  What happens when silence turns into solidarity? 
  In 2018, artist and activist Erin Darcy launched 'In Her Shoes – Women of the Eighth', an online project where Irish women anonymously shared the realities of abortion under the Eighth Amendment. Within months, hundreds of stories poured in, breaking decades of taboo and helping shift public opinion before Ireland’s historic vote to repeal the Amendment that May. Garnering over 100,000 followers and global media attention, the project became both a national reckoning and a personal act of healing for Darcy, who transformed grief into activism. 
  Seven years on, as reproductive rights worldwide face renewed political pressure, 'In Her Shoes' remains a landmark in digital activism: proof that storytelling can shape legislation and a reminder that change begins when we dare to listen — and to step, gently, into another's shoes.  
  Please note that this audiobook includes graphic descriptions and lived experiences that some listeners may find upsetting.  
  Erin is a self-taught artist and activist. Inspired by women and children, Erin's paintings and writing often reflect the taboo subjects of miscarriage, grief, mother-loss, abortion, depression, and radical self-love.

  We’ve all read the cybersecurity horror stories: a prominent company exposes the private information of their customers only to scramble after the fact to apologize and safeguard the data.

  In The Cyber-Elephant in the Boardroom, data security expert and CEO Mathieu Gorge, along with a host of guests, shows why protecting a company’s data should be top of mind for C-suites and corporate boards. With the innovative 5 Pillars of Security Framework, any C-level executive can understand their organization’s cyber risk and the steps they need to take to protect their information. There’s a cyber-elephant in the boardroom and it needs to be addressed!

  We live in a world built by fire and wrapped in plastic — a planet reshaped by our own invention. From the first flicker of flame to the glow of the digital screen, humanity’s genius has transformed the Earth’s systems in ways no species has ever done before. 
  In The Age of Fire and Plastic, Alex Southwick traces the story of the Anthropocene — the era in which humans became a geological force. Through vivid storytelling and sharp insight, Southwick reveals how our tools of progress — oil, metal, concrete, and polymer — have left indelible marks in the air, sea, and soil. 
  But this is not merely a tale of ruin. It’s also a meditation on what it means to live consciously in a world of our own making. How do we find awe, responsibility, and meaning when the natural and artificial are now one and the same? 
  Sweeping in scope yet deeply personal, The Age of Fire and Plastic is an essential journey through humanity’s defining century — and a call to shape the next one with intention rather than accident.

  AN AMAZON BESTSELLER IN PUBLIC AFFAIRS & ADMINISTRATION 
    
  AN INGRAMSPARK BESTSELLER IN HEALTH POLICY 
    
  Why do some ideas transform entire systems while others never spread? 
    
  We celebrate startups for changing the world. We rarely ask how innovation happens inside government. Yet some of America's most influential healthcare innovations did not begin in Silicon Valley. They began inside Medicaid.  
   
  In Public Startup, physician, professor, and public health leader Christopher R. Cogle takes readers behind the scenes of one of America's most misunderstood institutions to reveal how meaningful change actually happens. 
    
  Through compelling patient stories, political battles, historical turning points, and firsthand accounts from inside medicine, entrepreneurship, academia, and state government, he uncovers the surprising forces that allow new ideas to take root and improve millions of lives. 
   
  Along the way, Cogle introduces three powerful ideas that challenge conventional thinking: 
    
  * The Margins Lead the Middle. Solutions developed for society's most vulnerable often become the standard for everyone. 
  * Bureaucrats Take the Risks. Many of the boldest experiments in healthcare happen quietly inside government. 
  * The Safety Net Is a Ladder. The strongest public programs create opportunity, restore independence, and strengthen entire communities. 
   
  Hopeful, provocative, and deeply human, Public Startup reveals that innovation is not confined to startups or private industry. Sometimes the ideas that change the world emerge from the institutions we least expect. Whether you're a healthcare professional, policymaker, entrepreneur, public servant, or simply curious about how real change happens, Public Startup will change the way you think about innovation and where to find it.
