  What if the best ruler was the one you’d never notice? 
  In Statesman, Plato moves past the question of what law is—and asks who is truly fit to rule. Through the philosophical dialogue between Socrates’ companions and the Eleatic Stranger, we are taken on an intricate journey into political thought: the role of knowledge in leadership, the tension between law and judgment, and the rare individual capable of weaving justice into the fabric of society. 
  This modern audiobook adaptation captures the intellectual richness of Plato’s original while offering a clear and compelling experience for today’s listeners. 
  What you’ll discover inside: 
  •	The philosophical foundation of true political authority and leadership 
  •	Why Plato believes wisdom—not popularity—is the mark of the true ruler 
  •	The famous weaving analogy: blending gentleness and courage into the soul of the statesman 
  •	A clear and modern translation that reveals the relevance of Statesman to today’s world 
  Step beyond politics as usual and explore a vision of leadership guided by reason, character, and justice.

  Knockin' Doorz Down is the inspirational story of one man's heroic struggle against inner demons that nearly destroy him, though he ultimately recovers and finds a unique pathway to redemption and peace.Successful entrepreneur and race car driver Carlos Vieira was born in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, the youngest of three siblings. When he was a young child, his working-class parents immigrated to California, where they thrived as sweet potato farmers in the town of Livingston and provided their children with solid values and a strong work ethic. As a teenager, Carlos is popular and athletic, all set to join the family farming business, but when he yields to the allure of recreational drug use, his dreams and goals fade into the back- ground. There follows a series of unexpected challenges that land him in serious jeopardy.In this cautionary tale, we see how the isolation of addiction affects every aspect of Carlos's existence. Although he attempts a conventional path, the dark side continually dominates as he slowly spirals down, pursuing the party lifestyle for more than a decade.Here are the binges, the excesses, the relapses, the rehabs, the arrests, the nights in jail, and the multiple resolutions to recover. But when Carlos hits bottom, at the age of thirty-four, he vows to stop once and for all.So begins his slow journey back to a drug- free, productive life. Through it all, he offers a timeless message: no matter what you may be struggling with--family challenges, addiction, financial issues, health struggles, or relationship problems--you can pull yourself from the brink, knock down a new door, and create a brand-new life, becoming the person you were always meant to be.

  From the grandeur of the Great Plains to the solitude of the northern woods, from the intensity of a summer storm to the quiet redemption of a fresh blanket of snow, Kent Nerburn's Native Echoes pays homage to the power of the land to shape our hearts and spirits. 
   
  An Ojibwe elder once counseled Nerburn to "always teach by stories, because stories lodge deep in the heart.'' Using skills learned from Native storytellers as well as a deep reverence for the world's spiritual traditions, Nerburn takes us to an Ojibwe burial, down lonely winter roads, and into landscapes where trees have presence and the earth is made alive by the mystical power of water and light. 
   
  Native Echoes is a stark, poetic work that honors both Native American traditions and our western way of thinking and believing. NAPRA Review calls it a ''beautiful book that will touch not only those who find Spirit in Native American paths, but anyone who has felt the presence of something powerful beyond the known.''
