Title: Doctor Sax

Author: Jack Kerouac

Length: 06:57:53

Language: English

Release date: 09-24-24

Publisher: Blackstone Audiobooks

Genres: Science Fiction & Fantasy, Fiction & Literature, Essays & Anthologies, Contemporary Fantasy

Summary:

Doctor Sax is a haunting novel of deeply felt adolescence.

Jack Kerouac tells the story of Jack Duluoz, a French-Canadian boy growing up in Kerouacs own birthplace, the dingy factory town of Lowell, Massachusetts. There, Doctor Sax, with his flowing cape, slouched hat, and insinuating leer, is chief among the many ghosts and demons that populate Jacks fantasy world.

Deftly mingling memory and dream, Kerouac captures the accents and textures of his boyhood in Lowell in this novel of a cryptic, apocalyptic hipster phantom, a novel that he once described as the greatest book I ever wrote, or that I will write.

Language: English

Release date: 09-24-24

Summary:

Comparative Law: A Very Short Introduction aims to offer a concise introduction to comparative law—its objectives, methods, concepts, and uses. After an overview of the fundamental definitions, key concepts, and basic lexicon of the discipline, the book proposes an analysis of the most successful techniques adopted in legal comparison for mapping the world's legal systems and for explaining legal change and diffusion of law, also giving a concise description of the legal traditions of the world.

It also offers an account of the competing approaches adopted over time in comparative endeavors, from functionalism to culturalism and postmodernism, and highlights the different emphasis placed by each of these approaches on commonalities, faith in universal law and convergence, or on divergence and irreducible differences. Finally, the book provides listeners with an understanding of the practical use of comparative law, describing how legal comparison is employed both in lawmaking and in adjudication, supplementing legal reasoning and interpretation.

Title: Geopolitics and Democracy: The Western Liberal Order from Foundation to Fracture

Author: Brian Burgoon, Peter Trubowitz

Narrator: Elliot Fitzpatrick

Format: Unabridged

Length: 06:23:28

Language: English

Release date: 09-24-24

Publisher: Tantor Media

Genres: Global Politics, Political Ideologies

Summary:

A large, widening gap has opened between Western democracies' international ambitions and their domestic political capacity to support them. On issues ranging from immigration and international trade to national security, new political parties on the left and the right are rejecting the core foreign policy principles that Western governments have championed for over half a century. In Geopolitics and Democracy, Peter Trubowitz and Brian Burgoon provide a powerful new explanation for the rise of anti-globalism in the West.

Trubowitz and Burgoon show that support for globalism has been receding for thirty years in Western parties and legislatures. They trace the anti-globalist backlash to foreign policy decisions that mainstream parties and party elites made after the end of the Cold War. These decisions sought to globalize markets and pool sovereignty at the supranational level while applying neoliberal reforms to social protections and guarantees at home.

Geopolitics and Democracy reveals how domestic support for international engagement during the long East-West geopolitical contest was contingent upon social protections within Western democracies. In the absence of a renewed commitment to those social purposes, Western democracies will struggle to find a collective grand strategy that their domestic publics will support.

Title: Eden Undone: A True Story of Sex, Murder, and Utopia at the Dawn of World War II

Author: Abbott Kahler

Narrator: Cassandra Campbell

Format: Unabridged

Length: 09:53:32

Language: English

Release date: 09-24-24

Publisher: Random House (Audio)

Genres: Biography & Memoir, Non-Fiction, True Crime, Mystery, Thriller & Horror, World, History & Culture

Summary:

An incredible true story of murder, romance, and a fateful search for utopia in the Galápagos—from the New York Times bestselling author of The Ghosts of Eden Park

“Abbott Kahler’s wickedly gothic tale confronts an essential truth about those who ditch civilization: Try as we might, humans cannot elude the tyranny of our own nature.”—Hampton Sides, author of The Wide Wide Sea

“With taut prose and sublime storytelling, Kahler crafts an atmospheric page-turner, ominous and thought-provoking.”—Kate Moore, author of The Radium Girls and The Woman They Could Not Silence

At the height of the Great Depression, Los Angeles oil mogul George Allan Hancock and his crew of Smithsonian scientists came upon a gruesome scene: two bodies, mummified by the searing heat, on the shore of a remote Galápagos island. For the past four years Hancock and other American elites had traveled the South Seas to collect specimens for scientific research. On one trip to the Galápagos, Hancock was surprised to discover an equally exotic group of humans: European exiles who had fled political and economic unrest, hoping to create a utopian paradise. One was so devoted to a life of isolation that he’d had his teeth extracted and replaced with a set of steel dentures.

As Hancock and his fellow American explorers would witness, paradise had turned into chaos. The three sets of exiles—a Berlin doctor and his lover, a traumatized World War I veteran and his young family, and an Austrian baroness with two adoring paramours—were riven by conflict. Petty slights led to angry confrontations. The baroness, wielding a riding crop and pearl-handled revolver, staged physical fights between her two lovers and unabashedly seduced American tourists. The conclusion was deadly: with two exiles missing and two others dead, the survivors hurled accusations of murder.

Using never-before-published archives, Abbott Kahler weaves a chilling, stranger-than-fiction tale worthy of Agatha Christie. Set against the backdrop of the Great Depression and the march to World War II, with a mystery as alluring and curious as the Galápagos itself, Eden Undone explores the universal and timeless desire to seek utopia—and lays bare the human fallibility that, inevitably, renders such a quest doomed.
