    On his deathbed, some ancient historians claimed that when he was pressed to name a successor, Alexander the Great muttered that his empire should go “to the strongest”. Other sources claim that he passed his signet ring to his general Perdiccas, thereby naming him successor, but whatever his choices were or may have been, they were ignored. Alexander’s generals, all of them with the loyalty of their own corps at their backs, would tear each other apart in a vicious internal struggle that lasted almost half a century before four factions emerged victorious: Macedonia, the Seleucid Empire in the east, the Kingdom of Pergamon in Asia Minor, and the Ptolemaic dynasty in Egypt. During the course of these wars, Alexander’s only heir, the posthumously born Alexander IV, was murdered, extinguishing his bloodline for ever. 
    Although it was an incredibly important period in world history, it is sometimes as confusing as it is frustrating for historians because the allegiances of the generals changed constantly and historical sources are often biased in some regards and utterly lacking in others. Although none of these men were able to replicate Alexander the Great’s territorial success, a few carved out sizable empires and were able to establish long-lasting political dynasties. Ptolemy I brought Egypt back to a central position of power in the region, and Seleucus I built a strong empire on the ruins of ancient Babylonia, but other generals, such as Perdiccas, were killed early on in the fighting and slipped into relative obscurity. Some of the Macedonian generals had a significant impact on the region during their lifetimes, but they left no heirs to carry on their political memories. 
    This audiobook chronicles how Alexander’s legendary conquests shaped the next several centuries, and how the successor generals carved out various empires.

    Both, namely the Heart and Mind, are the basic ingredients for forming a humble person. 
    The heart is like a small child who if left alone will endanger himself and others, Mind is like a 
    parent who if there are no children, the completeness of the family becomes unbalanced. The 
    heart will be good if it comes from wise directions at the level of reason, but it will be bad if it 
    comes from directions to the lack of understanding of the Mind. 
    This reason is also developed into a beautiful sentence from the scholars of wisdom, namely 
    العقل السليم فى الجسم التسليم 
    "A good reason is found in a good body" 
    in that sentence, there are those who say that its application is very dialectical, meaning that not 
    only is the reason mentioned first, all humans are able to implement it. the meaning of that 
    sentence is that the body can be the first application. dialectic is one of the evidences of a fact 
    where something cannot be 
    a thing that stops statically or definitely, it is so easy to move position from the beginning to 
    point A to point B, from being at point B a minute later it can be positioned at 
    point A, the most important part in this case is Nothing Is Out of the Participation 
    of the Almighty. Namely "a good body is very strongly bound to a good mind" 
    then it becomes; 
    الجسم السليم فى العقل التسليم 
    According to the famous Cultural Expert and Scholar Emha Ainun Nadjib, the following are the 
    various kinds of inversions of a dialectic, which are the diversity of perspectives and ways of 
    thinking of every human being who is willing to process it, for the sake of continuity and 
    suitability of a life path that is carried out.

    This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.   
    I’ve met every kind of scammer you can think of. 
    The quiet ones who whisper you into doing whatever they want. 
    The loud ones who slam the phone and make you doubt yourself. 
    The ones who believe their own stories.  
    And the ones who don't believe in nothin' at all. 
    The Scammer’s Playbook isn’t “based on true events.” 
    It’s my field notes — real cases, real scams, real losses. 
    How the truth gets bent until it tucks neatly into someone’s pocket. 
    How trust is built one small, honest-looking step at a time… right up until it’s time for the hard goodbye. 
    I wrote The Scammer’s Playbook vol. 1 to show you the angles — the language, the timing, the psychology — all the nuances that make a scam work. 
    Once you see the patterns, you know exactly what time it is. 
    You’ll recognize the play before it even begins.

    In Churchill's D-Day, Allen Packwood and Richard Dannatt narrate and analyze Sir Winston Churchill's emotional turmoil and epic decision-making before, during, and after the world-defining action of D-Day. Culled from the official Churchill Papers at the Churchill Archives Centre, the book features historical documents, letters, and more, for a Churchillian experience of D-Day leadership, military strategy, and humanity. 
     
     
     
    As dawn breaks on June 6th, 1944, the landings from the greatest armada of ships ever assembled begins at 0630hrs. Overnight paratroopers from the British 6th Airborne Division secure the eastern flank of the landing zone with the U.S. 82nd and 101st Airborne Division securing the western flank to reduce the risk of German counter attacks. 
     
      
     
    While Churchill is aware of the huge responsibility he bears for the British soldiers and French civilians, no one else in the world is aware of the conversations, innermost thoughts, deliberations, and decisions he's been making and will continue to make on this day. 
     
     
     
    Churchill's D-Day provides an unprecedented opportunity for listeners to experience the Invasion of Normandy as the British Bulldog experienced it himself.
