The Agrarian Vision: Sustainability and Environmental Ethics: Culture of the Land , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 987min

As industry and technology proliferate in modern society, sustainability has jumped to the forefront of contemporary political and environmental discussions. The balance between progress and the Earth's ability to provide for its inhabitants grows increasingly precarious as we attempt to achieve sustainable development. In The Agrarian Vision: Sustainability and Environmental Ethics, Paul B. Thompson articulates a new agrarian philosophy, emphasizing the vital role of agrarianism in modern agricultural practices. Thompson, a highly regarded voice in environmental philosophy, unites concepts of agrarian philosophy, political theory, and environmental ethics to illustrate the importance of creating and maintaining environmentally conscious communities. Thompson describes the evolution of agrarian values in America, following the path blazed by Thomas Jefferson, John Steinbeck, and Wendell Berry. Providing a pragmatic approach to ecological responsibility and commitment, The Agrarian Vision is a significant, compelling argument for the practice of a reconfigured and expanded agrarianism in our efforts to support modern industrialized culture while also preserving the natural world. ungekürzt.

Profiled: The Zodiac Examined : The Zodiac Serial Killer, Book 2 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 857min

The search continues.... Following up on the meticulously-detailed research of Hunted: The Zodiac Murders, Profiled: The Zodiac Examined goes beyond the case files to develop a comprehensive criminal profile that examines the personality, psychology, physical characteristics, and motives of the Zodiac. Based in the same detailed research of Hunted, Profiled sticks to the facts and articulates at every step how the conclusions of the profile were reached. At the time the Zodiac was committing his crimes, the term “serial killer” had not yet been coined, and psychological profiles were practically unknown. Now, using 21st-century crime analytics and a sophisticated understanding of serial killers, it is possible to create a comprehensive profile that may help identify the kind of man who could commit these terrible crimes and get away with it for decades, despite an overabundance of evidence that should have pointed directly to him. Join the search for the killer as the evidence is compiled and analyzed in Profiled: The Zodiac Examined. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Mark Redfield.

Thus Spoke Zarathustra (eBook, ePUB)

Friedrich Nietzsche's "Thus Spoke Zarathustra", written in the years 1883 to 1885, is a pretty unusual book in the history of Western philosophy. It is not really a novel, it is not really poetry, nor is it a traditional philosophical treatise. "Thus Spoke Zarathustra" is a philosophical parable that follows the wanderings of a character called Zarathustra, a Nietzschean prophet. The piece is filled with irony and no more so than in the naming of its hero, Zarathustra. The historical Zarathustra is believed to be the founder of the ancient monotheistic tradition Zoroastrianism, which articulates a Manichean, 'good vs. evil' view of the world. Traditional Zoroastrianism sees good and evil as fundamental aspects of reality, beyond interpretation or human discourse. Nietzsche's perspective, and that of his protagonist Zarathustra, is the opposite of Zoroastrianism; this is meant as a kind of ironic joke. Nietzsche's underlying argument is that all human values are created by humans, rather than gods, or nature, or some underlying fundamental reality.

When Darkness Seems My Closest Friend: Reflections on Life and Ministry with Depression , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 373min

‘I’m looking for the words and writing for those who can’t imagine the words.’ Mark Meynell articulates a heart pain that most of us simply couldn’t express. He connects strongly and immediately with fellow cave dwellers. We relive significant moments from boarding school, Uganda, Berlin and London. We visit the Psalms, Job and The Pilgrim’s Progress. If you’re after neat conclusions and a fair-weather faith, this is not for you. This audiobook serves up gritty reality and raw honesty but also the heartfelt hope that the author’s brokenness ‘can somehow contribute to another person’s integration’ and ‘inspire their clinging while beset by darkness or fog or blizzards’. About the author: Mark Meynell is Director for Langham Preaching and Langham Partnership (Europe and Caribbean). For nine years, until 2014, he worked on the senior Ministry team at All Souls Langham Place, London. Previously he had been involved in student ministry and taught biblical studies at a seminary in Kampala, Uganda. He blogs at Quaerentia. He is married to Rachel, and they have two teenage children. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Mark Meynell. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/lbrk/000613/bk_lbrk_000613_sample.mp3.

Birds of Paradise Lost , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 457min

The thirteen stories in Birds of Paradise Lost shimmer with humor and pathos as they chronicle the anguish and joy and bravery of America's newest Americans, the troubled lives of those who fled Vietnam and remade themselves in the San Francisco Bay Area. The past memories of war and its aftermath; of murder, arrest, re-education camps, and new economic zones; of escape and shipwreck and atrocity are ever present in these wise and compassionate stories. It plays itself out in surprising ways in the lives of people who thought they had moved beyond the nightmares of war and exodus. It comes back on TV in the form of a confession from a cannibal; it enters the Vietnamese restaurant as a Vietnam Vet with a shameful secret; it articulates itself in the peculiar tics of a man with Tourette's Syndrome who struggles to deal with a profound tragedy. Birds of Paradise Lost is an emotional tour de force, intricately rendering the false starts and revelations in the struggle for integration, and in so doing, the human heart. ungekürzt.

The Hacker Ethic and the Spirit of the New Economy: A Radical Approach to the Philosophy of Business, Hörbuch, Digital, 307min

Nearly a century ago, Max Weber's The Protestant Ethic and The Spirit of Capitalism articulated the animating spirit of the industrial age. Now, Pekka Himanen - together with Linus Torvalds and Manuel Castells - articulates how hackers* represent a new, opposing ethos for the information age. Underlying hackers' technical creations - such as the Internet and the personal computer, which have become symbols of our time - are the hacker values that produced them and that challenge us all. These values promote passionate and freely rhythmic work; the belief that individuals can create great things by joining forces in imaginative ways; and the need to maintain our existing ethical ideals, such as privacy and equality, in our new, increasingly technological society. The Hacker Ethic takes us on a journey through fundamental questions about life in the information age - a trip of constant surprises, after which our time and our lives can be seen from unexpected perspectives.*In the original meaning of the word, hackers are enthusiastic computer programmers who share their work with others; they are not computer criminals.

Perfect Youth: The Birth of Canadian Punk , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 571min

While many volumes devoted to the punk and hardcore scenes in America grace bookstore shelves, Canada’s contributions to the genre remain largely unacknowledged. For the first time, the birth of Canadian punk - a transformative cultural force that spread across the country at the end of the 1970s - is captured between the pages of this important resource. Delving deeper than standard band biographies, this book articulates how the advent of punk reshaped the culture of cities across Canada, speeding along the creation of alternative means of cultural production, consumption, and distribution. Describing the origins of bands such as D.O.A., the Subhumans, the Viletones, and Teenage Head alongside lesser-known regional acts from all over Canada, it is the first published account of the first wave of punk in places like Regina, Ottawa, Halifax, and Victoria. Proudly staking Canada’s claim as the starting point for many internationally famous bands, this book unearths a forgotten musical and cultural history of drunks and miscreants, future country stars, and political strategists. ungekürzt.

Two Treatises of Government , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 602min

Often considered the foundation of political liberalism, John Locke's Two Treatises of Government was first published anonymously in 1689, in the wake of England's Glorious Revolution. In The First Treatise of Government, Locke refutes the idea of divine monarchy, while The Second Treatise of Government articulates Locke's philosophy of government, which he based upon his theories of natural rights and the social contract. In Locke's view, governments' legitimacy is based upon their performance of their proper functions---preservation of the life, liberty, and property rights of their citizens, and protection from those who seek to violate these rights. A radical doctrine at the time of its publication, Locke's theories provided a philosophical basis for many of the principles behind the American Revolution. More than 300 years after the publication of the Two Treatises of Government, Locke's ideas continue to spark debate. A must-listen for anyone interested in the foundations of contemporary political ideology, Locke's hugely influential work will retain its relevance for generations to come. ungekürzt.
