Sinopse

The Making of a Copper King!Born in 1841 to tenant farmers, Marcus Daly came from ruralIreland to New York as a boy. Having learned the big city’s harsh lessons, he traveled west to the gold and silver mining camps ofCalifornia, Nevada, Utah and Montana. Then, a spectacular discovery in the Anaconda mine him one of Montana’s famed Copper Kings. Yet, his early life remained shrouded in myth. Famed for his machinations in state politics and shaping Butte into the “Richest Hill on Earth,” his path from farm boy to mining king has been overlooked. For the first time, author Brenda Wahler brings his secretive and formative early years to life.

    We Need to Talk - How to Have...

    “WE NEED TO TALK.” 
    They are, perhaps, the most dreaded four words in the English language. But in her timely, insightful, and wonderfully practical audiobook, We Need to Talk, Celeste Headlee—who earns a living by talking on the airwaves of National Public Radio—makes the case that they are urgently needed. 
    Today most of us communicate from behind electronic screens, and studies show that Americans feel less connected and more divided than ever before. The blame for some of this disconnect can be attributed to our political landscape, but the erosion of our conversational skills as a society lies with us as individuals.  
    And the only way forward, says Headlee, is to start talking to each other. In We Need to Talk, she outlines the strategies that have made her a better conversationalist—and offers simple tools that can improve anyone’s communication. For example: BE THERE OR GO ELSEWHERE. Human beings are incapable of multitasking, and this is especially true of tasks that involve language. Think you can type up a few emails while on a business call, or hold a conversation with your child while texting your spouse? Think again.CHECK YOUR BIAS. The belief that your intelligence protects you from erroneous assumptions can end up making you more vulnerable to them. We all have blind spots that affect the way we view others. Check your bias before you judge someone else.HIDE YOUR PHONE. Don’t just put down your phone, put it away. New research suggests that the mere presence of a cell phone can negatively impact the quality of a conversation.  
    Whether you’re struggling to communicate with your kid’s teacher at school, an employee at work, or the people you love the most—Headlee offers smart strategies that can help us all have conversations that matter.

    Dark Ages

    In this luminous essay, Thoreau calls us to reconsider how we view the past: not as a rigid ledger of facts, but as a shifting landscape of light and shadow. He asks us to read history “as little critically as we consider the landscape, and be more interested by the atmospheric tints … than by its groundwork and composition.” 
    From the twilight of ages to the dawn of our own perception, this work invites you to sit on the mound of time, gaze through the mist of memory, and recognise that the true monument is not the stone carved in antiquity, but the living moment we inhabit now. Listen as Fiona Spreadborough gives voice to this meditation on existence, memory and the eternal laws of light. 
    Ideal for listeners drawn to thoughtful reflection, transcendental inquiry, and the subtle beauty of ideas.

    Only 40 years after the Spanish arrival in Cusco, Peru, Pedro Sarmiento de Gamboa  (1532–1592) was commissioned in 1572 by Francisco de Toledo, the fifth Viceroy of Peru, to write a history of the Incas. Toledo intended this history to justify Spanish colonization by documenting the violent and tyrannical nature of the Inca rulers. Sarmiento gathered information through extensive interviews with indigenous informants, former Incan nobles, local leaders, and surviving Spanish conquistadors. To ensure accuracy, his manuscript was read and reviewed by 42 indigenous authorities before publication. 
    This audiobook presents a reading of Sarmiento de Gamboa’s chapter on one of the most influential and formidable Inca emperors: Túpac Inca Yupanqui, the tenth Sapa Inca. Like his father Pachacuti and his son Huayna Capac, Túpac Inca expanded the Inca Empire, bringing under Inca control the territories of much of present-day Peru, Chile, Bolivia, Ecuador, Argentina, and beyond. He also lived to an advanced age and fathered nearly one hundred children. 
    The narrator is Michael Henrik Wynn, editor of the educational net radio stream historyradio.org.
