    Beyond Westminster: Lessons Learnt from Coalitions Past (BBC Radio 4), Hörbuch, Digital, 27min
    The special New Year's Day 2011 edition of BBC Radio 4's 'Beyond Westminster', in which Andrew Rawnsley considers the lessons of history for Britain's coalition government - and its opponents. Conservative and Liberal Democrat ministers are busily advancing their ambitious political and economic agenda - albeit amid parliamentary revolts and embarrassing comments to undercover reporters. Exactly a hundred years ago too, no party had an outright majority at Westminster, and a Liberal government relied on Irish Nationalists and a fledgling Labour Party to enact reform of Parliament, a radical budget and social changes. Lloyd George continued in coalition with the Conservatives after World War One only for peacetime tensions within the government to culminate in the ejection from Downing Street of Britain's last Liberal prime minister, amid mass disaffection with Liberal splits. Can Nick Clegg avoid a similar fate befalling today's Liberal Democrats? Seven months into 'new politics', Andrew Rawnsley explores with historians Juliet Nicolson and Martin Pugh the record of past coalitions. He also discusses with The Rt. Hon. David Davis MP, Simon Hughes MP and Tristram Hunt MP the lessons of the past and questions whether this coalition will re-shape British politics. Language: English. Narrator: uncredited.

And, oh yeah, a faithful husband would have been nice, too. Reeling from her husband's cheating and desertion, Katie embarks on a one-night fling with professional golfer Dario Luna. Never could she have imagined that one night with Dario would give her something fifteen years of marriage couldn't - morning sickness. Dario was raised without a father, and he has no intention of the same fate befalling his child. He's still not sure about Katie, though. Did she trick him? Lie to him? But his feelings for her, and this crazy attraction he feels, soon has him putting his doubts aside to spend more time with her. He tells himself it's for the sake of the baby. Yeah. Right. Agreeing to try to work out some sort of relationship before the baby is due, Katie travels with Dario to his golf tournaments, walking the course with him by day...and giving in to their attraction by night. But will it be enough? Includes bonus sneak peek material. *Warning* Worth The Drive has 3-4 somewhat graphic sex scenes and the F-bomb is detonated semi-frequently.

    Surviving This Babylon: Ancient Secrets for Modern Survival , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 177min
    Ready or not...Babylon is back.... Babylon never really died. Its pervasive influence fades and reappears like an unruly evil. Every mighty empire has been enticed by its attractive smile and ancient promises. America is no different. Inside such bait is always a hook. The United States is currently in the grips of "mystery, Babylon." Her lies are changing the heart and soul of this fine country. Good men and women are being deceived and drawn into perdition. Christians are suffering a modern day lions' den. What can be done? What the ancients knew...you can too.... Persia, Greece, and Rome all fell into the enticements of whorish Babylon. Ancient believers had to both recognize the apparition before them and endure the sure course of persecution befalling them. Every generation has had to survive Babylon in some form. We are no different. The wise men of modernity need to take an inventory of the skills the wise men of antiquity used to escape the lions' den. They repeatedly followed the same pattern of purposeful behaviors in order to survive. How to shut the lions mouths.... Surviving This Babylon is an instruction manual for overcoming the current forms of this incessant beast that is Babylon. The formula is here, in this book, and it's clear. The axis of global governance and a universal religion of apostasy is emerging and may just be the final form of Babylon. It is threatening and dangerous but can be overcome. The lions of Babylon are fierce, but the ancient secrets revealed in Scripture will help you to roar back with a perfect boldness. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Dr. Douglas F. Levesque.

    Fire Season: Star Kingdom, Book 2 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 567min
    Here is the second entry in a new young-adult series by New York Times best seller David Weber and the prequel to the hugely popular Honor Harrington adult science-fiction saga. Fire in the forest – and a cry for help from a trapped and desperate alien mother! Unfortunately, this is one cry no human can hear. Stephanie Harrington, precocious 14-year-old Provisional Forest Ranger on the planet Sphinx, knows something is wrong from the uneasy emotion that is flooding into her from her treecat friend, Climbs Quickly. But though Stephanie’s alien comrade shares a tight bond with his two-legs, whom he knows as Death Fang’s Bane, he cannot communicate directly to her the anguished call from one of his people. Still, their strong and direct bond of feeling may be enough. Stephanie and fellow ranger Karl Zivonik respond to Climbs Quickly’s rising waves of distress. Fire season on the pioneer world of Sphinx has begun. But there are those who want to use the natural cycle of the planet for personal gain – and to get rid of the one obstacle that stands in the way of acquiring even greater land and power on Spinx: the native treecats. Now it's up to Stephanie and Climbs Quickly, along with their friends, family, and allies, to prevent disaster and injustice from befalling a treecat clan. But in the process, Stephanie must be certain to preserve the greatest secret all. It is the knowledge that the treecats of Sphinx are not merely pets or servants, but are highly intelligent in their own right – that they are a species fully deserving of rights, respect, and freedom. And keeping the secret that will allow the treecats time to develop a mutually beneficial relationship with humankind all begins with the friendship of a girl and her treecat. ungekürzt.

Married to the powerful leader of her people, safe among those gifted with great ability, Magda Searus is protected from a distant world descending into war. But when her husband, a man who loved life and loved her, unexpectedly commits suicide, she suddenly finds herself alone. Because she is ungifted herself, without her husband she no longer has standing among her people, and she finds herself isolated in a society that seems to be crumbling around her. Despite her grief, she is driven to find the reasons behind why her husband would do such a thing - why he would abandon her and her people at such a profoundly dangerous time. Though she is not gifted, she begins to discover that there may be more to her husband's suicide than anyone knew. What she finds next, no one is willing to believe. Without anyone to help her, she knows that she must embark on a mission to find a mysterious spiritist, if she even exists, so that she may speak with the dead. This quest may also be her last chance to unravel what is really behind the mysterious events befalling her people. What she discovers along the way is that the war is going far worse than she had known, and that the consequences of defeat will be more terrifying for her and her people than she could have imagined.
