    French Rule in Louisiana: From New France to Creole Culture , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 72min
    In American colonial history, the Brits had New England, but the French had New France. In the 1600s, the French began ruling the Louisiana Territory, which spanned from the Gulf of Mexico all the way up to parts of Canada. What happened between the British and French colonies sealed the future of the English-speaking nation we know today. This audiobook details the rise and fall of New France, describing the role of the Seven Years’ War, Napoleon Bonaparte, and the Louisiana Purchase. Though French colonization ended more than 200 years ago, it left behind a distinct French flair and unique Creole culture that lives on in Louisiana today. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    Eye of the Beholder: Johannes Vermeer, Antoni van Leeuwenhoek, and the Reinvention of Seeing , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 814min
    See for yourself! was the clarion call of the 1600s. Natural philosophers threw off the yoke of ancient authority, peered at nature with microscopes and telescopes, and ignited the scientific revolution. Artists investigated nature with lenses and created paintings filled with realistic effects of light and shadow. The hub of this optical innovation was the small Dutch city of Delft. Here Johannes Vermeer's experiments with lenses and a camera obscura taught him how we see under different conditions of light and helped him create the most luminous works of art ever beheld. Meanwhile his neighbor Antoni van Leeuwenhoek's work with microscopes revealed a previously unimagined realm of minuscule creatures. The result was a transformation in both art and science that revolutionized how we see the world today. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Tamara Marston.

This art has been around for hundreds of years now and has been used by most people as a means to relieve stress and express themselves. One of the most popular journals is the one by Samuel Pepys, a naval administrator in the 1600s who made it a point to write down what happened in his lifetime--from his personal feelings to important events that affected not only him but the world as well. These events include the Anglo-Dutch War, the restoration of the English monarchy, and even the Great Fire and the Great Plague of London. Now a library in Cambridge is named after him. ungekürzt.

    A Macat Analysis of Geoffrey Parker's Global Crisis: War, Climate Change and Catastrophe in the Seventeenth Century , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 113min
    Distinguished British historian Geoffrey Parker spent 15 years writing this ambitious history of the tumultuous 17th century, when nations were in the grip of what was known as the General Crisis. First published in 2013, Global Crisis reveals that freak weather was a key reason why the people of the 1600s lurched between droughts, famines, and countless wars. Plunging temperatures in the Little Ice Age combined with bad political decisions spelled disaster for people, places, and societies worldwide. Parker dubbed this a "fatal synergy" between climate change and arrogant rulers that made the crisis worse and last longer. Parker draws together historical records, groundbreaking science, and case studies to provide an epic account of how human affairs are inexorably tied to the environment - and adds urgency to the contemporary international debate on climate change. ungekürzt.
