Bloomsbury presents Little Blue Dot by Katherine Dunn, read by Laurel Lefkow The unexplored history of GPS, a military technology turned daily necessity that impacts all aspects of our lives. Gone are the days when we pulled off to the side of the road, twisted a map this way and that, and squinted in exasperation before saying, "We're lost." Now, a network of satellites that circles the earth points us in the right direction. The Global Positioning System is embedded not only in our phones but in our cultural history and our future. GPS, intangible but ubiquitous, has instigated a radical shift in our relationship to our own intuition and place in the world, making us critically dependent on technology we forget is even there. Little Blue Dot uncovers GPS's origins as a product of the Cold War, from the Space Race to the bombing campaigns in Vietnam, following along as its military and civilian uses expanded and shifted to become part of the fabric of modern life. With pulsating detail and witty expertise, investigative reporter Katherine Dunn takes us on a fascinating journey from the origins of the technology to its modern-day iteration, considering its role in international politics and conflict—and its rising vulnerabilities to manipulation. Initially a cog in the wheel of globalization, GPS has now taken on a new life and may even serve as a parable for the proliferation of AI and newer technologies on the horizon. Sharp and evocative, Little Blue Dot considers the future of GPS, its impact on our understanding of space and time, and the role of technology in our lives.

The starting point of this book is the events taking place in the eastern German provinces after the military collapse of the German army in 1944 and onwards. German civilians fled or were expelled from the areas east of the rivers Oder and Neisse. In the wake of these events, a humanitarian crisis followed. Many people lost their lives due to military actions, abuse from the new power holders in the form of massacres, mass rape and internement under inhuman conditions. Around 10-12 million Germans from the eastern and southern part of Europe had subsequently to find a new home with the reduced German state territory. This book analyses the integration of this experience in public memory. It proposes that in the first periode of the new founded Federal Republic of Germany, the fate of the refugees attracted much attention and solidarity, as contrasted to the many other victim groups who had sufferend under the nazi regime. As new evidence and a new historical awareness of the Holocaust emerged, the memory of the expelled was gradually socially and politically marginalised.

Angus Konstam successfully combines a vivid account of a famous pirate with a richly detailed survey of his turbulent and brutal world." --David Cordingly, author of "Under the Black Flag: The Romance and Reality of Life Among the Pirates" "Angus Konstam's "Blackbeard" is more than the story of one pirate, much more. Konstam paints a wide canvas of Blackbeard and his life and times, of the whole sordid and frightening world of piracy. With writing that is at once elegant and accessible, he explores the rise of the 'Golden Age' of piracy, illustrating how simple merchant sailors and privateersmen could be drawn into the most bloody profession of all, and become enemies of the world. Using the pirate Blackbeard as a starting point, Konstam gives the reader a broad understanding of the world of 17th century piracy, from the lives of the men who sailed under the black flag to those who tried to stop them. "Blackbeard" is a great read - informed, scholarly, thorough, accurate and fun." --James L. Nelson, author of the "Brethren of the Coast" Trilogy and "Benedict Arnold's Navy

This audiobook has been recorded using Text to speech (TTS). According to the Doomsday Clock, we, as a planet populated by humans with nowhere else to go, have 100 seconds left to live. Humanity teeters on the brink of self-destruction. While this sounds like the start of an apocalyptic disaster movie, it is in fact, reality. This is the worrying fact of life in the 21st Century. The Doomsday Clock is a warning of man's ability to create something that could destroy everything - humanity's very existence. It is a count-down timer to the point of no return – humanity's doomsday. It symbolizes how close we, as a species, have come to destroying the world with dangerous man-made technologies. The deadline of Midnight represents the moment of apocalypse, and how close the clock is set to that deadline warns how close humanity is to ultimate disaster. With the intention of warning the public and inspiring action, the clock's hands are set in accordance to how great is the threat of destruction. Now, in the 21st century we are closer to Doomsday than ever before.

The narrative in these writings oscillates between the realistic reference that people encounter in their daily lives, on the one hand, and the imaginary, to the point of alienation, on the other. This oscillation has made the identity of the characters and their images, the events and their rhythm, and the times and places constantly changing and even inhabited by surprise. The recipient is not reassured by a meaning until another meaning appears, and does not resort to an interpretation until another tempts him. This is a manifestation of the experimentation in which the individual discourse opens up to the unexpected, the possible, and the probable at the same time. It is as if writing in itself does not create a law for itself except to violate it and exceed it, and does not return to reality except to rebuild and arrange it with a subjective vision that reveals the desire of its owner to create other possible worlds that are different from the reference, but that dialogue with it and listen to it. The Man Who Died in His Imagination - Abdulaziz Al-Essa

A NEW YORK TIMES BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR SO FAR • A NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW EDITORS' CHOICE • In this masterful, groundbreaking work, Pulitzer Prize-winning author Heather Ann Thompson shines surprising new light on an infamous 1984 New York subway shooting that would unveil simmering racial resentments and would lead, in unexpected ways, to a fractured future and a new era of rage and violence. "A gripping and powerful account of one of the 20th century's most important criminal cases." --James Foreman Jr., Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Locking Up Our Own On December 22, 1984, in a graffiti-covered New York City subway car, passengers looked on in horror as a white loner named Bernhard Goetz shot four Black teens, Darrell Cabey, Barry Allen, Troy Canty, and James Ramseur, at point-blank range. He then disappeared into a dark tunnel. After an intense manhunt, and his eventual surrender in New Hampshire, the man the tabloid media had dubbed the “Death Wish Vigilante” would become a celebrity and a hero to countless ordinary Americans who had been frustrated with the economic fallout of the Reagan 80s. Overnight, Goetz’s young victims would become villains. Out of this dramatic moment would emerge an angry nation, in which Rupert Murdoch's New York Post and later Fox News Network stoked the fear and the fury of a stunning number of Americans. Drawing from never-before-seen archival materials, legal files, and more, Heather Ann Thompson narrates the Bernie Goetz Subway shootings and their decades-long reverberations, while deftly recovering the lives of the boys whom too many decided didn't matter. Fear and Fury is the remarkable account and a searing indictment of a crucial turning point in American history.

In this sexy thriller from #1 New York Times bestselling author Sandra Brown, an unruly detective and an ambitious TV show producer work against the clock to prevent another young woman from disappearing before the next blood moon—while trying to resist the attraction between them. Detective John Bowie is one misstep away from being fired from the Auclair Police Department in coastal Louisiana. Recently divorced and slightly heavy-handed with his liquor, Bowie does all that he can to cope with the actions taken (or not taken) during the investigation of Crissy Mellin, a teenage girl who disappeared more than three years prior. But now, Crisis Point, a long-running true crime television series, is soon to air an episode documenting the unsolved Mellin case. Bowie has been instructed by his unscrupulous boss to keep to his grievances and criticisms over the mishandling of the investigation to himself. Beth Collins, a senior producer on Crisis Point, knows what classifies as a great story and when there’s something more to be told. After working on the show for seven years, Collins is convinced that Crissy Mellin’s disappearance was not an isolated incident. A string of disappearances of teenage girls in nearby areas have only one thing in common: They took place on the night of a blood moon. In a last-ditch effort to find out the truth, Beth enlists Detective Bowie to help her figure out what happened to Crissy and find the true culprit before he acts on the next blood moon—in four days’ time. With their jobs and their lives at risk, Bowie and Collins band together to identify and capture a perpetrator, while fighting an irresistible spark between them that threatens to upend everything.

"Deeply, deeply disturbing, hard to put down, not recommended reading after dark." - Stephen King After having travelled west for weeks, the party of pioneers comes to a crossroads. It is time for their leader, George Donner, to make a choice. They face two diverging paths which lead to the same destination. One is well-documented - the other untested, but rumoured to be shorter. Donner's decision will shape the lives of everyone travelling with him. The searing heat of the desert gives way to biting winds and a bitter cold that freezes the cattle where they stand. Driven to the brink of madness, the ill-fated group struggles to survive and minor disagreements turn into violent confrontations. Then the children begin to disappear. As the survivors turn against each other, a few begin to realise that the threat they face reaches beyond the fury of the natural elements, to something more primal and far more deadly. Based on the true story of The Donner Party, The Hunger is an eerie, shiver-inducing exploration of human nature, pushed to its breaking point.
