The Only Way to Go Is Up - The...

Benjamin Buildst, William S....

It was literally a very dangerous place to be, and you could get yourself in trouble, or even killed, quite easily and without much effort. The best two inventions ever created by humankind are laws and law enforcement. Without them, we would still be living in a jungle-like state where every one of us would do as he pleased and we would have no security whatsoever. Laws and law enforcement came as a necessary measure to protect each and every individual in society, and that is why people are so scared of wars and chaos, as if these two happen, both law and law enforcement would be suspended, well, at least in practice, which is what counts.

Do Not Comply - Taking Power...

Will Witt

From bestselling author Will Witt, this thought-provoking exposé shows readers how to break free from the control of America’s corrupt ruling class. The America you grew up in is no longer here. Our country is in sharp decline. Yet we often fail to truly call out the culprits responsible for it. Who are the corrupters of our great country? They are politicians (both Democrat and Republican), they are businessmen, they are celebrities, they are media executives, they are scientists. They are the elite. And they are selfish. In Do Not Comply, one of America’s most articulate and fastest rising political commentators on the right exposes the elite’s many lies holding America hostage. Witt persuasively explains how a corrupt ruling class has pitted us against each other in the name of “the greater good” and “building back better.” But the changes and programs they institute have only hurt us in the long run and have sent us spiraling to serfdom while the elites reap all the benefits. Without fear or favor, the independent-minded Witt deconstructs the misguided policies and adventures of America’s political, pharmaceutical, tech, media, and financial institution elite – with surprising takeaways. Through systematically looking at the biggest issues used to divide us today, Witt answers these crucial questions about the future of America: How do the elite achieve their power? How do we fix the vexing problems in our society caused by this greed and selfishness? And how do we take our power back? From one of America’s brightest young minds, this book is a must-read for citizens seeking the truth about who really controls the levers of power in our country. As we watch America descend toward moral and economic destruction, it’s tempting to believe we have no power to enact change. But we always have a choice—and it’s not too late. Do Not Comply is the first step towards righting the ship.

Stories of Cape Cod

Jack Johnson

Stories of Cape Cod is a rich and engaging journey through one of America’s most storied regions, told town by town and voice by voice. 
Written in an inviting, conversational style, Jack Johnson brings Cape Cod’s past to life through a series of short historical narratives and local anecdotes that span centuries of New England life. From the early settlements of Bourne and Sandwich to the windswept shores of Chatham and Wellfleet, each chapter explores the unique character of a Cape town—its people, its industries, its legends, and the events that shaped it. 
Listeners will encounter tales of maritime adventure, wartime service, invention, and everyday resilience, alongside memorable figures such as Myles Standish, Daniel Webster, Admiral Nimitz, and the lesser-known but equally fascinating locals who defined their communities. Stories of glassmaking, canal construction, fishing, shipbuilding, and small-town enterprise paint a vivid portrait of Cape Cod as both a working landscape and a cultural crossroads. 
Narrated with warmth and clarity by Tony J. Martin, this audiobook feels less like a formal history and more like a guided walk through time—full of human detail, quiet drama, and regional charm. 
Perfect for listeners interested in New England history, American local color writing, or the enduring spirit of coastal communities, Stories of Cape Cod preserves the voices, memories, and traditions that continue to shape the Cape.
