Sinossi

Omaha, 1905: During the gilded age, when women live subjugated to men, eighteen-year-old Bridget prides herself on having earned acceptance to medical school.When her father is murdered, a crime that does not interest the law because he was half Native American, she risks her plans to become a doctor, determined to avenge his murder.Bridget's quest thrusts her into a world of seedy men and glitzy women in one of Omaha's most opulent brothels. There, she finds herself the prey rather than the hunter.If she is to survive, she must keep the reclusive madam's shocking secrets, learn to trust her heart's yearning for the man who befriends her, and embrace her complicated alliance with a community of notorious women considered society's lowest.

    Florence Augusta Merriam Bailey was an American ornithologist and nature writer. She started observing bird behavior at a time when most bird study was based on collections and skins. By 1885, she began to write articles focusing on protecting birds. Her introduction of a birdwatching field guide, aimed at living birds, is considered the first in the tradition of modern bird guides. She wrote the first of these at the age of 26, initially as a series of notes in the Audubon Magazine and later as books. In "A-Birding on a Bronco," she writes an engaging memoir about her several trips to study birds on a ranch in California in the late 1800's.

    This isn't an apology. It's a journey back to ancient Athens for a thrilling courtroom drama... with Socrates' life on the line. 
    Charged with religious blasphemy, the corruption of the youth, and the creation of new gods, Socrates recounts his journey to become the World's Wisest Man™ — with his tongue stuck firmly inside his cheek. Hear from the gadfly of Athens, as he's guided by the oracle at Delphi and discovers his inner daimons. 
    "The Apology" is a captivating exploration of tragedy, philosophy, courage, comedy in the face of death and corruption, and the relentless pursuit of truth. This masterpiece by Plato is brought into the audiobook format by musician and producer, Scoobert Doobert. 
    It's one of his favorites from the ancient world, one that deeply shaped his personal philosophy and artistic journey. And adding to the emotional punch, this dialogue is written by Plato, Socrates' disciple who watched his friend and mentor die at the hands of a corrupt jury. It's a positively metamodern tale and feels even more so with Mr. Doobert's slight changes to the public domain translation from Attic Greek. Your purchase includes a bonus podcast episode that follows the end of the audiobook. 
    Visit www.ScoobertDoobert.Pizza to hear Mr. Doobert's music.

    Calvin Coolidge (July 4, 1872 - January 5, 1933) was the 30th president of the United States from 1923 to 1929. Born in Vermont, Coolidge was a Republican lawyer from New England who climbed up the ladder of Massachusetts state politics, becoming the state's 48th governor. His response to the Boston Police Strike of 1919 thrust him into the national spotlight as a man of decisive action. Coolidge was elected the country's 29th vice president the next year, succeeding the presidency upon the sudden death of President Warren G. Harding in 1923. Elected in his own right in 1924, Coolidge gained a reputation as a small-government conservative distinguished by a taciturn personality and dry sense of humor, receiving the nickname "Silent Cal".

    This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.  
    What if the hero of World War II wasn’t as heroic as history remembers? 
    Winston Churchill is widely celebrated as the indomitable leader who stood against tyranny and rallied a nation in its darkest hour. But behind the rousing speeches and iconic persona lies a far more complicated figure—one whose decisions, beliefs, and actions raise hard questions about power, privilege, and morality. 
    The Dark Side of Winston Churchill strips away the myth to reveal the man—and forces us to confront the full truth of his legacy. 
    This provocative and deeply researched book examines the contradictions, controversies, and consequences of Churchill’s political career, from his involvement in the Bengal Famine and colonial repression to his perspectives on race, empire, and social class. Drawing on primary sources, personal letters, and historical records, it paints a nuanced portrait of a man revered by some and reviled by others. 
    Inside, you’ll discover: 
    How Churchill’s imperialist ideology shaped British policies from India to Africa 
    His controversial decisions during World War II—and their human cost 
    The political maneuvering and rhetoric that built his myth while obscuring uncomfortable truths 
    How Churchill’s legacy continues to influence modern politics, nationalism, and historical memory 
    History isn’t just what we remember—it’s also what we choose to forget. 
     Buy The Dark Side of Winston Churchill today and take a bold step beyond the myth.
