    "To understand the most disruptive economic ideas of the 21st century, you must first understand the man behind them. This compelling biography provides the essential human story behind the intellectual firebrand who has challenged a global orthodoxy."
Neil Wilson, Gower Initiative for Modern Money Studies, UK.

"Warren Mosler is the most impressive economic thinker of the last 50 years. His ability to think clearly and isolate the signal from the noise is unmatched. Hopefully, his ideas will guide our societies in the 21st century."
Dirk Ehnts, Speaker of the Board, Pufendorf Gesellschaft for Political Economy, Berlin.

"Warren Mosler can be described as a 'renaissance man'. He is driven not only by intellectual curiosity and an enthusiasm for exploring many dimensions of life but primarily by a thirst for change and a desire to support people with generosity and commitment. This book will allow broader audiences to gain an understanding of his groundbreaking insights including and beyond his economic wisdom."
Daniel Kostzer, Chief Economist of the International Trade Union Confederation (ITUC-CSI), Brussels.

"I'm proud to count Warren Mosler as a friend and congratulate Phil Armstrong on bringing to a large audience this account of his life, his wildly diverse talents, and his many contributions to clarifying the economics of money."

    In the vast, unforgiving expanse of Alaska's wilderness, where the biting cold conceals secrets beneath layers of snow and ice, a chilling predator stalked the remote communities, earning the moniker "Alaska's Butcher Baker." "Frozen Shadows: The Hunt for Alaska's Butcher Baker" by Myles Henman is a gripping true-crime narrative that delves into the harrowing investigation of one of the most elusive and ruthless killers to ever haunt the Last Frontier. 
Myles Henman meticulously reconstructs the terrifying series of murders that sent shockwaves through Alaska's tight-knit towns, where neighbors relied on each other for survival against the harsh elements. As bodies began to surface in isolated areas, the community was gripped by fear, unsure of who among them could harbor such darkness. Detective Sarah McAllister, a seasoned investigator with a relentless pursuit of justice, leads the charge to uncover the truth behind the brutal killings. 
Navigating the challenges of Alaska's rugged terrain and extreme weather, McAllister and her team employ cutting-edge forensic techniques and psychological profiling to track the elusive butcher. Henman masterfully portrays the intense pressure on law enforcement to solve the case before the killer strikes again, highlighting the personal sacrifices and emotional toll on those dedicated to bringing the predator to justice. 
As the investigation unfolds, "Frozen Shadows" reveals the intricate dance between hunter and hunted, exploring the complex motivations and twisted mind of the Butcher Baker. Through interviews with survivors, law enforcement officials, and experts in criminal psychology, Henman provides a multifaceted perspective on the nature of evil and the resilience of the human spirit in the face of unimaginable horror.

    'You simply couldn't stand by with your arms folded.'
These were the words of Samuel Beckett who famously returned to France from a holiday in Ireland when World War II broke out. His clandestine work against the Nazi occupation of Europe is well documented, but there were many other ordinary Irish people who joined the underground network.
Some took up arms. Others gathered intelligence, sheltered fugitives, committed acts of sabotage or broke codes. This new history tells the stories of those forgotten Irish men and women.
Discover Captain John Keany from Cork, who parachuted into occupied Italy to help the local Resistance; Margaret Kelly, the Dublin founder of the world-famous Bluebell Girls cabaret troupe in Paris, who hid her Jewish husband; and Catherine Crean, the Irish governess born on Moore Street, Dublin, who was sent to a concentration camp for helping Allied airmen in Belgium.
These, and many more stories, span the course of World War II and remind us of the power of individuals to make a difference.

    This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.   
Still burning in silence. 
“Jorge Madera, a disabled author living with ataxia and aphasia, delivers this symbolic and poetic audiobook through a digital voice named Zadkiel Adam — a narrator born from necessity, memory, and mercy.” 
This is not a medical guide. 
It is a cry from the ashes. 
A written flame dictated slowly, painfully, and without apology. 
The Quasimodo Effect: Still Burning in Silence is a soul-fire testimony from someone who woke up in a different body — and refused to disappear. These pages carry scars, dignity, and divine defiance. You will find moments of grief, spiritual stillness, and fierce love for a life misjudged but still burning. 
From hospital silence to poetic defiance, Jorge invites you to witness what it means to be disabled and still divine. Still worthy. Still burning. 
If your body has changed... 
If your voice trembles... 
If your truth has ever been erased... 
Then this book was written for you. 
From the wheelchair. 
From the silence. 
From the soul.
