Title: Framed: Astonishing True Stories of Wrongful Convictions Author: John Grisham, Jim Mccloskey Narrator: Jim Mccloskey, Michael Beck, John Grisham Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 13 hours 55 minutes Release date: October 15, 2024 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 4.12 of Total 26 Ratings of Narrator: 4.5 of Total 4 Genres: True Crime Publisher's Summary: #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • In John Grisham’s first work of nonfiction since The Innocent Man, “the master of the legal thriller” (Associated Press) teams up with Jim McCloskey, “the godfather of the innocence movement” (Texas Monthly), to share ten harrowing true stories of wrongful convictions. “Each of these stories is told with astonishing power. They are packed with human drama, with acts of shocking villainy and breathtaking courage. But these are more than just gripping true stories—they are a clarion call for reforming the tragic flaws in our criminal justice system.”—David Grann, author of Killers of the Flower Moon John Grisham is known worldwide for his bestselling novels, but it’s his real-life passion for justice that led to his work with Jim McCloskey of Centurion Ministries, the first organization dedicated to exonerating innocent people who have been wrongly convicted. Together they offer an inside look at the many injustices in our criminal justice system. A fundamental principle of our legal system is a presumption of innocence, but once someone has been found guilty, there is very little room to prove doubt. These ten true stories shed light on Americans who were innocent but found guilty and forced to sacrifice friends, families, and decades of their lives to prison while the guilty parties remained free. In each of the stories, John Grisham and Jim McCloskey recount the dramatic hard-fought battles for exoneration. They take a close look at what leads to wrongful convictions in the first place and the racism, misconduct, flawed testimony, and corruption in the court system that can make them so hard to reverse. Impeccably researched and told with page-turning suspense as only John Grisham can deliver, Framed is the story of winning freedom when the battle already seems lost and the deck is stacked against you. * This audiobook edition is accompanied by a downloadable PDF which includes A Note on Sources and Acknowledgments from the book.

episode Saxophone Colossus: The Life and Music of Sonny Rollins by Aidan Levy cover

Saxophone Colossus: The Life and Music of Sonny Rollins by Aidan Levy

Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/795897 [https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/795897] to listen full audiobooks. Title: Saxophone Colossus: The Life and Music of Sonny Rollins Author: Aidan Levy Narrator: William Andrew Quinn Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 31 hours 21 minutes Release date: December 17, 2024 Genres: The Americas Publisher's Summary: Sonny Rollins has long been considered an enigma. Known as the 'Saxophone Colossus,' he is widely acknowledged as one of the greatest jazz improvisers of all time. His seven-decade career has been well documented, but the backstage life of the man once called 'the only jazz recluse' has gone largely untold—until now. Based on more than 200 interviews with Rollins himself, family members, friends, and collaborators, as well as Rollins' extensive personal archive, Saxophone Colossus is the comprehensive portrait of this legendary saxophonist and composer, civil rights activist and environmentalist. Yet his meteoric rise to fame was not without its challenges. He served two sentences on Rikers Island and won his battle with heroin addiction. In 1959, Rollins took a two-year sabbatical from recording and performing. In 1968, he left again to study at an ashram in India. He returned to performing from 1971 until his retirement in 2012. The story of Sonny Rollins is the story of jazz itself, and Sonny's own narrative is as timeless and timely as the art form he represents. Part jazz oral history told in the musicians' own words, part chronicle of one man's quest for social justice and spiritual enlightenment, this is the definitive biography of one of the most enduring and influential artists in jazz and American history.

Title: How to Feed the World: A Factful Guide Author: Vaclav Smil Narrator: Joe Jameson Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 7 hours 30 minutes Release date: November 7, 2024 Genres: Fitness, Diet & Nutrition Publisher's Summary: Brought to you by Penguin. In this ambitious, myth-busting book, leading scientist and internationally bestselling author Vaclav Smil investigates many of the burning questions facing the world today: Why are some of the world’s biggest food producers also the countries with the most undernourished populations? Why is food waste a colossal 1,000kcal per person daily, and how can we solve that? Could we all go vegan and be healthy? Should we? How will we feed the ballooning population without killing the planet? How To Feed The World shows how we misunderstand the essentials of where our food really comes from, how our dietary requirements shape us, and why this impacts our planet in drastic ways. Ultimately, this data-based, rigorously researched guide explains how we will survive and thrive long into the future. ‘There is no author whose books I look forward to more’ BILL GATES ‘There is perhaps no other academic who paints pictures with numbers like Smil’ GUARDIAN © Vaclav Smil 2024 (P) Penguin Audio 2024
