When Normal Blew Up: The Story of the People Who Died and the People Who Lived On , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 244min

In 1967, in the small town of Circleville, Ohio, a man walked into an old-fashioned drug store on a busy Saturday and laid a smoking package on the pharmacy counter. He shouted for everyone to leave; he had a bomb.Five people died that day, and the mystery surrounding this event was never fully solved until, 50 years later, Joni Foster went looking for the details. Over nine months, she would interview first responders and survivors to hear stories about what happened and how they and the town moved forward. The event was so shocking, many of those closest to the event had never spoken about their trauma, even to their own families.The story is a tragedy, a history lesson on the slow, painful emancipation of women, and ultimately a love story to the families trying to live normal lives.The author, Joni Foster, is the daughter of one of the people who died that day. Joni has spent her life helping communities around the globe as an organizer, developer, and storyteller.Read by Jim Willison. Jim is a professional voice-over and audiobook narrator. It is a special honor to have Jim read this book as he and his family were a part of this tragic story. Growing up right outside of Circleville, Jim’s mother died in the event described in this audiobook. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Jim Willison.

The Name of Death , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 452min

Julio Santana as seen through the eyes of acclaimed investigative reporter Klester Cavalcanti is not a monster: he is a loyal son, a family man, and a devout Christian who is tormented by his conscience with every shot. But in a cruel and lawless area of Brazil, where every life has its price, respect for life is a luxury that he can't afford. Trained by his uncle, an assassin, and initiated in murder at 17 years of age, Santana proved to be a natural. Without moralizing about mass murder, The Name of Death attempts to show how such a career can be not so very different from other ordinary working lives.The portrait that emerges in this riveting narrative based on seven years of phone conversations between Cavalcanti and Santana is not only that of a man but also that of a country. Describing in detail only a handful of the almost 500 murders Santana carried out, Cavalcanti reveals just how lawless much of the interior of Brazil has been for the past 50 years. The state, the police, and the security forces play almost no part in establishing the rule of law - except when suppressing the guerilla threat of the early 1970s. Cavalcanti shows just how easy it is for a boy like Julio to take the law into his own hands, and what a wild place Brazil has been and, in many ways, continues to be. ungekürzt. Language: English.

Eddie: The Life and Times of America's Preeminent Bad Boy , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 285min

Eddie Haskell was the bad kid who never went away.When child actor Ken Osmond stepped onto the set of Leave It to Beaver in 1957, he not only entered our living rooms, he homesteaded a permanent place in the American pop culture. The poster child for sneaky, rotten kids everywhere, he was the reference point for cautious mothers to warn their children about. And everyone in America knew an Eddie Haskell at some point in his or her lives.The amazing phenomenon of Ken Osmond’s character is still going strong over half a century after the show’s cancellation. Even today, the name Eddie Haskell remains firmly entrenched in the American lexicon. Political foes from both sides of the ideological spectrum love to accuse their opponents of "acting like Eddie Haskell", and when Kobi Bryant argues a referee’s call, tweets go out labeling him as an "Eddie Haskell". Psychology Today Magazine has published articles about recognizing and treating "Eddie Haskell Syndrome" and Matt Groening created Bart Simpson as his own version of “the son of Eddie Haskell".Now it’s time to meet Ken Osmond, the man behind America’s preeminent bad boy. A man who, as co-star Jerry Mathers said, “...was the best actor on the program, because he was so diametrically opposed to the character he played." A devoted husband, father and patriot, he’s a man who’s been forever shadowed by Eddie Haskell, but whose own life was even more amazing than the character he portrayed. ungekürzt. Language: English.

Scandal in the Parish: Priests and Parishioners Behaving Badly in Eighteenth-Century France: McGill-Queen’s Studies in the History of Religion, Book 2 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 611min

In 1770, the priest Nicolas Vernier was accused of neglecting church services, inappropriate behaviour in the confessional, financial improprieties, and affairs with the village schoolmistresses. In a contentious church court case, parishioners described all of their priest's wrongdoings, and in turn, he detailed many of theirs. Ultimately, Vernier finished his career as a cathedral canon in another diocese. Scandal in the Parish recounts Vernier's story and many similar 18th-century cases. In fascinating detail that reveals essential facets of rural religion during the Catholic Reformation period, Karen Carter considers French lay people's relationship with their parish curé, who governed and influenced so much of their religious practice. Although the priest's role as purveyor of God's grace through the sacraments was secure as long as he performed his duties appropriately, priests who were unable to navigate the pressures and high expectations put on them by their superiors and parishioners risked broken relationships, public disturbances of the peace, and even prosecution. These scandals, Carter demonstrates, tell us much about rural parish life, the processes of negotiation and accommodation between curés and their parishioners, and ongoing religious reforms and enforcement throughout the 18th century. An engaging venture into the world of the parish that highlights the centrality of the priest-parishioner relationship, Scandal in the Parish reveals the attitudes and practices of ordinary people who were active agents in their religious and spiritual lives.The book is published by McGill-Queen’s University Press. The audiobook is published by University Press Audiobooks."Well-written and clearly argued study." (Jeremy Hayhoe, Université de Moncton) ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Amy Deuchler.

The Colours of Love: Poetry of Love and Romance , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 58min

A man and a woman fall in love with each other, often mysteriously. Real love is a mysterious phenomenon indeed. Sometimes, we don't clearly understand why we feel such a magnetic pull towards one particular individual, emotionally and physically. We can not feel good for a long time without seeing each other, without touching each other. We crave for each other' s presence, smell, and touch. We become addicted to each other, crazy for each other. We love, we make love; we satisfy each other physically and psychologically, consciously and subconsciously, in every possible way. But again, we sometimes fall out of love for some reasons. But the separation is the part of our love, too; it reminds us of the depth of love we had before; we may or may not come back to each other again, but the time we spent in deep love put a significant mark on our lives.The poems in this audiobook take us through many stages of a man-woman love affair, many colors of it. Here, the expressions of love have been portrayed in many different styles of poetry. Even though there are some long and narrative poems with deep poetic vibration also in here, most of the poems are very simple and short in length and are easy to remember and keep inside our hearts forever. The short poems are cute and are vibrating poetically and significantly as much as the longer poems.This is an audiobook of poetry of love, romance, and lust. ungekürzt. Language: English.
