    The Gipper: George Gipp, Knute Rockne, and the Dramatic Rise of Notre Dame Football , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 545min
    Win one for The Gipper. Has there ever been a better-known and widely-used exhortative phrase in sports? Not likely. But who was the "Gipper", this mythical-like sports figure whose nickname has aroused, in turn, awe, wonderment, curiosity, and amusement since the second decade of the 20th century, and why is his story important? Answering those questions is the formidable task taken on here by veteran sportswriter Jack Cavanaugh, whose Pulitzer Prize-nominated biography of boxing legend Gene Tunney was referred to as "impressively researched and richly detailed" by Sports Illustrated. More than eight decades after his death, George Gipp is still regarded by football historians as Notre Dame's best all-around player. And it was Gipp and his legendary coach, Knute Rockne, who were largely responsible for putting the small Midwestern all-male school on the map. Like Cavanaugh's other critically acclaimed books, The Gipper is also a period piece, with a considerable focus on the era before, during, and immediately after WWI. It details the changes that the country underwent during that time, including the onset of Prohibition and the gangs that it spawned in the Midwest such as those active in the South Bend area and in nearby Chicago, headed by the notorious Al Capone. ungekürzt.

    The Pornographer's Daughter: A Memoir of Childhood, My Dad, and Deep Throat , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 587min
    More than forty years after Deep Throat arrived on the cultural scene and inspired a sexual revolution, questions about the ethics of pornography and its impact on society are still being asked today and remain as controversial as ever. Kristin Battista-Frazee was only four years old in 1974 when her father, Anthony Battista, was indicted by the federal government for distributing the now famous porn film Deep Throat. As her father unexpectedly became an early pioneer in the emerging porn industry and transformed himself from Philadelphia stockbroker to porn broker, this indictment threatened his family's stability. The stress drove Kristin's mother, Frances Battista, to worry endlessly if her husband would be put in jail. She became so depressed that she attempted suicide. Kristin survived this family trauma to live a surprisingly normal life. But instead of leaving the past behind her, she developed a burning curiosity to understand her family's history. Why did the federal government so vehemently prosecute this case? And why did her father get involved in distributing this notorious porn film in the first place? Did the influence of pornography in fact make Kristin a better person? Answering these questions and reconciling her dramatic family history with her life as a wife and mother became her mission. The Pornographer's Daughter is an insider's glimpse into the events that made Deep Throat and pornography so popular, as well as what it was like to come of age against the backdrop of the pornography business. ungekürzt.

    The Dreams of a Master , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 509min
    In this sequel to his Amazon number one New Age mysticism best-seller, The Love of a Master, Jesus Garcia transforms his life after the physical loss of his beloved spiritual teacher and father figure, Dr. John-Roger (J-R), the late founder of the Church of the Movement of Spiritual Inner Awareness (MSIA).When The Dreams of a Master begins, a still-grieving Garcia prepares to move out of the Mandeville Canyon house in the hills of Los Angeles where he lived for 29 years - 26 of those on J-R’s personal staff. Adrift at first, he finds solace in memories, dreams, spiritual exercises, and a strong inner connection to his Sound Current Master, John-Roger. Concurrently, the publication of his first book leads Garcia on a national, then worldwide promotional tour.During his travels, he finds renewed purpose by visiting MSIA communities around the globe - where he provides spiritual counseling, shows John-Roger seminar videos and films, shares stories with fellow initiates and ministers, and addresses questions about his time with J-R. Most importantly, through satsang (sacred gatherings), Garcia discovers that he is just one strand of a web connecting thousands of MSIA disciples with John-Roger’s abiding love, which remains stronger and more powerful than ever since his passage into Spirit.Beyond the story narrative and travel journal-like entries, The Dreams of a Master also describes dream work techniques and other spiritual practices taught by J-R that Garcia has found valuable in his own life. ungekürzt.
