    Law and Authority , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 52min
    Pyotr Alexeyevich Kropotkin (1842-1921) was a geographer, a zoologist, and one of Russia's leading anarchists who advocated a communist society free from central government. Kropotkin's Law and Authority (1900) is a classic statement of anarchist thought. Considering prisons as “schools of crime”, he presents an anarchist critique of the law and the criminal-justice system. The text is much easier to understand than for example the works of Bakunin, and the argument is clearly stated for easy digestion. Kropotkin's argument is hard to dispute despite it being so simple. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Eric Colvin.

    The Natural History of Selborne , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 641min
    More than any other writer, Gilbert White (1720-93) has shaped the relationship between man and nature. A hundred years before Darwin, White realised the crucial role of worms in the formation of soil and understood the significance of territory and song in birds. His precise, scrupulously honest and unaffectedly witty observations led him to interpret animals’ behaviour in a unique manner. This collection of his letters to the explorer and naturalist Daines Barrington and the eminent zoologist Thomas Pennant - White’s intellectual lifelines from his country-village home - are a beautifully written, detailed evocation of the lives of the flora and fauna of 18th-century England. ungekürzt.

    King Mombo , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 245min
    Paul Belloni Du Chaillu (1831-1903) was an American anthropologist, traveller, and zoologist who became famous as the first outsider to confirm the existence of gorillas, and later of the Pygmy people of central Africa. From 1855 until 1859, he explored equatorial West Africa, and was offered warm hospitality by King Mombo who ruled a area in what is called Gabon today. The author’s descriptions of the vegetation of the rain forest and the way of life of the people are vivid and engaging. The narratives are filled with images of hunting, canoe rides, and encounters with wild animals like lions, leopards, elephants and gorillas. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Jacques Richey.

Experience tells her the only monsters are the human variety, and the bloodied stonemason certainly raises her suspicions. But when her investigation turns up everything from petrified remains to the headless carving of a dragon, the truth threatens to steal both her sanity and the man she's falling for.

    Last Chance to See
    After years of reflecting on the absurdities of life on other planets, Douglas Adams teamed up with zoologist Mark Carwardine to find out what was happening to life on this one. Together they lead us on an unforgettable journey across the world in search of exotic, endangered creatures - animals that they may never get another chance to see. They encounter the animal kingdom in its stunning beauty, astonishing variety, and imminent peril: the giant Komodo dragon of Indonesia, the helpless but lovable Kakapo of New Zealand, the blind river dolphins of China, the white rhinos of Zaire, the rare birds of Mauritius island in the Indian Ocean. Both funny and poignant, Last Chance to See is the tale of an unforgettable wildlife odyssey - and a timely reminder of all that we must protect.
