Barkley A Biography [Audiobook]
English | ASIN: B09WC12WN7 | 2022 | 16 hours and 46 minutes | MP3 | M4B | 482 MB
The definitive biography of Charles Barkley, exploring his early childhood, his storied NBA career, and his enduring legacy as a provocative voice in American pop culture. He's one of the most interesting American athletes in the past fifty years. Passionate, candid, iconoclastic, and gifted both on and off the court, Charles Barkley has made a lasting impact on not only the world of basketball but pop culture at large. Yet few people know the real Charles. Raised by his mother and grandmother in Leeds, Alabama, he struggled in his early years to fit in until he found a sense of community and purpose in basketball. In the NBA he went toe-to-toe with the biggest legends in the game, from Magic to Michael to Hakeem to Shaq. But in the years since, he has become a bold agitator for social change, unafraid to grapple, often brashly, with even the thorniest of cultural issues facing our nation today. Informed by over 370 original interviews and painstaking research, Timothy Bella's Barkley is the most comprehensive biography to date of one of the most talked-about icons in the world of sports.

Applied Economics by Introbooks

Applied Economics by Introbooks
English | MP3 | M4B | 41 min | ISBN: 9781094261935 | 2020 | 57.5 MB
Applied Economics is a recent development in the subject of economics. By Applied Economics, the application part of any economic policy is to be considered without which an economic theory in itself would be rendered useless. Economic Theories are propounded every other day, but without a practical use to itself, the same may not be fruitful. Presently, all major countries are reluctant to develop their own economy and make the same powerful owing to the reason that only a strong economy is an identification of the fact that whether the country is growing or not. Competition has increased within the country and outside and these factors have further compelled governments to adopt one or the other way. Though applied economics is not a policy, it is a newly derived subject within economics which walks with it hand in hand and without the attributes of the subject, deriving many factors would not be possible.

Ancient Mesopotamia history is defined by several key inventions that impacted the globe, including the concept of time, algebra, the wheel, sailboats, maps, and writing. Another characteristic of Mesopotamia is the shifting succession of governing bodies from various regions and cities that seized power over a period of thousands of years. The Babylonian and Neo-Babylonian Empires both had Babylon as their capital. It was a sprawling, heavily-populated city with enormous walls and multiple palaces and temples. The Ishtar Gate, the Marduk Temple, and the stelae on which Hammurabi's Code was inscribed are some of the well-known buildings and artifacts. The Assyrians' formidable army was undoubtedly their greatest claim to fame. Their way of life was dictated by the way of the warrior. They managed to survive because of it.

A Brilliant Commodity Diamonds and Jews in a Modern Setting [Audiobook]
English | ASIN: B0BLXX4GPB | 2022 | 11 hours and 26 minutes | MP3 | M4B | 326 MB
During the late nineteenth century, tens of thousands of diggers, prospectors, merchants, and dealers extracted and shipped over 50 million carats of diamonds from South Africa to London. The primary supplier to the world, South Africa's diamond fields became one of the formative sites of modern capitalist production. At each stage of the diamond's route through the British empire and beyond—from Cape Town to London, from Amsterdam to New York City—carbon gems were primarily mined, processed, appraised, and sold by Jews. In A Brilliant Commodity, historian Saskia Coenen Snyder traces how once-peripheral Jewish populations became the central architects of a new, global exchange of diamonds.
