Title: Gentrification Is Inevitable and Other Lies

Author: Leslie Kern

Narrator: Parmida Vand

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 8 hours 34 minutes

Release date: March 30, 2023

Ratings: Ratings of Book: 4 of Total 1

Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics

Publisher's Summary:

From the author of the best-selling Feminist City, this urbanite’s guide to gentrification knocks down the myths and exposes the forces behind the most urgent housing crisis of our time. Gentrification is no longer a phenomenon to be debated by geographers or downplayed by urban planners—it’s an experience lived and felt by working-class people everywhere. Leslie Kern travels to Toronto, Vancouver, New York, London, and Paris to look beyond the familiar and false stories we tell ourselves about class, money, and taste. What she brings back is an accessible, radical guide on the often-invisible forces that shape urban neighbourhoods: settler-colonialism, racism, sexism, ageism, ableism, and more. Gentrification is not inevitable if city lovers work together to turn the tide. Kern examines resistance strategies from around the world and calls for everyday actions that empower everyone, from displaced peoples to long-time settlers. We can mobilize, demand reparations, and rewrite the story from the ground up.

Title: Where To from Here: A Path to Canadian Prosperity

Author: Bill Morneau

Narrator: Bill Morneau

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 10 hours 50 minutes

Release date: March 30, 2023

Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics

Publisher's Summary:

Bill Morneau’s experience as Canada’s finance minister crystalized his vision for the country’s potential for growth and prosperity. Where To from Here looks backward with coolness and candor and forward with a fresh vision of all that Canada can — and must — become. Much of the world reacted with surprise and admiration to the results of the 2015 Canadian federal election and the makeup of the government it produced. Led by a young charismatic leader with a storied family legacy on Parliament Hill, the Liberal government scored a historic victory, rising from third-party status to substantial majority. With a gender-equal cabinet and an ambitious agenda, it heralded a new approach to the country’s federal politics. After an exciting and productive five years spent focused on domestic and global issues, Finance Minister Bill Morneau decided to take his leave from the same government. What prompted him to abandon one of the most powerful political offices in the country? How much of his decision was based on the often brutal give-and-take of politics? When did the penny drop, persuading one of Trudeau’s brightest lights to shift his talents and energies elsewhere? In his own persuasive voice, Bill Morneau paints a positive picture, tracing his widely lauded entry into the political arena, the arc of his career in politics, major accomplishments and missed opportunities, his surprising exit, and a host of revealing episodes between the events. Told with measures of both pride and regret, he explores personalities, achievements, and failures with candor. Morneau’s experience crystalized his vision for Canada and its potential for growth and prosperity. He shares a vision clearly and provocatively expressed, drafting a blueprint for the country’s future. Where To from Here looks backward with coolness and candor and forward with a fresh vision of all that Canada can — and must — become.

Não há dúvida: trata-se de verdadeira aula de teoria geral do Direito Civil, mas não de uma qualquer. É aula de mestre, de gênio. Se Augusto Teixeira de Freitas, nascido em 1816 e falecido em 1883, é quase unanimemente considerado o maior dos juristas brasileiros, a Nova Apostila, que o leitor tem em mãos, é seguramente um de seus textos mais brilhantes'.

Title: [Portuguese] - Psicologia Social e Lutas Anticapitalistas: diálogo com Projeto Ético-Político do Serviço Social

Author: Rogério Lustosa Bastos

Narrator: Voz Sintética

Format: Abridged Audiobook

Length: 11 hours 38 minutes

Release date: March 22, 2023

Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics

Publisher's Summary:

O livro que agora chega às mãos dos/as leitores/as é o resultado de um esforço coletivo dos/as professores/as Rogério Lustosa Bastos, Lizete Quelha de Souza, Mably Trindade, José Augusto Bisneto, João Batista Rezende e do assistente social Roberto Rodrigues Ribeiro. O título desta coletânea – Psicologia Social e Lutas Anticapitalistas: diálogo com o Projeto Ético-Político do Serviço Social – denota a intenção dos/as organizadores/as deste volume: provocar um debate entre a Psicologia e o Serviço Social a partir das lutas anticapitalistas, parametrado pelo Projeto Ético-Político do Serviço Social (PEP). Embora a centralidade do livro seja a Psicologia Social, a sua vinculação medular com as lutas anticapitalistas – um dos princípios do Projeto Ético-Político do Serviço Social, manifesto no seu compromisso com a classe trabalhadora e os processos emancipatórios na perspectiva de uma sociedade igualitária – perpassa toda a obra. Os diálogos aqui apresentados são preciosos. Espero que desbordem em profícuos debates, enriquecendo ambas as profissões e encharcando o Projeto Ético-Político do Serviço Social de novos subsídios para o enfrentamento dos desafios que se apresentam para aqueles/as comprometidos/as com as lutas anticapitalistas e que não se deixam enganar por eflúvios pós-modernos travestidos de marxismo.

Narrator: Klaus B. Wolf

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 6 hours 26 minutes

Release date: March 20, 2023

Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics

Publisher's Summary:

Als Russland am 24. Februar 2022 die Ukraine angriff, schien das großen Teilen der russischen Gesellschaft egal zu sein. Das ist nicht überraschend. Seit Jahren wird das russische Expansionsstreben davon begleitet, dass gesellschaftlich das Recht des Stärkeren gilt. Gewalt wird von vielen als Mittel der Politik akzeptiert. Gesine Dornblüth und Thomas Franke erklären, wie es dazu kommen konnte. Ihre Reportagen und Analysen führen uns durch drei Jahrzehnte, in denen nationalistische Kräfte über Verfechter demokratischer Werte die Oberhand gewannen. Dabei wird deutlich: Der zukünftige Frieden in Europa hängt davon ab, ob wir Russlands Gesellschaft richtig verstehen und entsprechend handeln.

Most lawyers enter the legal profession with laudable aspirations, but for many, those aspirations soon turn to disappointment, dissatisfaction, and burnout.

As lawyers, we are failing ourselves and our clients. But it doesn’t have to be this way. Change is possible, even extremely achievable, but momentum must begin within. In Unshackled, Paul Llewellyn reimagines the practice of law as a more humane and human-centered career, presenting a practical plan for improving the lives of lawyers and, in turn, improving their results and client satisfaction. After practicing criminal and civil law in England and California, Paul brings a unique perspective to an age-old problem: how to update an outdated system. A must-read for every lawyer and aspiring lawyer, Unshackled is a call to action for establishing a more service-oriented and satisfying profession.

Title: [Spanish] - Las siete mafias chilangas: ¿Quiénes realmente gobiernan realmente la CDMX?

Author: Sandra Romandía

Narrator: Rafa Serrano

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 5 hours 41 minutes

Release date: March 16, 2023

Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics

Publisher's Summary:

La vida cotidiana de los chilangos no está regida por las leyes. Está regida por las mafias. Día a día, lo sepan o no, los habitantes de la capital del país se someten a los dictados de mafiosos del agua, gangsters de los mercados, pandilleros del comercio, líderes de ambulantes, transportistas piratas, cárteles inmobiliarios, sindicatos tenebrosos y tratantes de personas… además de la delincuencia común. En la ciudad que alberga los poderes de la Unión, no se mueve una hoja sin que las mafias lo decidan. En esta obra, un grupo de periodistas de investigación analiza los siete flagelos a partir de los cuales se entiende el tamaño del problema. Van desentrañando, reportaje a reportaje, cómo es que el desastre actual del Metro –por ejemplo– sólo se explica a la luz de las facciones que se lo disputan; o cómo es que este pandemónium existe y se fortalece gracias al poder articulador del narcotráfico y la gigantesca y jugosa complicidad de las autoridades establecidas.
