    Blood Crimes: The Pennsylvania Skinhead Murders , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 438min
    Raised as Jehovah's Witnesses and frustrated with their parents' repressive rules, Bryan and David Freeman rebelled as teenagers. Encouraged by an acquaintance he met while institutionalized at a reform school, Bryan became a neo-Nazi. Bryan then indoctrinated David, and their flair for defiance took a dark turn. After callously murdering their father, mother, and younger brother, the skinhead brothers took flight across America, with police from three states in hot pursuit. They were eventually captured in Michigan and returned to Pennsylvania for trial. During the trial, author Fred Rosen uncovered evidence that one of the brothers might not have been as culpable as authorities claimed, and divulged the history of a family torn apart by stringent religious beliefs. ungekürzt.

    ¿Quién mató a Helena Jubany? (eBook, ePUB)
    La madrugada del 2 de diciembre de 2001, el cuerpo de Helena Jubany cayó al vacío desde lo alto de un edificio de Sabadell. Desnuda, con quemaduras en la piel y benzodiazepinas en el organismo, pronto quedó claro que no se trataba de un suicidio. Se originó así uno de los casos de asesinato no resueltos más célebres del siglo, que dejó tras de sí dos muertes, numerosos errores en la investigación, el sufrimiento de dos familias y la impunidad del culpable. El periodista Yago García Zamora, profundo conocedor del caso, relata con escalofriante precisión los entresijos de una historia impactante que aún continúa viva, ofrece nueva información inédita y arroja luz sobre algunos de los interrogantes del crimen.

    The Curious Person's Guide to Fighting Fake News , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 286min
    With each passing day the potential reach of a single false news story — and its ability to negatively impact all of us — grows in both size and scope. Although politicians, activists, and ordinary citizens regularly complain about deceptive or biased news reports, they tend to define fake news as anything with which they happen to disagree, thus compounding the problem even further. Seeking to bring some much-needed clarity to the subject, journalist David G. McAfee documents the myriad definitions of "fake news" and its various incarnations throughout history, from ideologically motivated disinformation operations to commercially motivated misinformation campaigns. Demonstrating that we are all culpable in the creation of the current pandemic, he presents a number of practical and actionable suggestions for combating it. In the end, however, he argues that each of us, no matter our political bent, have an important role to play in curbing the insidious spread and most dangerous effects of fake news. ungekürzt.

    Science Left Behind: Feel-Good Fallacies and the Rise of the Anti-Scientific Left , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 512min
    To listen to most pundits and political writers, evolution, stem cells, and climate change are the only scientific issues worth mentioning and the only people who are anti-science are conservatives. Yet those on the left have numerous fallacies of their own. Aversion to clean energy programs, basic biological research, and even life-saving vaccines come naturally to many progressives. These are positions supported by little more than junk-science and paranoid thinking. Now for the first time, science writers Dr. Alex B. Berezow and Hank Campbell have drawn open the curtain on the left’s fear of science. As Science Left Behind reveals, vague inclinations about the wholesomeness of all things natural, the unhealthiness of the unnatural, and many other seductive fallacies have led to an epidemic of misinformation. The results: public health crises, damaging and misguided policies, and worst of all, a new culture war over basic scientific factsin which the left is just as culpable as the right.

    Madame Prosecutor: Confrontations with Humanity's Worst Criminals and the Culture of Impunity , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 1097min
    Carla Del Ponte won international recognition as Switzerland's attorney general when she pursued cases against the Sicilian mafia. In 1999, she answered the United Nations' call to become the chief prosecutor of the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia and for Rwanda. In her new role, Del Ponte confronted genocide and crimes against humanity head-on, struggling to bring to justice the highest-ranking individuals responsible for massive acts of violence in Rwanda, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, and Kosovo. These tribunals have been unprecedented. They operate along the edge of the divide between national sovereignty and international responsibility, in the gray zone between the judicial and the political, a largely unexplored realm for prosecutors and judges. It is a realm whose native inhabitants - political leaders and diplomats, soldiers and spies - assume that they can commit the big crime without being held culpable. It is a realm crisscrossed by what Del Ponte calls the muro di gomma - "the wall of rubber" - a metaphor referring to the tactics government officials use to hide their unwillingness to confront the culture of impunity that has allowed persons responsible for acts of unspeakable, wholesale violence to escape accountability. Madame Prosecutor is Del Ponte's courageous and startling memoir of her eight years spent striving to serve justice. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Dina Pearlman.

    We Are All Completely Beside Ourselves , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 537min
    From the New York Times-best-selling author of The Jane Austen Book Club, the story of an American family, middle class in middle America, ordinary in every way but one. But that exception is the beating heart of this extraordinary novel. Meet the Cooke family: Mother and Dad, brother Lowell, sister Fern, and our narrator, Rosemary, who begins her story in the middle. She has her reasons. "I spent the first eighteen years of my life defined by this one fact: that I was raised with a chimpanzee," she tells us. "It's never going to be the first thing I share with someone. I tell you Fern was a chimp and already you aren't thinking of her as my sister. But until Fern's expulsion, I'd scarcely known a moment alone. She was my twin, my funhouse mirror, my whirlwind other half, and I loved her as a sister." Rosemary was not yet six when Fern was removed. Over the years, she's managed to block a lot of memories. She's smart, vulnerable, innocent, and culpable. With some guile, she guides us through the darkness, penetrating secrets and unearthing memories, leading us deeper into the mystery she has dangled before us from the start. Stripping off the protective masks that have hidden truths too painful to acknowledge, in the end, "Rosemary" truly is for remembrance. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Orlagh Cassidy.

    Yo, comandante de Auschwitz (eBook, ePUB)
    Este libro constituye uno de los documentos más sorprendentes de la historia: el testimonio en primera persona de un asesino en masa cuyas víctimas se cuentan por millones. El autor narra su vida, centrándose sobre todo en su etapa al frente del mayor campo de exterminio que haya existido: Auschwitz-Birkenau. Estamos ante un libro clásico, no por sus virtudes literarias ni por la grandeza de su autor, sino porque después de leer a Höss, negar el holocausto no solo es inmoral sino estúpido. Aquí no caben interpretaciones porque el culpable confiesa el delito. El prólogo de Primo Levi (la víctima condenando al verdugo para la posteridad) forma parte de este libro de manera casi inevitable. Es una pieza brillante de uno de los más lúcidos supervivientes del holocausto y el mayor ejemplo de justicia poética que se pueda imaginar. En palabras de Levi, de una pasmosa actualidad: "El libro muestra con qué facilidad el bien puede ceder al mal, ser asediado por este y, finalmente, sumergido, para sobrevivir en pequeñas islas grotescas". Los derechos de autor de este libro macabro, pero históricamente importante, se destinan al fondo creado originalmente para los escasos supervivientes del campo de Auschwitz.

    Our Good Name: A Company's Fight to Defend Its Honor and Get the Truth Told About Abu Ghraib , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 1301min
    In April 2004, an illegally leaked U.S. Army report thrust CACI, an information technology company, into the international spotlight by casting suspicion on a CACI employee for being "either directly or indirectly responsible" for the mistreatment of detainees at Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq. At the same time, pictures from the abuses were shown on national television and tarnished anyone associated with Abu Ghraib - including CACI. What ensued was a media frenzy rarely seen by any company in recent decades. The media twisted the unsupported allegations into a guilty verdict without regard for the facts or the truth, creating a damning public perception of CACI. Our Good Name recounts how CACI battled to defend itself against erroneous and malicious reports by a rampaging media, how it responded to the wide-ranging government investigations, and how it overcame misplaced anger and criticism that put the company's dedicated employees and excellent reputation - even its future - at risk. Faced with constant accusations, exaggerations, and false reports, CACI refused to allow the media storm and uninformed opportunists to drag it down. The company condemned the behavior depicted in the infamous prison photos. If any employee had been culpable of any wrongdoing, the company would respond forcefully and accordingly, but only adhering to the rule of law. There would be no witch hunts, no lynch mobs, and no kangaroo courts. Spearheaded by its long-time leader, chairman, president, and CEO Dr. J. Phillip London, the company mounted a concentrated campaign to address the allegations and make the facts known. CACI used innovative methods of crisis management and consistent communications to push back against the distortions and mistakes. CACI would also rely upon its long-established, proven culture of ethics and integrity to direct its activities and set the record straight. Our Good Name is CACI's story of facing one of the bigge ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Fleet Cooper. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/adbl/011979/bk_adbl_011979_sample.mp3.
