  “It’s better to live one day as a lion than 100 years as a sheep.” 
   
  "I am the most terrible animal that's ever existed." 
   
  "Democracy is beautiful in theory; in practice, it is a fallacy. You in America will see that someday." 
   
  "It's good to trust others but, not to do so is much better." 
   
  “I feel, when we have no friends upon whom to lean, or to look for moral guidance." (Mussolini) 
   
  This audiobook contains over 60 of Mussolini's earlier speeches, covering the years 1914-1923: from soon after his expulsion from the Socialist Party for supporting WWI, to his becoming Prime Minister yet still submitting outwardly to democratic rule. (He seized power, threw off the democratic yoke, and became dictator in 1925-1927. 
   
  Benito Amilcare Andrea Mussolini, born on July 29, 1883, who went by the nickname “Il Duce” (“the Leader”), was a deeply unbalanced tyrannical Italian dictator who created the dreaded Fascist Party in 1919. Eventually, he held all power in Italy as the country’s prime minister from 1922 to 1943. An ardent socialist as a youth, Mussolini followed in his father's political footsteps but was expelled by the party for his overt support of World War I. As an evil dictator during World War II (even murdering his own son by lethal injection) he greatly overextended his forces and was eventually killed by his own people in Mezzegra, Italy. Here, for the first time, are the words of the great dictator himself in his twisted manifesto on the political movement he started and is still so feared to this very day.

  “That’s right…breathe nice and slow for me. Bask in the stench.” 
  It was an accident—I destroyed the soccer jock’s pair of collectible sneakers. Now he says I have to repay him. 
  I’m broke, so I’ll be working the debt off. I’m his “sneaker boy” now. I go to his house every day after class to clean and polish his collection. 
  But…he’s doing something to me. 
  He makes me sniff the shoes while watching him flex. He makes me kiss and lick his feet. 
  This is so strange…why does it feel good?

  Every aspect of life in today’s world is affected by digital technology, be it the way we communicate, travel, or shop, or even how we identify ourselves.
  
   
  Christians, believing that we are created by a living personal God who revealed himself as Father, Son and Holy Spirit and came to us in Jesus Christ, try to make sense of their faith in this digital jungle.
  
   
  iJesus explores the relationship between the culture of God as Trinity in relation to our highly complex digital cultures and reflects on how we as followers and disciples of Jesus Christ can live in a world shaped by digital communication, connectivity and artificial intelligence.
  
   
  In the culture of the Trinity, we see a God who is the source of hospitality and generosity in everything he does and in every way that he reacts with His creation.
  
   
  Nadim Nassar gives a prophetic vision of our faith interacting and being lied out in the changing cultures around us and shows how God can make himself known and understood in a digital age.

  This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.   
  When the Last One Fell Silent: Stories of Extinct Creatures is a haunting yet deeply human exploration of extinction—told not as dry statistics, but as a series of vivid portraits that bring lost creatures back to life through story, imagery, and reflection. From the island forests where dodos once waddled without fear, to the endless skies once blackened by passenger pigeons, to the misty rainforests where golden toads shimmered like jewels, each chapter of this book immerses readers in the world as it once was—and as it might never be again. 
  Extinction is as old as life itself, but in the last few centuries its rhythm has changed. Where once climate, asteroids, and ice shaped life and loss, today extinction bears the clear mark of one species—our own. This book moves tenderly through history, telling the stories of animals we have lost: the thylacine of Tasmania, hunted more by rumor than truth; the great auk and Steller’s sea cow, slaughtered out of utility and curiosity; the Pyrenean ibex, which briefly flickered back into life through cloning before disappearing again; the mammoths, whose heavy footfalls once trembled across frozen steppes; and the baiji dolphin, the gentle goddess of the Yangtze, drowned beneath the noise of factories and boats. 
  Each chapter does more than recount the facts of extinction. It lingers on the silences that follow. Silence of forests once filled with birds. Silence of oceans where seals no longer bark. Silence of mountains where goats no longer leap. Readers are invited not only to see the loss but to feel it—the grief of the final call, the heaviness of absence, the weight of knowing that these lives were here, and now they are not. 
  At the same time, When the Last One Fell Silent is not simply an elegy. It is also a mirror and a warning. Chapters on myths and legends show how humans carry the memory of vanished animals in stories of dragons, thunder birds, and mermaids.

  WWII Politics - Betrayal...

  This book contains three topics: 
  - The Yalta Conference: The Yalta Conference, held in February 1945, was a pivotal moment in the history of the 20th century, marking the intersection of military triumph and political strategy. As World War II neared its end, the leaders of the three major Allied powers—President Franklin D. Roosevelt of the United States, Prime Minister Winston Churchill of the United Kingdom, and Premier Joseph Stalin of the Soviet Union—gathered in the Crimean resort town of Yalta to discuss the future of Europe and the post-war world. This summit was not only a negotiation of territory but a critical turning point that set the stage for the global dynamics that would shape the Cold War and the decades that followed. 
  - Nuremberg Trials: The Nuremberg Trials were a series of military tribunals held after World War II to prosecute prominent leaders of Nazi Germany for crimes committed during the war. These trials were a defining moment in the history of international law and marked the first time that individuals were held accountable on an international stage for atrocities committed by a regime. The trials took place in the city of Nuremberg, Germany, from 1945 to 1949, and were conducted by the Allied powers—the United States, the Soviet Union, the United Kingdom, and France—who sought to bring justice to the victims of the Holocaust, forced labor, and widespread destruction caused by the Nazis. 
  - Codebreakers: The art of codebreaking has long been an essential aspect of warfare, serving as a hidden weapon that can change the course of history. During World War II, intelligence efforts were not only about gathering information; they were about deciphering the secrets encoded by the enemy to gain a strategic advantage. As technology evolved, so did the complexity of military ciphers, making the task of breaking enemy codes more challenging and more critical than ever.
