Summary:

Perfect for fans of The Hate U Give, this unforgettable coming-of-age debut novel is a unflinching exploration of race, class, and violence as well as the importance of being true to yourself. 

Los Angeles, 1992

Ashley Bennett and her friends are living the charmed life. It’s the end of high school and they’re spending more time at the beach than in the classroom. They can already feel the sunny days and endless possibilities of summer.

But everything changes one afternoon in April, when four police officers are acquitted after beating a black man named Rodney King half to death. Suddenly, Ashley’s not just one of the girls. She’s one of the black kids.

As violent protests engulf LA and the city burns, Ashley tries to continue on as if life were normal. Even as her self-destructive sister gets dangerously involved in the riots. Even as the model black family façade her wealthy and prominent parents have built starts to crumble. Even as her best friends help spread a rumor that could completely derail the future of her classmate and fellow black kid, LaShawn Johnson.

With her world splintering around her, Ashley, along with the rest of LA, is left to question who is the us? And who is the them?

Title: Discussion Materials: Tales of a Rookie Wall Street Investment Banker

Author: Bill Keenan

Narrator: Roger Wayne

Format: Unabridged

Length: 09:00:46

Language: English

Release date: 12-08-20

Publisher: Ascent Audio

Genres: Biography & Memoir

Summary:

A newly-minted MBA recounts his first years as a Wall Street investment banker—unredacted.

Discussion Materials gives the listener an honest look at Wall Street from someone in the trenches. After graduating from Columbia Business School, Bill Keenan joined Deutsche Bank's investment banking division as an associate where despotic superiors (and the blinking red light of his BlackBerry) instilled low-level terror on an hourly basis. You'll join him in his cubicle on the 44th floor of 60 Wall Street as he scrambles to ensure floating bar charts are the correct shade of orange and all numbers are left-aligned, but whatever you do, don't ask him what any of it means. Leaning heavily on his fellow junior bankers and the countless outsourcing resources the bank employs, he slowly develops proficiency at the job, eventually gaining traction and respect, one deal at a time, over a two-year span, ultimately cementing his legacy in the group by attaining the unattainable—placing a dinner order on Seamless one Sunday night at work from Hwa Yuan Szechuan amounting to $25.00 (tax and tip included), the bank's maximum allowance for meals—the perfect order.

Title: Inflation Myth and the Wonderful World of Deflation

Author: Mark Mobius

Narrator: Keith Sellon-Wright

Format: Unabridged

Length: 05:02:39

Language: English

Release date: 12-08-20

Publisher: Ascent Audio

Genres: Business & Economics

Summary:

What if everything you've learned about inflation is wrong?

The Inflation Myth and the Wonderful World of Deflation illustrates our rapidly changing world where constant technological innovation leads to cheaper and better products. These changes are no longer reflected in the ways we measure inflation. Renowned investor and author Mark Mobius persuasively argues that what we believe to know about inflation today does not reflect the reality any longer. It is a myth, a legend, a fable, and, yes, a falsehood for a number of reasons.

The Inflation Myth and the Wonderful World of Deflation tackles a number of fascinating topics, including:

● The political nature of inflation measurement where governments manipulate and exploit inflation numbers to fit their economic programs

● The extreme difficulty involved in gathering accurate data to measure inflation and the resulting inaccuracy of those measures

● The error of using currencies to measure inflation when those currencies are continually being debased by the governments who issue them

● Finally, and most importantly, the advances in technology and automation which are leading to continuously falling costs for goods and services
