Browning Narrator: Peter Ganim Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 4 hours 21 minutes Release date: June 1, 2021 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: International security is never out of the headlines. War and peace, military strategy, the proliferation of nuclear weapons and revisionist states remain central to the discussion, but concerns such as climate change, migration, poverty, health, and international terrorism have complicated the field. So what really matters: the traditional prioritization of state security or the security needs of individuals, humanity, and the biosphere? Using a broad range of international examples, Christopher Browning outlines the nature of the key debates about contemporary international security challenges, and discusses the inherent difficulties that exist in tackling them. He also asks to what extent such debates are infused with questions of power, politics, justice, morality, and responsibility.

Title: The World Trade Organization: A Very Short Introduction Author: Amrita Narlikar Narrator: Elisabeth Rodgers Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 5 hours 12 minutes Release date: May 25, 2021 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: The World Trade Organization (WTO) is scarcely ten years old, but even in these early years of its existence it has generated debate, controversy, and even outrage. Rulings on beef hormones and tuna-dolphin cases provide graphic examples of how the organization regulates and intrudes into areas of individual consumer choice, ethical preferences, and cultural habits. This deep and far-ranging impact of the WTO on peoples' everyday lives means that it is not just an institution of interest to economists, but to everyone, a fact that was perhaps most graphically illustrated in the popular demonstrations at the 1999 Seattle Ministerial. Such protests have become a regular feature associated with most high-level meetings of the WTO. This Very Short Introduction will provide a timely and carefully considered explanation of what the WTO is, what it does, and how it goes about executing its tasks. A clear understanding of the mandate, structure, and functioning of the WTO is essential to appreciate the controversy behind the organization, and how far it deserves the reputation that it has come to acquire.

Edward White Narrator: Jason Huggins Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 4 hours 33 minutes Release date: May 25, 2021 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 5 of Total 1 Ratings of Narrator: 5 of Total 1 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: Law has played a central role in American history. From colonial times to the present, law has not just reflected the changing society in which legal decisions have been made—it has played a powerful role in shaping that society, though not always in positive ways. Eminent legal scholar G. Edward White offers a compact overview that sheds light on the impact of law on a number of key social issues. The book traces important threads woven throughout our nation's past, looking at how law shaped Native American affairs, slavery, business, and home life, as well as how it has dealt with criminal and civil offenses. Likewise, law initially legitimated slavery in the United States, and legal institutions, including the Supreme Court, failed to resolve the tensions stirred up by the westward expansion of slavery, eventually sparking the Civil War. White also looks at the expansion of laws regarding property rights, which were vitally important to the colonists, many of whom left Europe hoping to become land owners; the evolution of criminal punishment from a public display (the stocks, the gallows) to a private prison system; the rise of tort law after the Civil War; and the progress in legal education, moving from informal apprenticeships and lax standards to modern law schools and rigorous bar exams.

Title: Reform or Revolution Author: Rosa Luxemburg Narrator: Sam Marseille Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 2 hours 55 minutes Release date: May 23, 2021 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 5 of Total 1 Ratings of Narrator: 5 of Total 1 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: ‘Reform or Revolution’, also titled ‘Social Reform or Revolution?’ is an 1899 pamphlet by Polish-German Marxist theorist Rosa Luxemburg, in which she argues that trade unions, reformist political parties and the expansion of social democracy would not create a socialist society as Eduard Bernstein, among others, argued. She contends from a historical materialist perspective that capitalism, being economically unsustainable, would eventually collapse. She believed that a revolution was necessary to transform capitalism into socialism. The pamphlet was influential in revolutionary socialist circles and an important precursor to left communist theory.

How do you identify a serial killer? What are the tell-tale signs of guilt? Can we now solve the unsolvable? Since even before the first season of Silent Witness in 1996, forensic science has played an increasingly important role in the investigation of violent crimes. With a boom in cold-blooded cases throughout the 1980s, police began to rely on DNA evidence to help them find perpetrators and since then forensic science has taken off as a powerful tool in solving murders. Bestselling true crime author Wensley Clarkson takes us beyond the headlines to examine the real-life stories where forensics have played a crucial role. He speaks to experts who have worked on the most gruesome, most chilling and most shocking crime scenes and explains how notorious criminal cases from across the world were solved. And he shows how the silent witness is often the one who screams the loudest.

Title: No Place To Go: How Public Toilets Fail Our Private Needs Author: Lezlie Lowe Narrator: Amanda Wood Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 6 hours 15 minutes Release date: May 15, 2021 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: This book is Number One in addressing the politics of where we're allowed to 'go' in public. Adults don't talk about the business of doing our business. We work on one assumption: the world of public bathrooms is problem- and politics-free. No Place To Go: How Public Toilets Fail our Private Needs reveals the opposite is true. No Place To Go is a toilet tour from London to San Francisco to Toronto and beyond. From pay potties to deserted alleyways, No Place To Go is a marriage of urbanism, social narrative, and pop culture that shows the ways - momentous and mockable - public bathrooms just don't work. Like, for the homeless, who, faced with no place to go sometimes literally take to the streets. (Ever heard of a municipal poop map?) For people with invisible disabilities, such as Crohn's disease, who stay home rather than risk soiling themselves on public transit routes. For girls who quit sports teams because they don't want to run to the edge of the pitch to pee. Celebrities like Lady Gaga and Bruce Springsteen have protested bathroom bills that will stomp on the rights of transpeople. And where was Hillary Clinton after she arrived back to the stage late after the first commercial break of the live-televised Democratic leadership debate in December 2015? Stuck in a queue for the women's bathroom. Peel back the layers on public bathrooms and it's clear many more people want for good access than have it. Public bathroom access is about cities, society, design, movement, and equity. The real question is: Why are public toilets so crappy?

Title: [Portuguese] - Os engenheiros do caos: Como as fake news, as teorias da conspiração e os algoritmos estão sendo utilizados para disseminar ódio, medo e influenciar eleições Author: Giuliano Da Empoli Narrator: Luciano Andrey Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 5 hours 2 minutes Release date: May 7, 2021 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: 'Uma mentira pode dar a volta ao mundo no mesmo tempo que a verdade leva para calçar seus sapatos.' Mark Twain Aos olhos dos seus eleitores, as deficiências dos líderes populistas se transformam em qualidades, sua inexperiência demonstra que não pertencem ao círculo da 'velha política', e sua incompetência é uma garantia da sua autenticidade. As tensões que causam em nível internacional são vistas como mostras de sua independência, e as fake News, marca inequívoca de sua propaganda, evidenciam sua liberdade de pensamento. No mundo de Donald Trump, Boris Johnson, Matteo Salvini e Jair Bolsonaro, cada dia traz sua própria gafe, sua própria polêmica, seu próprio golpe brilhante. No entanto, por trás das manifestações desenfreadas do carnaval populista, está o trabalho árduo de ideólogos e, cada vez mais, de cientistas e especialistas do Big Data, sem os quais esses líderes nunca teriam chegado ao poder. É o retrato desses engenheiros do caos que Giuliano da Empoli nos apresenta, através de uma investigação ampla e contundente que vai muito além do caso Cambridge Analytica e remonta ao início dos anos 2000, quando o movimento populista global, hoje em pleno curso, dava seus primeiros passos na Itália. O resultado é uma galeria de personagens variados, quase todos desconhecidos do público em geral, mas que vêm mudando as regras do jogo político e a face das nossas sociedades.

Title: The Bully Pulpit: Theodore Roosevelt and the Golden Age of Journalism Author: Doris Kearns Goodwin Narrator: Edward Herrmann Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 36 hours 41 minutes Release date: May 6, 2021 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 4 of Total 1 Ratings of Narrator: 4 of Total 1 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: Brought to you by Penguin. Doris Kearns Goodwin, author of the acclaimed multi-million copy bestseller Team of Rivals, filmed by Spielberg as Lincoln, turns to the birth of America's Progressive Era - that heady, optimistic time when the 20th Century is fresh. Reform is in the air, and it is time to take on the robber barons and corrupt politicians who have brought the country to its knees. The story is told through the close friendship between two Presidents: Theodore Roosevelt (1901-1909) and his handpicked successor William Howard Taft (1909-1913). The decades-long intimacy strengthens both men as they reform America, breaking up monopolies, protecting the rights of labour, banning unsafe drugs and closing sweatshops. Also at the heart of the story are the original 'muckrakers' - a brilliant group of investigative journalists at the celebrated magazine McClure's. They publish popular exposes of fraudulent railroads and millionaire senators, aiding Roosevelt in his quest for change and fairness. As Roosevelt, Taft and the muckrakers confront corruption and expose exploitation, America is reborn. © Doris Kearns Goodwin 2013 (P) Penguin Audio 2021
