The Anti-Mary Exposed: Rescuing the Culture from Toxic Femininity , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 345min
In the late ’60s, a small group of elite American women convinced an overwhelming majority of the country that destroying the most fundamental of relationships - mother and child - was necessary for women to have productive and happy lives.The decay of the entire family, and almost overnight, our once pro-life culture became pro-lifestyle, embracing everything that felt good. Sixty million abortions later, women aren’t showing signs of health, happiness, and fulfillment. Increased numbers of divorce, depression, anxiety, sexually transmitted disease, and drug abuse all point to the reality that women aren’t happier, just more medicated.Building off the scriptural foundations of the anti-Christ, Carrie Gress makes an in-depth investigation into the idea of an anti-Mary - as a spirit, not an individual - that has plagued the West since the ’60s. In The Anti-Mary Exposed, you'll learn:How toxic femininity has destroyed the lives of countless men, women, and children.How radical feminism is connected to the errors of Russia, spoken of by Our Lady of Fatima.The involvement and influence of the goddess movement and the occult.The influence of “female” demons, such as Lilith and Jezebel.The repulsive underbelly of radical feminism’s chief architects.A look at the matriarchy, a cabal of elite women committed to abortion, who control the thinking of most women through media, politics, Hollywood, fashion, and universities.The antidote, of course, is Mary, the Mother of God; the source of the belief that women should be treated with dignity; the beacon of the purity, humility, kindness, and beauty that oppose this sinister force; the perfect model of Christian femininity; and our spiritual mother who leads us to her Son, and to the fulfillment of our heart’s deepest desires. ungekürzt.

Political Order and Political Decay : From the Industrial Revolution to the Globalization of Democracy , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 1441min
The second volume of the best-selling landmark work on the history of the modern state. Writing in the Wall Street Journal, David Gress called Francis Fukuyama's Origins of Political Order "magisterial in its learning and admirably immodest in its ambition." In the New York Times Book Review, Michael Lind described the book as "a major achievement by one of the leading public intellectuals of our time." And in the Washington Post, Gerard DeGrott exclaimed "this is a book that will be remembered. Bring on volume two." Volume two is finally here, completing the most important work of political thought in at least a generation. Taking up the essential question of how societies develop strong, impersonal, and accountable political institutions, Fukuyama follows the story from the French Revolution to the so-called Arab Spring and the deep dysfunctions of contemporary American politics. He examines the effects of corruption on governance, and why some societies have been successful at rooting it out. He explores the different legacies of colonialism in Latin America, Africa, and Asia, and offers a clear-eyed account of why some regions have thrived and developed more quickly than others. And he boldly reckons with the future of democracy in the face of a rising global middle class and entrenched political paralysis in the West. A sweeping, masterful account of the struggle to create a well-functioning modern state, Political Order and Political Decay is destined to be a classic.

Imaginary Friends
Seine ersten beiden ECM-Alben als Leader - Baida (2013) und Quiver (2016) - brachten dem Trompeter Ralph Alessi großes Lob ein. Die New York Times pries "die elegante Präzision und Kraft" in Baida, während The Guardian Quiver bejubelte für die "makellose Technik und Fähigkeit" Alessis, "an die Tradition des Jazz anzuknüpfen und zugleich ihre Klischees zu vermeiden". Nach diesen Quartett-Alben präsentiert Alessis drittes ECM-Album, Imaginary Friends, ihn in einem schon seit vielen Jahren eingespielten Quintett, und zwar in dessen erster Aufnahme seit 2010. Unter seinen Mitspielern gesellt sich zu Alessi mit dem Saxophonisten Ravi Coltrane ein Seelenverwandter, ein Studio- und Bühnenpartner des Trompeters seit ihrem gemeinsamen Studium am California Institute of the Arts in den späten 80er Jahren. Ergänzt werden sie durch den Pianisten Andy Milne und den Schlagzeuger Mark Ferber - für beide ihr ECM-Debüt -, sowie durch den Bassisten Drew Gress, der bereits auf Baida und Quiver zu hören war.- Shop: odax

The Wandering
Ein anspruchsvolles Album liegt uns hier vor. Der Pianist und Komponist Randy Ingram zeigt zusammen mit dem Bassisten Drew Gress die hohe Kunst des Duospiels. Zusammen zelebrieren die beiden Musiker Eigenkompositionen, aber auch Stücke bekannter Jazzer wie Wayne Shorter und Kenny Wheeler. Das einfühlsame, teils getragene Spiel der beiden Künstler formt sich zu einer perfekten musikalischen Einheit. Absolut hörenswert!- Shop: odax

Quiver
Als der Trompeter Ralph Alessi im Jahr 2013 mit Baida sein Leader-Debüt bei ECM gab, schrieb Nate Chinen in einem JazzTimes-Beitrag, dass sich hier "alles für Alessi richtig fügte." "Ohne seinem Hang für gegensätzliche Energien nachzugeben, ist dies ein stimmiges Statement - nicht bloß sein vollkommenstes Album, sondern vielmehr ein Kandidat für eines der besten Alben dieses Jahres." Baida entwickelte sich zu einer der meist gepriesenen Veröffentlichungen von Alessis Karriere, wobei die New York Times die Musik für ihre Balance aus "eleganter Präzision und Kraft" lobte. Auf Quiver arbeitet Alessi nun mit dem Pianisten Gary Versace und der langjährigen Rhythmusgruppe seiner Wahl - bestehend aus Bassist Drew Gress und Schlagzeuger Nasheet Waits - und erschafft einen Nachfolger voller agiler Melodieführungen und subtil energiegeladener Rhythmen. Alessis Spiel wohnt eine Lyrik inne, die Vorläufer wie Miles Davis und Kenny Wheeler in reflektierenden, mitunter schwermütigen Stimmungen spiegelt. Downbeat beschreibt es so: "Alessi arbeitet zwischen den Noten, seine Soli sind so meditativ wie die Kunst eines Kalligraphen, jede Linie frei schwebend und selbsterklärend, aber von makelloser Gestalt und Schönheit."- Shop: odax
