Sinopse

Under the Bridge: Untold Story Behind the Murder of Reena Virk is a haunting exploration of one of Canada’s most tragic and unsettling crimes. Reena Virk, a fourteen-year-old girl, fell victim to a brutal act of violence at the hands of her peers, forever changing the community of Victoria, British Columbia. This book delves deep into the events leading up to that fateful November night, the horrifying attack beneath the Craigflower Bridge, and the aftermath that sparked a national conversation on bullying, youth violence, and the failures of the systems meant to protect vulnerable teens.
Through meticulous research, eyewitness accounts, and court records, Under the Bridge uncovers the untold aspects of Reena’s story—the toxic peer pressures, the hidden struggles of a young girl trying to find acceptance, and the dark realities of adolescent cruelty that shocked the nation. The book also sheds light on the enduring legacy of Reena’s murder, examining how it challenged societal views on youth crime and spurred reform in anti-bullying laws across the country.
This is not just a true crime story; it is a powerful reflection on humanity’s capacity for both violence and empathy. Under the Bridge invites readers to confront the uncomfortable truths about bullying, peer pressure, and the social dynamics that lead to unspeakable acts, while also honoring the memory of a life tragically cut short.

    The color of one's skin and passport have long dictated the conditions of travel.  For Shahnaz Habib, travel and travel writing have always been complicated pleasures. Habib threads the history of travel with her personal story as a child on family vacations in India, an adult curious about the world, and an immigrant for whom roundtrips are an annual fact of life. Tracing the power dynamics that underlie tourism, this insightful debut parses who gets to travel, and who gets to write about the experience. 
     
     
     
    Threaded through the book are inviting and playful analyses of obvious and not-so-obvious travel artifacts: passports, carousels, bougainvilleas, guidebooks, trains, the idea of wanderlust itself. Together, they tell a subversive history of travel as a Euro-American mode of consumerism—but as any traveler knows, travel is more than that. As an immigrant whose loved ones live across continents, Habib takes a deeply curious and joyful look at a troubled and beloved activity.

    Breaking the Medicine Monopolies is a lawyer's personal narrative of the events that led to the widespread use of low-cost generic drugs and the current drug price crisis. 
     
     
     
    Breaking the Medicine Monopolies is a personal narrative about Alfred Engelberg's fifty years of legal work in the drug industry. He takes you inside the mysterious world of patents to provide a basic understanding of how drug makers have gamed the laws governing brand and generic competition, misused patents to prolong monopolies, and delayed generic competition on old drugs instead of focusing on discovering new ones. In this book, Engelberg provides listeners with an understanding of how the growing use of low-cost generic drugs led to the highest prices in the world for new drugs, and how middlemen in the drug distribution chain have exploited a lack of price transparency in order to earn excessive profits. Breaking the Medicine Monopolies is a must-listen for anyone who wants to understand how ill-considered policy decisions and an inept patent system led to unaffordable prices for new drugs, and what can be done to correct the problem.

    Americans have long been fascinated by the Civil War, marveling at the size of the battles, the leadership of the generals, and the courage of the soldiers. Since the war's start over 150 years ago, the battles have been subjected to endless debate among historians and the generals themselves. The Civil War was the deadliest conflict in American history, and had the two sides realized it would take 4 years and inflict over a million casualties, it might not have been fought. Since it did, however, historians and history buffs alike have been studying and analyzing the biggest battles ever since.  
    	The North managed to have spectacular success jointly coordinating operations between the Army and Navy, thanks in large measure to the leadership of officers like David Farragut and David Dixon Porter. While generals like Ulysses S. Grant and William Tecumseh Sherman received the lion’s share of the credit for Union victories, especially in the Western Theater, naval forces were instrumental in the capture of New Orleans and Vicksburg, as well as at Fort Donelson and Fort Henry. 
    	Porter was recognized throughout the Civil War for his service, even as he was subjected to the kind of politicking that marked the war effort in Washington, and he became just the second man in the history of the U.S. Navy to attain the rank of Admiral. He would also have a distinguished career after the war as he helped reform the Navy. David Dixon Porter: The Life and Legacy of the Distinguished Union Rear Admiral during the Civil War chronicles Porter’s upbringing and how it prepared him for his important service in the Civil War.

    I have created a memoir based narrative road map so that other young women can enjoy their feminity and gain a sense of inner strength while avoiding some of the painful roadblocks, quicksand, and dead ends that many falsely believe are a fact of life. I worked diligently to educate and rebuild myself and I have sifted through the years of workshops, manuscripts, therapists and outlets to highlight the few tools that I find to be the most efficient. 
    In Five Gallons to Empty I share with honesty and vulnerability, my journey from despair and pain to strength and inner fortitude. It is my deepest desire to inspire other young women and to help them avoid the painful, unnecessary, and avoidable trials to which so many fall victim. It primarily approaches the subjects of sex, drugs and confidence. 
    I have invested a tremendous amount of time, money, and emotion into this book. But in the end, it is not about me; it is about serving as a guide to young women. I believe they need one. I believe I am one. If you have taken note lately of their current role models, or if you have a daughter, you may agree that they are in dire need of a stronger voice. I am excited to see this audiobook release and to passionately market it so that young women everywhere can learn from my mistakes and live comfortably, powerfully, and productively.
