  Tang poetry covers a wide range of subjects and has profound implications, shiny images, ornate diction and longstanding appeal. Different artistic styles and genres appeared at that time as if competing with one another for fascination. Many beautiful Tang poems are still on everyone's lips in China today and turn out to be gems in the treasure house of world literature. 
  The audiobook Selection of Tang Dynasty Poems contains the Tang Dynasty (618-907) poems from Selected Poems and Pictures of the Tang Dynasty, translated by Mr. Wang Yushu. Recited in Chinese and English by professionals, the audiobook is expected to help "readers" coming from varied language and cultural backgrounds to better enjoy the beauty of the Tang Dynasty poems.

  Why Isolation Is Stealing Your...

  This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice. For many people, sleep was never something they had to think about — until it changed. The nights grew longer, the waking more frequent, the mornings emptier of rest. And almost no one connects that change to the thing that actually caused it. 
   
  The change usually arrives with isolation. A partner lost. A marriage ended. A move, a retirement, an empty house, or simply years in which the connections quietly thinned. We treat loneliness as an emotional matter and sleep as a mechanical one — and so we look for the problem in the mattress, the caffeine, the stress, and never find it, because it was never there. 
   
  This book explains one of the most robust and least discussed findings in sleep science: that isolation degrades sleep through a specific, ancient biological mechanism. For most of human history, sleeping alone meant danger, and the brain built a protective vigilance directly into sleep itself — a vigilance that still runs today in millions of people who are perfectly safe and cannot understand why they can no longer rest. 
   
  Then it offers a genuine path back, in two parts. First, the practical tools that improve your sleep immediately — by sending your brain the signals of safety it is built to recognize, tonight, regardless of how connected your life currently is. And second, the deeper, slower work of rebuilding connection itself — explained not as vague encouragement to "reach out more," but through the actual mechanisms by which human bonds reliably form. 
   
  Honest about the difficulty. Clear about the science. And built, above all, to help.

  I Citizen - A Blueprint for...

  The majority of Americans are far closer in values than the ideological opinion-shapers lead us to believe. This book asks how we can restore the civic unity that our political elites have worked for years to dismantle.This is a story of hope, but also of peril. It began when our nation’s polarized political class started conscripting everyday citizens into its culture war. From their commanding heights in political parties, media, academia, and government, these partisans have attacked one another for years, but increasingly they’ve convinced everyday Americans to join the fray. Why should we feel such animosity toward our fellow citizens, our neighbors, even our own kin? Because we’ve fallen for the false narrative, eagerly promoted by pundits on the Left and the Right, that citizens who happen to vote Democrat or Republican are enthusiastic supporters of Team Blue or Team Red. Aside from a minority of party activists and partisans, however, most voters are simply trying to choose the lesser of two evils. The real threat to our union isn’t Red vs. Blue America, it’s the quiet collusion within our nation’s political class to take away that most American of freedoms: our right to self-governance. Even as partisans work overtime to divide Americans against one another, they’ve erected a system under which we ordinary citizens don’t have a voice in the decisions that affect our lives. From foreign wars to how local libraries are run, authority no longer resides with We the People, but amongst unaccountable officials. The political class has stolen our birthright and set us at one another’s throats. This is the story of how that happened and what we can do about it. America stands at a precipice, but there’s still time to reclaim authority over our lives and communities.

  A riveting investigation into a school, a scam, and a notorious college admissions scandal that exposes the inequalities and racial segregation of American education, from two award-winning New York Times journalistsT.M. Landry College Prep, a small private school in Breaux Bridge, Louisiana, boasted a 100 percent college acceptance rate, placing students at nearly every Ivy League university in the country. The spectacle of Landry students opening their acceptance letters to Harvard and Yale was broadcast on television and even celebrated by Michelle Obama. It became a national ritual to watch the miraculous success of these youngsters—miraculous because Breaux Bridge is one of the poorest counties in the country, ranked close to the bottom for test scores and high school graduation rates. T.M. Landry was said to be “minting prodigies,” and the prodigies were often black.How did the school do it? It didn’t: It was a scam, pulled off with fake transcripts and personal essays telling fake stories of triumph over adversity. Worse, Landry’s success concealed a nightmare of alleged abuse and coercion. In a yearslong investigation, Katie Benner and Erica L. Green explored the lives of the students, the school, the town, and Ivy League admissions to understand why black teens were pressured to trade in racial stereotypes of hardship for opportunity.Gripping and illuminating, Miracle Children argues that the lesson of T.M. Landry is not that the school gamed the system but that it played by the rules—that its deceptions and abuses were the outcome of segregated schools, inequitable education, and the belief that elite colleges are the nation’s last path to life-changing economic opportunity.A Macmillan Audio production from Metropolitan Books

  This edition brings Dewey’s educational theory into sharp focus, framing his two classic works by frank assessments, past and present, of the practical applications of Dewey’s ideas. In addition to a substantial introduction in which Philip W. Jackson explains why more of Dewey’s ideas haven’t been put into practice, this edition restores a “lost” chapter, dropped from the book by Dewey in 1915.
