Sí, claro Author: Gonzalo Boye Narrator: Jesús Brotóns Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 9 hours 32 minutes Release date: July 15, 2022 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: Despúes de los exitos de ...Y ahí lo dejo. Crónica de un proceso y Así están las cosas, llega ¿Cloacas? Si, claro, la crónica del tercer año en el caso del Procés y la defensa del exilio. Son muchos quienes le preguntan a Gonzalo Boye cuándo terminará todo, su respuesta sigue siendo: la verdad, lo desconozco, pero sí hay algo que tengo claro: a medida que avanzamos, es que se va demostrando que la estrategia fue la correcta, tal vez la única viable, y que las tácticas, las incidencias y los momentos, no pueden desviarnos del objetivo planteado desde un comienzo. Ahora, cuando tres de sus defendidos son ya eurodiputados – algo que todos ponían en duda y que fue fuente de muchas burlas, toca avanzar en la consolidación de la estrategia legal diseñada y, poco a poco, se irán cumpliendo etapas cuyo desarrollo y desenlace se producirá en Europa que es hacia dónde siempre Gonzalo Boye dijo que había que llevar este caso. Los intentos por impedir que se implemente esta estrategia jurídica no han sido ni serán pocos y muchas veces se recurrirá a métodos ilegales, inmorales e impropios de un estado democrático y de derecho para intentar pararnos con el costo personal que ello conllevará. Sin embargo, nada de lo que hagan, y que veremos en este año, podrá detener algo que es superior a la voluntad política de quienes no creen en la democracia. - Gonzalo Boye, nació en 1965 en Viña Del Mar (Chile) habiendo vivido en Alemania, Inglaterra y España; casado y padre de tres hijas. Pasó 7 años 11 meses y 23 día en prisión, tiempo que aprovechó para realizar la carrera de derecho y desde 2003 ejerce como abogado especializado en derecho penal y penal internacional. Ha sido miembro del Independent Fact Finding Committee de la Liga de Estados Árabes, del Comité de la FIFA para el conflicto entre Palestina e Israel, es Director Jurídico de la Federación Palestina de Fútbol y asesora, en materia de derecho internacional, a diversos gobiernos. Desde octubre de 2017 coordina la defensa internacional de los miembros del Gobierno del President Carles Puigdemont que se encuentran en el exilio. Este es su cuarto libro que publica en este sello editorial.

Ninety Days provides a blow-by-blow account of how the Special Investigation Team of the CBI cracked the assassination plot, identified the assassins and chased the mastermind, Sivarasan, to his final hideout. The deaths from cyanide consumption of the members of the hit squad left several unanswered questions in their wake, which this book explores.

Title: Pakistan's Pathway to the Bomb: Ambitions, Politics, and Rivalries Author: Mansoor Ahmed Narrator: Tom Perkins Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 12 hours 26 minutes Release date: July 12, 2022 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: Pakistan's pathway to developing nuclear weapons remains shrouded in mystery and surrounded by misconceptions. While it is no secret why Pakistan became a nuclear power, how Pakistan became a nuclear state has been obscured by mythmaking. In Pakistan's Pathway to the Bomb, Mansoor Ahmed offers a revisionist history of Pakistan's nuclear program and the bureaucratic politics that shaped its development from its inception in 1956 until the 1998 nuclear tests. Drawing on elite interviews and previously untapped primary sources, Ahmed offers a fresh assessment of the actual and perceived roles and contributions of the scientists and engineers who led the nuclear program. He shows how personal ambitions and politics within Pakistan's strategic enclave generated inter-laboratory competition in the nuclear establishment, which determined nuclear choices for the country for more than two decades. It also produced unexpected consequences such as illicit proliferation to other countries largely outside of the Pakistani state's control. As Pakistan's nuclear deterrent program continues to grow, Pakistan's Pathway to the Bomb provides fresh insights into how this nuclear power has evolved in the past and where it stands today.

Title: Overcoming Capitalism: Strategy for the Working Class in the 21st Century Author: Tom Wetzel Narrator: Jonathan Yen Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 17 hours 46 minutes Release date: July 12, 2022 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: A new, inclusive union movement with a contemporary vision and an eye toward building social and economic power can remake society. The book is a twenty-first century reworking of the approach to unionism. The United States has a dramatic history of workers organizing on the job. In the last seventy odd years labor organizations have made peace with owners, and wages, various protections, and safety has diminished. All during an era that, despite its ups and downs, has been extremely profitable for the ownership class. Tom Wetzel provides a solution to that failure by showing how a democratic outcome can be built into the method of struggle for social change, giving working people the means to ensure they will end up in control of the labor process and will build a from-the-bottom-up eco-socialism. But this isn't the old white-guy-in-a-hard-hat unionism of the previous century. The working class has changed. Life under capitalism has changed. How we think about unionism must also change. While the political and capitalist class wring their hands over the environmental crisis and economic inequality we can see the immediate appeal of a union movement with an expanded mission to wrest control from the wealthy and powerful before they cost-shift us into extinction.

Economy Narrator: Charles Constant Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 9 hours 16 minutes Release date: July 12, 2022 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 5 of Total 2 Ratings of Narrator: 5 of Total 1 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: An economic and military superpower with twenty percent of the world's population, China has the wherewithal to transform the international system. Xi Jinping's bold calls for China to 'lead in the reform of the global governance system' suggest that he has just such an ambition. But how does he plan to realize it? And what does it mean for the rest of the world? In this compelling book, Elizabeth Economy reveals China's ambitious new strategy to reclaim the country's past glory and reshape the geostrategic landscape in dramatic new ways. Xi's vision is one of Chinese centrality on the global stage, in which the mainland has realized its sovereignty claims over Hong Kong, Taiwan, and the South China Sea, deepened its global political, economic, and security reach through its grand-scale Belt and Road Initiative, and used its leadership in the United Nations and other institutions to align international norms and values, particularly around human rights, with those of China. It is a world radically different from that of today. The international community needs to understand and respond to the great risks, as well as the potential opportunities, of a world rebuilt by China.

Ochlan Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 7 hours 37 minutes Release date: July 12, 2022 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: Public opinion polling is the ultimate democratic process; it gives every person an equal voice in letting elected leaders know what they need and want. But in the eyes of the public, polls today are tarnished. Recent election forecasts have routinely missed the mark and media coverage of polls has focused solely on predicting winners and losers. In Strength in Numbers, data journalist G. Elliott Morris argues that the larger purpose of political polls is to improve democracy, not just predict elections. Whether used by interest groups, the press, or politicians, polling serves as a pipeline from the governed to the government, giving citizens influence they would otherwise lack. No one who believes in democracy can afford to give up on polls; they should commit, instead, to understanding them better. Morris takes listeners from the first semblance of data-gathering in the ancient world through to the development of modern-day scientific polling. He explains how the internet and 'big data' have solved many challenges in polling—and created others. He covers the rise of polling aggregation and methods of election forecasting, reveals how data can be distorted and misrepresented, and demystifies the uncertainty of polling. Acknowledging where polls have gone wrong in the past, Morris charts a path for the industry's future.

Title: America's Great-Power Opportunity: Revitalizing U.S. Foreign Policy to Meet the Challenges of Strategic Competition Author: Ali Wyne Narrator: Tristan Morris Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 7 hours 51 minutes Release date: July 12, 2022 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 5 of Total 1 Ratings of Narrator: 5 of Total 1 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: It has become axiomatic to contend that U.S. foreign policy must adapt to an era of renewed 'great-power competition.' The United States went on a quarter-century strategic detour after the Cold War, the argument goes, basking in triumphalism and getting bogged down in the Middle East. Now China and Russia are increasingly challenging its influence and undercutting the order it has led since 1945. How should it respond to these two formidable authoritarian powers? In this timely intervention, Ali Wyne offers the first detailed critique of great-power competition as a foreign policy framework, warning that it could render the United States defensive and reactive. He exhorts Washington to find a middle ground between complacence and consternation, selectively contesting Beijing and Moscow but not allowing their decisions to determine its own course. Analyzing a resurgent China, a disruptive Russia, and a deepening Sino-Russian entente, Wyne explains how the United States can seize the 'great-power opportunity' at hand: to manage all three of those phenomena confidently while renewing itself at home and abroad.

Title: We'll Be Back: The Fall and Rise of America Author: Kurt Schlichter Narrator: Damon Abernathy Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 9 hours 15 minutes Release date: July 12, 2022 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 5 of Total 2 Ratings of Narrator: 5 of Total 1 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: Humor and polemics from one of America's most quotable pundits. A call for renewal and a howl of laughter and derision at the woke mob that seeks to stand in the way of a great nation's patriotic resurgence. Fans of Mark Levin, Matt Walsh, and Ben Shapiro will love it! In 1991, the smoldering ruins of Saddam Hussein’s regime testified to America’s unchallenged might. Having defeated one of the world’s largest armies in a matter of days, the United States looked forward to a new century of peace and prosperity. Thirty years later, a ragtag Taliban chased us out of Afghanistan in a humiliating rout. At home, our cities are cesspools of homelessness and crime. The former land of opportunity seems to be in irreversible decline. How did we suffer such an unimaginable fall? And is our current impotence permanent? With his trademark wit, Kurt Schlichter—warrior, lawyer, and commentator—makes a compelling case that America’s decline is not irreversible. No Pollyanna, he offers a sobering catalogue of the dangers ahead, from subjugation to China to the poverty of socialism. Even civil war. But Schlichter was among the U.S. forces that took down the tyrant of Iraq in 1991. Having seen American greatness in action and appreciating the virtues that produced it, he knows that decline is a choice—a choice that we need not make. Sometimes mordant, often humorous, always incisive, Schlichter shows that our resilience is far from spent. American society is uniquely blessed with the ingredients of greatness. A pushback is coming. Schlichter offers no guarantees but something more important—hope.
