  This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.   
  Maybe We Were Stars is not a book of answers. It is a quiet journey through time, memory, and the fragile space between what we see and what we understand. 
  Each chapter moves through reflections on light, existence, and the strange beauty of being human — how we remember, how we fade, and how even what is lost can still shine. 
  Narrated with a contemplative voice that feels both distant and near, this audiobook carries the same poetic rhythm and wonder that shaped the written edition. 
  If you have ever felt out of place in your own timeline, if you have ever looked at the stars and wondered whether they were looking back, this is for you. 
  Gentle, haunting, and full of quiet hope, Maybe We Were Stars invites you to pause, to listen, and to remember that even fading light never truly disappears. 
  Written and edited by António Paulo Pugliese Martins. 
  Audio created using ElevenLabs AI narration.

  The Cost of Conviction - How Our...

  When you are faced with a decision, do you consider the best outcome, or do you consider your deepest values about which actions are appropriate? The Cost of Conviction contrasts these two primary strategies for making decisions: consequentialism, the former, or prioritizing one's sacred values, the latter. Steven Sloman argues that, while both modes of decision making are necessary tools for a good decision maker, people err by deploying sacred values more often than they should, especially when it comes to sociopolitical issues. In this book, Sloman provides a new understanding of today's societal ills and grounds that understanding in science. 
   
   
   
  The book begins by covering the philosophical and conceptual background of the two decision-making strategies, then takes a deep dive into the psychology of decision making. Drawing on historical and current examples of the use of the two strategies, the author provides a thorough overview of the psychology of decision making, including work on judgment, conscious and unconscious decision-making processes, the roles of emotion, and even an analysis of habit and addiction. 
   
   
   
  With its unique emphasis on sacred values, The Cost of Conviction is an eye-opening must-listen for all decision makers, especially those who wish to understand judgment, social decision making, and leadership.

  Brendan Behan wrote over one hundred articles for Irish newspapers between 1951 and 1956 as he rose to international fame, with most of them written in a weekly column in the Irish Press. The articles reveal a serious writer capable of great comic set pieces and amusing yarns as well as thoughtful reflections on cultural and historical issues. They reflect his passion for working-class Dublin life and the history and folklore of the city, as well as his travels in Ireland and Europe.
  
  
  This edition gathers all the articles and essays that Behan published in newspapers from 1951 to his death in 1964. Selections of Behan's articles have been published since his death (Hold Your Hour and Have Another, 1965; After the Wake, 1981; The Dubbalin Man, 1997). However, there has been no complete edition of Behan's prose, and no edition has provided a detailed biographical and literary introduction, explanatory notes and suggestions for further reading. This volume is intended for publication during the centenary celebrations of Behan's birth in 2023, with his birthday being 9 February.

  The Age of Imperialism - How...

  Imperialism, as a historical phenomenon, represents the policy or practice by which nations extend their influence and dominance over other territories. This expansion can occur through direct conquest, economic control, political manipulation, or cultural influence. The roots of imperialism stretch back to ancient empires such as Rome, Persia, and China, but the modern era of imperialism, often referred to as the “Age of Imperialism,” emerged in the 19th and early 20th centuries. This period was characterized by unprecedented territorial acquisitions, fueled by technological advances, economic ambitions, and shifting global power dynamics. 
  At its core, imperialism was driven by a combination of motives that included economic gain, political power, and a belief in cultural superiority. Industrialization played a pivotal role in shaping these ambitions, as European powers sought raw materials to fuel their growing industries and markets to sell their manufactured goods. The technological advancements of the Industrial Revolution, such as steamships, railways, and advanced weaponry, gave European nations a significant edge in their quest to dominate foreign lands. 
  Political and military motivations also underpinned the imperialist agenda. Nations viewed overseas colonies as symbols of prestige and power, integral to maintaining their position in a competitive global hierarchy. Strategic locations were secured to control vital trade routes, ensuring access to global markets and protecting national interests. This race for dominance often led to conflicts among colonial powers, as each sought to outmaneuver the other in gaining influence over untapped regions.
