Gunfight: The Battle over the Right to Bear Arms in America , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 773min

A provocative history that reveals how guns - not abortion, race, or religion - are at the heart of America's cultural divide. Gunfight promises to be a seminal work in its examination of America's four-centuries-long political battle over gun control and the right to bear arms. In the tradition of Gideon's Trumpet, Adam Winkler uses the landmark 2008 case District of Columbia v. Heller, which invalidated a law banning handguns in the nation's capital, as a springboard for a groundbreaking historical narrative. From the Founding Fathers and the Second Amendment to the origins of the Klan, ironically as a gun control organization, the debate over guns has always generated controversy. Whether examining the Black Panthers' role in provoking the modern gun rights movement or Ronald Reagan's efforts to curtail gun ownership, Winkler brilliantly weaves together the dramatic stories of gun rights advocates and gun control lobbyists, providing often unexpected insights into the venomous debate that now cleaves our nation. ungekürzt.

Hollingsworth v. Perry, Hörbuch, Digital, 90min

In 2000, the citizens of California passed Proposition 22, which affirmed a legal understanding that marriage was a union between one man and one woman. In 2008, the California Supreme Court held that the California Constitution required the term “marriage” to include the union of same-sex couples and invalidated Proposition 22. Later in 2008, California citizens passed Proposition 8, which amended the California Constitution to provide that “only marriage between a man and a woman is valid or recognized by California.” The respondents, a gay couple and a lesbian couple, sued the state officials responsible for the enforcement of California’s marriage laws and claimed that Proposition 8 violated their Fourteenth Amendment right to equal protection of the law. When the state officials originally named in the suit informed the district court that they could not defend Proposition 8, the petitioners, official proponents of the measure, intervened to defend it. The district court held that Proposition 8 violated the Constitution, and the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit affirmed. Language: English. Narrator: uncredited.

The Misunderstood Loner: An Explanation of Schizoid Personality Disorder: Transcend Mediocrity, Book 16 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 30min

Excerpt: You may have seen them. Maybe you are one of them. The teens who prefer to be alone and who avoid making social connections with their peers. The adult who stays in his basement playing videogames or browsing the Internet. The little boy who chases frogs at the pond by himself instead of finding some friends to go fishing with. Maybe it is the woman who surrounds herself with cats and lives deep in the country, rarely venturing into town - even for necessities. Are these people shy, or do they have something that is much more pervasive? Humans, by nature, generally want to be social with others. We thrive on conversation, interaction, and learning from each other. We were designed to be able to pass along our knowledge to the generations that come after us, and we strive to educate ourselves in order to be more sufficient and able to provide for our families or become productive members of society. There is a subset of people who are different from the normal population. Their brains are wired a bit differently, or they went through experiences in their lives that contributed to their introversion, social avoidance, and shyness. They may have been sensitive children who were neglected or abused, never encouraged to learn about the world around them. Their feelings may have been invalidated while they were young, so they learned to keep their emotions inside instead of sharing them with others around them. They learned to be self-sufficient instead of relying on others and on society for their needs. Some of these shy individuals who we classify as loners may be afflicted with a disorder called schizoid personality disorder...." From four-time best-selling author J. B. Snow. ungekürzt.

Narcissist and the Wendy Complex: The Women Who Are Attracted to the Narcissistic 'Peter Pan': Transcend Mediocrity, Book 93 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 21min

Many people have heard about the Peter Pan Syndrome. Dr. Dan Kiley used the term in his book The Peter Pan Syndrome: Men Who Have Never Grown Up. He fondly referred to the women who were involved with these Peter Pan types as Wendy, Wendy Complex, or Wendy Syndrome. Others have even coined the epidemic of Wendy as the Wendy Club. Wendy is the character in the Peter Pan story who falls head over heels hopelessly and romantically in love with Peter Pan, even though he will never be a suitable partner for her. Peter Pan doesn't feel love, and so he only holds an immature fondness and curiosity of the girl who is so smitten with him. Such is the plight of the girls who are attracted to the immature man. I have many such women write to me on a regular basis. They touch my heart as an author, and because I know their stories all too well. As women, our heads tell us one thing - that our man is too immature to be a good relationship partner. But our hearts are filled with awe and wonder and curiosity about him. Women dream of the knight in shining armor coming to rescue us from our boring lives. Women fall for small gestures and charismatic smiles and the visions in their heads of the perfect family in a little house with the white picket fence. There are many reasons why we choose to be a Wendy. Many of us have grown up in homes where we were emotionally invalidated in some way. This could be because our parents were neglectful or abusive or intrusive or overindulgent. This could be due to our fathers being rigid and inflexible about our behavior or unsupportive of our goals in life. We might have been born with an especially sensitive temperament due to the makeup of our genes and our DNA. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Michael Hanko.

What Love Really Feels Like: Learning Thyself, Book 11 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 22min

What does love really feel like? I pondered this question more than I have pondered nearly every other question in my life. I looked for love in all the wrong places for much of my life. I didn’t know what love was. I thought love meant sex. I thought it meant physical affection. I thought it meant that you picked someone and built a life together. I thought love meant saying your vows to someone else. I thought it meant making a commitment. Later in life, an ice storm and a miscarriage and a lawsuit would ultimately make me experience what love really was. It pushed all the boundaries of what my prior experiences had been. I thought it was an automatic thing between a mother and her child. I thought fathers automatically loved their children, too. My mother didn’t love me. Not really. She didn’t love me the way I needed to feel love. She didn’t love me in ways that I recognized or defined love. This left me not feeling loved by her at all. People always said, "Your mother loves you in her own way." She loves you in the way an addict can love someone. She loves her substances more than she loves you. She loves her job more than she loves you. She loves your dad more than she loves you. She loves your sister more than she loves you. Occasionally, I would hear her say "I love you" behind her drugged and alcohol-induced sobbing. She would send me some nonsensical sappy love song in a video from Youtube. Those song lyrics meant something to her mind when she had dementia. She tried to portray her love through them, but I still never felt loved by her. After all, she had done so many things that made me feel unloved. She had hurt me so many times. I’m sure some of the people in your life made you feel unloved, too. Then, they made you feel guilty and crazy for feeling invalidated and unloved. After all, they were trying to portray their love in some language they understand. Why couldn’t you just get the mes ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Landon Forrest. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/206492/bk_acx0_206492_sample.mp3. Digital audiobook in aax.

The Slaughter of the Jews in the Ukraine in 1919 (eBook, ePUB)

The Ukrainian pogroms of 1919 constitute a striking exhibition of mass savagery. Approximately 120,000 men, women and children were killed; whole villages were wiped out; the entire Jewish population of southern Russia was reduced to the brink of complete destruction. But Dr. Heifetz is not content merely to set down a tale of horrors. He seeks to analyze the social and psychological factors which lie behind this explosion of wholesale murder. He discovers three separate sets of motives, which hold good for the three classes of pogroms, those committed by Denikin, those committed by Petlura, and those committed by the Ukrainian guerilla leaders. The political viewpoint of General Denikin, widely hailed in western Europe and America as a champion of democracy against Bolshevik tyranny, was very simple. He believed that all the troubles of Russia should be ascribed to the overthrow of the Tsar, which, in his opinion, was brought about by the intrigues of Jews and professional revolutionists. His remedy was correspondingly simple. Kill off as many Jews and revolutionists as possible. Then the peasants would gladly surrender their land ; the workers would hasten to give up their factories; all classes again be well with Holy Russia. Something miscarried in Denikin's calculations: for the Red Army routed his Cossacks near Orel; and his defeat was completed by tumultuary uprisings of the Ukrainian peasants in his rear. But, before he was obliged to seek a hospitable refuge in England, he enjoyed the satisfaction of killing about 50,000 Jews. Dr. Heifetz adduces many eye witness reports of pogroms committed by Denikin's troops, together with specimens of the violently anti-Semitic literature distributed by order of his propaganda department. The case of the Ukrainian nationalist leader, Petlura, is somewhat different. Petlura claimed to be a Socialist; and he can scarcely have regarded pogroms as a necessary part of his political and economic policy. But he was unable to resist the temptation to make political capital by denouncing "the Jews at Moscow" and to attract the ruffianly elements to his side by offering prospects of unlimited looting. The protestations of Petlura's apologists that he actively opposed anti- Jewish outrages are effectively invalidated by the number of massacres unquestionably committed by his troops, by his appointment of a notorious organizer of pogroms, Colonel Petrov, to the post of Minister of War, and by the fact that he was present at a pogrom in Zhitomir without making any effort to stop it. Such bandit leaders as Makhno and Grigoriev may be considered, in a very crude and direct sense, representatives of the economic desires and interests of the Ukrainian peasants. These peasants were very good Bolsheviki, so far as driving out the landlords was concerned. But, having gained possession of the land, they resented and opposed the existence of any strong central government, whether communist or monarchist. What they wanted was complete freedom of their manufactured goods, and incidentally, to murder the Jews. Of all the contending factions the Soviet government alone consistently and vigorously repressed every anti- Jewish manifestation in the territory under its control. Dr. Heifetz gives many instances of the humanity and discipline of the Red troops. Whenever the Soviet forces were compelled to retreat even the Jewish bourgeoisie fled with them for protection.
