    The Yoga of Bodysurfing: A Guide to Water Pranayama , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 23min
    Hatha yoga has a long history and is deeply embedded in Indian culture, which is replete with all sort of religious and mythological ideas about the practice’s ultimate significance. Despite variations among different schools of hatha yoga, several core elements have emerged and become widely adopted worldwide. These include mastery of body postures known as asanas; mastery of hand positions known as mudras; mastery of breath control known as pranayama; and mastery of concentration known as dhyan. The combinatorial aim of this fourfold methodology was to achieve liberation during one’s lifetime from the sufferings of human existence. Achieving such an enlightened state is known by various names including moksha or nirvana. What is much less known is how yoga, shorn of its theological overlays and spiritual ultimacies, is similar in many ways to the art of bodysurfing. At first glance, this may seem like a gross exaggeration, but on closer inspection, it is clear that a bodysurfer adept at riding waves actually employs yoga’s fourfold technique. ungekürzt.

    Britain Alone: How a Decade of Conflict Remade the Nation
    When Britain left the European Union in January 2021, it set out on a new journey. Shorn of empire and now the EU too, Britains economy is as national as it has ever has been. A decade or so since globalisation seemed inevitable, this is a remarkable reversal. How did this happen?Britain alone argues that this nationalisation aligning the boundaries of the state with its national peoples emerged from the 2008 global financial crisis. The book analyses how austerity and scarcity intensified and created new conflicts over who gets what. This extends to struggle over what the British nation is for, who it represents, and who it values.Drawing on a range of cultural, economic, and political themes immigration and the hostile environment, nostalgia and Second World War mythology, race and the left behind, the clap for carers and furloughing, as well as Superscrimpers and stand-up comedy the book traces the complex nationalist path Britain took after the crash, demonstrating how we cannot explain nationalism without reference to the economy, and vice versa.In analysing the thread that ties the fallout of the crash and austerity, through Brexit, and to the shape of lockdown politics, Britain alone provides an incisive and original history of the last decade of Britain and its relationship to the global economy.

    War Porn , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 468min
    The term war porn refers to videos and images brought back from combat zones - IED explosions, air strikes, firefights, images of death and gore largely shorn of context, at times even evidence of potential war crimes (most famously, the photos of detainee abuse at Abu Ghraib). War porn is also, in Scranton's searing debut, a metaphor for the fragmentation and confusion of modern combat, the broken shards of experience that form the wartime experiences of soldiers and civilians alike. The three sections of War Porn fit inside one another like nesting dolls: from an end-of-summer barbecue in the American Southwest to the perspective of a young US soldier in the early months of the occupation of Iraq to the story of Qasim al-Zabadi, an Iraqi math professor who faces the American invasion with a blend of fear, denial, and perseverance. Through the eyes of the occupiers, we watch Qasim become an interpreter for US forces, then prisoner and victim. As the scene switches from America to Iraq and back again, as home and hell merge, Qasim reveals the fragile humanity that connects occupier and occupied, torturer and tortured. ungekürzt.
