One Under: Bill Slider, Book 18 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 563min
A middle-aged man jumps under a tube train at Shepherd's Bush station, and a teenage girl is killed in a hit-and-run in a country lane puzzlingly far from her home on the White City Estate: two unrelated incidents which occupy DCI Bill Slider and his team during a slack period. At least it's a change of speed after the grind of domestics, burglaries and Community Liaison. But links to a cold case - another dead teenager, pulled out of the River Thames - create doubts as to whether they are indeed unrelated. And slowly a trail of corruption and betrayal is uncovered, leading Slider and his firm ever deeper into a morass of horror. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Terry Wale.

Race Class Women And The State
During the 1950s, a growing number of women, including married women with children, entered the paid labor force. Many women who had traditionally been employed as domestic servants left their employment for jobs where remuneration was higher, hours of work better defined and protective measures applied. The State then turned to other countries, to women of color from the Third World, notably the Caribbean and the Philippines for domestic workers. This led to a change in immigration policy; the State began to import foreign domestic workers to work for low wages, under adverse conditions, with no labor and mobility rights. North America was seen by these women as an economic opportunity, even if they were forced to work as domestics, the wages were higher than in their country of origin.Tanya Schecter argues that the State consciously acted to take advantage of these women's desperation, of their poverty, in order to find a cheap supply of domestics for its own citizens while limiting its own social expenditures.In "Race, Class, Women and the State" she traces the role of the State in setting the policies that have allowed North American women to increase their participation in the public sphere, while at the same time keeping the public-private divide and its attendant value structure much the same as they were at the turn of the century: that is, domestic labor and child care remain women's responsibility and are valued less than work performed in the public sphere. It shows how women are overwhelmingly forced to work a double day. Moreover, for many immigrant women of color, their double day increasingly takes place in the home as they are forced to work in other women's homesperforming domestic duties for low wages.- Shop: buecher

Mr. Huffam: A Christmas Story , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 47min
Sir Hugh Seymour Walpole (1884-1941) was a New Zealand-born English novelist famous for his skill at scene setting and vivid plots. He was a best-selling author in the 1920s and 1930s and remains popular to this day. 'Mr. Huffam' is a heartwarming story about a delightful stranger who, on account of his personal bonhomie and his wonderful ability to tell stories, charms the household of Sir Roderick Winslow, from the haughty aristocratic relatives to the domestics. Before they know it, he has moved into the guest room. But who is the jovial stranger, and what does he want with them? When the stranger suggests holding a Christmas party and takes complete control of the invitation list, it is clear that the Winslows are in for a surprise. ungekürzt. Language: English.

Baby X: Britain's Child Abusers Brought to Justice , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 501min
Baby X is a shocking and unforgettable story of how some of the UK's most disadvantaged children escaped their tormentors - and explains why some cases, similar to that of Baby P's, ended in tragedy. When super-tough cop Sergeant Harry Keeble announced he was joining Hackney's ailing Child Protection Team in 2000, his colleagues were astounded. Known as the 'Cardigan Squad', its officers were seen as glorified social workers dealing with domestics. The reality was very different. Within a few months he'd fought machete-wielding thugs, rescued kids who had pit bulls chained to their cots and confronted the horrors of African witchcraft, exposing a network of abuse in the process - all in his unrelenting war against child cruelty. Harry rescued dozens of kids - kids in crack houses, kids living in unimaginable filth and kids who had burned their houses down. Then there were the hostage situations, the lynch mobs, and the almost impossible process of interviewing paedophiles to get a confession. Without wading in sentimentality, he describes how his team - working alongside dedicated but chronically underfunded social workers - operated at the sharp end of child protection. ungekürzt.
