  This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.   
  For seven years, Lorenzo Sellers debated MAGA supporters across dinner tables, social media threads, workplaces, and public forums. Not to win. To understand. 
  What he discovered is something most people never see. These debates were never about facts. They were about emotion, identity, belonging, and power. Facts don’t build movements. Strategy does. 
  Politics vs Power is a bold and unflinching guide to understanding why movements like MAGA grow so fiercely and why facts alone will never break their grip. Drawing from real conversations, psychological patterns, and cultural fault lines, Lorenzo reveals the emotional engines that power these movements and how to counter them with precision. 
  Inside you’ll learn: 
  *Why facts fall flat against emotional loyalty 
  *How belonging, power proximity, and rebellion keep people loyal 
  *How to recognize when someone is unreachable and when the real audience is watching 
  *Why outrage fuels movements and clarity dismantles them 
  *How to build spaces that meet emotional needs before extremism exploits them 
  This is not a partisan rant. It is a playbook for those tired of shouting into the void. Politics vs Power shows you how to stop reacting, start strategizing, and build influence that lasts long after the noise fades. 
  Whether you’re trying to reach someone who has fallen deep into the MAGA fold, protect your peace in conversations that go nowhere, or understand the real battlefield beneath the headlines, this book gives you the clarity and strategy you need to stand firm in the storm. 
  Politics is performance. Power is strategy. Learn the difference.

  Sex, after hunger, may be the most powerful motivating force in our lives. It drives us to seek intimate contact with others and to form relationships that may be fleeting or lifelong, blissful or troubled. Yet many mysteries surround sex and sexuality: Why don't we reproduce by virgin birth? Why does so much of our sexual behavior have nothing to do with reproduction? Why isn't everyone heterosexual? How does the brain create sexual arousal? How do sexual kinks develop? Is porn harmful? What is the relationship between sex and love? 
   
   
   
  In Attraction, Love, Sex, Simon LeVay introduces listeners to a memorable cast of researchers trying to answer these questions and many more. A biologist dredges a New Zealand lake for asexual mud snails. Psychologists measure whether eating a good meal changes a man's idea of female beauty. Physiologists place lovers in brain scanners. Geneticists reconstruct the sex crimes of Genghis Khan. Neuroscientists create mice whose sexual behavior can be switched on and off. A zoologist traps and releases 260,000 voles and launches a new science of love. 
   
   
   
  LeVay distills vast expertise on the biology and psychology of sex into an engaging and easy-to-understand survey. This book reveals how scientists are unraveling the secrets of sex and, in the process, shattering many traditional ideas and prejudices.

  A memoir for the bookish-inclined, using personal stories to demonstrate how books have a magical way to move a person from one stage of life to the next. 
   
   
   
  "This is a small gem of a book, tender, humble, loving." —Mary Gordon 
   
   
   
  "Sweeney makes a charming companion, telling stories in joyful reflection." —Jeff Deutsch, author of In Praise of Good Bookstores 
   
   
   
  Former bookseller, longtime publisher, and author Jon M. Sweeney shows—with history and anecdotes centering around books such as Thoreau's Journal, Tagore's Gitanjali, Martin Buber's Hasidic Tales, and Tolstoy's Twenty-three Tales—what it means to be carried by a book. He explores the discovery that once accompanied finding books, and books finding us. He ponders the smell of an old volume, its heft, and why bibliophiles carry them around even without reading them. He demonstrates how and why there is magic and enchantment that takes place between people and books.

  Describes what being a foster mom is really like, the effects of foster care on the whole family, and how the foster care system fails severely abused children. 
   
   
   
  Foster children are society's throwaway kids, the children no one wants—until someone finally does. Saving Michael provides an inside look at Keri Vellis's struggle to secure the best possible services for two severely abused and traumatized siblings. Listeners get a glimpse of Keri and her family's day-to-day life as she went from mother of three to adoptive mother of three more children and then the temporary caregiver of another seventeen. 
   
   
   
  Saving Michael delves into issues bigger than one family's experiences and determination. Now an author and child advocate, Vellis provides a profoundly personal look into what it takes to get the best for each of the children she's had in her care. Her journey started from the first day of her first foster care situation and the urgent need for diagnoses and treatment. Along the way, she details the many ups and downs, challenges and triumphs, her whole family experienced as part of the foster care system. All children deserve permanent, safe homes. The effort to obtain those for every child is a tremendous one not for the faint-hearted. But the rewards reverberate for everyone when it works.
