Sinopse

Census Impact explores the profound role of the U.S. Census in shaping American politics and resource allocation. More than a simple headcount, the census profoundly influences congressional apportionment, determining how many representatives each state sends to the House. Intriguingly, the historical context reveals that the census has always been intertwined with political debates, exemplified by the "three-fifths compromise," underscoring its deep-seated impact on political power.

 
The book progresses chronologically, tracing the census's evolution, from its origins to modern methodologies. It examines the constitutional mandate for apportionment and analyzes the allocation of billions in federal funding based on census data.

 
The book uniquely offers a data-driven analysis, revealing how demographic shifts and census accuracy directly impact communities, reflecting and reinforcing existing social inequalities while also providing a tool for addressing them.

    This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.   
    A century ago, life was far more fragile. Houses were smaller and colder, transport was slow, food security was uncertain and medical care was limited. Rights and opportunities were often restricted to a privileged few. 
    Today, much of what we take for granted - electricity, clean water, reliable medicine, education, democracy and human rights - has been built on a hundred years of extraordinary change. 
    Then and Now: A Century of Global Progress explores this remarkable transformation, comparing everyday life in 1925 with 2025 across the globe. From housing and health to communication, transport, culture and the environment, it reveals how societies have shifted and how ordinary people’s lives have improved. 
    Through stories and examples from every continent, this book offers more than a history of progress - it is a reminder of how far we’ve come, how resilience and creativity have shaped the modern world and how gratitude and perspective can change the way we see our present and our future. 
    For readers of history, sociology and anyone who wants to appreciate the gift of progress, this is an inspiring journey through the last century of human achievement.

    'I did not come here just to receive the royal honour. My son is a panch hazari Mansabdar under the Badshah. He can be made to stand wherever the Badshah wishes him to. But I am not a servant of the Badshah! I am a Raja in my own right!'
    The three of them returned, unable to convince Shivaji. They explained the situation to the Badshah when Ram Singh said, 'Alijah! It seems the hot Agra weather has not suited Raje. Please pardon him. He will present himself soon.'
    'I can understand his feelings,' said Aurangzeb.
    'Ram Singh, please sprinkle my special gulab jal on him to cool him down. Please request him to come back. We will then talk.'

    “[Suleyman’s] narration brings a palpably chilling authority to a story she shouldn’t have to tell.” — Vulture 
    A devastating personal testimony and a searing indictment of persistent misogyny. 
    In January 2017, Chimene Suleyman was on her way to an abortion clinic in Queens, New York with her boyfriend, the father of her nascent child. It was the last day they would spend together. In an extraordinary sequence of events, Chimene was to discover the truth of her boyfriend's life: that the man she’d loved had gaslit, lied to, stolen from, and painfully betrayed her and many others. 
    In this spellbinding memoir, Suleyman exposes one man's control over many women and the trauma he left behind and celebrates the sisterhood that formed in his wake despite—and in spite of—him. With radiant prose and incisive observation, Suleyman questions society’s complicity in allowing those who would do women harm to flourish and contemplates why others remain silent witnesses by accepting and normalizing shameless behavior towards women. She demonstrates how women themselves are acculturated to perform prescribed roles of giver and nurturer, to be self-sacrificing and subordinate, and to bolster the egos of others by remaining silent and ignoring their own protective instincts. 
    A soul-baring story, brilliant cultural critique, and celebration of the healing power of sisterhood, The Chain is a book for any woman who has questioned her relationship and buried her doubts, for any woman who can't quite identify the source of her unease and for any woman who has been sheltered by the fierce protection of her female friends.

    In a world increasingly shaped by fear, division, and rising authoritarianism, Finding My Humanity is a timely memoir that invites us back to what connects us most—our mutual capacity for love, empathy, and courage- indeed our shared humanity. Ryan Ubuntu Olson's journey begins in rural Colorado, where he wrestles with his identity in a community that offers little space for difference. As a queer young man navigating isolation, discrimination, and heartbreak, he is forced to reckon with what it means to live authentically in the face of rejection. But what begins as a personal struggle evolves into something far greater. On a conservative Catholic college campus, Ryan Ubuntu unexpectedly becomes a public advocate, confronting bias and building community. That role propels him into global human rights work, where he supports activists and inclusive development efforts in countries like Kenya, Jamaica, Peru, Malawi, and Cambodia. From the grassroots to the halls of the United Nations, Ryan Ubuntu becomes a bridge between lived experience and global policy, shaping strategies for inclusion and dignity worldwide. More than a memoir, Finding My Humanity is a reflection on what it means to turn pain into purpose—and how one person’s story can spark collective action. With raw honesty and unwavering hope, Ryan Ubuntu explores how our personal "why" can become a driving "how" in the fight for justice, connection, and change. Narrated by the author himself, the audiobook seeks to add deeper meaning to the memoir by adding the human depth and conviction that can only be expressed in the tone and intonation of the person most impacted by the memoir's greatest meaning. Whether you're seeking purpose, healing, or inspiration, this is a book for anyone ready to lead with heart in a world hungry for hope.
