I haven't noticed anything yet. I have several links for the UK Prime Day promos in the Prime Day 2017 thread. Check them on a daily basis to see if anything gets added.

Just stumbled on this when checking something in my wishlist. Audible has "Strangers in Their Own Land: Anger and Mourning on the American Right" on sale for $4.95. 4.5 rating on Audible. Book has 4.4 rating on Amazon. Hardcover has sales ranking of #914 in all Amazon books. Can't see that its part of any greater sale.

"In Strangers in Their Own Land, the renowned sociologist Arlie Hochschild embarks on a thought-provoking journey from her liberal hometown of Berkeley, California, deep into Louisiana bayou country - a stronghold of the conservative right. As she gets to know people who strongly oppose many of the ideas she famously champions, Hochschild nevertheless finds common ground and quickly warms to the people she meets, among them a Tea Party activist whose town has been swallowed by a sinkhole caused by a drilling accident - people whose concerns are actually ones that all Americans share: the desire for community, the embrace of family, and hopes for their children.

Strangers in Their Own Land goes beyond the commonplace liberal idea that these are people who have been duped into voting against their own interests. Instead Hochschild finds lives ripped apart by stagnant wages, a loss of home, an elusive American dream - and political choices and views that make sense in the context of their lives. Hochschild draws on her expert knowledge of the sociology of emotion to help us understand what it feels like to live in "red" America. Along the way she finds answers to one of the crucial questions of contemporary American politics: Why do the people who would seem to benefit most from "liberal" government intervention abhor the very idea?"

Apparently, there are a couple of others that have dropped as well rumour has it a sale is on the way. I can't see any of them as I'm not a current member but if there's a good amount in the sale I may temporarily rejoin. Others that have dropped are The Time Traveler's Wife, Snow Crash, 14, The Two Towers, Life of Pi, Watership Down, The Road, The Lake House, Orphan Train, and A Man Called Ove, A Long Walk to Water. (list shamelessly stolen from reddit)

LearnOutLoud -- Monthly Offer -- exp 31 Jul

• FREE -- The Jefferson Bible -- Thomas Jefferson/ Seth Anderson --> 2.5 hrs --> religion

The Jefferson Bible: The Life and Morals of Jesus of Nazareth

The Thomas Jefferson Bible, or "The Life and Morals of Jesus" is a stripped down and combined version of the first four books of the Biblical New Testament compiled by Thomas Jefferson as a means of distilling the core teachings of Jesus Christ. Taken up late in the third President's life, this personal project endeavored to separate Christ's philosophy from the centuries of dogma that Jefferson thought only served to over-complicate what was originally a simple theology. Since it was intended for self-study, Jefferson's personal Bible was never published in his lifetime, though there is some indication that he believed this concise Gospel might be more palatable to the Native American population as an educational tool. The result of Jefferson's distillation process is a stark presentation of Christ's ministry, where the sheer power of Jesus' parables demonstrate how he gained such a quick following and why he ultimately became a threat to local authorities. One will also note that all reference to Christ's divine nature have also been cut, but this takes nothing away from a message that remains as moving and challenging as ever.

Thanks, I had been trying to figure out what kind of sale was happening, since I had noticed a couple of mysterious price drops too. Audible can be so weird sometimes!
