Synopsis

Indyref: the Scottish Referendum of 2014 in which 84.6% of the Scottish public voted, making it one of the largest voter turnouts in British political history.

This book is an inside account of the independence referendum campaign. It captures the highs and lows and twists and turns from a perspective close to the decision-making frontline, but far enough removed to offer a dispassionate and personal perspective of the unfolding events. Wishart takes the reader back to the energy, excitement and drama of the biggest political decision the Scottish people have ever been asked to participate in – a truly immersive experience, with people previously uninterested in political campaigning engaged in trying to win for their respective camp. 

The referendum changed everything in Scottish political life and its influence is felt in every one of our political institutions, and remains indelibly embedded in our political culture.

There is a very real sense that the many promises made around more powers for Scotland, made during the independence referendum 
by the uk Government, have not been realised.

The independence referendum itself may be long concluded, but its impacts, effects and legacy remain very much live. There can be no doubt that many of the constitutional debates that continue to take place today have their origins in the absorbing and beguiling campaign for independence.

    Africa is one of the oldest continents but hasn’t it struck you as absolutely odd how a continent endowed with such wealth in terms of both ground resource as well as human resource, unbelievably great weather and wonderful soil can have such unbelievably high levels of poverty? It is nothing short of preposterous. 
    What makes this worse for is the fact that 58 years later, Africa still grapples with so much challenges that make you wonder why it has taken us so long as a people to be emancipated in every way. 
    In 1963, on 1st May, leaders from all across free and colonized Africa gathered in Addis Ababa with a dream of seeing the African continent become one giant regional power. It has not happened yet – but however that does not take away the yearning every son and daughter of the soil has to see Pan Africanism materialize. 
    The purpose for this narrative by the author in this particular book is to add his voice and help ignite any smoldering rubble of broken dreams and disenchantment back to a blazing flame. 
    It is Mwambazi’s opinion that Africa has everything it needs to become the economic engine of the entire world and can and will surpass both the West and the East should its citizens awaken to their true potential. 
    Now here is the enigma, AFRICA DOESN’T NEED THE REST OF THE WORLD TO SURVIVE BUT THE WORLD NEEDS AFRICA TO SURVIVE. I believe the Second African Renaissance is upon us, but it will take A COLLECTIVE AWAKENING OF THE GIANT’S INDIVIDUAL COMPONENTS – ITS PEOPLE!

    Forged in the Steppe

    This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice. In the early 13th century, a coalition of steppe clans transformed into the most dynamic war machine and governing enterprise of its age. Forged in the Steppe follows the ascent of Genghis Khan from fractured tribal politics to continental empire, tracing campaigns across North China and Central Asia and the devastating clash with the Khwarazmian state. Beyond the battlefield, it reveals how the Mongols built a state that ran on speed, law, and logistics—postal relays, multilingual chanceries, merchant partnerships, and a disciplined guard that enforced clear rules from Karakorum to Bukhara. The book explores the empire’s image among friends and foes, the balance of terror and trust, and the careful choreography of succession that carried power beyond Genghis Khan’s death in 1227. It culminates in the shock of 1241–1242, when Europe reeled at Legnica and Mohi before the riders turned back, leaving a changed political imagination in their wake. This is the story of how hoofbeats, paper, and policy remade Eurasia.

    When Bishop Denis Moynihan had Jayne Mansfield's cabaret cancelled from the pulpit in 1967, few could have imagined that within fifty years Ireland would repeal the Eighth Amendment by popular vote. What happened in between is one of the most profound social transformations in modern Europe.
    Forbidden Ireland is a powerful, definitive and compulsively readable work of social history. Journalist TP O'Mahony traces seven decades of Church–State conflict. From the shadowed realities of Mother and Baby Homes and Magdalene laundries to the national outcry following the death of Savita Halappanavar, and the repeal of the Eighth Amendment. At the heart of the story are the women who refused to remain silent. Their courage forced Ireland to confront itself and change.
    With an introduction by Rosita Sweetman, Forbidden Ireland is essential reading for anyone seeking to understand the events that remade a country – and the forces that could unmake that progress. As women's rights face a regression across the Western world, O'Mahony's account is not only a history of what was won, but a warning about what could still be lost.

    This is the first episode of The Eyes of Penn, an audio book series written and produced for listeners that experience cognitive decline. 
    If you are a caretaker seeking an audiobook for your loved one that is respectively made for an adult with mild to moderate dementia, this is for you. 
    In this first episode of The Eyes of Penn, the listener is introduced to the rock band called The Johnsons, the protagonist of our story. 
    The Johnsons are a group of four musicians, whose love for music and fellowship withstand the elusive goal of commercial success. In just trying to make a living playing music, they find themselves being tested; having to stand up to powerful forces that collide with their world. A collision that occasionally require the members of the band to tap into hidden powers. 
    This audiobook series seeks to provide caretakers with a hidden power as well. An alternative audio - designed, written and produced with their cognitively challenged loved ones in mind. For example, an elderly listener may have challenges with concentration, or perhaps unable or unwilling to fully read a book themselves. 
    These audio books seek to bridge these gaps, and deliver caretakers with some much-needed down time, while their loved one is being read a story. 
    Chapters are short (2-3 minutes long), contain summaries and music interludes between chapters are played. These are just a few of the applied techniques designed to keep the attention of a cognitively challenged listener, stimulate the imagination and deliver sustained entertainment.
