William Ubagan

Summary

Propaganda and Power: The American Playbook for Global Dominance by William Ubagan takes readers on a critical journey into the intricate world of propaganda and its role in shaping global politics.

21st-Century Virtues - How They...

Lucinda Holdforth

Authenticity. Vulnerability. Humility. Transparency. These are some of the 21st-century virtues proselytised by mindset gurus, paraded (if not practised) by big corporations, and lauded by professionals on LinkedIn. The quest for authenticity, for example, is central to progressive campaigns for greater diversity and inclusion, while our political and business leaders are highest praised if they appear to be humble. But are Australia’s newest virtues fit for purpose?In this provocative book, Lucinda Holdforth questions the new orthodoxy. She suggests that these virtues are not only unhelpfully subjective and self-referential but also, in the absence of broader civic values, fail to serve our democracy. This matters when experience around the world, especially in the United States, shows us that no democracy is guaranteed.Holdforth reminds us that arguments for transparency and authenticity are routinely used by totalitarian regimes to justify ultra-nationalism, artistic censorship and population surveillance. Vulnerability may be a facet of the human condition but that is surely no reason to make it an aspiration. Well-meaning people may talk about the power of ‘my’ truth, but if pushed too far this risks a dissolution of agreed facts and shared reality, breaking down the decision-making processes essential to effective democracy.If we agree that Australia needs confident, rational, optimistic and outward-looking citizens to shape our future, then Holdforth challenges us to reconsider the contemporary virtues shaping our society.

We Philologists

Friedrich Nietzsche

Nietzsche argues that philology is not just an academic discipline, but a way of life that requires a deep appreciation for language and culture. He emphasizes the importance of understanding the historical context of texts, and the need to read them in their original language to fully appreciate their meaning and beauty. "We Philologists" is a passionate and insightful reflection on the value and meaning of philology, and a call to approach the study of language and literature with greater creativity and sensitivity. Read in English, unabridged.

Pandemics Through Time - The...

P Agrawal

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.
