  This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.  This audiobook is entitled “The Road to Riches”. The original book was written by Napoleon Hill, probably most famous for his book “Think and Grow Rich”, and was written in his latter years, quite a long time after Think and Grow Rich. 
    
  In a sense, it is a summary of his other well- known book, Law of Success, and it contains thirteen major principles or life lessons. These are essential if you wish to achieve what you desire in life. Napoleon Hill calls them Master Keys, and they are as follows: 
  Master Key #1 - Definiteness of Purpose 
  Master Key #2 - Mastermind 
  Master Key #3 - Going the Extra Mile 
  Master Key #4 - Applied Faith 
  Master Key #5 - Having a Pleasing Personality 
  Master Key #6 - Self-discipline 
  Master Key #7 - Positive Mental Attitude 
  Master Key #8 - Enthusiasm 
  Master Key #9 - Personal Initiative 
  Master Key #10 - Learning from Adversity and Defeat 
  Master Key #11  - Creative Vision 
  Master Key #12 - Accurate Thinking 
  Master Key #13 - Cosmic Habit Force 
   
  They are given as lessons and backed up with valuable illustrations from his own personal experiences, and the experiences of other well-known people. 
   
  It is a book not just to be listened to, but to be followed and used as a sure-fire recipe for success!

  Charles Beard was the most influential American historian of the early 20th century. He published hundreds of monographs, textbooks and interpretive studies in both history and political science. He graduated from DePauw University in 1898, where he met and eventually married Mary Ritter Beard, one of the founders of the first greek-letter society for women, Kappa Alpha Theta. Many of his books were written in collaboration with his wife, whose own interests lay in feminism and the labor union movement.In 1921, Charles and Mary Beard published their textbook: History of the United States. A contemporaneous review stated: The authors… assume enough maturity in…students to justify a topical rather than a chronological treatment. They have dealt with movements, have sketched large backgrounds, have traced causes, and have discussed the interrelation of social and economic forces and politics. All this has been directed to the large purpose of helping the student to understand American today in all its national characteristics and as part of world civilization as well...The literary style is exceptionally clear and crisp, and the whole approach…is thought producing. As a textbook or handbook for the average citizen it ranks with very best.The book is divided into 7 parts: THE COLONIAL PERIOD, CONFLICT AND INDEPENDENCE, FOUNDATIONS OF THE UNION AND NATIONAL POLITICS, THE WEST AND JACKSONIAN DEMOCRACY, SECTIONAL CONFLICT AND RECONSTRUCTION, NATIONAL GROWTH AND WORLD POLITICS, AND PROGRESSIVE DEMOCRACY AND THE WORLD WAR.

  The Democratic Marketplace - How...

  Elisa Herzog

  Democracy has been hollowed out by capitalism. A narrow view of markets and their aims now dominates thinking about democracy itself. Citizens are ignorant of the deep principles of self-governance, having long since adopted a facile equation between democracy and voting as a consumer choice. Lisa Herzog argues that democracy is still possible, but only if democratic values get embedded in everyday experience―including economic experience. That requires new ways of thinking about markets and their goals. 
   
   
   
  The Democratic Marketplace theorizes the foundational structures of a democratic economy, in which markets are not just tools for maximizing profit via exploitation and extraction. To this end, employees are empowered to participate in corporate governance. Economic disparities are curbed so that citizens can negotiate their inevitable differences on a truly equal footing. And while a democratic economy need not eschew growth, it does renounce today's growth-at-all-costs expectations, instead balancing growth with goals like ecological sustainability and the preservation of time outside of work. 
   
   
   
  These are not utopian dreams, Herzog contends. The proposals that follow from the theory of democratic economics are already being tested around the world. And the shift in social norms that they necessitate is already under way.

  The year is 878.  Young King Alfred struggles to regain his West Saxon kingdom from the invading pagan Danes led by Gormr (aka Guthrum, aka Godrum).   His kingdom overrun, Alfred joins Gormr's court disguised as a Welsh gleeman.  Gormr consults Alfred as a counselor and wizard, but resists Alfred's attempts to convert him.   Meanwhile Alfred learns that his lady and their children are Gormr's prisoners.  Escaping to the western fens, he leads a small army against the Danes.   The rest is history.  This is an epic poem set in the Old English culture of Christian warriors, i.e., Romanized Germanic former pagans, contending with contemporary Scandinavian Germanic pagans.  The great epic poet Frederick Turner (author of The New World, Genesis, and Apocalypse) called Eþandun "The real Game of Thrones."   Listen to actor-poet-producer Kyle Derek's heroic rendition of this book-length poem!

  SHORTLISTED FOR THE BRITISH SOCIETY FOR THE HISTORY OF SCIENCE PRIZE 2025 
  SHORTLISTED FOR THE NEUMANN PRIZE 2025 
  WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO COUNT? WHY ARE HUMANS THE ONLY SPECIES ON EARTH THAT CAN DO IT? WHERE DID COUNTING COME FROM? HOW HAS IT SHAPED SOCIETIES ALONG THE WAY? AND WHY DOES IT MATTER? 
  Counting is an innovative, erudite, world-wrapping journey through humanity’s marvellous ability to impose numbers on things. Acclaimed historian and mathematician Benjamin Wardhaugh draws on stories from the Stone Age to cyberspace in pursuit of the elusive, fascinating, endlessly diverse history of human counting. 
  Starting with the roots of counting in human brains, bodies and environments, Wardhaugh tours us around the world and through time while exploring the different flavours of counting that have developed over millennia. We meet the makers of bead necklaces in ancient South Africa, the inventors of writing in the world ’ s first metropolis, and the ‘counter culture’ of classical Athens. We see counting used – and changed – by Indian scholars, Chinese peasants and Papuan shopkeepers; we meet the distinctive numerate agendas of Mayan kings, US governments and Korean vloggers. 
  Weaving these stories together, Wardhaugh shows how cultures have shaped counting, and how counting has shaped culture, in a rich tapestry spanning thousands of years. This is the vast story of human attempts to find some order in an unruly world; or, perhaps, to impose on a reluctant world the order that humans find within themselves. It is a history as wide, deep and tangled as that of humanity itself 
  In Counting, Benjamin Wardhaugh masterfully intertwines philosophy, science, and anthropology to further delve into the intricacies of our numerical world. The book not only explores the mathematical aspects of counting but also its social and cultural implications, making it a must-read for anyone interested in the evolution of civilisation. 
  For fans of David Spiegelhalter (The Art of Uncertainty), Cat Bohannon (Eve), Rory Stewart (The Marches), Anne Applebaum (Autocracy, Inc), and Peter Frankopan (The New Silk Roads).
