The Universe: A Biography (Audiobook)
English | ASIN: B0BMDWN11W | 2022 | 9 hours and 23 minutes | MP3@64 kbps | 258 MB
Author: Paul Murdin
Narrator: Mike Cooper
The story of our Universe, from its beginning in the first milliseconds of the Big Bang up to our present moment and beyond, told in a gripping narrative by one of the world's leading astronomers. Our knowledge of the Universe is greater than ever thanks to cutting-edge scientific research, as well as a new age of space exploration and discovery, and Paul Murdin has been at the forefront of this inquiry-he was the first person to identify a black hole. In The Universe, Murdin draws on his expertise in the field to explain difficult concepts such as black holes, nebulae, and dark matter and relates them to the most important characters and events in the history of our Universe: powerful explosions, the largest planets, galaxies, and celestial bodies. Structured in a clear, accessible fashion as a "biography" of our Universe, this history begins at the Big Bang and proceeds stage by stage through the story of our cosmos. Full of fascinating details about our own existence, for instance that two-thirds of the atoms in our body are hydrogen atoms formed in the first few minutes of the Big Bang, and that we are a by-product of the manufacture of galaxies and stars, this volume offers a glimpse into the future of our Universe and what it means to us all.

His Masterly Pen: A Biography of Jefferson the Writer (Audiobook)
English | ASIN: B09TWVW383 | 2022 | 24 hours and 4 minutes | M4B@64 kbps | 687 MB
Author: Fred Kaplan
Narrator: Mark Bramhall
As he did for Abraham Lincoln and John Quincy Adams, award-winning biographer Fred Kaplan offers a fresh, illuminating look at the life of Thomas Jefferson and his contributions as a writer. In this unique biography, Fred Kaplan emphasizes Thomas Jefferson's genius with language and his ability to use the power of words to inspire and shape a nation. A man renowned for many talents, writing was one of the major activities of the statemen's life, though much of his best, most influential writing-with the exception of the letters he wrote up to his death, numbering approximately 100,000-was done by 1789, when Jefferson was just 46. All of his works-from his earliest correspondence; his essays and proclamations, including A Summary View of British America, the Declaration of Independence, and Notes on the State of Virginia; his religious and scientific writings; his inaugural addresses; his addresses to Indian nations; and his exchanges with Washington, Madison, Hamilton, John and Abigail Adams, and dear friends such as Maria Cosway-demonstrate his remarkable intelligence, prescient wisdom, and literary flair and reveal the man in all his complex and controversial brilliance.

Folk Music: A Bob Dylan Biography in Seven Songs (Audiobook)
English | ASIN: B0BGMGN674 | 2022 | 7 hours and 37 minutes | MP3@64 kbps | 194 MB
Author: Greil Marcus
Narrator: Ian Porter
Across seven decades, Bob Dylan has been the first singer of American song. As a writer and performer, he has rewritten the national songbook in a way that comes from his own vision and yet can feel as if it belongs to anyone who might listen. In Folk Music, Greil Marcus tells Dylan's story through seven of his most transformative songs. Marcus's point of departure is Dylan's ability to "see myself in others." Like Dylan's songs, this book is a work of implicit patriotism and creative skepticism. It illuminates Dylan's continuing presence and relevance through his empathy-his imaginative identification with other people. This is not only a deeply felt telling of the life and times of Bob Dylan, but a rich history of American folk songs and the new life they were given as Dylan sat down to write his own.

The Hour That Breaks: Gottfried Benn: A Biography By Martin Travers
2015 | 516 Pages | ISBN: 3034310986 | PDF | 4 MB
The Hour That Breaks is the first biography of Gottfried Benn to appear in English. The author of this study charts in impressive detail the complex paths of Benn's life, through the demands of his medical practice and military involvement in two world wars, his brief political advocacy of Hitler and Nazism in 1933, to his final «comeback» in post Second World War Germany. The author also engages with Benn's extensive body of poetry which, inventive, challenging and formally wrought, was the product of mind that was both radical and conservative. The same propensity to invention and transformation also informed Benn's personal and professional life, giving rise to a practice of role-playing and dissimulation that the poet termed a «double life». As Travers shows in this well-written and informative biography, this was a strategy of survival of which Benn, ultimately, was as much the victim as the master. This biography also offers fresh translations of many of Benn's poems, a number of which appear here in English for the first time.
