Conquering the Pacific An Unknown Mariner and the Final Great Voyage of the Age of Discovery [Audiobook]
English | ASIN: B08XYB8Z8W | 2021 | 6 hours and 6 minutes | MP3 | M4B | 168 MB
The story of an uncovered voyage as colorful and momentous as any on record for the Age of Discovery - and of the Black mariner whose stunning accomplishment has been until now lost to history. It began with a secret mission, no expenses spared. Spain, plotting to break Portugal's monopoly trade with the fabled Orient, set sail from a hidden Mexican port to cross the Pacific - and then, critically, to attempt the never-before-accomplished return, the vuelta. Four ships set out from Navidad, each one carrying a dream team of navigators.
The smallest ship, guided by seaman Lope Martín, a mulatto who had risen through the ranks to become one of the most qualified pilots of the era, soon pulled far ahead and became mysteriously lost from the fleet. It was the beginning of a voyage of epic scope, featuring mutiny, murderous encounters with Pacific islanders, astonishing physical hardships - and at last a triumphant return to the New World. But the pilot of the fleet's flagship, the Augustine friar mariner Andrés de Urdaneta, later caught up with Martín to achieve the vuelta as well. It was he who now basked in glory, while Lope Martín was secretly sentenced to be hanged by the Spanish crown as repayment for his services. Acclaimed historian Andrés Reséndez, through brilliant scholarship and riveting storytelling - including an astonishing outcome for the resilient Lope Martín - sets the record straight.

Before the Big Bang The Origin of the Universe and What Lies Beyond [Audiobook]
English | ASIN: B09Q4HSBQM | 2022 | 5 hours and 46 minutes | MP3 | M4B | 158 MB
A revolutionary new account of our universe's creation—and a breathtaking exploration of the landscape from which we sprang—from one of the world's most celebrated cosmologists. What came before the Big Bang, and what exists outside of the universe it created? Until recently, scientists could only guess at what lay past the edge of spacetime. However, as pioneering theoretical physicist Laura Mersini-Houghton explains, new scientific tools are now giving us the ability to peer beyond the limits of our universe and to test our theories about what is there. Her groundbreaking research suggests that we sit in a quantum landscape whose peaks and valleys hide a multitude of other universes, and whose topography holds the secret to the origins of existence itself. Recent evidence has revealed the signatures of one such sibling universe in our own night sky, confirming Mersini-Houghton's theoretical work and offering humbling proof that our universe is just one member of an unending cosmic family. A mind-expanding journey through the multiverse, Before the Big Bang will reshape our understanding of humanity's place in the unfathomable vastness of the cosmos.

Any Given Tuesday A Political Love Story [Audiobook]
English | ASIN: B09L5CZ126 | 2022 | 10 hours and 33 minutes | MP3 | M4B | 289 MB
A rollicking, irreverent look behind the scenes of the wild world of American politics from one of the most sought-after operatives in the Democratic Party. Lis Smith isn't your average political strategist, and Any Given Tuesday isn't your typical political memoir. At once a revealing look at human nature at the highest levels of power and an intimate portrayal of a sometimes rocky personal journey, it breaks all the rules. Smith doesn't pretend to be perfect—she owns the controversial choices that landed her on the cover of tabloids, as well as the unorthodox ones that have paid off and defined her successful career.
Any Given Tuesday follows Smith from her earliest experiences as a wide-eyed intern sleeping in her car to her days as a trusted adviser and confidante to some of the most high-profile politicians in the country—including her star turn as senior adviser on Pete Buttigieg's 2020 presidential campaign. Animated by Smith's love for the hand-to-hand combat of politics and sustained by her deeply held belief that it's still possible to effect positive change, it's an odyssey full of highs and lows and larger-than-life characters. Throughout, Smith shows what it's really like behind the curtain: what happens when the lights go down and the cameras turn off, how it feels to be in the eye of the political media storm, and how the people responsible for heady life-and-death decisions are as flawed as the rest of us. While the journey hasn't always been smooth, Lis Smith has seen and learned a lot—and she shares it all in this eye-opening, wildly entertaining memoir.
