  Champagne Charlie - The...

  Champagne Charlie tells the story of a dashing young Frenchman, Charles Heidsieck, who introduced hard-drinking Americans to champagne in the mid-nineteenth century and became famously known as Champagne Charlie. Ignoring critics who warned that America was a dangerous place to do business, Heidsieck plunged right in, considering it "the land of opportunity" and succeeding there beyond his wildest dreams. Those dreams, however, became a nightmare when the Civil War erupted and he was imprisoned and nearly executed after being charged with spying for the Confederacy. 
   
   
   
  Only after the Lincoln administration intervened was Heidsieck saved, but his champagne business had gone bankrupt and was virtually dead. Then, miraculously, Heidsieck became owner of nearly half the city of Denver, the fastest-growing city in the West. By selling the land, Heidsieck was eventually able to resurrect his business to its former glory. 
   
   
   
  For all its current-day glamour, effervescence, and association with the high life, champagne had a lackluster start. It was pale red in color, insipid in taste, and completely flat. Champagne's success can be traced back to King Louis XV and his mistress Madame de Pompadour, Napoleon Bonaparte, countless wars and prohibitions, and, most important to the United States, Charles Heidsieck.

  This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.   
  Why do some children begin speaking in full sentences while others struggle with single words? 
  Language is the foundation of connection, learning, and lifelong success. Yet not all children develop language at the same pace, and the reasons why may surprise you. Children's Language Development reveals how the earliest interactions between caregiver and child play a vital role in shaping future communication, comprehension, and expression. 
  This book provides a research-driven roadmap to unlocking your child’s full linguistic potential. 
  From the quality and quantity of parental input to the structure of early vocabulary and the significance of nonverbal communication, this book brings together decades of developmental psychology, linguistics, and neuroscience to answer one critical question: How can we best support a child’s language journey from the very beginning? 
  Inside, you’ll learn: 
  The way you talk to your child directly influences vocabulary growth and language processing 
  The difference between expressive and receptive language—and why it matters 
  Why vocabulary composition (not just quantity) is a key predictor of later success 
  The crucial role of gestures, joint attention, and turn-taking in early communication 
  What current research says about screen time, multilingual environments, and the impact of socio-economic context 
  Give your child the strongest possible start in life through the power of intentional communication. 
  👉 Buy Children's Language Development now to build a richer, more responsive, and more effective foundation for your child’s future.

  Fewer Rules Better People - The...

  A philosopher argues that the proliferation of rules and mandates is making us dumber, less moral, more deceptive, and less able to govern important institutions. 
   
   
   
  Wherever there's a rule, there is someone with the power to apply or ignore it—or add to it, in the interest of justice. From enforcing chores to issuing life sentences, decision-makers deliver flawed and sometimes arbitrary outcomes. But is their use of discretion good or bad overall? As a society, should we seek to minimize or maximize discretion, with all its potential for bias and other kinds of human error? 
   
   
   
  Reframing our understanding of justice and ethics, philosopher Barry Lam argues that while use of discretion—whether by a sports referee, a parent, a police officer, or a judge—can never be perfect, removing it has even more problematic effects. Mandatory arrests and sentencing laws have not eliminated bias, but have corrupted the courtroom, institutionalized lying, and brought about even more unjust and arbitrary results. Fewer Rules, Better People is a bold, riveting treatise that sheds new light on political debates about law and justice while aiming to prepare us for the imminent threat of more "perfect," discretion-less rule enforcement by AI.

  A heart-warming and hilarious family memoir of growing up as one of eleven siblings raised by a single dad in Northern Ireland at the end of the Troubles. Séamas O’Reilly’s mother died when he was five, leaving him, his ten (!) brothers and sisters, and their beloved father in their sprawling bungalow in rural Derry. It was the 1990s; the Troubles were a background rumble, but Séamas was more preoccupied with dinosaurs, Star Wars, and the actual location of heaven than the political climate. ­  An instant bestseller in Ireland, Did Ye Hear Mammy Died? is a book about a family of loud, argumentative, musical, sarcastic, grief-stricken siblings, shepherded into adulthood by a man whose foibles and reticence were matched only by his love for his children and his determination that they would flourish.  “In this joyous, wildly unconventional memoir, Séamas O'Reilly tells the story of losing his mother as a child and growing up with ten siblings in Northern Ireland during the final years of the Troubles as a raucous comedy, a grand caper that is absolutely bursting with life.”―Patrick Radden Keefe, NYT bestselling author of Say Nothing and Empire of Pain One of NPR’s Best Books of the Year
