Sinopse

Infrastructure Gaps explores the profound impact of inadequate infrastructure planning on societies, examining how it can stifle economic development and diminish quality of life. The book argues that effective planning goes beyond simply building infrastructure; it requires strategically anticipating future needs and promoting equitable, sustainable development.

 
One intriguing insight is how urban congestion, resulting from poor road networks and insufficient public transportation, not only incurs economic costs but also has significant environmental and social consequences. Another critical area explored is the provision of essential utilities, such as water and electricity, revealing how deficient planning can lead to unreliable service and exacerbate social disparities.

 
The book adopts an interdisciplinary approach, drawing from political science, architecture, and urban planning to provide a holistic understanding of the complexities involved. It begins by establishing a contextual understanding of infrastructure planning, followed by a detailed exploration into the detrimental outcomes of poor planning, such as urban congestion, inadequate utilities, and failing public services.

 
By presenting evidence-based analyses and diverse perspectives, Infrastructure Gaps empowers readers to advocate for more strategic, equitable, and sustainable development, making it an invaluable resource for policymakers, urban planners, and engaged citizens alike.

Sasanian Empire - Ancient...

Kelly Mass

The Sasanian Empire, often referred to by historians as the Neo-Persian Empire, was the last significant Iranian empire before the Muslim invasions of the 7th and 8th centuries AD. Named after the House of Sasan, this empire lasted nearly four centuries, from 224 to 651 AD, making it the longest-lived Persian imperial dynasty. The Sasanian Empire emerged during late antiquity, succeeding the Parthian Empire and re-establishing Persian prominence in the region, rivaling the Roman Empire (later known as the Byzantine Empire after 395 AD).
Ardashir I, an Iranian prince, founded the Sasanian Empire following the decline of Parthia, which was weakened by internal strife and pressures from Rome. After defeating the last Parthian king, Artabanus IV, at the Battle of Hormozdgan in 224, Ardashir set out to restore the glory of the Achaemenid Empire by expanding Iran's territories. Under the Sasanian rule, the empire stretched from the eastern Mediterranean, including Anatolia and Egypt, to parts of modern-day Pakistan. It also extended across southern Arabia, the Caucasus, and Central Asia. According to mythology, the Derafsh Kaviani served as the vexilloid of the Sasanian Empire.
The Sasanian period was marked by significant advancements in culture, architecture, and religion. Zoroastrianism became the state religion, shaping the empire's identity and influencing its governance. The Sasanians promoted a rich cultural life, characterized by advancements in art, science, and philosophy. They established grand cities with impressive architecture, including palaces, fire temples, and public spaces that highlighted their achievements.

Herman Melville - A Very Short...

Maurice S. Lee

Best known as the author of Moby-Dick (1851), Herman Melville is one of America's greatest writers. His achievements range from popular novels and experimental fiction to powerful poetry. His works are tragic and funny, impassioned and ironic, obsessed with philosophical seeking and attuned to the details of everyday life. Melville engaged the pressing issues of his day, from economic inequality and the American slavery crisis to the rise of science and the fragility of democracy. He dwelled on timeless questions about loneliness and intimacy, moral and political responsibility, the limits of our knowledge and agency, and the place of human beings within nature and the cosmos.Melville's life was dramatic, and his career improbable. He was born into privilege, fell into poverty as an adolescent, hunted whales and lived with the Tai Pi people of Polynesia, served in the United States Navy, skyrocketed to fame as a novelist, ruined his career by challenging religious, political, sexual, and artistic conventions, reinvented himself as a poet, and died in relative obscurity just as readers began to appreciate his genius. The scope and diversity of Melville's literature reflects an artist of restless ambition. Herman Melville: A Very Short Introduction helps listeners explore the richness of his work.

Ghostwriters also sometimes create works for well-known authors, such as Tom Clancy. This practice is done for business reasons, because the author's name alone will sell the books, no matter who actually wrote them. 
In this audiobook, you will learn why eBooks are great ways to earn money these days and if you don’t have a talent for writing, you can employ the services of ghost writers that will help you write them. 
This audiobook will cover the following topics:
