  Love Offers No Safety: Nigeria's Queer Men Speak is a raw and powerful collection of 25 first-person narratives that explore the diverse experience of queer Nigerian men. These stirring stories cut across age, class, religion, ethnicity, family and relationships, offering a glimpse into what it means to survive as a queer man in Nigeria. From Tunji, who takes us back to the thriving networking community before social media, to Chukwori, who struggles to reconcile his need to serve God with his sexuality, and Abdulkarim, who frustratingly wonders if he'll ever stop working twice as hard to be accepted, these stories are full of contradictions, anger, resiliency, profound insight, and radical hope.
  
  With heightened levels of oppression, violence, and discrimination faced by LGBTQ Nigerians due to the Same Sex Marriage (Prohibition) Law, these voices remind us of what the queer community in Nigeria has always been fighting for - the freedom to be themselves, love themselves, and love each other, despite being viewed as unworthy. Love Offers No Safety is a heart-breaking yet hopeful reminder that love knows no boundaries and offers no safety, but it is worth fighting for.

  Grand Old Unraveling - The...

  It didn't begin with Donald Trump. Since the time of FDR, the Republican Party has been home to conspiracy thinking, including a belief that lost elections were rigged. And when Republicans later won the White House, the party elevated their presidents to heroic status—a predisposition that eventually posed a threat to democracy. John Kenneth White proposes to explain why this happened—not just the election of Trump but the authoritarian shift in the party as a whole that led to the insurrection of January 6, 2021, and its aftermath. 
   
   
   
  White presents a clear and concise analysis of how the modern Republican Party came to be by tracing historical patterns that reach back to the 1930s. He argues that the rise of Republican authoritarianism has been decades in the making, going back to the desperation that took hold among party elites in the wake of twenty years of Democratic dominance between 1932 and 1952. The fear of losing that overtook the party during the Roosevelt period eventually led to an escalation of intrigue that included the rise of the John Birch Society in the 1950s and QAnon today. White traces the development of this culture of conspiracy theories within the GOP and explains how the emphasis on winning at any cost created a cult of personality and a willingness to seize power by any means necessary.

  This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.   
  “Pandemics Through Time: The History That Shaped Humanity” is a clear, human story of how diseases and people have shaped each other—from the first crowded cities to the age of jet travel and beyond. Blending vivid history with plain explanations of science, it shows how outbreaks begin, how they spread, how societies respond, and how each crisis leaves behind new tools, new ideas, and new responsibilities. 
  The journey starts in the ancient world, where the Plague of Athens revealed how war and crowding turn illness into disaster, and moves through the Justinianic Plague, where rats, fleas, grain ships, and empire combined to send buboes and fear across continents. It then meets the Black Death, the great turning point that reordered labor, faith, and power in Europe, and taught hard lessons about quarantine, care, and the costs of blame. 
  Crossing oceans, the book shows how smallpox and measles traveled with conquest during the Columbian Exchange, and how Indigenous and African knowledge, along with early variolation and vaccination, began a long fight back. In the nineteenth century, cholera raced through booming cities and forced a revolution in sewers, water, and the birth of epidemiology—John Snow’s map, Joseph Bazalgette’s pipelines, and the first international health rules. Tuberculosis then becomes the mirror of the Industrial Age, revealing how housing, wages, sunlight, and stigma shape a “social disease,” and how sanatoria, X‑rays, and later antibiotics changed fate without erasing inequality.

  The Claudius Novels - I Claudius...

  The Claudius Novels includes Robert Graves’ best known historical novels, I, Claudius and Claudius the God. 
  In I, Claudius, Robert Graves begins the story of the limping, stammering young man who is suddenly thrust onto the throne after the death of Caligula.
  Once a rather bookish young man with a limp and a stammer, a man who spent most of his time trying to stay away from the danger and risk of the line of ascension, Claudius seemed an unlikely candidate for Emperor. Yet, on the death of Caligula, Claudius finds himself next in line for the throne, and must stay alive as well as keep control.
  
  Drawing on the histories of Plutarch, Suetonius, and Gaius Cornelius Tacitus, noted historian and classicist Robert Graves tells the story of the much-maligned Emperor Claudius with both skill and compassion. Weaving important themes throughout about the nature of freedom and safety possible in a safety and a monarchy, Graves’ Claudius is both more effective and more tragic than history typically remembers him. A best-selling novel and one of Graves’ most successful, I, Claudius has been adapted to television, film, theatre, and audio.
  
  In Claudius the God, Graves continues the story, detailing Claudius’ 13-year reign and his ultimate downfall. Painting the vivid, tumultuous, and decadent society of ancient Rome with spectacular detail, Robert Graves provides a tale that is both instructive and compelling, and difficult to put down for both casual readers and students of Roman history.
