Title: Hidden Brilliance: Unlocking the Intelligence of Autism Author: Claire LaZebnik, Lynn Kern Koegel Narrator: Emma Love Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 8 hours 37 minutes Release date: April 4, 2023 Genres: Social Science Publisher's Summary: A groundbreaking exploration of the ways in which the intelligence and abilities of children and young adults with autism are often overlooked and misjudged, with tried-and-true interventions that can be used to help them reach their full potential. Our limited and often biased view of what’s considered “normal” often prevents us from recognizing the gifts and brilliance of those who don’t fit a specific mold. Too often we don’t explore and take advantage of the far-reaching gifts and potential of those diagnosed as being on the autism spectrum or neurodiverse. Dr. Lynn Kern Koegel has had vast experience researching Autism Spectrum Disorders—ASD—and working with autistic people of all ages. She has repeatedly witnessed firsthand evidence of great intelligence that hasn’t yet been nurtured or realized. In Hidden Brilliance, Dr. Koegel and writer Claire LaZebnik explore the ways in which the brilliance and talents of children and young adults diagnosed with ASD are commonly overlooked or misjudged, even by trained professionals. This book isn’t about changing people, but about bringing out their best, by focusing on and nurturing their strengths. The authors examine the forces at play—including outdated attitudes, a lack of sufficient training, and an overreliance on standardized testing--that complicate and confuse the effort to see the remarkable capabilities of these kids. The authors argue that behaviors often described as disruptive or interfering are actually brilliant attempts at communication and point the reader toward interventions that can encourage people to effectively communicate their needs and thoughts. Hidden Brilliance helps us see how and why parents—who often feel alone in their ability to see past their children’s struggles to the incredible capabilities underneath —are often dismissed or ignored. Now in paperback, Hidden Brilliance explains ways to identify your child’s strengths and abilities and then use them as a tool for social communication, improved learning, and overall growth. While no one can predict a child’s future, a positive and supportive attitude combined with the right goals and interventions that consider the child’s strengths can lead to extraordinary growth and connection. Warm and hopeful, Hidden Brilliance opens the door to a new way of looking at people diagnosed with ASD—those who deserve to have their brilliance shine brightly for all to see.

Title: Ejaculate Responsibly: A Whole New Way to Think About Abortion Author: Gabrielle Stanley Blair Narrator: Gabrielle Stanley Blair Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 3 hours 8 minutes Release date: October 18, 2022 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 4.5 of Total 2 Ratings of Narrator: 5 of Total 1 Genres: Social Science Publisher's Summary: In Ejaculate Responsibly, Gabrielle Blair offers a provocative reframing of the abortion issue in post-Roe America. In a series of 28 brief arguments, she deftly makes the case for moving the abortion debate away from controlling and legislating women’s bodies and instead directs the focus on men’s lack of accountability in preventing unwanted pregnancies. Highly readable, accessible, funny, and unflinching, Blair builds her argument by walking readers through the basics of fertility (men are 50 times more fertile than women), the unfair burden placed on women when it comes to preventing pregnancy (90% of the birth control market is for women), the wrongheaded stigmas around birth control for men (condoms make sex less pleasurable, vasectomies are scary and emasculating), and the counterintuitive reality that men, who are fertile 100% of the time, take little to no responsibility for preventing pregnancy.  The result is a compelling and convincing case for placing the responsibility—and burden—of preventing unwanted pregnancies away from women and onto men.

Bauer Jr. Narrator: Kaipo Schwab Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 15 hours 49 minutes Release date: September 13, 2022 Genres: Social Science Publisher's Summary: Before there was such a thing as 'California,' there were the People and the Land. Manifest Destiny, the Gold Rush, and settler colonial society drew maps, displaced Indigenous People, and reshaped the land, but they did not make California. Rather, the lives and legacies of the people native to the land shaped the creation of California. We Are the Land is the first and most comprehensive text of its kind, centering the long history of California around the lives and legacies of the Indigenous people who shaped it. Beginning with the ethnogenesis of California Indians, this book recounts the centrality of the Native presence from before European colonization through statehood—paying particularly close attention to the persistence and activism of California Indians in the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries. The book deftly contextualizes the first encounters with Europeans, Spanish missions, Mexican secularization, the devastation of the Gold Rush and statehood, genocide, efforts to reclaim land, and the organization and activism for sovereignty that built today's casino economy. A text designed to fill the glaring need for an accessible overview of California Indian history, We Are the Land will be a core resource in a variety of classroom settings, as well as for policymakers interested in a history that centers the native experience.

Title: [Spanish] - La violencia invisible: Identificar, entender y superar la violencia psicológica que sufrimos (y ejercemos) en nuestra vida cotidiana Author: Jean-Charles Bouchoux Narrator: Ignacio Casas Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 4 hours 46 minutes Release date: July 26, 2022 Genres: Social Science Publisher's Summary: La violencia no son solo gritos y golpes. Hay muchas formas de violencia menos espectaculares. Más sutiles. Más insidiosas. A veces, la violencia invisible es «normal». Es «útil». Permite expresar frustración, por ejemplo, o tomar una decisión que nos hace progresar. Sin embargo, en muchas ocasiones, la violencia invisible es «tóxica». No sirve para nada. Peor aún: hace que quien la sufre se hunda en una profunda sensación de naufragio vital. Tras el éxito mundial de Los perversos narcisistas, el psicoterapeuta Jean-Charles Bouchoux quiere visibilizar este fenómeno, desvelar los mecanismos psicológicos que lo desencadenan y ofrecernos herramientas y pautas para tratarlo y superarlo en nuestra vida cotidiana: en el trabajo (o el colegio), en casa, en la pareja, etc. Pues, como afirma el autor, el estado natural de las personas es el amor y la alegría

Title: [German] - 'I can't breathe' - George Floyds Leben in einer rassistischen Welt (Ungekürzte Lesung) Author: Toluse Olorunnipa, Robert Samuels Narrator: Maya Alban-Zapata Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 15 hours 32 minutes Release date: July 1, 2022 Genres: Social Science Publisher's Summary: Am 25. Mai 2020 ging ein Video um die Welt, das den Mord an George Floyd zufällig festhielt: Ein Polizist kniet neun Minuten und 29 Sekunden auf Floyds Hals und lässt auch nicht davon ab, als Floyd mehrmals ruft: 'I can't breathe' - 'Ich kann nicht atmen!' Der Mord an George Floyd hat die Welt erschüttert und globale Black-Lives-Matter-Proteste gegen Rassismus und Polizeigewalt ausgelöst. In der ersten Biographie Floyds rekonstruieren die preisgekrönten Reporter Robert Samuels und Toluse Olorunnipa von der Washington Post die großen Zusammenhänge: Die Lebensgeschichte von George Floyd zeigt exemplarisch, wie Rassismus unsere Gesellschaften durchdringt und sein tödliches Gift entfaltet. Floyds Familie war schon seit Generationen Opfer von Rassismus. Und auch er selbst hatte mit den typischen Problemen eines Schwarzen in den USA zu kämpfen: ein Schulsystem, das Schwarze systematisch benachteiligt, die Hoffnung, durch den Sport dem Elend zu entkommen, die alltägliche Drangsalierung der Polizei, Erfahrungen im Gefängnis, Opioid-Sucht und die verzweifelten Versuche, ein normales Leben zu führen. Samuels und Olorunnipa haben für ihre Biographie mit mehr als 150 Menschen Interviews geführt, darunter Floyds Geschwister, erweiterte Familienmitglieder, Freunde, Kollegen, Beamte, Wissenschaftler und Aktivisten. Differenziert, breit recherchiert und packend erzählt, macht dieses Buch deutlich, wie tief die Probleme liegen und was auf dem Weg zu wahrer Gleichberechtigung zu tun bleibt.

Horwitz Narrator: Kate Mulligan Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 8 hours 35 minutes Release date: April 26, 2022 Genres: Social Science Publisher's Summary: The surprising ways in which a religious upbringing shapes the academic lives of teens It's widely acknowledged that American parents from different class backgrounds take different approaches to raising their children. Upper- and middle-class parents invest considerable time facilitating their children's activities, while working class and poor families take a more hands-off approach. These different strategies influence how children approach school. But missing from the discussion is the fact that millions of parents on both sides of the class divide are raising their children to listen to God. What impact does a religious upbringing have on their academic trajectories? Drawing on ten years of survey data with over three thousand teenagers and over two hundred interviews, God, Grades, and Graduation offers a revealing and at times surprising account of how teenagers' religious upbringing influences their educational pathways from high school to college. Dr. Ilana M. Horwitz estimates that approximately one out of every four students in American schools are raised with religious restraint. These students orient their life around God so deeply that it alters how they see themselves and how they behave, inside and outside of church. This book takes us inside the lives of these teenagers to discover why they achieve higher grades than their peers, why they are more likely to graduate from college, and why boys from lower middle-class families particularly benefit from religious restraint. But listeners also learn how for middle-upper class kids—and for girls especially—religious restraint recalibrates their academic ambitions after graduation, leading them to question the value of attending a selective college despite their stellar grades in high school. By illuminating the far-reaching effects of the childrearing logic of religious restraint, God, Grades, and Graduation offers a compelling new narrative about the role of religion in academic outcomes and educational inequality.
