Abundanomics – Unlocking the Real Wealth of Nations

Bruce Francis Schaafsma

Casa editrice: Austin Macauley Publishers

Sinossi

Scarcity has been the driving force of decision makers throughout the ages.

The necessity of choosing between competing wants and needs has always underpinned outcomes. However, we are now in an age of abundance – abundance in goods and services, information, in wealth, and abundance in ways to fairly distribute the rich bounty the world provides.

The problem is we don't! The rich are getting richer, and the poor are getting poorer. People across the world are dying of hunger, thirst, and curable disease in their millions every year.

We have the ability now, like never before, to rebalance the scales of humanity.

The aim of the book is to create discussion with a view to attaining a collective realisation and belief that we can build a better future for everyone.

Child Protection in America - A...

John E.B. Myers

Child abuse and neglect are tragically common. Each year, more than 1,000 American children die due to maltreatment. Thousands more suffer physical abuse, sexual abuse, and neglect. Across the country, every community has a system of government-operated and funded child protective services (CPS). But given that social workers of CPS have the authority to remove children from unsafe parents, it is no surprise that CPS is controversial. Does CPS protect children? Does CPS do more good than harm? Is CPS fundamentally racist, as some critics argue? Should CPS be abolished? To answer these questions, it is essential to understand the origins of child protection in America. How did we arrive at the child protection system in place today? This book traces the history of child protection from colonial times to the present and provides the most in-depth analysis ever published of the origins of child protection.

The Survivor of the Holocaust

Jack Eisner

When Hitler's Nazis marched into Poland, it brought an abrupt, cruel end to Jack Eisner's childhood, shattered his loving family, and turned his peaceful Jewish community into a nightmarish world of atrocity and murder. Instead of entering the Warsaw Music Conservatory, to which he'd won a scholarship, Jack found himself climbing cemetery walls, leaping over rooftops, and tunneling through sewers with a gang of fellow teenagers to smuggle food, hope, and survival into his besieged home. 
 
 
 
Pulse-pounding and chillingly graphic, Jack's story takes you into the terror of the Warsaw ghetto . . . to the clandestine meetings with Christian friends who risk their lives to help the teenagers . . . and alongside young rebels as they raise the flag with the Star of David in the final, unforgettable moments of the daring but doomed Warsaw uprising. 
 
 
 
From the rubble of the ghetto to the horror of the concentration and slave labor camps, The Survivor of the Holocaust is both a stunning chronicle and a poignant true story of a young man sustained by his passionate desire to be reunited with the girl he loves. It also stands as captivating memorial to the 100 members of a single family who perished, told by one among them who—pitted against overwhelming odds—clung fiercely to their life-affirming message.

Road to the Alamo The: How...

Hank Wilson

The Alamo is one of the most recognized battles in American history, but the story most people know begins too late and ends too simply. 
In The Road to the Alamo, historian Hank Wilson takes listeners far beyond the final battle, tracing the centuries of conflict, cultural collision, political ambition, and human decision-making that ultimately led to the events of 1836. From the earliest Spanish influence in Texas to the rise of revolution, Wilson presents a sweeping and balanced narrative that explores both Texian and Mexican perspectives, revealing how history is shaped as much by choices and consequences as by battlefield action. 
Through vivid storytelling and carefully researched scholarship, this audiobook brings listeners inside the siege of the Alamo, the dramatic final assault, and the far-reaching aftermath that reshaped Texas and influenced American expansion. But this is not simply a war story. It is a story of leadership, miscalculation, sacrifice, and the powerful role memory plays in how history is remembered.

Homer's Iliad and Odyssey - A...

Alberto Manguel

A worldwide exploration of the history, purpose, and inescapable influence of the Iliad and the Odyssey that will inspire listeners to think anew about Homer's work 
 
 
  
No one knows whether Homer was a real person, but there is no doubt that the epic poems assembled under his name are foundations of Western literature. The Iliad and the Odyssey—with their tales of the Trojan War, Achilles, Odysseus and Penelope, the Cyclops, the beautiful Helen of Troy, and the petulant gods—have inspired us for over two and a half millennia and influenced writers from Plato to Virgil, Pope to Joyce, and Dante to Margaret Atwood. 
 
 
  
In this graceful and sweeping book, Alberto Manguel traces the lineage of Homer's poems. He examines their original purpose, either as allegory or record of history; surveys the challenges the pagan poems presented to the early Christian world; and looks at their reception after the Reformation through the present day. In this revised and expanded edition, Manguel ignites new ways of thinking about these classic works.
