  It's Time for Change: Expanding Consciousness Through Education , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 213min

  The time to truly educate has come. Outdated schooling practices and methods inherited from a past era must be replaced by new ones that place the individual at the center of all learning. This audiobook addresses how true education has the power to redirect the course of humanity - one person at a time - and begins by differentiating education from other terms that are used synonymously. Words matter! By creating humanizing environments, true education can help alleviate common symptoms such as bullying and the dropout rate due to the confiscation of autonomy and the existing disrespect of personal integrity. Nourishing learning environments can also contribute to building healthy self-esteem, to actualizing human potential, and to expanding consciousness. Education must forcibly involve all young people’s human dimensions - physical, social, mental, emotional, and spiritual - which is certainly not the case in today’s world where curiosity and creativity are extinguished within a constant teach-to-the-test, competitive, and stressful environment. Pierre Demers presents a vision of what can be our path to making this world a better place. Instead of following the common tendency to try to improve school systems, this audiobook targets the reinvention of our ways of living in society. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: John Kelly.

  101 Amazing Unusual Deaths , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 88min

  Death is the one thing about life that we can all be sure of. But exactly how we shuffle off this mortal coil is another story altogether. The boring among us may well gently drift off in our sleep, gratefully avoiding the fate of those whose inner flame is extinguished by disease or disaster. If we’re lucky, the manner of our passing will warrant no more than a tick in some box somewhere, a ‘plus one’ to some statistician’s calculation. Yet some individuals’ deaths will occur in such a way that they are remembered long past the achievements made in their lives. From almost three millennia ago - when the politician Draco was suffocated by the gifts with which an appreciative audience showered him - to the present day, the fates have oh so generously woven their magic to ensure that certain members of the human race have met the choir invisible in ever more interesting circumstances. This audiobook examines a fair number of such cases, where the unexpected is the norm and the bizarre commonplace. From the humorous to the tragic and the gruesome, prepare yourself for a morbid trip through the kind of material coroners secretly share at their Christmas parties. Welcome to 101 Amazing Unusual Deaths. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Jason Zenobia. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/entn/000931/bk_entn_000931_sample.mp3.

  Signs of Life , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 502min

  Successful lawyer Jeremy Speer has it all - a loving husband, a beautiful home, and a cherished dream that's about to become reality. He's learned not to take happiness for granted, meeting the challenges of life and love head-on with unwavering commitment and fierce devotion. A series of tragic events leaves Jeremy shattered, adrift on a sea of unimaginable pain. He's able to piece his life back together, but instead of embracing it, he merely exists, using isolation and punishing physical exertion to keep the world at bay. High school teacher Kai Daniels has a heart for at-risk kids - he was one himself, and a teenage brush with the law and some troubled years behind bars left him scarred inside and out. With courage, hard work, and the support of friends, he's built a fulfilling life that leaves no time for a relationship. An intense encounter with Kai at a gay club ignites a spark in Jeremy that he thought was extinguished forever, but he's unwilling to destroy the fragile peace he's managed to create, and he leaves Kai humiliated and disappointed. Things should have ended there, but a bizarre occurrence brings the two together in a way neither of them expected. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Robert Nieman.

  Samuel Adams: A Life , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 628min

  I pity Mr. Sam Adams," his cousin John Adams wrote to his wife, "for he was born a Rebel." At virtually every juncture of the American Revolution, from the Boston Massacre and Tea Party to Lexington and Concord and the ratification of the Constitution, Samuel Adams played a forceful role. With his fiery rhetoric and religious fervor, he was in many respects the moral conscience of the new nation. "The love of liberty," he thundered, "is interwoven in the soul of man, and can never be totally extinguished." And yet history has neglected him; today Samuel Adams is best known as a brand of beer. As relations with Great Britain healed in the 19th century, historians were all too willing to dismiss him as a zealot; Adams's distrust of secularism (he envisioned America as a "Christian Sparta") has not endeared him to many contemporary scholars, either. Ira Stoll's fascinating biography not only restores this figure to his rightful place in history but portrays him as a man of God whose skepticism of a powerful central government, uncompromising support for freedom of the press, concern about the influence of money on elections, voluble love of liberty, and selfless endurance in a war for freedom has enormous relevance to Americans today. ungekürzt.

  Yiddish Civilisation: The Rise and Fall of a Forgotten Nation , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 837min

  Tracing Yiddish civilization from its roots in the Diaspora to the present, Paul Kriwaczek combines intimate family anecdote, travelogue, historical research, and interviews with scholars to give us a rich portrait of a nearly extinguished culture as it survived across the centuries. He begins his chronicle in Jerusalem, with the destruction of the Jewish temple at the hands of the Romans in the year 70. We see the burgeoning exile population disperse, moving outward and northward throughout the following centuries, making their mark in more far flung cities under Roman rule. As these communities settle and coalesce, a self-governing Yiddish world takes root, spreading from the Rhineland and Bavaria to Western Russia and the Ukraine. By its late-medieval heyday, this economically successful, intellectually adventurous, and largely self-ruling Yiddish society is a presence from the Baltic to the Black Sea. Kriwaczek reflects upon the development of Yiddish language, occupations, social life, art, music, and literature, and introduces us to notable diplomats, artists, and thinkers. He chronicles the slow decline of Yiddish culture in Europe and Russia, beginning in the 17th century with the Chmielnicki Massacres in the Ukraine and culminating in the Holocaust, and looks further to fresh offshoots in the New World, ultimately celebrating what remains of Yiddish culture in our own time. ungekürzt.

  Race and the Making of American Political Science: American Governance: Politics, Policy, and Public Law , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 462min

  From the late 19th century through the 1930s, scholars of politics defined and continually reoriented their field in response to the political imperatives of the racial order at home and abroad as well to as the vagaries of race science. The Gilded Age scholars who founded the first university departments and journals located sovereignty and legitimacy in a "Teutonic germ" of liberty planted in the new world by Anglo-Saxon settlers and almost extinguished in the conflict over slavery. Within a generation, "Teutonism" would come to seem like philosophical speculation, but well into the 20th century, major political scientists understood racial difference to be a fundamental shaper of political life. They wove popular and scientific ideas about race into their accounts of political belonging, of progress and change, of proper hierarchy, and of democracy and its warrants. In doing so, they constructed models of human difference and political life that still exert a powerful hold on our political imagination today, in and outside of the academy. By tracing this history, Jessica Blatt effects a bold reinterpretation of the origins of US political science, one that embeds that history in larger processes of the coproduction of racial ideas, racial oppression, and political knowledge. The book is published by University of Pennsylvania Press. The audiobook is published by University Press Audiobooks. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Rosemary Benson. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/185033/bk_acx0_185033_sample.mp3.

  Hush , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 766min

  In New York Times bestselling author Karen Robards' latest heart-pounding romantic suspense novel, a woman must track down her husband's murderer - or risk being the next victim of a vicious killer. When Riley Cowan finds her estranged husband Jeff dead in his palatial home, she's sure it's no coincidence. The police rule it a suicide, but Riley thinks someone's out for blood - specifically someone Jeff's father ripped off in one of the biggest financial fraud cases of all time. She suspects that someone is trying to send a message to Jeff's father: Tell me where the money is, or everyone you care about will die. Riley's in-laws might be billionaires, but she's afraid that not even their dirty money can protect her from an irate investor who will stop at nothing to get his hands on his misappropriated cash. Enter Finn Bradley, Philly-based FBI agent and Riley's love interest from way back when. Finn agrees to help Riley, and the two reignite sparks they both thought were extinguished long ago. But can they discover the killer's identity in time, before he resurfaces - and strikes again?
