Norwich by Karen Crouse | Audiobook
Jan 23, 201804:36:00Tap to summarizeListen to full audiobooks for free on :https://hotaudiobook.com/freeTitle: NorwichAuthor: Karen CrouseNarrator: Gabra ZackmanFormat: UnabridgedLength: 4 hrs and 36 minsLanguage: EnglishRelease date: 01-23-18Publisher: Simon & Schuster AudioGenres: Bios & Memoirs, Personal MemoirsSummary:The extraordinary story of the small Vermont town that has likely produced more Olympians per capita than any other place in the country - and whose citizens provide a model for achieving excellence while leading a well-rounded life.Norwich, a charming Vermont town of roughly 3,000 residents, has sent an athlete to almost every Winter Olympics for the past 30 years - and three times that athlete has returned with a medal.How does Norwich do it? To answer this question, New York Times reporter Karen Crouse moved to Vermont, immersing herself in the lives of Norwich Olympians past and present. There, amid the organic farms and clapboard colonial buildings, she discovered a culture that's the opposite of the hypercompetitive schoolyard of today's tiger moms and eagle dads. In Norwich, kids aren't cut from teams. They don't specialize in a single sport, and they even root for their rivals. What's more, their hands-off parents encourage them to simply enjoy themselves. Making it to the Olympics is seen not as the pinnacle of an athlete's career but as a fun stop on the way to achieving other longer-lasting dreams. Norwich, Crouse realized, wasn't just raising better athletes than the rest of America; it was raising happier, healthier kids.Full of inspiring stories of Olympians who excelled on and off the sports field - and had a blast doing so - Norwich is the book for every parent who wants to raise kids to be levelheaded, fulfilled, and successful.Contact: info@hotaudiobook.com

The First Casualty by Peter Greste | Audiobook
Jan 18, 201811:25:00Tap to summarizeListen to full audiobooks for free on :https://hotaudiobook.com/freeTitle: The First CasualtyAuthor: Peter GresteNarrator: Peter GresteFormat: UnabridgedLength: 11 hrs and 25 minsLanguage: EnglishRelease date: 01-18-18Publisher: Audible StudiosGenres: Bios & Memoirs, Personal MemoirsSummary:In a world where the first casualty of war is truth, journalism has become the new battleground.Peter Greste spent two decades reporting from the front line in the world's most dangerous countries before making headlines himself following his own incarceration in an Egyptian prison. Charged with threatening national security, and enduring a sham trial, solitary confinement and detention for 400 days, Greste himself became a victim of the new global war on journalism.Wars have always been about propaganda, but today's battles are increasingly between ideas, and the media has become part of the battlefield. Extremists have staked a place in news dissemination with online postings, and journalists have moved from being witnesses to the struggle to a means by which the war is waged - which makes them a target. Having covered conflicts in Afghanistan, Iraq and Somalia, as well as having spent time prison in Egypt, Greste is extremely well placed to describe in vivid detail what effect this has on the nature of reporting and the mind of the reporter.Based on extensive interviews and research, Greste shows how this war on journalism has spread to the West, not just in the murders at the French satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo or the repressions of Putin's Russia, but Australia's metadata laws and Trump's phony war on 'fake news'.In this courageous, compelling, vital account, Greste unpicks the extent to which modern investigative journalism is under threat and the fraught quest - and desperate need - for truth in the age of terrorism.Contact: info@hotaudiobook.com
