Conquering the Electron offers listeners a true and engaging history of the world of electronics, beginning with the discoveries of static electricity and magnetism and ending with the creation of the smartphone and the iPad.

Exploring the combination of genius, infighting, and luck that powered the creation of today’s electronic age, Conquering the Electron debunks the hero worship so often plaguing the stories of great advances. Want to know how AT&T’s Bell Labs developed semiconductor technology – and how its leading scientists almost came to blows in the process? Want to understand how radio and television work – and why RCA drove their inventors to financial ruin and early graves? Conquering the Electron offers these stories and more, presenting each revolutionary technological advance right alongside blow-by-blow personal battles that all too often took place.

Free Download Confronting Capitalism: How the World Works and How to Change It (Audiobook)
English | ASIN: B0CG2MPJLX | 2023 | 3 hours and 58 minutes | M4B@128 kbps | 221 MB
Author: Vivek Chibber
Narrator: Shawn K. Jain
Why is our society so unequal? Why, despite their small numbers, do the rich dominate policy and politics even in democratic countries? Why is it so difficult for working people to organize around common interests? How do we begin to build a more equal and democratic society? Vivek Chibber provides a clear and accessible map of how capitalism works, how it limits the power of working and oppressed people, and how to overcome those limits. The capitalist economy generates incredible wealth but also injustice. Those who own the factories, hotels, and farms always have an advantage over the people who rely on that ownership class for their livelihoods.

Free Download Conflict: The History of the Korean War, 1950-1953 by Robert Leckie, David Rapkin, Audible Studios
English | 2013 | ISBN: N/A | ASIN: B00GRJN6P4 | M4B@64 Kbps | Duration: 14:26 h | 393 Mb
In June 1950 Communist forces poured across the 38th Parallel (the arbitrary, militarily indefensible line of latitude separating the Communist North from the independent Republic of Korea) to unite the country by force. Three bloody, bitter years of fighting ensued during which the seesawing fortunes of this frustrating war thwarted North Korea’s ambitions while treating the ill-equipped, overconfident UN peacekeeping forces, mostly Americans, no less harshly. Conflict examines the war in all its military, political, and human dimensions: the battles at Pusan Perimeter, at Inchon, at Chosin Reservoir, at Heartbreak Ridge; significant figures like Syngman Rhee, Kim Il Sung, Ridgway, MacArthur, and Truman; controversies like MacArthur’s dismissal, the difficulties of P.O.W. exchanges, and charges of brainwashing and germ warfare; as well as penetrating analyses of the performance of the American soldier, and the war’s effect on the U.S. military and our national psyche. As such, Conflict stands as an unsurpassed, vivid contribution to history.
