Summary:

An Entertainment Weekly 30 Hottest Books of the Summer Selection  A Refinery29 25 Books Youll Want To Read This Summer Selection

One of todays most provocative literary writersthe author of the critically-acclaimed Sunshine State and the Los Angeles Times First Fiction Award finalist Binary Starcaptures the confused state of modern romance and the egos that inflate it in a dark comedy about a woman's search for acceptance, identity, and financial security in the rise of Trump.

Nina is a struggling writer, a college drop-out, a liar, and a cheater. More than anything she wants love. She deserves it.

From the burned-out suburbs of Florida to the anonymous squalor of New York City, she eats through an incestuous cast of characters in search of it: her mother, a narcissistic lesbian living in a nudist polycule; Odessa, a single mom with even worse taste in men than Nina; Seth, an artist whose latest show is comprised of three Tupperware containers full of trash; Brian, whose roller-coaster affair with Nina is the most stable relationship in his life; and Aaron, an aspiring filmmaker living at home with his parents, with whom Nina begins to write her magnum opus.

Ninas quest for fulfillment is at once darkly comedic, acerbically acute, and painfully humana scathing critique of contemporary society, and a tender examination of our anguished yearning for connection in an era defined by detachment.

Title: Say It Louder!: Black Voters, White Narratives, and Saving Our Democracy

Author: Tiffany Cross

Narrator: Leon Nixon, Tiffany Cross

Format: Unabridged

Length: 7:03:09

Language: English

Release date: 07-06-20

Publisher: HarperAudio

Genres: Biography & Memoir, Non-Fiction, Politics, Social Science, Political Ideologies

Summary:

A breakout media and political analyst delivers a sweeping snapshot of American Democracy and the role that African Americans have played in its shaping while offering concrete information to help harness the electoral power of the countrys rising majority and exposing political forces aligned to subvert and suppress Black voters.

Black voters were critical to the Democrats 2018 blue wave. In fact, 90 percent of Black voters supported Democratic House candidates, compared to just 53 percent of all voters. Despite media narratives, this was not a fluke. Throughout U.S. history, Black people have played a crucial role in the shaping of the American experiment. Yet still, this powerful voting bloc is often dismissed as some amorphous deviation, argues Tiffany Cross.

Say It Louder! is her explosive examination of how Americas composition was designed to exclude Black voters, but paradoxically would likely cease to exist without them. With multiple tentacles stretching into the cable news echo chamber, campaign leadership, and Black voter data, Cross creates a wrinkle in time with a reflective look at the timeless efforts endlessly attempting to deny people of color the right to votea basic tenet of American democracy. 

 And yet as the demographics of the country are changing, so too is the electoral power constructby evolution and by force, Cross declares. Grounded in the most-up-to-date research, Say It Louder! is a vital tool for a wide swath of constituencies.

Title: Apocalypse Never: Why Environmental Alarmism Hurts Us All

Author: Michael Shellenberger

Narrator: Stephen Graybill

Format: Unabridged

Length: 12:18:32

Language: English

Release date: 06-30-20

Publisher: HarperAudio

Genres: Politics, Science & Technology, Animals & Nature, Public Policy

Summary:

Now a National Bestseller! 

Climate change is real but its not the end of the world. It is not even our most serious environmental problem.

Michael Shellenberger has been fighting for a greener planet for decades. He helped save the worlds last unprotected redwoods. He co-created the predecessor to todays Green New Deal. And he led a successful effort by climate scientists and activists to keep nuclear plants operating, preventing a spike of emissions.

But in 2019, as some claimed billions of people are going to die, contributing to rising anxiety, including among adolescents, Shellenberger decided that, as a lifelong environmental activist, leading energy expert, and father of a teenage daughter, he needed to speak out to separate science from fiction.

Despite decades of news media attention, many remain ignorant of basic facts. Carbon emissions peaked and have been declining in most developed nations for over a decade. Deaths from extreme weather, even in poor nations, declined 80 percent over the last four decades. And the risk of Earth warming to very high temperatures is increasingly unlikely thanks to slowing population growth and abundant natural gas.

Curiously, the people who are the most alarmist about the problems also tend to oppose the obvious solutions.

Whats really behind the rise of apocalyptic environmentalism? There are powerful financial interests. There are desires for status and power. But most of all there is a desire among supposedly secular people for transcendence. This spiritual impulse can be natural and healthy. But in preaching fear without love, and guilt without redemption, the new religion is failing to satisfy our deepest psychological and existential needs.

Title: Shadow State: Murder, Mayhem, and Russia's Remaking of the West

Author: Luke Harding

Narrator: Nicholas Guy Smith

Format: Unabridged

Length: 12:47:04

Language: English

Release date: 06-30-20

Publisher: HarperAudio

Genres: Global Politics

Summary:

A thrilling account of how Russia is waging a hidden war against America and the West, using espionage, corruption, fake news, and KGB-style murder

March 2018. Two Russian assassins arrive in a provincial English city to kill a former officer from Russias GRU intelligence agency. His crime? Passing secrets to British spies. The poison? A lethal nerve agent, novichok. The attempted execution was a reminder as if one were needed - of Russias contempt for international norms. The Soviet Union and its doctrine are long gone, but the playbook used by the Kremlins spies during that long confrontation with the West is back. And the underlying goal remains the same: to undermine democracy and exploit divisions within American and European society and politics.

Moscows support for Donald Trump in the 2016 presidential election has grown into the biggest political scandal of modern times. Its American players are well-known. In Shadow State, award-winning journalist and bestselling author Luke Harding reveals the Russians behind the story: the spies, hackers and internet trolls. Harding charts how the Kremlin has updated Communist-era methods of influence and propaganda for the age of Facebook and Twitter, and considers the compelling question of our age: what exactly does Vladimir Putin have on President Trump?

Similar to those of the Cold War, Putins ambitions are truly global. His emissaries include oligarchs, bankers, lawyers, mercenaries, and agents of influence. They roam from Salisbury to Helsinki, Ukraine to Central Africa, London to Washington, D.C. Shadow State is the singular account of how the Kremlin seeks to reshape the world, to divide the US from its European friends, and to remake America in its own dark and kleptocratic image. This is an essential read for anyone who wants to understand how our politics came to be so chaotic and divided. Nothing less than the future of Western democracy is at stake.
