Held in Contempt: What's Wrong with the House of Commons?

If MPs do not take responsibility for reforming the House of Commons - the cornerstone of our democracy it will be held in contempt by the British public. In this timely book, Hannah White offers a perceptive critique of the internal shortcomings of the House of Commons. She argues that parliamentary rules have become too complex for many MPs, let alone the public, to understand. Meanwhile, MPs undermine their own credibility by acting as if the rules they set for others should not apply to them. This reinforces the publics sense that MPs are detached from their own lives, and their awareness that MPs are still not representative of the population they govern from the crumbling Palace of Westminster. Hannah White argues these internal flaws are undermining the public reputation of the House of Commons. And they have been compounded by government attempts to side-line parliament, particularly during Brexit and the coronavirus pandemic. At a time of populist challenge to representative democracy, this book is a much-needed rallying cry - to reform the House of Commons as an institution or see it fade into irrelevance.

The Big Short. Movie Tie-in

The No.1 New York Times Bestseller - Now a Major Motion Picture from Paramount Pictures:From the author of The Blind Side and Moneyball, The Big Short tells the story of four outsiders in the world of high-finance who predict the credit and housing bubble collapse before anyone else. The film adaptation by Adam McKay (Anchorman I and II, The Other Guys) features Academy Award winners Christian Bale, Brad Pitt, Melissa Leo and Marisa Tomei; Academy Award nominees Steve Carell and Ryan Gosling.When the crash of the U.S. stock market became public knowledge in the fall of 2008, it was already old news. The real crash, the silent crash, had taken place over the previous year, in bizarre feeder markets where the sun doesn't shine and the SEC doesn't dare, or bother, to tread. Who understood the risk inherent in the assumption of ever-rising real estate prices, a risk compounded daily by the creation of those arcane, artificial securities loosely based on piles of doubtful mortgages? In this fitting sequel to Liar's Poker, Michael Lewis answers that question in a narrative brimming with indignation and dark humor.

Dancing with Dictators": A Family's Journey from Pre-Castro Cuba to Exile in the Turbulent Sixties , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 583min

A Time magazine cover story once called my great-grandfather, who was president of Cuba from 1925 to 1933, the Mussolini of the Caribbean. My mother worshiped him and believed he was the president who did the most for our island. My search for an objective viewpoint was to be compounded by another event. In October of 1960, in a televised speech, Fidel Castro declared himself a Marxist-Leninist. Overnight, my parents' world came to an end. Yet, soon after going into exile, I began to encounter the ongoing romance that so many people had with Castro's revolution, which implied that people like us had merely gotten what we deserved. My memoir is a journey through the lives of family members I loved, who happened to face one of the frequent upheavals that history throws in our way. The audiobook is also my own attempt to understand what truly helps us to endure. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Luis Santeiro.

What Your Atheist Professor Doesn't Know (But Should) , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 334min

The information age has begotten turmoil. It seems that the more information we have, the less peace the average person has. To many, an impression has developed that modern science has disproved the existence of the immaterial realm, and doomed us to a sterile, pointless wandering in the wilderness of minutiae. During roughly the same time this impression has been developing in popular culture, however, massive evidence to the contrary has been steadily erupting from The Sciences! Now that literally billions of trillions of layers of mathematical impossibility have been exposed for the Materialist worldview, compounded by insurmountable metaphysical hurdles, atheism has been shown to be completely irrational! A reasonably skeptical look at modern philosophy, science, archaeology and history point overwhelmingly in a single direction, and the truth that it points to is blissful and eternal. If you'd like to see some of the evidence that has been causing a resurgence of Theism in academic philosophy departments recently, read this book! ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Dan Kassis.
