Sinopse

Steel Empire explores the dramatic transformation of the United States into an industrial powerhouse through the lens of the American steel industry. During the Gilded Age, innovations like the Bessemer process enabled mass production, forever changing the economic and urban landscape. The book uniquely examines how figures like Andrew Carnegie, representing entrepreneurial vision, intersected with the often harsh realities faced by steelworkers, offering a balanced view of the era's unprecedented growth and social inequality. The book argues that the steel industry's success resulted from abundant resources, favorable government policies, and a relentless pursuit of efficiency. Early chapters detail the technological breakthroughs that facilitated mass production, followed by an analysis of industrial leaders and a dedicated examination of the lives and struggles of steelworkers. By connecting industrial history with economics, sociology, and urban planning, Steel Empire provides a comprehensive and accessible understanding of the forces that shaped modern America.

This audiobook serves as a guide to understand and deal with all pernicious and invisible forms of abuse. It provides keys to deal with their appearance in your own life. 
Violence is too often acknowledged only when there is material proof of it. Abuse with physical damage gets the news and make authorities react. However, the earliest stages are invisible. You don't see them coming. Abuse is mental, emotional and energetic. Predators and emotional vampires should not be underestimated, since they are omnipresent in the shadows of our everyday lives. 
The author had a 20 years career in the music business (that was before Internet), before leading a 30 years career as a renowned personal and spiritual coach in the French speaking parts of the world. He proposed an array of workshops and published two books. He now starts his third career, sharing his accumulated insights and wisdom in his "Wise" audiobook series.

A Vietnam veteran recounts his experience through two tours of duty—early in the conflict and then in its final stages. Fresh out of West Point, John Howard arrived for his first tour in Vietnam in 1965, the first full year of escalation when U.S. troop levels increased dramatically, from 23,000 to 184,000. When Howard returned for a second tour in 1972, troop strength stood at 24,000 and would dwindle to a mere fifty the following year. He thus participated in the very early and very late stages of American military involvement in the Vietnam War.   Howard’s two tours—the first as a platoon commander and member of an elite counterguerrilla force, and the second as a senior advisor to the South Vietnamese—provide a fascinating lens through which to view not only one soldier’s experience in Vietnam, but also the country’s.

While some may argue that the detective story is an example of cheap, dispensable popular fiction, G. K. Chesterton begs to differ. He is, after all, the author of the Father Brown mysteries! Where else but in detective novels do we appreciate the romance of the city? 
This essay is from a series titled The Defendant, first published as a collection in 1901, after the individual essays were published in The Speaker. Here, a selection of these essays has been reissued by Voices of Today.
