Title: Churchill's D-Day: The British Bulldogs Fateful Hours During the Normandy Invasion

Author: Allen Packwood, General Sir Richard Dannatt

Narrator: Mike Cooper

Format: Unabridged

Length: 09:28:44

Language: English

Release date: 05-14-24

Publisher: Tantor Media

Genres: History, Military

Summary:

In Churchill's D-Day, Allen Packwood and Richard Dannatt narrate and analyze Sir Winston Churchill's emotional turmoil and epic decision-making before, during, and after the world-defining action of D-Day. Culled from the official Churchill Papers at the Churchill Archives Centre, the book features historical documents, letters, and more, for a Churchillian experience of D-Day leadership, military strategy, and humanity.

As dawn breaks on June 6th, 1944, the landings from the greatest armada of ships ever assembled begins at 0630hrs. Overnight paratroopers from the British 6th Airborne Division secure the eastern flank of the landing zone with the U.S. 82nd and 101st Airborne Division securing the western flank to reduce the risk of German counter attacks.

While Churchill is aware of the huge responsibility he bears for the British soldiers and French civilians, no one else in the world is aware of the conversations, innermost thoughts, deliberations, and decisions he's been making and will continue to make on this day.

Churchill's D-Day provides an unprecedented opportunity for listeners to experience the Invasion of Normandy as the British Bulldog experienced it himself.

Greydon, the Viscount Rushcliffe, is content with his life as a Bow Street Runner, but it all comes to a jarring end when his older brother is murdered. He is now an heir to an earldom—a position he never wanted. As he is trying to come to grips with the newfound shackle on his life, Lady Enid—the only woman that he is inexplicably drawn to—comes to him for help to let his brother's murderer go free.

In the eyes of London society, Lady Enid Longbourn is ruined. Though the ton whispers about how she returned home after the death of her husband, any speculation remains just that: gossip. Her own father doesn't even want her home, but she is determined to give her daughter the future she deserves. However, when her friend is arrested for murder, she knows it must be a terrible mistake and is determined to do whatever it takes to ensure she is set free.

After Enid proves herself to be reckless, Greydon agrees to take the case, but only to keep this vexing woman safe. It should be a straightforward investigation, but it becomes increasingly tangled and confusing. The greatest complication is the one that he didn't see coming: he never thought they would fall in love.

Title: Beware Euphoria: The Moral Roots and Racial Myths of America's War on Drugs

Author: George Fisher

Narrator: Jonathan Yen

Format: Unabridged

Length: 21:32:19

Language: English

Release date: 05-14-24

Publisher: Tantor Media

Genres: Politics, Public Policy

Summary:

Beware Euphoria uncovers the roots of America's moral obsession with drug regulation, offering a lively and fascinating history of the nation's racialized fear of intoxication. Challenging the idea that early antidrug laws in the United States arose from racial animus, George Fisher instead shows in textured detail how United States drug laws were driven by a deep-seated cultural taboo against euphoria and a preoccupation with white moral integrity.

From nineteenth-century opium dens to the war on cocaine and cannabis, and more, Fisher offers a vivid tour of the sites of conflict, along with a convincing case for how the moral discourses and social contexts of the day pit drugs against the law. Bringing this history up to the present, Fisher shows how the racial dynamic has changed dramatically. As harsher penalties swell prisons with mostly nonwhite dealers, antidrug laws have come under renewed scrutiny as a tool of racial oppression. The book closes with an examination of cannabis legalization, driven in part by the movement for racial justice.

Janae Simmons left the small town of Kedgewick, Virginia, ten years ago to pursue her legal career and never looked back-until a professional mistake leads her to her grandmother's historic carriage house and to the town where her past threatens to find her. The streets echo with her grandfather's sterling reputation, one that conflicts with fresh questions that claw at Janae, launching her on a reluctant journey to unearth his secrets. When her new job at a local law firm doesn't live up to expectations, she wonders if coming home was the right decision. Carter Montgomery starts his art preservation career with the only job he can get-director at the Elliott Museum of Art. At least Kedgewick is a nice enough town to provide him and his nephew with a safe place to grieve the loss of Carter's sister. But Carter's calm days disappear when an elderly woman claims two paintings in the museum's collection were stolen from her family during WWII. Carter enlists Janae's help to unravel the legal labyrinth of art ownership, and the peaceful facade of Kedgewick morphs into a hotbed of secrets. When an attorney turns up dead and Janae uncovers another painting, what began as a simple legal issue spirals into a race against time. As the web of intrigue tightens, the duo must confront a looming question: What dark truths lie beneath the surface, waiting to be exposed?

Title: What Do Bees Think About?

Author: Mathieu Lihoreau

Narrator: Elliot Fitzpatrick

Format: Unabridged

Length: 06:06:53

Language: English

Release date: 05-14-24

Publisher: Tantor Media

Genres: Science & Technology, Animals & Nature, Biology & Chemistry

Summary:

Explore the mind of a bee and learn what drives its behavior.

Have you ever observed a bee up close and wondered what was going on inside its head? Like ours, insects' brains take up most of the space in their heads, but their brains are smaller than a grain of rice, only 0.0002% as large as ours. But what purpose does the insect brain serve, and how does that drive their creativity, morality, and emotions?

Bees in particular exhibit unexpected and fascinating cognitive skills. In What Do Bees Think About? animal cognition researcher Mathieu Lihoreau examines a century of research into insect evolution and behavior. He explains recent scientific discoveries, recounts researchers' anecdotes, and reflects on the cognition of these fascinating creatures. Lihoreau's and other scientists' research on insects reinforces the importance of protecting and preserving insects such as bees: after all, our survival on the planet is deeply dependent on theirs. This book provides an eye-opening window into the world of insect cognition and echoes an important ecological message about bees-they are intelligent creatures sharing the same fragile ecosystem as us.
