Free Download The Rise of The Nazi Party: How Hitler Used The Power of Propaganda And Mass Communication to Rise to Power (Audiobook)
English | ISBN: 9798882486951 | 2024 | 2 hours and 33 minutes | M4B@192 kbps | 210 MB
Author: Davis Truman
Narrator: John Sullivan
The Nazi party’s rise to power in Germany during the 1930s is widely attributed to its leaders’ strategic use of propaganda, most notably Adolf Hitler. Propaganda played a significant role in shaping public opinion and manipulating the masses to support the Nazi party’s extremist ideologies, ultimately leading to one of the most catastrophic events in human history – World War II. This rise to power was not a sudden occurrence but a gradual process involving an extensive and sophisticated propaganda campaign targeting various aspects of German society. In this book, we will explore how propaganda was used to fuel the Nazi party’s rise and examine how it gained support from the German people, including through symbols, slogans, and persuasive rhetoric. The consequences of this propaganda-driven rise to power continue to profoundly impact modern-day politics and how we perceive the power of propaganda in shaping public opinion.

Free Download Manisha Sinha, Deepa Samuel (Narrator), "The Rise and Fall of the Second American Republic: Reconstruction, 1860-1920"
English | ASIN: B0CZBSBY4P | 2024 | MP3@64 kbps | ~21:14:00 | 583 MB
A groundbreaking, expansive new account of Reconstruction that fundamentally alters our view of this formative period in American history.
In The Rise and Fall of the Second American Republic, acclaimed historian Manisha Sinha expands our view beyond the accepted temporal and spatial bounds of Reconstruction, which is customarily said to have begun in 1865 with the end of the war, and to have come to a close when the "corrupt bargain" of 1877 put Rutherford B. Hayes in the White House in exchange for the fall of the last southern Reconstruction state governments. Sinha’s startlingly original account opens in 1860 with the election of Abraham Lincoln that triggered the secession of the Deep South states, and takes us all the way to 1920 and the ratification of the Nineteenth Amendment, which granted women the right to vote-and which Sinha calls the "last Reconstruction amendment."
A sweeping narrative that remakes our understanding of perhaps the most consequential period in American history, The Rise and Fall of the Second American Republic shows how the great contest of that age is also the great contest of our age-and serves as a necessary reminder of how young and fragile our democracy truly is.

Author: Marek Kowalkiewicz
Narrator: Stephen Perring
Welcome to the economy of algorithms. It’s here and it’s growing. In the past few years, we have been flooded with examples of impressive technology. Algorithms have been around for hundreds of years, but they have only recently begun to ‘escape’ our understanding. When algorithms perform certain tasks, they’re not just as good as us, they’re becoming infinitely better, and, at the same time, massively more surprising. We are so impressed by what they can do that we give them a lot of agency. But because they are so hard to comprehend, this leads to all kinds of unintended consequences. In the 20th century, things were simple: we had the economy of corporations. In the first two decades of the 21st century, we saw the emergence of the economy of people, otherwise known as the digital economy, enabled by the internet. Now we’re seeing a new economy take shape: the economy of algorithms.
