  • Just Health - Treating Structural Racism to Heal America - cover

    Just Health - Treating...

    With the rise of the Movement for Black Lives and the feverish calls for Medicare for All, the public spotlight on racial inequality and access to healthcare has never been brighter. The rise of COVID-19 and its disproportionate effects on people of color has especially made clear how the color of one's skin is directly related to the quality of care (or lack thereof) a person receives, and the disastrous health outcomes Americans suffer as a result of racism and an unjust healthcare system. 
     
     
     
    Just Health examines how deep structural racism embedded in the fabric of American society leads to worse health outcomes and lower life expectancy for people of color. By presenting evidence of discrimination in housing, education, employment, and the criminal justice system, Dayna Bowen Matthew shows how racial inequality pervades American society and the multitude of ways that this undermines the health of minority populations. The author provides a clear path forward for overcoming these massive barriers to health and ensuring that everyone has an equal opportunity to be healthy. 
     
     
     
    A compelling and essential listen, Just Health helps us to understand how racial inequality damages the health of our minority communities and explains what we can do to fight back.

  • Preventing Nuclear Annihilation - Addresses by Ronald Reagan for the Strategic Defense Initiative - cover

    Preventing Nuclear Annihilation...

    On March 23, 1983, President Ronald Reagan gave an address to the nation from the Oval Office challenging “the scientific community … to turn their great talents … to the cause of mankind and world peace, [and] to give us the means of rendering … nuclear weapons impotent and obsolete.” Reagan’s Strategic Defense Initiative to protect America from nuclear annihilation was derided by critics as an unworkable Star Wars program, and the Clinton Administration ended the Strategic Defense Initiative in 1993. There is no effective system in place today to protect the American population from incoming missiles from an expanding list of countries with nuclear capabilities. 
    On April 13, 2024, Iran launched, according to Wikipedia, “around 170 drones, over 30 cruise missiles, and more than 120 ballistic missiles toward Israel”. Israel and a coalition of partners, again according to Wikipedia, “destroyed 99 percent of the incoming weapons, most before they reached Israeli airspace.” Damage from the attack was minor. While Israel is protected by an Iron Dome, the United States has no such protection. 
    This audiobook includes 4 speeches by President Reagan: His address introducing the Strategic Defense Initiative in 1983, his address to the European Parliament in Strasbourg, France in 1985, his address on national security in 1986, and his address on the Soviet-U.S. Summit in 1987.

    This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.   
    What if your thoughts could send a text, learn a language, or relive a memory in perfect detail—all without lifting a finger? 
    Neuralink Decoded is a mind-expanding journey into the next era of human evolution, where science fiction meets real-world innovation. Written in Samantha Blake’s signature style—clear, compelling, and emotionally gripping—this book takes readers beyond the headlines and hype to explore how brain-computer interfaces are reshaping medicine, identity, work, and the future of the human race. 
    This isn’t just about Elon Musk or a coin-sized chip. It’s about what comes after. What happens when the brain becomes programmable? When your mind can connect directly to the internet—or to another human? 
    From the early roots of Neuralink’s experimental technology to the awe-inspiring possibilities of enhanced cognition, digital telepathy, and memory backups, this book offers a front-row seat to a revolution that will challenge everything we know about thought, privacy, and being alive. 
    Through human stories, real science, and bold predictions, Neuralink Decoded explores how this breakthrough could help the paralyzed walk again, treat disorders like Parkinson’s and depression, and eventually allow us to transcend biology altogether. But it also wrestles with the big questions: Who owns your thoughts? Can consciousness be hacked? And what does it mean to stay human in a world where machines may understand your mind better than you do? 
    Whether you're a curious reader, a tech enthusiast, or someone wondering how to prepare for a future that’s arriving faster than expected, this book is your roadmap. 
    This is not just the story of a chip. It’s the story of us—and what we’re about to become.
