  We broke our new series on learning Filipino [Tagalog] down into different learning stages. Start with the "Lower Beginner" books followed by the "Beginner" and "Upper Beginner" books. Next, progress to the "Intermediate" series, then test and reinforce your knowledge with the "Conversations" series. 
  This audiobook is divided into units.While it provides different learning patterns and accommodates various needs, this audiobook focuses on helping you improve your ability to understand, speak, and memorise Filipino [Tagalog]. 
  In Unit 1 you will hear Filipino [Tagalog] decoded with each syllable spoken very slowly and clearly with repetition. Immediately before each sentence is spoken, you will hear the translation, so you will always understand what is being said. 
  Unit 2 focuses solely on increasing your listening ability, which will improve your abilities to engage in dialogue with a native Filipino [Tagalog] speaker. This chapter requires you to listen very carefully to nuances in the language. 
  By Unit 3 you will already notice progress in your abilities to speak and understand Filipino [Tagalog]. The spoken translation is followed by two repetitions in Filipino [Tagalog] at a completely natural speed. While you are learning to process naturally spoken Filipino [Tagalog], Units 3 and 4 will help you memorise new vocabulary and full sentences. 
  In Unit 5 you can test yourself on how much you have learned. If you are having difficulties, we suggest you revisit the listening, speaking, or memorisation section of Units 1, 2 3 or 4, according to what you need more help with.

  The Suppression of Truth in the...

  In today’s world we live in a culture of truth suppression. This is true in representative democracies like the United States as well as full totalitarian dictatorships like Communist China. 
  This book covers many areas of major lies like Global Warming, perverted doctrines taught in schools, Politics, News Suppression, Communist China, limitations in Spirituality, deficit spending, and problems with globalism. 
  There are many different types of truth suppression and as much as we would like to think that we live in an advanced culture and world, this effort by different entities to suppress truth affects our lives negatively in many ways. 
  The most direct effect is that we live in fear of the future of our world which is a big lie. 
  This suppression also keeps us from fully realizing our spiritual natures and that we do have the ability to accomplish amazing things when we live with full honesty in our lives. 
  I believe that individuals are closest to a state of happiness when they live their lives in truth. (See my book “A New Paradigm of Truth and Happiness” for more information.) 
  There are actions we can take to correct this situation but they are mass actions which need many persons involved to have a real effect. A list of these actions are given later in this book.

  A lively, accessible, and timely guide to Marxist economics for those who want to understand and dismantle the world of the 1%. 
   
   
   
  Economists regularly promote Capitalism as the greatest system ever to grace the planet. With the same breath, they implore us to leave the job of understanding the magical powers of the market to the "experts." 
   
   
   
  Despite the efforts of these mainstream commentators to convince us otherwise, many of us have begun to question why this system has produced such vast inequality and wanton disregard for its own environmental destruction. This book offers answers to exactly these questions on their own terms: in the form of a radical economic theory.

  The Life of Kings - The...

  In an age when local daily papers with formerly robust reporting are cutting sections and even closing their doors, the contributors to The Life of Kings celebrate the heyday of one such paper, the Baltimore Sun, when it set the agenda for Baltimore, was a force in Washington, and extended its reach around the globe. Contributors like David Simon, creator of HBO’s The Wire, and renowned political cartoonist Kevin Kallaugher (better known as KAL), tell what it was like to work in what may have been the last golden age of American newspapers -- when journalism still seemed like “the life of kings” that H.L. Mencken so cheerfully remembered. The writers in this volume recall the standards that made the Sun and other fine independent newspapers a bulwark of civic life for so long. Their contributions affirm that the core principles they followed are no less imperative for the new forms of journalism: a strong sense of the public interest in whose name they were acting, a reverence for accuracy, and an obligation

  Disclaimer: This is not the official book, but a summary & it does not accompany the official. 
  As you delve into our concise summary of Zinn's monumental work, you will navigate through the turbulent waters of America's history, encountering narratives of resistance, activism, and the fierce struggle for justice and equality. We uncover stories seldom told, spotlighting individuals and movements that challenged the status quo and fought valiantly against oppression and inequality. 
  Our summary accentuates Zinn's commitment to a history that is a source of inspiration, not just a recounting of past events but a living document that resonates in today's society. It challenges readers to question the accepted narratives and to understand that history is not just the story of the victors, but a tapestry woven with the countless stories of everyday people. 
  Join us in exploring a vibrant and starkly different perspective on American history, where the voiceless get a voice and the unsung heroes take the center stage. It is not just a recounting of history; it is a call to consciousness, an invitation to rethink the past, and to forge a future that is inclusive, just, and fair.
