    American History Tellers: "The Cold War" and "Prohibition" , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 423min
    Every part of your life - the words you speak, the ideas you share - can be traced to our history, but how well do you really know the stories that made America? We'll take you to the events, the times, and the people that shaped our nation. First, we travel back to the story that loomed over 20th-century America more than any other: the Cold War. How do you fight a war with just ideas?  Then, we'll go back a little further, to the only time a constitutional amendment has been repealed: Prohibition. By outlawing alcohol, America saw a rise in crime, sin, vice, and, ironically, alcohol consumption. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Lindsay Graham.

    Design, Heidegger, and the Earth
    Humanity is racing to find designed solutions to our environmental crisis. But what if designing itself was the cause of the crisis? This book argues that design, including 'sustainable' design, is at the heart of our crisis of unsustainability. Only when design's complicity in this crisis is understood, can sustainable human environments be conceived. Using the work of the controversial philosopher Martin Heidegger, this book constructs a radically different understanding of the design process. With this understanding, design in modernity is shown to be the engine of consumption of the Earth. Ironically, the conviction that that we can find designed solutions to our crisis of unsustainability may be the real danger facing the Earth. For those interested in design and design theory, this book offers a fundamentally different account of the design process. For those interested in Heideggerian thought, this book uses design to explore the 'positive role' of consciousness hinted at, but rarely investigated, in Heidegger's work. For those concerned about our crisis of unsustainability, this book offers a new way to conceive the forces accelerating the crisis.

    Bad Feminist (eBook, ePUB)
    'Pink is my favourite colour. I used to say my favourite colour was black to be cool, but it is pink - all shades of pink. If I have an accessory, it is probably pink. I read Vogue, and I'm not doing it ironically, though it might seem that way. I once live-tweeted the September issue.'In these funny and insightful essays, Roxane Gay takes us through the journey of her evolution as a woman (Sweet Valley High) of colour (The Help) while also taking readers on a ride through culture of the last few years (Girls, Django in Chains) and commenting on the state of feminism today (abortion, Chris Brown). The portrait that emerges is not only one of an incredibly insightful woman continually growing to understand herself and our society, but also one of our culture.Bad Feminist is a sharp, funny and sincere look at the ways in which the culture we consume becomes who we are, and an inspiring call-to-arms of all the ways we still need to do better.

    Fighting for Glory: The History and Legacy of the 54th Massachusetts Volunteer Infantry Regiment , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 109min
    Includes accounts of the fighting at Fort Wagner, written by some of the 54th's soldiers. Profiles men of the 54th, including Robert Gould Shaw. "A deserted homestead is always a sad sight, but here in the South we must look a little deeper than the surface, and then we see that every such overgrown plantation and empty house is a harbinger of freedom to the slaves, and every lover of his country, even if he have no feeling for the slaves themselves, should rejoice." (Robert Gould Shaw) From the Stonewall Brigade to the Iron Brigade, Americans have long been fascinated by the Civil War's most famous and legendary units, and many are familiar with the 20th Maine's defense of Little Round Top at the Battle of Gettysburg. But ironically, today, the most famous regiment of the entire war is perhaps the 54th Massachusetts, which was one of the first and ultimately the best known regiment that consisted of black soldiers. Like most black soldiers, the 54th received discriminatory treatment from the army, as white men on both sides were wary of trusting black soldiers in heavy combat situations, despite the fact that the 54th acquitted itself well in a nearly suicidal attack at Fort Wagner. As a result the 54th fought in several battles of lesser note, and they might have faded into obscurity if not for the critically acclaimed movie Glory, which looked at the lives of its commander, Colonel Robert Gould Shaw, and its soldiers. Ironically, though it was unknown at the time of the movie, one of the soldiers in the regiment told his captors he had fought for glory. The movie made the 54th famous, and those who are familiar with the regiment are also familiar with its attack on Fort Wagner, but the story of its creation and its entire service during the Civil War is remarkable from start to finish. ungekürzt.

    If You're So Smart, Why Aren't You Happy?: How to Turn Career Success Into Life Success , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 617min
    What are the true determinants of a happy and fulfilling life? Widely admired psychological researcher Rag Raghunathan sets out to find the answer, undertaking extensive research into the happiness of students, businesspeople, stay-at-home-parents, lawyers and artists, among others. From his research he reveals a crucial discovery: many of the psychological traits that lead to success ironically get in the way of happiness. Forging a new way forward, Raghunathan shows how we can transform these key traits of success, namely the need to be loved, the need for importance and the need for control, and replace them with other behaviours, goals and values to improve our lifelong levels of happiness. ungekürzt.
