    The World's Oldest Astrological Book: The Bhrigu Samhita of Ancient India , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 32min
    This is the story of how one young scholar from America discovered a new the ancient astrological book in the foothills of the Himalayan mountains and found that a treatise written thousands of years ago had pinpointed details about his present life.Millenniums ago, during an untraceable time in India's history, the renowned sage Bhrigu reigned as the world's greatest astrologer. His mastery of astrology was so profound that he was able to dictate certain parts of the Akashic Records from the astral worlds onto special scrolls in the sacred language of Sanskrit, often called by Indian mystics "the language of the gods".This primordial translation was said to contain the record of every human being who ever lived on earth. During each age the work has been transferred onto new leaves in order to preserve it for future generations. The present manuscript is said to be an exact copy of the original and is itself 400 to 500 years old. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Daniel Greenberg.

    A Macat Analysis of Theda Skocpol's States and Social Revolutions: A Comparative Analysis of France, Russia, and China , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 109min
    The modern world has been marked by a series of immense social revolutions that have transformed the states where they happened. In 1979, American sociologist Theda Skocpol published States and Social Revolutions and examined three of these uprisings: in France at the end of the 18th century, then in Russia and in China in the first half of the 20th century. She pinpointed a number of common factors that affected each of these countries at the time revolution happened. The most important was the external threats that forced all three countries to modernize both suddenly and violently. This in turn caused cracks in the relationship between the state and the country's elites, giving peasants the chance to develop and push their revolutionary fervor. The disorder that followed plunged the states into chaos, before they emerged again as wholly new societies. Skocpol's intention was never to produce an overarching explanation as to why revolutions occur. Rather she wanted to look for the basic conditions that make such dramatic upheaval possible. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Macat.com.

    Anxious Learning: A Cognitive Deficit , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 15min
    Anxiety is known to affect the cognitive process of the mind. Explanations on the effects of anxiety on these processes have been refined through increasingly more detailed cognitive theories. The theories began as generalized views of anxiety being a distractor as could be seen in the concept of cognitive bias (Calvo and Eysenck, 1998). Research has provided an explanation that anxiety affected the functions of the central executive in the processing efficacy theory. Attentional control theory refined processing efficacy theory’s explanation of anxiety. Attentional control theory pinpointed specific functions affected by anxiety. The theory shows that anxiety which is not related to the individual’s present goal can impair shifting and inhibition functions in cognitive processing, but research into attentional control theory has shown that is related to the current goal anxiety causes an increase in processing efficacy (Causer, Holmes, Smith, and Williams, 2011). Understanding the different impacts of anxiety and how it relates to the individual and the goal at hand can serve to improve efficiency in functioning, learning, and responses of an individual. Further research concerning the refinement of current theories is discussed. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Alan Caudle.

    The Greatest Matches and Rivalries of the WrestleMania Era , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 801min
    What are the greatest matches and rivalries of the WrestleMania era? The blanket statement that pro wrestling greatness is completely up to each individual, period, end of sentence has never sat particularly well with long-time pro wrestling columnist and podcaster "The Doc" Chad Matthews. In fact, he strongly disagrees, having long posited that professional wrestling is reasonably objectifiable, like modern college football rankings in the playoff era. In America's gridiron pastime, the college game relies on a select few, organized into a committee, to choose the best four teams worthy of competing for the championship each season. Though the decisions are also considered subjective, the playoff committee rankings are reasonably objective too. It is not as if Alabama is picked because their crimson jerseys are pretty or USC is chosen because the president of the United States has an affinity for Los Angeles. There are basic criteria used to evaluate the resumes of each viable candidate. Breaking down wrestling's greatest is no different. Utilizing something he calls "objective subjectivism" - a euphemism that acknowledges pro wrestling as obviously somewhat subjective but petitions for acknowledgment of pro wrestling also being inescapably capable of objectification (like Hollywood and college football) - Matthews has mined the annals of WWE and NWA/WCW lore to discover the specific traits that define the greatest matches and rivalries. Having pinpointed these elements, he has found a logical way to separate the truly great from the very good to compare the totality of stories like Daniel Bryan versus The Authority or Stone Cold versus Vince McMahon to overall rivalries like Triple H versus The Rock or Edge versus Undertaker to iconic matches like Steamboat versus Savage or Angle versus Michaels in order to construct the ultimate historical countdown. ungekürzt.

    The Dream of an Ancient God , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 408min
    Samuel Walker is a painfully shy, bumblingly inept college student who always seems to have the worst luck at everything. Tasma Thompson is a gorgeous, carefree young woman who catches Samuel's eye. Unfortunately, she's repulsed by him. They're thrown together on a flight to Phoenix, but before they can exchange much more than names, the plane crashes in a terrorist attack and everyone on board dies. Or do they? Samuel and Tasma abruptly find themselves at the airport terminal, having missed the flight, but with memories of having died in the flight. Gothan Jiswa is an alien on a far off world, and the practitioner of a secret, forbidden religion. He senses that reality has been altered. The source is pinpointed: Earth. An invasion force is quickly mounted. Because in a galaxy where select beings are able to alter the quantum flux of possibilities, a practice strictly controlled by the galactic emperor and his minions, someone on far off, backward Earth has just managed to alter reality in a way that shouldn't be possible. But it is possible, according to an ancient galactic prophecy. And the one with the ability to do it is prophesied to overthrow the galactic empire, end a million years of oppression, and usher in a new golden age. Gothan and his forces converge on Earth, starting a chain of events that will lead Samuel and Tasma on a wild ride across the galaxy and into the midst of religious zealots who force them to confront the possibility that one of them may be an omnipotent god whose coming was foretold billions of years earlier. ungekürzt.

Spanning the arrival of the first English colonists to the chaos of the Civil War to the birth of the computer age and beyond, this lecture series is a captivating and comprehensive tour of those particular moments in the story of America, after which the nation would never be the same again.

    Knowing Too Much: Why the American Jewish Romance with Israel is Coming to an End , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 642min
    Traditionally, American Jews have been broadly liberal in their political outlook; indeed African-Americans are the only ethnic group more likely to vote Democratic in US elections. Over the past half century, however, attitudes on one topic have stood in sharp contrast to this group's generally progressive stance: support for Israel. Despite Israel's record of militarism, illegal settlements, and human rights violations, American Jews have, stretching back to the 1960s, remained largely steadfast supporters of the Jewish 'homeland'. But, as Norman Finkelstein explains in an elegantly-argued and richly-textured new book, this is now beginning to change. Reports by Human Rights Watch, Amnesty International, and the United Nations, and books by commentators as prominent as President Jimmy Carter and as well-respected in the scholarly community as Stephen Walt, John Mearsheimer, and Peter Beinart, have increasingly pinpointed the fundamental illiberalism of the Israeli state. In the light of these exposes, the support of America Jews for Israel has begun to fray. This erosion has been particularly marked among younger members of the community. A 2010 Brandeis University poll found that only about one quarter of Jews aged under 40 today feel "very much" connected to Israel. In successive chapters that combine Finkelstein's customary meticulous research with polemical brio, Knowing Too Much sets the work of defenders of Israel such as Jeffrey Goldberg, Michael Oren, Dennis Ross, and Benny Morris against the historical record, showing their claims to be increasingly tendentious. As growing numbers of American Jews come to see the speciousness of the arguments behind such apologias and recognize Israel's record as simply indefensible, Finkelstein points to the opening of new possibilities for political advancement in a region that for decades has been stuck fast in a gridlock of injustice and suffering. ungekürzt.
