Summary:
The worst idea in history is back!
Communism has wrecked national economies, enslaved whole peoples, and killed more than a hundred million men and women. Whats not to like?
Too many young Americans are supporting communism. Millennials prefer socialism to capitalism, and 25 percent have a positive view of Lenin. One in four Americans believe that George W. Bush killed more people than Joseph Stalin. And 69 percent of Millennials would vote for a socialist for president.
They ought to know better. Communism is the most dangerous idea in world history, producing dire poverty, repression, and carnage wherever it has been tried. And no wonderbecause communism flatly denies morality, human nature, and basic facts. But its always going to be different this time.
Renowned scholar and bestselling author Paul Kengor unmasks communism, exposing its blood-drenched history and the strange sway it has long exercised over much of American media and education. He reveals:
Stalin alone killed six times as many people as HitlerThe Khmer Rouge slaughtered more than a third of the population of CambodiaCommunists in Eastern Europe and worldwide tortured ChristiansCommunist Party USA (CPUSA) was directly controlled by the SovietsObamas CIA director voted for the CPUSA candidate for president in 1980Unrepentant sixties-era communists are educating American teachers todayThe Politically Incorrect Guide to Communism debunks the worlds worst ideology, sounds the alarm about its disturbing popular resurgence, and arms you with facts you need to refute its appeal.

Title: Homing Instincts: Early Motherhood on a Midwestern Farm
Author: Sarah Menkedick
Narrator: Sarah Menkedick
Format: Unabridged
Length: 07:12:39
Language: English
Release date: 05-02-17
Publisher: Blackstone Audiobooks
Genres: Biography & Memoir, Health & Wellness, Science & Technology, Animals & Nature, Parenting
Summary:
Sarah Menkedick spent her twenties trekking alone across South America, teaching English to recalcitrant teenagers on Réunion Island, picking grapes in France and camping on the Mongolian grasslands; for her, meaning and purpose were to be found on the road, in flight from the ordinary. Yet the biggest and most transformative adventure of her life might be one she never anticipated: at thirty-one, she moves into a tiny nineteenth-century cabin on her familys Ohio farm, and begins the journey into motherhood.
In eight vivid and boldly questioning essays, Menkedick explores the luminous, disorienting time just before and after becoming a mother. As she reacquaints herself with the subtle landscapes of the Midwest, and adjusts to the often surprising physicality of pregnancy, she ruminates on what this new stage of life means for her long-held concepts of self, settling, and creative fulfillment. In Millie, Mildred, Grandma Menkedick, she considers the nature of story through the life of her tough German grandmother, who raised two boys as a single mother in the 1950s and then spent her seventies traveling the world with her best friend Marge; in Motherland, on a trip back to Oaxaca, Mexico to visit her husbands family, she finally embraces her Midwestern roots; in The Milk Cave, she discovers in breastfeeding a new appreciation for the spiritual and artistic potential of boredom; and in The Lake, she revisits her childhood with her father, whose relentless optimism and mystical streak she sees anew once she has a child of her own.
A story of a traveler come home to the farm; of becoming a mother in spite of reservations and doubt; and of learning to appreciate the power and beauty of the quotidian, Homing Instincts speaks to the deepest concerns and hopes of a generation.

Title: Civil Wars: A History in Ideas
Author: David Armitage
Narrator: Derek Perkins
Format: Unabridged
Length: 07:19:00
Language: English
Release date: 02-07-17
Publisher: Blackstone Audiobooks
Genres: History, Military
Summary:
A highly original history, tracing the least understood and most intractable form of organized human aggression from ancient Rome through the centuries to the present day.
We think we know civil war when we see it. Yet ideas of what it is, and what it isnt, have a long and contested history, from its fraught origins in republican Rome to debates in early modern Europe down to the present day. Defining the term is an acutely political act: whether a war is civil often depends on whether one is a ruler or a rebel, victor or vanquished, participant or foreigner. Likewise, calling any particular conflict a civil war can shape its outcome by determining whether other nations choose to get involved or stand aside. So it has been in our own nations history: from the American Revolution (commonly referred to as a civil war while it was waged) to the US Civil War to the Second Gulf Warin each, pivotal decisions on the part of outside powers turned on precisely such shifts of perspective.
In Civil Wars, the eminent historian David Armitage offers an invaluable illumination of this vexing subject. By touching on certain signal instances in Western thoughtthe poetry of Lucan, the political theory of Thomas Hobbes, the so-called Lieber Code produced during our own civil war, to name a fewhe creates a genealogy of our sometimes contradictory notions about civil war. The result has much to tell us about how this intellectual inheritance has shaped the political fortunes of our uneasy world and how we might think about this form of violence in the future.
From the Balkans to Rwanda, Afghanistan, Iraq, South Sudan, and most recently Syria, civil conflict has exploded of late. Across the West, politics itself looks ever more like civil war by other means. At such a charged time, this books unique perspective on the origins and dynamics of a phenomenon still shaping our world is sure to prove indispensable in the ongoing effort to grapple with what has come to seem an eternal problem.

Format: Unabridged
Length: 12:56:00
Language: English
Release date: 02-07-17
Publisher: Blackstone Audiobooks
Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Biography & Memoir, Prayer, Religious & Inspirational, Women
Summary:
This is the beautifully written and heartfelt memoir of a young woman from Dallas, Texas, wrestling with the evangelical Christianity of her childhood by examining the one item from it that she is still attached to, the daily devotional My Utmost for His Highest by Oswald Chambers.
Raised in an evangelical household by her beloved grandmother and mother, Macy Halford eventually leaves Dallas for a career in journalism in New York City. She has only the devotional to remind her of her religious pastand learns quickly that, though the book sells nearly a million copies a year, no one she knows there has heard of it.
Finally, excavating her spiky relations with her upbringing, she quits her coveted job at the New Yorker in order to look more deeply into the background of the devotionalwith its daily selection from the sermons and writings of the Scottish evangelical preacher Oswald Chamberswrestling with who Chambers really was, what ideas informed his teaching and beliefs, and why the book means so much to her.
Halford interweaves her own story with that of the Chambers family: Oswald, who died ministering to British soldiers in Egypt in World War I, and his devoted wife, who spent her life publishing his speeches, sermons, and books. The result is that Halford has penned a captivating and candid memoir about what it means to be a Christian, a reader, and a seeker in the twenty-first century.
