    End of the World: As We Knew It, Hörbuch, Digital, 121min
    There is a growing global unrest. A large faction of people from all walks of life, both young and old, feel they are being affected by an outside source, sharing a deep-rooted fear that all is not right. Many feel that time itself is moving too fast, that they are traumatized by the pressure to keep up with the ever-changing landscape around us, leaving many paralyzed and overwhelmed by the cacophony and mindless chatter of technology that pervades every aspect of their lives. Are we losing ourselves amidst this modern world? Are we living a lie under the charade of an advanced and civilized society, all while we are destroying life on Earth - polluting our air, food, water, and ultimately our minds while destroying species, habitat, and even human lives on a daily basis? Are labor-saving devices, products, and services for anything and everything erasing our true selves or simply making our lives easier? Since the industrial revolution, man has continued to distance himself from the world in which we came, a world of flora and fauna to which we were once deeply connected throughout our evolution. Now many experts feel we are no longer in the age of common sense, that we are just steps away from a truly Orwellian existence, and that we are now devolving to the point of no return.

    Uncompromising New York Vice Narcotics detective Jagger Scott is all about the day-to-day grind. Detached from the usual niceties in life after the tragic death of his wife, he’s fallen into a calloused existence of unforgiveness when it comes to putting the criminals behind bars.

Assigned to a serial killer she must follow the trail of victims and must find a way to work with the hot-headed detective from New York, the latest victim’s brother. As the investigation develops, so does a reluctant understanding that neither one will back down. The priority: solve the complicated serial murders with a devolving suspect. Could these two lone wolves find something more than commitment to the job?

    Apostles of Revolution: Jefferson, Paine, Monroe, and the Struggle Against the Old Order in America and Europe , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 1106min
    From acclaimed historian John Ferling, the story of Thomas Jefferson, Thomas Paine and James Monroe's championing of the most radical ideas of the American and French Revolutions.  Thomas Jefferson, Thomas Paine and James Monroe were in the vanguard of revolutionary ideas in the 18th century. As founding fathers, they risked their lives for American independence, but they also wanted more. Each wished for profound changes in the political and social fabric of pre-1776 America and hoped that the American Revolution would spark republican and egalitarian revolutions throughout Europe, sweeping away the old aristocratic order. Ultimately, each rejoiced at the opportunity to be a part of the French Revolution, a cause that became increasingly untenable as idealism gave way to the bloody terror.  Apostles of Revolution spans a crucial time in Western civilisation. The era ranged from the American insurgency against Great Britain to the Declaration of Independence, from desperate engagements on American battlefields to the threat posed to the young democracy by the Federalist's Tory leanings. With the French Revolution devolving into anarchy in the background, the story culminates with the tumultuous election of 1800, the outcome of which, Jefferson claimed, saved the American Revolution and assured that its most radical ideals would carry into the future.  Written as a sweeping narrative of a pivotal era, Apostles of Revolution captures the turbulent spirit of the times and reminds us that the liberty we take for granted is ours only because we, both champions and common citizens, have fought for it. ungekürzt.

    French Legends: The Life and Legacy of King Louis XIV , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 77min
    Every time I create an appointment, I create a hundred malcontents and one ingrate. (Louis XIV) A lot of ink has been spilled covering the lives of history's most influential figures, but how much of the forest is lost for the trees? In Charles River Editors' French Legends series, listeners can get caught up to speed on the lives of France's most important men and women in the time it takes to finish a commute, while learning interesting facts long forgotten or never known. France's most famous king, and Europe's longest serving, Louis XIV (1638-1715) is often viewed today as a symbol of royal extravagance and splendor. Reigning for over 72 years, the legacy of the "Sun King" is remembered for the magnificent Palace of Versailles, the patronizing of arts and theater, and the apocryphal quote "l'Etat c'est moi" (I am the State). Although it is more than fair to associate the Sun King with vanity and unfathomable spending on luxury, the laser-sharp focus on the superficial aspects of the man and his reign have come to overshadow just how effective he was as a ruler. Becoming king as a child and assuming actual power in his early 20s, Louis spent nearly 55 years centralizing and consolidating power in his monarchy by bringing the aristocracy to heel and keeping religious divisions from devolving into violence, thereby passing off to his successor an absolute monarchy with a very solid foundation. At the same time, his foreign policies, though often criticized as quests for glory, helped establish France as the dominant power on the European continent and firmly in control of an overseas colonial empire that stretched both east and west. ungekürzt.

    The Greatest Civil War Battles: The Battle of Chickamauga , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 94min
    I know Mr. Davis thinks he can do a great many things other men would hesitate to attempt. For instance, he tried to do what God failed to do. He tried to make a soldier of Braxton Bragg. - General Joseph E. Johnston Americans have long been fascinated by the Civil War and its biggest battles, particularly Gettysburg, Antietam, and Shiloh, all of which involved Robert E. Lee or Ulysses S. Grant. But the second biggest battle of the entire war mostly gets overlooked among casual listeners, despite the fact it represented the last great chance for the Confederates to salvage the Western theater. In mid-September, the Union Army of the Cumberland under General William Rosecrans had taken Chattanooga, but rather than be pushed out of the action, Army of Tennessee commander Braxton Bragg decided to stop with his 60,000 men and prepare a counterattack south of Chattanooga at a creek named Chickamauga. To bolster his fire-power, Confederate President Jefferson Davis sent 12,000 additional troops under the command of Lieutenant General James Longstreet, whose corps had just recently fought at Gettysburg in July. On the morning of September 19, 1863, Bragg's men assaulted the Union line, which was established in a wooded area thick with underbrush along the river. That day and the morning of the next, Bragg continue to pummel Union forces, with the battle devolving from an organized succession of uncoordinated assaults into what one Union soldier described as "a mad, irregular battle." Late that second morning, Rosecrans was misinformed that a gap was forming in his front line, so he responded by moving several units forward to shore it up. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    How Science Proves That the Theory of Evolution Is Impossible, Why Humans Can Never Evolve from Mutations Transpiring, and How Humans Can Be Augmented by Becoming Cyborgs , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 30min
    This essay sheds light on how science proves that the theory of evolution is impossible and also elucidates why humans can never evolve from mutations transpiring. Moreover, how humans can be augmented by becoming cyborgs is delineated in this essay. In spite of what you were indoctrinated to believe, it is not only easier than anytime in history to utilize science to vindicate the existence of God - the quintessential, divine creator, and master of the multiverse - but is also easier to disprove the illogical theory of evolution. Human beings were created by God and are sheer and utter consciousness as multidimensional, spiritual beings who vicariously experience this simulated reality through their earthly avatars, receivers, vessels, or bodies as most people like to call them. Humans were created by God and have profusely devolved overtime from mutations transpiring. Mutations are always deleterious and are never beneficial to the human species. Mutations always cause you to lose genetic information and never gain genetic information. The theory of evolution makes the irrational contention that mutations are beneficial, when in fact the polar opposite is true. The occurrence of mutations is never salubrious, but rather is always deleterious. Mutations to the genes are always adverse changes which bastardizes the original genetic code. A human being's earthly vessel can never organically change it to something outside the parameters of its DNA in this simulation. If the human genome can be thought of as a book, then the occurrence of a mutation can always be thought of as outright ripping a chapter out of a book, hence bastardizing the original genetic code and devolving the earthly vessel of the being. Humans are a maladaptive species that can never possess the ability to physically evolve in this simulation, because unlike the fictitious Pokemon characters, human beings only have the anatomy to physically devolve into lesser humans beings ungekürzt.

    Summary of Fortitude by Dan Crenshaw , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 89min
    In 2012, on his third tour of duty in Afghanistan, an improvised explosive device left Dan Crenshaw's right eye destroyed and his left eye blinded. Only through the careful hand of his surgeons, and what doctors called a miracle, did Crenshaw's left eye recover partial vision.Roadside and yet, he persevered, completing two more deployments. Why? There are certain stories we tell ourselves about the hardships we face - we can become paralyzed by adversity, or we can adapt and overcome. We can be fragile, or we can find our fortitude. Crenshaw delivers a set of lessons to help you do just that.Most people's everyday challenges aren't as extreme as surviving combat, yet our society is more fragile than ever - exploding with outrage, drowning in microaggressions, and devolving into divisive mob politics. The American spirit - long characterized by grit and fortitude - is unraveling. We must fix it. That's exactly what Crenshaw accomplishes with Fortitude. This book isn't about the problem, it's about the solution. And that solution begins with each and every one of us.We must all lighten up, toughen up, and begin treating our fellow Americans with respect and grace. Fortitude is a no-nonsense advice book for finding the strength to deal with everything from menial daily frustrations to truly difficult challenges. More than that, it is a road map for a more resilient American culture.With meditations on perseverance, failure, and finding much-needed heroes, the book is the antidote for a prevailing "safety culture" of trigger warnings and safe spaces. Interspersed with lessons from history and psychology is Crenshaw's own story of how an average American kid from the Houston suburbs went from war zones to the halls of Congress.Note: This is an unofficial companion audiobook of Dan Crenshaw popular book Fortitude. It is meant to enhance your reading/listening experience, and is not the original book. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Tom Brooks.

    The Rats in the Walls, Hörbuch, Digital, 50min
    The Rats in the Walls is a short story by American author H. P. Lovecraft. Written in August–September 1923, it was first published in Weird Tales, March 1924.In 1923, an American named Delapore, the last descendant of the De la Poer family, moves to his ancestral estate in England following the death of his only son during World War I. To the dismay of nearby residents, he restores the estate, called Exham Priory. After moving in, Delapore and his cat frequently hear the sounds of rats scurrying behind the walls.Upon investigating further, and through recurring dreams, Delapore learns that his family maintained an underground city for centuries, where they raised generations of "human cattle" - some regressed to a quadrupedal state - to supply their taste for human flesh. This was stopped when Delapore's ancestor killed his entire family in their sleep and left the country in order to end the horror, leaving the remaining human livestock and a surviving relative to be devoured by the rats inhabiting the city's cesspits.Maddened by the revelations of his family's past, a hereditary cruelty and his anger over his son's death, Delapore attacks one of his friends in the dark of the cavernous city and begins eating him while rambling in a mixture of Middle English, Latin, and Gaelic, before devolving into a cacophony of animalistic grunts.He is subsequently subdued and placed in a mental institution. At least one other investigator, Thornton, has gone insane as well. Soon after, Exham Priory is destroyed and the investigators decide to cover up the existence of the city. Delapore maintains his innocence, proclaiming that it was "the rats, the rats in the walls", who ate the man. He continues to be plagued by the sound of rats in the walls of his cell.Famous works of the author Howard Phillips Lovecraft: At the Mountains of Madness, The Dreams in the Witch House, The Horror at Red Hook, The Shadow Out of Time, The Shadows ov Language: English.

    Arguments: How to Persuade Others to Your Way of Thinking , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 86min
    Arguing has a bit of a bad rap in modern society, being seen as divisive and a source of conflict. When most people hear the word, they think of heated rows where voices are raised, accusations and names are thrown back and forth like missiles, no satisfactory conclusion is reached, and the parties arguing end up angry, hurt, further apart, and more dogmatically entrenched in their positions than before. This reputation isn't deserved - arguing is just another aspect of communication, one that allows an exchange of ideas and for issues to be resolved in order for things to move forward. This book is going to teach you how to overcome the obstacles that stand between you and succeeding in convincing others to your way of thinking. It will take a look at what arguing actually is in order to gain a better understanding of how to do it well and efficiently, tackle the prickly issue of just how ethical it is to persuade someone, and look at the different ways in which we fail in our arguments, both in winning and occasionally in reaching a decent resolution without devolving into fighting. It will also take an extensive look at logic, particularly how it is applied to construct valid and compelling arguments, and finally closes with 10 tips that will help you win your arguments. The section on logic takes up over half the book - logic is the cornerstone of a convincing argument, after all. This isn't a stuffy book that will give you dense theory with no connection to real life, though: Each entry includes a personal and professional example that you are likely to come across in real life. Along with the positive uses of logic, some ways in which the techniques discussed can be used in a dishonest way that takes advantage of how the human brain works are also included. There is a brief discussion of the ethics of using these techniques, but ultimately the power is given to you, the listener. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Sean Householder.
