  Shattered and Becoming: A Teacher’s Journey Between Policy and Purpose reveals the experience of working inside a system where policies, leadership decisions, and organizational cultures clash with the real needs of the people meant to be served and those providing the support. 
  Through a story of classroom life, inclusion, advocacy, leadership, and personal growth, this memoir explores what happens when a teacher’s purpose is tested by stress, institutional barriers, and the pressure to comply. As he navigates early childhood education, special education, school leadership, and the fight for meaningful inclusion, Dr. Goff reveals how the very experiences that break us can also open the way for growth, clarity, and becoming. 
  Perfect for listeners interested in leadership, inclusion, advocacy, personal growth, and system reform, Shattered and Becoming offers an honest look at the emotional realities of teaching and the courage it takes to hold onto purpose when the system loses its way. This audiobook is for teachers, administrators, education students, school counselors, family advocates, and anyone seeking inspiration around inclusion, integrity, resilience, and leadership in education.

  Of the many profound works by James Allen, the pioneering voice of the New Thought movement, The Mastery of Destiny stands as a powerful and practical guide to the pinnacle of self-creation. While his timeless classic, As a Man Thinketh, laid the foundation by revealing the formative power of thought, this volume builds upon it, charting the path to conscious living and absolute self-command. Written as a companion piece to The Life Triumphant , it delves into the principles of self-control, willpower, and purpose, arguing that we are not mere bystanders to fate but active architects of our destiny. Allen’s philosophy, distilled from a life marked by hardship and contemplation , asserts that by mastering our inner world, we can transform our outer circumstances, turning suffering into triumph and chaos into order. 
  Here, Allen moves from principle to practice, meticulously detailing how the laws of mind and character operate in everyday life. He argues with compelling conviction that destiny is not a matter of chance, but a matter of choice—the direct result of deeds and habits willingly repeated until they become the iron girders of our fate. This is the science of self-determination, a call to harness the divine forces of will and purpose to rise above circumstance and forge a life of profound accomplishment and peace. 
  Positioned between the foundational insights of As a Man Thinketh and the structural wisdom of Eight Pillars of Prosperity, The Mastery of Destiny is the essential manual for the application of Allen's philosophy. It is for those who understand the power of thought and are now ready to undertake the greatest of all journeys: the mastery of oneself.

  A searing chronicle of ambition, brutality, and collapse, Broken Supremacy: The Rise and Fall of the Wehrmacht in Russia reveals the untold dimensions of the most catastrophic military campaign in modern history. 
  At the height of its power, the Wehrmacht was celebrated as an unstoppable force, an army honed on lightning victories, driven by a doctrine of speed and annihilation. Yet on the vast, unforgiving battlefields of the Eastern Front, that supremacy was shattered. This groundbreaking work peels back the myths to expose the flawed strategies, fatal hubris, and relentless resistance that led to the Wehrmacht’s disintegration against the Soviet war machine. 
  Drawing on newly unearthed archives, soldiers’ testimonies, and penetrating analysis, the book traces the Wehrmacht’s trajectory from its initial triumphs in 1941 to its devastating reversals at Stalingrad, Kursk, and beyond. It examines the interplay between ideology and strategy, the limitations of military innovation, and the human toll of a conflict that claimed millions of lives. More than a military history, it is an unflinching portrait of a regime’s overreach and the resilience of those who resisted it. 
  Written with cinematic immediacy and scholarly authority, Broken Supremacy illuminates how the Wehrmacht’s rise carried the seeds of its downfall, and why its defeat in Russia sealed the fate of Nazi Germany itself.

  A look at the major events of the twentieth century through the eyes of the man who witnessed it all: celebrated BBC foreign correspondent Charles Wheeler. This audiobook is narrated by his daughter, Shirin Wheeler, and features original audio from Charles' broadcasting days. Charles Wheeler, the BBC's longest-serving foreign correspondent, was one of Britain's greatest news reporters. For more than four decades, he reported for radio and television from most of the world's trouble spots. Present at many of the key episodes of the twentieth century, he had - as a BBC manager noted after the shooting of George Wallace, Presidential candidate and Governor of Alabama, on 15 May 1972, 'a knack of being in the right place at the right time'.  It was typical of Charles that he ran towards the sound of the gunshot while the crowd was running in the opposite direction.Wheeler's investigative skill and sense of judgement made him one of the most authoritative reporters of his generation. But what was it like to have been witness to the events that shaped our modern world? In this book - part memoir, part history, part reflection - his daughter, Shirin Wheeler, examines her father's journalistic legacy and brings her personal knowledge to bear on the project. She will tell the story of her father: a patient listener and forensic interrogator who was driven by curiosity and passion to report and expose injustice, and above all to give a voice to people ignored or unheard by many.

  This audiobook narrated by Katherine Fenton explores how the politicization of the pandemic endangers our lives—and our democracy
  
  COVID-19 has killed more people than any war or public health crisis in American history, but the scale and grim human toll of the pandemic were not inevitable. Pandemic Politics examines how Donald Trump politicized COVID-19, shedding new light on how his administration tied the pandemic to the president's political fate in an election year and chose partisanship over public health, with disastrous consequences for all of us.
  
  Health is not an inherently polarizing issue, but the Trump administration's partisan response to COVID-19 led ordinary citizens to prioritize what was good for their "team" rather than what was good for their country. Democrats, in turn, viewed the crisis as evidence of Trump's indifference to public well-being. At a time when solidarity and bipartisan unity were sorely needed, Americans came to see the pandemic in partisan terms, adopting behaviors and attitudes that continue to divide us today. This book draws on a wealth of new data on public opinion to show how pandemic politics has touched all aspects of our lives—from the economy to race and immigration—and puts America's COVID-19 response in global perspective.
  
  An in-depth account of a uniquely American tragedy, Pandemic Politics reveals how the politicization of the COVID-19 pandemic has profound and troubling implications for public health and the future of democracy itself.
