and current politics. Read it if you are interested in India I am a German, who has to travel to India frequently for business.

Title: Uninformed Subtitle: Why People Know So Little About Politics and What We Can Do About It Author: Arthur Lupia Narrator: Kevin Pariseau Format: Unabridged Length: 12 hrs and 44 mins Language: English Release date: 03-09-16 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 9 votes Genres: Nonfiction, Politics Publisher's Summary: Research polls, media interviews, and everyday conversations reveal an unsettling truth: citizens, while well-meaning and even passionate about current affairs, appear to know very little about politics. Hundreds of surveys document vast numbers of citizens answering even basic questions about government incorrectly. Given this unfortunate state of affairs, it is not surprising that more knowledgeable people often deride the public for its ignorance. Some experts even think that less informed citizens should stay out of politics altogether. As Arthur Lupia shows in Uninformed, this is not constructive. At root, critics of public ignorance fundamentally misunderstand the problem. Many experts believe that simply providing people with more facts will make them more competent voters. However, these experts fail to understand how most people learn, and hence don't really know what types of information are even relevant to voters. Feeding them information they don't find relevant does not address the problem. In other words, before educating the public, we need to educate the educators. Lupia offers not just a critique, though; he also has solutions. Drawing from a variety of areas of research on topics like attention span and political psychology, he shows how we can actually increase issue competence among voters in areas ranging from gun regulation to climate change. To attack the problem, he develops an arsenal of techniques to effectively convey to people information they actually care about. Citizens sometimes lack the knowledge that they need to make competent political choices, and it is undeniable that greater knowledge can improve decision making. But we need to understand that voters either don't care about or pay attention to much of the information that experts think is important. Uninformed provides the keys to improving political knowledge and civic competence: understanding what information is important to others and knowing how to best convey it to them. biacuaduc@gmail.com (Arthur Lupia) Wed, 09 Mar 2016 02:52:38 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/Uninformed-Audiobook/B01CPV161S thebookvoice.com 12:44:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/711/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Accurate a must read!!! This is the most accurate description of our foreign policy of the last 7 years that I've ever read. It is well written in an objective professional manner. Insightful Narrator was exhaustive. Did not enjoy listening to the dynamic of these events as they unfolded. As it all ran together perhaps it was written that way. Expected more detail and less run. God Bless all of the men and women who serve our country. It is a selfless job and often traumatic. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/An-End-to-al-Qaeda-Audiobook/B0035B6G68 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/711/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Osama Bin Laden knew the assault would provoke the U.S. to invade Afghanistan and re-stoke his jihad. Bin Laden has built a large following by perverting the teachings of Islam to justify the mass murder of innocent people. By fighting him with bullets and bombs, we have bolstered Bin Ladens recruiting efforts abroad, undermined civil liberties and economic security at home, and tarnished Americas reputation internationally. Malcolm Nance has retooled the War on Terror to show how we can eliminate Al Qaeda in less than 24 months without a single violent military action, while recreating Americas reputation as a force for good around the world.

Osama Bin Laden knew the assault would provoke the U.S. to invade Afghanistan and re-stoke his jihad. Bin Laden has built a large following by perverting the teachings of Islam to justify the mass murder of innocent people. By fighting him with bullets and bombs, we have bolstered Bin Ladens recruiting efforts abroad, undermined civil liberties and economic security at home, and tarnished Americas reputation internationally. Malcolm Nance has retooled the War on Terror to show how we can eliminate Al Qaeda in less than 24 months without a single violent military action, while recreating Americas reputation as a force for good around the world.

While the author obviously has great knowledge on the subject matter, I feel his obvious left wing political views and great admiration for President Obama were overpowering. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/The-CIA-Terrorism-and-the-Cold-War-Audiobook/B01H0TRDSA Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/711/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Conspiracy theorists dream The book was well written and well narrated. That being said it wasn't my copy of tea. I gave it all 5's because for what it is it is great. One of The fellows I work with loves this stuff and thoroughly enjoyed talking with me about it. It is very interesting and reminds Me of the history channel documentaries and such. I received this audiobook from the author narrator or publisher for free via audiobookboom in exchange for an unbiased review Quick book on how the CIA has us hoodwinked Hornberger is the founder and president of The Future of Freedom Foundation.. This book is a passionate display of how Hornberger believes JFK was killed by the CIA. Where I wish he had more quotes or references to other books he does have some compelling arguments. He points out that did we really think that Cuba would invade the USA. Would a country with such limited resources dare to take on a super power? Another point Hornberger makes is how the CIA in order to protect America does lots of things that we object to other counties doing, like kidnap, torture and/or murder. Interesting and unique historical perspective Who was your favorite character and why? The narration was great. The subject matter is complex and guides the reader into a historical path of our past. Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you? The entire book painted a conspiracy like feel into our historical past. Any additional comments?

How are they so successful so quickly? How can they be stopped? By embedding himself behind enemy lines, Hall provides a riveting narrative based on firsthand experience and personal interviews. He goes beyond the vicious jihadis to reveal a generation of chaos and uncover a volatile region engulfed in turmoil.

Members Reviews: Exciting yet profoundly sad This is a story all should hear. I had to continually jerk myself back to the knowledge that this is the news and not just a story. The book was extremely well written and the narration quite emotional, I had a hard time tearing myself away from it. Something needs to be done the author is right, if more people know about the real frightening truth,maybe something will happen. Wanting to learn more FACTS This book is incredible. This is an absolutely must read if you're wanting to learn more about the inner demons,logistics and facts of Isis. A good summary of headlines Inside ISIS is a good introduction for a new comer and will give the reader a basic grasp of the group. The book does not explore many topics in depth. Pros: - Short and readable - Author recounts his personal experiences, which adds a unique character to some passages Cons: - The book is overtly political at times. - The book is padded by in depth discussion of individual beheading victims and personal stories that don't always contribute to the reader's grasp of ISIS - The narrator over pronounces words and over emphasizes common acronyms. VBIED becomes V-B-I-E-D, which gets annoying. Kenya becomes Keen-ya. Very good overview Astonishingly accurate discribtions of affairs but fortunately details of sickening beheadings and executions were left out. Naive Republican apologetic There are some useful insights in this book but they are overshadowed by the author's blinkered commitment to US imperialism and the Republican agenda for military intervention. The author shows some awareness of the role of the Saudis and Turkey in the ISIS phenomenon but entirely fails to see that the U.S. has played any role in ISIS' creation or any role in the chaos across the Middle East. I think he's still waiting for Iraq to thank the U.S. for getting rid of their weapons of mass destruction. The author advocates ever-increasing US military involvement in the Middle East. He should stick to telling stories about activities on the ground which are enlightening https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/Miranda-v-Arizona-Audiobook/B00OZELLOQ Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/711/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

I have been pleased with his record as senator and feel we need more conservatives in office. Now, what do I think of the book? It begins with a bitter tone and Demint has nothing good to say about anybody. It picks up after a while and the history of socialism in the US is interesting. Demint tends to oversimplify many social issues and some of his logic just doesn't add up. He provides some interesting stories about himself and blends them in well with the subject matter. He references everyone from the three little pigs to Sir Thomas Aquinas. Enduring a complete retelling of the plot to It's a Wonderful Life and The Ginger Bread Man (just to name a few) is brutal. It's lazy writing and it becomes tiresome. By the time he gets to the section where he should motivate all good conservatives to take action; the book has went on much too long and lost its momentum. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/A-Funny-Thing-Happened-on-the-Way-to-the-White-House-Audiobook/B002V1NZB2 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/711/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

I have already listened to it several times, and will listen several more times. I use these book to give my brain something happy or funny to think about as I go to sleep. I use soft earphones, and it doesn't disturb husband. This one works fine. What was one of the most memorable moments of A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the White House? Who ever thought Gerald Ford could be so funny? Which scene was your favorite? Ronald Reagan's quick retorts. I didn't vote for him, and didn't like a lot of his policies, but he was quick to polk fun at an opponent--or himself: not in the angry hateful way of too many current politicians. Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? I play all the books from Audible aoll night long. Eventually, I manage to hear them all awake. Any additional comments? I'm looking for happy, funny books. This is certainly one. Don't bother Every week I looked forward to Charles Osgood's piece on the CBS Sunday Morning Show. I was expecting the same interesting stories from someone who may have had a unique access the people he talks about. Nope, its just a reiteration of stuff every one has heard already about what happened during presidential campaigns. No added value at all. Not recommended. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/Breakout-Audiobook/B00G6O1ZOO Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/711/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Our biggest enemy? Special interest groups, powerful lobbyists, and government bureaucrats who aredetermined to squash, control, or prevent these innovations - and permanently change the future of America. These are the enemies of the future - powerful forces determined to prevent the enormous benefits that American ingenuity will bring. In his groundbreaking new book, Breakout, former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich sketches America's future, brimming withpossibilities and prosperity. Despite big government regulation and taxation, despite special interest groups and lobbyists, American entrepreneurs, innovators, engineers, and scientists are still abundantly creative and productive. Gingrich describes the top technologies that promise to change theway we live and prosper, including 3D printing, driverless cars, breakthroughs in genetics and medicine, unprecedented and ever-growing Internet connectivity,and the new "app store" model of business development. Will big government, whacky extremists, and powerful lobbyists stop these innovations? They will try - with punitive taxes, stiflingregulation, and hopelessly outdated policies. Will Americans allow it? Newt Gingrich sounds the rallying cry to make sure we defeat the enemies of the future. biacuaduc@gmail.com (Newt Gingrich) Mon, 04 Nov 2013 02:47:32 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/Breakout-Audiobook/B00G6O1ZOO thebookvoice.com 07:51:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/711/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Tomorrow's Technology - here today and possibly st What did you love best about Breakout? Great examples of how our regulations (and over-regulation) is our of touch with technology and in many cases trying to preserve the status quo. Which scene was your favorite? The section on 3-D medical printing and FDA regulations was a good example. We seem to laugh at those with Intelligent Ideas This is a must Read! There are now two books I commend to the person who wants to understand Conservative principles, The first to be read is Conscience of a Conservative by the late Senator Barry Goldwater and now next Breakout By former Speaker Newt Gingrich! What did I like about the book? Everything, from changing our broken prison system, to updating our Education system, to fixing our Space Program This nation took a wrong turn in 1964 by rejecting Senator Goldwater, we made huge Mistakes by not taking seriously the candidacies of Pat Buchanan & Steve Forbes and in 2012 allowing Mit Romney to sneer at Newt Gingrich. Read Conscience Of A Conservative and ask yourself are these not the problems America faces today , then read Breakout and ask yourself are these not the practical solutions? They are! https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/The-Modern-Scholar-Audiobook/B002V8N8N0 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/711/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: The Modern Scholar Subtitle: People and the Ballot: A History of American Party Politics Author: Joshua Kaplan Narrator: Joshua Kaplan Format: Unabridged Length: 7 hrs and 18 mins Language: English Release date: 08-18-08 Publisher: Recorded Books Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 30 votes Genres: Nonfiction, Politics Publisher's Summary: The study of political parties gets straight to the heart of American politics. The story of political parties is about how we get along with one another. Political parties grew outside the Constitution and the more formal framework of government. No one planned or even wanted them. Parties developed as a response to the dream of a unified government. While parties have taken the country to the brink of violence, and beyond, they have also been vehicles for avoiding violent conflict, and for channeling disagreements. This course provides an understanding of how American politics work and can help make sense of election results and political trends. By understanding political parties, we can better understand what is going on in American politics today and in which direction American politics may be going. ©2007 Joshua Kaplan; (P)2007 Recorded Books, LLC biacuaduc@gmail.com (Joshua Kaplan) Mon, 18 Aug 2008 15:10:06 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/The-Modern-Scholar-Audiobook/B002V8N8N0 thebookvoice.com 07:18:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/711/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

I found Professor Kaplan easy to listen to. His presentation would be better if he picked up the over all tempo of his lecture. He feels the need to repeat himself more then is necessary to make a point. Overall tho, his style is very acceptable. Professor Kaplan is not an electrifying orator but don't let this stop you from buying this series. The course itself is not linear but rather is presented in topics rather then timeline format. This is understandable considering the topic. A word to the would be buyer. This course is about the history of the American political parties and not about the politicians themselves. If you want to learn more about the politicians themselves, this is not for you. ( What is funny is that Huey Long gets more discussion then Andrew Jackson and Teddy Roosevelt combined) If you however want to learn about the history of the political parties that have dotted our history, then I wholly recommend this series. Good course, but desperately needs an update Professor Kaplan is a very good lecturer, and very good at explaining his subject. however, note that the course came out in 2007. At many points throughout the lectures, his narrative is dying for a mention of Obama's elections in 2008 and 2012 (like where he is talking about how difficult it is for a democrat to win states in the South), or the 2010 Citizens United vs. FEC Supreme Court decision, which has overruled some of his points about the influence of contributions on party politics. If this were truly a "history" like the title claims, one or two lectures at the end would likely be sufficient to update it, but this is more a political science course on the influence of parties on politics than it is a history, and spends at least as much time talking about "the present" (in 2007, that is) as it does talking about history. If Professor Kaplan re-recorded this, taking modern developments into account, it could easily get a five star rating from me. As it is, a three-star rating is the best I can give it, and I can only give it a qualified recommendation, with the qualification that you'll need to supplement the knowledge you get here with some more-up-to-date resources. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/Pourquoi-la-Suisse-pratique-t-elle-le-secret-bancaire-Choses-a-savoir-Audiobook/B07439YGBC Écoutez ce livre audio dans son intégralité gratuitement sur https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/711/]]> Titre: Pourquoi la Suisse pratique-t-elle le secret bancaire ?

Title: Gun Control & The Second Amendment 2nd Edition Revised & Expanded Author: Byron Goines Narrator: Byron Goines Format: Unabridged Length: 1 hr and 1 min Language: English Release date: 03-12-13 Publisher: Byron Goines Ratings: 2.5 of 5 out of 10 votes Genres: Nonfiction, Politics Publisher's Summary: Byron Goines delivers irrefutable truth in the revised and expanded 2nd Edition of Gun Control and the Second Amendment, debunking the pro-gun facet myth of the Second Amendment being for individuals to have the right to bear arms in order to rise up against a tyrannical government. The 2nd Edition contains much more information laid out in a straightforward format that will unequivocally prove the truth about the Second Amendment and lay to rest once and for all the false Second Amendment claims made by pro-gun facets of society. Byron Goines pulls out all of the stops in this book as he delivers a rebuttal to claims commonly made by pro-gun facets of society, and as a result the 2nd Edition of Gun Control and the Second Amendment is packed with information that can be utilized to win a debate on the subject of the Second Amendment. This is a must-listen for everyone seeking to learn the truth about the Second Amendment and for those who wonder where pro-gun facets of society obtain their tyrannical government theory they attempt to utilize in order to lay individual claim to the Second Amendment. From the author: Gun control is a necessity and it is inclusive of mental health analysis prior to completing any other prerequisites to potential gun ownership. Universal background checks are a necessity. A national gun database is a necessity. Pro-gun facets of society attempted to discredit a CNN host and have him deported for speaking the truth about gun control. Why do they do these things? They do these things because they do not want the American people to know the truth about gun control including the societal benefits of it. The time is now for change. I have pulled out all of the stops in this book and I have irrefutably proven the truth about the Second Amendment concerning what pro-gun facets of society have told the American people as they have circumvented the text of the Second Amendment to conform it to their political ideologies and personal opinions instead of truth. Pro-gun facets of society have stated for years the reason for the Second Amendment is for individual citizens to have the right to bear arms in order to have the ability to fight against a tyrannical government and this is not true. After they listen to this book, they will not be able to make that claim anymore as unequivocal proof leaves no room for rebuttal. Pro-gun facets of society have been successful in indoctrinating some into their ideological mindset but they have not indoctrinated everyone, as the American people are tired of all of the horrific shootings and they expect something to be done by Congress concerning gun control immediately. biacuaduc@gmail.com (Byron Goines) Tue, 12 Mar 2013 04:28:25 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/Gun-Control-The-Second-Amendment-2nd-Edition-Revised-Expanded-Audiobook/B00BSEE7ME thebookvoice.com 01:01:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/711/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

With its intimidating vastness, many are unable to see past the stereotypical narratives of conflict and famine that surround the continent. Luckily, Dr. Tom Young, in conjunction with the Bolinda Beginner Guides, has released an easy-to-follow and gripping look at the true nature of Africa. With a sharp and engaging delivery from veteran performer Richard Aspel, this audiobook provides a great base for those looking to expand their knowledge on a region that is often misrepresented. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/Das-Kapital-im-21-Jahrhundert-Audiobook/B00RBUN8GU Hören Sie sich dieses volle Hörbuch kostenlos bei https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/711/]]> Titel: Das Kapital im 21.

Members Reviews: Creating a Just & Sustainable World through Collective Visioning Collective Visioning presents a clear and concise process of how groups can work together in a meaningful, authentic, and collaborative way to create lasting change in our communities. Weaving powerful personal stories together with detailed accounts of her experience facilitating the process of collective visioning Linda Stout shows that you can make the world a more just and sustainable place--no matter who you are and where you came from. Linda herself came grew up in extreme poverty and now leads a national movement building organization. It is through this organization, Spirit in Action, that I originally experienced the collective visioning process first hand. It was that process of bringing together a diverse group of individuals to talk about the most pressing issues of our time through the lens of education that dramatically shifted the way I conducted my work on the national education scene. If you are looking for a process by which you can collectively work towards creating a better world, you should read Collective Visioning. Offers hope that transformation of society is possible when we work together! Linda Stout offers three pillars for effective change-making in the United States and across the world: hope, vision and action. She offers practical steps and stories of success to guide, instruct and inspire. Her stories show us what is possible and also speaks to the depth and breadth of her life and work experiences. Collective Visioning lays out a process for how people can begin to develop a deep sense of community and connection. Stout articulates the importance of a shared vision for individuals and groups who are seeking to take action from a place of joy and hope--working from a positive and proactive position rather than being steeped in negativity. It is written in a very accessible way so that youth groups, as well as national organizations, can make use of the knowledge and step-by-step process imparted by Stout. I love the fact that Stout's writing is grounded in her life experiences and the work of the communities she has touched. It is authentic, practical and empowering. I highly recommend this book. Collective Visioning is a true blessing If you are reading my review, I have to say "Buy this book!" It is a must read, but it is so much more than a book. It is a road-map to the future you desire. Collective Visioning made me realize my art can become a vehicle for the betterment of my community. Linda has filled her book with many examples, diagrams and exercises that are imaginative,easy to follow and down to earth (a guide from vision to action) I just ordered 4 more copies: the perfect gift for my social change activist friends!Collective Visioning: How Groups Can Work Together for a Just and Sustainable Future (BK Currents (Paperback)) Perfect for Educators & Community Stakeholders Linda is a wonderful author! Collective Visioing for a better tomorrow! Linda Stout shows us how collective vision can be used pragmatically to make positive change in communities. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/Learning-About-Liberty-Audiobook/B002V1M6L2 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/711/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

In the Cato University Home Study Course "Learning About Liberty" you will find a wealth of insight, knowledge, and inspiration. The volume sets out, at the beginning, to define terms. This is not boring, but informative and very stimulating. Then in the following hours (which will pass quickly), ideas related to liberty and justice are outlined in a clear, concise, organized fashion. The readings is great. There is a narrator and an individual who reads the quotations as they appear. This is very helpful and keeps interest. The writing is, of course, outstanding. Don't miss this wonderful introduction to some of the most wonderful thinkers we have seen. Do not be put off by the topic, wade right in. The water is fine! Brilliant! Not only is the content fantastic (wonderful surveys of great works on freedom, free-market economics, the Constitution, etc.) but the quality of the production is first-rate. Using different, talented speakers to form a seamless tapestry of sound and thought, the producers offer a compelling and engaging course which will entertain, educate, and enlighten. A big FIVE STARS for the first audiobook I felt compelled to review. Thank you CATO and Blackstone! The Intellectual Foundations of Libertarianism This is the complete CATO University Home Study Course. It is an outstanding achievement, being a well-thought-out program of readings and commentary, focussing upon the seminal texts and their historical context. The course guide can be accessed at http://www.cato.org/university/. No matter your political stripe I was skeptical on whether this would be an accurate series on liberty, how it was put forward in this country and the obstacles that face us in the future. I believe this to be the best resource for the educated as well as the less educated for information on how governments and people create liberty. Fantastic Overview I am an adult learner becoming increasingly interested in politics, policy and historical underpinnings. This course has been a remarkable help. It is a series of audiobooks and courses that march through the history and development of libertarian political theory. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/Menace-in-Europe-Audiobook/B002V0A67E Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/711/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Fascinating Those wishing for a better understanding of some of the roots of the Sept 11, terrorist bombings, islamic fundamentalism and the changes occuring in Europe as a result of large scale immigration over the past decade will enjoy this read. It is provocative, easy to grasp, lighthearted, entertaining and well, funny at times. It is another perspective in this fast evolving world we live in. The Narrator Nadia May is superb. I am going to review others titles that she has performed. Thank-you Author Claire Berlinski.

Title: Campaign Author: David Breskin Narrator: David Breskin Format: Unabridged Length: 3 hrs and 35 mins Language: English Release date: 05-23-17 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 3 votes Genres: Nonfiction, Politics Publisher's Summary: On February 1, 2016, the date of the Iowa caucus, David Breskin began a project that would carry him through the American presidential election. An ex-journalist, Breskin set out to "cover" this most strange and historic election, under the pressure of a reporter's daily deadline, by writing one poem a day. He created a deliberately awkward, rollickingly restrictive form - seven beats per line, 11 lines per poem - and, noting our preference for the convenience of sound-bite news and junk-food polls over more nutritious fare, called them "7-11s". The result is Campaign, a fierce, prescient, oddly moving and scathingly funny book. No one is spared (not Ted, not Marco, not Carly, not Hillary nor Bernie nor The Donald, not the Pope nor Scalia nor even Jeb!) as Breskin shines a searching light on the hubris and folly of our would-be leaders. Yet he also captures what is fine about America and Americans, even under siege. "Smashed glass of freedom, a toast / for this sad ballad country / that orphans its immigrants." Campaign is a record of the election unfolding in real time: its distractions and psychodramas laid bare, its bit-part players of single news cycles recycled, the silliness of its silly season skewered. All the while, the drumbeat of essential issues sounds throughout these 77 beat poems, reminding us what was - and remains - at stake.

Gandhi adapta Unto this last en gujarati en 1908 sous le nom de Sarvodaya (le bien-être de chacun). C'est aussi le nom qu'il donna à sa philosophie. Valji Govindji Desai traduisit cette adaptation en anglais en 1951 sous le titre Unto this last, une paraphrase de John Ruskin.

Performing old favorites such as "To be of use," "For strong women," and "The low road;" as well as new ones including "No one came home," an elegy for 9/11, "Choices," about the occupation of Iraq, and "Sneak and Peek," her hilarious response to the Patriot Act, Piercy delivers 26 poems that give voice to our outrage, our passion, our utter disbelief and desire for peace.

Title: The Iraq War Author: John Keegan Narrator: Simon Vance Format: Unabridged Length: 8 hrs and 10 mins Language: English Release date: 09-30-04 Publisher: Blackstone Audio, Inc. Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 84 votes Genres: Nonfiction, Politics Publisher's Summary: John Keegan, whom the New York Review of Books calls "the best historian of our day", now brings his extraordinary expertise to bear on perhaps the most controversial war of our time. In exclusive interviews with Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld and General Tommy Franks, John Keegan has gathered information about the war that adds immeasurably to our grasp of its causes, complications, costs, and consequences. Keegan probes the reasons for the invasion; he delineates the strategy of the American and British forces in capturing Baghdad; he examines the quick victory over the Republican Guard and the more tenacious and deadly opposition that has taken its place. He analyzes the intelligence information with which the Bush and Blair administrations convinced their respective governments of the need to go to war and which has since been strongly challenged in both countries. And he makes clear that despite the uncertainty about weapons of mass destruction, regime change, and the use and misuse of intelligence, the war in Iraq is an undeniably formidable display of American power. The Iraq War is authoritative, timely, and vitally important to our understanding of a conflict whose ramifications are as yet unknown.

Critic Reviews: "Essential reading for understanding the ongoing conflict." (Booklist) Members Reviews: A Solid, Quick Overview This was a nice, brief overview of what has transpired so far in the Battle of Iraq. It starts with a general review of the middle-eastern region, not too detailed but a bit tedious nonetheless trying to follow who took over and was then killed by whom and so on and on; then it goes into a not too detailed personal history of the big dirtbag himself, Saddam Hussein (who revered Stalin), and his path of thuggery and murder, and ultimate grabbing of power. Then the battle itself is related, all the way into Baghdad, and how this campaign differed from the Gulf War of 1991. Schwarzkopf is compared to Franks. A couple of events after that point are discussed, e.g. the British scientist-scholar who ultimately committed suicide after revealing that he had "sexed up" some intelligence reports. Since you're probably wondering: Keegan makes it clear that he supports the war, though if I recall correctly, not until the end of the book, so the bulk of the book is not explicitly pro-war, it's just a chronological recounting of events. A full account It is tough to confidently take a solid stance recent developments if you aren't certain of all the details. This book helped me fill in all the gaps in my learning of the events that lead us to where we are today, from the Ottoman Empire to Saddam Hussein. This is not an opinion book but one of facts; facts crucial in understanding current events. Very good A great read of the Iraq War from a British perspective. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/Quarterly-Essay-51-The-Prince-Faith-Abuse-George-Pell-Audiobook/B00FGDDCB0 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/711/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Would you listen to Quarterly Essay 51: The Prince: Faith, Abuse & George Pell again? Why? I have already listened to it a few times and could do so again. There is a great deal to ponder on in this slim but beautifully written and expertly researched volume. What did you like best about this story? It's been thoroughly researched and intelligently crafted. It made me very angry but I expected that. It was very illuminating to read. I now have a much better grasp of the extent of the Catholic Church's criminal indifference to the sex abuse scandal that has decimated their church. Pell was instrumental in helping to orchestrate the church's policy in this regard. His arrogance, narcissism and straight out callousness when it came to the children who were suffering is particularly galling. If you made a film of this book, what would be the tag line be? A Dark Priest. Any additional comments? Brilliant stuff from the wonderful David Marr. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/The-Liberals-Guide-to-Conservatives-Audiobook/B01NBA711A Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/711/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Liberlas are the good guys and conservatives are the bad guys. Liberals with an ax to grind will love this book. The author adds a mercurial element to an already exceedingly combustible brew between liberals and conservatives. This is a good read for liberals to help pump up their egos. He writes the book in terms using "we" as the liberals and "them" as the conservatives. Just a little bias in promotion. It's confusing when he uses the words "our" and "we" as to whether he is talking about liberals or people in general. J. Scott Wagner talks about the importance of using neutral language but doesn't follow this simple suggestion. He says he wants to help liberals understand conservatives but it is more like dislike them. He certainly doesn't use neutral language in describing conservatives. He speaks from personal experiences but they are extremely one-sided. He says that his research is to not put people in boxes and label them but rather to use extremely powerful modern statistics to help you deal with conservatives (p. xii, introduction). And then he says, "Beating conservatives is a good goal." Although he claims to use research and modern statistics, it is obvious that he relies extensively on interviews and anecdotal evidence, not objective studies, to arrive at his conclusions about conservatives. He says "conservatives are very susceptible to the authority bias" but fails to provide references. He makes a lot of opinionated statements that are not backed up by scientific evidence like he proposes to do. According to Wagner liberals have great sympathy for victims when it comes o police brutality, homelessness, and unequal pay. If this is so then I ask the question why don't they see unborn babies as victims when it comes to abortion? Just asking. He also says liberals have a higher IQ but fails to provide evidence (reference) to that statement. Wagner expresses a lot of his own biases and personal experiences about conservatives to point out their inadequacies and calls it "research." He talks about being objective but fails to follow his own rhetoric. He speaks of not enemyfying others but he either consciously or unconsciously does exactly that throughout the book. The title of this book should be How to Confront and Win Over Conservatives. The author could have pointed out all of the "authority biases" and "confirmation biases" that liberals do to help bring home the fact that they too are prone to such biases but he doesn't. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/Goodbye-Europe-Audiobook/B077DD4T9P Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/711/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: A very positive challenge The mark of a very good book - when my views on some of the issues are very different from those of author; yet I found myself in agreement with almost all of her suggested solutions. It's hard to imagine a world where can all have different beliefs and values but yet all happily and peaceful coexist. But Ms Carno does make this world seem possible. I hope she is right, but also realize it is all our own individual responsibility to make it happen. Very inspiring and worthwhile read. Laura Carno has written an excellent book on choice verses government control Clear, concise and cogent. Laura Carno has written an excellent book on choice verses government control. She reminds the reader of the proper role of government which is to protect our rights, mediate disputes, and defend the nation. period. Not afraid to confront the "Firework" issues of Abortion, Guns, Schools and Same-Sex marriage, Carno shares stories and insights, with many solutions to these hot button issues. A good primer for those who want a better understanding of how to reclaim social issues from government control and let the free market of ideas and interactions work. A good discussion book for a book club. This is a terrific book. Well written and filled with great information This is a terrific book. Well written and filled with great information. You should read this whether you are conservative or liberal as it will help you understand what happens if you dont stand up an be counted. Her intro left me a little apprehensive because I was ... Her intro left me a little apprehensive because I was looking for a hard hitting read and the forward seemed a little 'soft'. Rest assured, once Laura starts the book in chapter 1 any doubts you may have about her ability to lay down the facts in a very unique and strong style will be dispelled. On a side note; I get a kick out of Laura occasionally letting the reader know, 'If you think or believe this way or that, lay the book down and walk away- it's not for you'! Such a great read! Laura writes in a simple but powerful ... Such a great read! Laura writes in a simple but powerful format. She gives examples that are realistic and obvious- give you the "why didn't I think if that moment" throughout the entire book. She makes a powerful case for the free-market cure to a government sick country! It is a quick but AMAZING read! https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/Freedom-or-Serfdom-Audiobook/B01DJLF6KA Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/711/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: Freedom or Serfdom? Subtitle: The Case for Limited, Constitutional Government and Against Statism Author: Hal Lillywhite Narrator: Hal Lillywhite Format: Unabridged Length: 9 hrs and 55 mins Language: English Release date: 03-29-16 Publisher: ACX Genres: Nonfiction, Politics Publisher's Summary: The issue is freedom: The liberty our founders gave us, or an increasingly intrusive government. If we give up our freedom, what will that do to our lives and our economy? This book presents what is undoubtedly the most comprehensive case for freedom and against statism available today. Every citizen should listen to it. Statism is the belief that government should control our lives. It is manifest in socialism, communism, dictatorship, and simple unlimited government. It is the opposite of freedom. Statism assumes that our leaders will be wise and moral enough to do what is best. In practice, those leaders are neither wiser nor more moral than the average citizen. Statism assumes that the central planner can decide more wisely than can the person on the scene. In practice, one-size-fits-all regulations really fit nowhere. Statism assumes that government functionaries can effectively manage the entire economy. In practice, that economy is so complex that effective central management is impossible. Statism constructs wonderful theories and applies them to the people, be those people in agreement or not. In practice, those theories make shipwreck on the rocks of reality - but statists ignore that and insist that their theories are still good. This book is a manual for supporting liberty and fighting creeping statism.

Members Reviews: Freedom or Serfdom Review Book Review Title: Freedom or Serfdom? The Case for Limited, Constitutional Government and Against Statism Author: Hal Lillywhite Genre: Non-fiction/Politics Rating: **** Review: In the opening of Freedom or Serfdom Lillywhite discusses the intentions, actions and results of Government. The serfdom which Lillywhite mentions is The Road to Serfdom which was a book written between 1940 and 1943 by Austrian British economist and philosopher Friedrich von Hayek, in which he "[warns] of the danger of tyranny that inevitably results from government control of economic decision-making through central planning." To define serfdom: [The] condition in medieval Europe in which a tenant farmer was bound to a hereditary plot of land and to the will of his landlord. A proportion of the grain the serf grew on his holding had to be given to his lord. The lord could also compel the serf to cultivate that portion of the lordâs land that was not held by other tenants (called demesne land). The serf also had to use his lordâs grain mills and no others. Giving the illusion of freedom while being held in chains. As we approach the 1/4 mark in the book Lillywhite move onto the topic of information immunity. When Lillywhite talks about this he mentions that there is a unquestioned and unquestionable belief that government power is good, that we must trust government and reject constitutional limitations on that government. We must ask them appropriate questions and provide well-documented information to counteract the statist claims. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/Agenda-21-an-Analysis-Audiobook/B00MV0OCME Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/711/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: Agenda 21, an Analysis Subtitle: The UN Global Program for Sustainable Development Author: Julian Chitta Narrator: Ruth Golding Format: Unabridged Length: 3 hrs and 5 mins Language: English Release date: 08-20-14 Publisher: Julian Chitta Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 8 votes Genres: Nonfiction, Politics Publisher's Summary: This is a short but comprehensive analysis of the UN's controversial program established in 1992 as a "sustainable development plan" for the entire world, for the 21st century. Its main points are coincidental to the "Communist Manifesto", issued by Karl Marx in 1848. It includes the abolition of all private property, banning inheritances, reducing the population, and the transfer of all resources into the hands of UN bureaucrats. The author analyzes every single section of the Agenda 21 Act, as published by UN, and quotes several foreign journalists that were present at the Rio de Janeiro summit, where some 96 heads of state approved the plan, hoping to obtain large amounts of money to implement it in their own countries, something that never materialized. It is apparent that the USA has been selected as the proving ground for this UN power grab. The last four administrations embarked wholeheartedly on the path to subvert American sovereignty to the idea of total UN control, in order to establish the one-world, one-currency government, so dear to the authors of the Agenda 21 Act. This audiobook presents all the data that was made available for public consumption, quoting some foreign sources who agree that a great deal of material was not published by UN, as either too controversial or confidential. One of the main goals, that of reducing the availability of consumer goods and energy "to save the planet", is analyzed from several angles. Evidently, the aim of the Agenda 21 Act is to reduce the standard of living in all the industrialized nations, in revenge, or as a punishment for the colonial sins of the past. The author does not draw any conclusions as to the degree of harmfulness of the Agenda 21 Act, living the listener to come with his or her own evaluation. biacuaduc@gmail.com (Julian Chitta) Wed, 20 Aug 2014 06:18:21 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/Agenda-21-an-Analysis-Audiobook/B00MV0OCME thebookvoice.com 03:05:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/711/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Bombshell This information should be common knowledge to everyone in the world and most particularly to everyone in the United States. Great source of additional information on Agenda 21 This book entails many aspects of agenda 21 that no one else is covering. The author Julian, takes you through Agenda 21 as if you have no prior knowledge of it (which is great since so little do). This is a thorough in depth look at the good and bass of agenda 21 as well as being well sourced. The author does not make claims that are not sourced with good information. If your a beginner to the study of Agenda 21 and its totalitarian paths than this is a great book to start with. Very well informed, golden revision knowledge Where does Agenda 21, an Analysis rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far? I am a geography student and learn a lot about this subject. It is the best interms of my course content, but i prefur the experts themselves narrating. What did you like best about this story? why countries (developing and industrial) are reluctant to take up policies on agenda 21 What about Ruth Goldings performance did you like? at first, I struggled to listen because of the constant "quote" "end quote" but her voice grew on me. I now like her Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? yes this was a one sitting book, and defiantly one i would recommend to my classmates. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/Black-Belt-Patriotism-Audiobook/B002VAA8QS Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/711/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

This book was clearly researched only to find support for the authors arguments. It fails to address opposing arguments or to find any common ground. The book is intellectually dishonest and is often contradictory. While the author claims to espouse liberty he clearly would take away any liberties you posses that he doesn't agree with. Has Black Belt Patriotism turned you off from other books in this genre? No. However, this book could have been more honestly titled "Black Belt Patriotism: How to Reawaken America with Christian Values." What about Alan Sklars performance did you like? The performance of Alan Sklar was outstanding and the only thing that kept me listening to the audiobook. If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from Black Belt Patriotism? I would have never published this book. Any additional comments? Chuck Norris is clearly a very devout Christian and passionate about his faith. Instead of offering just the problems with America he also offers solutions. However, if you are a believer in the separation of church and state avoid this audiobook. I often had the opening scenes from "Escape from L.A." in mind while listening to this book. I've been a fan of Chuck Norris for years because of his martial arts accomplishments, and was very curious of what his political philosophy would be, but this book is a perfect example of why you should "stick to what you're good at." https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/Resume-La-nouvelle-societe-cout-marginal-zero-de-Jeremy-Rifkin-Audiobook/B01K7XP2YI Écoutez ce livre audio dans son intégralité gratuitement sur https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/711/]]> Titre: Résumé : La nouvelle société coût marginal zéro de Jeremy Rifkin Auteur: Constance de Ayala Narrateur: François Montagut Format: Unabridged Durée: 29 mins Langue: Français Date de publication: 08-16-16 Éditeur: Koober Evaluation: 5 sur 5 sur 1 votes Genres: Nonfiction, Politics Résumé de l'éditeur: En lisant ce résumé, vous découvrirez que le capitalisme agonise et que nous entrons dans une ère économique nouvelle, fondée sur l'abondance de biens, l'entraide et le partage.

À la place du capital financier, s'impose le capital social à travers une économie où l'accès aux services prime sur la propriété, où les communaux collaboratifs - coopératives, crowdfunding, petits producteurs d'énergie verte, soit des millions de structures organisées collectivement - gèrent les ressources et les besoins collectifs. Cette révolution rend obsolètes les valeurs du capitalisme et de l'économie de marché qui structurent depuis deux siècles la société. La question est maintenant de comprendre comment s'organise une économie devenue intelligente et collaborative.

Members Reviews: Excellent example of Rushdie, do not take to gym. This is an excellent collection, you are correct about that. But it is *not* a good book to take to the gym with you. Even though the criticisms and essays are short, they require a bit of thought while reading. So you can't really pick it up and put it down while trying to run on a treadmill or likewise. I do recommend this book if you would like to get a feel for Rushdie and don't want to take on a full novel. I also recommend, "The Wizard of Oz (Bfi Film Classics) (Paperback)". It is a critique he wrote for Bfi and it's a fast read. Five Stars This is a beautifully written, thoughtful collection of essays. Five Stars There are several brilliant essays in this book and it's well worth the time Two Stars Great work, but terrible print quality in this edition. Enlightening essays from colonialism to fatwa I am not sure when, or where, I found my copy of this book. I do not know how long it sat, ignored, on my bookshelf. What I do know is, when I needed it, it was there, and literally fell into my hands. Of course, I knew of Mr. Rushdie, but had never read anything by him. My education has begun. Most of these 75 or so essays are short, some just a couple of pages, but all of them require thought while reading them, and several require thought after reading them; at least for me. As one reviewer noted, this is not a book to take to the gym. His insights on colonialism are fascinating. His insights on the Ghandis, Pakistan, cultures I knew little-to-nothing about were spell-binding. The articles about contemporary authors were not only interesting, but often humorous, and always enlightening. But the articles in the last section were, for me, the most eye-opening. These were the ones where he discussed the fatwa against him, what he meant when he wrote The Satanic Verses, and the duplicity of the imams even when they agreed with him, shook his hand, said they would help reverse the fatwa, and didn't. What is a human life worth? What is a man's word worth? What is a friend worth? The writing in these essays is often lyrical. It is always clear, and easily read and understood. I highly recommend this book for anyone with a curiosity about how our world, and those who inhabit it, think and work. Beautiful writing, and I can hardly wait for my copy of Step Across This Line... to arrive. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/Guide-to-Richard-Haasss-A-World-in-Disarray-Audiobook/B06XDSDHD7 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/711/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: This book is even better than the TV show The TV show (3 parts) is an excellent production but this book really takes you behind the scenes of producing this show. One thing you need to remember is that Kevin Rudd and Julia Gillard are people. They make mistakes, they have agendas and see things differently. Sarah Ferguson is an excellent journalist but a little flat narrating this production. Still, this is worth listening to. A good political thriller. Best book I have read in a long time Riveting and well written - wonderful narration by Sarah Ferguson. A tale of high drama and betrayal. Excellent! I enjoyed every listening minute. Sarah Ferguson is a brilliant storyteller. Who would ever have thought such a subject could be so riveting. Brilliant I can't speak highly enough of this work. Who would have thought that a reading of a book about the making of a television series could be so compelling? Sarah Ferguson's narration in particular was breathtakingly good. She evoked so well the sadness and waste of the squandered promise of two wonderful Labor leaders. Essential History of Australian Politics. For those who want to understand the Labor leadership in Australia from 2007 through to 2013 better. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/Summary-Hillarys-America-Audiobook/B01LY19NWF Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/711/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: Summary: Hillary's America Author: Book Summary Narrator: Kelly Rhodes Format: Unabridged Length: 1 hr and 13 mins Language: English Release date: 09-30-16 Publisher: Book Summary Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 2 votes Genres: Nonfiction, Politics Publisher's Summary: A look at the ongoing elections paints a very different picture from the truth. What many don't know is that the media's obsession with Donald Trump is a well-crafted scheme by the Democrats to maintain focus away from them. This may seem like an outrageous claim at first but it will become clear as you continue to listen to this audio book. One way of ensuring that people don't start questioning Hillary Clinton's achievements and the people destroyed by her ways, is keeping the spotlight away from her as much as possible. The Democrats wish to maintain the picture they have painted of Hillary as a people's champion intact. But looking at her trail since she got into politics, a very different picture comes into view of this very woman. Hillary Clinton however is not the only culprit of hiding her true self from the public to gain votes; she is just one example. The Democratic Party candidates from Obama to Bill all through to their founders have the same characteristics of twisting the truth to suit their dubious ways. Contrary to what Progressives claim, it was them that supported slavery so as to get free labor and the Republicans are the heroes of Civil Rights. This is just one of the many pieces of history that they have corrupted to earn votes. From corruption, protecting criminals in court, pardoning criminals in jail and blaming victims - the Clintons have done it all. But due to the heavy investments of the Democratic Party in the media the truth is often swept under the rug and the Democratic criminal walks away. The public is then fed a lie and their tyranny continues. The Democratic Party's past upon scrutiny is also filled with similar stories. While Progressives argue that the sins of their founders cannot be blamed on the current party, the Clintons continue with their tricks stealing from third world countries, overthrowing foreign governments all in the name of enriching themselves while thousands die and others are displaced. These are just a few examples of the many more evils discussed in the following chapters on the ways of the Democrats. The author later on looks at why the Republicans have not respond effectively to the Democrats and what they can do to beat them in the coming elections. ©2016 Book Summary (P)2016 Book Summary biacuaduc@gmail.com (Book Summary) Fri, 30 Sep 2016 13:28:03 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/Summary-Hillarys-America-Audiobook/B01LY19NWF thebookvoice.com 01:13:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/711/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Ongoing elections in The United States are interesting for the entire world. Naturally, these battles in the media, especially on TV, raise political temperature in society. I think, this book will add one more degree to it. I donât want to reveal my point of view in this issue is. Each voter has to choose his side by himself. Only one thing I will say: all people have their rights to obtain as much information as they want. And this book is another source of such info. It claims that all Democrats and the Democratic Party on the whole are liars from the very beginning, and their current candidate particularly. Most likely, youâll read it with interest. But make your conclusions on your own. Five Stars Very good book, I like it very much. Five Stars Very enlightening! Five Stars Great Hilary is wrong for america. When life was young and work was hard and money was scares, my life had no time for politics. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/In-the-Skin-of-a-Jihadist-Inside-Islamic-States-Recruitment-Networks-Audiobook/B00XZH8H6Y Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/711/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Good read, didn't put it down for long. A great insight into the frightening and rapidly growing threat to our society. Well written and in a way that made you feel the emotions that the journalist must have experienced. Repetitive I found many chapters in this book very repetitive, I cannot see what was gained by the authors contact with the ISIS fighter, and how her experience would help other young women interested in Jihadis. The book was not informative, it did not give any input as to why young western women would want to get involved with strange men in distant countries. Listened to this audio book but was tempted at times to ditch it. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/American-Underdog-Audiobook/B01H4EA3GU Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/711/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: American Underdog Subtitle: Proof That Principles Matter Author: David Brat Narrator: Jim Meskimen Format: Unabridged Length: 7 hrs and 24 mins Language: English Release date: 06-28-16 Publisher: Hachette Audio Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 8 votes Genres: Nonfiction, Politics Publisher's Summary: From David Brat, the college professor who made political headlines when he unseated Majority Leader Eric Cantor, comes his plan for restoring fiscal liberty for America. Congressman David Brat's odds-defying win against Eric Cantor - a triumph of a modest $200,000 campaign fund against a $5 million war chest - immediately brought David Brat, heretofore a liberal arts college economics professor, into the political limelight. Now, in his first book, American Underdog, Brat examines how we brought down the status quo by tapping in to moral and economic lessons as old as our civilization and discusses how Washington can learn from history instead of ignoring it. A fighter for children, he illuminates how our current fiscal policies are selling their future and outlines new ways to move forward with a conservative agenda that provides fairer treatment for all.

Members Reviews: An Underdog Shows Winning Way Forward Terrific book. Very informative. Gets to the heart of the Federal Government's budgetary problems, calling them moral ones, rather than economic or financial. Dave is an unusual politician, just the type we need in DC. All of that "Tea Party" nonsense they and the Freedom Caucus get tagged with is ridiculous. These are just regular Americans applying the principles we were founded on, principles that are just as good today as they were then, except better because we have so much more experience and data proving them to be true. Such used to be moderate and quite common, "common sense." That fact that it isn't today in the U.S. shows just how lost we are now!! You will get a fun moral education by reading this. Thank you, Dave Brat! Got the book just in time to get the author ... Got the book just in time to get the author to sign it for me. Have just started reading it. Five Stars Great book by a patriotic American! Dave Brat is a great guy. I have heard him speak many times ... Dave Brat is a great guy. I have heard him speak many times on the radio, and always enjoy it. He has a perfect voting record in defense of the American people. Dave shares great history and many facts of the corruption of our political class who now think of themselves as our ruling class. This is a great read, highly recommended! A strong free marketer, Brat nevertheless shows ethical and scholarly sides that help explain his stunning victory over Cantor Open-minded readers of this book can get insight into how Congressman Dave Brat, of Virginiaâs 7th District, could have defeated House Majority Leader, Eric Cantor in the 2014 Republican primary election. It was a stunning and unprecedented upset when Brat, with a budget of $200,000, overcame Cantorâs $5 million. Regardless of whether youâre Democratic or Republican in political leanings, I suggest that the Introduction to Bratâs book reveals an unusual political candidate: âI hope the voter will conclude that I was motivated by more than a desire for power or fame when I ran for office.â âJust as I would expect to have people challenge my ideas boldly and firmly, I will do the same. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/Packing-the-Court-Audiobook/B002V8MMP0 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/711/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: Packing the Court Subtitle: The Rise of Judicial Power and the Coming Crisis of the Supreme Court Author: James MacGregor Burns Narrator: Norman Dietz Format: Unabridged Length: 9 hrs and 49 mins Language: English Release date: 06-25-09 Publisher: Tantor Audio Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 13 votes Genres: Nonfiction, Politics Publisher's Summary: Much as we would like to believe that the Court remains aloof from ideological politics, Packing the Court reveals how often justices behave like politicians in robes. Few Americans appreciate that the framers of the Constitution envisioned a much more limited role for the Supreme Court than it has come to occupy. In keeping with the founders' desire for balanced government, the Constitution does not grant the Supreme Court the power of judicial review---that is, the ability to veto acts of Congress and the president. Yet throughout its history, as Packing the Court details, the Supreme Court has blocked congressional laws and, as a result, often derailed progressive reform. The term packing the court is usually applied to FDR's failed attempt to expand the size of the Court after a conservative bench repeatedly overturned key elements of the New Deal. But Burns shows that FDR was not the only president to confront a high court that seemed bent on fighting popular mandates for change, nor was he the only one to try to manipulate the bench for political ends. Many of our most effective leaders---from Jefferson to Jackson, Lincoln to FDR---have clashed with powerful justices who refused to recognize the claims of popularly elected majorities. Editorial Reviews: Most U.S. citizens of the 21st century take for granted that the Supreme Court will decide the most divisive issues of our day - but this is not what the Constitution's framers had in mind when they wrote that document. The author's argument is that the Court has become too partisan and has misused it power to overturn state and national legislation. Narrator Norman Dietz has a deep, assured voice that lends authority and gravitas to the work. His tone and pacing make it easy to follow the constitutional arguments, and he pauses at crucial intervals to allow listeners to consider Burns's ideas. At times, he sounds like a professor at the lectern, but he's an interesting professor who demands our attention. biacuaduc@gmail.com (James MacGregor Burns) Thu, 25 Jun 2009 23:53:13 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/Packing-the-Court-Audiobook/B002V8MMP0 thebookvoice.com 09:49:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/711/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: The Supreme Court Through the Eyes of the Far Left Burns' book is well researched and full of good information. However, it is tainted by an extremist perspective that essentially advocates for the emasculation of the Supreme Court and the U.S. Constitution. It leaves out much. I wouldn't recommend for those who have not read other current works on the Constitution and the Constitutional Convention. Burns advocates that the Supreme Court is a power that works against the radical reengineering of the United States government. His extreme and offensive perspective convinced me that we need these voices from the bench. I'll vote against Burns' views any day. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/Our-Divided-Political-Heart-Audiobook/B008BV9KXI Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/711/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: Our Divided Political Heart Subtitle: The Battle for the American Idea in an Age of Discontent Author: E. J. Dionne Narrator: Michael Kramer Format: Unabridged Length: 11 hrs and 4 mins Language: English Release date: 06-25-12 Publisher: Tantor Audio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 39 votes Genres: Nonfiction, Politics Publisher's Summary: Our Divided Political Heart will be the must-listen book of the 2012 election campaign. Offering an incisive analysis of how hyper-individualism is poisoning the nation's political atmosphere, E. J. Dionne Jr. argues that Americans can't agree on who we are because we can't agree on who we've been, or what it is, philosophically and spiritually, that makes us Americans. Dionne takes on the Tea Party's distortions of American history and shows that the true American tradition points not to radical individualism, but to a balance between our love of individualism and our devotion to community. Dionne offers both a fascinating tour of American history - from the Founding Fathers to Clay and Lincoln and on to the Populists, the Progressives, and the New Dealers - and also an analysis of our current politics that shatters conventional wisdom. The true American idea, far from endorsing government inaction or indifference, has always viewed the federal government as an active and constructive partner with the rest of society in promoting prosperity, opportunity, and American greatness. The ability of the American system to self-correct is its greatest asset, and Dionne challenges progressives to embrace the American story. Our fractious but productive past offers us the resources both to rediscover the idea of progress and to put an end to our fears of decline. Our Divided Political Heart will be required listening for all who seek a path out of our current impasse. Critic Reviews: "Tea Partiers and Occupiers alike may be surprised and enlightened by this lucid analysis, all the more convincing for its sympathetic treatment of both sides of the argument."

(Publishers Weekly) Members Reviews: Good points and lots of good information Where does Our Divided Political Heart rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far? This book was full of information and insights which I found to be very interesting. That said, I am a huge early-American political thought nerd, and others might have found this level of detail and intricacy a bit difficult to grasp or at least be overwhelmed by all the little details that go into making what is a very nuanced argument. It might have been presented more concisely, but I like the book, I agree with the bulk of the author's insights and thought he explained it well and thoroughly and it was very well-thought-out. Great Review of U.S. Political History and Thought E.J. Dionne writes in a clear, unadorned style. He presents a broad picture of all strains of American political theory. His analysis is fair but firm. The narrator's voice and tone matched the content. Steady and strong. Light and conversational when he needed it. Narrator adds too much gravity EJ Dionne regularly appears on talk radio. He has buoyancy and positive humor in his voice. This narrator was a little too grave. EJ allowed me to understand MY POLITICAL HEART Book was great. I cant wait for next book to become available on listen too. A subject this dry could not have been done better As much as I love to expand my brain by listening to books like this, I find most of them so boring I can't seem to focus long enough to learn anything. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/The-Outrage-Industry-Audiobook/B00KV3KYWU Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/711/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: The Outrage Industry Subtitle: Political Opinion Media and the New Incivility Author: Jeffrey M. Berry, Sarah Sobieraj Narrator: Kaleo Griffith Format: Unabridged Length: 9 hrs and 53 mins Language: English Release date: 06-10-14 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 9 votes Genres: Nonfiction, Politics Publisher's Summary: In early 2012, conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh claimed that Sandra Fluke, a Georgetown University law student who advocated for insurance coverage of contraceptives, "wants to be paid to have sex." Over the next few days, Limbaugh attacked Fluke personally, often in crude terms, while a powerful backlash grew. But perhaps what was most notable about the incident was that it wasn't unusual. From Limbaugh's venomous attacks on Fluke to liberal radio host Mike Malloy's suggestion that Bill O'Reilly "drink a vat of poison... and choke to death", over-the-top discourse in today's political opinion media is pervasive. Anyone who observes the skyrocketing number of incendiary political opinion shows on television and radio might conclude that political vitriol on the airwaves is fueled by the increasingly partisan American political system. But in The Outrage Industry Jeffrey M. Berry and Sarah Sobieraj show how the proliferation of outrage says more about regulatory, technological, and cultural changes, than it does about our political inclinations. Berry and Sobieraj tackle the mechanics of outrage rhetoric, exploring its various forms, such as mockery, emotional display, fear mongering, audience flattery, and conspiracy theories. They then investigate the impact of outrage rhetoric on a contemporary political landscape that features frequent straight-party voting in Congress. Outrage tactics have also facilitated the growth of the Tea Party, a movement which appeals to older, white conservatives and has dragged the GOP farther away from the demographically significant moderates whose favor it should be courting. Finally, The Outrage Industry examines how these shows sour our own political lives. Drawing from a rich base of evidence, this book forces all of us to consider the negative consequences that flow from our increasingly hyper-partisan political media. biacuaduc@gmail.com (Jeffrey M.

From Limbaugh's venomous attacks on Fluke to liberal radio host Mike Malloy's suggestion that Bill O'Reilly "drink a vat of poison... and choke to death", over-the-top discourse in today's political opinion media is pervasive. Anyone who observes the skyrocketing number of incendiary political opinion shows on television and radio might conclude that political vitriol on the airwaves is fueled by the increasingly partisan American political system. But in The Outrage Industry Jeffrey M. Berry and Sarah Sobieraj show how the proliferation of outrage says more about regulatory, technological, and cultural changes, than it does about our political inclinations. Berry and Sobieraj tackle the mechanics of outrage rhetoric, exploring its various forms, such as mockery, emotional display, fear mongering, audience flattery, and conspiracy theories. They then investigate the impact of outrage rhetoric on a contemporary political landscape that features frequent straight-party voting in Congress. Outrage tactics have also facilitated the growth of the Tea Party, a movement which appeals to older, white conservatives and has dragged the GOP farther away from the demographically significant moderates whose favor it should be courting. Finally, The Outrage Industry examines how these shows sour our own political lives. Drawing from a rich base of evidence, this book forces all of us to consider the negative consequences that flow from our increasingly hyper-partisan political media. Members Reviews: Lots of interest, lots not Overall, some good analysis and info, and worth the read. However, it reads like an unedited research paper. I found myself alternating between interest and boredom. The authors should abridge the text and leave out, for example, minute descriptions of their process and references to other chapters. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/Secret-Weapon-Audiobook/B0077D1M14 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/711/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: Secret Weapon Subtitle: How Economic Terrorism Brought Down the U.S. Stock Market and Why It Can Happen Again Author: Kevin Freeman Narrator: Tom Weiner Format: Unabridged Length: 7 hrs and 46 mins Language: English Release date: 02-10-12 Publisher: Blackstone Audio, Inc. Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 23 votes Genres: Nonfiction, Politics Publisher's Summary: Whos really to blame for Americas catastrophic financial meltdown and devastating national recession? Contrary to what the Occupy Movement might tell you, its not greedy Wall Street executives. No, as one of Americas top financial professionals reveals in this shocking book, the real culprit is economic warfare, with our foreign enemies exploiting our lurking financial weaknesses. In Secret Weapon, Kevin Freeman unveils how all the evidence - including motive, means, and opportunity - points to Americas foreign enemies deliberately pushing our economy over the brink. In this stunning exposé, Freeman reveals: In Secret Weapon youll learn what our enemies know and what the Obama administration has chosen to ignore - that our financial system is profoundly vulnerable to financial terrorism and that we are being targeted for further and even more destructive attacks by our enemies, who want to cripple Americas position as the worlds leading economy. If you want to protect yourself and protect our country, then you need to read Secret Weapon to understand how we have entered a new age of warfare - an age our enemies want to make the Dark Ages of the United States. Critic Reviews: Freeman explains persuasively and clearly why we may be beginning the third act of a monetary and fiscal tragedy. You dont care about dark pools, huge Middle-Eastern sovereign wealth funds, naked short selling, and bear runs? Im afraid you will, and rather soon. (R. James Woolsey, chairman of the Foundation for Defense of Democracies and former director of Central Intelligence) Every American needs to understand how our financial markets have been manipulated by people who want to destroy the nation and how they can do even greater damage in the future. This book is a critical read for everyone. (William G. Boykin, Lt. Gen. USA (ret), former commander of US Army Special Forces and founding member of Delta Force) Kevin Freemans alarming proposition on economic warfare merits attention from those at the highest levels entrusted with our nations security. It is incumbent on the US intelligence and defense community, financial regulators, and those with advanced financial acumen to assess and address this modern security vulnerability. Warfare continues to evolve. As the United States remains vigilant against emerging threats, we must appreciate newfound challenges to longstanding assumptions about how our enemies could exploit our financial markets with potentially devastating consequences for our nation.

(Sunday Times) Members Reviews: Entertaining, interesting Any additional comments? Antonia Fraser, one of the great historians & biographers on the British scene. I have read a number of her books before but this may be the first one I've listened to. The book is very well written and narrated. It is a slice of history book, centered around the reform crisis of the 1830s. A mix of political history, constitutional (British) history, and straight old narrative history of the time. Fraser effectively portrays what was going on, focusing on the main personalities involved in the story and providing good biographies to those personalities. I felt as if I was in the time, a good indicator of the strength of this history. Although I knew vaguely about the reform crisis already, this gave my college-recollections a great refresher. I also think that people interested in American constitutional history and in the evolution of voting rights in the US would benefit from this book. You do not just have to be interested in British history to find it useful in understanding US history and even the debates about voting rights (i.e., in the Supreme Court) of today. British Political History at its Finest This is another worthy book from one of the great stylists of modern historians. Lady Antonia Fraser has crafted a marvelously readable (or listenable) tale of one of the great political accomplishments of the nineteenth century--the Reform Bill of 1832. I confess to loving traditional narrative history told with a clear look to the future impact of the event under discussion. To that end, Fraser examines the role of the key players in this parliamentary drama, and doesn't hesitate to probe the foibles of those players. Too, the author gives the reader/listener a solid understanding of the circumstances that pushed parliamentary reform to the forefront of the political agenda. It is an unfortunate thing that this book may not get the large audience it deserves. Some may see it as too old fashioned or too narrowly focused to command the kind of attention that other lesser writers/historians command. To my mind, the kind of political dialogue and compromise that the Reform Bill entailed, is seldom seen any more, in British politics or elsewhere. So there is an inevitable whiff of nostalgia here for a lost era. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/Anarchy-Audiobook/B077V1BXSR Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/711/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: Anarchy Author: Errico Malatesta Narrator: Caroline Collins Format: Unabridged Length: 1 hr and 46 mins Language: English Release date: 12-21-17 Publisher: Audioliterature Genres: Nonfiction, Politics Publisher's Summary: "Anarchy" (1907) is a political classic written by famous anarchist Errico Malatesta. "Anarchy is a word which comes from the Greek, and signifies, strictly speaking, without government: the state of a people without any constituted authority. Before such an organization had begun to be considered possible and desirable by a whole class of thinkers, so as to be taken as the aim of a party (which party has now become one of the most important factors in modern social warfare), the word anarchy was taken universally in the sense of disorder and confusion; and it is still adopted in that sense by the ignorant and by adversaries interested in distorting the truth. We shall not enter into philological discussions, for the question is not philological but historical. The common meaning of the word does not misconceive its true etymological signification, but is derived from this meaning, owing to the prejudice that government must be a necessity of the organization of social life." Errico Malatesta (1853-1932) was an Italian anarchist. He spent much of his life exiled from Italy and in total spent more than ten years in prison. ©2017 Audioliterature (P)2017 Audioliterature biacuaduc@gmail.com (Errico Malatesta) Thu, 21 Dec 2017 10:19:48 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/Anarchy-Audiobook/B077V1BXSR thebookvoice.com 01:46:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/711/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

It offers a dogged defense of the anarchist policy as applied to a libertarian socialism, which Errico Malatesta regards as the natural ally of an anti-authoritarian system. The key argument is against imposed, top-down, coercive authority, not all methods by which people organize themselves and direct actions for the common good as well as individual fulfillment. "The basic function of government everywhere in all times whatever title it adopts and whatever its origin and organization may be, is always that of oppressing and exploiting the masses, of defending the oppressors and the exploiters; and its principle, characteristic and indispensable, instruments are the police agent and the tax-collector, the soldier and the jailerâto whom must be invariably added the trader in lies, be he priest or schoolmaster, remunerated or protected by the government to enslave minds and make them docilely accept the yoke." Strong words, typical of the prose in this pamphlet. If not by direct oppression physically, then by submission through the control of property and resources, we submit. While Malatesta admits that governments do also look after some elements of welfare, security, utilities, and education, he suspects that the underlying reason is to cow the common people, and to make them better bear the yoke of the State and the wealthy, allied in power over all. Against this, Malatesta promotes solidarity, as surely, he reasons, people in primitive times on saw even as they were brought under submission by those who took over as the elite, that coordination among people could also bring about common progress and congenial progress for the better. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/Trigger-Warning-Is-the-Fear-of-Being-Offensive-Killing-Free-Speech-Audiobook/B00ZDGF02E Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/711/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: Trigger Warning: Is the Fear of Being Offensive Killing Free Speech? Author: Mick Hume Narrator: Steven Crossley Format: Unabridged Length: 11 hrs and 45 mins Language: English Release date: 06-18-15 Publisher: HarperCollins Publishers Limited Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 17 votes Genres: Nonfiction, Politics Publisher's Summary: In this blistering polemic, veteran journalist Mick Hume presents an uncompromising defence of freedom of expression, which he argues is threatened in the West not by jackbooted censorship but by a creeping culture of conformism and you-can't-say-that. The cold-blooded murder of the Charlie Hebdo cartoonists in January 2015 brought a deadly focus to the issue of free speech. Leaders of the free-thinking world united in condemning the killings, proclaiming Je suis Charlie'. But it wasn't long before many commentators were arguing that the massacre showed the need to apply limits to free speech and to restrict the right to be offensive. It has become fashionable not only to declare yourself offended by what somebody else says, but to use the offence card' to demand that they be prevented from saying it. Social media websites such as Twitter have become the scene of twitch hunts' where online mobs hunt down trolls and other heretics who express the wrong' opinion. And trigger warnings and other measures to protect' sensitive students from potentially offensive material have spread from American universities across the Atlantic and the Internet. Hume argues that without freedom of expression, our other liberties would not be possible. Against the background of the historic fight for free speech, Trigger Warning identifies the new threats facing it today and spells out how unfettered freedom of expression, despite the pain and the problems it entails, remains the most important liberty of all. Critic Reviews: "This is an important book, and couldn't be more timely. It's strong-minded, unafraid, determined to knock down all the various specious arguments against free speech, unapologetic about insisting on the value of free expression, and terrifically well argued.

As a college English instructor, I can attest to the vital importance of its message. thoughtful A most interesting book in the Spirit of Orwell. It observes the trends of todays social climate in a thoughtful way. Must be read to understood the fragility of Free Speech and the Press is in today's society. Think that our enlightened and open-minded society has put us past the days of censorship and a golden age of free speech is upon us? Two words: THINK AGAIN. In this revealing work, Mick Hume puts the spotlight on today's issues that effect free speech. Covering the history of free speech and the modern day institutional attacks in the universities, entertainment, sports, and the perceived liberator of ideas known as the World Wide Web, Hume examines how excuses such as "trolling" and "obnoxious sports conduct" are nothing short of similarities to more historical excuses. Furthermore, Hume devotes entire chapters to debunking the overlooked but pathetic and childish blanket excuses for censorship such as the "you can't yell fire in a crowded theater" or even "we cannot be tolerant to intolerance". It is essential that Free Speech must be maximized, if it is to be for all. That means facing the difficult truth, that this fragile freedom is for the idiot and the intellectual alike. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/British-Politics-Bolinda-Beginner-Guides-Audiobook/B007PSX5OI Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/711/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: British Politics: Bolinda Beginner Guides Author: Richard S Grayson Narrator: David Thorn Format: Unabridged Length: 7 hrs and 10 mins Language: English Release date: 03-30-12 Publisher: Bolinda Publishing Pty Ltd Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 6 votes Genres: Nonfiction, Politics Publisher's Summary: In May 2010, British politics entered a revolutionary new era. With the election of the first hung parliament since 1974, Britain found itself in the unfamiliar world of coalition government. Explaining what this all means, this incisive introduction shows us how our politics is changing and why we should care about it. Exploring the structure of British government, "spin", foreign policy, and the fallout from the expenses scandal and the financial crisis, Grayson reveals the complex interactions that determine everything from the taxes we pay to when we put the wheelie bin out. Editorial Reviews: The 2010 British elections, which resulted in a rare hung parliament, serve as a springboard for former liberal democrat candidate Richard S. Graysons overview of the machinations of British politics, which seeks to illuminate why such a deep chasm exists between the public and the representatives it elects.

Members Reviews: Fantastic ! This was so surprisingly engaging! As someone who is usually bored by this subject I listened from start to finish and learnt a lot. It's even given me a taste for more! Superb narrator too! A Springboard A good place to start. Easy to understand, relevant and interesting. I felt that it was fair and objective, not swaying towards any party. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/From-the-Closet-to-the-Altar-Audiobook/B00G3EHPQO Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/711/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: From the Closet to the Altar Subtitle: Courts, Backlash, and the Struggle for Same-Sex Marriage Author: Michael J. Klarman Narrator: Andi Arndt Format: Unabridged Length: 10 hrs and 58 mins Language: English Release date: 12-17-13 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 3 votes Genres: Nonfiction, Politics Publisher's Summary: Same-sex marriage has become one of the most volatile issues in American politics. But if most young people support gay marriage, and if there are clear indicators that a substantial majority of the population will soon favor it, why has the outcry against it been so strong? Bancroft Prize-winning historian and legal expert Michael Klarman here offers an illuminating and engaging account of modern litigation over same-sex marriage. After looking at the treatment of gays in the decades after World War II and the birth of the modern gay rights movement with the Stonewall Rebellion in 1969, Klarman describes the key legal cases involving gay marriage and the dramatic political backlashes they ignited. He examines the Hawaii Supreme Court's ruling in 1993, which sparked a vast political backlash - with more than 35 states and Congress enacting defense-of-marriage acts - and the Massachusetts decision in Goodridge in 2003, which inspired more than 25 states to adopt constitutional bans on same-sex marriage. Klarman traces this same pattern - court victory followed by dramatic backlash - through cases in Vermont, California, and Iowa, taking the story right up to the present. biacuaduc@gmail.com (Michael J.

Members Reviews: Good theory, ok read Overall after reading the book I was impressed with the theory of backlash that Klarman presents. I read this book for a graduate seminar and found it useful in my later research, but the writing the was unremarkable and quite humdrum at some points. I wont say that it was bad, because its not, but its not a leisure reading book either. I Couldn't Put This Book Down I usually only have time to read on the subway to and from work, but with this book I found myself reading when I was supposed to be asleep, reading when I was supposed to cook dinner, and reading when I would usually check e-mails or play Candy Crush. Focusing more directly on court cases and legislative battles, this book gives a pretty narrow view of the progress of gay rights in this country. I think that like any major movement LGBT rights has many stories to tell, and this is just one of them. It's written in a way that pulls you into each part of the story and leads you right to the Supreme Court. At the time it was published, there were a lot of changes going on, such as Obama changing his stance on gay marriage. I felt like I could feel the pulse of the movement as it moved forward faster and faster through history. I really enjoyed his writing style, as well as his choices in book structure. I was glad I read it on my Kindle because occasionally I had to search for a name to find where he first mentioned it. I think that has more to do with my poor name memory than his story order though. Interesting history of same-sex marriage I really enjoyed this book. The author did a fantastic job of compiling the history of same-sex marriage, especially in regards to court decisions, without making it too complicated or boring. The author also did a great job in remaining neutral in the discussion. A very interesting, readable book. Disclaimer: I received the Kindle book in exchange for my honest review. Great account of a phemonemal social transformation Klarman tells the story of the breathtaking social turn toward acceptance of gay marriage in the U.S. with his usual insight as a legal historian and social observer, and yet in clear prose accessible to all readers. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/Gross-National-Happiness-Audiobook/B0042U1JS6 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/711/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: Gross National Happiness Subtitle: Why Happiness Matters for America and How We Can Get More of It Author: Arthur C. Brooks Narrator: Richard Stevens Format: Unabridged Length: 6 hrs and 10 mins Language: English Release date: 09-14-10 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 19 votes Genres: Nonfiction, Politics Publisher's Summary: Democrats and Republicans have two very different visions of America. Which one will make us happier? Who are the happiest Americans Surveys show that religious people think they are happier than secularists, and secularists think they are happier than religious people. Liberals believe they are happier than conservatives, and conservatives disagree. In fact, almost every group thinks it is happier than everyone else. In this provocative new book, Arthur C. Brooks explodes the myths about happiness in America. As he did in the controversial Who Really Cares: The Surprising Truth About Compassionate Conservatism, Brooks examines vast amounts of evidence and empirical research to uncover the truth about who is happy in America, who is not, and - most important - why. He finds that there is a real "happiness gap" in America today, and it lies disconcertingly close to America's cultural and political fault lines. The great divide between the happy and the unhappy in America, Brooks shows, is largely due to differences in social and cultural values. The values that bring happiness are faith, charity, hard work, optimism, and individual liberty. Secularism, excessive reliance on the state to solve problems, and an addiction to security all promote unhappiness. What can be done to maximize America's happiness? Replete with the unconventional wisdom for which Brooks has come to be known, Gross National Happiness offers surprising and illuminating conclusions about how our government can best facilitate Americans in their pursuit of happiness. Critic Reviews: "Arthur Brooks makes me--how else to put it?--happy. He makes me grossly, nationally happy. If you want to be a real American you need to pause in your life and your liberty and pursue some happiness by reading this book." (P. J. O'Rourke) "Arthur Brooks may be the most innovative and creative analyst of public policy in America today. His insights are in a different league and may lead to an entirely new approach to thinking through public policy. Gross National Happiness is a must read for every person who wants to understand what policies America needs." (Newt Gingrich) biacuaduc@gmail.com (Arthur C.

Title: The Right Path Subtitle: From Ike to Reagan, How Republicans Once Mastered Politics - and Can Again Author: Joe Scarborough Narrator: George Newbern, Joe Scarborough Format: Unabridged Length: 5 hrs and 54 mins Language: English Release date: 11-12-13 Publisher: Random House Audio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 15 votes Genres: Nonfiction, Politics Publisher's Summary: Joe Scarborough - former Republican congressman and the always insightful host of MSNBCs Morning Joe - takes a nuanced and surprising look at the unexpected rise and self-inflicted fall of the Republican Party.

Members Reviews: interesting read but a bit repetitive I am a political conservative but regular Morning Joe watcher, because I enjoy the interaction of various political perspectives --even if the table does usually lean slightly to the left. I enjoy Scarborough and found his premise in the book accurate and useful, but it could have been effectively expressed in an extended article rather than in a book-length format. That said, it is a fairly quick read and will find a welcome audience among political junkies! Fall short of expectation I am a fan of Joe Scarborough. I think people like him are the conscience of GOPs. I've purchased this book with high expectation of a self critique of past and present, broad vision to a future path book. Instead, it was a recital of the glory past. He argue why GOP should follow the model of the prime glory past. I gave up reading it finally after 60% percent of the book. Learning from history is important but this is why the GOP has failed and still heading to a bigger failure. This is a party of the past and so does the voter base. A compelling review of political history and moderate plan for a better future. Well written and narrated story of conservatives and centrists of the GOP. Good review for today's issues. I lived through most of this history, but forgot or did not understand it as I do now. This is a thoughtful way to spend some hours on the road. That's what I did and I intend to pass it on to some long distance drivers. Ok assessment but missing something Overall this was a good book but lacked a clear ending of a frame work that Joe see for the Republican Party to win national elecations. Though it dose talk about being more moderate it falls shot of what areas moderation needs to come into effect. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/We-Can-All-Do-Better-Audiobook/B0083BVWK0 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/711/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: We Can All Do Better Author: Bill Bradley Narrator: Peter Ganim, Bill Bradley Format: Unabridged Length: 6 hrs and 2 mins Language: English Release date: 05-14-12 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 60 votes Genres: Nonfiction, Politics Publisher's Summary: Bill Bradley is arguably one of the most well-versed public figures of our time. The 18-year New Jersey Senator, financial and investment adviser, Olympic and NBA athlete, national radio host, and best-selling author has lived in the United States as both political insider and outsider, national sports celebrity and behind-the-scenes confidante, leader and teammate. His varied experiences help to inform his unique and much-sought-after point of view on Washington and the country at large. In We Can All Do Better, for the first time since the financial meltdown and since the worst of the intensifying political gridlock, Bradley offers his own concise, powerful, and highly personal review of the state of the nation. Bradley argues that government is not the problem. He criticizes the role of money and politics, explains how continuing on our existing foreign policy, electoral, and economic paths will mean a diminished future, and lays out exactly what needs to be done to reverse course. Breaking from the intransigent, long-held viewpoints of both political parties, and with careful attention to our nations history, Bradley passionately lays out his narrative. He offers a no-holds-barred prescription on subjects including job creation, deficit reduction, education, and immigration. While equally critical of the approaches of the Tea Party and Occupy movements, he champions the power of individual Americans to organize, speak out, bridge divisions, and he calls on the media to assume a more responsible role in our national life. As this moving call to arms reminds us, we can allelected officials, private citizens, presidentsdo a better job of moving our country forward. Bradley is perhaps the best guide imaginable, with his firsthand knowledge of governments' inner-workings, the countrys diversity, and the untapped potential of the American people. Critic Reviews: "Bill Bradley is gone from the NBA and Senate but in this timely book he reminds us that the demands of citizenship never stop and he offers a plan to get America back in the game." (Tom Brokaw) "For all of us who care about the renewal of our country and the revitalization of our politics, this extraordinary book provides an indispensable guide. Bradley speaks with unusual clarity, candor, insight and passion about the problems we face and the road we can take to move forward. This book should be widely read." (Doris Kearns Goodwin, Pulitzer Prize-winning author and presidential historian) "Bill Bradleys We Can All Do Better is a clarion call to Americans of every political stripe and walk of life to stand up and demand of themselves and of their leaders the fair play, idealism, discipline and optimism that made America a beacon for the world. This thoughtful book deserves wide attention."

Highly recommend for those looking to see how American capitalism can be preserved without the drastic changes outside constitutional and historical order. Just "eh" I feel pretty "eh" about this book. I had actually never heard of this ex- basketball star slash Senator before. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/On-Christmas-and-the-Situation-in-Poland-December-23-1981-Audiobook/B00SYSO0HO Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/711/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Modern policies regarding immigration tends to lean in favor of the immigrant. This possibly comes from the fact that Hispanic immigrants often vote heavily in favor of Democrats, therefore Democrats have established policies that make it easier for illegal immigrants to remain in the country. One of these policies allows for immigrant families to remain in the US if their child or children were born in the country. These children are referred to as anchor babies. Another is amnesty, a policy that pardons individuals for breaking immigration laws under certain circumstances. However, the impact of immigration on US society is not always beneficial. Many immigrants take advantage of welfare and federal assistance programs to support their families.... Please note: This is key takeaways and analysis of the book and not the original book.

Members Reviews: A Masterpiece to Bring Unity to our Divided Nation Are you concerned about the current state of our nation and the direction we are headed? Mark Gerzon offers an impassioned and informed message to the country of how we can work together with people different from ourselves to find common ground to strengthen the country we all love. Mark's experience in this arena dates back over two decades where designed and facilitated the first two Bipartisan Congressional Retreats of the US House of Representatives. In this book, he offers personal stories of how we can work with people from all backgrounds and actually need people from different perspectives to face the challenges before us. This book embodies not a Republican or Democrat campaign, but an American campaign that we all should join for the sake of America. Mark talks about many organizations that are putting country before party by building bridges instead of walls and encouraged me to get more involved in these efforts. Partisan paralysis has gripped our nation and the messages contained in this book will help us get out of this mess. Buy a copy of this book for yourself and another to give to a friend or an elected official. Most attempts to understand and "solve" it look like one of three things Political polarization is becoming an increasingly popular--and relevant--topic. It's something we have to address. Most attempts to understand and "solve" it look like one of three things: 1) Blaming one party or the other and therefore... shame them? 2) Blaming technology and therefore there's nothing we can do 3) Some desperate flailing or high-fallutin' but vague treatise about the Constitution All pretty worthless. Gerzon is able to lay out a very clear ontology about what activities--by all of us--drive us towards division, and how to change those behaviors to reunite. He backs it up with data and his extensive experience. It's a field guide for "the rest of us" on how to save the country from partisan bickering. And it needs to be required reading. I highly recommend this book This was an inspiring book that helped me understand how crucial it is to be open minded. I resent that Americans are labeled as conservative or liberal, Republican or Democratic, right or wrong. We are all in this together and if we want to preserve our democracy we must learn to listen to each other. We have some common ground. Let's get together and help move our country toward our shared values. I highly recommend this book. Excellent book that is worth reading NOW. Superb book with good information to help open our eyes to new ways of working TOGETHER. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/Pourquoi-le-quartier-de-la-Defense-sappelle-t-il-ainsi-Choses-a-savoir-Audiobook/B077D8MJNC Écoutez ce livre audio dans son intégralité gratuitement sur https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/711/]]> Titre: Pourquoi le quartier de la Défense s'appelle-t-il ainsi ?

Members Reviews: Someone had Mr. West a Kleenex Any additional comments? Richard West whines about the unfair portrayal of Steve Bannon, a known purveyor of slander, obfuscation and exaggeration - just watch his documentary, Occupied Unmasked, to see how much Bannon is willing to invent and how poorly he reasons. He says Bannon has been successful and that is why what the "liberal media" wants to tear him down. The country loves successful people and the media spends half of its time celebrating celebrities. This is a not credible reason for negative press on Bannon. West claims there is no evidence that Bannon is a racist or a white nationalist. Yet Bannon openly stated that he was part of the Alt Right that the Alt Right contains many racists and white nationalist. If there is a meaningful distinction between them, West does not inform us. In fact, he offers no information on Bannon's beliefs or thinking. He does repeatedly claim says the "liberal" media lied to us about the 2016 election, as if the major news organizations, which over-report the horse race and under report issues, purposefully covered up evidence of Trump success. They didn't. They purposefully avoided asking real questions of either candidate, which is part of the reason we ended with such ridiculous candidates. But they didn't lie. The media was surprised, including Fox. The President was surprised - almost everyone was surprised. We all got it wrong - that is very different from lying. West pretends to be marginalized. His feelings are clearly hurt and he seems to think that allows him to invents conspiracies. It doesn't. Even though the book is very short, it is isn't worth your time. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/Texas-v-Johnson-Audiobook/B00P8AISQK Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/711/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Title: It IS About Islam | Summary and Analysis of Glen Beck's It IS About Islam Author: Summary Station Narrator: Bob Arthur Format: Unabridged Length: 43 mins Language: English Release date: 04-05-16 Publisher: Summary Station Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 1 votes Genres: Nonfiction, Politics Publisher's Summary: Summary and analysis of Glen Beck's It IS About Islam: Exposing the Truth About ISIS, Al Qaeda, Iran, and the Caliphate Learn about the Muslim terrorist threat in a fraction of the time it takes to read/listen to the actual book! Glenn Beck begins his book with a stark declaration. The atrocities committed by some Muslims against non-believers of Islam are sanctioned by the Qur'an. Chapters (Sura) in the Qur'an tell followers of Islam it is their duty to declare war against non-believers: "Fight against those who believe not in Allah, nor the last day." Other chapters condone taking of prisoners in war: "So, when you meet those who disbelieve, smite at their necks, then bind a bond firmly." (Meaning: Take them as captives) Further chapters tell that slaves, or captives, can be killed, sold, or ransomed back to their families. Beck continues by describing how there are Islamist fanatics all around us who are plotting to kill us in various ways. These fanatics operate under a religion which calls for the murder of anyone who doesn't submit to it. He also points out that not every Muslim believes in the violent actions some followers do. Not every Muslim condones the enforcement of sharia law. He then goes on to describe the difference between Islam and Islamism, with Islam being the religion of one-and-a-half billion people worldwide. Islamism is a supremacist regime that wants to enforce Islamic holy law, globally. Islamists, Beck explains, range from terrorists, such as members of Al-Qaida and ISIS, but also include many Muslims who believe everyone should follow their religion and see those who do not as lower class. He also points out that there are Muslims you work with, live next door to, and might have as part of your family who are targets of the Islamists as well. They believe in bringing Islam into the 21st century and making it compatible with other religions and by doing so are seen as not Muslim enough, making them enemies of the Islamists.

Members Reviews: Let Freedom Ring The perpetual childhood of baby boom liberals, and those they have managed to indoctrinate,can't stand up to Ringers clarion call to cast off ideology and return to logic and reason and rationalism in all our national affairs. Liberty and freedom make life worth living: not cowering in fear to political correctness and perpetuating Social programs that have only worsened our society and culture in the last fifty years. Government must be sharply reduced and removed from an ever expanding role in society if we're to avoid the totalitarian hell world the demented, hypocritical boomers have bequeathed to future generations. Ringers argument for freedom, liberty self reliance and common sense are unassailable by liberals who have brought the USA to the brink of destruction.

Title: Dismantling the Empire Subtitle: Americas Last Best Hope Author: Chalmers Johnson Narrator: Tom Weiner Format: Unabridged Length: 5 hrs and 30 mins Language: English Release date: 08-17-10 Publisher: Blackstone Audio, Inc. Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 75 votes Genres: Nonfiction, Politics Publisher's Summary: The author of the best-selling Blowback Trilogy reflects on America's waning power in a masterful collection of essays. In his prophetic book Blowback, published before 9/11, Chalmers Johnson warned that our secret operations in Iraq and elsewhere around the globe would exact a price at home. Now, in a brilliant series of essays written over the last three years, Johnson measures that price and the resulting dangers America faces. Our reliance on Pentagon economics, a global empire of bases, and war without end is, he declares, nothing short of "a suicide option". Dismantling the Empire explores the subjects for which Johnson is now famous, from the origins of blowback to Barack Obamas Afghanistan conundrum, including our inept spies, our bad behavior in other countries, our ill-fought wars, and our capitulation to a military that has taken ever more control of the federal budget. There is, he proposes, only one way out: President Obama must begin to dismantle the empire before the Pentagon dismantles the American Dream. If we do not learn from the fates of past empires, he suggests, our decline and fall are foreordained. This is Johnson at his best, delivering both a warning and an urgent prescription for a remedy. Critic Reviews: This timely book from accomplished historian Johnson ( Blowback) collects previously published articles that make succinct, hard-hitting attacks on what the author perceives as America's ruinous imperial follies. Johnson is especially critical of the U.S. penchant for covert operations run by the CIAthe president's private armyand its enthrallment to what Eisenhower called the military-industrial complex. compellingly presented.

( Publishers Weekly) Members Reviews: Unimpressed Rarely do I listen to a book where I agree with everything the author is saying for the most part, but find myself annoyed to the point where I didn't want to finish. I made it through the whole book, but only out of tenacity. I love Chalmers Johnson, and I was a big fan of Blow Back several years back. I'm politically much in line with Johnson's conclusions, but his approach here is disappointing for several reasons. First, the book takes the form of several essays rather than a single coherent and comprehensive volume. There's a lack of flow from chapter to chapter. There's no sense of Johnson starting the reader out at the bottom of the argument, and building up the argument with facts, examples, and analysis to a climax. Here, one would expect the center of the book to be several clear, concise recommendations, along with a plan for just how "dismantling the empire" might play out on the world stage and in the American political arena. But I didn't get that. There are a bunch of conclusions such as America should disband the CIA and replace it with the State Department's intelligence apparatus, but these aren't well connected enough to feel like a prescription for action and he often repeats them. Lots of information in chapters is redundant and tiresome. "You already said that..." Second, I'm annoyed by the need to constantly rehash the first 3 books. They felt like shameless plugs and much of the information is duplicated from those earlier works. Third, the tone is that of a diatribe. Johnson seems more interested in engaging in polemics that making an academic argument. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/Chatter-Audiobook/B002V1O4S0 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/711/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

(Publishers Weekly) Members Reviews: Really neat look at intelligence gathering/secrecy It's a shame this book hasn't been more widely listened to (only 3 ratings at time of this writing, all 5 stars) because it's extremely informative and brings to light issues/events that you might not be aware of, or even think of when you consider the topic of intelligence. It's an ideal book for anyone curious about the subject, and if you're interested in learning a little from a neat non-fiction book, this one is a great choice. Just listen to the audio sample first, the narrator's voice is quite deep and maybe a little exaggerated. My mp3 player lets me select a higher playback speed so I can make the voice sound more normal and it's not a problem for me. I still highly recommend it regardless. Worth your time. This is a really solid introduction to a topic I knew almost nothing about. If you want to learn something substantive about Signals Intelligence (electronic evesdropping) in an utterly painless way, this is a great download. It's pretty well-written, and although it meanders about at times, by the time it's all done, you've had a very broad exposure to the topic. The author here is not some privacy zealot out to do a hatchet job on the NSA. Rather, he seems to approach his topic with a genuine sense of intellectual curiousity and an understanding of the inherent trade-offs between privacy and security interests. But what emerges from this fair and frank analysis of the available information is no less troubling. If you are concerned about your personal privacy, this book shows you have every reason to be justified in those concerns. If you aren't particularly concerned about privacy and just hope our spys manage to find a way to stay ahead of the bad guys and head off the next 9/11, you should also be very concerned about what this book has to say about the effectiveness of U.S. evesdropping capabilities. The picture that emerges here is that of a traditional, hide-bound government bureaucracy, unable to adapt to the changes in modern communication, rather than the all-seeing, all powerful, Great Eye of the U.S. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/Longitudes-Attitudes-Audiobook/B002V5H3D4 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/711/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Friedman Format: Abridged Length: 5 hrs and 50 mins Language: English Release date: 02-14-03 Publisher: Macmillan Audio Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 167 votes Genres: Nonfiction, Politics Publisher's Summary: Longitudes & Attitudes is made up of Friedman's New York Times columns, as well as a diary of his private experiences and reflections as he travels to Europe, the Mideast, and the Far East. He talks with the major players in the story and men and women in the street as he develops and refines his unique perspective on the new kind of war America finds itself fighting. And he helps us to understand who "they" are, and reassures us about who "we" are. In the author's words, the result is "a 'word album' that captures and preserves the raw, unpolished emotional and analytical responses that illustrate how I, and others, felt as we tried to grapple with September 11 and its aftermath as it continues to unfold." More than any other journalist writing today, Friedman gives voice to America's awakening sense of a radically new world and our own complex place in it.

But it was well worth reading! Not only were the ideas clearly and interestingly presented, but this book made me think about some things I never considered before and made me want to learn more. What more, really, can you ask of a commentary? listen to this book Whether you agree or disagree is up to you. What is important is that you listen and think about what is going on around you. A Tour de Force by a Thoughtful American Patriot This audiobook consists of two parts. The first is of New York Times Foreign Affairs Columnist Thomas Friedman reading a series of his own columns. In the second part, Friedman reads his own personal diary, which covers the travels, personal reflection, interviews, and discussions that Friedman used to further his personal understanding and write these columns. As a longtime reader of Friedman's columns, it was exciting for me to hear the passionate and articulate voice behind the writing, and to understand how the author develops his ideas. I gained an understanding of the mechanics of repression, religious fundamentalism, and violence in today's world, and was impressed by Friedman's ideas on the way forward. I also gained a clearer sense of what it means to be a modern American patriot. Friedman's patriotism incorporates a deep respect for ethnic, religious, and cultural diversity; a broad compassion for the world's peoples and their struggles; and an enhanced appreciation of the power of individual and collective enterprise. Attitudes WITHOUT Latitude Thomas Friedman's work has always been interesting and insightful. His work is fascinating in regards to data, historical events, memos and behind the scenes policy making of which most of us overworked Americans have no prior knowledge. For me, this book was a fabulous insight, but buyer beware, it is a very, very, VERY liberal work, and I sense Friedman's Jewish ties are the reason for his lack of plasticity regarding Palestine. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/A-Disquisition-on-Government-Audiobook/B006R7QIM4 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/711/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Waiting over 40 years to read and now wondering what took so long In over 40 years of studying our heritage and the science of government and reading quotes and pieces from this and his book on our supreme law I finally decided it was time to study both. This edition allows me to take full advantage of the note features and flash card features the Kindle reader allows. More important than the format is the book's content written by what I now realize was one of the most brilliant writers and speakers on the topic. It may be I needed the years of building convicions prior to reading these in-depth but I will say to any reading this, don't wait. When he writes about factional warfare, breaks down a lot of the destructive steps a society can take to go from liberty to tyranny it was like reading a chapter of our modern day world...history's toughest lessons do repeat themselves and there's no denying that fact, espeically when reading through this work. He writes in a style that is easy to understand, will cause pauses for reflection, side referencing, and notes (lots of notes). I've moved right from this to his Discourse on the Constitution and Government of the United States, making my time with John Calhoun even more valuable in help secure my convictions about government. My view is simple; Liberty is our right, Freedom our responsibility and these books help bring even more credence to that concept. Don't judge the content by the perceptions modern people have about John Calhoun. If you believe he is no more than a rebellious soul bent on some outdated, predjudice driven desire to stand upon state's rights (and even what that means) then wait to read these. Get a real knowledge about who he was and what he can offer us in understanding government from Rome to modern times. Not bad While Calhoun fails to establish the necessity of his system and often appears to merely be justifying the institutions of the south, it does, by the end, appear to be a consistent system and a genuine attempt to construct a better form of government. Historically interesting , sufficiently stimulating, and, in some sections, absolutely evocative. Calhoun was brilliant John Calhoun was endowed with great ability to understand the Constitution of the United States. This was written during the time the Nullification Crisis was happening around 1830. While it is written from the perspective of a southern slave holder, it neverthless is a great discourse on the Constitition. Our republic Essential reading for anyone who wishes to understand what the American republic was intended to be, but no longer is. Five Stars An important book for anyone desiring to understand the breadth of American political thought. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/Brexit-The-Tip-of-the-Populist-Iceberg-Audiobook/B01N7IY485 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/711/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Genres: Nonfiction, Politics Publisher's Summary: A Macat Analysis of Niccolò Machiavelli's The Prince London: Penguin, 1987 Though written around 1513, more than 500 years ago, Italian diplomat Niccolò Machiavelli's The Prince is still very influential. Listeners turn to it for its direct advice on the question of how to attain - and retain - power. Machiavelli's answer, in brief: use any means necessary to make sure the state survives. Given the changeable nature of politics, the strong ruler that Machiavelli describes may need to lie or cheat, deceive and, if necessary, resort to acts of violence - all the while maintaining an "image" of goodness. With enough skill - along with luck and favorable circumstances - the prince will retain his power. Machiavelli's ideas continue to be used today, by leaders both scrupulous and unscrupulous. Rightly or wrongly, his name remains a byword for political behavior that deals in realities rather than theories, making The Prince arguably one of the most influential books in the Western tradition.

Members Reviews: Refreshing, creative, and inspiring British politics can be refreshing, creative, and inspiring. That's demonstrated in this fine book by Nick Clegg - especially in Chapter 4, "Making Britain Great Again" Good book but preaching to the converted Nick Clegg is a very intelligent man and he has a lot to say. His insights into how Brexit can be stopped were helpful and interesting. I did enjoy this book. My main complaint though is that the first half of the book is pretty much preaching to the converted. No one would buy a book called "How to Stop Brexit" if they were not already (probably quite strong) remainers. He spends too long making the case for remain. Bad things happen when good people do nothing Whilst it might be doubtful that this will actually have much effect, you have to hand it to him for at least standing up and doing something about it. He provides a good analysis of the background to the referendum, and how it was far from an example of democracy. a strength of this is that he does at least suggest some concrete steps that we could all take, to actually try to make a difference. It is very easy for people to sit around and say that it is terrible that it is happening, and assume that it is inevitable, but it is just that inevitability that politicians rely on in order to pursue whatever it is they are trying to pursue. A voice of reason in utterly mad times An absolute delight and a much-needed infusion of reason in an era of utterly mad politics. All that Clegg says makes so much sense: His assessment of the referendum, it's legitimacy, it's results and mostly, it's consequences and validity. As the referendum has been over a year ago and evidence mounts on false promises and seriously damaging consequences we need to reassess the situation, not stick by our guns in a false sense of loyalty to a narrow once-pff snapshot of the electorate. Regardless of your opinion on Brexit, there is a lot of political wisdom and analysis of errors in our thinking. It's brilliant. While I;m not sure a movement, such as Momentum was for Labour, could stop Brexit via Conservative Party channels, I feel that the template letters at the end are an excellent tool. Clegg remains one of the greatest political minds. There is hope yet. Enjoyed Clegg's passionate and reasonable tone. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/First-Inaugural-Address-January-20-1981-Audiobook/B00SYSO7PE Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/711/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Title: Shut Up & Sing Subtitle: How Elites from Hollywood, Politics, and the UN are Subverting America Author: Laura Ingraham Narrator: Erin Novotny Format: Unabridged Length: 12 hrs and 32 mins Language: English Release date: 06-23-12 Publisher: Regnery Publishing Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 9 votes Genres: Nonfiction, Politics Publisher's Summary: Meet the elites. They think you're stupid. They think all freedom-loving Americans are stupid. They think patriotism is stupid. They think churchgoing is stupid. They think flag-flying is stupid. They despise families with more than two children. They are sure that where we live - anywhere but near or in a few major cities - is an insipid cultural wasteland. They think your SUV is evil - although theirs is absolutely necessary. They think owning a gun is criminal. They think George Bush is an idiot. They even think it's wrong for us to do what we have to do to protect our nation and our loved ones. Worst of all, they think our abiding belief in the goodness of America and its founding principles is naïve and misguided. But in this refreshing and blisteringly insightful look at the elites, Laura Ingraham reveals that it is they, not us, who are pickled in prejudice, morally blind, and outrageously hypocritical. In a word, it is they who are stupid. Ingraham exposes the outrageous howlers and muddled thinking peddled by a rogue's gallery of Hollywood celebs, media yuppies, trial lawyers, multiculturalists, God-haters, and race-relations bullies who are exalted as heroes by the elite. Ingraham unmasks the shallowness of elite thinking everywhere it is found: in politics, the media, the ivory tower, arts and entertainment, and even business and international organizations. Nor does she restrict her skewering of the elite only to its natural home, the Democratic Party - she ably zeroes in on elite enclaves within the GOP as well. biacuaduc@gmail.com (Laura Ingraham) Sat, 23 Jun 2012 13:59:37 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/Shut-Up-Sing-Audiobook/B008DJ09WO thebookvoice.com 12:32:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/711/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Love Laura, Hated this Audiobook What disappointed you about Shut Up & Sing? Flat out worst audio recording ever. I'm not a technophile by any stretch, and even my untrained ear could hear the lousy dubbing going on. You know when they show movies on television, and awkwardly dub out the curse words? Exactly like that. And in the most random of places. They didn't even bother to match the narrators - the dubs were clearly different people reading. It was so distracting that I had to stop a quarter of the way in. I'm blown away that Ms Ingraham would allow her name on this - it's that shoddy. If youve listened to books by Laura Ingraham before, how does this one compare? I've listened to "Of Thee I Zing" and other Ingraham titles - which were terrific. This one is unlistenable. What didnt you like about Erin Novotnys performance? Whiny and too southern - jarring especially when you know Laura's professional radio voice. You didnt love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities? Holy crap, no. Go buy her other audiobooks, which are way better. Especially those narrated by Laura herself! Laura first woman president! I love this book and more importantly this person. She is what making America great is all about. First you start out with good people and reason things out. This is Laura . Our constitution has "In God We Trust" created a clear map for us us to follow. President Laura Ingraham could Keep us on a Steady path in the Pursuit of happiness.

Title: Government Gone Wild Subtitle: How D.C. Politicians Are Taking You for a Ride - and What You Can Do About It Author: Kristin Tate Narrator: Avalon Kingsbury Format: Unabridged Length: 7 hrs and 23 mins Language: English Release date: 06-28-16 Publisher: Hachette Audio Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 12 votes Genres: Nonfiction, Politics Publisher's Summary: With humor and a modern perspective, young conservative journalist Kristin Tate points out what's broken in our government and shows listeners how they can fix it. Do you really think you're "free"? #LOL. DC politicians ship our friends and family overseas to fight in wars we shouldn't be fighting. They monitor our emails, record our phone calls, and peer into our snail mail. They spend our hard-earned cash on things no disciplined family would buy. They tell us who we can marry and what we can put in our bodies. They throw us in overcrowded prisons for smoking pot. They take lavish trips around the world, staying in five-star hotels...and it comes straight out of our paychecks. This isn't freedom. Government Gone Wild is a brash, bold ride through the carnival of absurdities that our broken system has become. This isn't about Democrats versus Republicans...it's about inspiring hardworking Americans to give a damn so we can take our country back. This is your wake-up call. You're not anywhere near as free as you think you are - but you can be. We're not as prosperous as we once were - but we can be. Critic Reviews: "Government Gone Wild is a tour de force! Anybody who is looking for what comes next in America should pick up this book right now and read it straight through." (Nick Gillespie, editor in chief of Reason.com) "Kristin Tate emerges on the scene as the voice of millennial generation in Government Gone Wild. Insightful, unexpectedly thought-provoking, and with a heavy dose of humor, this really is a must read for anyone irked by the status quo in Washington." (Carla Gericke, president of the Free State Project) "Government Gone Wild is a wake-up call from Kristin Tate. In a lively style, she makes it clear that you're not nearly as free as you think you are. A lot of what she has to say may rub you the wrong way, but it's a message you need to hear.

(Scott Rasmussen, New York Times best-selling author, cofounder of ESPN, founder of the Rasmussen Reports) Members Reviews: Good Perspective. Any additional comments? The author does a good job pointing out how the government has become mislead and now interferes with our basic freedoms as United States citizens. The author does put too much of herself and her stories in it making it a bit long-winded. yeah what a fantastic book, great read. I would recommend this to any one interested in politics fox news kept promoting it Any additional comments? I gave this a try because the girl who wrote it is really pretty. Seriously, look her up. Anyways it's a good listen for an introduction into the libertarian point of view. It's basically 7 hours of John Stossel if he were a millennial woman. So if you like millennial John Stossel, this is right up your alley. The depth of the topics are a little shallow though because she runs the gamut of the conservative-libertarian platform so make sure to supplement all the points she made with your own information before you start arguing with other people at dinner parties. Final point: it's also a little condescending like she's talking to people who haven't had any interests outside of partying and television. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/E-Pluribus-One-Audiobook/B01MV7EHR3 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/711/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: E Pluribus One Subtitle: Reclaiming Our Founders' Vision for a United America Author: Sophia A. Nelson Narrator: Sophia A. Nelson Format: Unabridged Length: 8 hrs and 45 mins Language: English Release date: 02-09-17 Publisher: Hachette Audio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 2 votes Genres: Nonfiction, Politics Publisher's Summary: Our founders understood that America was the greatest experiment on earth. And they sealed it with these words: e pluribus unum: "out of many, we are one". "America is the story of us. And us isn't doing so great right now," says award-winning journalist and author Sophia A. Nelson. Coming on the heels of the raucous and divisive 2016 general election campaign, Nelson attempts to give the nation an inspirational charge and lift by helping us to reclaim our founders' vision for a united and strong America. Nelson reminds us that "we the people" are charged by our founders to cherish life, liberty, freedom, and equality as well as to safeguard the nation from intrusive governance. The founders also charged our leaders to be moral, virtuous, patriotic servants of the people. In this groundbreaking book, Nelson challenges us to live out the call of our founding: We are ONE America. We are ONE people We are ONE nation indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. Pulling from our founding fathers' core principles of liberty, citizenship, morals, virtues, civic engagement, equality, self-governance, and, when required, civil disobedience, Nelson calls us to a higher standard. She calls us to purpose. And she calls us to rediscover the things that unite us, not divide us. E Pluribus One is a book that all Americans, regardless of political party, race, religion, or gender, can embrace and share with their children and grandchildren for generations. It is a reminder simply of what makes America great and what makes us the envy of the world. Alexis de Tocqueville said it best: "America is great because America is good. If America ever ceases to be good, it will cease to be great." Nelson takes us on a historical yet very inspirational journey of not just our founding values but the men and women who walked them out and brought America to be the great light it is in the world over the past 240 years. Critic Reviews: "Sophia Nelson's smart, powerful insight in E Pluribus One is more than just an American history book, it is a book of American inspiration and what animates that indomitable American spirit!" (Michael Steele, former RNC chairman, MSNBC contributor, and political analyst) "Through a variety of American voices, Sophia Nelson has come up with a how-to guide of citizenship and political leadership. Brimming with straightforward talk about our founders' vision for a unified nation, and why we need it now more than ever." (Jonathan Capehart, Washington Post editorial board and Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist) "E Pluribus One is a fearless and urgent national call to unity. We couldn't put it down!"

Nelson reminds us that "we the people" are charged by our founders to cherish life, liberty, freedom, and equality as well as to safeguard the nation from intrusive governance. The founders also charged our leaders to be moral, virtuous, patriotic servants of the people. In this groundbreaking book, Nelson challenges us to live out the call of our founding: We are ONE America. We are ONE people We are ONE nation indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. Pulling from our founding fathers' core principles of liberty, citizenship, morals, virtues, civic engagement, equality, self-governance, and, when required, civil disobedience, Nelson calls us to a higher standard. She calls us to purpose. And she calls us to rediscover the things that unite us, not divide us. E Pluribus One is a book that all Americans, regardless of political party, race, religion, or gender, can embrace and share with their children and grandchildren for generations. It is a reminder simply of what makes America great and what makes us the envy of the world. Alexis de Tocqueville said it best: "America is great because America is good. If America ever ceases to be good, it will cease to be great." Nelson takes us on a historical yet very inspirational journey of not just our founding values but the men and women who walked them out and brought America to be the great light it is in the world over the past 240 years. Critic Reviews: "Sophia Nelson's smart, powerful insight in E Pluribus One is more than just an American history book, it is a book of American inspiration and what animates that indomitable American spirit!" (Michael Steele, former RNC chairman, MSNBC contributor, and political analyst) "Through a variety of American voices, Sophia Nelson has come up with a how-to guide of citizenship and political leadership. Brimming with straightforward talk about our founders' vision for a unified nation, and why we need it now more than ever." (Jonathan Capehart, Washington Post editorial board and Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist) "E Pluribus One is a fearless and urgent national call to unity. We couldn't put it down!" (Essence) Members Reviews: Nelson is an amazing politician, an could easily be the first female ... Sophia A. Nelson is an amazing politician, an could easily be the first female President. Her book os very poignant, and spot on!!! Historical Brief A positive narration, with more strength as a legal brief than a historical summary. For example, a convincing argument is presented limiting firearms to militias, but citing the founding date of Jamestown to 1619 vice 1607, reflecting some latitude with specifics. Internal points for elements such as: core unit is family and importance of being virtuous are not clearly supported. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/Evil-Empire-Speech-March-8-1983-Audiobook/B00SYSNGRY Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/711/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

These pages show you the dangerous laws and powergrabs of the Obama administration and what we can do to stop this leftist gang from seizing another term in office. Will President Obama transform the greatest engine of freedom the world has ever known into a Stalin-like regime? Trillions in new debt. His solution?

Members Reviews: A great masterpice Would you consider the audio edition of Trickle Down Tyranny to be better than the print version? It was read in a great way. What other book might you compare Trickle Down Tyranny to and why? Geert Wilder book because it is one of the best. Which character as performed by Pete Larkin was your favorite? it is non fiction If you could give Trickle Down Tyranny a new subtitle, what would it be? I think Savage did a great job with his one "Crushing Obama's Dreams of a Socialist America" Listen before the election! This book puts in one place all you need to know to decide if you want another 4 years of the Obamas. Awsome Read, just as enjoyable as listening on air What made the experience of listening to Trickle Down Tyranny the most enjoyable? Mostly just the story for me, not so much the voice. What was the most compelling aspect of this narrative? The Truth and honesty behind this all. Brings Clarity to the Obama charade. If you're a fan of Dr. Savage, then this book is about par with his other books. Warning psychological nudity... Our country needs change What made the experience of listening to Trickle Down Tyranny the most enjoyable? Dr Savage paints a mental picture that sometimes is far too vivid and you can't un-see it. But I love him for that. Whats the most interesting tidbit youve picked up from this book? Our current president is using the same tactics as former communist leaders to slowly change our country. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Nonfiction/Is-Democracy-Possible-Here-Audiobook/B0045DLKWA Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/711/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: Is Democracy Possible Here? Subtitle: Principles for a New Political Debate Author: Ronald Dworkin Narrator: Michael Kramer Format: Unabridged Length: 6 hrs and 29 mins Language: English Release date: 09-30-10 Publisher: University Press Audiobooks Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 11 votes Genres: Nonfiction, Politics Publisher's Summary: Politics in America are polarized and trivialized, perhaps as never before. In Congress, the media, and academic debate, opponents from right and left, the Red and the Blue, struggle against one another as if politics were contact sports played to the shouts of cheerleaders. The result, Ronald Dworkin writes, is a deeply depressing political culture, as ill equipped for the perennial challenge of achieving social justice as for the emerging threats of terrorism. Can the hope for change be realized? Dworkin, one of the world's leading legal and political philosophers, identifies and defends core principles of personal and political morality that all citizens can share. He shows that recognizing such shared principles can make substantial political argument possible and help replace contempt with mutual respect. Only then can the full promise of democracy be realized in America and elsewhere. Dworkin lays out two core principles that citizens should share: first, that each human life is intrinsically and equally valuable and, second, that each person has an inalienable personal responsibility for identifying and realizing value in his or her own life. He then shows what fidelity to these principles would mean for human rights, the place of religion in public life, economic justice, and the character and value of democracy. Dworkin argues that liberal conclusions flow most naturally from these principles. Properly understood, they collide with the ambitions of religious conservatives, contemporary American tax and social policy, and much of the War on Terror. But his more basic aim is to convince Americans of all political stripes - as well as citizens of other nations with similar cultures - that they can and must defend their own convictions through their own interpretations of these shared values. The book is published by Princeton University Press. Critic Reviews: "Argues that liberals and conservatives must realize that each camp is working for the same goal of a better nation... Dworkin's book deserves careful consideration and response."

(Michael Kinsley, The New York Times) Members Reviews: Circular and ideological Would you try another book from Ronald Dworkin and/or Michael Kramer? No! What was most disappointing about Ronald Dworkins story? No clear argument. So ideological that he can't even see that it is ideological. Dworkin takes it for granted that his perspective is correct simply because it is his. He does not seek arguments against his position and therefore makes no sound argument FOR his position. Considering he titled the book with a question, one expects a deliberated, clear and supported argument. I can't find it without extreme efforts toward bypassing his ideology to get to the meat. Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Michael Kramer? Mr. Kramer did a good narration EXCEPT for way too much hissing on his "s" sounds. For those who are affected by such white noise the way I am, he just puts you to sleep. What character would you cut from Is Democracy Possible Here?? Mr.
