The Tour de France: A Cultural History , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 819min
In this highly original history of the world's most famous bicycle race, Christopher S. Thompson, mining previously neglected sources and writing with infectious enthusiasm for his subject, tells the compelling story of the Tour de France from its creation in 1903 to the present. Weaving the words of racers, politicians, Tour organizers, and a host of other commentators together with a wide-ranging analysis of the culture surrounding the event—including posters, songs, novels, films, and media coverage—Thompson links the history of the Tour to key moments and themes in French history. Examining the enduring popularity of Tour racers, Thompson explores how their public images have changed over the past century. A new preface explores the long-standing problem of doping in light of recent scandals. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Kevin Scollin.

Professional Sports
High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Professional sports, as opposed to amateur sports, are sports in which athletes receive payment for their performance. Professional athleticism has come to the fore through a combination of developments. Mass media and increased leisure have brought larger audiences, so that sports organizations or teams can command large incomes. As a result, more sportspeople can afford to make athleticism their primary career, devoting the training time necessary to increase skills, physical condition, and experience to modern levels of achievement. This proficiency has also helped boost the popularity of sports. Most sports played professionally also have amateur players far outnumbering the professionals. Professional athleticism is seen by some as a contradiction of the central ethos of sport, competition performed for its own sake and pure enjoyment, rather than as a means of earning a living. Consequently, many organisations and commentators have resisted the growth of professional athleticism, saying that it was so incredible that he has impeded the development of sport.- Shop: buecher

Comment (computer programming)
In computer programming, a comment is a programming language construct used to embed programmer-readable annotations in the source code of a computer program. Those annotations are potentially significant to programmers but typically ignorable to compilers and interpreters. Comments are usually added with the purpose of making the source code easier to understand. The syntax and rules for comments vary and are usually defined in a programming language specification (see the syntax of comments in various programming languages). Comments have a wide range of potential uses: from augmenting program code with basic descriptions, to generating external documentation. Comments are also used for integration with source code management systems and other kinds of external programming tools. The flexibility provided by comments often allows for a wide degree of variability and potentially non-useful information inside source code. To address this, many technical commentators and software analysts subscribe to any of several "philosophies" and guidelines regarding the proper use of comments.- Shop: buecher

The Conscience of a Liberal , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 549min
America emerged from Franklin Roosevelt's New Deal with strong democratic values and broadly shared prosperity. But for the past 30 years, American politics has been dominated by a conservative movement determined to undermine the New Deal's achievements. Now, the tide may be turning, and in Paul Krugman, the world's most widely read economist and one of its most influential political commentators, charts the way to reform. Krugman ranges over a century of history and shows that neither the American middle-class nor the baby boomers who grew up in the increasingly oligarchic nation we have become over the past generation evolved naturally. Both were created, to a large extent, by government policies guided by organized political movements. The Conscience of a Liberal promises to reshape public debate about American social policy and become a touchstone work for an entire generation. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Jason Culp.

Denying History: Holocaust Denial, Pseudohistory, and How We Know What Happened in the Past, Hörbuch, Digital, 332min
Denying History takes a bold and in-depth look at those who say the Holocaust never happened and explores the motivations behind such claims. While most commentators have dismissed the Holocaust deniers as antisemitic neo-Nazi thugs who do not deserve a response, historians Michael Shermer and Alex Grobman have immersed themselves in the minds and culture of these Holocaust "revisionists." In the process, they show how we can be certain that the Holocaust happened and, for that matter, how we can confirm any historical event. Includes an extensive analysis of other pseudohistory claims, such as the denial of the "rape of Nanking", the claim that Aristotle stole philosophy from African philosophers, the belief that early civilizations were egalitarian and peaceful, the notion that the Phoenicians (or the lost tribe of Israel) discovered America, and many others.

Fearless in Opposition: Power and Accountability , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 420min
What is the BJP's definition of nationalism? Why did the UPA government follow a policy of 'strategic restraint'? Why is MGNREGA an important instrument in the larger context of India's transformation? How has the 'surgical strike' on currency resulted in difficulties for millions of people? These contentious questions are just a few of the myriad political, strategic and economic issues that former Union Minister P. Chidambaram analyses in his latest book. Written in inimitable style and characteristic wit by one of India's most influential political commentators, this book brings together a selection of the finest and most incisive essays published as a weekly column in The Indian EXPRESS in 2016. This is as much a showcase of P. Chidambaram's impeccable writing as it is a thought-provoking commentary on the state of the nation. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Rajat Verman.

An Essay on Man , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 103min
As the Enlightenment movement was gathering strength in the early 18th century, various challenges to established religious faith were launched. In response, a number of celebrated commentators produced defences of religion and morality, and among these was Alexander Pope, who was inspired to write "some pieces on Human Life and Manners." The result was a collection of poems in rhyming couplets, designated "Epistles", which were published in instalments. Epistle 1 - 1732 Of the Nature and State of Man, with respect to the Universe.Epistle 2 - 1732 Of the Nature and State of Man with respect to Himself, as an Individual. Epistle 3 - 1733 Of the Nature and State of Man with respect to Society Epistle 4 - 1734 Of the Nature and State of Man with respect to Happiness. A concluding "Universal Prayer" consisting of 13 four-line stanzas was published in 1738. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Denis Daly.
