Summary:
Named a Best Book of the Year by The Boston Globe and Publishers Weekly “Fierce, riveting, and true.”—Claire Messud Not my lover, not my parents, and they said I couldn't tell a friend. In 1969, Honor Moore was twenty-three, a theater student yearning for love and working for radical change, but studying administration and keeping secret, even from herself, her wish to imagine the world by becoming a poet. There was an older lover, a professor, and, with another man, an unwanted sexual encounter. That spring, she had an abortion. A Termination is the story of the young woman who made that decision, and of how that act of resistance, then shrouded in fear and silence, has reverberated throughout her life since.

Because the manuscripts aren't fiction. They're confessions. And my ghostwriter—my killer—has been watching me all along.

Title: Grading for Growth
Subtitle: A Guide to Alternative Grading Practices That Promote Authentic Learning and Student Engagement in Higher Education
Categories: Education, Higher Education, Learning
Author: Robert Talbert
Narrator: Michael Hacker
Publisher: Echo Point Books & Media, LLC
Release date: 02-10-2026
Language: English

Summary:
Are you satisfied with your current and traditional grading system? Does it accurately reflect your students’ learning and progress? Can it be gamed? Does it lead to grade-grubbing and friction with your students? The authors of this book, David Clark and Robert Talbert–two professors of mathematics with input from colleagues across disciplines and institutions–offer listeners a fundamentally more effective and authentic approach to grading that they have implemented for over a decade. Grading for Growth helps educators navigate the complicated landscape of grading and assessment and includes grading systems such as Standards-Based Grading, Specifications Grading, and Ungrading. Recognizing that traditional grading penalizes students in the learning process by depriving them of the formative feedback that is fundamental to improvement, the authors offer alternative strategies that encourage revision and growth. Alternative grading is concerned with students’ eventual level of understanding. This leads to big changes: Students take time to review past failures and learn from them. Conversations shift from “why did I lose a point for this” to productive discussions of content and process. Alternative grading can be used successfully at any level, in any situation, and any discipline, in classes that range from seminars to large multi-section lectures.

Title: Escape From Capitalism
Categories: Capitalism, Ecology, Economic, Economic Inequality
Author: Clara E. Mattei
Narrator: Deborah McBride
Publisher: Penguin Audio
Release date: 01-22-2026
Language: English

Summary:
Brought to you by Penguin. Economics is sold as pure and apolitical: scientific, neutral, exact. This urgent book exposes its true role: to convince us there's no alternative to capitalism. We live in a world dominated by the dogma that austerity is necessary, unemployment natural, endless wars inevitable and central banks all-powerful. It doesn't have to be this way. In her bold, groundbreaking manifesto, economist Clara E. Mattei tears the mask off our economic system. She unpacks key concepts like growth, inflation, unemployment and balanced budgets to show how they're weaponized to enforce market dependence, not freedom, stripping us of the power to shape the democratic decisions that govern our daily lives. Enduring problems such as poverty and inequality are not accidents or bugs in the economy, but core features – justified with pseudoscientific models to support a system that unfairly rewards people with the most resources. Why should we accept this? Capitalism, Mattei argues, isn't inevitable, scientific, or natural – it's a relatively young system that can be replaced. Inspired by a lineage of political resistance, Escape From Capitalism calls for us to challenge the broken economics of our times, and pave the way towards liberation. © Clara E.

Herausgeber: Hörbuchzeit
Veröffentlichungsdatum: 01-16-2026

Zusammenfassung:
Was steckt hinter Geistererscheinungen? Schopenhauer geht dem Phänomen radikal philosophisch auf den Grund – ein Grundlagenwerk der Philosophie, ungekürzt gesprochen von Sven Görtz. Über das Hörbuch: Arthur Schopenhauer (1788–1860) zählt zu den bedeutendsten Philosophen des 19. Jahrhunderts. In seinem Versuch über das Geistersehn und was damit zusammenhängt widmet er sich einem der rätselhaftesten Themen der Menschheitsgeschichte: Spuk, Visionen und sogenannte Geistererscheinungen. Dabei nähert er sich dem Stoff nicht esoterisch, sondern mit scharfem Verstand, erkenntnistheoretischer Tiefe und metaphysischer Konsequenz. Dieses Werk verbindet Philosophie, Psychologie und Grenzerfahrungen – ein faszinierender Text zwischen Aufklärung und metaphysischer Spekulation. Ein philosophischer Sonderweg – fundiert, unerschrocken und sprachlich brillant vorgetragen von Sven Görtz. Warum dieses Hörbuch? Jetzt als ungekürztes Hörbuch – gedankenscharf, ungewöhnlich und fesselnd.

Title: A High Price for Freedom

Categories: African American, America, Black People, Discrimination
Author: Clyde W. Ford
Narrator: Julian Thomas
Publisher: HarperAudio
Release date: 01-13-2026
Language: English

Summary:
History is at its best when new findings and perspectives challenge old ideas and notions about the past, and even overturn common wisdom. What if a former enslaved man in Galveston, Texas, witnessed the first Juneteenth and told a completely different story from what most of us know about that day? Why were slave ships most prone to rebellion, including those carrying the most African women? How has Islam found its way into R&B, soul, jazz, and other American popular music? Who was Benjamin Banneker, really? In , historian Clyde W. Ford addresses these and other questions, amplifying little-known voices from the African American past. In this wide-ranging, impeccably researched book, Ford begins with the 1656 court case of a woman named Elizabeth Key, who won a verdict for her freedom against her would-be enslaver—a victory that would forever change the nature, brutality, and course of American slavery. Ford examines a range of topics, from the role of women in fomenting slave revolts to an in-depth look at how Selma was not really about voting rights or even Martin Luther King, Jr, but about a twenty-six-year-old Black man named Jimmie Lee Jackson who was killed by an Alabama state trooper.

One of the great international bestsellers, Rebecca also inspired a film, a play, and television dramas. This perfect companion volume, The Rebecca Notebook, outlines just how Rebecca came to be written, tracing its origins, developments and the directions it might have taken. The author reveals how she first came upon the secret house, hidden deep in the Cornish woodland, that was to become the romantic setting for her most famous novel: a house which stood derelict, and which she lovingly restored to create her own home. The accompanying Memories introduce other members of her family: her father Gerald, the famous actor; her grandfather George, whose Punch drawings made him world famous; and her cousins, for whom J. M. Barrie wrote Peter Pan.

Categories: Author, Biography, Female Protagonist, Writer
Author: Nina B Lichtenstein
Narrator: Nina B. Lichtenstein
Publisher: Vine Leaves Press
Release date: 12-03-2025
Language: English

Summary:
Body: My Life in Parts is the memoir of an ex-pat Norwegian Lutheran turned American Viking Jewess who is on a quest. This front-end Gen X’er wonders “How the hell did I end up here, now, like this?” The author uses her body to find her answers. In stand-alone but interconnected chapters (“Eyes,” “Belly,” “Breasts,” “Hands,” etc.; 16 chapters in all), body parts serve as portals toward remembrances grounded in the physical body while linking to other forms of experience, with one goal: making sense of a life that she realizes—only through writing it—has been full of reactivity and agency, despite her rarely noticing it in the moment. A quiet, grounding book in turbulent, uncertain times, Body: My Life in Parts, shows the listener how the treasure chest that is her own body can be a source of meaningful discovery, and recovery, of meaning. This book celebrates the body as witness and recordkeeper; a most dependable collaborator in “keeping the score” and in living a more examined life. An appendix with body memory/writing prompts is also included, serving as a guide for listeners who want to explore how to re-member—bring together—their own life-building stories.

Data di pubblicazione: 11-12-2025
Lingua: Italiano

Riepilogo:
A lume di candela o su un prato fiorito, in cucina o - le più fortunate - in una stanza tutta per sé, le donne hanno sempre letto. E fintanto che i loro occhi si posavano su libri scelti dagli uomini, non hanno mai fatto troppa paura. Così, per secoli, le donne hanno conosciuto solo gli scritti dei padri, gli stessi che fin da bambina anche Dacia Maraini ha divorato, e che hanno nutrito la sua fantasia. Poi, da adolescente, con la curiosità ribelle di chi per leggere ha spesso rinunciato a giochi e gite in spiaggia, si è chiesta dove fossero i libri delle madri: perché faticava a trovarli in biblioteca? Perché la critica se ne occupava quasi con condiscendenza? Lo avrebbe scoperto presto, la ragazzina che sarebbe diventata scrittrice: le madri esistevano eccome e non avevano nulla da invidiare ai padri, ma la Storia le aveva dimenticate, censurate, o più spesso ignorate.

Publisher: Terra Nova Books
Release date: 11-11-2025

Summary:
In a world fractured by ideological division and cultural upheaval, The Reckoning of Grace delivers a timely exploration of healing, resilience, and transformation. The third book in Ronald Chapman’s Saga of Grace series (Book 1: A Killer’s Grace and Book 2: The Dark Side of Grace), this novel transcends the boundaries of fiction, offering a powerful reflection of the spiritual struggle beneath today’s social unrest. Investigative journalist Kevin Pitcairn and his beloved Maria Elena Maldonado — now prominent voices in the Watching, a nationwide movement of silent, nonviolent resistance to forces of division — find themselves targeted by those who view their message as a threat to the old order. When violence strikes close to home, they are forced into hiding, guided by Father Anthony de Franco and a community of enlightened seekers. As the nation faces its own reckoning, Pitcairn and Maria Elena confront not only external dangers but also personal wounds that mirror the wider divide. Their journey becomes one of post-traumatic growth, spiritual recovery, and the pursuit of transcendence amid betrayal and fear. Chapman’s masterful character development enriches the narrative, revealing diverse struggles that echo the listener’s path toward healing and reconciliation.

Title: Slacking
Subtitle: A Guide to Ivy League Miseducation
Categories: Education, Higher Education, Learning
Author: Adam Kissel
Narrator: Lisa S. Ware
Publisher: Tantor Media
Release date: 11-04-2025
Language: English

Summary:
Ivy League universities can no longer be trusted to produce well-educated students. Even a cursory review of the course titles at top schools shows that these $320,000-plus diplomas may confer legacy prestige to graduates, but not necessarily knowledge or wisdom. At Cornell, for example, students can take Queer Girlhood and Intersectional Disability Studies. Even worse, these courses actually fulfill general education requirements. It is still possible to earn a great education at Ivy League universities, but doing so requires prudence and persistence. In Slacking, Adam Kissel, Rachel Alexander Cambre, and Madison Marino Doan dedicate one chapter to each Ivy League college, providing information about the coursework that serious students should pursue to extract a real education from these decaying institutions. Every chapter concludes with two course lists, both of which meet the school's general education requirements. One displays the worst collection of courses that an inveterate "slacker" could take to skate through the requirements for entertainment, reinforcement of political biases, and narrow specialization. The other lists the best choice of courses a dedicated striver could take to acquire a well rounded, content-rich liberal education. The contrast between the two sounds an alarm bell for curriculum reform at America's best-known colleges.

Author: Margaret Atwood
Narrator: Margaret Atwood
Publisher: Penguin Audio
Release date: 11-04-2025
Language: English

Summary:
Brought to you by Penguin. How does one of the greatest storytellers of our time write her own life? The long-awaited memoir from one of our most lauded and influential cultural figures ‘Every writer is at least two beings: the one who lives, and the one who writes. Though everything written must have passed through their minds, or mind, they are not the same.’ Raised by ruggedly independent, scientifically minded parents – entomologist father, dietician mother – Atwood spent most of each year in the wild forest of northern Quebec. This childhood was unfettered and nomadic, sometimes isolated (on her eighth birthday: 'It sounds forlorn. It was forlorn. It gets more forlorn.’), but also thrilling and beautiful. From this unconventional start, Atwood unfolds the story of her life, linking seminal moments to the books that have shaped our literary landscape, from the cruel year that spawned Cat’s Eye to divided 1980s Berlin where she began The Handmaid’s Tale.

Summary:
The novels of Jane Austen have captured the imaginations of generations around the world for over two centuries. Not only do these books maintain a special place in literary and popular culture, but there is also an entire multimillion-dollar industry of adaptations, organizations, and merchandise surrounding Austen and her work. Austen is one of the most beloved novelists of all time, and since her early death at age 41, she has become nothing short of a legend. And with legendary status comes the inevitable bending and embellishment of the truth. In the six lectures of Who Was Jane Austen? Sorting Fact from Fiction, you’ll join literary scholar Stephanie Insley Hershinow to explore some of the most enduring myths surrounding Austen and her work. As you dive into the Regency period and the details of Austen’s life, you’ll hear her debunk many longstanding assumptions and misrepresentations that have shaped her image in the popular imagination. Many of the original myths surrounding Austen were constructed by her own family, and most of her letters were destroyed to preserve her reputation as a sweet and unassuming spinster with no pretentions to fame or fortune.

Title: Discredited
Subtitle: Power, Privilege, and Community College Transfer
Categories: Education, Higher Education, Learning
Author: Lauren Schudde
Narrator: Rebecca Lam
Publisher: Tantor Media
Release date: 10-07-2025
Language: English

Summary:
In Discredited, education scholars Lauren Schudde and Huriya Jabbar illuminate the successes and failures of the systems that support student transfer among postsecondary institutions. Schudde and Jabbar show how the decentralized, bureaucracy-ridden, and often confusing process undermines equity and access in higher education. They illustrate how transfer success is closely tied to how educational institutions disseminate information about credit portability, especially for vertical transfer between community colleges and destination universities, in which prospective transfer students often confront hidden curricula and unfounded biases. This work is grounded in hundreds of interviews, data from a longitudinal study, and a synthesis of five decades of research. Schudde and Jabbar use strategic action fields, a framework that considers how rules and norms are maintained in an existing power structure, to examine the political–ecological contexts in which transfer-intending students and transfer-related college personnel interact within and across organizations. They frame transfer policy as a complex public higher education issue. Schudde and Jabbar call for transfer reform and offer insight into how transfer outcomes could be improved through better transparency, centralized policy, and even government intervention.
