  This audiobook narrated by Kate Harper examines how the financial pressures of paying for college affect the lives and well-being of middle-class families
  
  The struggle to pay for college is one of the defining features of middle-class life in America today. At kitchen tables all across the country, parents agonize over whether to burden their children with loans or to sacrifice their own financial security by taking out a second mortgage or draining their retirement savings. Indebted takes readers into the homes of middle-class families throughout the nation to reveal the hidden consequences of student debt and the ways that financing college has transformed family life.
  
  Caitlin Zaloom gained the confidence of numerous parents and their college-age children, who talked candidly with her about stressful and intensely personal financial matters that are usually kept private. In this remarkable book, Zaloom describes the profound moral conflicts for parents as they try to honor what they see as their highest parental duty—providing their children with opportunity—and shows how parents and students alike are forced to take on enormous debts and gamble on an investment that might not pay off. What emerges is a troubling portrait of an American middle class fettered by the "student finance complex"—the bewildering labyrinth of government-sponsored institutions, profit-seeking firms, and university offices that collect information on household earnings and assets, assess family needs, and decide who is eligible for aid and who is not.
  
  Superbly written and unflinchingly honest, Indebted breaks through the culture of silence surrounding the student debt crisis, revealing the unspoken costs of sending our kids to college.

  Jack the Ripper: A Psychic Investigation is the story of the author's journey into the heart of a mystery that has haunted the popular imagination for well over a 100 years. The grisly details both fascinate and repel, and the apparent lack of an understandable motive makes the story even more bewildering. 
   
  Pamela Ball uses both astrology and channelling to cast a startling new light on a puzzle that has baffled experts ever since the gruesome murders were committed in Whitechapel back in 1888. Using her psychic skills combined with a detailed study of the political and social background of the time, she is able to shatter many of the myths and preconceptions that have built up around Jack the Ripper and points to conclusions that take us closer than we have ever been to solving the riddle of who did commit the atrocious killings.

  The Capitalist Economy and its...

  Notwithstanding its ruthless dynamics, the capitalist economy has the flaw of deficient employment-generating spending. This leads to unemployment of non-owners, individual suffering, social unrest and it undermines military strength. To deal with these issues, states use prosthetic policies, artificial transfers to the productive economy and to non-owners. But the funding of such prosthetic policies - through violent wealth appropriation abroad, protectionism, war, domestic expropriation and taxation, debt and money creation - is caught in dilemmas, while politicians are caught between non-solutions. According to Gerhard H. Wächter, the history of capitalist society is largely the history of this dilemmatic brotherhood.

  Welcome to London's marriage season. Six high society women are preparing for the biggest moment of their lives: finding a suitable husband. But their stories aren't what you may have read in historic romances by Julia Quinn or Georgette Heyer. In The Game of Hearts, go behind the drawing-room door with history author Felicity Day and delve into the competitive world of love, scandal, and fortune. With shocking revelations about London's most eligible heiresses and the society they live in, you'll see British history and love stories from a whole new perspective. 
   
   
   
  May the best lady win. For our six privileged debutantes, life wasn't like a Regency romance; they had to work for their happily ever after. Even if it meant competing with dozens of other women who want the same thing. By using the letters, diaries, and other confessions from our heroines, Felicity Day shares how they and many other Regency women combined attraction with practicality to navigate upper-class British society, known as the ton, and its courtship rituals. And with obstacles such as scandals, rakes, and social warfare, you'll discover how love and success may not always win, but perseverance shall. 
   
   
   
  So if you liked historic women biographies like Jane Austen at Home, The Palace Papers, or A Room of Their Own, then you'll love The Game of Hearts.
