    Women in Ancient America , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 509min
    This first comprehensive work on women in pre-Columbian American cultures describes gender roles and relationships in North, Central, and South America from 12,000 B.C. to the A.D. 1500s. Utilizing many key archaeological works, Karen Olsen Bruhns and Karen E. Stothert redress some of the long-standing male bias in writing about ancient Native American lifeways. Bruhns and Stothert focus on several of the most thought-provoking areas of study in the Americas: the origins of agriculture, the development of complex societies, the evolution of religious systems, and the interpretation of art and mortuary materials. The authors pay particular attention to the problems of interpreting archaeological remains and the uses of historic and ethnographic evidence in reconstructing the past. The book is published by University of Oklahoma Press. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Johanna Oosterwyk. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/035374/bk_acx0_035374_sample.mp3.

    Supernatural Serial Killers: What Makes Them Murder? , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 665min
    Albert Fish held the genuine belief that the murders he committed were upon instruction from God. Peter Stumpp, who started practicing the "wicked arts" from 12 years of age, was convinced he was a werewolf. There are many more murderous individuals like them. Supernatural Serial Killers explores the association between serial killers and the supernatural. The crimes committed by these men and women usually involved sexual deviance, cannibalism, and violence toward children. In 16th-century Europe, the problem became so significant that "werewolf witch trials" were conducted. Many have no idea that it was possible to be tried and convicted for the crime of being a werewolf, but lycanthropy was a serious and major social concern in the 1500s. In this book, approximately 20 supernatural serial killers are discussed, including their backgrounds, crimes, trials, and defenses. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: William Roberts.

    Martin Luther: The Leaders Series (Dramatized), Hörbuch, Digital, 60min
    Martin Luther, a man born of peasant stock in Saxony, was destined to change the religious thinking of Europe. Although intended to be a lawyer, an inner religious conflict caused him to enter a monastery. Then, after three years of its strict discipline, he became a professor of the University of Wittenberg. His career as a reformer began when he nailed his famous "Ninety-Five Theses" to the door of the Castle Church in Wittenberg on All Saints Day in 1517. In this audio biography, John MacKelvie, himself a Protestant Minister, brings to life the stirring days of the 1500s and traces the effect upon subsequent centuries of one humble but rebellious monk. The part of Martin Luther is played by John Green. Other parts are played by Gary Hope and Robin Scoby. Language: English. Narrator: Geoffrey Hinsliff, Full Cast.
