English | ISBN: 0750947365 | 2010 | 288 pages | AZW3, EPUB | 405 KB + 698 KB
A history of the "bad girls" of England’s medieval royal dynasties, this book covers the queens who earned themselves the reputation of being somehow notorious. Some of them are well known and have been the subject of biographies-Eleanor of Aquitaine, Emma of Normandy, Isabella of France, and Anne Boleyn, for example-while others have not been written about outside academic journals. The appeal of these notorious queens, apart from their shared taste for witchcraft, murder, adultery, and incest, is that, because they were notorious, they attracted a great deal of attention during their lifetimes. She Wolves reveals much about the role of the medieval queen and the evolution of the role that led, ultimately, to the reign of Elizabeth I, and a new concept of queenship.

On September 25, 1944, Hitler attempted to shore up his faltering forces by creating the Volkssturm or People’s Army. His new draft called into service all remaining able-bodied men, including those whose civilian labor had previously been deemed indispensable. Among the latter was an East Prussian farmer named Hans Thiel, who suddenly found himself on the Eastern front, fighting not to bring glory to the Nazi Party (for which he felt at best a troubled resignation) but to save his country from destruction. With the defeat of the Germans, Thiel was taken prisoner by the advancing Soviet forces.

Free Download Douglas W. Smith, "Yellowstone Wolves: Science and Discovery in the World’s First National Park"
English | ISBN: 022672834X | 2020 | 344 pages | AZW3 | 82 MB
In 2020, it will have been twenty-five years since one of the greatest wildlife conservation and restoration achievements of the twentieth century took place: the reintroduction of wolves to the world’s first national park, Yellowstone. Eradicated after the park was established, then absent for seventy years, these iconic carnivores returned to Yellowstone in 1995 when the US government reversed its century-old policy of extermination and-despite some political and cultural opposition-began the reintroduction of forty-one wild wolves from Canada and northwest Montana. In the intervening decades, scientists have studied their myriad behaviors, from predation to mating to wolf pup play, building a one-of-a-kind field study that has both allowed us to witness how the arrival of top predators can change an entire ecosystem and provided a critical window into impacts on prey, pack composition, and much else.

Free Download The Wolves of K Street: The Secret History of How Big Money Took Over Big Government (Audiobook)
English | ASIN: B0CLHHKWXK | 2024 | 19 hours and 54 minutes | MP3@64 kbps | 546 MB
Author: Brody Mullins, Luke Mullins
Narrator: Jacques Roy
Two veteran investigative journalists trace the rise of the modern lobbying industry through the three dynasties-one Republican, two Democratic-that have enabled corporate interests to infiltrate American politics and undermine our democracy. On K Street, a few blocks from the White House, you’ll find the offices of the most powerful men in Washington. In the 1970s, the city’s center of gravity began to shift away from elected officials in big marble buildings to a handful of savvy, handsomely paid operators who didn’t answer to any fixed constituency. A dazzling and infuriating portrait of fifty years of corporate influence in Washington, The Wolves of K Street is a masterpiece of narrative nonfiction-irresistibly dramatic, spectacularly timely, explosive in its revelations, and absolutely impossible to put down.

Free Download Talking Wolves: Thomas Hobbes on the Language of Politics and the Politics of Language By Anat Biletzki (auth.)
1997 | 212 Pages | ISBN: 9048148014 | PDF | 6 MB
Talking Wolves advances an analysis of Hobbes which takes language seriously (as seriously as Hobbes took it). It presents a reading of Hobbes’s view of society at large, and political society in particular, through a comprehensive discussion based on, and intimately linked to, his philosophy of language. This philosophy, in turn, is seen in a new light as being a pragmatic theory of language in use, language in action.
