Length: 08:15:53

Language: English

Release date: 05-24-22

Publisher: Blackstone Audiobooks

Genres: Biography & Memoir, Health & Wellness, Parenting, Women

Summary:

Its hardly newsworthy when a man walks out on his family. But its rather unusual for a mother to walk out, leaving the father to bring up their sixteen-year-old daughterand downright scandalous for said Irish Catholic mother to move into the house next door to start a new life with a bunch of hot male students at the age of sixty.

No one can accuse Diane Danvers Simmons of telling a familiar story. Instead she offers a wickedly witty, candid, irreverent, British coming-of-age story with a fresh take on maternal abandonment.

In My Mother Next Door, she shares the life lessons learned growing up in the revolutionary 1970s while her narcissistic mother charted her own unfathomable course to independence and freedom.

After living in America for decades and becoming a mother herself, Diane journeys back through the madness of her early years, coming to terms with a comical, painful family history but also celebrating the strength and humor it has given her to face the absurdity of life

In trying to understand what drove her mother to become the woman next door, Diane discovers new respect, love, and even forgiveness: the root of our humanity.

Title: 1215 and All That: Magna Carta and King John

Author: Ed West

Narrator: Steven Crossley

Format: Unabridged

Length: 05:48:46

Language: English

Release date: 05-24-22

Publisher: Blackstone Audiobooks

Genres: History, Europe

Summary:

1215 is one of the most famous dates in English history, and with good reason, since it marks the signing of the Magna Carta by King John and the English barons, which altered the entire course of English and world history.

John Lackland was born to King Henry II and Eleanor, Duchess of Aquitane in December, 1166; he was the youngest of five sons. However, he unexpectedly became the favored heir to his father after a failed rebellion by his older brothers in 1173. He became king in 1199, though his reign was tumultuous and short. After a brief peace with Phillip II of France, war broke out again in 1202 and King John lost most of his holdings on the continent. This, coupled with unpopular fiscal policies and treatment of nobles back home, led to conflict upon his return from battle. Buffeted from all sides, King John was pushed in 1215 to sign, along with his barons, the Magna Carta, a precursor to constitutional governance. But both sides failed to uphold the agreements terms and conflict quickly resumed, leading to Johns untimely death a year later to dysentery.

Pitched at newcomers to the subject, 1215 and All That will explain how King Johns rule and, in particular, his signing of the Magna Carta changed Englandand the Englishforever, introducing listeners to the early days of medieval England. It is the third book in the acclaimed A Very, Very Short History of England series, which captures the major moments of English history with humor and bite.

Summary:

An enthralling story of revolution, idealism, and a savage struggle for utopia by one of China's greatest living novelists

In 1898 reformist intellectuals in China persuaded the young emperor that it was time to transform his sclerotic empire into a prosperous modern state. The Hundred Days Reform that followed was a moment of unprecedented change and extraordinary hopebrought to an abrupt end by a bloody military coup. Dashed expectations would contribute to the revolutionary turn that Chinese history would soon take, leading in time to the deaths of millions.

Peach Blossom Paradise, set at the time of the reform, is the story of Xiumi, the daughter of a wealthy landowner and former government official who falls prey to insanity and disappears. Days later, a man with a gold cicada in his pocket turns up at their family estate and is inexplicably welcomed as a relative. This mysterious man has a great vision of reforging China as an egalitarian utopia, and he will stop at nothing to make it real. It is his own plans, however, which come to nothing, and his little sister Xiumi is left to take up arms against a Confucian world in which women are chattel. Her campaign for change and her struggle to seize control over her own body are continually threatened by the violent whims of men who claim to be building paradise.

Title: Bad News: How Woke Media Is Undermining Democracy

Author: Batya Ungar-Sargon

Format: Unabridged

Length: 07:49:44

Language: English

Release date: 05-24-22

Publisher: Blackstone Audiobooks

Genres: American Politics

Summary:

Something is wrong with American journalism. Long before fake news became the calling card of the Right, Americans had lost faith in their news media. But lately, the feeling that something is off has become impossible to ignore. Thats because the majority of our mainstream news is no longer just liberal; its woke. Todays newsrooms are propagating radical ideas that were fringe as recently as a decade ago, including antiracism, intersectionality, open borders, and critical race theory. How did this come to be?

It all has to do with who our news media is written byand who it is written for. In Bad News: How Woke Media Is Undermining Democracy, Batya Ungar-Sargon reveals how American journalism underwent a status revolution over the twentieth centuryfrom a blue-collar trade to an elite profession. As a result, journalists shifted their focus away from the working class and toward the concerns of their affluent, highly educated peers. With the rise of the Internet and the implosion of local news, Americas elite news media became nationalized and its journalists affluent and ideological. And where once business concerns provided a countervailing force to push back against journalists worst tendencies, the pressures of the digital media landscape now align corporate incentives with newsroom crusades.

The truth is, the moral panic around race, encouraged by todays elite newsrooms, does little more than consolidate the power of liberal elites and protect their economic interests. And in abandoning the working class by creating a culture war around identity, our national media is undermining American democracy. Bad News explains how this happened, why it happened, and the dangers posed by this development if it continues unchecked.
