He can't let go of the past. And it might cost him a future with the woman he loves.

Nate knows how to solve crimes. He's dedicated his entire life to the force, sacrificing everything in his desperate attempt to absolve himself of the guilt he feels over his own mother's unsolved death.

Sally loves Nate, but three years of waiting for him has proven one thing: his career will always come first. Not her. Frustrated by his constant absence, Sally does the unthinkable. She walks away.

Devastated by the break-up, Nate throws himself into a Jane Doe case. But he soon discovers that solving yet another crime does nothing to fill the hole inside him. To make matters worse, Sally is moving on and he doesn't know if he can ever win her back.

But he has to try . . . especially when unforeseen circumstances put Sally's life in danger.

Especially because he might be the only one who can save her.

Title: Why Cities Lose: The Deep Roots of the Urban-Rural Political Divide

Author: Jonathan A. Rodden

Narrator: Mike Lenz

Format: Unabridged

Length: 10:13:43

Language: English

Release date: 07-07-20

Publisher: Tantor Media

Genres: Non-Fiction, Politics, Social Science, Political Ideologies

Summary:

A prizewinning political scientist traces the origins of urban-rural political conflict and shows how geography shapes elections in America and beyond.

Why is it so much easier for the Democratic Party to win the national popular vote than to build and maintain a majority in Congress? Why can Democrats sweep statewide offices in places like Pennsylvania and Michigan yet fail to take control of the same states' legislatures? Many place exclusive blame on partisan gerrymandering and voter suppression. But as political scientist Jonathan A. Rodden demonstrates in Why Cities Lose, the left's electoral challenges have deeper roots in economic and political geography.

In the late nineteenth century, support for the left began to cluster in cities among the industrial working class. Today, left-wing parties have become coalitions of diverse urban interest groups, from racial minorities to the creative class. These parties win big in urban districts but struggle to capture the suburban and rural seats necessary for legislative majorities. A bold new interpretation of today's urban-rural political conflict, Why Cities Lose also points to electoral reforms that could address the left's under-representation while reducing urban-rural polarization.

Title: War in the Age of Trump: The Defeat of ISIS, the Fall of the Kurds, the Conflict with Iran

Author: Patrick Cockburn

Narrator: Roger Clark

Format: Unabridged

Length: 14:44:19

Language: English

Release date: 07-07-20

Publisher: Tantor Media

Genres: Global Politics

Summary:

Is the fall of ISIS the end of the perpetual war in the Middle East?

In this urgent and timely book, Patrick Cockburn writes the first draft of the history of the current crisis in the Middle East. Here he charts the period from the recapture of Mosul in 2017 to Turkey's attack on Kurdish territory in November 2019, and recounts the new phase in the wars of disintegration that have plagued the region. The ground battle with the caliphate is perhaps over, but was this the end of the conflict that has scarred these nations for decades?

Cockburn offers panoramic on-the-ground analysis as well as a lifetime's study of the region. And here he shows how peace appears a distant possibility with the continuation of conflict in Syria, Saudi Arabia's violent intervention in the Yemen, riots in Baghdad and Tehran. At the same time, the rising aggression between Israel and Iran, the raising of stakes between the US, Russia, and Turkey, shows that this remains the theater of the proxy wars of the world's superpowers. Has Trump abandoned the area for good, leaving a vacuum for others-Putin, Erdogan, Mohammed Bin Saud-to fill? He also looks at what might happen to the Islamic State: will it disappear now that it has lost its territory or emerge in a new form and with renewed violence?

Title: Kant and the Divine: From Contemplation to the Moral Law

Author: Christopher J. Insole

Narrator: Paul Boehmer

Format: Unabridged

Length: 21:49:18

Language: English

Release date: 07-07-20

Publisher: Tantor Media

Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Non-Fiction, Religious Studies, Philosophy

Summary:

Kant is not a Christian, because he cannot accept Christianity's traditional claims about the relationship between divine action, grace, human freedom, and happiness. Christian theologians who continue to affirm these traditional claims (and many do), therefore have grounds to be suspicious of Kant as an interpreter of Christian doctrine.

As well as setting out a theological critique of Kant, Insole offers a new defence of the power, beauty, and internal coherence of Kant's non-Christian philosophical religiosity, 'within the limits of reason alone', which reason itself has some divine features. This neglected strand of philosophical religiosity deserves to be engaged with by both philosophers, and theologians. The Kant revealed in this book reminds us of a perennial task of philosophy, going back to Plato, where philosophy is construed as a way of life, oriented towards happiness, achieved through a properly expansive conception of reason and happiness. When we understand this philosophical religiosity, many standard 'problems' in the interpretation of Kant can be seen in a new light, and resolved. Kant witnesses to a strand of philosophy that leans into the category of the divine, at the edges of what we can say about reason, freedom, autonomy, and happiness.

Four years later, and as fate would have it, Keegan and I are brought together again. It's as if the universe is telling us this is our second chance. The more I get to know him, the harder I fall. Falling hopelessly in love is inevitable with a man like him.

Only the joke's on me, because the guy I'm falling for isn't the man I thought he was. You know how the saying goes: Fool me once . . .

I'll be damned if I'm fooled again.

Title: Economics in the Age of COVID-19

Author: Joshua Gans

Narrator: Barry Abrams

Format: Unabridged

Length: 03:58:24

Language: English

Release date: 07-07-20

Publisher: Tantor Media

Genres: Business & Economics

Summary:

The COVID-19 pandemic has unleashed a firehose of information (much of it wrong) and an avalanche of opinions (many of them ill-founded). Most of us are so distracted by the everyday awfulness that we don't see the broader issues in play. In this book, economist Joshua Gans steps back from the short-term chaos to take a clear and systematic look at how economic choices are being made in response to COVID-19. He shows that containing the virus and pausing the economy are the necessary first steps. Gans outlines the phases of the pandemic economy, from containment to reset to recovery and enhancement. Warning against thinking in terms of a 'tradeoff' between public health and economic health, Gans explains that containment gives us the opportunity to develop effective testing that will make it safe for people to interact. Once the virus is contained, we will need to pivot toward innovating, and, finally, we will come together to plan how to protect ourselves from future pandemics. He looks at policy tools that might aid an economic recovery, distinguishing between economic losses during a pandemic and a recession. Gans lays out the economic choices accessibly but with urgency, leaving politics out of it. Economics in the Age of COVID-19 is a must-listen book for anyone interested in the long-term implications of our current crisis.
