  Push Back: Guilt in the Age of Natural Parenting , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 638min

  A Harvard-trained obstetrician-gynecologist, a prominent blogger, and author of the classic How Your Baby Is Born delivers a timely, important, and sure to be headline-making exposé that shines a light on the natural parenting movement and the multimillion-dollar industry behind it. The natural parenting movement praises the virtues of birth without medical interference, staunchly advocates breastfeeding for all mothers, and hails attachment parenting. Once the exclusive province of the alternative lifestyle, natural parenting has gone mainstream, becoming a lucrative big business today. But those who do not subscribe to this method are often made to feel as if they are doing their children harm. Dr. Amy Tuteur understands their apprehensions. "Parenting quickly feels synonymous with guilt. And of late there is no bigger arena for this pervasive guilt than childbirth." As a medical professional with a long career in obstetrics and gynecology and as the mother of four children, Tuteur is no stranger to the insurmountable pressures and subsequent feelings of blame and self-condemnation that mothers experience during their children's early years. The natural parenting movement, she contends, is not helping them raise their children better. Instead it capitalizes on their uncertainty, manipulating parents when they are most vulnerable. In Push Back, she chronicles the movement's history from its roots to its modern practices, incorporating her own experiences as a mother and successful OB-GYN with original research on the latest in childbirth science. She also reveals the dangerous and overtly misogynistic motives of some of its proponents - conservative men who seek to limit women's control and autonomy. As she debunks, one by one, the guilt-inducing myths of natural birth and parenting, Dr. Tuteur empowers women to embrace the method of childbirth that is right for them while reassuring all parents that the most important th ungekürzt.

  Provoked: Make Me Book 1 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 615min, (USK 18)

  When a museum executive secretary, who barely tolerates men, has a run in with an infamous BDSM Master, Neil Cannon, a man who lives to discipline women, there's little she can do about it. Why? The Master thinks Charlotte, a.k.a Charlie, is her kink-loving, totally outrageous, and continually stirring-up-trouble twin sister. And after what Charlie just did, he has to keep thinking that. At least until she can find a way to climb out of the huge mess her well-meaning intentions have landed her in. She'll take the punishments the Master intends for her twin. She'll even put up with him and his misogynistic antics if it means she'll be able to unlock the secrets that will save her family. All she has to do is behave like her sister. How hard could it be to emulate a fearless, over-confident, rebellious woman, with highly questionable sexual standards? Neil's been waiting months for the chance to deal with this audacious sub who's been jacking up the testosterone levels of his vanilla crew whenever her sports car needed maintenance. That's why he made the service call himself. He's confident she won't be yanking his chain, because if she tries he's prepared to yank it right back. Or so he thought until she turns out to be different than what he expected her to be. She starts pushing buttons he didn't know he had. She's flipping internal switches, lighting things up, creating a whole new level of dominant need he's determined to explore, enjoy, and satisfy. Unfortunately, before either of them can get a handle on the D/s chemistry exploding between them, she takes off. It's then he discovers that she's invited a part of his past, that he's promised to steer clear of, right to his front door. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Kai Kennicott, Wen Ross.

  Witness for the Defence, Hörbuch, Digital, 18min

  The dramatised narrative Witness for the Defence relates an account of the unacceptable, but still prevalent, degradation of domestic violence. It remains an appalling fact that in the 21st century there are women all over the world who are being violated, both mentally and physically, by their abusive male partners - women who are reduced to a state of submissive, humiliating, subservience and despair, brain-washed, beaten ,and coerced into total submission. Too often they are alienated from their closest family. They are deprived of their property and kept under permanent surveillance. Such tragic women are subjugated and dispossessed of every natural human dignity and freedom, until they have nothing left in life to live for. This abusive behaviour is always perpetrated behind closed doors by men whom the rest of society may see as good natured and friendly. These men are control freaks, cunning psychopaths, who prey on vulnerable women, driven on by the cruelty and sense of power they derive from their achievements and behaviour. Many move from one woman to another in their misogynistic progress through life, leaving behind a trail of ruined lives. Sadly, all too often innocent children grow up in these abusive dysfunctional circumstances, with undesirable males as their role models, and, as adults, believe women must be submissive. Domestic violence is found at all levels of society and is prevalent in ethnic groups worldwide, especially amongst women for whom the education system has failed. Witness for the Defence seeks to shine a light into this 'crime without a public face'. The author, Margaret Harland-Suddes, is from central Northumbria in England. She was born and educated in the beautiful Cathedral City of Durham, where she attended both school and university. Margaret's entire adult life has been spent in education, where she has been particularly, but not exclusively, involved in English, art, and dr Language: English.

  Stepbrother Untouchable , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 395min, (USK 18)

  Calling Nate Thornhill a rich, cocky, arrogant asshole would be an understatement. He also happens to be stunningly handsome, popular, intelligent, and captain of both the crew and lacrosse teams at UVA. I hate him for thinking he's untouchable - not because he's a narcissistic, privileged, borderline-misogynistic heartbreaker but because he's right. His first words to me were at a crew house party, and he invited me to have a threesome with him and a random girl. I could've died from the embarrassment; he didn't even know my name at the time, and he didn't care to. After that night I promised myself never to waste another second thinking about Nate Thornhilll. My world becomes a nightmare when I realize my mom's new husband, Pierce, has a son who's my age...and he's a junior at UVA, too. I can't believe my eyes when Nate walks over and sits down next to us at dinner, introducing himself like he's never seen me before in his life. Then I feel his hand on my thigh - underneath the tablecloth, with our parents sitting across from us - inching closer and closer to my panties. My mind goes fuzzy, my heart starts racing, and my body does exactly what I don't want it to do. And then they hit me with the worst news of all…. Pierce has an internship lined up for me at his firm, and we're going to live at his Eastern Shore mansion for the summer. I'll be sleeping down the hall from my new stepbrother...arguing with him at every breakfast, sitting across from him at every dinner, watching as he brings an endless string of girls back to his room...secretly wishing I was one of them. Stepbrother Untouchable is a standalone novel. It contains adult themes, harsh language, and graphic sexual content. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Sierra Kline.

In the days before Homeira Qaderi gave birth to her son, Siawash, the road to the hospital in Kabul would often be barricaded because of the frequent suicide explosions.

  15 Reasons People Voted for Trump in 2016 and Why These Don't Apply in 2020 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 161min

  This audiobook is one person’s attempt at having his voice heard. The author describes himself only as a United States citizen and voter because that is all that matters in this case. He is not a celebrity, a social media performer, a politician, or a pundit. You have not heard of him before, and he has no expectation of future fame. He is an ordinary American, but he has something to say, and he says it here.There are volumes of text written about Trump’s inclinations toward racist and/or misogynistic behavior, and this book does not address those claims in any detail. Such claims, after all, were well known to the Trump voters in 2016, and that fact did not prevent a Trump presidency. This book, instead, goes to the thinking of the Trump voter herself.It lists 15 seemingly practical reasons that people gave for voting Trump in 2016 and then puts the Trump presidency up against the light of this reasoning. This audiobook provides thoughtful analysis and ample documentation supporting its primary claim which is that the noted reasons given to vote for Trump in 2016 no longer apply in 2020.It is understood that people who are Trump diehards will likely not be swayed by this book, but if you have some doubts and are merely leaning toward a 2020 Trump vote (or you know someone who is), this book is a compact reminder of why further exploration of those doubts is warranted.This audiobook isn’t just for the right-leaning. It is for all citizens who expect more from our governmental system, recognizing that we, as its citizenry, should be the ones most central to it. This requires that we be responsible and honest. We need the courage to be able to think for ourselves and handle “tribal tremors” that threaten to shake us from the party line of our political team.Each of the 15 reasons is presented with a brief explanation of the thinking in 2016, a 2019 update reviewing the Trump administration related to that reason, and then a direc ungekürzt.

  Socialism: A Lie Full of Hope , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 748min

  Every day Americans hear of its equality, its fairness, its superiority. The “it”, is socialism. All the while, we’re told that the free market is rigged, uncaring, misogynistic, unfair, unjust, and racist. We're told that socialism can fix all of this by taking from the rich and giving to the poor, and that all we have to do to find peace, equality, to end sexism, racism, to save the planet, to find utopia, is to replace the free market with socialism. Though few can describe it, a growing number of people call themselves socialists. The media “Burn for Bernie” and lavish praise on AOC. Hate filled, divisive, virtue signaling, hypocritical rhetoric, is ignored by many in the media that agree with the spin. Proselytizing on their behalf, it’s supposed to be a common-sense message of compassion spread by television, bias web results, streaming platforms, college professors, the news, politicians, as well as Hollywood. It’s no surprise that the movement has spread like a cancer through a one-sided debate full of misinformation. This book offers explanations as to why many, often well-meaning people, are turning to socialism. It focuses mostly on economics, and why socialism falls short of a free market. But it also discusses the pervasive bias that surrounds nearly every aspect of our daily lives. It looks at the reality of outcomes between capitalism and socialism. It focuses on the hypocrisy of America’s “new” democratic socialists. I explain why the free market is actually the proven, and more moral system. To keep it simple, I do this through the use of basic statistics, economics, history, current events, and relatable stories. As a father, veteran, MBA, classical liberal, and an all-around history and economics nerd, I felt compelled to speak up about this subject! Our future depends on others understanding basic economics and the dangers of socialism before the promotion of free thought, and the free exchange of goods and ideas, is a rel ungekürzt.
