Title: Agency: The Four Point Plan (F.R.E.E) for All Children to Overcome the Victimhood Narrative and Discover Their Pathway to Power

Author: Ian V. Rowe

Narrator: Ian V. Rowe

Format: Unabridged

Length: 07:32:15

Language: English

Release date: 05-16-23

Publisher: Tantor Media

Genres: Non-Fiction, Social Science, Education

Summary:

Every child deserves to know that a path to a successful life exists and that they have the power to follow it. But many never set foot on that path because they grow up hearing the message that systemic forces control their destinies, or that they are at fault for everything that has gone wrong in their lives.

Yet this phenomenon is not universal. Some children thrive where others do not. Why? Are there personal behaviors and institutional supports that have proven to make a difference? Agency answers with a loud and clear 'yes!'

This book describes four pillars that can uplift every young person: family, religion, education, and entrepreneurship. These pillars embody the meaning of freedom, wherein people are motivated to build healthy social structures and shape the outcomes of their lives.

For that reason, Ian Rowe calls the four pillars the FREE framework. With this framework, children are empowered to develop agency.

In addition to making the case for agency, Rowe shares his personal story coming from an immigrant family. He champions a game plan for creating new agents of agency, promoting the spirit of America's children and showing them the path that will set them FREE.

Length: 04:31:04

Language: English

Release date: 05-16-23

Publisher: Blackstone Audiobooks

Genres: Teen, Action & Adventure

Summary:

Danger, intrigue, threatening death, plus strange and bewildering locations. All these were part of what youthful Biff Brewster encountered. They were surprising because it was part of what was meant to be a pleasant vacation at the beginning.

Biffs father and uncle were both well-traveled and accustomed to unusual situations and they felt it could be a matter of learning and enjoyment for the sixteen-year-old boy. He was big, strong, and very intelligent, so his relatives felt such a trip could add to a future for the lad. It turned out far differently than expectations.

A jungle wilderness jam-packed with hazards and thrills. Thats what eventually confronted Biff going through territory inhabited with dreaded head-hunters. It had begun when Biff boarded a plane bound for Brazil and was handed an unexpected letter and told to keep it safe.

Among other things, Biff had a knack for making friends and it didnt take long for another of those to happen; this time with a young native named Kamuka who, in turn, excitedly accepted the association. Fortunately, both were capable of teaming up to handle the perilous misadventures. The two young men several times were surprised and shocked but were able to keep their wits and physical capabilities to ward off many obstacles. You can learn about these by listening.

Title: Empire, Incorporated: The Corporations That Built British Colonialism

Author: Philip J. Stern

Narrator: Rick Adamson

Format: Unabridged

Length: 14:35:18

Language: English

Release date: 05-16-23

Publisher: Tantor Media

Genres: History, Politics, Asia

Summary:

Across four centuries, British colonialism was above all the business of corporations. Corporations conceived, promoted, financed, and governed overseas expansion, making claims over territory and peoples while ensuring that British and colonial society were invested, quite literally, in their ventures. Colonial companies were also relentlessly controversial, frequently in debt, and prone to failure. The corporation was well-suited to overseas expansion not because it was an inevitable juggernaut but because it was an elusive contradiction: public and private; person and society; subordinate and autonomous; centralized and diffuse; immortal and precarious; national and cosmopolitan—a legal fiction with very real power.

Breaking from traditional histories in which corporations take a supporting role by doing the dirty work of sovereign states in exchange for commercial monopolies, Philip Stern argues that corporations took the lead in global expansion and administration. As Empire, Incorporated makes clear, venture colonialism did not cease with the end of empire.

Challenging conventional wisdom about where power is held on a global scale, Stern complicates the supposedly firm distinction between private enterprise and the state, offering a new history of the British Empire, as well as a new history of the corporation.

Title: Agents of Influence: How the KGB Subverted Western Democracies

Author: Mark Hollingsworth

Narrator: Elliot Fitzpatrick

Format: Unabridged

Length: 10:32:03

Language: English

Release date: 05-16-23

Publisher: Tantor Media

Genres: History, World, Global Politics, Russia

Summary:

There's no such thing as a former KGB man.

Agents of Influence reveals the secret history of an intelligence agency gone out of control, accountable to no one but itself and intent on subverting Western politics on a near-inconceivable scale. In 1985, 1,300 KGB officers were stationed in the USA. The FBI only had 350 counter-intelligence officers. Since the early days of the Cold War, the KGB seduced parliamentarians and diplomats, infiltrated the highest echelons of the Civil Service, and planted fake news in papers across the world.

More disturbingly, it never stopped. Putin is a KGB man through and through. Journalist Mark Hollingworth reveals how disinformation, kompromat and secret surveillance continue to play key roles in Russia's war with Ukraine. It seems frighteningly easy to destabilize Western democracy.

Format: Unabridged

Length: 23:55:38

Language: English

Release date: 05-16-23

Publisher: Tantor Media

Genres: Fiction & Literature, Historical Fiction

Summary:

With the bravura storytelling and pungent authenticity of detail she brought to her acclaimed Lymond Chronicles, Dorothy Dunnett, grande dame of the historical novel, presents the House of Niccolò series. The time is the fifteenth century, when intrepid merchants became the new knighthood of Europe. Among them, none is bolder or more cunning than Nicholas vander Poele of Bruges, the good-natured dyer's apprentice who schemes and swashbuckles his way to the helm of a mercantile empire.

In 1461, Nicholas is in Florence. Backed by none other than Cosimo de' Medici, he will sail the Black Sea to Trebizond, last outpost of Byzantium, and the last jewel missing from the crown of the Ottoman Empire. But trouble lies ahead. Nicholas's stepdaughter-at the tender age of thirteen-has eloped with his rival in trade: a Machiavellian Genoese who races ahead of Nicholas, sowing disaster at every port. And time is of the essence: Trebizond may fall to the Turks at any moment. Crackling with wit, breathtakingly paced, The Spring of the Ram is a pyrotechnic blend of scholarship and narrative shimmering with the scents, sounds, colors, and combustible emotions of the fifteenth century.

Title: Collected Works

Author: Lydia Sandgren

Narrator: Alexandra Cohler

Format: Unabridged

Length: 27:59:58

Language: English

Release date: 05-16-23

Publisher: Tantor Media

Genres: Fiction & Literature, Literary Fiction, Family Life

Summary:

A novel about love, power, and art-and what leads us to make the pivotal decisions that change the course of our lives.

Martin Berg's wife, Cecilia, disappeared years ago. His memories of their carefree college days seem ever out of reach, and the intellectual curiosities that once made him the object of her desire have given way to midlife uncertainty. The methodical and quiet life he's made for himself and his adult children couldn't be further from the one he dreamed of in his youth, when the manuscripts lying around his apartment were flush with promise and his ailing publishing house was still new.

Perhaps nothing reminds Martin of these failures more than his friend Gustav Becker, a wildly successful painter who's returned to Gothenburg on the eve of his career-defining retrospective. Gustav, meanwhile, is hurting too. His obsession with Cecilia's inexplicable disappearance had made his art hagiographic, fixated on her image. When posters for Gustav's retrospective plaster Cecilia's face on major billboards across the city, Martin's daughter Rakel learns a haunting fact that points toward her mother's whereabouts. She and her brother chase this clue across time, memory, and Europe to discover why Cecilia abandoned her family, with the imagined hope that the question of what makes a person leave can ever be answered.
