    Native American Tribes: The History and Culture of the Arapaho , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 81min
    One of the most influential Native American tribes on the Great Plains was the Arapaho, a group so renowned among neighboring Native Americans that it's believed their name came from a Pawnee word for "trader. Like other notable Plains tribes, the Arapaho split off from other groups around the 16th-17th centuries and shifted from a sedentary agricultural society to the kind of nomadic group many envision when thinking of groups on the Plains. That nomadic lifestyle brought them into contact with the Sioux and Cheyenne, both of whom became allies as white settlers pushed west and led to conflicts. The United States sought to defuse tensions with natives during the westward push by drafting treaties regarding major pieces of land, often without understanding the complex structure of the various tribes, and subgroups within those tribes. Most notably, the Arapaho were victims of the Sand Creek Massacre in 1864, an action considered so heinous that the leader of the attack, Colonel John Chivington, was actually relieved of command after it. Ultimately, the Arapaho were forced onto reservations alongside the Shoshone, one of the tribes Lewis and Clark encountered on their historic expedition in the early 19th century. Today, they are jointly recognized with the Cheyenne, a group they were closely associated with for centuries. Native American Tribes: The History and Culture of the Arapaho comprehensively covers the culture and history of the famous group, profiling their origins, their history, and their lasting legacy. ungekürzt.

    The Treacherous Imagination: Intimacy, Ethics, and Autobiographical Fiction , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 492min
    Many authors have been accused of betraying their loved ones by turning them into fictional characters. In The Treacherous Imagination, Robert McGill examines the ethics of writing such stories. He argues that while fiction has long appealed to audiences with its narratives of private life, contemporary autobiographical fiction channels a widespread ambivalence about the value of telling all in a confessional age - an age in which fiction has an unprecedented power to leave people feeling libeled or exposed when they recognize themselves in it. Observing that the interests of authors and their loved ones in such cases are often less divergent than they appear, McGill assessed strategies by which both parties might use fiction not to hurt each other but to revise and revitalize intimacy. Discussing authors such as Philip Roth, Alice Munro, A. S. Byatt, and Hanif Kureishi, McGill questions whether people should always require exclusivity of each other with regard to the stories they tell about private life. Instead, authors and their intimates might jointly embrace fiction's playful, transgressive qualities, even while reexamining the significance of that fiction's intimations. In treating autobiographical fiction as both a willful public indiscretion and a mediator of intimate relations, The Treacherous Imagination provides a comprehensive account of the various potentials that fiction holds to harm and to help those who write it, those who read and listen to it, and those who see themselves in it. The book is published by The Ohio State University Press. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Joseph Steenburgh. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/051860/bk_acx0_051860_sample.mp3.

    Bargaining with the Devil: When to Negotiate, When to Fight, Hörbuch, Digital, 464min
    One of the country's most eminent practitioners of the art and science of negotiation offers practical advice for the most challenging conflicts - when you are facing an adversary you don't trust, who may harm you, or who you may even feel is evil. The head of Harvard's famed Program on Negotiation, Robert Mnookin provides tools for confronting devils of all kinds - in business, politics, and family life. Bargaining with the Devil guides the listener on how to make wise decisions about whether to negotiate or fight. Mnookin explains what it means to make a "wise decision" and identifies the emotional, strategic, and political traps to avoid. Drawing from a remarkable range of real-life stories, Mnookin offers his thoughtful guidance in disputes of all sorts where the temptation is to demonize: The CEO of a small high-tech company learns that his joint-venture partner, a big foreign corporation, has been secretly cheating him under a license agreement; IBM discovers that Fujitsu, its largest competitor, has copied its software; the San Francisco Symphony is torn apart by poisoned labor-management relations; divorcing spouses, each feeling wounded and betrayed, disagree about custody and support; three siblings are in conflict about what to do with a jointly inherited vacation property. Mnookin also examines decisions made in conflicts with evil regimes, where lives and liberty were at stake. This lively, informative, indispensable book identifies the tools one needs to make wise decisions about life's most challenging conflicts. Language: English. Narrator: Robert Mnookin.

    Lords of the Desert , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 847min
    Within a single generation, between 1945 and 1970, America replaced Britain as the dominant power in the Middle East. By any standard, it was an extraordinary role reversal, and it was one that came with very little warning. Starting in the 19th century, Britain had first established themselves as protector of the sheikhdoms along the southern shore of the Persian Gulf, before acquiring Aden, Cyprus and then Egypt and the Sudan. In the Great War in the 20th century they then added Palestine, Jordan and Iraq by conquest. And finally Britain had jointly run Iran with the Soviets since 1941 to defeat Hitler.The discovery of vast oil reserves in Saudi Arabia, at a time when the United States’ own domestic reserves seemed to be running low, made America’s initial interest commercial. But trade required political stability. Its absence led the United States to look more critically at the conduct of her major ally in the region.Added to this theatre of operations, the Zionists in Israel after World War One actively pursued a policy to establish and win an independent state for the Jews - which, spurred on by thousands of Jewish refugees from war-torn Europe, enabled them to build up the forces necessary to achieve power. How would Britain manage both Arab and Jewish positions and still maintain power? In 1943 they came up with an ambitious plan do so and in 1944 put it into action.Lords of the Desert tells this story. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Peter Noble.

    Die Frage nach Gott heute (eBook, ePUB)
    Was meinen Christinnen und Christen aus den unterschiedlichen Konfessionen, wenn sie von Gott sprechen? Geht es ihnen wirklich um einen autoritären, alles determinierenden Gott, wie die »Neuen Atheisten« meinen? Nein, sagt dieses Buch. Gott ist Bewegung, Lebendigkeit, Wechselbeziehung, Mitgehen und Mitleiden, auch Gegenbewegung gegen das Unheil. Das Buch enthält eine Studie, die die Mitglieder des Deutschen Ökumenischen Studienausschusses (DÖSTA) gemeinsam erarbeitet haben. Sie will den Kirchen aller Konfessionen sowie Hochschulinstituten Unterstützung für ihre Gemeinde-, Bildungs- und Öffentlichkeitsarbeit bieten. Sie ist allgemeinverständlich geschrieben und lädt dazu ein, in den klassischen christlichen Denktraditionen auf die Erfahrbarkeit des lebendigen Gottes zu achten. [The Question of God Today. New Ecumenical Approaches to Classical Traditions of Thought. A Study of the German Ecumenical Study Committee (DÖSTA)] What do Christians from different denominations mean when they speak of God? Are they really concerned about an authoritarian, all-determining God, as the »New Atheists« suggest? No, says this book. God is movement, liveliness, interrelation, going with and suffering with others, also counter-movement against disaster. The book contains a study jointly carried out by the members of the German Ecumenical Study Committee (Deutscher Ökumenischer Studienausschuss - DÖSTA). It wants to offer churches of all denominations and university institutes support for their congregational, educational and public relations work. It is written in a generally understandable way and invites to consider the possibility of experiencing the living God in the classical Christian traditions of thought.

    Humble Consulting: How to Provide Real Help Faster , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 357min
    This book reveals what it takes for consultants of all types, as well as organizational leaders, to be really helpful in dealing with the complex, systemic, constantly changing organizational problems of today. They need to rapidly create a relationship of trust and openness that enables clients, subordinates, and team members to reveal what is really on their minds and to jointly develop a sense of what is the problem and what kind of adaptive response could best deal with it. Schein first introduced some of these concepts in his foundational 1969 book Process Consultation, which is still in use today. But now clients don't have the time or patience for the endless questioning that characterized much of process consultation. And clients still expect consultants to hand them answers. But Schein has come to realize that answers from outsiders are useless, because they're often working the wrong problem, don't understand the client organization's culture, or ignore the fact that constant change makes today's solutions obsolete tomorrow. To achieve a joint sense of what to do requires consultants and other helpers to develop a different kind of relationship with clients - a set of attitudes and behaviors that Schein calls humble consulting. Schein shows how helpers can display from the moment of first contact a level of caring and curiosity to move from relationships of professional distance to relationships of personalized trust and openness. And he gives many examples of the profound changes in mindset, behavior, and daily actions that flow from this new helpful consulting model. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Joe Bronzi.

    Dear Mr Bigelow: A Transatlantic Friendship , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 775min
    Dear Mr Bigelow is an enchanting selection of weekly 'pen-pal' letters written between 1949 and 1961 from an unmarried woman working at the Pier Approach Baths in Bournemouth, to a wealthy American widower, living on Long Island, New York. Frances Woodsford and Commodore Paul Bigelow never met, and there was no romance - she was in her forties when he died aged ninety-seven - yet their epistolary friendship was her lifeline. The 'Saturday Specials' as Frances dubbed them, are brilliantly-packed missives, sparked with comic genius, from post-war England. We follow her travails at the Baths (and her ghastly boss Mr Bond); the hilarious weekly Civil Defence classes as the Cold War advances; her attempts to shake off Dr Russell, an unwanted suitor; life at home with Mother, and Mac, her charming ne'er-do-well brother; and escapades in their jointly-owned car, a 1934 Ford 8 called Hesperus. Most importantly, we get to know Frances - and her deep affection for Mr Bigelow. She started to write to him as a way of thanking his daughter for the clothes and food parcels she sent. But what had begun as a good turn offered Frances the chance to escape a trying job, and to expound with elegance, wit and verve on topical subjects from home and abroad, bringing us a beady commentary on her life and times that leaps vividly from the page. Her letters to Mr Bigelow during his final illness are a tender and moving farewell, a touching conclusion to a unique record. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Patience Tomlinson.
