  Practical Stoicism - Your Action...

  What if a steadier, calmer mind had nothing to do with changing your circumstances — and everything to do with how you meet them? 
  You read the quotes and nod along to the wisdom. Then the insult lands, the plan falls apart, or the day blurs into the same routine — and every bit of hard-won calm evaporates. Knowing what a Stoic would do is not the same as doing it when it counts. 
  The problem was never good intentions. It's that nobody handed you the practice — the small, repeatable actions that turn a good idea into how you carry yourself under pressure. 
  This is stoicism as daily exercise, not a museum piece. In this audiobook, you'll discover:How to triage your day — separate what truly deserves your energy from what only feels urgent.The discipline of voluntary discomfort — deliberately trimming comforts, like sleep, so hardship loses its grip on you.How to disarm an insult — respond to criticism without letting it hijack your mood or self-worth.Cognitive distancing — separate an event from the story you tell about it, so your first reaction stops running your life.How to stop playing the victim — reclaim the one thing always in your control when everything else isn't.The quiet power of doing less — simplify your commitments until your attention has room to breathe.Gratitude you can actually feel — appreciate what you already have, even on the days it feels forced. 
  Each chapter pairs a Stoic principle with a concrete action and room to journal your thoughts, so the ideas move from your ears into your habits rather than staying abstract. 
  You don't need a philosophy degree or hours of spare time — only the willingness to try one practice at a time. Start where you are, and let a calmer, more deliberate life build itself.

  Platform Capitalism

  What unites Google and Facebook, Apple and Microsoft, Siemens and GE, Uber and Airbnb? Across a wide range of sectors, these firms are transforming themselves into platforms: businesses that provide the hardware and software foundation for others to operate on. This transformation signals a major shift in how capitalist firms operate and how they interact with the rest of the economy: the emergence of platform capitalism. 
   
   
   
  This book critically examines these new business forms, tracing their genesis from the long downturn of the 1970s to the boom and bust of the 1990s and the aftershocks of the 2008 crisis. It shows how the fundamental foundations of the economy are rapidly being carved up among a small number of monopolistic platforms, and how the platform introduces new tendencies within capitalism that pose significant challenges to any vision of a post-capitalist future. This book will be essential for anyone who wants to understand how the most powerful tech companies of our time are transforming the global economy.

  America's Forgotten Terrorists -...

  Jeffrey D. Simon

  Though largely forgotten today, one of the most destructive terrorist groups in the United States was the Galleanists, a fiery band of Italian anarchists active during the early 1900s. In America's Forgotten Terrorists, Jeffrey D. Simon shows how alienation and frustration among segments of a community were transformed into a militant extremist movement. 
   
   
   
  Luigi Galleani, a gifted writer and speaker, tapped into widespread disappointment among Italian immigrants concerning their lives in America. Unemployment, low wages, long working hours, discrimination, and a poor quality of life made many Italian immigrants receptive to his words. The Galleanists introduced terrorist tactics and strategies that are still used today: they were the first group to send package bombs across the country and to exploit the media for their own advantage. 
   
   
   
  The story of the Galleanists is a chilling journey through a volatile period in American history, including labor-management conflicts, World War I, and the Red Scare. An expert in terrorism, Simon offers striking insights into the Galleanist era and some of its eerie connections to modern America, calling us to recognize the risks of repeating our history. How the Galleanists operated and how the U.S. government responded hold lessons for today as we continue to deal with the threat of terrorism.

  The second edition of Drones: What Everyone Needs to Know® provides a comprehensive and updated look at the rapidly evolving world of drones, otherwise known as unmanned or uncrewed aerial vehicles (UAVs). Covering the past, present, and future of military and civilian applications, this book explores how drones have transformed—and are transforming—industries and warfare. It delves into the ethical, legal, and safety concerns raised by their widespread use, examining issues from privacy violations to international security.While the US has historically been a dominant force in drone development, this fully updated volume addresses the global proliferation of drones. They quickly became one of the most effective weapons in the Russia-Ukraine War, and states like China, Iran, and Turkey are now supplying drones to states and violent non-state actors around the world. Drones also expands beyond the air to cover ground and maritime drones, and projects the future of drone technology across multiple domains with a focus on autonomous vehicles and lethal autonomous weapons. A must-listen for anyone seeking a well-rounded understanding of this pivotal technology, Drones: What Everyone Needs to Know® provides crucial insights into how UAVs are reshaping modern warfare, domestic security, and civilian life.
