    What's Next: A Backstage Pass to The West Wing, Its Cast and Crew, and Its Enduring Legacy of Service by Melissa Fitzgerald, Mary Mccormack

    Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/666342 to listen full audiobooks. Title: What's Next: A Backstage Pass to The West Wing, Its Cast and Crew, and Its Enduring Legacy of Service Author: Melissa Fitzgerald, Mary Mccormack Narrator: Mary Mccormack, Melissa Fitzgerald Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 16 hours 12 minutes Release date: August 13, 2024 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: A behind-the-scenes look into the creation and legacy of The West Wing as told by cast members Melissa Fitzgerald and Mary McCormack, with compelling insights from cast and crew exploring what made the show what it was and how its impassioned commitment to service has made the series and relationships behind it endure. Step back inside the world of President Jed Bartlet’s Oval Office with Fitzgerald and McCormack as they reunite the West Wing cast and crew in a lively and colorful “backstage pass” to the timeless series. This intimate, in-depth reflection reveals how The West Wing was conceived, and spotlights the army of people it took to produce it, the lifelong friendships it forged, and the service it inspired.    From cast member origin stories to the collective cathartic farewell on the show’s final night of filming, What’s Next will delight readers with on-set and off-camera anecdotes that even West Wing superfans have never heard. Meanwhile, a deeper analysis of the show’s legacy through American culture, service, government, and civic life underscores how the series envisaged an American politics of decency and honor, creating an aspirational White House beyond the bounds of fictional television.    What’s Next revisits beloved episodes with fresh, untold commentary; compiles poignant and hilarious stories from the show’s production; highlights initiatives supported by the cast, crew, and creators; and makes a powerful case for competent, empathetic leadership, hope, and optimism for whatever lies ahead. * This audiobook edition has been adapted for the audio format, and the content deviates slightly from the printed version. It includes a downloadable PDF that contains a list of organizations important to the cast and crew and behind the scenes photos and images from The West Wing.

    Beyond Policing by Philip V. Mcharris

    Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/665584 to listen full audiobooks. Title: Beyond Policing Author: Philip V. Mcharris Narrator: Philip V. Mcharris Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 10 hours 36 minutes Release date: July 30, 2024 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: What would happen if policing disappeared? Would we be safe? This book imagines a world without police. It’s evident that policing is a problem. But what is the way best forward? In Beyond Policing, distinguished scholar and writer Philip V. McHarris reimagines the world without police to find answers and reveal how we can make police departments obsolete. Beyond Policing tackles thorny issues with evidence, including data and personal stories, to uncover the weight of policing on people and communities and the patterns that prove police reform only leads to more policing. McHarris challenges us to envision a future where safety is not synonymous with policing but is built on the foundation of community support and preventive measures. He explores innovative community-based safety models (like community mediators and violence interrupters), the decriminalization of driving offenses, and the creation of nonpolice crisis response teams. McHarris also outlines strategies for responding to conflict and harm in ways that transform the conditions that give rise to the issues. He asks us to imagine a world where people thrive without the shadow of inequality, where our approach to safety is a collective achievement. McHarris writes, “What if our response to crisis wasn’t about control but about care? How can we create conditions where safety is a shared responsibility? How can we design justice so that no community is routinely oppressed? Envisioning such a world isn’t just a daydream; it’s the first step toward building a society where violence and fear no longer dictate our lives.” Transformative and forward thinking, Beyond Policing provides a blueprint for a brighter, safer world. McHarris’s vision is clear: we must dare to move beyond policing and foster a society where everyone has the resources to thrive and feel safe.

Title: The Invisible Doctrine: The Secret History of Neoliberalism (& How It Came To Control Your Life) Author: Peter Hutchison, George Monbiot Narrator: George Monbiot Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 4 hours 29 minutes Release date: May 16, 2024 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 4.33 of Total 3 Ratings of Narrator: 5 of Total 2 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: Brought to you by Penguin. We live under an ideology that preys on every aspect of our lives: our education and our jobs; our healthcare and our leisure; our relationships and our mental wellbeing; even the planet we inhabit – the very air we breathe. So pervasive has it become that, for most people, it has no name. It seems unavoidable, like a natural law. But trace it back to its roots, and we discover that it is neither inevitable nor immutable. It was conceived, propagated, and then concealed by the powerful few. It is time to bring it into the light - and, in doing so, to find an alternative worth fighting for. Neoliberalism. Do you know what it is?

    Rebellion: How Antiliberalism Is Tearing America Apart Again by Robert Kagan

    Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/661429 to listen full audiobooks. Title: Rebellion: How Antiliberalism Is Tearing America Apart Again Author: Robert Kagan Narrator: Jason Culp Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 5 hours 55 minutes Release date: May 2, 2024 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: Brought to you by Penguin. A chilling and clear-eyed warning about the threats to our democracy posed by the increasing radicalization of the Republican Party, from a leading historian and intellectual The 2024 election could be the last free election held in a unified America. So warns Robert Kagan in this brilliant and terrifying analysis of the perilous state of democracy in the United States today. If Donald Trump loses the upcoming election, as he did in 2020, but refuses to accept the result, as he also did in the last election, he is likely to call on his millions of followers to repudiate the election results. It will be a short step from there to Republican-dominated states rejecting the legitimacy of the federal government and effectively seceding. The United States at that point will cease to be united, with grave consequences for both Americans and the world. In Rebellion, Kagan dives deeper than the op-eds and think pieces to explore the historical forces that have brought us to this moment—in particular the long history of opposition to liberalism, and to government, that has shaped America’s character from the time of the Revolution to today. Trump’s unique capacity to tap into that tradition of dissent and circumvent the American system has brought us to the edge of dissolution—not for the first time in our history but possibly the last. This is an elegant and deeply informed synthesis of history, contemporary politics, and ideas that sheds light on this crucial moment. 'The transformation of the US into an autocracy has advanced. By 2024, it might be irreversible [and] will change almost everything in the world. Nobody has outlined this danger more compellingly than Robert Kagan.' - Martin Wolf, Financial Times ©2024 Robert Kagan (P) 2024 Penguin Audio

    Adventures in Democracy: The Turbulent World of People Power by Erica Benner

    Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/667426 to listen full audiobooks. Title: Adventures in Democracy: The Turbulent World of People Power Author: Erica Benner Narrator: Louise Brealey Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 8 hours 36 minutes Release date: February 8, 2024 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: Brought to you by Penguin. In a hyper-competitive world obsessed with rankings, super-wealth and greatness, how can we live up to democratic ideals of equality? Erica Benner has spent a lifetime thinking about these questions from different angles in different countries - from post-war Japan, where democracy was imposed on a defeated country, to post-communist Poland, with sudden gaps of wealth and security, and the US and South Africa with their legacies of slavery and racism. Adventures in Democracy draws on her experiences and the deep history of democracies - in ancient Rome and Athens, the American and French revolutions and Renaissance Florence - to offer an unflinching portrait of modern democracy. To salvage democratic institutions and ideals, Benner argues, we need to pay more attention to inequalities and struggles for power among citizens. Probing myths of heroic triumph over tyranny and inexorable progress towards equality, she reveals the vulnerabilities of people power, inviting us to consider why democracy is worth fighting for and the role each citizen must play. ©2024 Erica Benner (P)2024 Penguin Audio

    Thoughts From the Ice-Drinker's Studio: Essays on China and the World by Liang Qichao

    Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/659645 to listen full audiobooks. Title: Thoughts From the Ice-Drinker's Studio: Essays on China and the World Author: Liang Qichao Narrator: Daniel York Loh Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 9 hours 12 minutes Release date: October 26, 2023 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: Brought to you by Penguin. 'A country does not become corrupt and weak overnight. Rather, we are now reaping the evil harvest of what previous generations sowed.' The power, anger and fluency of Liang Qichao's writings make him one of the towering figures in modern Chinese literature. He saw his great, almost unmanageable task as an attempt to write China into the new era - to provide an ancient country, devastated by civil war and foreign predators, with the intellectual equipment to renew itself. Liang said that he wrote from an 'ice-drinker's studio', implying that underneath his dispassionate, disabused and rational tone lay an ardour and passion which only ice could cool. China could only recover through a clear-sighted, informed understanding of its enemies - and by engaging in a thorough-going self-critique. Liang did not propose aping the West but taking only what China needed to 'renew the people' and create 'new citizens'. Then China would be able to expel its invaders, reform its society and become a great power once more. This selection of pieces shows Liang's extraordinary range and the burning sense of mission which drove him on, attempting to galvanize and refresh an entire nation. Blending together Confucianism, Buddhism and the Western Enlightenment, Liang's ideas about nation, democracy, and morality had a profound impact on Chinese visions of the political order, though the China that eventually emerged from the further disasters of the 1930s and 1940s would be a very different one. ©2023 LLiang Qichao (P)2023 Penguin Audio

    Humanizing Immigration: How to Transform Our Racist and Unjust System by Bill Ong Hing

    Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/659209 to listen full audiobooks. Title: Humanizing Immigration: How to Transform Our Racist and Unjust System Author: Bill Ong Hing Narrator: Rob Brinkmann Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 9 hours 31 minutes Release date: October 24, 2023 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: “Incisive and compelling, reflecting the painful wisdom and knowledge that Bill Ong Hing has accrued over the course of fifty years . . . ”—Michelle Alexander, author of The New Jim Crow First book to argue that immigrant and refugee rights are part of the fight for racial justice; offers a humanitarian approach to reform and abolition Representing non-citizens caught up in what he calls the immigration and enforcement “meat grinder”, Bill Ong Hing witnessed their trauma, arriving at this conclusion: migrants should have the right to free movement across borders—and the right to live free of harassment over immigration status. He cites examples of racial injustices endemic in immigration law and enforcement, from historic courtroom cases to the recent treatment of Haitian migrants. Hing includes histories of Mexican immigration, African migration and the Asian exclusion era, all of which reveal ICE abuse and a history of often forgotten racist immigration laws. While ultimately arguing for the abolishment of ICE, Hing advocates for change now. With 50 years of law practice and litigation, Hing has represented non-citizens—from gang members to asylum seekers fleeing violence, and from individuals in ICE detention to families at the US southern border seeking refuge. Hing maps out major reforms to the immigration system, making an urgent call for the adoption of a radical, racial justice lens. Readers will understand the root causes of migration and our country’s culpability in contributing to those causes.

    An Inconvenient Cop: My Fight to Change Policing in America by Edwin Raymond, Jon Sternfeld

Title: An Inconvenient Cop: My Fight to Change Policing in America Author: Edwin Raymond, Jon Sternfeld Narrator: Edwin Raymond Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 10 hours 36 minutes Release date: October 17, 2023 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 5 of Total 1 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: FINALIST FOR THE DAYTON LITERARY PEACE PRIZE A WASHINGTON POST BEST NONFICTION BOOK OF 2023 A PUBLISHERS WEEKLY BEST BOOK OF 2023 “With illuminating, vivid, and meticulous prose, Edwin Raymond delivers an extraordinary exposé on policing in America . . . An essential, exceptional work.” —Toluse Olorunnipa, Pulitzer Prize–winning author of His Name Is George Floyd From the highest-ranking whistleblower in NYPD history, a gripping insider look at the complexities of modern policing and the urgent need for reform Over his decade and a half with the New York Police Department, Edwin Raymond consistently exposed the dark underbelly of modern policing, becoming the highest-ranking whistleblower in the history of the force and one of the country’s leading voices against police injustice. Offering a rare, often shocking view of American policing, An Inconvenient Cop pulls back the curtain on the many flaws woven into the NYPD’s training, data, and practices, which have since been repackaged and repurposed by police departments across the country. Gravitating toward law enforcement in the hope of being a positive influence in his community, Raymond quickly learned that the problem with policing is a lot deeper than merely “a few bad apples”—the entire mechanism is set up to ensure that racial profiling is rewarded, and there are weighty consequences for cops who don’t play along. Struggling with the moral dilemma of policing impartially while witnessing his fellow officers go with the flow, Raymond’s journey takes him to the precipice of personal and professional ruin. Yet, through it all, he remains steadfast in his commitment to justice and his belief in the potential for change. At once revelatory and galvanizing, An Inconvenient Cop courageously bears witness to and exposes institutional violence. It presents a vision of radical hope and makes the case for a world in which the police’s responsibility is not to arrest numbers but to the people.
