Publisher: Tantor Media

Summary:

From the author of The Ghost of Drowned Meadow comes another haunted tale that's as touching as it is terrifying.

Janessa 'Jinx' McCormick loves photography because it's like real life, except she can make it perfect. Using her late father's camera, Jinx takes photos for nearly everyone in her small town of Greenbelt, making her something of a local celebrity. But one day as she's touching up a new photo, Jinx sees . . . something in the background of the image. A shadow that she's certain wasn't in the frame when she captured the shot.

Though it's too dark and hazy to see exactly what it is, the shadow looks roughly like a figure. And soon Jinx notices something even more unsettling. With each new shot she takes, the figure is always there.

And it's slowly moving closer to the camera.

Title: Race, Rights, and Rifles: The Origins of the NRA and Contemporary Gun Culture

Author: Alexandra Filindra

Narrator: Peter Berkrot

Format: Unabridged

Length: 14:21:51

Language: English

Release date: 05-21-24

Publisher: Tantor Media

Genres: History, Military, American Politics

Summary:

An eye-opening examination of the ties between American gun culture and white male supremacy from the American Revolution to today.

One-third of American adults—approximately 86 million people—own firearms. This is not just for protection or hunting. Although many associate gun-centric ideology with individualist and libertarian traditions in American political culture, Race, Rights, and Rifles shows that it rests on an equally old but different foundation. Instead, Alexandra Frilindra shows that American gun culture can be traced back to the American Revolution when republican notions of civic duty were fused with a belief in white male supremacy and a commitment to maintaining racial and gender hierarchies.

Drawing on wide-ranging historical and contemporary evidence, Race, Rights, and Rifles traces how this ideology emerged during the Revolution and became embedded in America's institutions, from state militias to the National Rifle Association (NRA). Utilizing original survey data, Filindra reveals how many white Americans—including those outside of the NRA's direct orbit—embrace these beliefs, and as a result, they are more likely than other Americans to value gun rights over voting rights, embrace antidemocratic norms, and justify political violence.

Title: Key Changes: The Ten Times Technology Transformed the Music Industry

Author: Bill Rosenblatt, Howie Singer

Narrator: Asa Siegel

Format: Unabridged

Length: 19:32:44

Language: English

Release date: 05-21-24

Publisher: Tantor Media

Genres: Non-Fiction, Art & Music

Summary:

In recent years, narratives about the music industry tend to hew to a common theme: it was humming along for decades until the Internet and Napster came along and disrupted it. Key Changes shows that this view is incorrect: the industry was actually shaken up not once in the 1990s, but ten times over more than 100 years. These ten disruptions came with the introduction of new formats for enjoying recorded music: starting with the cylinders and discs played on early phonographs; then moving through radio, LPs, tapes, CDs, television, digital downloads, streaming, and streaming video; and then into Artificial Intelligence (AI), which enables a wide range of new capabilities with profound impacts upon the business.

Each of the technological innovations covered in this book not only disrupted the music business, but also fundamentally altered the industry's character. Veteran music industry professionals and music technology experts Howie Singer and Bill Rosenblatt illuminate this pattern through a framework they term 'the 6 Cs': cutting edge technology, channels of distribution, creators, consumers, cash, copyright. Extensively researched and supplemented by interviews with Grammy-winning artists, producers, and executives, the book provides an insightful perspective on the ways technology has fundamentally altered the music industry.
