  The only audiobook of the live Jan. 6 Select Committee Hearings, illuminating one of the most shocking days in contemporary American history through the unforgettable testimony and a foreword by lawyer and legal analyst Preet Bharara. 
   
  The select committee's investigation into the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol gripped the country in ways reminiscent of Watergate or the Clinton Impeachment. From the opening statements by Congressman Bennie Thompson and Congresswoman Liz Cheney, to Cassidy Hutchinson’s riveting surprise testimony, to the vote to subpoena former President Donald J. Trump, the hearings were carefully crafted to tell the story of the day our democracy was put in peril.   
   
  The January 6th Tapes is the only audiobook where listeners can hear all 20 hours of unabridged audio recordings – each of the nine public hearings is full of stunning testimony from Trump allies, aides, and lawyers; legal experts; participants in the attacks; and members of the team tasked with protecting the Capitol building that day. It includes a foreword from Preet Bharara, former U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York, examining the historical impact of the committee and the hearings, as well as the effect they will have on American democracy.  
   
  Hearing the testimony helps all students of history understand the stakes in a way simply not possible from reading the report. As such, The January 6th Tapes is an easily accessible archive providing a lasting chronicle of one of the darkest days in U.S. history.

  The Basis of Everything

  Before the Manhattan Project, before nuclear warfare and the horrors of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, there was the twentieth century's great scientific quest to fathom the secrets of the atom.The unlikely story of an Antipodean friendship that changed the world forever. 
    
  Centered on the inter-war years - within the ivy clad walls of Cambridge University's famed Cavendish Laboratory, amid the windswept valleys of north Wales, and in the industrial heartland of Birmingham - The Basis of Everything is the story of the coming of the atomic bomb, and how the unlikely union of two scientists - Ernest Rutherford, the son of a New Zealand farmer, and Mark Oliphant, a peace-loving vegetarian from a tiny Australian hills village - would change the world. 
  The story that bonds Ernest Rutherford and Mark Oliphant is as extraordinary as it is unlikely. They were kindred souls, schooled and steeped in the furthest frontiers of Britain's empire, whose restless intellect and tireless conviction fused in the crucible of discovery at Cambridge University's celebrated Cavendish Laboratory, at a time when nature's deepest secrets were being revealed. Their brilliance illuminated the sub-atomic recesses of the natural world and, as a direct result, set loose the power of nuclear fusion. 
  It was a heartfelt, enduring partnership, born at the University of Adelaide's modest physics department and then flourishing further in the confines of the Cavendish before ultimately driving the famed Manhattan Project, which produced the world's first nuclear weapons, unleashed to such devastating effect on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. 
  Rutherford and Oliphant were men with a shared devotion to pure science, who, through circumstance and necessity, found themselves betrayed as instruments of wars they detested but were duty-bound to prosecute. Consequently, their influence was pivotal in the last great global conflict the world witnessed and in engendering the thermonuclear threat that has held the planet hostage ever since. Yet their pioneering work also lives on in a vast array of innovations seeded by nuclear physics, from radiocarbon dating and TV screens to life-saving diagnostic-imaging devices. 
  PRAISE FOR THE BASIS OF EVERYTHING 
  ""In The Basis of Everything, journalist Andrew Ramsey has succeeded in telling a story so detailed and compelling that even knowing where it leads does not distract from the journey."" The Sydney Morning Herald

  Being in flow is when you are “in the zone,” “on your game,” or even “on fire.” It is both a mental state and a physical one. You have a feeling of complete focus, full involvement, and deep enjoyment in whatever you are doing. You feel the activity takes no energy from you—indeed you feel that it is giving you energy. You barely notice the passage of time. You feel calm but almost ecstatic. Most of us have glimpsed being in this state. But what if you could be in your zone not just for a moment of flow, nor merely for a day, but always and forever? This book shows you how to achieve that state, based on the enduring ancient Chinese wisdom of Daoist principles and practice. Millions of people have lived a better, happier, and more productive life by following all or some of these Daoist principles. This book provides the seven core principles of Daoism to help you live your life in productive yet relaxed flow for extended periods—or all the time.
