    Indian Endemic: The Intentional Decimation of Native Peoples , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 35min
    For centuries, American descendants of Europeans enacted purposed plans for ridding themselves of what they saw as problems created by Native Americans. Some of these plans were intended to wipe out Native Americans entirely while some others were meant to curtail efforts of Native Americans, push them away, keep them in controlled environments, completely subjugated, while forcing them to cede nearly all of their lands, at the most minimal of prices, keeping them forever subservient to and dependent upon their white "masters." Several short papers contained herein discuss some of the pandemic and legal problems faced early on, while the longest work, "Today's Racism was Yesterday's Protectionism," examines how the policies for assimilation, designed and enacted by Thomas Jefferson, sought to completely transform forever all customs, beliefs, and lifestyles of all Native Americans, to forever "whiten them." ungekürzt.

    The Great Convergence: Asia, the West, and the Logic of One World , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 655min
    The 21st century has seen a rise in the global middle class that brings an unprecedented convergence of interests and perceptions, cultures and values. Kishore Mahbubani is optimistic. We are creating a new global civilization. Eighty-eight percent of the world's population outside the West is rising to Western living standards, and sharing Western aspirations. Yet Mahbubani, one of the most perceptive global commentators, also warns that a new global order needs new policies and attitudes. Policymakers all over the world must change their preconceptions and accept that we live in one world. National interests must be balanced with global interests. Power must be shared. The U.S. and Europe must cede some power. China and India, Africa and the Islamic world must be integrated. Mahbubani urges that only through these actions can we create a world that converges benignly. This timely audiobook explains how to move forward and confront many pressing global challenges. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Wes Talbot.

    From Gettysburg to Golan: How Two Great Battles Were Won - and the Lessons They Share , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 150min
    Two great battles, two historic outcomes: Defeat in either would have changed the destiny of America and Israel. In this riveting comparative history, From Gettysburg to Golan, Lieutenant Colonel Barry Spielman shows for the first time the extraordinary similarities between the battles of Gettysburg (1863) and Golan Heights (1973). In both battles, holding the high ground would prove vital; in both, the defenders (the Union and Israeli armies) would rapidly shift their forces from one position to the next to hold off and ultimately defeat the ferocious enemy attacks that threatened to overwhelm them. The stakes were incredibly high. Had they lost, the Union may have been forced to cede defeat to the South, and the United States would have fallen apart, irrevocably altering the history of the world; Israel would have been cut in half and destroyed. By moving between the two theatres of war as the battles progressed, Spielman delivers a gripping, blow-by-blow account of how Gettysburg and Golan were won - and the lessons they share. ungekürzt.

    Surrendering Saul: Fated & Forbidden: Hearth Motel, Book 3 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 270min
    If Saul Ade had known that stepping into his sister's life would make him a player in the goddess Allendra's unforgiving game, he would have never left the shadows. If he doesn't accept the mate she has chosen for him by the rise of the next Blood Moon, the Sídhe will become human. Unfortunately, the woman he must make his love is a mermaid who once tried to drown his sister's human best friend. If he'd wanted a mate at all, reckless Laurel O'Cuilinn wouldn't be it. Laurel's devastated to learn that Saul would rather cede Allendra's challenge than to be with her, but she's too practical to sulk. Four weeks isn't much time to make Saul cast aside his grudges, and she'll do what she must to help the Sídhe retain their magic - even if it means turning on some of the mermaid charm her fated mate finds so repugnant. Allendra's not the only one who can play games. But, unlike the goddess, Laurel plans to play for love - not with it. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Pyper Down.

Not easy when an OWI has decided to lay siege to the nearest safe city. Critically damaged, Brittle has to hold it together long enough to find the essential rare parts to make repairs - but as a robot's CPU gradually deteriorates, all their old memories resurface.

    British Rule in India , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 1001min
    A freedom fighter’s telling account of the exploitation of India by the East India Company.   In 1929, Pandit Sunderlal’s original work in four volumes, Bharat Mein Angrezi Raj, was banned by the British because of its fearless criticism of their rule in India. In sharp contrast to narratives by British historians, who stressed that India was in a state of arrested development before the British arrived, Pandit Sunderlal’s books celebrated India’s past. In 1960, the government of India brought out this history in two volumes: How India Lost Her Freedom and British Rule in India. The first volume, How India Lost Her Freedom, was published by SAGE earlier this year. It details how British traders penetrated the subcontinent and established the foundation of their rule.   This second volume, British Rule in India, covers the period from 1805 (Second Maratha War), a turning point for the East India Company, to 1858, when the East India Company had to cede control to the British crown. It details how the British acquired territories by sly and dishonourable treaties and how their rule led to extremely large-scale economic exploitation. It painstakingly traces the history of the deliberate destruction of Indian industry and the plundering that went on under the guise of development. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    The Beauty Bride: The Jewels of Kinfairlie , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 776min
    More cherished than gold are the Jewels of Kinfairlie, and only the worthiest may fight for their love...The Laird of Kinfairlie has unmarried sisters, each a gem in her own right. And he has no choice but to see them all wed in haste. Lady Madeline's heart is not for sale - especially not to a notorious outlaw like Rhys FitzHenry. Yet Madeline's hand has been sold, to none other than this battle-weary warrior with a price on his head. A more dutiful maiden might cede to the Laird's command and meekly accept her fate, but Madeline has never been obedient. She decides to run away, though she never dreams that Rhys will pursue her. She does not expect this taciturn man to woo her with fanciful stories, much less that each of his enthralling tales will reveal a scar upon his shielded soul. She never imagines that a man like Rhys could imperil her own heart while revealing so little of his own feelings. When Rhys's past threatens his future, Madeline takes a leap of faith. She dares to believe him innocent - and risks her own life to pursue a passion more priceless than the rarest gem. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Saskia Maarleveld.

    Defining Death: The Case for Choice , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 329min
    New technologies and medical treatments have complicated questions such as how to determine the moment when someone has died. The result is a failure to establish consensus on the definition of death and the criteria by which the moment of death is determined. This creates confusion and disagreement not only among medical, legal, and insurance professionals but also within families faced with difficult decisions concerning their loved ones. Distinguished bioethicists Robert M. Veatch and Lainie F. Ross argue that the definition of death is not a scientific question but a social one rooted in religious, philosophical, or social beliefs. Drawing on history and recent court cases, the authors detail three potential definitions of death - the whole-brain concept; the circulatory, or somatic, concept; and the higher-brain concept. Because no one definition of death commands majority support, it creates a major public policy problem. The authors cede that society needs a default definition to proceed in certain cases, like those involving organ transplantation. But they also argue the decision-making process must give individuals the space to choose among plausible definitions of death according to personal beliefs. Defining Death is an indispensable guide for professionals in medicine, law, insurance, public policy, theology, and philosophy as well as lay people trying to decide when they want to be treated as dead. The book is published by Georgetown University Press. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Leon Nixon. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/083122/bk_acx0_083122_sample.mp3.

    Native American Tribes: The History and Culture of the Creek (Muskogee) , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 101min
    Though they are not as well-known as tribes like the Sioux or Cherokee, the Creek are one of the oldest and most important Native American tribes in North America. With roots that tie them to the Ancient Moundbuilders, the Creek were one of the most established groups in the Southeastern United States, and came to be known as one of the Five Civilized Tribes. It's also believed that the Creek were the first natives encountered by Spanish explorer Hernando De Soto's historic expedition in the mid-16th century. The Creek became known as one of the Five Civilized Tribes for quickly assimilating aspects of European culture, but in response to early European contact, the Muscogee established one of the strongest confederacies in the region. Despite becoming a dominant regional force, however, infighting brought about civil war in the early 19th century, and they were quickly wrapped up in the War of 1812 as well. By the end of that fighting, the Creek were compelled to cede millions of acres of land to the expanding United States, ushering in a new era that found the Creek occupying only a small strip of Alabama by the 1830s. Native American Tribes: The History and Culture of the Creek comprehensively covers the culture and history of the famous group, profiling their origins, their history, and their lasting legacy. ungekürzt.
