Title: Just Not That Likable: The Price All Women Pay for Gender Bias

Author: Gloria J. Romero

Narrator: Gloria J. Romero

Format: Unabridged

Length: 05:10:47

Language: English

Release date: 10-19-21

Publisher: Recorded Books

Genres: Business & Economics, HR & Office Administration

Summary:

Senator Romero provides the first comprehensive accounting of why we like Howard but dislike Heidi in leadership rolesand what we can do to overcome this gender bias.

Gloria Romeroformer California Senate Majority Leader and Professor Emeritus of Psychologyshatters the glass ceiling in a sweeping takedown of gender bias at the workplace and the price women and society pay for the virulent, double

standard of the likability factor that persists in the workplace. She exposes the link between success and likability that 21st-century women leaders face in politics and the workplace.

In a book both accessible and enlightening, Senator Romero stands as a woman unafraid to break down barriers for women. As the first female Majority Leader of the upper house in Californias State Legislature, she authored major reform laws

in public education, criminal justice, governmental ethics, and transparency.

Just Not That Likable is the story of a trailblazer who understood that while the 20th-century sexism of unequal pay for equal work had been outlawed and antidiscrimination laws had become common, there was still a hidden likability

penalty and the so-called double bind applied to successful women. The book features the most comprehensive review to date of what is known about the double bind faced by women executives and leaders: they are expected to

exhibit strength and lead, but are penalized as being abrasive or exhibiting characteristics stereotyped as being masculine. Drawing on her own life as well, Senator Romeros journey leads her to the realization that when women smash

through the persisting ceilingstill with us in the 21st centurythe shards cut.

Too deep and too often, these practices and behaviors shut down opportunity for our daughters, sisters, and each other. Just Not That Likable recognizes that our workplaces must promote practices, policies, and cultures which confront and disassemble this double bind for women.

Title: Faustian Bargain: The Soviet-German Partnership and the Origins of the Second World War

Author: Ian Ona Johnson

Narrator: Jonathan Todd Ross

Format: Unabridged

Length: 15:24:33

Language: English

Release date: 10-19-21

Publisher: Recorded Books

Genres: History, Europe, Military

Summary:

When Nazi Germany invaded Poland on September 1, 1939, launching World War Two, its

military might was literally overwhelming. The Luftwaffe bombed towns and cities across

the country; fifty divisions of the Wehrmacht crossed the border. Yet only two decades

earlier, at the end of World War One, Germany had been an utterly and abjectly defeated

military power. Foreign troops occupied its industrial heartland and the Treaty of Versailles

had reduced its vaunted army to a fraction of its size, banning it from developing new

military technologies. When Hitler came to power in 1933, these strictures were still in

effect. By 1939, however, he had at his disposal a fighting force of 4.2 million men, armed

with the most advanced weapons in the world.

How could this seemingly miraculous turnaround have happened?

As Ian Ona Johnson establishes beyond question in Faustian Bargain, the answer lies in

Soviet Russia. Beginning in the years immediately after the First World War and continuing

for more than a decade, the German military and the Soviet Union, despite having been

bitter enemies, entered into a partnership designed to overturn the order in Europe.

Centering on economic and military cooperation, the arrangement led to the establishment

of a network of military bases and industrial facilities on Soviet soil, away from the

oversight established by Versailles. Through their alliance, which continued for over a

decade, Germany gained the space to rebuild its army. In return, the Soviet Union received

vital military, technological, and economic assistance. Both became military powers

capable of mass destructionone that was eventually directed against the other.

Drawing from archives in five countries, including new collections of declassified Russian

documents, Faustian Bargain offers the most authoritative exploration to date of this

secret pact and its cataclysmic results.

Title: About Time: A History of Civilization in Twelve Clocks

Author: David Rooney

Narrator: David Rooney

Format: Unabridged

Length: 09:57:55

Language: English

Release date: 10-19-21

Publisher: Recorded Books

Genres: History, World, Science & Technology, General, Technology & Engineering

Summary:

For thousands of years, people of all cultures have made and used clocks: city sundials in ancient Rome, medieval water clocks in imperial China, hourglasses fomenting revolution in the Middle Ages, the Stock Exchange clock of Amsterdam in 1611, Enlightenment observatories in India, high-precision clocks circling the Earth on

a fleet of GPS satellites that have been launched since 1978. Clocks have helped us navigate the world and build empires, and have even taken us to the brink of destruction. Elites have used them to wield power, make money, govern citizens, and control livesand sometimes the people have used them to fight back.

Through the stories of twelve clocks, About Time brings pivotal moments from the past vividly to life. Historian and lifelong clock enthusiast David Rooney takes us from the unveiling of al-Jazaris castle clock in 1206, in present-day Turkey; to the Cape of Good Hope observatory at the southern tip of Africa, where nineteenth century

British government astronomers moved the gears of empire with a time ball and a gun; to the burial of a plutonium clock now sealed beneath a public park in Osaka, where it will keep time for 5,000 years.

Rooney shows, through these artifacts, how time has been imagined, politicized, and weaponized over the centuriesand how it might bring peace. Ultimately, he writes, the technical history of horology is only the start of the story. A history of clocks is a history of civilization.
