    Atlas of the 2020 Elections (eBook, ePUB)
    The 2020 presidential election was one of the most historic, contested, and contentious in American history. Joe Biden was the oldest person elected president. Kamala Harris was the first female elected vice president and the first vice president of Black and Asian descent. The primaries, campaigns, and elections were held for the first time amid an international and national pandemic. Despite this, voter turnout was the highest in 120 years. Donald Trump was the first president in modern times who refused to concede, leading to numerous lawsuits over the election process and results, although election litigation and state officials found no evidence of large-scale voter fraud. Nevertheless, continued claims of a stolen election led to a riotous mob occupation of the US Capitol on January 6, 2021, in an attempt to overturn the Electoral College results.The Atlas of the 2020 Elections explains the results of the 2020 elections with a series of unique maps unleashing the illustrative power of cartography and the relevance of history and political geography. The contributors-a balanced mix of geographers, political scientists, and historians-provide a comprehensive examination of the election process from the primary campaigns through the general election and post-election events. In addition to the presidential election, the Atlas has full coverage of other important races, including congressional races, state races, and local and state referenda. Illustrated with more than 150 meticulously drawn full-color maps and numerous graphs and tables, the Atlas will be an essential reference and a fascinating resource for scholars, teachers, students, pundits, campaign staff, and political junkies alike, and for all who care about the American democratic process.

    Witness to Hope: The Biography of Pope John Paul II, Hörbuch, Digital, 555min
    Now, with an updated preface, the latest edition of the definitive biography of Pope John Paul II that explores how influential he was on the world stage and in some of the most historic events of the 20th century that can still be felt today."Fascinating...sheds light on the history of the 20th century for everyone." (New York Times Book Review)Witness to Hope is the authoritative biography of one of the singular figures - some might argue the singular figure - of our time. With unprecedented cooperation from John Paul II and the people who knew and worked with him throughout his life, George Weigel offers a groundbreaking portrait of the Pope as a man, a thinker, and a leader whose religious convictions defined a new approach to world politics - and changed the course of history. As even his critics concede, John Paul II occupied a unique place on the world stage and put down intellectual markers that no one could ignore or avoid as humanity entered a new millennium fraught with possibility and danger.The Pope was a man of prodigious energy who played a crucial, yet insufficiently explored, role in some of the most momentous events of our time, including the collapse of European communism, the quest for peace in the Middle East, and the democratic transformation of Latin America. With an updated preface, this edition of Witness to Hope explains how this "man from a far country" did all of that, and much more - and what both his accomplishments and the unfinished business of his pontificate mean for the future of the Church and the world.  Language: English.

    The Bluffer's Guide® to Negotiation , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 111min
    Be an instant expert on Negotiation and Bluff Your Way to a resounding resolution. No showboating required, just a sense of humour. From 'posturing' to 'point scoring', and from 'drilling down' to 'dividing the pie', hereï¿¿ï¿¿ï¿¿s everything you need to know to out-manoeuvre the opposition and achieve omnipotence.Extracts from the book:Strategic ThinkingGiven a choice between preparing the subject matter by studying it, or preparing a strategy, most negotiators are content to skip the subject matter. This frequently leads to negotiations where neither party knows much about what they are bargaining over, but each has a complex plan to ensure they win. This usually works out remarkably well. Noto beneEvery negotiator knows the expression 'perception is reality' and some even know what it means. This probably explains why negotiators are fond of bringing notes to the negotiation. Any notes (and they don't have to be on the subject at hand) are valuable. They will give the perception that some preparation has been done. In some circles large folded drawings can create a good impression. Trivial pursuitIn order to secure a bargain in which you get what is important and concede what is trivial, it helps immeasurably if you can distinguish one from the other. the best negotiators will create a lengthy squabble about a trivial point, with every intention ofconceding it. By contrast, many novice bluffers fall into the trap of conceding the trivial far too easily, often without getting anything in exchange.

    Red Platoon: A True Story of American Valour , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 749min
    The only comprehensive, firsthand account of the 13-hour firefight at the Battle of Keating, by Medal of Honor recipient Clinton Romesha, for listeners of Black Hawk Down by Mark Bowden and Lone Survivor by Marcus Luttrell. "'It doesn't get better.' To us that phrase nailed one of the essential truths, maybe even the essential truth, about being stuck at an outpost whose strategic and tactical vulnerabilities were so glaringly obvious to every soldier who had ever set foot in that place that the name itself - Keating - had become a kind of backhanded joke." In 2009 Clinton Romesha of Red Platoon and the rest of the Black Knight Troop were preparing to shut down Command Outpost Keating, the most remote and inaccessible in a string of bases built by the US military in Nuristan and Kunar in the hope of preventing Taliban insurgents from moving freely back and forth between Afghanistan and Pakistan. Three years after its construction, the army was finally ready to concede what the men on the ground had known immediately: it was simply too isolated and too dangerous to defend. On October 3, 2009, after years of constant smaller attacks, the Taliban finally decided to throw everything they had at Keating. The ensuing 13-hour battle - and eventual victory - cost eight men their lives. Red Platoon is the riveting firsthand account of the Battle of Keating, told by Romesha, who spearheaded both the defence of the outpost and the counterattack that drove the Taliban back beyond the wire and received the Medal of Honor for his actions. ungekürzt.

    From Plato to Post-modernism: Understanding the Essence of Literature and the Role of the Author, Hörbuch, Digital, 734min
    Any lover of Shakespeare or the Romantic poets can concede that poetry is pleasurable. But is it good for you? Can it teach you anything? These are questions that have beguiled and engaged eminent critics for millennia, and now you can develop your own answers and options with these 24 lectures. The source of poetry's wellspring; the relationship between poetry and human progress; the possible truths (and lies) involved in the literary arts; the role of the author; these lectures tap into an enormous range of material to explore these and other provocative issues. You'll follow the strands of this "conversation" between philosophy and the literary arts down the millennia, profiting from in-depth analyses of works by Plato, Aristotle, Horace, Sir Philip Sidney, Dryden, Pope, Wordsworth, Shelley, Coleridge, Matthew Arnold, T.S. Eliot, Northrop Frye, Foucault, Derrida, and more. Throughout these lectures, you'll meet the poet in many guises. These include: the divine poet (a supernatural creator who transcends the laws of nature), the alchemical poet (the inspired individual who fuses humanity's divided nature into one), the common poet (the poet who roots himself or herself in the real world and speaks for the common individual), the playful poet (who champions sensitivity of feeling, contradictory truths, and uncertainties), and the prisoner poet (who's a product of, and a slave to, his or her own subconscious suppositions). By concentrating on critical reflections about poetry - the oldest of the literary arts - you'll come away with lessons on how to understand literature, and all of the arts, more generally. More importantly, you'll be prepared to join in these critical conversations yourself. PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your Library section along with the audio. Language: English. Narrator: Louis Markos.

    The Philadelphia Quarry: Willie Black, Book 2 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 422min
    Black is back. Willie Black was last seen, in Oregon Hill, risking the final tattered remnants of his checkered career - and his life - to free a man almost everyone else believed guilty. Willie's still covering the night police beat with its violent drug deals and dirt naps, still avoiding the hawk that periodically swoops down to pluck away a few more of his colleagues in a floundering business. He still drinks too much, smokes too much, and disobeys too much. The only thing that keeps him employed is that he's a damn fine reporter. Even his beleaguered bosses would concede that. Willie finds himself neck-deep in a part of Richmond that a boy growing up in Oregon Hill could only experience through illicit midnight sorties to the city's most exclusive swimming hole. The Quarry was where Alicia Parker Simpson identified Richard Slade as her rapist 28 years ago. Five days after DNA evidence recently freed Slade from the prison system in which he had spent his adult life, Alicia Simpson was found shot to death. Almost everyone thinks Slade did it - who can blame them? - but Willie has his doubts. And when the full weight of the city's old money falls on him, trying to crush the story, he becomes even more determined to chase the thing that always seems to get him into trouble: the truth. That Richard Slade is his cousin and a link to his long-dead African American father only makes Willie that much more tenacious. In the end Willie will be drawn back to the Philadelphia Quarry, where it all started so long agoand in whose murky waters the truth lies. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Kevin Kenerly.

    Breakout Bold: Experience Your Extraordinary , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 125min
    Nobody should settle to live a life without purpose, one that fails to deliver personal accomplishment and happiness. All of us are born with uncommon gifts, an array of abilities and talents that grow to great heights when the conditions are right. These same gifts, however, might remain dormant and die, much like seeds should they not experience favorable soil or climate. So how do we position ourselves in the proper environment to thrive? How do we escape unfavorable circumstances and avoid living a life where we settle ourselves short?The key is to learn how to uncover and passionately pursue your mental, spiritual, and physical gifts so that you can breakout bold - act confident, risk without fear. And only when you uncover your true gifts will boldness activate. Break Out Bold is for those who want to experience a life fulfilled - one immersed with true joy, amazing opportunity, and miraculous accomplishment.Many people go through life and fail to uncover their gifting. They silence the inner voice that speaks boldly of dreams and possibilities. They react and operate out of fear, real or imagined instead of learning to be fearless. Outside influence and circumstance commands attention and slowly causes them to quiet any inner voice that speaks of passion, gifts, and purpose.Some of these external "silencers" are familiar. It may be a parent, sibling, relative, or family friend. Their comments and actions influence your thoughts and frame your reality. They blame their own unfulfilled life on others, on human history, geography, DNA, and unseen forces. They choose to wallow in circumstance, and easily concede defeat. Other silencers may be teachers, coaches, faith-leaders, or so-called mentors that give counsel, but unchecked or measured, their advice only leads to a safe life plan - a mediocre existence rather than a life filled with bold pursuits leading to success, happiness, and a destiny fulfilled. If you listen to these ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Greg Hodson. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/182354/bk_acx0_182354_sample.mp3. Digital audiobook in aax.
