Title: The British Royalty Collection Author: Liam Dale Narrator: Liam Dale Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 6 hours 9 minutes Release date: December 31, 1969 Genres: History & Culture Publisher's Summary: Visitors to London during the height of summer quickly realize that the city attracts tourists from every corner of the globe, and Buckingham Palace is often at the top of their must-see list, followed by the Tower of London and, since the tragic death of Diana, Princess of Wales in 1997, Kensington Palace—her former residence. Despite claims that monarchies, British or otherwise, are outdated institutions, millions still flock to these royal sites, eager to walk in the footsteps of both ancient and modern royalty and witness the places where history was made. When it comes to the great Kings and Queens of the past, some figures like Richard the Lionheart, Henry VIII, and George III are well-known for very different reasons, while queens such as Mary I (of England and Scotland), Elizabeth I, and Queen Victoria remain just as captivating today as they were during their reigns. However, many lesser-known figures are equally worthy of exploration. Whether you're looking for a who's who of British royalty for your next pub quiz or you're curious about how we've gone from ancient feuding tribes to the modern monarchy, this royal romp through history will ensure you never confuse your Henrys, Georges, Edwards, Richards, Marys, and Williams again.

Sindelar Narrator: Callie Beaulieu Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 6 hours 19 minutes Release date: November 5, 2024 Genres: History & Culture Publisher's Summary: Ernest Hemingway's passion was writing, and he was inspired by a lifetime of daring adventures and encouraged by the many women in his life. His masculine, adventurous spirit appealed to women of all ages, including four wives and a long list of legendary actresses, and he frequently transformed the women in his life into memorable fictional characters. In 1950, Hemingway told Marlene Dietrich that he truly loved only five women. Who were these women and why did he love them? Some of them may have included his wives, but there were others too, among them Agnes von Kurowsky. Through quotations from his works and personal letters, Hemingway scholar Nancy W. Sindelar captures Hemingway's life and romantic adventures, revealing his own feelings about his romantic relationships and the ways his experiences with women appear in his literary works. Much has been written about Hemingway, but to date no book has linked the women he loved to his written work. The stories of Hemingway's romantic relationships reveal not only the influence these women had on his writing but also his personal ambition, heartbreak, and literary triumphs and trials. Sindelar's provocative analyses of Hemingway's literature give fresh insight into the life of a legendary author, outdoorsman, adventurer, and lover.

Title: Gichigami Hearts: Stories and Histories from Misaabekong Author: Linda Legarde Grover Narrator: Lanecia Edmonds Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 6 hours 13 minutes Release date: October 29, 2024 Genres: History & Culture Publisher's Summary: Long before there was a Duluth, Minnesota, the massive outcropping that divides the city emerged from the ridge of gabbro rock running along the westward shore of Lake Superior. A great westward migration carried the Ojibwe people to the Point of Rocks. Against this backdrop—Misaabekong, the place of the giants—the lives chronicled in Linda LeGarde Grover's book unfold, some in myth, some in long-ago times, some in an imagined present, and some in the author's family history, all with a deep bond to the land, one another, and the Ojibwe culture. Their fortunes and the family's future are inextricably entwined with tales of marriages to voyageurs, relocations to reservation lands, encounters with the spirits of the lake and wood creatures, the renewal of life—in myth and in art, the search for meaning in the transformations of our day is always vital. Finally, in one man's struggles, age-old tribulations, the intergenerational traumas of extended families and communities, and a uniquely Ojibwe appreciation for the natural and spiritual worlds converge, forging the Ojibwe worldview and will to survive as his legacy to his descendants. Blending the seen and unseen, the old and the new, the amusing and the tragic and the hauntingly familiar, this lyrical work encapsulates a way of life forever vibrant at the Point of Rocks.

Title: Perdurabo, Revised and Expanded Edition: The Life of Aleister Crowley Author: Richard Kaczynski Narrator: Alan Irving Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 30 hours 26 minutes Release date: October 29, 2024 Genres: History & Culture Publisher's Summary: A rigorously researched biography of the founder of modern magick, as well as a study of the occult, sexuality, Eastern religion, and more   The name "Aleister Crowley" instantly conjures visions of diabolic ceremonies and orgiastic indulgences—and while the sardonic Crowley would perhaps be the last to challenge such a view, he was also much more than "the Beast," as this authoritative biography shows.  Perdurabo—entitled after the magical name Crowley chose when inducted into the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn—traces Crowley's remarkable journey from his birth as the only son of a wealthy lay preacher to his death in a boarding house as the world's foremost authority on magick. Along the way, he rebels against his conservative religious upbringing; befriends famous artists, writers, and philosophers (and becomes a poet himself); is attacked for his practice of "the black arts"; and teaches that science and magick can work together. While seeking to spread his infamous philosophy of, "Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law," Crowley becomes one of the most notorious figures of his day.   Based on Richard Kaczynski's twenty years of research, and including previously unpublished biographical details, Perdurabo paints a memorable portrait of the man who inspired the counterculture and influenced generations of artists, punks, wiccans, and other denizens of the demimonde.

Title: Reconciling History: A Story of Canada Author: Roshan Danesh, Jody Wilson-Raybould Narrator: Adrian Shepherd-Gawinski, Kaitlyn Yott, Joshua Odjick, Marion Newman, Chris Mejaki, Asivak Koostachin, Glen Gould, Dillan Chiblow, Reneltta Arluk, Roshan Danesh, Sarah Kelley, Jody Wilson-Raybould, Tai Amy Grauman Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 8 hours 55 minutes Release date: October 29, 2024 Genres: History & Culture Publisher's Summary: One of Indigo's Top 10 History Books of 2024 and Top 100 Books of 2024 • One of the Toronto Star's 25 books to read this season From the #1 national bestselling author of 'Indian' in the Cabinet and True Reconciliation, a truly unique history of our land—powerful, devastating, remarkable—as told through the voices of both Indigenous and non-Indigenous peoples. The totem pole forms the foundation for this unique and important oral history of Canada. Its goal is both toweringly ambitious and beautifully direct: To tell the story of this country in a way that prompts readers to look from different angles, to see its dimensions, its curves, and its cuts.  To see that history has an arc, just as the totem pole rises, but to realize that it is also in the details along the way that important meanings are to be found.  To recognize that the story of the past is always there to be retold and recast, and must be conveyed to generations to come. That in the act of re-telling, meaning is found, and strength is built. When it comes to telling the history of Canada, and in particular the history of the relationship between Indigenous and non-Indigenous peoples, we need to accept that the way in which our history has traditionally been told has not been a common or shared enterprise. In many ways, it has been an exclusive and siloed one. Among the countless peoples and groups that make up this vast country, the voices and experiences of a few have too often dominated those of many others. Reconciling History shares voices that have seldom been heard, and in this ground-breaking book they are telling and re-telling history from their perspectives. Born out of the oral history in True Reconciliation, and complemented throughout with stunning photography and art, Reconciling History takes this approach to telling our collective story to an entirely different level.

Title: Recollections of Lincoln 1847-1865 Author: Ward Hill Lamon Narrator: The Scythe, Geoffrey Giuliano Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 8 hours 37 minutes Release date: October 27, 2024 Genres: History & Culture Publisher's Summary: Recollections of Abraham Lincoln, 1847-1865 by Ward Hill Lamon offers a personal and candid view of Lincoln through the eyes of one of his closest friends and bodyguards. Lamon, a lawyer and former law partner of Lincoln, had a unique vantage point, accompanying him through critical periods of his life, including his presidency. Known for his loyalty and blunt honesty, Lamon sheds light on Lincoln's personality, quirks, and struggles, portraying him not just as a revered leader but as a complex, deeply human figure. The book reveals intimate moments, including Lincoln's moods, personal habits, and bouts of melancholy, along with anecdotes about his humor and kindness. Lamon also provides insights into Lincoln's relationships with colleagues, his evolving stance on slavery, and the weight of responsibility he carried during the Civil War. Unlike more formal biographies, these recollections offer an unpolished, raw perspective that sometimes challenges the idealized image of Lincoln. Lamon's account is significant because it comes from someone within Lincoln's inner circle, presenting a version of the president based on friendship and firsthand experience. Though not without controversy—some criticized Lamon for being too critical or unfiltered—the book remains a valuable contribution to understanding Lincoln as a man, not just a mythic figure. Narrated by Emmy-nominated actor Geoffrey Giuliano and The Sycthe.

First published in 1886, the book weaves together biographical details, personal anecdotes, and historical events to provide a comprehensive look at Lincoln from his early years to his presidency and tragic assassination.

The book covers Lincoln's youth on the frontier, his self-taught rise in law and politics, and his marriage to Mary Todd, offering glimpses into his home life and personality.

Browne carefully captures how Lincoln balanced the challenges of war and governance with the personal tragedies he endured, such as the loss of his children. What sets this book apart is its focus on humanizing Lincoln, showing not just the decisions of a statesman but the everyday actions of a man shaped by hardship and guided by a deep sense of justice. By combining historical fact with vivid storytelling, Browne provides readers with a compelling and intimate account of Lincoln's life, offering insights into the humanity behind the legend .Narrated by Emmy Nominated actor Geoffrey Giuliano and The Scythe.

Title: [German] - Erich Fromm (1900-1980) und Herbert Marcuse (1898-1979) - Leben, Werke, Bedeutung - Basiswissen - Basiswissen (ungekürzt) Author: Bert Alexander Petzold Narrator: Michael Seeboth Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 1 hour 33 minutes Release date: October 26, 2024 Genres: History & Culture Publisher's Summary: Erich Fromm und Herbert Marcuse - Die zweite Generation der Kritischen Theorie Der erfahrene Autor und Herausgeber Bert Alexander Petzold erläutert verständlich und strukturiert Basiswissen zu den berühmten Philosophen der Frankfurter Schule Erich Fromm und Herbert Marcuse. Beide teilten zunächst eine kritische Perspektive auf den Kapitalismus und die bürgerliche Gesellschaft und verbanden die Theorien von Karl Marx mit den Ideen der Psychoanalyse von Sigmund Freud. Sie beschäftigten sich mit der Frage, wie menschliche Freiheit und Autonomie innerhalb einer repressiven Gesellschaft erreicht werden könne. Erich Fromm (1900-1980) wurde in Frankfurt am Main geboren und wuchs in enger Verbindung zur jüdischen Orthodoxie auf. Ein frühes Jura-Studium in der Heimatstadt brach er zugunsten der Talmud-Studien in Freiburg ab. Dort kam er über Frieda Reichmann in Kontakt zur Psychoanalyse und fand seine Passion als Psychoanalytiker, Sozialpsychologe und Philosoph. Anfang der 1930 trat er in den Kreis um das 1923 in Frankfurt am Main gegründete Institut für Sozialforschung (IfS) ein und wurde von einem begeisterten Max Horkheimer eingestellt. Zusammen mit dem IfS emigrierte er Mitte der 1930er Jahre wegen der eminenten Bedrohung durch die Nationalsozialisten nach New York City, wo er zusammen mit Herbert Marcuse an den 'Studien über Autorität und Familie' arbeitete. Herbert Marcuse (1898-1979) wurde in Berlin geboren, absolvierte das 'Notabitur' und wurde in den Kriegsdienst im kaiserlichen Heer berufen. Nach Kriegsende war er kurzzeitig im Soldatenrat und in der SPD tätig und wechselte zugunsten eines Philosophie- und Germanistik Studiums an die Universität Berlin. Später kehrte er nach Freiburg zurück, um vergeblich bei Martin Heidegger zu habilitieren und etablierte sich als einflussreicher Philosoph, Soziologe und Politologe. Herbert Marcuse kam erst 1932 in die Peripherie des Frankfurter IfS und arbeitete für die neu eingerichtete Zweigstelle in Genf. Später in New York wurde er zum vollen Mitglied. Fromm und Marcuse trennten sich beide vom IfS aus unterschiedlichen Gründen. Fromm brach mit allen, Marcuse verblieb in relativ regem Kontakt. Erich Fromm wurde 1956 mit dem internationalen Bestseller 'Die Kunst des Liebens' zum berühmtesten aller IfS-Affiliierten, wohingegen Herbert Marcuse ein Jahr zuvor mit 'Triebstruktur und Gesellschaft' das erste von drei Manifesten der zukünftigen Studentenprotestbewegung verfasste. Ab den 1950er Jahren distanzierten sich beide zunehmend voneinander. Marcuse kritisierte Fromm offen und warf ihm vor, zu stark auf individuelle psychologische Veränderungen zu setzen und die politische Revolution zu vernachlässigen. Fromm seinerseits hielt Marcuses radikale Ansichten für zu extrem und war der Meinung, dass eine solche Revolution die humanistischen Werte, die er vertrat, gefährden könnte. Zur gleichen Zeit trugen beide einen öffentlichen Disput über das Dissent-Magazin aus, der ihre Ablehnung zementierte. Marcuse avancierte zu einem der wichtigsten Unterstützer der 1968er-Protestbewegung. Herbert Marcuse schied im Jahre 1979 an einem Schlaganfall aus dem Leben, Erich Fromm folgte ihm nur ein Jahr später. Das Hörbuch liest der Opernsänger, Schauspieler und erfahrene Sprecher Michael Seeboth mit ausdrucksstarker Stimme.

Title: Abraham Lincoln: The Prairie Years Author: Carl Sandburg Narrator: The Scythe, Geoffrey Giuliano Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 18 hours 52 minutes Release date: October 26, 2024 Genres: History & Culture Publisher's Summary: Abraham Lincoln: The Prairie Years by Carl Sandburg is a two-volume biography that explores Lincoln's life from his childhood through his early political career, ending just before he became president. Published in 1926, Sandburg's work combines detailed historical research with a lyrical, almost poetic style, reflecting his background as both a poet and a historian. The narrative captures the spirit of the American frontier, vividly portraying the world that shaped Lincoln's character and values. The book provides insight into Lincoln's formative years—his struggles with poverty, self-education, and early experiences with law and politics. Sandburg emphasizes the influences that helped mold Lincoln's sense of justice and compassion, such as his time working as a laborer, his encounters with slavery, and his debates on moral and political issues. Throughout, Lincoln emerges not only as a brilliant politician but also as a deeply human figure, marked by humor, melancholy, and a profound sense of purpose. Sandburg's approach blends history with storytelling, making the biography both informative and engaging. His attention to detail and vivid descriptions allow readers to feel immersed in Lincoln's world, setting the foundation for his later work, Abraham Lincoln: The War Years. Together, these books offer one of the most comprehensive portraits of Lincoln's life and legacy. Narrated by Emmy Nominated actor Geoffrey Giuliano and The Scythe.

Title: [German] - Arthur Schopenhauer (1788-1860) - Leben, Werke, Bedeutung - Basiswissen (ungekürzt) Author: Bert Alexander Petzold Narrator: Otto Schumann, Synthesized Voice - Male Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 3 hours 4 minutes Release date: October 26, 2024 Genres: History & Culture Publisher's Summary: Arthur Schopenhauer - Erklärer unserer subjektiven Weltsicht Der Autor und Herausgeber Bert Alexander Petzold erläutert verständlich und strukturiert Basiswissen zum Pessimisten unter den Philosophen, der bestehende Lehrmeinungen hinterfragte. Schopenhauer entwickelte eine Philosophie, die Erkenntnistheorie, Metaphysik, Ästhetik und Ethik miteinander verband und betrachtete sich selbst als Schüler und Vollender Immanuel Kants. Arthur Schopenhauer, ein deutscher Philosoph, wurde am 22. Februar 1788 in Danzig geboren. Sein Vater, Heinrich Floris Schopenhauer, war ein wohlhabender Kaufmann, während seine Mutter, Johanna Schopenhauer, als Schriftstellerin bekannt war. Schon früh entwickelte Arthur eine problematische Beziehung zu seiner Mutter, die sein Leben und Werk beeinflusste. Schopenhauer begann 1809 sein Studium an der Universität Göttingen, wo ihn vor allem die Werke von Immanuel Kant und Platon prägten. Kants 'Kritik der reinen Vernunft' beeinflusste ihn maßgeblich und legte den Grundstein für seine spätere Philosophie. 1811 wechselte er an die Universität Berlin, wo er Vorlesungen bei Johann Gottlieb Fichte und Friedrich Schleiermacher hörte. Fichtes Idealismus lehnte Schopenhauer jedoch ab. 1813 promovierte Schopenhauer mit seiner Dissertation 'Über die vierfache Wurzel des Satzes vom zureichenden Grunde'. Dieses Werk legte die Grundlage für sein späteres Hauptwerk 'Die Welt als Wille und Vorstellung', das er ab 1814 in Dresden verfasste und 1819 veröffentlichte. In diesem Werk entwickelte Schopenhauer die Idee, dass der Wille das zentrale Prinzip der Existenz sei und alles Leben antreibe. In den folgenden Jahren lebte Schopenhauer in Berlin, wo er Vorlesungen hielt, die jedoch wenig Beachtung fanden. Er zog sich zunehmend aus dem öffentlichen Leben zurück und verließ 1831 seine Geliebte Caroline Medon und Berlin, um der Cholera-Epidemie zu entgehen und zog nach Frankfurt am Main. Der scheue, pessimistische und frauenmeidende Schopenhauer unternahm Bildungsreisen nach Italien und in die Schweiz. In den 1830er und 1840er Jahren verfasste er mehrere kleinere Schriften, darunter 'Über den Willen in der Natur' und 'Die beiden Grundprobleme der Ethik'. Besonders 'Parerga und Paralipomena', welche 1851 erschien, brachte ihm späte Anerkennung. Besonders die klugen 'Aphorismen zur Lebensweisheit' trugen zur Popularität seiner Philosophie bei. Schopenhauers Philosophie beeinflusste wichtige Pioniere wie Friedrich Nietzsche, Richard Wagner und Sigmund Freud. Nietzsche sah in Schopenhauer einen 'Erzieher', der ihn über den Pessimismus hinausführte, während Wagner Schopenhauers Vorstellung des 'Weltwillens' in seiner eigenen Musik wiederfand. Freud nutzte Schopenhauers Konzept des unbewussten Willens zur Entwicklung seiner Psychoanalyse. Arthur Schopenhauer starb am 21. September 1860 in Frankfurt am Main. Posthum erlangte sein Werk große Anerkennung und beeinflusste nachhaltig die Philosophie, Literatur, Musik und Psychologie. Seine pessimistische Weltsicht und die Betonung des Leidens als Grundkonstante des Lebens machten ihn zu einem der bedeutendsten Philosophen der Moderne.

Title: The Private & Public Lincoln Author: Orville Victor Narrator: The Scythe, Geoffrey Giuliano Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 4 hours 47 minutes Release date: October 26, 2024 Genres: History & Culture Publisher's Summary: The Private and Public Life of Abraham Lincoln by Orville J. Victor offers a detailed look at both the personal and political sides of one of America's most iconic presidents. Published in 1864, during Lincoln's lifetime, it blends biography with commentary on his rise to prominence, his leadership during the Civil War, and his commitment to ending slavery. Victor's work reflects the contemporary views of Lincoln's presidency, capturing the tensions and hopes of the nation as it grappled with war and transformation. The book delves into Lincoln's humble beginnings, tracing his early life on the frontier, his career as a lawyer, and his growing influence in politics. It also highlights his moral convictions, humor, and deep empathy, qualities that shaped his approach to governance. On the public side, Victor emphasizes Lincoln's role in preserving the Union, his evolving stance on slavery, and the significance of the Emancipation Proclamation. Victor's narrative offers both praise and critique, making it a nuanced portrayal rather than pure hagiography. As a contemporary account, it provides readers with a unique snapshot of how Lincoln was viewed during his presidency, bridging the gap between myth and reality. Narrated by Emmy Nominated actor Geoffrey Giuliano and The Scythe.

Title: [German] - Neville Goddard - Ich kenne meinen Vater (I Know My Father 1960): Manifestieren mit dem Gesetz der Annahme nach Neville Goddard Series: #11 of Neville Goddard: Alle 14 original Bücher auf Deutsch Author: Fabio Mantegna Narrator: Konrad Lindemann Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 0 hours 55 minutes Release date: October 20, 2024 Genres: History & Culture Publisher's Summary: Neville Goddard (Deutsch): Ich kenne meinen Vater - Originaltitel: I Know My Father - aus dem Jahre 1960. Das 11. Buch von Neville Goddard über das Manifestieren mit dem Gesetz der Annahme. Ich kenne meinen Vater ist die deutsche Übersetzung von I Know My Father aus dem Jahre 1960. Es ist das 11. Buch über das Manifestieren mit dem Gesetz der Annahme, dass Neville Goddard zu seiner Zeit veröffentlicht hat. 'Neville Lancelot Goddard, der über einen autodidaktischen und ungewöhnlich scharfen Intellekt verfügte, vertrat eine kühne und umfassende spirituelle Vision: Alles was wir sehen und erleben, einschließlich anderer Menschen, sei das Ergebnis unserer eigenen Gedanken und emotionalen Zustände. Jeder von uns träumt eine Unzahl von Realitäten ins Dasein. Wenn wir Menschen das erkennen, so lehrte Neville Goddard, würden wir entdecken, dass wir ein schlummernder Zweig der Schöpfung sind, der in menschlicher Form gekleidet sei und am Ruder der unbegrenzten Möglichkeiten stehe.' - Mitch Horowitz - Neville Goddard kann am besten als erleuchteter Mystiker und Hermetiker bezeichnet werden. Sein Wunsch war es den Menschen ihre Schöpferkraft bewusstwerden zu lassen. Und dabei ging es nicht nur um das Manifestieren, sondern auch, dass die tiefgreifenden Mechanismen unseres Daseins erneut verstanden und bewusst angewendet werden können. Und dieses Wissen kann mit diesem Buch - Ich kenne meinen Vater (I Know My Father) - von Neville Goddard wieder verstanden und bewusst angewendet werden. 'Wenn der Mensch beginnt, diese Kraft in sich zu entdecken, spielt er nie mehr die Rolle, die er früher gespielt hat. Er kehrt nicht zurück nur um ein Abbild des Lebens zu werden; von nun an ist er der Urheber des Lebens.' - Neville Lancelot Goddard -

Title: The Eagle and the Hart: The Tragedy of Richard II and Henry IV Author: Helen Castor Narrator: Helen Castor Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 20 hours 5 minutes Release date: October 15, 2024 Genres: History & Culture Publisher's Summary: From an acclaimed historian and author comes an epic history: the dual biography of Richard II and Henry IV, two cousins whose lives played out in extraordinary parallel, until Henry deposed the tyrant Richard and declared himself King of England. Richard of Bordeaux and Henry of Bolingbroke, cousins born just three months apart, were ten years old when Richard became king of England. They were thirty-two when Henry deposed him and became king in his place. Now, the story behind one of the strangest and most fateful events in English history (and the inspiration behind Shakespeare's most celebrated history plays) is brought to vivid life by the acclaimed author of Blood and Roses, Helen Castor. Richard had birthright on his side, and a profound belief in his own God-given majesty. But beyond that, he lacked all qualities of leadership. A narcissist who did not understand or accept the principles that underpinned his rule, he was neither a warrior defending his kingdom, nor a lawgiver whose justice protected his people. Instead, he declared that "his laws were in his own mouth," and acted accordingly. He sought to define as treason any resistance to his will and recruited a private army loyal to himself rather than the realm—and he intended to destroy those who tried to restrain him. Henry was everything Richard was not: a leader who inspired both loyalty and friendship, a soldier and a chivalric hero, dutiful, responsible, principled. After years of tension and conflict, Richard banished him and seized his vast inheritance. Richard had been crowned a king but he had become a tyrant, and as a tyrant—ruling by arbitrary will rather than established law—he was deposed by his cousin Henry, the only possible candidate to take his place. Henry was welcomed as a liberator, a champion of the people against his predecessor's paranoid despotism. But within months he too was facing rebellion. Men knew that a deposer could in turn be deposed, and the new king found himself buffeted by unrest and by chronic ill-health until he seemed a shadow of his former self, trapped by political uncertainty and troubled by these signs that God might not, after all, endorse his actions. Captivating, immersive, and highly relevant to today's times, The Eagle and the Hart is a story about what happens when a ruler prioritizes power over the interests of his own people. When a ruler demands loyalty to himself as an individual, rather than duty to the established constitution, and when he seeks to reshape reality rather than concede the force of verifiable truths. Above all, it is a story about how a nation was brought to the brink of catastrophe and disintegration—and, in the end, how it was brought back.

Title: Radio Head Gal: a memoir of hearing loss and self-worth Author: Rebecca Knill Narrator: Carolyn Durkalski Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 9 hours 18 minutes Release date: October 3, 2024 Genres: History & Culture Publisher's Summary: "I never wanted to be hearing. I said this out loud in my TED talk, and the audience went bug-eyed, struggling to process this heresy. How could anyone not want to be hearing? I wasn't anti-hearing. I just felt my life would be simpler if everyone else were deaf." So begins the compelling story of acclaimed TED speaker Rebecca Knill as she guides us through a life shaped by hearing loss. Throughout, Knill offers eye-opening insights into disability and celebrates the power of technology to level the playing field. A provocative memoir, Radio Head Gal challenges the notion that a deaf existence is inferior, advocating instead for hearing loss to be recognized as an aspect of physical diversity similar to race or gender identity. The memoir delves into themes of adaptation, discrimination, faith, mother/daughter dysfunction, and the quest for belonging in a world that remains largely inaccessible to the d/Deaf. Growing up before accommodation laws or smart technology, Knill reflects on her life pre- and post-cochlear implant ― a surgical procedure in which computer chips replaced her sense of hearing, cyborg-style ― and the birth of her alter ego, Radio Head Gal. The book's subject is timely: hearing loss now affects 1 in 5 young people, a 30% increase since the 1990s. By 2050, hearing loss is expected to swell to 1 in 4 across all age groups worldwide. As younger generations face this reality, technological innovation must follow. With humor and insight, Knill explores themes of self-worth, communication, and the pivotal role technology plays in promoting inclusion. Recognized as a Top 25 Talk of 2020 by the TED Editors, Radio Head Gal is a vital resource to support those with hearing loss, providing intimate revelations and enlightening perspectives that cut through emotional barriers. Dive into this empowering narrative that challenges perceptions and advocates for an inclusive, technology-driven future, regardless of ability differences.

Title: George Orwell Aldous Huxley: Two Who Knew The Future Author: Geoffrey Giuliano Narrator: Geoffrey Giuliano Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 2 hours 53 minutes Release date: September 30, 2024 Genres: History & Culture Publisher's Summary: George Orwell and Aldous Huxley are often compared due to their explorations of dystopian futures, totalitarianism, and the loss of individual freedom. Despite their distinct approaches—Orwell's 1984 focuses on a brutal, repressive regime, while Huxley's Brave New World presents a society controlled by pleasure and consumerism—both authors envision futures where human autonomy is eroded under authoritarian structures. Their works reflect a fear of dehumanization, where citizens are either subjugated through surveillance and violence or lulled into complacency by engineered happiness and distraction. At the heart of both Orwell's and Huxley's visions is a concern about the manipulation of truth. In 1984, truth is constantly reshaped to serve the interests of the ruling Party, with history being rewritten and language reduced to limit thought (through Newspeak). In Brave New World, truth is not concealed or distorted in the same violent manner, but becomes irrelevant, submerged beneath a flood of shallow pleasures and distractions that prevent people from caring about deeper realities. Both perspectives highlight a potential outcome of the erosion of critical thought in society. Their relevance today stems from ongoing debates over technology, state power, and media manipulation. Orwell's insights into surveillance and authoritarianism resonate in discussions about government overreach, privacy, and the dangers of centralized power, especially in the digital age. Meanwhile, Huxley's vision of control through pleasure and distraction feels prophetic in the context of consumerism, media saturation, and the increasing influence of entertainment and technology on human behavior.

Title: Orwell: The Man Who Saw The Future Author: Geoffrey Giuliano Narrator: Geoffrey Giuliano Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 3 hours 35 minutes Release date: September 30, 2024 Genres: History & Culture Publisher's Summary: George Orwell remains a visionary author whose works are incredibly relevant today, as his insightful critiques of totalitarianism, surveillance, and the manipulation of truth resonate with our modern world. In books like 1984 and Animal Farm, Orwell warned of the dangers of unchecked government power, propaganda, and the erosion of individual freedoms—issues that are evident in current societal and political dynamics. His concept of 'Big Brother' is often used to describe the pervasive monitoring of citizens, while his ideas about 'newspeak' and 'doublethink' echo in the era of misinformation and polarized narratives. Orwell's ability to depict the fragility of truth and the importance of intellectual freedom makes his work enduringly significant. Orwell was a British author known for his profound political insights and sharp critiques of totalitarian regimes. His novels 1984 and Animal Farm explore themes of power, control, and the dangers of oppressive governments. Orwell's works continue to be relevant, highlighting issues like surveillance, propaganda, and the loss of individual freedoms. Included here is a complete biography, and interviews with Orwell, his family friends, and fellow scholars. As a bonus, Emmy-nominated actor Geoffrey Giuliano reads several of his most fascinating short stores. It's Everything Orwell for Anybody that needs to know, Two years in the making!

Title: [German] - Goldene Berge: Eine Autobiografie zwischen Krieg und tiefem inneren Frieden Author: Shokhan Kamil Narrator: Uschy Pip Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 4 hours 14 minutes Release date: September 29, 2024 Genres: History & Culture Publisher's Summary: Shokhan Shokhan kommt 1980 als ältestes von fünf Kindern in der kurdisch-irakischen Stadt Sulaimaniya zur Welt. Nach dem Tod des Großvaters reisen die Eltern mit den Geschwistern überstürzt nach Europa und lassen die Erstgeborene bei Großmutter Daya zurück. Das Mädchen betrachtet oft den im Abendlicht golden leuchtenden Gebirgskamm im Norden der Stadt. Wo dahinter mochte ihre Familie jetzt wohl leben? Ihre Onkel kämpfen mit den Peshmerga in den Bergen für ein autonomes Kurdistan und sind Zielscheibe des irakischen Regimes. Nach Giftgasangriffen flüchtet Daya mit Shokhan in den benachbarten Iran, wo sich die beiden vor der Sittenpolizei in Acht nehmen müssen, aber zum Glück Zuflucht bei Verwandten finden. Mit den Golfkriegen verschärft sich die Situation der Kurden und demzufolge auch die Existenznot von Großmutter und Enkelin. Der Vater steht eines Nachts plötzlich vor der Tür. Die Dreizehnjährige muss sich innerhalb von Stunden zwischen einem sicheren Leben im unbekannten Österreich und dem bedrohlichen Alltag bei der geliebten, aber betagten Daya entscheiden. Niemand wartet in der neuen Welt auf Shokhan. Die Kluft zwischen ihr und den Eltern ist zu groß, um in der eigenen Familie eine neue Heimat zu finden. Als hätte die Jugendliche nicht schon genug Baustellen mit ihrer körperlichen Veränderung und dem familiären Bruch, muss sie sich als Fremde mit einer neuen Sprache, mit Rivalitäten, mit einem anderen Schulsystem und der Berufswahl auseinandersetzen. Es erstaunt wenig, dass sie in schlechte Gesellschaft und an Substanzen gerät, die ihr helfen, der nackten Realität zu entfliehen. Shokhan wird heroinabhängig und landet tief verschuldet am Rand des Abgrunds. Dank eisernem Willen, Musik, spirituellen Erfahrungen und der Hilfe von Freundinnen schafft es Shokhan schließlich über einen langen, steinigen Weg zurück ins Leben. 'Ich möchte Menschen mit meiner Stimme berühren.' Shokhans Biografie ist eine Motivationsgeschichte. Sie zeigt auf, dass Liegenbleiben keine Option ist. Shokhan sieht sich nie als Opfer, sondern sucht und findet unter allen Umständen Kraftquellen, die sie anzapfen kann und die ihr helfen, sich aufzurichten und in kleinen Schritten ihren Lebenszielen entgegenzugehen. Shokhan kennt Orient und Okzident und versteht sich als Brückenbauerin zwischen den Kulturen. Als Frau, als Kurdin und als «Free Spirit» erlebt sie, was es bedeutet, in patriarchalen Strukturen ihre höchsten Werte zu verteidigen und bis heute hochzuhalten: Würde, Selbstbestimmung und Freiheit.

Schwartz Narrator: Will Tulin Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 12 hours 16 minutes Release date: September 24, 2024 Genres: History & Culture Publisher's Summary: A groundbreaking new look at an American icon, The Wizard of Oz. Finding Oz tells the remarkable tale behind one of the world's most enduring and best loved stories. Offering profound new insights into the true origins and meaning of L. Frank Baum's 1900 masterwork, it delves into the personal turmoil and spiritual transformation that fueled Baum's fantastical parable of the American Dream. Prior to becoming an impresario of children's adventure tales—the J. K. Rowling of his age—Baum failed at a series of careers and nearly lost his soul before setting out on a journey of discovery that would lead to the Land of Oz. Drawing on original research, Evan Schwartz debunks popular misconceptions and shows how the people, places, and events in Baum's life gave birth to his unforgettable images and characters. The Yellow Brick Road was real, the Emerald City evoked the Chicago World's Fair of 1893, and Baum's mother-in-law, the radical women's rights leader Matilda Joslyn Gage, inspired his dual view of witches—as good and wicked. A narrative that sweeps across late nineteenth-century America, Finding Oz ultimately reveals how failure and heartbreak can sometimes lead to redemption and bliss, and how one individual can ignite the imagination of the entire world.

Title: Eden Undone: A True Story of Sex, Murder, and Utopia at the Dawn of World War II Author: Abbott Kahler Narrator: Cassandra Campbell Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 9 hours 53 minutes Release date: September 24, 2024 Genres: True Crime Publisher's Summary: An incredible true story of murder, romance, and a fateful search for utopia in the Galápagos—from the New York Times bestselling author of The Ghosts of Eden Park “Abbott Kahler’s wickedly gothic tale confronts an essential truth about those who ditch civilization: Try as we might, humans cannot elude the tyranny of our own nature.”—Hampton Sides, author of The Wide Wide Sea “With taut prose and sublime storytelling, Kahler crafts an atmospheric page-turner, ominous and thought-provoking.”—Kate Moore, author of The Radium Girls and The Woman They Could Not Silence At the height of the Great Depression, Los Angeles oil mogul George Allan Hancock and his crew of Smithsonian scientists came upon a gruesome scene: two bodies, mummified by the searing heat, on the shore of a remote Galápagos island. For the past four years Hancock and other American elites had traveled the South Seas to collect specimens for scientific research. On one trip to the Galápagos, Hancock was surprised to discover an equally exotic group of humans: European exiles who had fled political and economic unrest, hoping to create a utopian paradise. One was so devoted to a life of isolation that he’d had his teeth extracted and replaced with a set of steel dentures. As Hancock and his fellow American explorers would witness, paradise had turned into chaos. The three sets of exiles—a Berlin doctor and his lover, a traumatized World War I veteran and his young family, and an Austrian baroness with two adoring paramours—were riven by conflict. Petty slights led to angry confrontations. The baroness, wielding a riding crop and pearl-handled revolver, staged physical fights between her two lovers and unabashedly seduced American tourists. The conclusion was deadly: with two exiles missing and two others dead, the survivors hurled accusations of murder. Using never-before-published archives, Abbott Kahler weaves a chilling, stranger-than-fiction tale worthy of Agatha Christie. Set against the backdrop of the Great Depression and the march to World War II, with a mystery as alluring and curious as the Galápagos itself, Eden Undone explores the universal and timeless desire to seek utopia—and lays bare the human fallibility that, inevitably, renders such a quest doomed.

Title: Squanto: A Native Odyssey Author: Andrew Lipman Narrator: David Colacci Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 8 hours 59 minutes Release date: September 17, 2024 Genres: History & Culture Publisher's Summary: Taken to Europe as a slave, he found his way home and changed the course of American history American schoolchildren have long learned about Squanto, the welcoming Native who made the First Thanksgiving possible, but his story goes deeper than the holiday legend. Born in the Wampanoag-speaking town of Patuxet in the late 1500s, Squanto was kidnapped in 1614 by an English captain, who took him to Spain. From there, Englishmen brought him to London and Newfoundland before sending him home in 1619, when Squanto discovered that most of Patuxet had died in an epidemic. A year later, the Mayflower colonists arrived at his home and renamed it Plymouth. Prize-winning historian Andrew Lipman explores the mysteries that still surround Squanto: How did he escape bondage and return home? Why did he help the English after an Englishman enslaved him? Why did he threaten Plymouth's fragile peace with its neighbors? Was it true that he converted to Christianity on his deathbed? Drawing from a wide range of evidence and newly uncovered sources, Lipman reconstructs Squanto's upbringing, his transatlantic odyssey, his career as an interpreter, his surprising downfall, and his enigmatic death. The result is a fresh look at an epic life that ended right when many Americans think their story begins.

Title: Whispers of Betrayal: Love Letters That Changed Everything Author: Adela Edgecombe Narrator: Mary Ann Nichols Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 9 hours 16 minutes Release date: September 13, 2024 Genres: History & Culture Publisher's Summary: On a journey of discovery into her parents history of love and fame in war torn Italy, Adela Edgecombe discovered a secret deception within love letters and from family who had been tight-lipped about the scandals for decades. Bestselling author Jincy Willett describes the story as follows: 'Since every human personality is at root mysterious, all families present us with an abundance of mysteries, the chief of which is often how marriages ever happened in the first place. In her family memoir, Adela Edgecombe tackles that mystery head-on, uncovering a web of circumstances peculiar to place and time. The place is the Province of Salerno, Italy; the time,1944, the depths of World War II. A young American GI meets an impoverished Italian family, grows to care for them, and, as he leaves for the front, promises a nine-year-old child that one day he will return and help them. And does the man, against all odds, keep that promise? Judging from the fairy-tale wedding that took place in Passiano in 1951 and was featured in Life Magazine, it would seem so. 'Edgecombe explores that fairy tale moment, how it came to pass, and what followed after. She digs fearlessly into the mystery of an unhappy marriage that began with such photogenic joy and hope. Read Whispers of Betrayal for a well-researched, surprising, and moving tale which reminds us that the casualties of war are many and varied.'

Title: The Sangamon Story: Selected Readings from Francis Grierson's, The Valley of Shadows Author: Francis Grierson Narrator: Kirk Laughead Format: Abridged Audiobook Length: 2 hours 37 minutes Release date: September 6, 2024 Genres: History & Culture Publisher's Summary: Francis Grierson's, The Valley of Shadows, is truly a lost American classic. Written at the dawn of the twentieth century, the author has remarkably captured his adventures and observations as a child growing up on the prairies of Illinois in the years leading up the Civil War, in a region that was neither North nor South; neither for slavery nor against it; and how their small family farm became an unscheduled stop on the Underground Railroad. Written in an authentic vernacular of the time, and populated by larger than life characters, Grierson has woven a tale of excitement and mystery, set in a second Garden of Eden of wildlife and nature. The prose and dialogue is like Shakespeare of the prairie. It reads like a cross between Tom Sawyer and Uncle Tom's Cabin, and stands out among all of the other books written about that era. What people are saying: "It has a quality not to be found in any other writing about the Civil War;' 'Its prose is alive, strong, subtle, of warm color, almost overpowering;' 'No one can read it, without finding new enlightenment about our past."

Title: Rise Above: My 500 Days of Faith, Forgiveness, and Fighting Back Author: Steve Zakuani Narrator: Steve Zakuani Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 6 hours 42 minutes Release date: September 3, 2024 Genres: History & Culture Publisher's Summary: Loss. Defeat. Hardship. Suffering. Pain. They're at the center of the experience of being human. And yet, these experiences can cripple-unless they result in strength. When a sudden accident resulted in multiple fractures to his leg and threatened to take him out of soccer permanently, Steve Zakuani faced his biggest challenge yet. The road to his soccer success hadn't merely involved athletic challenges; in the years leading up to his position with the Seattle Sounders, Zakuani had overcome an upbringing in one of London's roughest neighborhoods, battled personal apathy, and learned to not only walk but run after an accident that left doctors without hope for his future in soccer. He found renewed purpose through the influence of a mentor and, through that mentor, found his purpose in God's call on his life. Yet his early challenges began to look small after Zakuani suffered another injury that broke his leg-and, this time, threatened his career. That injury-and the 500 days of recovery before he returned to the field-forced him to grapple with who he was when his identity in soccer and his personal goals were taken out of his hands. This book, drawn from journals written during his recovery, gives readers a raw, honest look into Zakuanis story-and coach readers how to face tragedy with a positive mindset, how to set goals that are bigger than their adversity, how to remain hopeful in their darkest moments, and how to help others in their life overcome their own adversities. Includes a study guide to aid in personal reflection or group discussion

Title: Other Rivers: A Chinese Education Author: Peter Hessler Narrator: Peter Hessler Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 13 hours 31 minutes Release date: August 29, 2024 Genres: History & Culture Publisher's Summary: More than twenty years after teaching English to China's first boom generation at a small college in Sichuan Province, Peter Hessler returned to teach the next generation. At the same time, Hessler's twin daughters became the only Westerners in a student body of about two thousand in their local primary school. Through reconnecting with his previous students now in their forties - members of China's 'Reform generation' - and teaching his current undergraduates, Hessler is able to tell an intimately unique story about China's incredible transformation over the past quarter-century. In the late 1990s, almost all of Hessler's students were the first of their families to enrol in higher education, sons and daughters of subsistence farmers who could offer little guidance as their children entered a brand-new world. By 2019, when Hessler arrived at Sichuan University, he found a very different China and a new kind of student - an only child whose schooling was the object of intense focus from a much more ambitious and sophisticated cohort of parents. Hessler's new students have a sense of irony about the regime but mostly navigate its restrictions with equanimity, and embrace the astonishing new opportunities China's boom affords. But the pressures of this system of extreme 'meritocracy' at scale can be gruesome, even for much younger children, including his own daughters, who give him a first-hand view of raising a child in China. In Peter Hessler's hands, China's education system is the perfect vehicle for examining what's happened to the country, where it's going, and what we can learn from it. At a time when relations between the UK and China fracture, Other Rivers is a tremendous, indeed an essential gift, a work of enormous human empathy that rejects cheap stereotypes and shows us China from the inside out and the bottom up, using as a measuring stick this most universally relatable set of experiences. As both a window onto China and a distant mirror onto our own education system, Other Rivers is a classic, a book of tremendous value and compelling human interest.

Title: Bernhard Sindberg: The Schindler of Nanjing Author: Peter Harmsen Narrator: Tom Campbell Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 6 hours 49 minutes Release date: July 30, 2024 Genres: Military Publisher's Summary: In December 1937, the Chinese capital, Nanjing, falls and the Japanese army unleash an orgy of torture, murder, and rape. Over the course of six weeks, hundreds of thousands of civilians and prisoners of war are killed. At the very onset of the atrocities, the Danish supervisor at a cement plant just outside the city, 26-year-old Bernhard Arp Sindberg, opens the factory gates and welcomes in 10,000 Chinese civilians to safety. He becomes an Asian equivalent of Oskar Schindler, the savior of Jews in the Holocaust. This biography follows Sindberg from his childhood and on his first adventures as a sailor and a Foreign Legionnaire to the 104 days as a rescuer of thousands of helpless men, women, and children in the darkest hour of the Sino-Japanese War. After his remarkable achievement, he receded back into obscurity, spending decades at sea and becoming a naturalized American citizen, before dying of old age in Los Angeles in 1983. The book sets the record straight by providing the first complete account of Sindberg's life in English. What emerges is the surprising tale of a person who was average in every respect but rose to the occasion when faced with unimaginable brutality, discovering an inner strength and courage that transformed him into one of the great humanitarian figures of the twentieth century and an inspiration for our modern age.

Title: Being Hindu Being Indian: Lala Lajpat Rai’s Ideas of Nationhood Author: Vanya Vaidehi Bhargava Narrator: Vasundhara Bose Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 19 hours 30 minutes Release date: July 30, 2024 Genres: History & Culture Publisher's Summary: In popular imagination, Lala Lajpat Rai is frequently associated with Bhagat Singh, who, by assassinating J.P. Saunders, avenged Rai’ s death, caused by a police lathi charge, and was hanged for it. Lajpat Rai is also remembered for his fervent opposition to British rule.In recent decades, however, historians have converged with the Hindu Right in rediscovering Lajpat Rai as an ideological ancestor of Hindutva. But what then explains Rai’ s wholehearted approval of the Congress– Muslim League cooperation, and attempt to endow Hindus and Muslims with bonds of common belonging? Why did he reinterpret India’ s medieval history to highlight peaceful coexistence between Hindus and Muslims? Have our hasty conclusions about Lajpat Rai’ s nationalist thought concealed its complexities and distorted our understanding of nationalism in general?Meticulously researched and eloquently written, Being Hindu, Being Indian offers the first comprehensive examination of Lajpat Rai’ s nationalist thought. By revealing the complexities of Rai’ s thinking, it provokes us to think more deeply about broader questions relevant to present-day politics: Are all expressions of ‘ Hindu nationalism’ the same as Hindutva? What are the similarities and differences between ‘ Hindu’ and ‘ Indian’ nationalism? Can communalism and secularism be expressed together? How should we understand fluidity in politics? This book invites readers to treat Lajpat Rai’ s ideas as a gateway to think more deeply about history, politics, religious identity and nationhood.

Title: Wu: The Chinese Empress Who Schemed, Seduced and Murdered Her Way to Become a Living God Author: Jonathan Clements Narrator: Kathleen Li Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 7 hours 4 minutes Release date: July 30, 2024 Genres: History & Culture Publisher's Summary: Empress Wu Zetian (624-705 AD) was the only woman to be the sovereign ruler of imperial China. A teenage concubine of the Tang Emperor Taizong, she seduced his son while the emperor lay dying. Recalled from a nunnery as part of an intricate court power-game, she caused the deaths of two lady rivals, before securing her enthronement as the Emperor Gaozong's consort. She ruled in the name of her husband and two eldest sons, presiding over the pinnacle of the Silk Road, before proclaiming herself the founder of a new dynasty. Worshipped as the Sage Mother of Mankind and reviled as the Treacherous Fox, she was deposed aged 79, after angry courtiers murdered her two young lovers. The subject of countless books, plays, and films, Empress Wu remains a feminist icon and a bugbear of Chinese conservatism. Jonathan Clements weighs the evidence of her life and legacy: so charismatic that she could rise from nothing to the height of medieval power, so hated that her own children left her tombstone blank.

Title: Alpine Rising: Sherpas, Baltis, and the Triumph of Local Climbers in the Greater Ranges Author: Bernadette Mcdonald Narrator: Lisa S. Ware Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 10 hours 34 minutes Release date: July 30, 2024 Genres: History & Culture Publisher's Summary: 'Alpine Rising is a fascinating history of the crucial and frequently tragic role of local Nepalis, Tibetans, and Pakistanis on mountaineering expeditions to the world's highest peaks.' —Jon Krakauer The name of Maurice Herzog, the first man to reach the summit of Annapurna, is widely recognized, but how many know Ang Tharkay, the Sherpa who carried the seriously frostbitten Herzog on his back for miles? Although rarely mentioned in published accounts of early expeditions, local climbers have long been significant members of first ascents on the world's tallest and most challenging peaks. In Alpine Rising, award-winning writer Bernadette McDonald sets the record straight by shining a light on these too often forgotten heroes. Now, in the twenty-first century, it is often local climbers who are setting records. A Nepali team was the first to climb K2 in winter; they reached the summit while singing their national anthem. Pakistani climbers like Little Karim and Ali Sadpara devoted their lives to helping others survive and succeed on and off the mountains and their stories deserve to be more widely known. Not only a timely reminder of the need to recognize the contributions of local climbers and the importance of correcting the historical record, Alpine Rising is a celebration of a region's local heroes.

Darby Ph.D. Narrator: Dr. Lloyd C. Darby Ph.D. Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 3 hours 57 minutes Release date: July 26, 2024 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 5 of Total 1 Genres: History & Culture Publisher's Summary: I wrote this book because I wanted the world to know the story of my special needs son Lloyd C. Darby lll. Affectionately known as DJ, which stands for Darby Junior. When people triumph over their circumstances as my wife and I have, there are usually hidden lessons others can benefit from contained within the events. However, if we don’t share our stories with the world, no one will ever hear about them. That’s why it is so important to share our successes, and failures, to let others know they are not alone. Rather, a part of a bigger picture that is so significant, their message alone has the power to set people free. Whether through books, video, television, or the radio, we must communicate our thoughts and promote ideas and principles that produce a better society for all people. Due to the painful memories, and recreating various parts of my true story, I needed to make this book simple to understand. It is my sincere effort that this information can be absorbed quickly and to the point.

Title: Our Daily War Author: Andrey Kurkov Narrator: Andrey Kurkov Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 13 hours 54 minutes Release date: July 18, 2024 Genres: History & Culture Publisher's Summary: The determination of the Ukrainian armed forces and entire population of the country have won the admiration of the civilised world. They are often forced to live without water, without electricity; schools and kindergartens are frequently held below ground, whole cities have been shattered by artillery fire, by drone assaults; fields and towns have been changed forever by an almost unthinkable quantity of mines. But what is beyond question is that Ukraine will not be defeated by the Russian forces, will never give in, and will, in time, rebuild their peoples' shattered lives. Weaving his own personal story with that of his countrymen, those fighting the war on land, sea and air, and other displaced Ukrainians, Our Daily War is a deeply personal and profound account of the war in Ukraine, and a portrait of a defiant, irrepressible nation facing immeasurable crisis.

Das 9. Buch von Neville Goddard über das Manifestieren mit dem Gesetz der Annahme. Die erwachte Vorstellungskraft ist die deutsche Übersetzung von Awakened Imagination aus dem Jahre 1954. Es ist das 9. Buch über das Manifestieren mit dem Gesetz der Annahme, dass Neville Goddard zu seiner Zeit veröffentlicht hat. 'Neville Lancelot Goddard, der über einen autodidaktischen und ungewöhnlich scharfen Intellekt verfügte, vertrat eine kühne und umfassende spirituelle Vision: Alles was wir sehen und erleben, einschließlich anderer Menschen, sei das Ergebnis unserer eigenen Gedanken und emotionalen Zustände. Jeder von uns träumt eine Unzahl von Realitäten ins Dasein. Wenn wir Menschen das erkennen, so lehrte Neville Goddard, würden wir entdecken, dass wir ein schlummernder Zweig der Schöpfung sind, der in menschlicher Form gekleidet sei und am Ruder der unbegrenzten Möglichkeiten stehe.' - Mitch Horowitz - Neville Goddard kann am besten als erleuchteter Mystiker und Hermetiker bezeichnet werden. Sein Wunsch war es den Menschen ihre Schöpferkraft bewusstwerden zu lassen. Und dabei ging es nicht nur um das Manifestieren, sondern auch, dass die tiefgreifenden Mechanismen unseres Daseins erneut verstanden und bewusst angewendet werden können. Und dieses Wissen kann mit diesem Buch - Die erwachte Vorstellungskraft (Awakened Imagination) - von Neville Goddard wieder verstanden und bewusst angewendet werden. 'Wenn der Mensch beginnt, diese Kraft in sich zu entdecken, spielt er nie mehr die Rolle, die er früher gespielt hat. Er kehrt nicht zurück nur um ein Abbild des Lebens zu werden; von nun an ist er der Urheber des Lebens.' - Neville Lancelot Goddard -

Title: The Dangerous Life and Ideas of Diogenes The Cynic Author: Jean-Manuel Roubineau Narrator: James Cameron Stewart Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 4 hours 30 minutes Release date: July 16, 2024 Genres: History & Culture Publisher's Summary: The ancient philosopher Diogenes—nicknamed 'The Dog' and decried by Plato as a 'Socrates gone mad'—was widely praised and idealized as much as he was mocked and vilified. A favorite subject of sculptors and painters since the Renaissance, his notoriety is equally due to his eccentric behavior, scorn of conventions, and biting aphorisms, and to the role he played in the creation of the Cynic school, which flourished from the 4th century B.C. to the Christian era. Jean-Manuel Roubineau paints a new portrait of an atypical philosopher whose life left an indelible mark on the Western collective imagination and whose philosophy courses through various schools of thought well beyond antiquity. Roubineau sifts through the many legends and apocryphal stories that surround the life of Diogenes. Was he a counterfeiter? Did he meet Alexander the Great? Was he an apologist for incest, patricide, and anthropophagy? How did he actually die? Roubineau retraces the known facts of Diogenes' existence. Beyond the rehashed clichés, this book inspires us to rediscover Diogenes' philosophical legacy—whether it be the challenge to the established order, the detachment from materialism, the choice of a return to nature, or the formulation of a cosmopolitan ideal strongly rooted in the belief that virtue is better revealed in action than in theory.

Title: Seeing the Good In It Author: Phil Zielke Narrator: Phil Zielke Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 3 hours 32 minutes Release date: July 16, 2024 Genres: History & Culture Publisher's Summary: WHERE IS HOPE FOUND IN TIMES OF DEEP SUFFERING?   At the age of twenty-two, Phil Z was diagnosed with stage 4 Hodgkin's Lymphoma. Instead of starting his new career as a fourth-grade teacher and getting engaged to the love of his life, he experienced uncertainty and despair in the face of tests, surgeries, appointments, medications, and a myriad of devastating symptoms caused by both cancer and treatment.   In your darkest times, who is there for you? What is your source of strength and peace? What promises can you cling to that actually bring hope? These are the questions Phil wrestled with as he learned that his determination and self-confidence were no longer enough. This wrestling led him to a greater intimacy with God and a desire to help others in similar situations. This is how Phil's Friends—a ministry that sends cards and care packages to those with cancer—was born.   With reflection questions at the end of each chapter, Phil encourages readers to see God's hand in the story of their lives and discover the good in even life's most difficult circumstances.
