  "It's easy to understand why Brad Meltzer and many other authors love to have Scott Brick perform their work. His delivery is impassioned, impossible to ignore...impossible to turn off." —AudioFileFrom the New York Times bestselling authors of The Nazi Conspiracy and The Lincoln Conspiracy comes a true, little-known story about the first assassination attempt on John F. Kennedy, right before his inauguration.Kennedy, the thirty-fifth president of the United States, is often ranked among Americans’   most well-liked presidents. Yet what most Americans don’t know is that JFK’s historic presidency almost ended before it began—at the hands of a disgruntled sociopathic loner armed with dynamite.On December 11, 1960, shortly after Kennedy’s election and before his inauguration, a retired postal worker named Richard Pavlick waited in his car—a parked Buick—on a quiet street in Palm Beach, Florida. Pavlick knew the president-elect’s schedule. He knew when Kennedy would leave his house. He knew where Kennedy was going. From there, Pavlick had a simple plan—one that could’ve changed the course of history.Written in the gripping style that is the hallmark of Brad Meltzer and Josh Mensch’s bestselling series, this is a slice of history vividly brought to life. Meltzer and Mensch are at the top of their game with this brilliant exploration of what could’ve been for one of the most compelling leaders of the 20th century.  A Macmillan Audio production from Flatiron Books.

  Do you feel confident at work? Are there times when you lack confidence but can’t show it? The role of confidence in successful leadership is both significant and undisputed and yet organizations are full of leaders and teams who don’t have as much as they want and, even worse, are not doing anything about it. 
   
  Attempts to develop confidence are usually confined to empty affirmations and vanilla-flavored self-help books. In contrast, this book provides an evidence-based code that outlines the steps we can all take to positively shift our confidence and that of our teams. Confident Leaders by Design is for leaders at all levels looking for a rigorous yet accessible approach to confidence development. Through research and fascinating anecdotes it reveals the surprising secrets to supercharging leadership potential through confidence creation. 
   
  Alongside the theory, listeners will practically locate their confidence sweet spot and explore activities like sludge audits, confidence curves, and self-efficacy circles which will help them to immediately start growing confidence in themselves and their teams.

  Would Burns 'Take the Knee' today?
  How could our Burns, the people's poet, look to become an instrument in what many now call 'The Black Holocaust'?
  Did Burns intend to travel knowing he would become a slavedriver, and broadly what that meant in terms of imposing suffering on others?
  Did this knowledge change his mind on emigrating to Jamaica?
  What would Burns have done had he actually gone?
  In the last decade of his life, as the debate for Abolition grew louder in Scotland, to what extent did this campaigning tide of information change his mindset?
  How was Burns used after his death in the fights for Abolition and Emancipation, particularly in the USA – in its Civil War and its Civil Rights movement?
  Through meticulous research and a compelling narrative, Clark McGinn examines Burns' connections to the transatlantic slave trade, highlighting the paradoxes and moral conflicts during the poet's time. He does not shy away from uncomfortable truths, presenting a nuanced portrait that challenges readers to reconcile Burns' literary genius with the ethical ambiguities of his time.
  Burns and Black Lives is an essential read for those interested in the intersections of literature, history and social justice, offering a profoundre-examination of one of Scotland's most iconic figures.

  Clovis Culture The: The History...

  In popular media and culture, the Paleolithic era is often depicted as a time when humans were completely savage, spoke with little more than grunts, hit women over their heads with clubs and kidnapped them, and of course, everyone lived in caves. The reality is that the Paleolithic era was a time of great change when humans coalesced into groups and developed different technologies that helped them survive and ultimately thrive in harsh environments. Among the most important technologies developed by Paleolithic humans were those helping them hunt because, after all, the Paleolithic era was when humans lived as hunters and gatherers, so human survival and advancement were contingent upon developing better tools and weapons.  
  Any examination of the Clovis culture begins with what is known. Archaeologists know the approximate chronological and geographic range of the Clovis culture, and they can identify what made the Clovis people unique. These were the projectile points the Clovis people made, setting them apart from most people that came before and after them, and it was those same tools that made them a successful people for such an extended period in the harsh climate of the Upper Paleolithic era (50,000 to 12,000 years ago). Scholars have also determined that the Clovis people were big game hunters, chasing and killing mammoths and other now-extinct animals across North America. The picture that has emerged of the Clovis people is one of an industrious, resourceful, and prolific people who became masters of the environment and North America for approximately 2,000 years. That being said, there is also much that is not known about the Clovis culture. For example, the Clovis people’s religious ideas, particularly about their views on an afterlife, remain a mystery. The lack of art at Clovis sites has also raised more questions, including if it was the result of a dearth of materials or societal norms and taboos.

  Each of us is a conscious individual living in the world. Very occasionally we have experiences so bizarre we have difficulty understanding what occurred. The Lantern in the Skull explores a selection of these unsettling yet intriguing experiences. 
  A camera previously in perfect working order which inexplicably won’t photograph fetishes in an African village chief’s basement provides the first step on Hugh Major’s engaging survey. Using his own experiences as a springboard, he considers telepathy, psychic perceptions, psychedelic insights, artistic transports, near death experiences and much else. 
  The nature of consciousness itself is a conundrum, and the evidence for marginal experiences remains contentious. Hugh Major provides  timely snapshot of current research into ‘marginal zones of the extraordinary.’ In precise, jargon-free language, he indicates the territory being explored and outlines major directions researchers are travelling. There are many captivating and surprising discoveries along the way. 
  Dean Radin PhD, chief scientist at the Institute of Noetic Sciences in the US, says: 
  “The Lantern in the Skull offers an engaging meditation on consciousness, that clear light that seemingly lives inside your head, stubbornly resisting materialistic explanations. Author Hugh Major provides a clearly written and well-informed study of the increasingly critical need to see beyond a simple clockwork model of reality.”
