Beschreibung

In "Men Against the Sea," James Norman Hall crafts a gripping narrative that intertwines themes of survival, camaraderie, and the profound challenges of the human spirit against the vastness of the ocean. This book, a companion to Hall's earlier work, "Mutiny on the Bounty," employs a compelling literary style that oscillates between vivid realism and lyrical prose, delving into the psychological and physical trials faced by castaways stranded in the South Pacific. Set against the backdrop of World War II, Hall expertly captures not just the immediate dangers of the sea but also the deeper emotional currents that propel the characters toward resilience and hope. James Norman Hall, an American writer and aviator, is best known for his collaborations with Charles Nordhoff, which include the acclaimed Bounty trilogy. Drawing from his own extensive maritime experiences and the tumultuous historical context of his time, Hall's writing reflects a profound fascination with the complexities of human nature when confronted with adversities, making "Men Against the Sea" a poignant exploration of endurance. This book is highly recommended for readers interested in nautical fiction, survival narratives, and historical accounts that reflect the human condition. Hall's evocative storytelling and keen insights offer not only an engaging adventure but also a profound meditation on what it means to confront the forces of nature and the very essence of survival.

    Greek mythology influences us today. For instance, did you know that the famous athletic brand Nike comes from the Greek goddess of victory? 
    Greek mythology has, without a doubt, some of the most well-known legends in the world. Like most people, the Olympians had their fair share of family drama. This audiobook pays strict attention to the genealogy of the Greek gods and the relationships they had with one another, whether they were good, bad, or incestuous. 
    These divine beings gifted humanity joy and despair, and the ancient peoples of Greece and other countries related their own world to the actions of the gods. However, the gods and Titans were all corporeal and capable of physical interaction with humanity. They were no different than the dirt on the ground or the clouds in the sky. They could be seen and touched—especially touched, given their numerous children produced from unions with gods and demi-gods alike. 
    The heavy amount of interaction that humans had with the gods and goddesses in Greek mythology allowed them to make sense of the world order in which they found themselves. It was a constant reminder that all beings in the heavens, earth, and below were all cogs of the same system.In this audiobook, you will discover:The intriguing relationships between gods, men, demi-gods, and monstersThe connection between divinity and weakness. Not only men make mistakes; even seemingly perfect beings screw up regularly.The importance of love as a guiding force of nature and life in generalA practical understanding of the motivations of both men and gods behind their less-than-honorable actionsHow hard work might end in tragedyThe importance of family in Greek mythologyAnd much more!

    A fascinating examination of the rapid concentration of global capital, with chapters that focus on China and Russia. 
     
     
     
    In Titans of Capital, Peter Phillips, a political sociologist, poses three key research questions: To what extent do the wealthy influence—or even dominate—decision making that affects all of us in society? Who are the most powerful people? And how does the accumulation of capital work? 
     
     
     
    Networks of wealthy individuals have evolved since the COVID-19 pandemic, and Titans of Capital shows how the financial investments of transnational elites threaten human rights and the future of the planet. Phillips warns that while continued concentration of global capital increases the profits enjoyed by the global economy's "Titans,", it also increases global inequality, starvation, and civil unrest, threatening the lives of the hundreds of millions of people living in extreme poverty. It is imperative to ask how we can reverse the concentration of Titan wealth and revitalize grassroots democracy unbridled by extreme wealth. Identifying 117 global Titans by name and exposing the networks and interests that unite them provides listeners opposed to militarism and committed to economic equality with crucial tools to directly engage the power elite who endanger life on earth.
