The Vast Left Wing Conspiracy: The Story of How Democratic Operatives Tried to Bring Down a President, Hörbuch, Digital, 272min
The Left is angry; angry at President George W. Bush, the war in Iraq, the "right-wing media", and more. And as National Review investigative writer Byron York reveals in this stunning, meticulously reported book, liberal activists have harnessed that anger to build the biggest, richest, and best organized political movement in American history. Indeed, the Left's failure to oust President Bush in 2004 has obscured the fact that this new movement has transformed American politics. York documents the staggering scope of liberals' efforts, the record sums of money spent, the "shell game" financial maneuvers, the close coordination between "nonpartisan" groups and the Democratic Party, the revolutionary approaches to fund-raising and reaching out to voters, the pioneering use of movies and websites as campaign tools, and more. The Vast Left Wing Conspiracy provides a startling behind-the-scenes look at this powerful liberal movement. York brings the reader into secret powwows at Soros's Hamptons estate, into the Chinese restaurant where MoveOn is born, to a gala event where Al Franken rants about the evils of the right wing, to fund-raisers where liberals openly mock the election laws they're ignoring, to the movie premiere where Michael Moore is feted by top-ranking Democrats, into the Washington restaurant where Democratic operatives hatch their plan, and to many other spots along the way. One thing above all becomes clear: Despite their failure to win in 2004, liberals will only keep improving the well-oiled political machine they built. Language: English. Narrator: Byron York.

Deep Theta Meditation: Soundscapes for Deep Relaxation - Stress Relief - Hypnosis - Meditation, Hörbuch, Digital, 325min
It is not easy to explain how BRAIN ENTRAINMENT works. But it is all the more impressive to hear the results. This mindMAGIXX method is based on the basic research of the German physicist Heinrich Wilhelm Dove. He discovered that certain sounds can put our brain in a deep relaxed state through audio resonance. Here's a simple example: When you strike a tuning fork and then place another one next to it, the second tuning fork automatically begins to vibrate at exactly the same frequency. That's exactly what happens with BRAIN ENTRAINMENT. We stimulate our brainwaves with a low fundamental frequency.Research shows that this type of natural stimulation can be very helpful in relaxing, meditating, or falling asleep. The music feels as if it's gently stroking your head from the inside. An incredible feeling. The tracks vary between 5 and 10 hertz (deep theta range). Many people sense it so deeply that they fall asleep during the session. Others experience lucid images, as this theta level correlates closely with REM sleep, an EEG-detectable brain wave curve that occurs in a state of deep relaxation and during hypnosis.Content: 7 wonderfully relaxing soundscapes, each lasting 46 minutes. All tracks contain exactly the same clustering and sequence of deep theta impulses.Note: Laptop speakers are usually too small to transmit the full and excellent sound spectrum in this audiobook. We therefore recommend external speakers or good headphones or earbuds for a perfect effect. This way you can fully enjoy the intended effect. Language: English. Narrator: Ian Brannan.

The Color of Law: A Novel , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 741min
A poor-boy college football hero turned successful partner at a prominent Dallas firm, who long ago checked his conscience at the door, catches a case that forces him to choose between his enviable lifestyle and doing the right thing in this masterful debut legal thriller. Clark McCall, ne'er-do-well son of Texas millionaire senator and presidential hopeful Mack McCall, puts a major crimp in his father's election plans when he winds up murdered, apparently by Shawanda Jones, a heroin-addicted hooker, after a tawdry night of booze, drugs, and rough sex. Scott Fenney, who's worked his way to being a partner at an elite Dallas law firm, is assigned to provide Shawanda's pro bono defense after the federal judge on the case hears him deliver an inspiring, altruistic, and completely insincere, speech to the local bar association. Scott plans to farm the case out to an old law school buddy, do-good-attorney Bobby Herrin. But his plans go awry when Shawanda puts her foot down in court and refuses to be passed off to the lawyer she considers the lesser attorney. As the case unfolds, pressure is exerted on Scott to deter him from being too aggressive in his defense of Shawanda. That pressure becomes palpable as Scott is slowly stripped of the things he's come to care for most. Will he do the right thing, at a terrible cost, or the easy thing and keep his hard-earned fabulous life? With echoes of early John Grisham, The Color of Law is a provocative listen that marks the stunning debut of a major new talent. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Stephen Hoye.
