English | ASIN: B0CKWHXX2C | 2024 | 14 hours and 10 minutes | MP3@64 kbps | 389 MB
Author: James Bradley
Narrator: Stephen James King
In this thrilling work-a blend of history, science, nature writing, and environmentalism-acclaimed writer James Bradley plunges into the unknown to explore the deepest recesses of the natural world. Seventy-one percent of the earth’s surface is ocean. These waters created, shaped, and continue to sustain not just human life, but all life on Planet Earth, and perhaps beyond it. They serve as the stage for our cultural history-driving human development from evolution through exploration, colonialism, and the modern era of global leisure and trade. They are also the harbingers of the future-much of life on Earth cannot survive if sea levels are too low or too high, temperatures too cold or too warm. Our oceans are vast spaces of immense wonder and beauty, and our relationship to them is innate and awe inspired.

Author and Narrator: David Damrosch
A transporting and illuminating voyage around the globe, through classic and modern literary works that are in conversation with one another and with the world around them
Inspired by Jules Verne’s hero Phileas Fogg, David Damrosch, chair of Harvard University’s department of comparative literature and founder of Harvard’s Institute for World Literature, set out to counter a pandemic’s restrictions on travel by exploring 80 exceptional books from around the globe. Following a literary itinerary from London to Venice, Tehran, and points beyond, and via authors from Woolf and Dante to Nobel Prize winners Orhan Pamuk, Wole Soyinka, Mo Yan, and Olga Tokarczuk, he explores how these works have shaped our idea of the world, and the ways in which the world bleeds into literature.

He was determined to continue heading east to Afghanistan in search of his ultimate goal: to reach the end of the world.

Free Download Rita Abrahamsen, "World of the Right: Radical Conservatism and Global Order"
English | ISBN: 1009516086 | 2024 | 220 pages | PDF | 830 KB
The contemporary radical Right is not merely a series of nationalist projects but a global phenomenon. This book shows how radical conservative thinkers have developed long-term counter-hegemonic strategies that challenge prevailing social and political orders both nationally and internationally. At the heart of this ideological project is a critique of liberal globalisation that seeks to mobilise transversal alliances against a common enemy: the ‘New Class’ of global managerial elites who are accused of undermining national sovereignty, traditional values, and cultures. ‘World of the Right’ argues that while the radical Right is far from a unified political movement, its calls for sovereignty, civilisational orders, and multipolarity enable complex, strategic convergences with illiberal states such as China and Russia, as well as states and people in the Global South. The potential consequences for the future of the liberal world order are profound and wide-ranging.

Free Download Susan Park, "World Bank Group interactions with environmentalists: Changing international organisation identities"
English | 2010 | ISBN: 0719079470 | EPUB | pages: 304 | 0.4 mb
This book shows how environmentalists have shaped the world’s largest multilateral development lender, investment financier and political risk insurer to take up sustainable development. The book challenges an emerging consensus over international organisational change to argue that international organisations (IOs) are influenced by their social structure and may change their practices to reflect previously antithetical norms such as sustainable development.
