    First-hand witnesses quickly shape  Peril to become a classic Washington study. Readers find themselves ushered into Trump’s White House, Biden’s White House, the workings of the 2020 presidential campaign, the Pentagon, and Congress. 
    The intrigue bubbles up from previously unpublished narratives about covert missions, transcripts of private talks, diaries, emails, meeting minutes, and other personal and public materials. 
    As he navigates through a bitter and inactivating partisan divide, it’s also the first look at Biden’s presidency as he confronts the most difficult challenges of his life. The one-two punch: the ongoing deadly pandemic and millions of Americans suffering from soul-crushing economic hardship, 
    The danger is heightened by previously unpublished information from covert missions, transcripts of private talks, diaries, emails, meeting minutes, and other personal and public materials that convey a previously unpublished narrative. As well, it’s the first look at Biden’s presidency as he confronts the most difficult challenges of his life: the lingering deadly pandemic and millions of Americans suffering from soul-crushing economic hardship, all while navigating through a bitter and debilitating partisan divide, an increasingly dangerous world plagued by threats and the looming, dark shadow of the two previous presidents. “We have so much to do in this winter of danger,” President Biden remarked on the eve of his inauguration, which was marred by a worrisome security scare and the prospect of domestic terrorism. “We have so much to accomplish in this winter of peril,” he said. Peril is a fascinating tale about the end of one administration and the beginning of another. Bob Woodward’s trilogy about the Trump presidency began with Fear, continued with Rage, and treks further with Peril.

    Rare Earth Elements & Critical...

    A 36‑lecture audio course on the materials that run the modern world—from ore bodies and brines to magnets, batteries, chips, and reactors. Each lecture focuses on one element or mineral, tracing its journey from deposit geology through beneficiation and refining to the devices it powers. 
    We make the flowsheet legible: comminution and flotation; roasting, high‑pressure acid leaching, solvent extraction, and ion exchange; separation to oxides and metals; alloying and specialty powders. See how neodymium‑iron‑boron magnets are born, why lithium hexafluorophosphate matters in electrolytes, where gallium nitride wins in power, how graphite anodes evolve with silicon, and how the uranium fuel cycle and vanadium flow batteries actually work. 
    Markets and politics are treated as engineering constraints. Learn to spot yield killers, read offtake agreements, and separate strategic scarcity from narrative. Test real substitutions—ferrites in small motors, sodium‑ion for short‑range storage, gallium nitride versus silicon carbide—and where performance cliffs block redesign. We map chokepoints beyond the mine: separation capacity, reagents, waste handling, water and energy intensity, and manufacturer qualification cycles. Then we follow the consequences—export controls and quotas, permitting and community consent, tariffs and friend‑shoring, standards and labeling rules. 
    Rigorous, narrative‑driven, and built for the intellectually ambitious, this course is an operator’s guide to the science, supply chains, and statecraft of a materials‑constrained century.

    This audiobook is an altered version of the Master’s thesis Lean Production Scale-up. How a startup can scale the manufacturing of physical product innovation by Ilkka Taponen. Approximately half of the original thesis has been removed to suit the audiobook format. The audiobook edit has been designed for an audience familiar with startups and business, meaning that large portions of the basics have been removed from the Theory chapter.Today the market entry for new ideas and entrepreneurs is easier than ever as the digital age is reshaping how business is done. Through digitalization, the business environment has become highly open and widely connected. The combinations of digital technologies like edge computing and artificial intelligence, AI, enable new business model opportunities. In this fast-changing environment, the most important thing is to learn as fast as possible what to do next and what is worth doing at all. Multiple non-fiction books like The Four Steps to the Epiphany by Steve Blank and Lean Startup by Eric Ries study the modern internet-era startup business environment.Still, one aspect has not been included in the broader public discussion. The tools presented in Lean Startup concentrate on finding the market fit as efficiently as possible but assume that the same level of uncertainties does not exist in the company's internal processes. “We wanted flying cars, instead we got 140 characters” is a famous quote by startup investor Peter Thiel. Behind the quote is the notion that there is something different and more challenging about developing physical technologies compared to online services. Manufacturing, indeed, is an underrated problem. It is much harder to take advanced technology and bring it to volume manufacturing than to design it in the first place.

    Mark Siderits's The Buddha’s Teachings As Philosophy explores three different systems of thought that arose from core claims of the Buddha. By detailing and critically examining key arguments made by the Buddha and developed by later Buddhist philosophers, Siderits investigates the Buddha's teachings as philosophy: a set of claims—in this case, claims about the nature of the world and our place in it—supported by rational argumentation and, here, developed with a variety of systematic results. The Buddha’s Teachings As Philosophy will be especially useful to students of philosophy, religious studies, and comparative religion—to anyone, in fact, encountering Buddhist philosophy for the first time. Among the issues discussed by Siderits are those regarded as particularly challenging in the 21st century, such as karma and rebirth and the nature of nirvana. 
    PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.
