L’opera "The Wall" dei Pink Floyd non è solo un film, né tantomeno semplice musica pop. I fan conoscono bene le tante sfaccettature nella poetica di Roger Waters (il writer principale) e il suo gusto per le tematiche di tipo esistenziale, ma per molti "The Wall" è rimasto sempre un mistero troppo complesso da approfondire: perché una rockstar drogata dovrebbe diventare un dittatore e che c’entra tutto questo con un padre morto in guerra, una madre iperprotettiva, un maestro di scuola troppo zelante nel voler formare le giovani menti e poi un matrimonio fallito? Cosa c’è dietro la "visione fugace" di Comfortably Numb e perché il maestro ripete sempre ai suoi alunni che non possono avere il dolce se non mangiano la carne?

Author: Lance T. Stewart
Narrator: Jim D. Johnston
The Civil War: even today, it is arguably the most divisive subject in American history. Why did the southern states secede from the Union? What did the north hope to achieve by fighting against the south? Was Abraham Lincoln really an abolitionist? Why is Ulysses S. Grant the most famous Union general, when he didn’t take command of all the Union armies until near the very end of the war? How did Robert E. Lee end up having to deal with issues left unresolved by George Washington’s will, and was he a hero or a traitor?

Free Download Harry V. Jaffa, "Crisis of the Strauss Divided: Essays on Leo Strauss and Straussianism, East and West"
English | 2012 | pages: 290 | ISBN: 1442217111 | EPUB | 7,4 mb
"Leo Strauss (1899-1973) was the greatest mind in political philosophy in the twentieth century, and possibly in other centuries as well. That, I am well aware, is a judgment I share with very few, if any." So writes Harry V. Jaffa in his epilogue to this volume. Including an extensive unpublished essay entitled "Straussian Geography: A Memoir and Commentary," Crisis of the Strauss Divided brings together a collection of Jaffa’s published arguments defending and explaining that judgment, written during the 40 years since Strauss’s death. The volume includes arguments of those who have disagreed with Jaffa about Strauss’s teaching and about the nature of political philosophy. These wide ranging exchanges explore many of the great themes of political philosophy and, in particular, the implications of Strauss’s thinking for America and modern civilization.

Free Download Matt Vidal, Tom Beyer (Narrator), "Management Divided: Contradictions of Labor Management"
English | ASIN: B0B3PG2933 | 2022 | M4B@64 kbps | ~16:16:00 | 474 MB
One of the central dynamics shaping organizations today is a contradiction managers face between ensuring workforce discipline and harnessing worker creativity. In manufacturing, global best practice includes lean production with substantive worker empowerment; cross-training in enlarged tasks and inclusion in problem solving and decision making. Yet, many managers instead face these conflicting pressures by training workers in narrow tasks and using them exclusively for manual labor.
In this richly evidenced study of American manufacturing, Matt Vidal presents a synthetic theory called "organizational political economy," integrating concepts from organization theory into a classical marxist framework. This theory emphasizes how contradictory developments-conflicting pressures and competing logics of labor management-lead management to be divided. Some managers adopt best practice by substantively empowering their workforce while others settle for good enough. Capitalist management is increasingly a source of organizational inefficiency. This argument is not limited to manufacturing. Managers experience contradictory pressures-for standardization versus discretion, deskilling versus upskilling-in a wide range of occupations, including education, healthcare, software development, and many more.

English | ASIN: B08WHY7YZ9 | 2023 | 9 hours and 38 minutes | M4B@64 kbps | 282 MB
Author: Dan Senor, Saul Singer
Narrator: Dan Senor
How has a small nation of 9 million people, forced to fight for its existence and security since its founding and riven by ethnic, religious, and economic divides, proven resistant to so many of the societal ills plaguing other wealthy democracies? Why do Israelis have among the world’s highest life expectancies and lowest rates of "deaths of despair" from suicide and substance abuse? Why is Israel’s population young and growing while all other wealthy democracies are aging and shrinking? How can it be that Israel, according to a United Nations ranking, is the fourth happiest nation in the world? Why do Israelis tend to look to the future with hope, optimism, and purpose while the rest of the West struggles with an epidemic of loneliness, teen depression, and social decline? Dan Senor and Saul Singer, the writers behind the international bestseller Start-Up Nation, have long been students of the global innovation race. But as they spent time with Israel’s entrepreneurs and political leaders, soldiers and students, scientists and activists, ultra-Orthodox Jews, Tel Aviv techies, and Israeli Arabs, they realized that they had missed what really sets Israel apart.
