For over 100 years, thousands of Aboriginal children passed through the Canadian residential school system. Begun in the 1870s, it was intended, in the words of government officials, to bring these children into the “circle of civilization,” the results, however, were far different. More often, the schools provided an inferior education in an atmosphere of neglect, disease, and often abuse. Using previously unreleased government documents, historian John S. Milloy provides a full picture of the history and reality of the residential school system.

And although the first commandment of being a badass says not to talk about being a badass, I think the universe will make an exception, since I am endeavoring to bring the universal message of self-confidence to those who have not yet heard. I may not be some people's version of a badass, but I don't really care. Some are masters of getting what they want, and some are masters of giving until they drop. All badasses, however, have some things in common, and I like observing and documenting them. This audiobook is a collection of my observations.

Excerpt: "The United States was desperate to reassert its global power after the embarrassment of Sputnik. In fact, the Russians were showing up the United States in all sorts of ways. First human-made satellite, the first man in space, first man in orbit, the first woman in space, first dog in space. The list goes on.

You've heard that behavior is dictated by your brain orientation. Either you're right-brained or left-brained. If you're right-brained, you're creative. If you're left-brained, you're technical. Or so it may seem. Until he entered extreme grief after the death of his wife—his true love—John Lodal believed that was true.

Not much bothers Wes Carter. Not the rotation of girls in his bed. Not the promotion he was supposed to get a year ago. Not even the new packmate he can’t take his eyes off. At least, that’s what he tells himself. Truth is, no one’s ever affected him the way this beautiful but strange woman does, and he plans to find out why.

The Earth is not flat, and I will prove it. Flat-Earthers can't be bothered with such proof, however, because theirs is more of a faith than a science. In No Globe: Understanding Flat-Earth Logic, Adams gets to the root of this insanity. Is NASA lying to you about the shape of the Earth?

Or perhaps this runaway cynicism is due to decades of secretive behavior on the part of the US government....

Some nights, we have the road to ourselves and the radio sings only for us. We play our shows and tear-ass out. Tonight, it was this little dive bar in a town we took to calling East Motherless. But we play, no matter. We rock and then we roll. The soundcheck and the fury, the power chord and the glory. Then we load our gear into a muddy-brown Merc with a little trailer behind, and we're off. Slinging gravel, filling sky with road.

Programa 5x96, amb Carles Davó.
