  This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.   
  Empire of Rum – The Unofficial Economy of Early Australia is a gripping journey through the colony’s most intoxicating secret: that rum, not coin, built Australia. 
  In the fledgling settlement of New South Wales, alcohol was more than a drink - it was money, power, and survival. From the notorious Rum Corps to the only successful military coup in Australian history, this audiobook brings to life the corruption, rebellion and everyday struggles that flowed through the barrels of rum. 
  But the story doesn’t stop in the past. Linking colonial rum trading to modern Australia, this powerful work shows how alcohol still fuels crime, family breakdown, and an overwhelmed justice system. 
  Part history, part social critique, Empire of Rum pulls no punches in exposing how alcohol became and remains a currency of control. 
  Perfect for listeners of Australian history, true crime, and social justice narratives.

  Aesthetics is a branch of philosophy that explores the nature of beauty, art, and taste, and the creation and appreciation of beauty. It examines what makes something aesthetically pleasing or beautiful, and the principles underlying the judgments and experiences related to these concepts. 
  Aesthetics addresses a wide range of questions: What is beauty? Can aesthetic value be objectively determined, or is it entirely subjective? What role do cultural and historical contexts play in shaping our perceptions of beauty and art? How do sensory experiences and emotions influence our aesthetic judgments? 
  The field of aesthetics is deeply interdisciplinary, intersecting with art criticism, cultural studies, psychology, and even neuroscience, to understand how humans perceive and respond to aesthetic experiences. Aesthetic theory often involves the analysis of artworks, literature, music, and natural beauty, seeking to uncover the principles and criteria that govern aesthetic appreciation and creation.

  This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.   
  Where empire rose, mercy fell. 
  In No Place for Mercy, ancient Rome is unmasked—not as the marble-clad cradle of civilization, but as a brutal stage where sex, violence, and power played their most calculated roles. With a piercing lens, this provocative and deeply researched work reveals how sexual violence was not only a consequence of conquest but a deliberate tool of political manipulation and imperial propaganda. 
  From the mythologized Rape of the Sabine Women to the whispered scandals of imperial courts, No Place for Mercy exposes how Rome’s leaders wielded control over bodies as a means to control the narrative, transforming victims into symbols and violence into a spectacle. 
  Drawing from primary sources, inscriptions, and visual art, this groundbreaking book explores how Roman elites exploited sexual violence to define citizenship, masculinity, and moral order. It challenges romanticized visions of antiquity and forces us to confront the uncomfortable truths beneath Rome’s glorious facade. 
  Bold, unflinching, and urgently relevant, this is history that speaks to today’s conversations about power, gender, and the weaponization of sexuality. For scholars, students, and anyone who dares to ask what lies beneath the empire’s polished stone, No Place for Mercy is an essential and unforgettable read.

  The Home I Worked to Make -...

  War forced millions of Syrians from their homes. It also forced them to rethink the meaning of home itself. 
   
   
   
  In 2011, Syrians took to the streets demanding freedom. Brutal government repression transformed peaceful protests into one of the most devastating conflicts of our times, killing hundreds of thousands and displacing millions. The Home I Worked to Make takes Syria's refugee outflow as its point of departure. Based on hundreds of interviews conducted across more than a decade, it probes a question as intimate as it is universal: What is home? With gripping immediacy, Syrians now on five continents share stories of leaving, losing, searching, and finding (or not finding) home. Across this tapestry of voices, a new understanding emerges: home, for those without the privilege of taking it for granted, is both struggle and achievement. Recasting "refugee crises" as acts of diaspora-making, The Home I Worked to Make challenges listeners to grapple with the hard-won wisdom of those who survive war and to see, with fresh eyes, what home means in their own lives.
