The Philadelphia Report

The Philadelphia Report is a highly polished audio presentation of the Philadelphia Investigating Grand Jury report on Catholic clergy sexual abuse of minors in the Archdiocese of Philadelphia. The 2005 report documents the results of a four-year Grand Jury investigation, led by Philadelphia District Attorney Lynne Abraham. Of all the Grand Jury Reports into U.S. dioceses, this is the model for investigation of the pattern and practice of Catholic clergy abuse and the cover-up perpetrated by authorities.

A courageous team of Deputy District Attorneys including Charles Gallagher and William Spade navigated their way through the files and allegations against 62 Philadelphia priests—less than half the number of implicated clergy in the church files.  The audiobook Foreword is provided by Marci A. Hamilton, professor of law at the Benjamin N. Cardozo School of Law, and coauthor of the report.

The audiobook is read by an eclectic and talented consortium of voice professionals motivated by a common commitment to truth, no matter how painful.

"The Philadelphia Report is disturbing because it is true - and because it reveals a tremendous wrong saturated in the fabric of modern American society. A "must-have" for college libraries with a focus on criminal law and justice."  - Midwest Book Review

The Authoritarians

Ever since John W. Dean published his Conservatives Without Conscience in 2006, much interest has been vested in the research of Dr. Bob Altemeyer that was so prominently featured in the book.

In CWC, Dean set out to learn why modern conservatives seemed to think and behave in ways diametrically opposite the righteous and moral values they so publicly espoused. What he discovered was an existing body of scientific research tracing back to the cinders of the Holocaust. This research focused on the Authoritarian Personality, which social scientists believe was the enabling element within German society that was so deftly exploited by Adolph Hitler and the Third Reich.

Bob Altemeyer studied the authoritarian personality for over 40 years while a professor of psychology. His experiments drew high praise from other scientists, and won the American Association for the Advancement of Science's Prize for Behavioral Science Research. This book summarizes his many findings, and has been widely acclaimed for the relaxed, conversational way the author presents far-reaching and penetrating insights into American life today.

The Delphinus Chronicles

A remarkably original story about a computer with too much power and an ocean-going species about which we know far too little. For those in search of a hint, look to the night sky for the Constellation Delphinus, also known as “The Dolphin.” Simon, a supercomputer recently retired by the government, is awarded to an obscure little college where it is programmed with the ability to learn languages on its own. It turns out that the school is adjacent to a famous San Diego aquatic amusement park, and their innocent project soon spirals into a torrent of unintended consequences.

On the surface, RG Roane's The Delphinus Chronicles seems like it would be the last book to draw the ire—make that scorn—of so many otherwise mild-mannered fiction aficionados. But this is exactly what is happening with this innocuous little story built around an easy-to-love college professor and his students, a supercomputer named Simon, and of course, dolphins. In a manner seemingly aligned with the country’s great political and cultural divide, however, there are just as many equally vehement champions of the book.

A clue to the underlying consternation with Chronicles is uncovered in a recurring comment from these disgruntled readers, and what would seem to be a peculiar complaint about a work of science fiction—its believability.  Yes, in a genre populated by books about monsters and machinery hurtling through space, these readers are upset that the suppositions proposed by Roane cannot possibly be true. Of course not.

For those looking for a hint as to what is so obviously more preposterous than mechanical space monsters, consider the reaction to Dan Brown's The Da Vinci Code. Although similar in root causation, the dust up surrounding Chronicles is at least an order of magnitude more intense. While The Da Vinci Code hints that important tenets of western religious belief may be strategically placed red herrings, Roane, to his detriment or accolade, has the audacity to postulate the shocking reasons why such an elaborate ruse might, in fact, be necessary. Perhaps this would all be inconsequential, and just might have been—if only his ideas didn’t make so much sense.

"The Delphinus Chronicles is a brilliant, literary masterpiece...a real page turner."    - A&E Television Network

Pride and Prejudice

"It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife."

Charles Bingley, a wealthy young gentleman, has moved into Netherfield Park manor, which causes much excitement in the village of Longbourn, especially among the five unmarried daughters of the Bennet household. Despite many romatic complications, the overall tone of this classic novel is, as Jane Austen described it, "light and bright, and sparkling.
