  This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.   
  Indian Territory: Surviving 160 Acres of Betrayal is the true story of a Mvskoke family’s dispossession and the larger story of Tulsa, Oklahoma—once known as Tvlse—and the corruption that built it. 
  Written as a historical memoir, this book journeys through the Allotment Era to reveal how so-called “progress” stripped a young Indian family of land, language, wealth, and culture.Shrouded by the mysterious deaths of family members, the narrative centers on two full-blood Mvskoke sisters—still only pre-teen girls—forced to shoulder a battle no child should face as their Creek-speaking father struggled to defend them.Together they were trapped in a system that purposely ignored them and nullified the very decisions they made to protect their home and future. 
  Guardians and Tulsa County courts seized the land they owned, the house their father built and the wealth they had begun to build—funneling it into guardianships that left the family impoverished. 
  This is both an intimate family history and an unflinching indictment of the laws and institutions that turned survival itself into a legal battleground. 
  A true story of dispossession, survival, and generational trauma told from the bloodline who endured it. This is an Indian story experienced by many Indian families across Indian Territory of all different tribal affiliations.

  'But the time will come; and when, in their changed ashes, the growth of centuries unborn has struck its roots, the restless men of distant ages will repair to these again unpeopled solitudes…'
  
  Based on a trip taken just short of his thirtieth birthday, American Notes for General Circulation is a dazzling travelogue of Charles Dickens's adventures in North America in 1842.
  
  Travelling from Boston, New York, Philadelphia, Richmond, St. Louis, Quebec and more, Dickens writes candidly about his time in America. Impressed by the optimism of American society and captivated by its democratic ideals, Dickens was also critical of the rapid growth of industrialism, America's focus on materialism and its participation in slavery. A compelling artefact of nineteenth century America, American Notes for General Circulation is a fascinating snapshot in time from the perspective of a foreign observer. This audiobook is skilfully read by Matt Addis.

  Eason Favourite Book of the Year 2022 
   
  'she is no small town, and this is no small story . . .'
  BASED ON THE POPULAR DUBLIN HISTORY PODCAST
  
  
  A companion to the hugely successful podcast of the same name by Donal Fallon, THREE CASTLES BURNING is an enjoyable wander through some of Dublin's less obvious but more interesting streets and roads such as Henrietta Street, Watling Street, Fownes Street and Kildare Road.
  On the Dublin streets we walk every day, there are hidden reminders of the lesser-known heroes and events that have contributed to the evolving story of our capital. The city's motto, 'the obedience of the citizens produces a happy city', may feel outdated and loaded today but the three burning castles of its ancient coat of arms have come to represent the indomitable spirit, creativity and vision that define this big town. Inspired by the No. 1 podcast, Three Castles Burning: A History of Dublin in Twelve Streets champions the activists, workers, architects, poets, migrants, artists and merchants who have made and remade the city we know and love by going beneath the many layers of twelve key streets where they lived and worked. Because, in the city Joyce called the 'Hibernian Metropolis', the disobedience of its citizens is the cornerstone of its past, present and future.
  This combination of social, cultural, industrial and commercial, and political history, through the prism of the places where revolutions great and small were sparked, offers the reader a fresh and unexpected take on Ireland's capital city.

  Rethinking global value chains...

  The uneven recovery from the 2008 global financial crisis led to a stabilisation of international trade and capital flows. However, in the following years the surge of protectionist measures and deepening rivalries between big powers precipitated a crisis of the rule-based multilateral order. The pandemic crisis and the impact of the Russian invasion of Ukraine have boosted international economic fragmentation along geopolitical lines and may drive the global economy towards a reversal of the globalisation process that marked the second half of the 20th century.
  Mounting cross-border restrictions on the exchange of essential goods and services during the recent poly-crisis has caused big disruptions in global production networks evamping the debate on the future of global economic interdependence, and the potentialities and downsides of reshoring, nearshoring or friendshoring processes. Indeed, the reconfiguration of global value chains (GVCs) has been increasingly debated as an economic policy tool to secure the supply of critical products and establish economic security at the national level. Such defensive posturing raises concerns over how to manage emerging trade-offs between the benefits of openness (economic integration) and those of autonomy (economic security).
  The Istituto Affari Internazionali (IAI), in the framework of its partnership with Intesa Sanpaolo, launched a task force of experts to contribute to the current discussion on the implications and possible future configurations of international production networks at a time of a resurgence of national economic security. The overall research effort has involved different regional perspectives and multidisciplinary approaches to shed light on the implications of the policy-driven process of international economic fragmentation in the fields of trade, technology, labour, international finance, global public goods and other dimensions of international economic relations.
