Author: Elena Garro

Narrator: Astrid Mariel Romo

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 5 hours 4 minutes

Release date: March 30, 2023

Genres: The Americas

Publisher's Summary:

«Ningún lector podrá permanecer indiferente después de conocer a estos revolucionarios mexicanos en la brillante exposición de Elena Garro.» Patricia Zama Elena Garro ofrece en este libro dos semblanzas y una crónica histórica que dan cuenta de su innegable vocación periodística, una faceta suya que suele pasarse de largo. Ricardo Flores Magón, “la figura más pura de nuestra historia revolucionaria”, según la autora, fue un incansable anarquista y valioso precursor de la Revolución. Francisco I. Madero, un “revolucionario caballero” según Garro, quien lo exalta como pacifista y humanista, fue el gran mártir de la Revolución, abatido durante el golpe de Estado conocido como la Decena Trágica, de la cual Garro ofrece una exhaustiva crónica que nos acerca a esos diez días de intensos enfrentamientos e imprevistas traiciones.

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: The Americas

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.

Title: Up from Slavery; an Unfinished Jouney

Author: Archie Morris Iii

Narrator: Anthony J. Miano

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 11 hours 4 minutes

Release date: February 8, 2023

Genres: The Americas

Publisher's Summary:

For a period of 85 years, the M Street/Dunbar High School was an academically elite, all-black public high school in Washington, D.C. As far back as 1899, its students came in first in citywide tests given in both black and white schools. Over this 85-year span, approximately 80 percent of M Street/Dunbar’s graduates went on to college, even though most Americans, white or black, did not attend college at all. Faculty and students were mutually respectful to one another, and disruptions in the classroom were not tolerated. Yet, in this era of best practices, this public high school, whose founders experienced slavery and segregation firsthand, has received virtually no attention in the literature or in policy considerations for inner-city education. The purpose of this study is to explore the history of a high school that was successful in teaching black children from families at all income levels to excel and to determine if the learning model employed in the past could be successful in a modern inner-city public education environment.

Title: The World of the Ancient Maya, Second Edition

Author: John S. Henderson

Narrator: Wanda Mccaddon

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 10 hours 35 minutes

Release date: January 1, 2006

Genres: The Americas

Publisher's Summary:

The ancient Maya were the only fully literate pre-Colombian people in the Americas. Superb scientists, they developed highly sophisticated mathematics and an intricate and accurate calendar system. Theirs was one of the few complex societies to emerge in and to adapt successfully to a tropical forest environment. Their architecture, sculpture, and painting were sophisticated and compellingly beautiful. In this comprehensive survey, updated for this new edition, Henderson explores the entire Maya cultural tradition, from the earliest traces of settlement through the period of the Spanish conquest in the sixteenth century. His wide-ranging account treats diverse aspects of the Maya world, from religion and philosophy to the environments of the various Maya peoples, using deciphered Maya texts to reconstruct the ancient societies.
