Free Download Smoke and Ashes: A Writer’s Journey Through Opium’s Hidden Histories (Audiobook)
English | ASIN: B0CDCQZLB3 | 2023 | 12 hours and 35 minutes | M4B@128 kbps | 686 MB
Author: Amitav Ghosh
Narrator: Ranjit Madgavkar
When Amitav Ghosh began his research for the Ibis Trilogy some twenty years ago, he was startled to find how the lives of the nineteenth-century sailors and soldiers he wrote of were dictated not only by the currents of the Indian Ocean, but also by a precious commodity carried in enormous quantities on those currents: opium. Most surprising of all was the discovery that his own identity and family history were swept up in the story. Smoke and Ashes is at once a travelogue, a memoir and an excursion into history, both economic and cultural. Ghosh traces the transformative effect the opium trade had on Britain, India and China, as well as on the world at large.

First as a music writer and then as an editor, promoter, manager, broadcaster, publicist and author, Stuart Coupe has experienced the giddy highs and crushing lows of a life lived in the creative fast lane. Shake Some Action is your backstage pass to his remarkable story, from starting his first magazine at the age of fourteen to hoovering heroic amounts of cocaine before interviewing Boy Dylan (who asked him where he got his drugs from). From getting garbage bags full of fan (and hate) mail as the music critic for the teen magazine phenomenon Dolly to managing the Hoodoo Gurus and Paul Kelly – he has been at the centre of Australian cultural life for over four decades. This is a book about fandom. About excitement. About some very bad behaviour. About writing. About talking. About being driven. About loving music and words and trying to explain that love to others – and having a myriad of adventures and encounters in the process. This is the wild life and times of the a man who has never anything by halves. Get ready to kick out the jams!

Free Download Semut: The Untold Story of a Secret Australian Operation in WWII Borneo by Christine Helliwell, Dorje Swallow, Penguin Random House Australia Audio
English | 2012 | ISBN: N/A | ASIN: B0933HBG3R | MP3@128 Kbps | Duration: 13:53 h | 795 Mb
March 1945. A handful of very young Allied operatives are parachuted into the remote jungled heart of the Japanese-occupied island of Borneo, east of Singapore, there to recruit the island’s Indigenous Dayak peoples to fight the Japanese. Yet most speak next to no Borneo languages and know little about Dayaks, other than that they were once headhunters who might kill them on arrival. For their part, some Dayaks have never before seen a white face.
This is the story of Operation Semut, an Australian secret military operation launched by the organisation popularly known as Z Special Unit in the final months of WWII. Anthropologist Christine Helliwell has called on her years of first-hand knowledge of Borneo, interviewed more than 100 Dayak people and all the remaining Semut operatives, and consulted thousands of military and other documents to piece together this astonishing story. Focusing on two of Borneo’s great rivers – the Baram and Rejang – the book provides a detailed military history of Semut II’s and Semut III’s brutal guerrilla campaign against the Japanese and reveals the decisive but long-overlooked Dayak role in the operation.

Free Download Seeing Others: How Recognition Works-and How It Can Heal a Divided World (Audiobook)
English | ASIN: B0BW22RVKF | 2023 | 5 hours and 56 minutes | M4B@128 kbps | 332 MB
Author: Michèle Lamont
Narrator: Jane Oppenheimer
Acclaimed Harvard sociologist makes the case for reexamining what we value to prioritize recognition-the quest for respect-in an age that has been defined by growing inequality and the obsolescence of the American dream. In this capstone work, Michèle Lamont unpacks the power of recognition-rendering others as visible and valued-by drawing on nearly forty years of research and new interviews with young adults, and with cultural icons and change agents who intentionally practice recognition-from Nikole Hannah Jones and Cornel West to Michael Schur and Roxane Gay. She shows how new narratives are essential for everyone to feel respect and assert their dignity. Decades of neoliberalism have negatively impacted our sense of self-worth, up and down the income ladder, just as the American dream has become out of reach for most people.
