Title: Habeas Corpus: A Very Short Introduction

Author: Amanda Tyler

Narrator: Callie Beaulieu

Format: Unabridged

Length: 05:01:07

Language: English

Release date: 07-15-21

Publisher: Tantor Media

Genres: Non-Fiction, Law

Summary:

The concept of habeas corpus-literally, to receive and hold the body-empowers courts to protect the right of prisoners to know the basis on which they are being held by the government and grant prisoners their freedom when they are held unlawfully. It is no wonder that habeas corpus has long been considered essential to freedom.

This Very Short Introduction chronicles the storied writ of habeas corpus and how its common law and statutory origins spread from England throughout the British Empire and beyond, witnessing its use today around the world in nations as varied as Canada, Israel, India, and South Korea. Beginning with the English origins of the writ, the book traces its historical development both as a part of the common law and as a parliamentary creation born out of the English Habeas Corpus Act of 1679.

The book then takes the story forward to explore how the writ has functioned in the centuries since, including its controversial suspension by President Abraham Lincoln during the Civil War. It also analyzes the major role habeas corpus has played in such issues as the World War II incarceration of Japanese Americans and the US Supreme Court's recognition during the War on Terror of the concept of a 'citizen enemy combatant.'

Title: Catkiller 3-2: An Army Pilot Flying for the Marines in the Vietnam War

Author: Raymond G. Caryl

Narrator: Tom Parks

Format: Unabridged

Length: 08:28:04

Language: English

Release date: 07-13-21

Publisher: Tantor Media

Genres: History, Biography & Memoir, Military

Summary:

Catkiller 3-2 provides unique insights into the role of the tactical air controller, airborne (TACA) in I Corps as seen through the eyes of one of the pilots who flew low-flying, unarmed, single-engine aircraft in support of marine ground units during the Vietnam War. When Gen. William Westmoreland changed the marines' role in I Corps into a combat one, the Marines found themselves in need of more fixed wing aircraft to handle the TACA missions. The advance party of the Army's 220th Reconnaissance Aircraft Company (RAC) arrived in Vietnam in late June 1965 thinking they were going to be assigned to III Corps Tactical Zone. However, because of the shortage of existing Marine Birddogs, the 220th was immediately reassigned to I Corps and came under the operational control of the Marines.

No other work details the tactics, restrictions, aerial maneuvers, and dangers experienced by the army pilots and marine aerial observers flying these missions. As young lieutenants and captains, they had at their beck and call as much authority to request and control artillery and air strikes as ground commanders of much higher rank. Raymond G. Caryl provides unrivaled examples of the cultural mores, attitudes, and recreational activity of these young pilots and observers supporting the ground forces.

Title: Brain from Inside Out

Author: Gyorgy Buzsaki

Narrator: Rich Miller

Format: Unabridged

Length: 11:47:56

Language: English

Release date: 07-13-21

Publisher: Tantor Media

Genres: Non-Fiction, Science & Technology, Biology & Chemistry, Psychology

Summary:

Is there a right way to study how the brain works? The most common approach involves the study of neural reactions to stimuli presented by an experimenter.

György Buzsáki's The Brain from Inside Out examines why the outside-in framework for understanding brain function has become stagnant and points to new directions for understanding neural function. Building upon the success of 2011's Rhythms of the Brain, Professor Buzsáki presents the brain as a foretelling device that interacts with its environment through action and the examination of action's consequence. Consider that our brains are initially filled with nonsense patterns, all of which are gibberish until grounded by action-based interactions. By matching these nonsense 'words' to the outcomes of action, they acquire meaning. Once its circuits are 'calibrated' by action and experience, the brain can disengage from its sensors and actuators, and examine 'what happens if' scenarios by peeking into its own computation, a process that we refer to as cognition.

The Brain from Inside Out explains why our brain is not an information-absorbing coding device, as it is often portrayed, but a venture-seeking explorer constantly controlling the body to test hypotheses. Our brain does not process information: it creates it.

Summary:

I was raised to believe that I was a warrior witch, someone who made the world a little safer. On my sixteenth birthday, I found out that I'm nothing more than a monster myself-a fae abomination created to protect the queen of the Fallen.

For eight long years I ran from the fae who'd have me take up my place at the queen's side. Then I found him, my light in the darkness. Someone I could trust. Sean was my chance at a normal life. At freedom.

He was the worst of them. He gave me everything I thought I wanted. I gave him my heart, and in turn he sold me to the queen.

The court is a cold and cruel place. There is no kindness for a creature like me. They tried to break me, to make me into one of them. I endured far more darkness and punishment than I'd ever have thought possible. I was lost, broken.

One day they threw me to the wolves. Little did they know that those beautiful creatures were my fated life bonds. Three incredible predators who would take on the world to keep me safe. To see me smile.

The court wanted me to be a monster, a creature forged of blood and shadow. Now, with my life bonds at my side, I will show them just how monstrous I really am.

Title: Racial Melancholia, Racial Dissociation: On the Social and Psychic Lives of Asian Americans

Author: David L. Eng, Shinhee Han

Narrator: Cindy Kay

Format: Unabridged

Length: 08:37:48

Language: English

Release date: 07-13-21

Publisher: Tantor Media

Genres: Non-Fiction, Psychology, Social Science

Summary:

In Racial Melancholia, Racial Dissociation critic David L. Eng and psychotherapist Shinhee Han draw on case histories from the mid-1990s to the present to explore the social and psychic predicaments of Asian American young adults from Generation X to Generation Y. Combining critical race theory with several strands of psychoanalytic thought, they develop the concepts of racial melancholia and racial dissociation to investigate changing processes of loss associated with immigration, displacement, diaspora, and assimilation. These case studies of first- and second-generation Asian Americans deal with a range of difficulties, from depression, suicide, and the politics of coming out to broader issues of the model minority stereotype, transnational adoption, parachute children, colorblind discourses in the United States, and the rise of Asia under globalization. Throughout, Eng and Han link psychoanalysis to larger structural and historical phenomena, illuminating how the study of psychic processes of individuals can inform investigations of race, sexuality, and immigration while creating a more sustained conversation about the social lives of Asian Americans and Asians in the diaspora.

Narrator: Christina Delaine

Format: Unabridged

Length: 07:59:49

Language: English

Release date: 07-13-21

Publisher: Tantor Media

Genres: Business & Economics, Global Politics, Business Development

Summary:

Over the last decade, author and activist Astra Taylor has helped shift the national conversation on topics including technology, inequality, indebtedness, and democracy. The essays collected here reveal the range and depth of her thinking, with Taylor tackling the rising popularity of socialism, the problem of automation, the politics of listening, the possibility of rights for the natural and non-human world, the future of the university, the temporal challenge of climate catastrophe, and more. Addressing some of the most pressing social problems of our day, Taylor invites us to imagine how things could be different while never losing sight of the strategic question of how change actually happens.

Curious and searching, these historically informed and hopeful essays are as engaging as they are challenging and as urgent as they are timeless. Taylor's unique philosophical style has a political edge that speaks directly to the growing conviction that a radical transformation of our economy and society is required.
