  Angelica - For Love and Country...

  Few women of the American Revolution have come through 250 years of US history with such clarity and color as Angelica Schuyler Church. She was Alexander Hamilton's "saucy" sister-in-law, and the heart of Thomas Jefferson's "charming coterie" of artists and salonnières in Paris. Her transatlantic network of important friends spanned the political spectrum of her time and place, and her astute eye and brilliant letters kept them well informed. 
   
   
   
  A woman of great influence in a time of influential women (Catherine the Great and Marie-Antoinette were contemporaries), Angelica was at the red-hot center of American history at its birth: in Boston, when General Burgoyne surrendered to the revolutionaries; in Newport, receiving French troops under the command of her soon-to-be dear friend Marquis de Lafayette; in Yorktown, just after the decisive battle; in Paris and London, helping to determine the standing of the new nation on the world stage. 
   
   
   
  In this enthralling and revealing woman's-eye view of a revolutionary era, Molly Beer breathes vibrant new life into a period usually dominated by masculine themes and often dulled by familiarity. In telling Angelica's story, she illuminates how American women have always plied influence and networks for political ends, including the making of a new nation.

  The human brain is an impossibly complex and delicate instrument—capable of extraordinary calculations, abundant creativity, and linguistic dexterity. But the brain is not just the most brilliant of evolutionary wonders. It's also one of the most bizarre. 
   
   
   
  This book shows a whole other side of how brains work—from the patient who is afraid to take a shower because she fears her body will slip down the drain to a man who is convinced he is a cat and a woman who compulsively snacks on cigarette ashes. 
   
   
   
  As fascinating as they are, the cases discussed in this book are more than just oddities. In attempting to understand them, neuroscientists have uncovered important details about how the brain works. You'll be intrigued and amazed by some of the weird things your brain does on a daily basis, seemingly without your awareness or consent, and maybe you'll even gain an increased appreciation for the stability of the reality you experience. This book is ideal both for listeners seeking a better appreciation of the inner workings of the brain and those who simply want some extraordinary topics for dinner-party conversation.

  THE PULITZER PRIZE-WINNING CLASSIC OF POLITICAL INTEGRITY 
  Introduction Written and Read by Caroline Kennedy; Book read by John F. Kennedy Jr. 
  John F. Kennedy’s enduring classic resounds with timeless lessons on the most cherished of virtues—courage and patriotism—and remains a moving, powerful, and relevant testament to the indomitable American spirit  
  During 1954-55, Kennedy, then a junior senator from the state of Massachusetts, profiled eight American patriots, mainly United States Senators, who at crucial moments in our nation’s history, revealed a special sort of greatness: men who disregarded dreadful consequences to their public and private lives to do that one thing which seemed right in itself. They were men of various political and regional allegiances—their one overriding loyalty was to the United States. 
  Courage such as these men shared, Kennedy makes clear, is central to all morality—a man does what he must in spite of personal consequences—and these exciting stories suggest that, without in the least disparaging the courage with which men die, we should not overlook the true greatness adorning those acts of courage with which men must live.  
  As Robert F. Kennedy writes in the foreword, Profiles in Courage “is not just stories of the past but a book of hope and confidence for the future. What happens to the country, to the world, depends on what we do with what others have left us.""

  America is in its last days. While it has become great again on a short-term basis, in the long term, America falls, and this author proves this authoritatively and persuasively in a very interesting and articulate manner. 
  We have experts ad infinitum on everything about America's past, present, and future, but nearly all the experts focus on a pure secular perspective, void of any acknowledgment of the spiritual. This audiobook includes both to arrive at a far more realistic and fact-based forecast of America's future. Whether you are a secular historian or a devout Christian, you'll be stretched with ideas in this audiobook you've never heard anywhere else. You'll also get the answer to a question no one has fully answered up to now. 
  What motivates radical liberals to do what they are doing? The author takes you inside the mind of a liberal like no one else ever has. You'll finally know what makes them tick. What if America was on the verge of a massive market crash, but all the experts kept saying the economy has nowhere to go but up, and all the books and talking heads promised a bright and prosperous future? In such an environment, would you not be wise to at least read one contrarian book that indicated the market may be poised for a horrendous crash? If America is on the precipice of darkness, don't you want to know? 
  This audiobook about America's future may be the most important audiobook you'll ever listen to. There are three chapters you cannot afford to miss:The psychology of liberalismWhat God says about narcissism and psychopathyThe trajectory of America's final days 
  Fasten your seat belt, because this audiobook is not what you expect.
