Publisher's Summary:

A COSMIC CONUNDRUM—This astonishing book follows our ascendancy from just another hominin on the open African savannah to the alpha hegemon on Earth today endangering its entire future. Along the way, humans methodically outwitted their competition with phenomenal efficiency and indifference, to emerge in the modern 21st century as the linchpin of a major mass extinction of countless other lifeforms cohabiting their planet with them. The shredding of our fragile ecosphere by massive proliferation and monopolistic overconsumption of Earth’s precious resources by a single invasive species, along with the inexorable combustion of deadly fossil fuels to acquire the energy needed to sustain their profligate and lavish lifestyle, is threatening to drive H. sapiens itself into extinction within the next 300 years. This is the true story of that improbable adventure! ...The Publishers

Title: Everybody Listen To The Constitution

Author: The Founding Fathers

Narrator: The Ark, Geoffrey Giuliano

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 1 hour 8 minutes

Release date: January 3, 2023

Genres: World

Publisher's Summary:

The Constitution of the United States is the supreme law of the United States of America. It superseded the Articles of Confederation, the nation's first constitution, in 1789. Originally comprising seven articles, it delineates the national frame of government. Its first three articles embody the doctrine of the separation of powers, whereby the federal government is divided into three branches: the legislative, consisting of the bicameral Congress (Article I); the executive, consisting of the president and subordinate officers (Article II); and the judicial, consisting of the Supreme Court and other federal courts (Article III). Article IV, Article V, and Article VI embody concepts of federalism, describing the rights and responsibilities of state governments, the states in relationship to the federal government, and the shared process of a constitutional amendment. Article VII establishes the procedure subsequently used by the 13 states to ratify it. It is regarded as the oldest written and codified national constitution in force. Since the Constitution came into force in 1789, it has been amended 27 times, including one amendment that repealed a previous one, in order to meet the needs of a nation that has profoundly changed since the 18th century. In general, the first ten amendments, known collectively as the Bill of Rights, offer specific protections of individual liberty and justice and place restrictions on the powers of government within the U.S. states. The majority of the 17 later amendments expand individual civil rights protections. Others address issues related to federal authority or modify government processes and procedures. Amendments to the United States Constitution, unlike ones made to many constitutions worldwide, are appended to the document. The original U.S. Constitution was written on five pages of parchment.

Title: [Spanish] - El siglo de las drogas (nueva edición)

Author: Luis Astorga

Narrator: Beto Moreno

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 6 hours 33 minutes

Release date: December 29, 2022

Genres: World

Publisher's Summary:

A veinte años de su publicación original, la pertinencia de este libro no puede ser mayor: el negocio de las drogas ilegalizadas se encuentra en todos lados. Una nueva edición de una investigación clásica acerca los fármacos prohibidos y la historia de sus usos, las percepciones y las relaciones con los diferentes agentes sociales, desde la época porfiriana hasta nuestros días. Su autor, Luis Astorga, prestigiado investigador y analista del tema, critica de forma abierta la manera prejuiciosa y desinformada de abordarlo, y plantea posibles escenarios del futuro. A veinte años de la publicación de El siglo de las drogas, su pertinencia no puede ser mayor. Las menciones sobre el negocio de las drogas ilegalizadas abundan en la prensa: las disputas entre miembros de organizaciones criminales, la alarmante situación de las cárceles, las acciones violentas de sicarios y la reestructuración de los territorios de venta de sustancias psicoactivas ilícitas. El panorama sigue siendo complicado. Los políticos insisten en que el crimen organizado amenaza la seguridad nacional, aunque a muchos de ellos les conviene su fortalecimiento. Los institutos contra las adicciones se ven limitados por la falta de recursos, y el ciudadano común padece la falta de información de primera mano. La 'guerra contra las drogas' se puede volver una guerra interminable porque delincuencia y poder político han estado unidos históricamente, pero también porque la concepción que se tiene del fenómeno de la venta y el consumo varía de acuerdo con la época donde se ubica. Nuestra visión de drogas como la mariguana, la cocaína y las derivadas del opio cambia al mismo tiempo que nuestra realidad. En este contexto, Luis Astorga presenta un recorrido histórico que va desde el Porfiriato hasta la actualidad sobre los usos, las percepciones y el tráfico de esas sustancias y presenta interrogantes sobre los posibles escenarios del futuro: si la guerra está perdida de antemano, ¿sólo nos queda su legalización?

Title: The Village Labourer 1760-1832: A Study in the Government of England before the Reform Bill

Author: Barbara Hammond, James L Hammond, Cole Bolchoz

Narrator: Cole Bolchoz

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 12 hours 15 minutes

Release date: December 28, 2022

Genres: World

Publisher's Summary:

Many histories have been written of the governing class that ruled England with such absolute power during the last century of the old régime. Those histories have shown how that class conducted war, how it governed its colonies, how it behaved to the continental Powers, how it managed the first critical chapters of our relations with India, how it treated Ireland, how it developed the Parliamentary system, how it saved Europe from Napoleon. One history has only been sketched in outline: it is the history of the way in which this class governed England. The writers of this book have here attempted to describe the life of the poor during this period. It is their object to show what was in fact happening to the working classes under a government in which they had no share. They found, on searching through the material for such a study, that the subject was too large for a single book; they have accordingly confined themselves in this volume to the treatment of the village poor, leaving the town worker for separate treatment. It is necessary to mention this, for it helps to explain certain omissions that may strike the reader. The growth and direction of economic opinion, for example, are an important part of any examination of this question, but the writers have been obliged to reserve the consideration of that subject for their later volume, to which it seems more appropriate. The writers have also found it necessary to leave entirely on one side for the present the movement for Parliamentary Reform which was alive throughout this period, and very active, of course, during its later stages. Two subjects are discussed fully in this volume, they believe, for the first time. One is the actual method and procedure of Parliamentary Enclosure; the other the labourers’ rising of 1830. Nowhere can the student find a full analysis of the procedure and stages by which the old village age was destroyed. The rising of 1830 is covered as well.

Title: Sigmund Freud Reflections On War & Death

Author: Sigmund Freud

Narrator: The Ark, Geoffrey Giuliano

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 1 hour 24 minutes

Release date: December 17, 2022

Genres: World

Publisher's Summary:

“Illusions commend themselves to us because they save us pain and allow us to enjoy pleasure instead. We must therefore accept it without complaint when they sometimes collide with a bit of reality against which they are dashed to pieces.” ? Sigmund Freud, Reflections on War and Death Here is a classic historical psychology study by Sigmund Freud. Thoughts for the Time of War and Death is a set of twin essays written by Sigmund Freud in 1915, six months after the outbreak of World War I. The essays express discontent and disillusionment with human nature and human society in the aftermath of the hostilities and generated much interest among lay readers of Freud. The first essay addressed the widespread disillusionment brought on by the collapse of the Pax Britannica of the preceding century-what Freud called 'the common civilization of peacetime. The second essay addressed what Freud called the peacetime 'protection racket' whereby the inevitability of death was expunged from civilized mentality. Building on the second essay of Totem and Taboo, Freud argued that such an attitude left civilians in particular unprepared for the stark horror of industrial-scale death in the Great War. Freud's account of the centrality of loss in culture has been seen as seminal for his later work, Civilization and its Discontents. Caught in the whirlwind of these war times, without any real information or any perspective upon the great changes that have already occurred or are about to be enacted, lacking all premonition of the future, it is small wonder that we ourselves become confused as to the meaning of impressions which crowd in upon us or of the value of the judgments we are forming. It would seem as though no event had ever destroyed so much of the precious heritage of mankind, confused so many of the clearest intellects or so thoroughly debased what is highest.

Title: Tutan Hamen And The Discovery Of His Tomb

Author: Howard Carter

Narrator: The Ark, Geoffrey Giuliano

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 2 hours 21 minutes

Release date: December 15, 2022

Genres: World

Publisher's Summary:

“First steps of tomb found,” British archaeologist Howard Carter excitedly wrote across a page of his pocket diary on November 4, 1922. The next day’s excavation in the Valley of the Kings on the west bank of the Nile River would reveal a tantalizing entrance. He quickly sent a telegram to Lord Carnarvon, who had been sponsoring his (mostly unsuccessful) investigations of Egyptian antiquities for several years and had reluctantly backed this final season: “At last have made wonderful discovery in Valley; a magnificent tomb with seals intact.” The subsequent opening of Pharaoh Tutankhamun’s long untouched tomb and its burial chamber—and the dissemination of its treasures through photography, film, and traveling exhibitions—would captivate the world and transform a young Egyptian king whose reign was brief and little remembered into an icon of ancient mysteries. Because Tutankhamun’s tomb was largely undisturbed—there are indications it was robbed a couple of times in antiquity but then restored—it offered a rare view into ancient Egypt and its faith, culture, and funerary rites. Stories about its discovery and the gradual uncovering of its artifacts made front-page news across the globe, with reporters marveling at each opulently adorned statue and alabaster vase. On December 22, 1922, The New York Times published a first-hand account in which the author wrote: “No finer human interest story, no more thrilling drama, no greater archaeological revelations could be summoned from history or the most vivid imagination than is told by the mute objects in this tomb of King Tutankhamen.” Howard Carter was a British archaeologist and Egyptologist who discovered the intact tomb of the 18th Dynasty Pharaoh Tutankhamun in November 1922, the best-preserved pharaonic tomb ever found in the Valley of the Kings. This is his story!
