Chaos in a Coupe - Travelling...

Divya Dugar

Once upon a time, there was a family: Divya Dugar, her partner Olivier, their tiny hooman Marius, and their three rescue streeties-Tigress, Marcopolo and Pari. They lived in Delhi. And they wanted to go to other places. 
So they booked a first-class coupe with the Indian Railways that allowed them to travel with their dogs. The sixsome went on many, many train journeys. It was not just about getting to a place, be it Goa, Rajasthan or Madhya Pradesh, but about seeing it with new eyes-and ears and noses, which is inevitable when half your touring party is canine. As they faced uncanny, hilarious situations and tried their best to grapple with systems designed for human convenience, the high point of the trips was often the adventures in the train compartment, which the dogs made their very own. 
A witty, whimsical, wry account of those journeys, accompanied by some stunning photographs, Chaos in a Coupe is a book that travellers, pet parents and anyone who likes a good read will enjoy.

The Middle East Conflict - A...

Oliver Green

This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice. The Middle East conflict is one of the most covered and least understood stories in modern history. The headlines never stop. The context almost never arrives.

The Middle East Conflict: A Plain-English Guide to What's Actually Happening is the accessible, nonpartisan overview for anyone who wants to understand what is actually going on—where the conflict came from, why it has persisted for decades, who the key players are, what each side believes they are fighting for, and why every proposed solution has so far failed to hold. No jargon. No agenda. No assumption that you already know the history.

Inside this audiobook you will learn the historical background that shaped the modern conflict including the Ottoman era, the British Mandate period, the founding of Israel, and the displacement of Palestinian populations, how the major wars of the 20th century redrew borders and hardened divisions that still define the conflict today, who the key actors are including governments, armed factions, international bodies, and regional powers and what each of them wants, why the Gaza Strip, the West Bank, Jerusalem, and the question of Palestinian statehood remain the central unresolved fault lines, how the United States, Iran, Egypt, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, and other regional and global powers influence the conflict from the outside, what the major proposed solutions have been, why they have failed, and what the realistic obstacles to peace actually look like, and how to follow ongoing developments with enough context to understand what you are reading.

This audiobook does not tell you what to think about the Middle East. It gives you a foundation for thinking about it clearly.
