Protagoras - A Dialogue on...

Plato, Tim Zengerink

What if public wisdom was only a performance? 
In Protagoras, Plato stages an epic confrontation between two forces: Socratic philosophy and Sophistic reputation. At the heart of this dramatic dialogue is a question that echoes through the centuries—can virtue be taught, or is it just a clever performance by those who claim to know? 
With dazzling speeches, sly irony, and relentless questioning, this modern audiobook adaptation brings to life one of Plato’s most dynamic texts. 
What you’ll discover inside: 
•	A powerful intellectual showdown between Socrates and the famed sophist Protagoras 
•	Insight into the tension between rhetoric, education, and genuine wisdom 
•	Philosophical inquiry into whether virtue is teachable—or even definable 
•	A vivid, flowing modern translation designed to entertain as well as challenge 
Whether you're a teacher, student, or truth-seeker, Protagoras will leave you questioning the difference between knowledge and applause.

Ten Years to Save the West -...

Liz Truss

'I want to provide a call to action for fellow conservatives who believe in our nation and our way of life and who share my frustration at what has been going wrong with our politics and governance. I want others to heed the warnings of what I saw happening and learn the lessons of the battle I lost.'
Over the course of a decade as a minister, Liz Truss sought to champion limited government and individual freedom in the face of the left-wing political agenda that frames the debate in so many institutions. Ousted by the establishment but still fighting for conservatism, Truss argues here that the rise of authoritarianism and the adoption of fashionable ideas propagated by the global left give us barely a decade to preserve the economic and cultural freedoms and institutions that the West holds so dear.
Peppered with newsworthy anecdotes from Truss's time in public life – such as her memorable last meeting with Queen Elizabeth II, her confrontations with the regimes in Moscow and Beijing, her encounters with the Trump administration and her dismay at the political class's attempt to betray Brexit – Ten Years to Save the West is an urgent and impassioned call to conservatives about the radical changes that are needed for us to save the West. Ignore her warning at your peril.

Blue-Coated Terror - Jim Crow...

Jeffrey S. Adler

A searing chronicle of how racist violence became an ingrained facet of policing in the United States 
 
Contrary to competing popular beliefs, police violence against African Americans has neither remained unchanged since the era of slavery nor is it a recent phenomenon disconnected from the past. In Bluecoated Terror, Jeffrey S. Adler draws on rich archival accounts to show how racialized police brutality is part of a larger system of state oppression with roots in the early twentieth-century South, particularly New Orleans. 
 
Wide racial differentials in the use of lethal force and beatings during arrest and interrogation emerged in the 1930s and 1940s. Adler explains how race control and crime control blended and blurred during this era, when police officers and criminal justice officials began to justify systemic violence against Black people as a crucial—and legal—tool for maintaining law and order. Bluecoated Terrorexplores both the rise of these trends and their chilling persistence, providing critical context for recent horrific police abuses as the ghost of Jim Crow continues to haunt the nation. 
 
“Jeffrey S. Adler’s analysis of New Orleans applies to the entire country and provides key insights as to how we arrived at our present crisis.”—Ibram X. Kendi, author of Stamped from the Beginning: The Definitive History of Racist Ideas in America
