With chapters on every woman who’s ever made it to the White House, Secret Lives of the First Ladies tackles all of the tough questions that other history books are afraid to ask: How many of these women owned slaves? Which ones were cheating on their husbands? And why was Eleanor Roosevelt serving hot dogs to the King and Queen of England? American history was never this much fun in school

In this sequel to Fugitive Days, Ayers charts his life after the Weather Underground, when he becomes the GOP’s flaunted “domestic terrorist,” a “public enemy.” Labeled a "domestic terrorist" by the McCain campaign in 2008 and used by the radical right in an attempt to castigate Obama for "pallin' around with terrorists," Bill Ayers is in fact a dedicated teacher, father, and social justice advocate with a sharp memory and even sharper wit.

On January 29, 1774, Benjamin Franklin was called to appear before the Privy Council--a select group of the king's advisors--in an octagonal-shaped room in Whitehall Palace known as the Cockpit. Spurred by jeers and applause from the audience in the Cockpit, Solicitor General Alexander Wedderburn unleashed a withering tirade against Franklin. Though Franklin entered the room as a dutiful servant of the British crown, he left as a budding American revolutionary.

In the summer of 1776, fifty-six men risked their lives and livelihood to defy King George III and sign the Declaration of Independence - yet how many of them do we actually remember? Signing Their Lives Away introduces listeners to the eclectic group of statesmen, soldiers, slaveholders, and scoundrels who signed this historic document - and the many strange fates that awaited them. Some prospered and rose to the highest levels of United States government, while others had their homes and farms seized by British soldiers.

At the age of 19, scared and illiterate, James Pennington, escaped from slavery in 1827 and soon became one of the leading voices against slavery prior to the Civil War. Just 10 years after his escape, Pennington was ordained as a priest after studying at Yale and was soon traveling all over the world as an anti-slavery advocate. He was so well respected by European audiences that the University of Heidelberg awarded him an honorary doctorate, making him the first person of African descent to receive such a degree.

An intimate account of the Spitzer administration, one man's political downfall, and the enduring friendship between two complex men. The March 10, 2008, disclosure that Governor Eliot Spitzer had patronized prostitutes from the Emperor's Club VIP sex ring shocked New Yorkers and his admirers around the world, who had celebrated Spitzer as the "Sheriff of Wall Street" and a likely future U.S. president. Ironically, one man's disillusionment with Spitzer had begun to disappear 15 hours earlier, when Spitzer confessed what the rest of the world would soon learn in a media storm of unprecedented intensity.

Derided by the Right as dangerous and by the Left as spineless, Barack Obama puzzles observers. In Reading Obama, James T. Kloppenberg reveals the sources of Obama's ideas and explains why his principled aversion to absolutes does not fit contemporary partisan categories. Obama's commitments to deliberation and experimentation derive from sustained engagement with American democratic thought.

Signing Their Rights Away chronicles a moment in American history when our elected officials knew how to compromise - and put aside personal gain for the greater good of the nation. These men were just as quirky and flawed as the elected officials we have today: Hugh Williamson believed in aliens, Robert Morris went to prison, Jonathan Dayton stole $18,000 from Congress, and Thomas Mifflin was ruined by alcohol. Yet somehow these imperfect men managed to craft the world’s most perfect Constitution.

"Uomini contro la mafia" è la storia di una resistenza anomala. Una resistenza che inizia con la nascita della consorteria mafiosa e prosegue fino ai giorni nostri. È la storia di uomini che hanno speso la propria vita affinché la mafia potesse essere sconfitta e che, troppo spesso, sono caduti per difendere le istituzioni democratiche di un Paese distratto e irriconoscente. Servitori dello Stato e uomini di Chiesa, esponenti della società civile e dirigenti di partito, imprenditori e sindacalisti: personalità diverse unite dallo stesso destino.

L'infanzia ad Alessandria d'Egitto, gli insegnamenti del nonno, la disciplina del collegio, il debutto in società. Poi gli anni in Svizzera, l'università, l'interpretariato, l'incontro con il buddismo.

"Questo è il diario dei giorni che Walter Veltroni ha vissuto da sindaco di Roma, succedendo a Francesco Rutelli che aveva determinato la ripresa della capitale. È il resoconto dal vivo di quella esperienza di governo, dei giorni fondamentali di una stagione in cui Roma cresceva, in Pil e occupazione, tre volte più del resto del Paese, in cui si diede vita a una politica sociale e di inclusione che comportò idee inedite e mezzi nuovi. In cui si affrontò il tema centrale della "ricucitura" di Roma, mettendo le periferie al primo posto.

Sono passati 35 anni dall'agonia, dalla morte, dai funerali di Enrico Berlinguer. In quei giorni l'Italia restò sospesa. E la morte di Berlinguer fu causa di dolore non solo per chi condivideva le sue idee, ma anche per chi le avversava. Questo audiolibro racconta le ragioni di quel dolore collettivo, ma soprattutto cerca di restituire ciò che di esemplare, unico, valido ancora e soprattutto oggi, resta dell'eredità politica del segretario del Partito comunista italiano. "Credo sia utile ritrovare oggi le idee di Enrico Berlinguer...".

L'incontro tra Veltroni sedicenne e il futuro leader del Pci avviene nel 1971. "Era di una timidezza che incuteva timore, mi piaceva la sua faccia, assomigliava alle sue idee. Capii che stava facendo qualcosa di grande, mi ha cambiato la vita." Ma chi era quell'uomo schivo che è riuscito a trasformare il Partito comunista in una grande forza capace di raccogliere il consenso di un italiano su tre? Veltroni lo racconta attraverso le testimonianze della figlia Bianca, di Emanuele Macaluso, di Giorgio Napolitano, di Aldo Tortorella.

Cosa significa vivere fuori dal nostro paese per portare aiuto alle persone più deboli del mondo, testimoniando nel concreto il proprio ideale di giustizia sociale? Ecco le storie di vita quotidiana, di emozioni, di gioie, di successi, vissute dagli operatori umanitari italiani di Medici senza frontiere, raccontate attraverso le loro lettere e i loro racconti. Diversi sono gli scenari ma comuni molti dei riferimenti: l'ingiustizia, la mancanza di strutture sanitarie minimali o di acqua, la morte per denutrizione.

Avrebbe potuto mettersi in salvo, decise di rischiare la vita.

Narrando le azioni e le ragioni che muovono i corpi ribelli, l'autore attraversa epoche e luoghi diversi, dall'Europa all'America Latina, portando alla luce le esistenze di uomini e donne che hanno sacrificato tutto a un ideale. Insieme alle gesta di Tupac Amaru o del condottiero maya "Serpente Nero", rivivono le imprese di "Quico" Sabaté, l'anarchico inventore di un mortaio lancia-proclami per bombardare i franchisti; le beffe della primula rossa Silvio Corbari, il partigiano che prendeva in giro i nazifascisti.
