    The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 175min
    This is the disturbing tale of the dual personality of Dr. Jekyll, a physician. A generous and philanthropic man, he is preoccupied with the problems of good and evil, and with the possibility of separating them into distinct personalities. He develops a drug that transforms him into the demonic Mr. Hyde, in whose person he exhausts all the latent evil in his nature. He also creates an antidote that will restore him to his respectable existence as Dr. Jekyll. Gradually, however, the unmitigated evil of his darker self predominates until finally he performs an atrocious murder. His saner self determines to curtail these alternations of personality, but he discovers that he is losing control over his transformations and that he slips with increasing frequency into the world of evil. Finally, unable to procure one of the ingredients for the mixture of redemption, and on the verge of being discovered, he commits suicide. Stark, skillfully woven, this fascinating novel explores the curious turnings of human character through the strange case of Dr. Jekyll, a kindly scientist who by night takes on his stunted, evil self, Mr. Hyde. Anticipating modern psychology, The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde is a brilliantly original study of man's dual nature as well as an immortal tale of suspense and terror. This tale has lost none of its ability to shock. Its realistic police-style narrative chillingly relates Dr. Jekyll’s desperation as Hyde gains control of his soul - and gives voice to our own fears of the violence and evil within us. ungekürzt.

    Abraham Lincoln: A Life 1855-1858: Building a New Party, a House Divided and the Lincoln Douglas Debates , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 599min
    Building a New Party, a House Divided and the Lincoln Douglas Debates (1855-1858)"Unite With Us and Help Us to Triumph" - Building the Illinois Republican Party ( 1855-1857) Lincoln struggles to form a new party to take the place of the defunct Whig party. He has strong doubts that a peaceful end to slavery is possible. Joining with anti-slavery, anti-nativist forces, Lincoln launches the Republican Party of Illinois and the first Republican convention takes place. When the Dred Scott case is decided, Lincoln publicly denounces the court decision. His finest debates with Stephen A. Douglass take place and Lincoln calls into question the hypocrisy of the Southern disgust of race mixing, as the population of Southern mulattos "dwarfed" that of the north."A House Divided" Lincoln vs. Douglass (1857-1858)Stephen Douglass vies for Republican support and begins to deny his affiliations with Democrats, stating that he had planned to curtail the spread of slavery geographically by building a railroad. Yet as late as 1858, Douglass wrote often of his belief, which had historical precedent, that blacks were not self-governing citizens and could not be granted passports "A David Greater than the Democratic Goliath" -the Lincoln-Douglas Debates 1858Despite Douglass being more popular than Lincoln, he lost many supporters due to strong and growing anti-slavery sentiments, a dwindling support from the Whig party, and a general dissatisfaction with the Democrat party. Douglass arrived well dressed for the debates with horse-drawn carriages and bands, whereas Lincoln would arrive quietly by train, and in very shabby clothing. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    The Weight of Vengeance: The United States, the British Empire, and the War of 1812  , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 805min
    In early 1815, Secretary of State James Monroe reviewed the treaty with Britain that would end the War of 1812. The United States Navy was blockaded in port; much of the army had not been paid for nearly a year; the capital had been burned. The treaty offered an unexpected escape from disaster. Yet it incensed Monroe, for the name of Great Britain and its negotiators consistently appeared before those of the United States. "The United States have acquired a certain rank amongst nations, which is due to their population and political importance," he brazenly scolded the British diplomat who conveyed the treaty, "and they do not stand in the same situation as at former periods." Monroe had a point, writes Troy Bickham. In The Weight of Vengeance, Bickham provides a provocative new account of America's forgotten war, underscoring its significance for both sides by placing it in global context. The Napoleonic Wars profoundly disrupted the global order, from India to Haiti to New Orleans. Spain's power slipped, allowing the United States to target the Floridas; the Haitian slave revolt contributed to the Louisiana Purchase; fears that Britain would ally with Tecumseh and disrupt the American northwest led to a pre-emptive strike on his people in 1811. This shifting balance of power provided the United States with the opportunity to challenge Britain's dominance of the Atlantic world. And it was an important conflict for Britain as well. Powerful elements in the British Empire so feared the rise of its former colonies that the British government sought to use the War of 1812 to curtail America's increasing maritime power and its aggressive territorial expansion. And by late 1814, Britain had more men under arms in North America than it had in the Peninsular War against Napoleon, with the war with America costing about as much as its huge subsidies to European allies. Troy Bickham has given us an authoritative, lucidly written global account th ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Brian Morris.

    Absolution: H7N9 Series, Book 2 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 443min
    A nation in ruins. A ruthless government determined to hold onto power. One man’s insurmountable guilt and a promise that is almost impossible to realize.After facing insufferable losses in the Tucson quarantine center, Teddy Sanders finds himself in a frighteningly familiar situation.In the wake of the H7N9 pandemic, the remnants of the US government, sheltered deep underground at the Cheyenne Mountain Complex, has enacted Presidential Directive 40 - Continuity of Operations Protocol - and declared a state of national emergency. Homeland Security’s Federal Emergency Management Agency has combined all remaining local, state, and federal agencies to institute the nation’s de facto militarized police force. FEMA, in an effort to curtail lawlessness and reestablish essential government functions, has created safe zones and civilian work camps throughout the country in order to assist with recovery operations. Acting under the scope of martial law, FEMA’s forces use fearmongering and brutality to keep the dispirited civil population in line.Upon arriving at one of the work camps, Teddy Sanders takes in the razor wire, sentry towers, and chain-link fences: He’s back in the same hellhole that he has known for most of his adult life. His travel companion, Ein, a young man who has never experienced Teddy’s world of confinement, finds himself entering dangerous territory, where one wrong move could cost him his life. No longer the kind of man who looks the other way when someone is in trouble, Teddy vows to escape and take Ein with him to freedom. Teddy’s plans unravel, and the stakes are raised, after he discovers that the camp harbors some dark secrets.As winter approaches and the camp’s food supplies dwindle due to command’s shortsightedness, FEMA’s control over the community becomes tenuous: Tempers flare not only between the officers and the detainees but between the upper echelons of the camp’s co ungekürzt.

    Emotional Intelligence: Improve Your Social Skills and Emotional Agility for a Better Life, Success at Work and Happier Relationships. Discover Why It Can Matter More Than IQ (EQ 2.0) , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 217min
    If you want to know yourself more deeply and know how to use emotional intelligence to live a happy life and fulfilled, then keep reading... The subject of emotional intelligence has been the source of intellectual debate for some time. Over time, many have raised the question of why people act the way they do emotionally. Some have approached this argument from the standpoint of two schools of reason - the nature versus nurture argument.The proponent of the nature argument traces human behavior to extra-natural factors. This branch of behavioral psychology believes that people are created to act in a certain way and remain the same for the rest of their life. Thus, there is little hope in changing one's emotional behavior.The second school believes that human behavior evolves over a period of time depending on our environment. The proponents of this line of reasoning believe that human beings are a product of their environment. Thus, a person’s behavior is the sum total of the environments he has been exposed to throughout his life. Whatever school you align with, what is constant is the fact that there is a need to understand why we act the way we do emotionally. We also need to know how our emotional behavior impacts our relationship. Finally, if there is a defect in the way we act emotionally, it would be necessary to learn how to curtail these excesses. The knowledge of the above is what you will have accomplished after listening to this book.This book is structured in a chronological format so that you don’t need to be conversant with emotional intelligence terms to have a well-rounded understanding of the concepts in the book. You will be introduced to the meaning of EQ and led through the important concepts associated with emotional intelligence. Below is a brief exposition into the concepts discussed in this book:Meaning of emotional intelligenceEmotional intelligence in the workplace ungekürzt.
