Sinossi

New York State was a center of industry during World War II. New York aviation companies designed many of the greatest combat aircraft of the era, and bustling armies of women and men helped quickly churn them out by the thousands. More than one fourth of all US warplanes came from New York drawing boards during the war. These planes saw combat service everywhere, holding the line in the deserts of North Africa and flying from aircraft carriers plying the vast Pacific Ocean. Others operated over the frozen tundra of Alaska and Siberia. New York aircraft flew tons of fuel, ammunition, and supplies over the treacherous Himalayan Mountains into China, relentlessly hounded enemy submarines and ships, and battered Axis strongholds all the way to victory.

    The Story of Space – From Spirit Realms to Spacetime and Beyond takes listeners on an extraordinary journey through humanity’s evolving relationship with the cosmos. From the earliest myths of sacred skies and heavenly realms, to the philosophical concept of the aether, to the scientific revolutions of relativity and quantum theory, this audiobook traces the ever-shifting ways we have understood the nature of space itself. 
    Blending history, philosophy, science, and culture, this sweeping narrative reveals how each era has projected its deepest ideas, fears, and aspirations onto the vast expanse above us. Explore how space has been imagined not only by scientists and philosophers, but also by poets, artists, and dreamers - across cultures, languages, and spiritual traditions. 
    From the timeless myths of creation to Einstein’s curved spacetime, from the quantum void to the imaginative frontiers of science fiction, The Story of Space uncovers the many dimensions - physical, cultural, psychological, and spiritual - of this endless mystery. 
    If you’ve ever looked up at the night sky and wondered what it truly means, this audiobook offers a guide to the evolving tapestry of ideas that have shaped our vision of the universe.

    What drives someone to commit the unthinkable?
    Austin 1966. Dunblane 1996. Port Arthur 1996. Utøya 2011. 
    In this deeply insightful account, pre-eminent forensic psychiatrist Paul E. Mullen examines the complex psychology behind lone mass killers. With unflinching clarity, he burrows into the minds of these damaged individuals, drawing on his decades of forensic work assessing mass murderers first-hand. 
    Mullen brings readers into a dark landscape populated with killers who have achieved the ugly fame they had sought – in the US, UK, Australia, Norway and beyond – as well as lesser-known, equally chilling cases. He illuminates troubling patterns that unite the perpetrators, such as obsessive rage, personal grievance, fascination with weapons and yearning for infamy, often culminating in suicide. He also considers the impact of media sensationalism on the killers' grandiose fantasies and proposes steps toward better threat assessment and identification of warning signs. 
    Challenging myths around madness and violence, Mullen reveals the unsettling truth: these killers are not incomprehensible monsters, but profoundly disturbed people shaped by knowable forces that, when properly understood, can be countered effectively. Running Amok does not simply examine tragedy; it is a call to action, urging society to confront the shadows and prevent the next horror.

    If you’ve ever read a philosophy paper and wondered, “Did they really need that many syllables to say absolutely nothing?”—this book is for you. 
    Sophia Anne Blackwell, the wildly irreverent creator of the Cogito Ergo Nope! series, returns with her most hilariously scathing book yet: a no-holds-barred takedown of philosophy’s greatest (and most obscurantist) offenders. From the ancient Greeks who invented making things harder than they need to be, to French theorists who turned not making sense into a career, Big Words, Small Ideas traces the glorious tradition of intellectual smoke and mirrors with biting wit and actual clarity. 
    In this book, you’ll meet: 
    Plato, who decided the real world was just a sad knockoff of Ideas That Don’t Exist 
    Aristotle, who invented philosophical filing cabinets with seventeen drawers too many 
    Plotinus, who tried to write about the indescribable in several hundred pages 
    Kant, who made thinking about thinking so hard you’d wish you never started 
    Hegel, the man who weaponized run-on sentences 
    Heidegger, who wrote an entire book about Being without explaining what Being means 
    And a whole cast of modern academics who think obscurity = genius 
    With ruthless humor, surprising accuracy, and zero patience for jargon masquerading as depth, Blackwell takes you on a tour through the theater of philosophical absurdity—and dares to ask the forbidden question: What the hell are they actually talking about? 
    Whether you’re a recovering philosophy major, a curious outsider, or just someone who’s tired of pretending to understand Lacan, this book is your guide to 3,000 years of intellectual gaslighting—with jokes.
