Story
The Roman Republic was one of the most remarkable achievements in the history of civilization. After its founding in 509 BCE, the Romans refused to allow a single leader to seize control of the state and grab absolute power. The Roman commitment to cooperative government and peaceful transfers of power was unmatched in the history of the ancient world. But by the year 133 BCE, the republican system was unable to cope with the vast empire Rome now ruled.

Story
Like thousands of Aboriginal children in the United States, Canada, and elsewhere in the colonized world, Xatsu'll chief Bev Sellars spent part of her childhood as a student in a church-run residential school. These institutions endeavored to "civilize" Native children through Christian teachings; forced separation from family, language, and culture; and strict discipline. In this frank and poignant memoir of her years at St. Joseph's Mission, Sellars breaks her silence about the residential school's lasting effects on her and her family and eloquently articulates her own path to healing.

Story
On the morning of April 29, 1986, a fire alarm sounded in the Los Angeles Public Library. As the moments passed, the patrons and staff who had cleared out of the building realized this was not the usual false alarm. As one fireman recounted later, “Once that first stack got going, it was good-bye, Charlie.” The fire was disastrous: It reached 2,000 degrees and burned for more than seven hours. By the time it was extinguished, it had consumed 400,000 books and damaged 700,000 more.

Publisher's Summary
Irin Carmon: I heard you can do 20 push-ups.
Ruth Bader Ginsburg: Yes, but we do 10 at a time. And then I breathe for a bit and do the second set.
Nearly a half century into being a feminist and legal pioneer, something funny happened to Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg: The octogenarian won the Internet. Across America, people who weren't even born when Ginsburg made her name are tattooing themselves with her face, setting her famously searing dissents to music, and making viral videos in tribute. In a class of its own, and much to Ginsburg's own amusement, is the Notorious RBG Tumblr, which juxtaposes the diminutive but fierce Jewish grandmother with the 350-pound rapper featuring original artwork submitted from around the world.
Notorious RBG: The Life and Times of Ruth Bader Ginsburg offers a rich, intimate, unprecedented look at the justice and how she changed the world. From Ginsburg's refusal to let the slammed doors of sexism stop her to her innovative legal work, from her before-its-time feminist marriage to her perch on the nation's highest court - with the fierce dissents to match - get to know RBG as never before. As the country struggles with the unfinished business of gender equality and civil rights, Ginsburg stands as a testament to how far we can come with a little chutzpah.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your My Library section along with the audio.
Editorial Review
The woman, the legend, the icon, the hero. In her 87 years on this Earth and 27 years on the United States Supreme Court, Ruth Bader Ginsburg became the Notorious RBG. A true individual, Ruth Bader Ginsburg was a woman like no other. She had an unwavering sense of truth and justice, and she had confidence in her ability to break through barriers and make a difference. From Irin Carmon and Shana Knizhnik, the bloggers who propelled the feisty octogenarian Justice Ginsburg into an internet sensation, this “life and times” narrative dives into political and social issues, as well as the founding moments that made RBG the force that she was. Feminist, lawyer, and Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States, Ruth Bader Ginsburg was a force to be reckoned with. From her early days at Harvard Law right up until her last moments serving on the Court, Ginsburg was a trailblazer for gender equality, civil rights, and justice for all. She became an icon and hero to women and men of races and religions around the world, and carved the way for lawyers, activists, and feminists who followed in her steps. Through her landmark cases and blistering dissents, her battles against sexism and cancer, and her way of being a wife, a mother, a grandmother, and, above all, unapologetically herself, Ginsburg was an example to many. Notorious RBG stems from the authors’ hit tumblr blog. Using the same humour and cheek that took the internet by storm, Carmon and Knizhnik pair a witty and anecdotal style with a deeper look into Ginsburg’s life, work, and rise to worldwide fame. Prolific narrator Andi Arndt lends her accomplished and dynamic voice to the audiobook. Now synonymous with women’s rights, standing her ground, and fierce determination, RBG has been immortalized in this force of an audiobook.
Featured Article: The Best Female Narrators You Can Listen To All Day
When considering a new audiobook, one of the biggest questions listeners have is whether they’ll enjoy the narration style. This is understandable as audiobooks span at least a few hours, and sticking with one person’s voice for that period can feel like a big commitment. Luckily, there are so many excellent voice actors performing audiobooks that you might just find yourself gravitating to certain audiobooks based solely on the narrator’s strength.
