Silently Seduced, Revised & Updated When Parents Make Their Children Partners


Free Download Silently Seduced, Revised & Updated: When Parents Make Their Children Partners by Kenneth Adams, Craig Jessen, Audible Studios
English | 2013 | ISBN: N/A | ASIN: B00BMT94FA | M4B@64 Kbps | Duration: 4:33 h | 124 Mb
When a parent singles out a child for special privileges and attention, that child is often unaware that the relationship is unhealthy – even incestuous. As adults, these children struggle to feel validated, because while they have not been directly abused, they feel a sense of violation and crossed boundaries – usually done in the name of ‘love’ and ‘caring’. The parent’s love feels more confining than freeing, more demanding than giving, more intrusive than nurturing. Yet these children suffer from what psychologist Kenneth Adams calls The Silent Seduction – because there is nothing loving or caring about a close parent-child relationship that services the needs of the parent rather than the child.
In this revised and updated 20th anniversary edition of his groundbreaking book Silently Seduced, Dr. Adams explains how ‘feeling close’, especially with the opposite-sex parent, is not the source of comfort the image suggests, especially when that child is cheated out of a childhood by being a parent’s surrogate partner. He offers a framework to understand this covert incest and its effect on sexuality, intimacy, and relationships, and how victims can begin the process of recovery.

Seventeen [Audiobook]


Free Download Seventeen (Audiobook)
English | ASIN: B0BYFBBHRZ | 2023 | 8 hours and 42 minutes | M4B@64 kbps | 252 MB
Author: Joe Gibson
Narrator: Luke Thompson

It’s 1992. Like every other seventeen-year-old boy, Joe has one eye on his studies, the other on his social life – smoking, Britpop, girls. He’s looking ahead to a gap year full of travel and adventure before university when his teacher – attractive, mid-thirties – takes an interest in him. It seems like a fantasy come true. For his final two years at school, he is bound to her, a woman twice his age, in an increasingly tangled web of coercion, sex and lies. Their affair, a product of complex grooming and a shocking abuse of authority, is played out in the corridors of one of Britain’s major private schools, under the noses of people who suspected, even knew, but said nothing. Thirty years on, this is Joe’s gripping record of the illicit relationship that dominated his adolescence and dictated the course of his life for seventeen years. With a heady dose of nineties nostalgia and the perfectly captured mood of those final months at school, Joe charts the enduring legacy of deceit and the indelibility of decisions made at seventeen.

English | ASIN: B0CG2MC1HP | 2023 | 7 hours and 3 minutes | M4B@128 kbps | 361 MB
Author: Nicholas Humphrey
Narrator: Michael Langan

The story of a quest to uncover the evolutionary history of consciousness from one of the world’s leading theoretical psychologists. We feel, therefore we are. Conscious sensations ground our sense of self. They are crucial to our idea of ourselves as psychic beings: present, existent, and mattering. But is it only humans who feel this way? Do other animals? Will future machines? Weaving together intellectual adventure and cutting-edge science, Nicholas Humphrey describes in Sentience his quest for answers: from his discovery of blindsight in monkeys and his pioneering work on social intelligence to breakthroughs in the philosophy of mind.

English | ASIN: B0BWGVPSRZ | 2023 | 15 hours and 36 minutes | M4B@64 kbps | 452 MB
Author: Bernie Taupin
Narrator: Bernie Taupin, John Lee

An evocative, clear-eyed, and revealing memoir by Bernie Taupin, the lyrical master and long-time collaborator of Elton John. "I loved writing, I loved chronicling life and every moment I was cogent, sober, or blitzed, I was forever feeding off my surroundings, making copious notes as ammunition for future compositions. . . . The thing is good, bad, or indifferent I never stopped writing, it was as addictive as any drug." This is the memoir music fans have been waiting for. Half of one of the greatest creative partnerships in popular music, Bernie Taupin is the man who wrote the lyrics for Elton John, who conceived the ideas that spawned countless hits, and sold millions and millions of records. Together, they were a duo, a unit, an immovable object. Their extraordinary, half-century-and-counting creative relationship has been chronicled in biopics (like 2019’s Rocketman) and even John’s own autobiography, Me. But Taupin, a famously private person, has kept his own account of their adventures close to his chest, until now.

Resisters How Ordinary Jews Fought Persecution in Hitler’s Germany [Audiobook]


Free Download Resisters: How Ordinary Jews Fought Persecution in Hitler’s Germany (Audiobook)
English | ASIN: B0CGBRTZMK | 2023 | 6 hours and 27 minutes | M4B@128 kbps | 358 MB
Author: Wolf Gruner
Narrator: David Colacci

Drawing on twelve years of research in dozens of archives in Austria, Germany, Israel, and the United States, this book tells the story of five Jewish people-a merchant, a homemaker, a real estate broker, and two teenagers-who bravely resisted persecution and defended themselves in Nazi Germany. These stories have not been told until now, and each case is one of many, as Gruner shows by resurfacing similar accounts of Jewish refusal to accept persecution and violence in Germany and Austria between 1933 and 1943, upending the notion of passive Jews, and expanding the concept of resistance.

Pushout The Criminalization of Black Girls in Schools


Free Download Pushout: The Criminalization of Black Girls in Schools by Monique W. Morris, Kristyl Dawn Tift, Tantor Audio
English | 2016 | ISBN: N/A | ASIN: B01M046D9X | Format: MP3 / Bitrate: 128 Kbps / 8 hours and 54 minutes | 122 Mb
Fifteen-year-old Diamond stopped going to school the day she was expelled for lashing out at peers who constantly harassed and teased her for something everyone on the staff had missed: she was being trafficked for sex. After months on the run, she was arrested and sent to a detention center for violating a court order to attend school. Just 16 percent of female students, Black girls make up more than one-third of all girls with a school-related arrest.
The first trade book to tell these untold stories, Pushout exposes a world of confined potential and supports the growing movement to address the policies, practices, and cultural illiteracy that push countless students out of school and into unhealthy, unstable, and often unsafe futures. For four years, Monique W. Morris chronicled the experiences of Black girls across the country whose intricate lives are misunderstood, highly judged – by teachers, administrators, and the justice system – and degraded by the very institutions charged with helping them flourish. Morris shows how, despite obstacles, Black girls still find ways to breathe remarkable dignity into their lives in classrooms, juvenile facilities, and beyond.
