Ships of Oak, Guns of Iron: The War of 1812 and the Forging of the American Navy , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 1222min
The War of 1812 is typically noted for a handful of events: the burning of the White House, the rise of the Star Spangled Banner, and the battle of New Orleans. But in fact the greatest consequence of that distant conflict was the birth of the U.S. Navy. During the War of 1812, America's tiny fleet took on the mightiest naval power on earth, besting the British in a string of victories that stunned both nations. In his new audiobook Ships of Oak and Guns of Iron: The War of 1812 and the Birth of the American Navy, author Dr. Ronald Utt not only sheds new light on the naval battles of the War of 1812 and how they gave birth to our nation's great navy, but tells the story of the War of 1812 through the portraits of famous American war heroes. From the cunning Stephen Decatur to the fierce David Porter, Ships of Oak and Guns of Iron relates how thousands of American men and boys gave better than they got against the British Navy. The great age of fighting sail is as rich in heroic drama as any epoch. Dr. Utt's Ships of Oak and Guns of Iron retrieves the American chapter of that epoch from unjustified obscurity, and offers listeners an intriguing chronicle of the War of 1812 as well as a unique perspective on the birth of the U.S. Navy. ungekürzt.

Convicting the Innocent: Death Row and America's Broken System of Justice , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 626min
Every day, innocent men across America are thrown into prison, betrayed by a faulty justice system, and robbed of their lives - either by decades-long sentences or the death penalty itself. Injustice tarnishes our legal process from start to finish. From the racial discrimination and violence used by backwards law enforcement officers, to a prison culture that breeds inmate conflict, there is opportunity for error at every turn. Award-winning journalist, Stanley Cohen, chronicles over 100 of these cases, from the 1973 case of the first ever death row exoneree, David Keaton, to multiple cases as of 2015 that resulted from the corrupt practices of NYPD Detective Louis Scarcella (with nearly 70 Brooklyn cases under review for wrongful conviction). In the wake of these unjust convictions, grassroots organizations, families, and pro bono lawyers have battled this rampant wrongdoing. Cohen reveals how eyewitness error, jailhouse snitch testimony, racism, junk science, prosecutorial misconduct, and incompetent counsel have populated America's prisons with the innocent. Listeners embark on journeys with men who were arrested, convicted, sentenced to life in prison or death, dragged through the appeals system, and finally set free based on their actual innocence. Although these stories end with vindication, there are those that have ended with unjustified execution. Convicting the Innocent is sure to fuel controversy over a justice system that has delivered the ultimate punishment nearly 1,000 times since 1976, though it cannot guarantee accurate convictions. ungekürzt.

Ayn Rand and Altriusm , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 60min
In Ayn Rand and Altruism, George H. Smith calls attention to benevolence in Rand’s thinking. Indeed, Smith defends Rand’s rejection of altruism by contrasting it to benevolence. In this series of essays, originally published on Libertarianism.org and republished by The Atlas Society with permission of the author, Smith begins by establishing that Rand’s definition of altruism - “the placing of others above self, of their interests above one’s own” - is identical to the definition of altruism originated by Auguste Comte. The 19th-century French philosopher considered altruism the basis of morality. Rand considered altruism morality’s antithesis. Smith explains: "Rand’s analyses of altruism - including her claims about its moral, social, and political implications - are a virtual negative image of Comte’s defense of altruism. Thus, however much critics may dismiss Rand’s attacks on altruism as unjustified, her treatment of altruism, as discussed and defended by the man who originated the term and who defended altruism in more detail than any other philosopher, before or since, was remarkably on point." Smith emphasizes that Rand objected to altruism on the grounds that it is a duty. Benevolence is voluntary. The distinction has serious political consequences. Altruism becomes the moral basis of collectivism. It can be used malevolently to force individuals to sacrifice themselves. Smith refutes the absurd claim that Ayn Rand, in rejecting altruism, advocated a cruel disregard for the well-being of others, and he asserts that it is categorically incorrect to consider Ayn Rand someone who “defended selfishness in the vulgar sense, according to which an egoist should show no concern for the welfare of others.” Indeed, Smith concludes after a sweeping and methodical examination of Rand’s position, “That was not her point at all.” ungekürzt.

Ben Preserve Us , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 361min
I bring you up to believe that nothing is good enough for you, and you grow up to be good for nothing. Thus, Mrs. Bindle, on learning that Ben, her only-begotten son, has decided to be a Rabbi; what is more, a Rabbi in a small provincial town in Scotland. Her anxiety proves to be not unjustified, although Ben's chosen career has its compensations-perhaps Helen, the promiscuous teenage daughter of his housekeeper; perhaps Simmy, the young wife of an elderly parishioner; perhaps the whole incident-prone pace of the pawky Scottish town in which this richly-human story is set. First published in 1965, Chaim Bermant's third novel has all the wit, warmth and colour of its critically-acclaimed forerunners. Chaim Bermant (1929-1998) was born in Breslev, Poland and moved to Glasgow, Scotland at the age of 8. He was educated in Glasgow and became a teacher before joining Scottish TV and then Granada. Bermant became a prominent Anglo-Jewish journalist, and had a regular coloumn in The Jewish Chronicle and occasionally to the national press, particularly The Observer and The Daily Telegraph. During his lifetime, Bermant wrote a number of scripts for both Radio and Television, including the BBC, as well as several for Anglia TV. Bermant's book, The Squire of Bor Shachor was serialized on the Radio and Bermant also appeared in several productions in person, including, in 1981, one of the BBC's 'Everyman' series. Bermant wrote a total of 31 books; his novels and non-fiction works reflect his sometimes controversial opinions and his observations on Anglo-Jewish society. ungekürzt. Language: English.

This audiobook consists of two books that cover topics such as sexual abuse, suicide, verbal abuse, bullying, and human trafficking.Here is some more information about the two books.Book one:What does sexual abuse involve?We may not always want to think about it, and some people shiver at the thought of it, but sexual abuse is common and, sadly, rampant across the world. Some things happen behind closed doors, others get recorded and openly displayed to any pervert on the web who is looking for it.In this book, we’ll cover important related topics to increase your understanding of this phenomenon. We’ll go over things, like: Human trafficking and “recruiting” techniques they use to lure innocent victims inSexual abuse in various formsThe dangers and harmful side effects on someone’s psyche when they get abusedThe opposite: How lying women have ruined men’s lives with false rape accusationsWhat online predators do, and how to avoid them from contacting your kidsDomestic violence and its relation to sexual abuse in the homeStats and facts (as far as we have them) about sexual abuse victims and its prevalenceSexual trauma effects on a person’s sex life, even when they are happily marriedI am sure you take this topic as serious as I, the author, and that you want to know, at least to some degree, what’s going on in the world. Don’t be an ostrich. Don’t stick your head in the sand. Learn the truth and become cautious and aware accordingly.Book two:Verbal abuse basically means putting other people down. It can be through gossip, belittling comments, or bullying. I think most people are at least guilty of a little slander or unjustified, harsh criticism that have given others.

Emperor Hirohito: The Life and Legacy of Japan’s Ruler During World War II , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 133min
“It was not clear to me that our course was unjustified. Even now I am not sure how historians will allocate the responsibility for the war.” (Emperor Hirohito)The man known to most of the world as Emperor Hirohito ruled during some of the most tumultuous years in Japanese history. When he came to the throne in 1926, he inherited control of a country which had only recently emerged as a major industrial and world power. Through the aggressive expansion and wars of the 1930s, Hirohito was at the head of one of the world’s foremost powers. Throughout the maelstrom of World War II, he remained in power, a distant and, to most outsiders, inscrutable factor in the rise of the Japanese Empire.Before and during the war, many people in America and elsewhere believed that Emperor Hirohito was at least partly responsible for both the confrontational Japanese approach to foreign affairs and for the often brutal conduct of the Japanese armed forces during the wars which followed. As such, when the war ended, there were plenty of calls for the emperor to be indicted for war crimes along with other senior figures in Japan. However, a new feeling emerged at that time, suggesting that, in reality, Hirohito had been little more than a figurehead taken along by a tide of militarism, helpless to intervene or influence the course of events. Modern scholarship suggests that neither of these views of Hirohito is entirely true. At the time he came to the throne, the emperor was revered as a semi-divine figure, and his influence on every level of Japanese political and military life was undeniable and considerable. Although the emperor generally did not express his will through the issuance of direct orders, the displeasure of the emperor was something which every senior member of the military and political sphere sought strenuously to avoid. In this context, to imagine Hirohito as a helpless puppet, a purely constitutional monarch manipulated by ruthl ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Bill Hare.

Trapped in a Corrupt School District (eBook, ePUB)
Born and mostly educated in Italy, at a young age I immigrated to Quebec, Canada, where I taught Latin to French speaking high school students. Then, I earned a Ph.D. degree in French and Latin at the University of Ontario. My dream came true when in 1967 I entered the USA as French instructor at a college in central Kansas and later at the University of Tennessee. Alas, due to the declining enrollment in the foreign languages at the University, three years later I lost my untenured job. Next, being just a part-time French instructor in a catholic college, I took a full-time teaching job in the public school district of Fairview, a medium-sized town in the Appalachian Plateau. I taught French and Latin to high school freshmen. There I was appreciated by everybody and three years later I was granted tenure. With the advent of a new school superintendent, Tom Jones, in 1980 the tide suddenly turned. He advocated that the school district did not need a teacher with a Ph.D. degree and, most of all, that as a "European" I was unqualified to teach in his American schools. He decided that I had to go. Unable to find a legitimate reason to get rid of me, he started building a termination case for "gross inefficiency". For that purpose, Jones replaced my honest principal with Frank Grossman, an awkward and loyal bootlicker who had no knowledge of French and Latin. For four years Grossman made my life extremely miserable. He sat in my classroom almost fifty times and, if so to speak I taught that planet Earth is round, he documented that I said it is square. Yet, nothing could justify my dismissal. In spring 1982, Jones indefinitely laid off 67 untenured teachers for alleged financial problems. I was the only tenured teacher among them. Later, the school board ordered to rehire all 67 teachers, because the lay-off was unjustified. Yet, Jones refused to rehire me. Finally, he made me ransom my tenured job by making me drop a couple of pending grievances. Exasperated by his repeated failures to get rid of me, Jones announced in the local news that I was "the poorest teacher in the school district" and that he had no choice but to let me go. To achieve his resolve, he had Grossman triple the efforts to fabricate as much negative documentation as possible. Grossman even used a few teachers, students, parents, and substitute teachers to support his efforts. To further mortify and disgrace me, he had me sit in other teachers' classroom to learn how to teach French and Latin in America. He ordered me to take additional college classes to qualify to teach those languages at the first year level. Two school administrators and three outsiders were hired to sit in my classes and prepare negative reports. None of them knew French and Latin. I became a laughing stock in the entire school district. The maltreatment became so callous that my doctor placed me on sick leave for 30 days, because of an "acute anxiety syndrome". After four years of relentless and undignified torment, in March 1984, Supt. Jones had his rubber stamp school board fire me for alleged "inability" to teach French and Latin even at the first year level. Even my foreign "accent" and my alleged "European way of teaching" were given as termination grounds. Yes, my sick leave was also used to claim that I was "physically unable to teach". Since previously I had been a successful teacher in catholic schools, Jones had the insolence to advise that I should seek employment in catholic schools, as if those were inferior. This book describes the incredible, despicable, and appalling persecution, mistreatment, and humiliation I endured in that school district run by a corrupt superintendent and his accomplices. It is a shocking case of ignorance, bigotry and malice. ___________________________________________________________Notice: Although the events described in this book took place decades ago, they are still etched in my memory. I decided to recount them in this book as a personal healing and to warn teachers that such things can truly happen.- Shop: buecher
