  The Spanish conquest of the Americas is a pivotal part of the history of colonization.  
  Christopher Columbus’s discovery, albeit accidental, of a new landmass turned the world upside-down. Beginning in the late 15th century, the kingdom of Spain spearheaded the effort of colonization, sending expedition after expedition to the Caribbean islands and then to mainland North and South America. Through violence, bloodshed, and conquest, the Spanish conquistadors were able to gain control of the rich and prosperous lands of indigenous American civilizations, laying waste to magnificent political and social entities like the Aztec and Inca Empires. 
  This audiobook tells the story of how Spain managed to conquer the Americas in the span of half a century, from the late 1400s to the mid-1500s. Although exploitation and warfare continued between the colonizers and the colonized after this period, the largest campaigns against the indigenous peoples were undertaken in this short time span, which is the focus of this audiobook. 
  This comprehensive guide will cover the following:Columbus and his expeditions, which encouraged other Europeans to start colonizationThe makeup of indigenous American societies, from their social hierarchies and complex cultures to diverse political structuresColonization of the Caribbean islands and the establishment of the Spanish West IndiesThe arrival of Hernán Cortés and his groundbreaking expedition into the Aztec Empire in modern-day MexicoThe conquest of the Maya civilization in the Yucatán Peninsula and the power dynamics between different power-hungry conquistador groups thereThe magnificent Inca Empire in the South American Andes and its conquest by Francisco Pizarro

  Backroom Deals in Our Backyards...

  Most Americans are likely to encounter the effects of government malfeasance or neglect close to home—from their governors, mayors, town councils, school boards, police, and prosecutors. In fact, deals shrouded in darkness are regularly made at the state and local levels, often the result of closed-door discussions between governments and industry without any scrutiny whatsoever from the public. Too often, residents are intentionally kept on the outside, struggling to get information about significant issues affecting their communities—from car crashes and dirty drinking water, to failing safety gear—until the backroom deals are done and it's too late to challenge them. 
   
   
   
  Backroom Deals in Our Backyards tells the story of five "accidental activists"—people from across the United States who started questioning why their local and state governments didn't protect them from issues facing their communities and why there was a frightening lack of transparency surrounding the way these issues were resolved. The secret deals, lies, and corruption they uncover shake their faith in government but move them to action. 
   
   
   
  For readers of Chain of Title and Superman's Not Coming, Spivack's revealing take on a hidden dimension of American politics will outrage and educate anyone who cares about the forces shaping their own communities.

It argues that the proletariat, or working class, will lead the revolution against the capitalist system's inherent class inequalities. 
  Spanning four sections, the manifesto traces class struggles, critiques the bourgeoisie, reviews socialist and communist literature, and examines the position of communists relative to opposition parties. 
  In reading this key political tract, remember it is a product of its time. Yet its discourse on wealth, power, and economic disparity remains relevant today. This timeless work invites us to critically examine our society, offering crucial insights into socio-political ideologies shaping our world.

  Zeno - Greek Philosophy and the...

  Zeno of Elea, a philosopher from ancient Greece, is best known for his paradoxes, which have intrigued thinkers for over two millennia. These paradoxes, particularly those dealing with motion, challenge fundamental concepts of space, time, and the nature of infinity. While Zeno's ideas emerged within the context of ancient philosophical debates, their relevance persists today in various fields of study, from physics to mathematics and philosophy. 
  One of the most striking aspects of Zeno's paradoxes is their ability to question assumptions that many take for granted. The Paradox of Achilles and the Tortoise, for example, suggests that a faster runner (Achilles) could never overtake a slower one (the tortoise) if the tortoise has a head start. At first glance, this seems absurd, as we know that Achilles would inevitably pass the tortoise in a real race. However, Zeno’s argument raises deeper questions about how we understand infinite divisions in space and time. Today, this paradox invites reflection on the nature of infinity, a concept that remains central in modern mathematics and the study of calculus. 
  Zeno’s paradoxes also raise critical questions about the nature of motion itself. His Arrow Paradox, for instance, claims that an arrow in flight is always at rest at any given moment in time, suggesting that motion is an illusion. While this may seem like a mere abstract thought experiment, it has significant implications for how we perceive the passage of time and the continuum of motion. In modern physics, the concept of time and motion is constantly reexamined, especially in the context of relativity theory, where time can bend and stretch depending on an object's velocity and position in space. Zeno’s paradoxes, thus, offer an early philosophical precursor to these scientific discussions.
