Those who know Giuliani, whose tough leadership and even tougher politics helped revitalize New York City in the 1990s and lead the country through 9/11, have stood by and watched with incredulity as he put himself at the heart of impeachment charges against the President.

Lengel’s Generals and Geniuses: A History of the Manhattan Project brings the origin of the atomic bomb - and the scientific minds behind it - to vivid life.

We’ve been celebrating Earth Day for 50 years, but even the most ardent activists of today would have a hard time picturing the intensity and excitement the first Earth Day in 1970 brought. Before then, no one used the phrase “environmental movement”. But that first Earth Day sparked an unprecedented conversation about pollution, wilderness protection, sprawl, and more. Join Adam Rome, professor of Environment and Sustainability at the University of Buffalo, as he uncovers the motivation for, and the lasting impact of, a national day devoted to environmental awareness.

In 10 lectures, award-winning historian Patrick N. Allitt transports listeners to England in the 1840s and 1850s. During those two decades, Queen Victoria's husband, Prince Albert, became one of the most influential people in the country and remains a figure of fascination even today. In fact, the British royal family as we know it wouldn't exist without the private and public actions of this detached, impartial, and upright political figure.

In 1960, Ishmael Reed, then an aspiring young writer, interviewed Malcolm X for a local radio station in Buffalo, and the encounter cost Reed his job and changed his life. In Malcolm and Me, Reed, the author of such classic novels as Mumbo Jumbo and the winner of a MacArthur “Genius” Fellowship, reveals a side of Malcolm X the public has never seen before, and explores how the civil rights firebrand influenced his own views on working and living and speaking out, and left a mark on generations of artists and activists.

15 dicembre 1969, la giornata più lunga. I funerali di Stato delle vittime nel Duomo. L'arresto del "mostro" Pietro Valpreda, un ballerino anarchico milanese. A suo carico c'è una testimonianza che gli inquirenti ritengono inattaccabile: un tassista sostiene di averlo accompagnato alla Banca Nazionale dell'Agricoltura (BNA) con una valigetta molto pesante, pochi minuti prima della strage. Dopo tre giorni, il ferroviere anarchico Giuseppe Pinelli è ancora trattenuto in questura: a mezzanotte, durante l'ennesimo interrogatorio, precipita dal quarto piano di Milano e muore.

L'incontro con un maestro di giornalismo, Corrado Stajano, fondamentale anche nella vicenda di Piazza Fontana, e quello con Mario Calabresi, per parlare della morte di suo padre, ucciso il 17 maggio 1972. La giustizia negata per la morte di Pinelli e per le vittime della strage. Il ruolo del giudice Guido Salvini e l'indagine che non può finire. Anzi, sta per entrare nel vivo.

La prima pista è quella rossa. La sera del 12 dicembre 1969 la polizia inizia a rastrellare decine di militanti di sinistra, soprattutto anarchici. Sei di loro – per la verità – sono già in prigione da alcuni mesi: li si accusa di aver compiuto una serie di attentati tra la primavera e l'estate del 1969. Gli inquirenti li stanno torchiando duramente, mentre i giornali annunciano senza esitazioni: il mostro ha già un nome.

12 dicembre 1969, Milano. Sono le 16:37 quando un giovane impiegato venuto dal Sud si avvicina alla grande vetrata che dà sul grande salone della banca dove lavora, la Banca Nazionale dell'Agricoltura (BNA) di piazza Fontana. La sua vita e la storia di questo Paese stanno per cambiare per sempre. Lì sotto, nell'emiciclo, una bomba esplode uccidendo 17 persone e ferendone 88. È la più grande strage europea dal 1945.

Welcome to the era of true marriages of convenience. Discover the reality of trading someone’s hand in marriage, such as an American heiress, in exchange for money, power, or political clout through compelling history lectures. Showcased in novels such as Edith Wharton’s The Age of Innocence and in present day pop culture through works like Downtown Abbey, the Gilded Age was an era of contradictions. Life on both sides of the Atlantic was grimy and glamorous, prosperous and impoverished, traditional and revolutionary.

Tornadoes, cyclones, tsunamis… Weather can be deadly – especially when it strikes without warning. Millions of Americans could soon find themselves at the mercy of violent weather if the public data behind lifesaving storm alerts gets privatized for personal gain. In his first Audible Original feature, New York Times best-selling author and journalist Michael Lewis delivers hard-hitting research on not-so-random weather data – and how Washington plans to release it.

The stuff of conspiracy theories makes for great, entertaining stories in movies, books, and television. And there is no shortage of subjects: from who really killed JFK to the truth behind 9/11. And then, there are subjects from alien invasions to the Moon landing was simulated - theories that are truly out of this world, which according to some, is flat. Many of these crazy concepts have jumped off the pages or screens to become so pervasive in our culture that thousands - even millions - subscribe to them as reality.
