    The Invention of the Jewish People
    A historical tour de force, The Invention of the Jewish People offers a groundbreaking account of Jewish and Israeli history. Exploding the myth that there was a forced Jewish exile in the first century at the hands of the Romans, Israeli historian Shlomo Sand argues that most modern Jews descend from converts, whose native lands were scattered across the Middle East and Eastern Europe. In this iconoclastic work, which spent nineteen weeks on the Israeli bestseller list and won the coveted Aujourd'hui Award in France, Sand provides the intellectual foundations for a new vision of Israel's future.

    Blackshirts and Reds: Rational Fascism and the Overthrow of Communism
    Parenti explores the big issues of our time -- fascism, capitalism, communism, revolution, democracy, and ecology. He shows how "rational fascism" renders service to capitalism, how corporate power undermines democracy, and how revolutions are a mass empowerment against the forces of exploitative privilege. He maps out the internal and external forces that destroyed communism, and the disastrous impact of the "free market" victory on Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union. He affirms the relevance of taboo ideologies like Marxism, demonstrating the importance of class analysis in understanding political realities and the ongoing collision between ecology and global corporatism. A bold, entertaining, iconoclastic exploration of the epic struggles of yesterday and today.

    The American Political Tradition: And the Men Who Made It , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 1043min
    The American Political Tradition is one of the most influential and widely read historical volumes of our time. First published in 1948, its elegance, passion, and iconoclastic erudition laid the groundwork for a totally new understanding of the American past. By writing a "kind of intellectual history of the assumptions behind American politics", Richard Hofstadter changed the way Americans understand the relationship between power and ideas in their national experience. Like only a handful of American historians before him - Frederick Jackson Turner and Charles A. Beard are examples - Hofstadter was able to articulate, in a single work, a historical vision that inspired and shaped an entire generation. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Kaleo Griffith.

    A Clean, Well-Lighted Place , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 31min
    Here is Jon Krakauer's portrait of the iconoclastic architect Christopher Alexander, whose revolutionary human-centered approach has shaken the foundations of modern architecture. Krakauer delves into Alexander's life and career, from his theories on a timeless "pattern language" that could be used to create buildings and towns that were simultaneously more livable and more beautiful, to his belief that architecture is correctly viewed as a powerful social instrument; from his on-site drafting techniques to his design process that, like a cocoon, shapes a building from the inside out.  With trademark rigor, nuance, and insight, Krakauer powerfully draws us into Alexander's singular vision of human-centered design - one in which people reclaim control over their built environment. ungekürzt.
