Synopsis

In the annals of American crime, the Unabomber case stands as a haunting reminder of the destructive power of a single individual driven by radical ideology. This gripping narrative takes readers on a journey into the mind of Ted Kaczynski, a brilliant yet deeply troubled man who waged a campaign of terror that spanned nearly two decades, leaving a trail of shattered lives in its wake.

From his early years as a mathematical prodigy to his transformation into a recluse consumed by anti-technology sentiments, we trace the evolution of Kaczynski's radical beliefs. His manifesto, a chilling document that outlined his grievances against modern society, became a manifesto for those who shared his disdain for the technological advancements that were rapidly changing the world.

As the Unabomber's attacks grew in frequency and severity, a nationwide manhunt ensued, captivating the nation's attention and sparking a massive investigation that would ultimately lead to his capture. We follow the dedicated team of FBI agents and forensic experts as they painstakingly piece together the clues, drawing closer to the elusive figure behind the bombings.

The Unabomber's reign of terror left an indelible mark on American society, raising profound questions about the balance between individual liberty and public safety, the role of technology in our lives, and the nature of domestic terrorism. Through a meticulous examination of the case, this book provides a deeper understanding of the motivations behind Kaczynski's actions and the far-reaching consequences of his destructive ideology.

In this comprehensive exploration, we uncover the hidden connections between Kaczynski's personal history, his intellectual development, and the social and political context that shaped his worldview. We delve into the psychological factors that contributed to his radicalization and examine the impact of his actions on the lives of his victims and the nation as a whole.

The Unabomber's story serves as a cautionary tale, reminding us of the dangers of isolation and extremism, and the importance of addressing the underlying issues that can lead individuals down a path of violence. As we revisit this chilling chapter in American history, we gain valuable insights into the complexities of human behavior and the urgent need for understanding and prevention.

    Adrienne Barbeau never set out to be a sex symbol and she never planned on giving birth to twins when she was 51 but both those stories and a lot more are detailed in this witty, revealing memoir. 
    From her early years as one of the first Go-Go girls in New York (“No one said Mafia out loud in those days. There was always the fear you wouldn’t live to say anything else.”) to starring on Broadway in Grease (“Alexander Cohen swore the only way we’d win a Tony was over his dead body”) Adrienne tells tales about her two hit television series (Maude and Carnivale), her many television and feature films (The Fog, Escape From New York, Cannonball Run, Swamp Thing, Creepshow), and her singing career (“Doc Severinson and the band had been in the audience during my nude foray off-Broadway in Stag Movie”).  With humour and fearlessness, she shares her romance with a superstar, her marriage to a famous film director, her marriage to a much younger man and her successful battle with infertility.

    If a professional referee has a perfect match, nobody says a word about it. If they have a poor one, they immediately become everyone's object of hatred, solely responsible for everything. With these conditions on his shoulders, Jonas Eriksson walked out onto the biggest and most prestigious football pitches in the world time and time again. He portrays the enormous demands placed on the elite tier of referees, how they are ostracised if they don't maintain their weight or pass extreme physical tests. For eighteen years, Jonas Eriksson was one of FIFA's top referees. In House of Cards he speaks openly about the lonely path to the top, why he quit, and what happens behind the scenes in international top-flight football, which is characterised by corruption, cronyism and self-centred superstars.

    What if public wisdom was only a performance? 
    In Protagoras, Plato stages an epic confrontation between two forces: Socratic philosophy and Sophistic reputation. At the heart of this dramatic dialogue is a question that echoes through the centuries—can virtue be taught, or is it just a clever performance by those who claim to know? 
    With dazzling speeches, sly irony, and relentless questioning, this modern audiobook adaptation brings to life one of Plato’s most dynamic texts. 
    What you’ll discover inside: 
    •	A powerful intellectual showdown between Socrates and the famed sophist Protagoras 
    •	Insight into the tension between rhetoric, education, and genuine wisdom 
    •	Philosophical inquiry into whether virtue is teachable—or even definable 
    •	A vivid, flowing modern translation designed to entertain as well as challenge 
    Whether you're a teacher, student, or truth-seeker, Protagoras will leave you questioning the difference between knowledge and applause.

    This program is read by read by Sura Siu with an exclusive note written and read by the author.One of TIME and Oprah Daily's Most Anticipated Books of 2025“Siu's measured, compassionate delivery honors Nguyen's story, which balances the raw emotion of trauma with the strength of survival.”—AudioFile"Amanda’s story—innovatively told by versions of herself at different ages—underscores the lasting power of speaking your truth, building a movement, and never losing sight of your dreams.” —Melinda French Gates"In Saving Five, Amanda Nguyen shows us how to reclaim the full spectrum of our lives, replete with pain, fury, creativity, and recovered dreams.” —Chanel Miller, author of Know My NameA brave and imaginative memoir by the Nobel Peace Prize nominee Amanda Nguyen, detailing her healing journey and groundbreaking activism in the aftermath of her rape at Harvard.In 2013, the trajectory of Amanda Nguyen’s life was changed forever when she was raped at Harvard.Determined to not let her assault derail her goal of joining NASA after graduation, Nguyen opted for her rape kit to be filed under “Jane Doe.” But she was shocked to learn her choice to stay anonymous gave her only six months to take action before the state destroyed her kit, rendering any future legal action impossible. Nguyen knew then that she had two options: surrender to a law that effectively denied her justice, or fight for a change—not only for herself but for survivors everywhere.A heart-wrenching memoir of survival and hope, Saving Five boldly braids the story of Nguyen’s activism—which resulted in Congress’s unanimous passage of the Sexual Assault Survivors’ Rights Act in 2016—with a second, beautifully imagined adventure, of Nguyen's younger selves as they—at ages five, fifteen, twenty-two, and thirty—navigate through dramatic incarnations of the emotional stages of her path toward healing, not only from her rape but from the violent turmoil of her childhood. The result is a groundbreaking work that seamlessly blends memoir with a moving journey toward acceptance and hope, forging a path ahead that is as inspiring as it is instructive.From one of the most influential activists (and now astronauts) of her time, Saving Five is at once a tribute to resilience, a celebration of healing through action, and a resounding cry to change the world. A Macmillan Audio production from AUWA Books.
