  Acres of Diamonds by Russell H. Conwell is one of the most influential motivational speeches ever given, emphasizing that wealth, success, and opportunity are often closer than we realize. Originally delivered as a lecture over 6,000 times before being published in 1890, this classic work argues that anyone can find prosperity and fulfillment by recognizing and cultivating the opportunities in their own surroundings. 
  Through powerful storytelling and real-world examples, Conwell demonstrates that true riches—both material and spiritual—are not found in distant lands but right where we stand. Narrated by Nathan Edwards, this audiobook breathes new life into Conwell’s timeless wisdom, inspiring listeners to rethink their approach to success and self-improvement. 
  This enduring work remains a cornerstone of personal development literature, influencing countless entrepreneurs, business leaders, and success coaches. Acres of Diamonds is more than a lesson in wealth—it is a call to recognize and harness the potential that already exists in our lives.

  The Student

  From the president of Wesleyan University, an illuminating history of the student, spanning from antiquity to Zoom 
   
  In this sweeping book, Michael S. Roth narrates a vivid and dynamic history of students, exploring some of the principal models for learning that have developed in very different contexts, from the sixth century BCE to the present. 
   
  Beginning with the followers of Confucius, Socrates, and Jesus and moving to medieval apprentices, students at Enlightenment centers of learning, and learners enrolled in twenty-first-century universities, he explores how students have been followers, interlocutors, disciples, rebels, and children becoming adults. There are many ways to be a student, Roth argues, but at their core is developing the capacity to think for oneself by learning from others, and thereby finding freedom. 
   
  In an age of machine learning, this book celebrates the student who develops more than mastery, cultivating curiosity, judgment, creativity, and an ability to keep learning beyond formal schooling. Roth shows how the student throughout history has been someone who interacts dynamically with the world, absorbing its lessons and creatively responding to them.

  Scott M. Deitche presents an in-depth exposé on East Harlem's notorious Purple Gang whose murderous exploits became a media obsession and Mafia lynchpin. 
   
   
   
  In the late 1970s, a string of seemingly unconnected murders had Harlem police and federal authorities at their wits' end until they realized several commonalities. The victims were all either Mafia members or potential witnesses of Mafia activity and they'd all been shot from .22 pistols traced back to a single private sale in Florida. From these details, the FBI and police were able to build a profile of a rogue sect of Mafia hitmen known as the East Harlem Purple Gang. 
   
   
   
  Starting on the fringes of Mafia families, the Purple Gang members became indispensable and installed members in the highest ranks of the Genovese, Bonanno, and Lucchese families. Often serving as freelance hitmen, kidnappers, and drug traffickers, the Purple Gang's exploits quickly crossed into mythology as media outlets scrambled to keep up with new murders and the law's crusade to bring the gang members to justice. Sifting through the mystery and mythos, author Scott M. Deitche brings readers into Harlem's gritty streets to experience the Purple Gang's reign of terror, the investigators who tried to bring them down, and the gang members who either suffered violent ends or are still at large today.

  The vivid account of a war correspondent shot down over Germany and taken prisoner. 
   
   
   
  Bennett was one of several journalists to fly a night raid over Berlin in November 1943. This is the vivid testimony of an American journalist shot down over Berlin. After he was captured in Berlin, he was taken on a tour of Germany and shown what the civilian population was being subjected to. Bennett spent the rest of the war in Stalag Luft I, where he started the newspaper POW WOW, secretly read by 9,000 prisoners. Bennett's experiences led him to condemn the Allied policy of systematically bombing civilian population centers.
