After the Citadel and Officer Candidate School, Andrew Z. Adkins Jr. was sent to the 80th Infantry Division, then training in the California-Arizona desert. There, he was assigned as an 81mm mortar section leader in Company H, 2nd Battalion, 317th Infantry Regiment. Lieutenant Adkins and his fellow soldiers took part in light hedgerow fighting that served to shake the division down and familiarize the troops and their officers with combat. While scouting for mortar positions in the woods, Adkins met a group of Germans and shot one of them dead with his carbine. This baptism in blood settled the question faced by every novice combatant: He was cool under fire, capable of killing when facing the enemy. Adkins acted with skill and courage, placing himself at the forefront of the action whenever he could. His extremely aggressive delivery of critical supplies to a cut-off unit in an embattled French town earned him a Bronze Star, the first in his battalion. Before his death, Andy Adkins was able to face his memory of war as bravely as he faced war itself. In 1944-45, he did his duty to his men and country—and here, he serves new generations of military and civilian listeners.Mostra libro
What happens when you finally listen, not to the noise of the world, but to the quiet hum beneath it? In Interlude, Ellen Nasser gathers the memories, moments, and melodies that have shaped her life into a book that feels like sitting with a trusted friend. From sunlit childhood afternoons in Saltcoats to the foggy edge of midlife reflection, she traces the threads of motherhood, meaning, and belonging with all the mess and the music that shimmer in between. This is not a memoir about having the answers. It is a permission slip: to pause, to soften, to laugh and grieve, to let yourself feel without rushing to fix. It is a companion for anyone longing to hear their own quiet voice again, to remember that the self beneath all the roles we play has always been there. Told first through audio, with Ellen’s own voice and original music, Interlude is meant to be heard, felt, and carried with you, like a familiar melody that keeps calling you back to yourself.Mostra libro
This program is read by the author.The empowering, inspiring, patriarchy-smashing first audiobook by podcast star Drew Afualo. With a new afterword from the author!Drew Afualo is best known as the internet’s “Crusader for Women” and is at the head of a new generation of entertainment’s rising stars. Loud is part manual, part manifesto, and part memoir. It makes it clear that behind her fearsome laugh is a mission and a life philosophy, a strategy for self-confidence from the inside out, and a pathway to once and for all remove men from the center of how women and femmes think about themselves.Afualo has amassed more than nine million followers across her social platforms. When she first started creating content in 2020, she realized that men on Instagram, Twitter, TikTok, and other apps were creating sexist content aimed at disparaging women, and also containing rampant fatphobia, racism, and other forms of bigotry, with very real-life consequences. It didn’t take long for her to step into the role of unofficial watchdog for misogyny, and her signature laugh is now recognized as a feminist call to arms, a summoning cry to rid the internet (and our hearts, minds, and lives) of “terrible men” and create a space to fight outdated patriarchal ideals.A Macmillan Audio production from AUWA Books.Mostra libro
