Title: Inside Teaching: How Classroom Life Undermines Reform Author: Mary Kennedy Narrator: Lynne Ennis Format: Unabridged Length: 9 hrs and 15 mins Language: English Release date: 09-05-12 Publisher: University Press Audiobooks Ratings: 3 of 5 out of 3 votes Genres: Nonfiction, Politics Publisher's Summary: Reform the schools, improve teaching: these battle cries of American education have been echoing for 20 years. So why does teaching change so little? Arguing that too many would-be reformers know nothing about the conflicting demands of teaching, Mary Kennedy takes us into the controlled commotion of the classroom, revealing how painstakingly teachers plan their lessons, and how many different ways things go awry. Teachers try simultaneously to keep track of materials, time, students, and ideas. In their effort to hold all of these things together, they can inadvertently quash students' enthusiasm and miss valuable teachable moments. Kennedy argues that pedagogical reform proposals that do not acknowledge all of the things teachers need to do are bound to fail. If reformers want students to learn, they must address all of the problems teachers face, not just those that interest them. The book is published by Harvard University Press. Critic Reviews: "Inside Teaching is an important read for policy makers and other decision makers; it is a reminder that genuine education is a complex and fragile process that takes into account the idea that every student is a valuable contributor to the world and not a product to be assembled." (Sergio Mora, Childhood Education) An absolutely outstanding book, and a major contribution to the literature on teaching. (Richard F. Elmore, Harvard Graduate School of Education) "A wonderful new book..." (Teacher's Magazine)

Title: Divider-in-Chief Subtitle: The Fraud of Hope and Change Author: Kate Obenshain Narrator: Nicole Vilencia Format: Unabridged Length: 8 hrs and 11 mins Language: English Release date: 09-04-12 Publisher: Blackstone Audio, Inc. Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 7 votes Genres: Nonfiction, Politics Publisher's Summary: When Barack Obama ran on a platform of "hope and change" four years ago, he promised to unite the country. But as Kate Obenshain reveals in Divider-in-Chief, Obama has done exactly the opposite. Rather than seeking common sense, pro-American solutions, he has pursued far-left policies, a radical leftist agenda, and an attitude thats both condescending and dismissive of Main Street America. As a result, America has become a nation of even greater polarization and disillusionment. In Divider-in-Chief, Obenshain exposes how Obama pushed for the HHS mandate, forcing people of faith to violate their conscience; how Obama has condoned the actions of Occupy Wall Street, saying, "You are the reason I ran for office," while he vilifies free markets and businessmen across America; how Obama seizes on opportunities to highlight racial discord and then accuses any critic of being "a racist"; and that, although Obama ran as a champion for the downtrodden, the unemployment rate is disproportionately high among minorities and women. Obenshain paints a picture of a president who promotes class warfare, aggravating racial, gender, and economic differences in order to advance his ideological agenda. Searing and controversial, Divider-in-Chief makes the case that we must defeat Barack Obama before he tears our nation apart. Kate Obenshain, a rising star in the conservative movement, was the chairman of the Republican Party of Virginia and is now the vice president of the Young Americas Foundation and a respected board member of the Clare Boothe Luce Policy Institute. She travels across the country speaking on college campuses, at Tea Party rallies, and special events. She is also a regular Fox News contributor and has appeared on numerous cable news shows. Critic Reviews: "Kate Obenshains new book Divider-in-Chief is an outstanding exposé of the hypocrisy, cynicism, and, extremism of the Obama administration. He claimed to be a uniter, but Kates book identifies where and how he has been the ultimate divider of Americans. If Obama is shown the door after the 2012 election, Kates book will be one of the reasons why everyone needs to read this before November!" (Sean Hannity, host of Hannitys America)

Title: The Brief Against Obama Subtitle: The Rise, Fall, & Epic Fail of the Hope & Change Presidency Author: Hugh Hewitt Narrator: Jeremy Wesley Format: Unabridged Length: 6 hrs and 57 mins Language: English Release date: 07-13-12 Publisher: Hachette Audio Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 13 votes Genres: Nonfiction, Politics Publisher's Summary: Voters can do nothing until they have the facts - the hard, cold, true facts, and that is what Hugh Hewitt provides in The Brief Against Obama: The Rise, Fall & Epic Fail of the Hope & Change Presidency. Hugh makes the case that Obama's has been a disastrous presidency, a fiasco in fact, and reveals the president to be a wholly unprepared and incapable-of-learning ideologue whose nearly every move has been wrong, and whose almost every decision has been ill-conceived and poorly executed. But for the SEALs' dispatch of bin Laden and the military's removal of al-Awalki and other terrorists - whom the president still seeks to remove from Gitmo to domestic courts in the United States - Obama would be wholly without anything to claim as an achievement of his time in the Oval Office. In addition to the monumental failures of Obamacare, the soaring unemployment rate, the 2009 "stimulus" and the massive debt, Hugh Hewitt examines the scores and scores of broken promises and fraudulent forecasts, dozens of dodges and hundreds of disastrous innovations that President Obama has inflicted on America. It has been a reign of incompetency not before seen in the country - ever. According to Hewitt, President Obama is not just a failed president, but the most spectacularly failed president of modern times, and Hewitt's precise and lawyerly indictment is made to help the American people see what has happened, and what desperately needs to be done in the upcoming election. The path for the American people is clear and urgent: Barack Obama mustn't be allowed to run the country into the ground as the Commander-in-Chief for four more years.

Title: Showdown: Why China Wants War With the United States Author: Jed Babbin, Edward Timperlake Narrator: Thomas E. Olejniczak Format: Unabridged Length: 5 hrs Language: English Release date: 06-23-12 Publisher: Regnery Publishing Ratings: 3 of 5 out of 9 votes Genres: Nonfiction, Politics Publisher's Summary: Are China and the United States headed for war? Yes, say best-selling authors Jed Babbin (former deputy undersecretary of defense) and Edward Timperlake (veteran defense analyst) in this riveting new book that takes you from the latest developments in China's quest to become a superpower to the possible battlefields of what might become World War III. Babbin and Timperlake unveil China's aggressive military buildup (more rapid than that of Nazi Germany before World War II) and expose how China is engaging in a new Cold War aimed at expanding its commercial and military reach at the expense of the United States. Babbin (a former Air Force JAG) and Timperlake (a former Marine fighter pilot) do more than offer expert analysis. In dramatic Clancy-esque style, they take you into the field with Navy SEALs and Air Force bomber pilots, invite you inside the war councils at the White House and the Pentagon, and peer within China's own Politburo in an exciting - and all too likely - series of war scenarios.

Title: Quarterly Essay 1: In Denial Subtitle: The Stolen Generations and the Right Author: Robert Manne Narrator: Robert Manne Format: Unabridged Length: 4 hrs and 22 mins Language: English Release date: 05-16-12 Publisher: Bolinda Publishing Pty Ltd Ratings: 3 of 5 out of 1 votes Genres: Nonfiction, Politics Publisher's Summary: In this national best seller, Robert Mane attacks the right-wing campaign against the "Bringing Them Home" report that revealed how thousands of Aborigines had been taken from their parents. What was the role of Paddy McGuinness as editor of Quadrant? How reliable was the evidence that led newspaper columnists from Piers Akerman in the Sydney Daily Telegraph to Andrew Bolt in the Melbourne Herald Sun to deny the gravity of the injustice done? In a powerful indictment of past government policies towards the Aborigines, Robert Manne has written a brilliant polemical essay which doubles as a succinct history of how Aborigines were mistreated and an exposure of the ignorance of those who want to deny that history.

Emmett Tyrrell Narrator: Jim Bond Format: Unabridged Length: 4 hrs and 13 mins Language: English Release date: 05-08-12 Publisher: Brilliance Audio Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 13 votes Genres: Nonfiction, Politics Publisher's Summary: Americas founders risked their lives to give us a republic - and dared us to keep it. But for more than a century, an insidious force has done its worst to rip the republic asunder: a movement of elites, academes, and politicians bent on reshaping the nation in the image of Marx, Rousseau, and - somewhat comically - Mussolini. In this lively obituary, R. Emmett Tyrrell, Jr., founder and editor-in-chief of the American Spectator, chronicles: While Liberalism is effectively kaput, it is up to an engaged citizenry to hammer home the final coffin nails. The citizenry must affirm timeless republican values and constitutional ideals - in our neighborhoods, workplaces, ballparks, and especially at the ballot box - to ensure that this destructive movement rests in as much peace as it deserves. Critic Reviews: No columnist, no author, has had a greater influence upon the course of American political history over the past decade than that ribald contrarian, R. Emmett Tyrrell, Jr. Even the slain giants die laughing. (Tom Wolfe, author of I Am Charlotte Simmons and A Man in Full)

Title: Anticapitalism: Bolinda Beginner Guides Author: Simon Tormey Narrator: Adrian Mulraney Format: Unabridged Length: 7 hrs and 52 mins Language: English Release date: 04-04-12 Publisher: Bolinda Publishing Pty Ltd Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 4 votes Genres: Nonfiction, Politics Publisher's Summary: A refreshing take on the anti-capital movement, with developed and down-to-earth ideas on alternatives from modern capitalism. Every aspect of the anti-capitalist world is covered in this helpful guide, from WOMBLES to Zapatistas, NGOs to environmentalism, Paris 1968 to Seattle, and beyond. Picking up where Naomi Klein left off, this is not so much a manifesto as a roadmap, which captures the essence of the movement, and also articulates a range of possibilities for future alternatives to the corporate domination of our planet. Editorial Reviews: Adrian Mulraneys casually professorial tone engages the listener from the first line in Simon Tormeys astute and intelligent overview of an increasingly relevant topic in the the current geopolitical climate. Tormey uses the basic definition of the term capitalism as a springboard in his examination of how the dominant economic system in the world has fostered disillusionment in some and spawned countless movements ranging from anarchy and environmentalism. Far from a Marxist polemic, Tormey provides an insightful and objective starting point for understanding a complex and controversial movement, and Mulraneys calm, distinguished delivery makes for easy listening.

Over the course of a long winter and into the spring, the contest for the 2012 Republican presidential nomination gathered steam and bubbled over with drama.

How did Newt Gingrich throw the preternaturally poised Romney off his game in South Carolinaand who convinced the former Massachusetts governor it was time to start punching back? Why were the other campaigns caught flat-footed by the rise of Rick Santorum and what does his unlikely ascent mean for the prospect of a brokered convention? From the Iowa caucuses to Super Tuesday and beyond, Allen and Thomas answer all the questions the headlines, polls, and delegate counts cant address. The stakes are high, the plotlines are still unfolding, and "Inside the Circus" is your fly-on-the-wall guide to the most fascinating Republican presidential race in recent memory.

Title: Common Nonsense Subtitle: Glenn Beck and the Triumph of Ignorance Author: Alexander Zaitchik Narrator: Tom Dheere Format: Unabridged Length: 9 hrs and 53 mins Language: English Release date: 12-30-11 Publisher: John Wiley & Sons, Inc. Ratings: 2.5 of 5 out of 14 votes Genres: Nonfiction, Politics Publisher's Summary: Who is this guy and why are people listening? Forget Rush Limbaugh, Bill O'Reilly, and Sean Hannity--Glenn Beck is the Rights new media darling and the unofficial leader of the conservative grassroots. Lampooned by the Left and Lionized by the far Right, his bluster-and-tears brand of political commentary has commandeered attention on both sides of the aisle. Glenn Beck has emerged over the last decade as a unique and bizarre conservative icon for the new century. He encourages his listeners to embrace a cynical paranoia that slides easily into a fantasyland filled with enemies that do not exist and solutions that are incoherent, at best. Since the election of President Barack Obama, Becks bombastic, conspiratorial, and often viciously personal approach to political combat has made him one of the most controversial figures in the history of American broadcasting. In Common Nonsense, investigative reporter Alexander Zaitchik explores Beck's strange brew of ratings lust, boundless ego, conspiratorial hard-right politics, and gimmicky morning-radio entertainment chops. Separates the facts from the fiction, following Beck from his troubled childhood to his recent rise to the top of the conservative media heap. Zaitchik's recent three-part series in Salon caused so much buzz, Beck felt the need to attack it on his show. Based on Zaitchik's interviews with former Beck coworkers and review of countless Beck writings and television and radio shows. Explains why Beck is always crying, why he has so many conservative enemies, why he's driven by conspiracy theories, and why he's dangerous to the health of the republic. A contributing writer to Alternet, Zaitchik's reporting has appeared in the New Republic, the Nation, Salon, Wired, Reason, and The Believer.
