    As concise and enlightening as Seven Brief Lessons on Physics and Astrophysics for People in a Hurry, this mind-expanding dive into the mystery of consciousness is an illuminating meditation on the self, free will, and felt experience. 
    What is consciousness? How does it arise? And why does it exist? We take our experience of being in the world for granted. But the very existence of consciousness raises profound questions: Why would any collection of matter in the universe be conscious? How are we able to think about this? And why should we? 
    In this wonderfully accessible audiobook, Annaka Harris guides us through the evolving definitions, philosophies, and scientific findings that probe our limited understanding of consciousness. Where does it reside, and what gives rise to it? Could it be an illusion, or a universal property of all matter? As we try to understand consciousness, we must grapple with how to define it and, in the age of artificial intelligence, who or what might possess it. 
    Conscious offers lively and challenging arguments that alter our ideas about consciousness—allowing us to think freely about it for ourselves, if indeed we can.

    This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.   
    From the first days of Emancipation to the modern Black entrepreneur, Black American Wealth takes readers on a powerful journey through the financial history of Black America. This deeply researched and emotionally charged book exposes the forgotten truth: Black Americans have always strived for economic independence—and often succeeded—despite facing systemic oppression, racial violence, and intentional barriers at every turn. In this compelling narrative, author Oliver E. Robinson traces the roots of Black wealth from land ownership and early Black millionaires to the rise—and destruction—of thriving Black communities like Tulsa’s Greenwood District, Rosewood, and Wilmington. The book explores the forces that interrupted generational wealth, including redlining, government sabotage, mass incarceration, and economic exclusion. But this is not just a history of struggle—it’s a blueprint for empowerment. Black American Wealth also highlights the modern resurgence of Black wealth-builders, financial educators, and investors who are reclaiming economic power through stocks, entrepreneurship, group economics, and smart planning. More than a book—it’s a call to action, a reminder of legacy, and a roadmap for the future.

    In Fast Jets on the Front Line, Alan Munro reflects on his time in the RAF and the Cold War jets which he flew. Having started his career after basic training on the Gloster Javelin with No. 228 OCU, Alan went on to become a flying instructor at No. 1 Flying Training School, Linton-on-Ouse. But with the United Kingdom's withdrawal from East of Suez, he found himself with a ground posting and questioning whether he would see front-line flying again. Luckily for Alan, this wasn't the case and he was soon posted to Lightnings and Harriers before returning to 228 OCU to fly on Phantoms.It is Alan's time on the Phantoms that is the main crux of this book. He discusses how the withdrawal of Lightnings from the air force changed the Phantom's role from attack to defense and the impact this had on Phantom squadrons like 29 Squadron which he flew on. A move to RAF Germany saw Alan find the front-line action he craved during his ground posting and he joined 19 Squadron as they became operational and part of RAF Germany's Battle Flight. During his time with RAF Germany, Alan flew with a number of NATO countries and he recounts tales of squadron exchanges. This then led to a tour at the NATO Tactical Leadership Programme in Jever, north Germany before he finished his time in the RAF on the Tornado GR1 in the early 1990s.
