Title: Lies My Liberal Teacher Told Me: Debunking the False Narratives Defining America’s School Curricula Author: Wilfred Reilly Narrator: Mirron Willis Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 9 hours 28 minutes Release date: June 11, 2024 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: A college professor debunks the myths that have infiltrated America's school curricula. In 1995, James W. Loewen penned the classic work of criticism Lies My Teacher Told Me, a left-leaning corrective that addressed much of what was sanitized and omitted from American history books. But in the decades that followed, false leftist narratives—as wrong as those they supplanted—have come to dominate American academia and education. Now, in the same spirit but updated for 2024, Wilfred Reilly demolishes the scholastic myths propagated by the left, uncovers fresh angles on “established” events, and turns what we think we know about history upside down. Among the popular lies he debunks: “The ‘Red Scare’ was a moral panic that caught no commies” “Native Americans were peaceful people who spent all day dancing” “European colonialism was—empirically—a no-good, terrible, very bad thing” “The racist ‘Southern Strategy’ turned the South Republican” “The Vietnam War was unpopular and pointless” Lies My Liberal Teacher Told Me sets the record straight on many of these myths, explaining that there actually were communists in Hollywood; that many Native American tribes were cannibals, owned slaves and made them march the Trail of Tears with them; and that history, while almost always bad for Black Americans, was much worse for all of us than we tend to think it was.  Smart, irreverent, and deeply researched, Lies My Liberal Teacher Told Me will revolutionize your understanding of history and reveal a new and refreshing way to teach and think about the past.

Title: Everyday War: The Conflict over Donbas, Ukraine Author: Greta Lynn Uehling Narrator: Erin Bennett Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 7 hours 56 minutes Release date: February 15, 2023 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: Everyday War provides an accessible lens through which to understand what noncombatant civilians go through in a country at war. What goes through the mind of a mother who must send her child to school across a minefield or the men who belong to groups of volunteer body collectors? In Ukraine, such questions have been part of the daily calculus of life. Greta Uehling engages with the lives of ordinary people living in and around the armed conflict over Donbas that began in 2014 and shows how conventional understandings of war are incomplete. In Ukraine, landscapes filled with death and destruction prompted attentiveness to human vulnerabilities and the cultivation of everyday, interpersonal peace. Uehling explores a constellation of social practices where ethics of care were in operation. People were also drawn into the conflict in an everyday form of war that included provisioning fighters with military equipment they purchased themselves, smuggling insulin, and cutting ties to former friends. Each chapter considers a different site where care can produce interpersonal peace or its antipode, everyday war. Bridging the fields of political geography, international relations, peace and conflict studies, and anthropology, Everyday War considers where peace can be cultivated at an everyday level.

Title: Roe: The History of a National Obsession Author: Mary Ziegler Narrator: Chelsea Stephens Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 6 hours 0 minutes Release date: January 24, 2023 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 5 of Total 1 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: The leading US expert on abortion law charts the many meanings associated with Roe v. Wade during its fifty-year history What explains the insistent pull of Roe v. Wade? Abortion law expert Mary Ziegler argues that the US Supreme Court decision, which decriminalized abortion in 1973 and was overturned in 2022, had a hold on us that was not simply the result of polarized abortion politics. Rather, Roe took on meanings far beyond its original purpose of protecting the privacy of the doctor-patient relationship. It forced us to confront questions about sexual violence, judicial activism and restraint, racial justice, religious liberty, the role of science in politics, and much more. In this history of what the Supreme Court’s best-known decision has meant, Ziegler identifies the inconsistencies and unsettled issues in our abortion politics. She urges us to rediscover the nuance that has long resided where we would least expect to find it—in the meaning of Roe itself.

Title: The Struggle for a Decent Politics: On 'Liberal' as an Adjective Author: Michael Walzer Narrator: Robert Fass Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 5 hours 34 minutes Release date: January 17, 2023 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: A testament to what it means to be liberal by one of the most prominent political philosophers of our era There was a time when liberalism was an ism like any other, but that time, writes Michael Walzer, is gone. “Liberal” now conveys not a specific ideology but a moral stance, so the word is best conceived not as a noun but as an adjective—one is a “liberal democrat” or a “liberal nationalist.” Walzer itemizes the characteristics described by “liberal” in an inventory of his own deepest political and moral commitments—among other things, to the principle of equality, to the rule of law, and to a pluralism that is both political and cultural. Unabashedly asserting that liberalism is a universal set of values (“it must be universal,” he writes, “since it is under attack everywhere”), Walzer reminds us in this inspiring book why those values are worth fighting for.

Krieble Narrator: Marguerite Gavin Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 6 hours 22 minutes Release date: December 6, 2022 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: People are who they are because of what they have been through, where they came from, who they learned from, and all the things that have happened to them. The same is true not just for individuals, but also for families, communities, and nations. America, too, has its own unique character, also formed by its memories, history, things it has been through, and what it has learned. If people, communities, or even nations lose their memory, they lose their character. That is why cultures throughout the world work at maintaining their identity and passing traditions along to future generations. But what if a nation purposely decides it no longer wants to remember its history? What if a country imposes amnesia on itself? Helen Krieble argues persuasively that this is precisely what has happened to America. It has lost the memory of its own founding principles, and the sacrifices made over the past 250 years to preserve them. The nation is losing its character. She writes that America cannot be preserved as “the last best hope of Earth” if its own people no longer understand why that is true and are no longer willing to do what it takes to preserve it. “The duties of citizenship are vitally important,” Krieble writes, “but they are not complicated. It is our duty, as the owners, to defend our freedom against all threats, and to pass it along to future generations undiminished.” Americans are failing in that duty, but Krieble says there is still time to cure our national amnesia. It begins with rebuilding our understanding of, and commitment to, those founding principles, regaining our national memory.

Title: Political Choice in a Polarized America: How Elite Polarization Shapes Mass Behavior Author: Joshua N. Zingher Narrator: Jonathan Sleep Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 7 hours 39 minutes Release date: November 29, 2022 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: What motivates citizens to support one party over the other? Do they carefully weigh all of the relevant issues and assess which party or candidate best matches their own positions? Or do people look at politics as something more akin to a team sport—the specifics do not matter as long as you know what side your team is on? Answering these questions requires us to think about how much the average American knows about politics. Many scholars of public opinion believe that the majority of Americans only pay passing attention to politics. Thus the electorate's apparent lack of political competence presents a direct challenge to normative theories of democracy. How are citizens supposed to exert control over the government if they have no idea what is going on? In Political Choice in a Polarized America, Joshua N. Zingher argues that these fears are overblown. Not only do individuals have core beliefs about what the government should or should not do, but individuals have become more likely to support the party that best matches their policy attitudes by both identifying as a member of that party and voting for that party in elections. However, as Zingher demonstrates, voters' ability to match their attitudes to a party or candidate varies according to signals sent by elites and increases as parties become more polarized.

Bernick, Randy E. Barnett Narrator: David De Vries Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 18 hours 6 minutes Release date: November 22, 2022 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: Adopted in 1868, the Fourteenth Amendment profoundly changed the Constitution, giving the federal judiciary and Congress new powers to protect the fundamental rights of individuals from being violated by the states. Yet, according to Randy Barnett and Evan Bernick, the Supreme Court has long misunderstood or ignored the original meaning of the amendment's key clauses, covering the privileges and immunities of citizenship, due process of law, and the equal protection of the laws. Antislavery advocates advanced arguments informed by natural rights, the Declaration of Independence, and the common law. Although their arguments lost in the courts, the Republican Party was formed to advance an antislavery political agenda, eventually bringing about abolition. Then, when abolition alone proved insufficient to thwart Southern repression and provide for civil equality, the Fourteenth Amendment was enacted. Finally, Congress used its powers to pass Reconstruction-era civil rights laws that tell us much about the original scope of the amendment. The Original Meaning of the Fourteenth Amendment shows how the principles of the Declaration eventually came to modify the Constitution and proposes workable doctrines for implementing the key provisions of Section 1 of the Fourteenth Amendment.

Orenstein Narrator: Bob Johnson Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 6 hours 24 minutes Release date: October 25, 2022 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: Russia's stealth invasion of Ukraine and its assault on the US elections in 2016 forced a reluctant West to grapple with the effects of hybrid war. While most citizens in the West are new to the problems of election hacking, state-sponsored disinformation campaigns, influence operations by foreign security services, and frozen conflicts, citizens of the frontline states between Russia and the European Union have been dealing with these issues for years. The Lands in Between contends that these 'lands in between' hold powerful lessons for Western countries. For Western politics is becoming increasingly similar to the lands in between, where hybrid warfare has polarized parties and voters into two camps: those who support a Western vision of liberal democracy and those who support a Russian vision of nationalist authoritarianism. Paradoxically, while politics increasingly boils down to a zero sum 'civilizational choice' between Russia and the West, those who rise to the pinnacle of the political system in the lands in between are often non-ideological power brokers who have found a way to profit from both sides, taking rewards from both Russia and the West. Increasingly, the political pathologies of these small, vulnerable, and backwards states in Europe are our problems too. In this deepening conflict, we are all lands in between.

Sidhu Narrator: Adwait Karambelkar Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 9 hours 2 minutes Release date: September 21, 2022 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: The author, a former Special Secretary of India's external intelligence agency, the Research and Analysis Wing (R&AW) of the Cabinet Secretariat, examines a series of interconnected events that led to the rise of the Khalistan movement, Operation Blue Star, the assassination of Prime Minister Indira Gandhi in 1984 and the anti-Sikh violence unleashed thereafter. With a timeline that moves from seven years before to a decade after 1984, the book strives to answer critical questions that continue to linger till today. The narrative moves from Punjab to Canada, the US, Europe and Delhi, looking to sift the truth from political obfuscation and opportunism, examining the role that the ruling party allegedly played, and the heart-rending violence that devoured thousands of innocent lives in its aftermath.

Title: Cannibal Capitalism: How our System is Devouring Democracy, Care, and the Planet – and What We Can Do About It Author: Nancy Fraser Narrator: Kate Udall Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 7 hours 35 minutes Release date: September 20, 2022 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: A trenchant look at contemporary capitalism's insatiable appetite—and a rallying cry for everyone who wants to stop it from devouring our world Capital is currently cannibalizing every sphere of life—guzzling wealth from nature and racialized populations, sucking up our ability to care for each other, and gutting the practice of politics. In this tightly argued and urgent volume, leading Marxist feminist theorist Nancy Fraser charts the voracious appetite of capital, tracking it from crisis point to crisis point, from ecological devastation to the collapse of democracy, from racial violence to the devaluing of care work. These crisis points all come to a head in Covid-19, which Fraser argues can help us envision the resistance we need to end the feeding frenzy. What we need, she argues, is a wide-ranging socialist movement that can recognize the rapaciousness of capital—and starve it to death.

Title: [Spanish] - La inevitable globalización: Enfoque cultural y económico del escenario mundial Author: Oscar Sánchez Benavides, Jaime Cordero Cabrera, Julio Corcuera Portugal Narrator: Roberto Sánchez Format: Abridged Audiobook Length: 8 hours 36 minutes Release date: September 5, 2022 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: Barreras y distancias van quedando atrás. Día a día vivimos interconectados con los demás habitantes del mundo a través de un chat, una red social, una compra electrónica, una venta de productos nativos, una clase virtual o un club de fans oficial. Estamos sumergidos, sin querer, en un proceso que no termina y lo llamamos globalización. Sin embargo, este fenómeno que nos interconecta trae consigo una serie de retos y desafíos que afectan el modelo económico, el comercio mundial y los patrones de convivencia tal cual los conocemos. Paradójicamente, mientras más «cerca» estamos, gracias al avance tecnológico, más alejados nos encontramos para establecer relaciones humanas. La inevitable globalización es un compendio de ocho artículos dividido en dos partes. En los primeros artículos, Oscar Sánchez Benavides, Julio Corcuera Portugal, Jorge Illa Boris y Daniel Flores Bueno reflexionan sobre los orígenes del término y las características de anteriores procesos de globalización, así como el actual, los efectos de las crisis económicas desde fines del siglo XX, la trazabilidad para conocer el origen de los productos que consumimos y la historia de un emprendedor peruano conocido a nivel internacional que descubrió el mundo en un atlas. La segunda parte del libro está enfocada en las paradojas y trascendencias de una cultura interconectada bajo las perspectivas de Irma del Águila Peralta, Gisella López Lenci, Bruno Rivas Frías y Jaime Cordero Cabrera, quienes analizan los atentados en París en el año 2015, Los Beatles como un fenómeno decisivo en la globalización de la música, cinco películas de Hollywood que cuestionan los alcances de una interconexión tan celebrada y la dimensión global que ha alcanzado el fútbol en los últimos años. Todos los artículos que componen esta publicación son el resultado de las reflexiones que los autores realizaron en clases con sus estudiantes y otros docentes universitarios, a lo largo de dos años y medio de trabajo.

Title: [Portuguese] - Comércio Eletrônico e Serviços Digitais: dos conceitos internacionais e desenvolvimento normativo no bloco europeu às perspectivas do acordo Mercosul – União Europeia Author: Júlio César Parente Patrocínio Narrator: Voz Sintética Format: Abridged Audiobook Length: 8 hours 3 minutes Release date: July 29, 2022 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: O ambiente digital não tem fronteiras. A todo instante surge um novo modelo de negócio, produto ou serviço tecnológico. Junto com as facilidades e soluções que o desenvolvimento tecnológico traz, surgem também novos problemas, conflitos e litígios nas relações sociais e econômicas. As leis de diversos países muitas das vezes não conseguem acompanhar a rapidez do dinamismo digital. Ainda não há um consenso nas organizações internacionais de comércio sobre o conceito de serviços digitais e comércio eletrônico. É nesse cenário que a União Europeia-UE tem elaborado constantemente normas que regulam o ambiente digital, garantindo e aliando segurança jurídica e padronização das regras com a praticidade dessas novas relações sociais e de comércio, estimulando a inovação e o crescimento econômico. Enquanto não há consenso em relação ao tema na OMC e na OCDE, a UE vem influenciando legislações em todo o mundo e incluindo capítulos sobre comércio eletrônico em seus acordos comerciais de integração profunda com terceiros países. O livro analisa as diversas normas da UE que regulam o ambiente online, tais como: proteção de dados pessoais, comércio eletrônico, contrato eletrônico, publicidade, serviços digitais, direitos dos consumidores, tributação, assinatura e identificação eletrônica. Traz diversas jurisprudências do Tribunal de Justiça e dos tribunais nacionais da UE. É demonstrada a influência da UE no Mercosul, realizando análise das leis e jurisprudências dos países mercosulinos.

Title: [German] - GSG 9: Ein deutscher Mythos Author: Martin Herzog Narrator: Martin Herzog Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 15 hours 52 minutes Release date: July 20, 2022 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: Am 18. Oktober 1977 wurde in der Wüste Somalias ein deutscher Mythos geboren: Auf dem Flughafen von Mogadischu befreite die GSG9 aus einer entführten Lufthansa-Maschine 86 Menschen. Es war der erste große Einsatz der Antiterroreinheit, und er machte sie schlagartig weltbekannt. Der Mythos zerbrach 16 Jahre später auf dem Bahnhof von Bad Kleinen, als die Festnahme von RAF-Mitgliedern mit zwei Toten endete, und eine Staatskrise auslöste. 50 Jahre nach ihrer Gründung erzählt Martin Herzog von den Anfängen der GSG9, von Erfolgen und Fehlschlägen, aber auch von fragwürdigen Indienstnahmen durch Außenpolitik und Geheimdienste. Gestützt auf Archivrecherchen und Interviews mit Zeitzeug:innen liegt damit erstmals eine fundierte Geschichte dieser mythenumrankten Polizeieinheit vor.

Title: [Portuguese] - Violência doméstica e a Teoria da Ação Comunicativa: uma via possível para Brasil e Portugal Author: Ariane Simioni Narrator: Voz Sintética Format: Abridged Audiobook Length: 7 hours 6 minutes Release date: July 18, 2022 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: Violência doméstica e a Teoria da Ação Comunicativa: uma via possível para Brasil e Portugal tem um viés não convencional de abordagem da violência doméstica em ambos os países. A partir de um acurado mergulho da temática no contexto do constitucionalismo contemporâneo, realiza-se um estudo comparado acerca dos mecanismos jurídico-institucionais de proteção da mulher no Brasil e em Portugal. Analisam-se dados recentes sobre essa violência nos países e apresentam-se propostas de soluções dialogicamente construídas. A abordagem histórico-constitucional usada é uma diferenciadora se comparada às demais pesquisas existentes no mercado editorial ou acadêmico. Outro ponto de destaque é a fundamentação teórica a partir da teoria da ação comunicativa, de Jürgen Habermas. Noções como espaço público, discursividade, prática comunicativa, assumem singular adequação frente à temática central. Logo, trata-se de um universo imerso em uma construção dialógica entre os agentes racionais. Torna-se cada vez mais importante compreender a dinâmica das relações sociais que engendra processos discriminatórios, repressivos e mesmo criminógenos contra mulheres, em especial contra as imigrantes. Assim, a obra possui relevância para os pesquisadores, professores e estudantes de Teoria do Estado, Teoria da Democracia, Direito Internacional e Direito Constitucional, podendo ser aplicada tanto na graduação como na pós-graduação em Direito e áreas afins.

Title: The Return of the State: And Why It Is Essential for Our Health, Wealth, and Happiness Author: Graeme Garrard Narrator: Thom Rivera Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 5 hours 46 minutes Release date: June 14, 2022 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: A vigorous and timely defense of the state as a force for good For decades now wealth and power have been shifting from states to markets. This experiment has been a failure for all but a privileged few. But this trend is beginning to reverse, accelerated by the COVID-19 pandemic, which has seen the state play the most direct and positive role in citizens’ everyday lives in living memory. Graeme Garrard makes a powerful case for the state as our only realistic hope of countering the rising power of multinational corporations, organized crime, and international organizations that will always put their own interests first. Today, the state is essential to the health and welfare of everyone except the rich and powerful. Yet it is being rolled back and whittled away, leaving the well-being of most of us at the mercy of unaccountable private powers that are increasingly free from external control. As Garrard shows, the state is the only realistic way of promoting the public good in our time.

Title: Conservatism: A Rediscovery Author: Yoram Hazony Narrator: Richard Ferrone Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 16 hours 42 minutes Release date: May 17, 2022 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 5 of Total 1 Ratings of Narrator: 5 of Total 1 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: The idea that American conservatism is identical to “classical” liberalism—widely held since the 1960s—is seriously mistaken. The award-winning political theorist Yoram Hazony argues that the best hope for Western democracy is a return to the empiricist, religious, and nationalist traditions of America and Britain—the conservative traditions that brought greatness to the English-speaking nations and became the model for national freedom for the entire world. Conservatism: A Rediscovery explains how Anglo-American conservatism became a distinctive alternative to divine-right monarchy, Puritan theocracy, and liberal revolution. After tracing the tradition from the Wars of the Roses to Burke and across the Atlantic to the American Federalists and Lincoln, Hazony describes the rise and fall of Enlightenment liberalism after World War II and the present-day debates between neoconservatives and national conservatives over how to respond to liberalism and the woke left. Going where no political thinker has gone in decades, Hazony provides a fresh theoretical foundation for conservatism. Rejecting the liberalism of Hayek, Strauss, and the “fusionists” of the 1960s, and drawing on decades of personal experience in the conservative movement, he argues that a revival of authentic Anglo-American conservatism is possible in the twenty-first century.

Title: Taming the Rascal Multitude: Essays, Interviews, and Lectures 1997–2014 Author: Noam Chomsky Narrator: Donald Corren Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 19 hours 16 minutes Release date: May 17, 2022 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: As Noam Chomsky writes about something—US foreign policy, corporate policies, an election, or a movement—he is not only quite specific in recounting the topic and its facts but also exercises blisteringly relentless logic to discern the interconnections between the evidence and broader themes involved. This may seem mundane, but virtually every time, even aside from the details of the case in question, the process, the steps, the ways of linking one thing to another illustrate what it means to be a thinking, critical subject of history and society, in any time and place. Taming the Rascal Multitude is a judicious selection of essays and interviews from Z Magazine from 1997 to 2014. In each, Chomsky takes up some question of the moment. As such, in sum, the essays provide a historical overview of the history that preceded Trump and the reaction to Trump. The essays situate what followed even without having known what would follow. They explicate what preceded the current era and provide a step-by-step revelation. or how-to, for successfully comprehending social events and relations. They are a pleasure to listen to, much like the pleasure of watching a great athlete or performer, but they also edify. They educate.

Title: The Spirit of Laws Author: Baron De Montesquieu Narrator: Wanda Mccaddon Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 22 hours 24 minutes Release date: August 18, 2011 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: Originally published in 1748, this is possibly the most masterful and influential book ever written on the subject of liberty and justice. Accordingly, it is a work that profoundly influenced America’s Founding Fathers. Its success was due partly to the fact that it was the first systematic treatise on politics, partly to Montesquieu’s championship of the nobility and the Parliaments, but above all to the brilliant style of his prose. By the “spirit of laws,” Montesquieu means their raison d’être and the conditions determining their origin, development, and forms. Montesquieu discusses numerous topics, including the general functions of government, relations between the sexes, the morals and customs of the nation, economics and religion, and the theory of law and legislative practice.

Title: America Alone: The End of the World as We Know It Author: Mark Steyn Narrator: Brian Emerson Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 9 hours 54 minutes Release date: January 1, 2006 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: It’s the end of the world as we know it. Someday soon, you might wake up to the call to prayer of a muezzin. Europeans already do. Liberals tell us that “diversity is our strength”—while Talibanic enforcers cruise Greenwich Village burning books and barber shops, the Supreme Court decides that sharia law doesn’t violate the “separation of church and state,” and the Hollywood Left decides to give up on gay rights in favor of the much safer charms of polygamy. If you think this can’t happen, you haven’t been paying attention. In this hilarious New York Times bestseller, provocative columnist Mark Steyn uses his trademark wit, clarity of thought, and flair for the apocalyptic to argue that America is the only hope against Islamic terrorism. He addresses the singular position in which America finds itself, surrounded by anti-Americanism on all sides, and gives us the brutal facts on these threats and why there is no choice but for America to fight for the cause of freedom—alone.
