Title: Red Pill, Blue Pill: How to Counteract the Conspiracy Theories That Are Killing Us

Author: David Neiwert

Narrator: Matthew Josdal

Format: Unabridged

Length: 10:50:00

Language: English

Release date: 09-29-20

Publisher: Tantor Media

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

Summary:

Conspiracy theories are killing us. Once confined to the fringes of society, this worldview now has adherents numbering in the millions-extending right into the White House. This disturbing look at this alt-right threat to our democratic institutions offers guidance for counteracting the personal toll this destructive mindset can have on relationships and families.

Author David Neiwert-an investigative journalist who has studied the radical right for decades-examines the growing appeal of conspiracy theories and the kind of personalities that are attracted to such paranoid, sociopathic messages. He explains how alt-right leaders are able to get such firm holds on the imaginations of their followers and chronicles the destruction caused by the movement's most virulent believers.

Colloquially, this recruitment to alt-right ideologies is called 'getting red-pilled'-a metaphor for when believers of conspiracy theories become convinced that their alternate universe is real. Uniquely, and optimistically, Neiwert provides a 'blue pill toolkit' for those who are dealing with conspiracy theorists in their own lives, including strategies drawn from people who counsel former far-right extremists who have renounced their former beliefs.

Title: Grant's Victory: How Ulysses S. Grant Won the Civil War

Author: Bruce L. Brager

Narrator: Keith Sellon-Wright

Format: Unabridged

Length: 06:30:00

Language: English

Release date: 09-29-20

Publisher: Tantor Media

Genres: History, Biography & Memoir, North America, Military

Summary:

Two of the great themes of the Civil War are how Lincoln found his war-winning general in Ulysses Grant and how Grant finally defeated Lee. Grant's Victory intertwines these two threads in a grand narrative that shows how Grant made the difference in the war. At Eastern theater battlefields from Bull Run to Gettysburg, Union commanders-whom Lincoln replaced after virtually every major battle-had struggled to best Lee, either suffering embarrassing defeat or failing to follow up success. Meanwhile, in the West, Grant had been refining his art of war at places like Fort Donelson, Shiloh, Vicksburg, and Chattanooga, and in early 1864, Lincoln made him general-in-chief. Arriving in the East almost deus ex machina, and immediately recognizing what his predecessors never could, Grant pressed Lee in nearly continuous battle for the next eleven months-a series of battles and sieges that ended at Appomattox.

Title: Lost in Thought: The Hidden Pleasures of an Intellectual Life

Author: Zena Hitz

Narrator: Emily Ellet

Format: Unabridged

Length: 07:22:00

Language: English

Release date: 09-29-20

Publisher: Tantor Media

Genres: Non-Fiction, Psychology, Philosophy

Summary:

In an overloaded, superficial, technological world, in which almost everything and everybody is judged by its usefulness, where can we turn for escape, lasting pleasure, contemplation, or connection to others? While many forms of leisure meet these needs, Zena Hitz writes, few experiences are so fulfilling as the inner life, whether that of a bookworm, an amateur astronomer, a birdwatcher, or someone who takes a deep interest in one of countless other subjects. Drawing on inspiring examples, from Socrates and Augustine to Malcolm X and Elena Ferrante, and from films to Hitz's own experiences as someone who walked away from elite university life in search of greater fulfillment, Lost in Thought is a passionate and timely reminder that a rich life is a life rich in thought.

Today, when even the humanities are often defended only for their economic or political usefulness, Hitz says our intellectual lives are valuable not despite but because of their practical uselessness. And while anyone can have an intellectual life, she encourages academics in particular to get back in touch with the desire to learn for its own sake, and calls on universities to return to the person-to-person transmission of the habits of mind and heart that bring out the best in us.
