The Feminine Mystique , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 941min

Where the Right Went Wrong: How Neoconservatives Hijacked the Bush Presidency, Hörbuch, Digital, 294min
American Empire is at its apex. We are the sole superpower, with no potential challenger for a generation. We can reach any point on the globe with our cruise missiles and smart bombs, and our culture penetrates every nook and cranny of the global village. Yet our beloved America is now reviled abroad, dictated to by arrogant judges at home, overrun by special interests, and buried beneath a mountain of debt. Where the Right Went Wrong chronicles how the Bush administration and Beltway conservatives have abandoned their principles, and how a tiny cabal hijacked U.S. foreign policy and may have ignited a "war of civilizations" with the Islamic world that will leave America mired down in Middle East wars for years to come. At the same time, these Republicans have sacrificed the American worker on the altar of free trade and discarded the beliefs of Taft, Goldwater, and Reagan to become a party of big government that sells its soul to the highest bidder.

David Cassidy (eBook, ePUB)
"Behind the Scenes" is an unrestrained Memoir with astonishing insight from an unusual friendship between two people, one a celebrity the other from humble origins. A rollercoaster of emotions and changes in fortunes, leading to addiction and death for one. It is an extraordinary collaboration, gripping and moving a "no holds barred" read exposing a troubled and vulnerable man few people could imagine. It delivers revelations and penetrates the insidious unknown that results from Cassidy's chosen path. Lies, deceit and false promises abound which only serves to frustrate Cassidy's rehabilitation and his descent into a bottomless pit. Despite his best endeavours it was all to no avail. As if to complete an irretrievable redemption Cassidy now enters the world of pornography. The book covers a friendship forged and based on solid foundations. A friendship that came along at the right time for both men. The author is not economic with the truth and the contents of the book are not exaggerated or embroidered. It is a peek into the unknown which may question our previous perceptions and impressions of Cassidy. Endeavours are made to convey an understanding of the man behind the flaws rather than the reverse, If the book achieves that the promise to Cassidy to "tell all" will be fulfilled.- Shop: buecher
