    Last Futures (eBook, ePUB)
    Whatever happened to the last utopian dreams of the city?In the late 1960s the world was faced with impending disaster: the height of the Cold War, the end of oil and the decline of great cities throughout the world. Out of this crisis came a new generation that hoped to build a better future, influenced by visions of geodesic domes, walking cities and a meaningful connection with nature. In this brilliant work of cultural history, architect Douglas Murphy traces the lost archeology of the present day through the works of thinkers and designers such as Buckminster Fuller, the ecological pioneer Stewart Brand, the Archigram architects who envisioned the Plug-In City in the '60s, as well as co-operatives in Vienna, communes in the Californian desert and protesters on the streets of Paris. In this mind-bending account of the last avant-garde, we see not just the source of our current problems but also some powerful alternative futures.

    Captain Darkney in Exile: The Adventures of Captain Darkney, Book 2 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 506min
    The brave boy captain tore down the tattered rag of the enemy and hoisted the true flag in its place in triumph! Then, he found himself in a jail cell, accused of domestic terrorism. It seemed as if Sean's imagination had finally gone too far, and he'd been banned from Belfast for good. There was only one place to go in exile: America. Back to Aunt Anna's where everything was quiet and peaceful, except for the MI6 agents chasing him halfway around the globe, ghosting his every move, and blowing up Matt's Jag! Or was that because of the dead guy in the cave, the mining protesters, the political cover-ups, and the mob? It seemed Captain Darkney's exile might not be as boring as he thought! ungekürzt.

    Wakefield , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 601min
    When the Devil comes to take him, Wakefield, a motivational speaker and architecture buff, isn't ready. He plies the Dark One with scotch and strikes a bargain: He, Wakefield, will take a year to search for an alternative life. Our tragicomic hero shares a name (and other traits) with the main character of Nathaniel Hawthorne's short story, "Wakefield". He criss-crosses the country, meeting New Age gurus, billionaire techno-geeks, global pioneers, gambling addicts, models, venture capitalists, art collectors, rainforest protesters, S&M strippers, and more. As his own "inner architecture" shifts, he attempts to restore his world through a shocking act that baffles even his jaded Satanic Majesty. Just as Hawthorne created a portrait of the late 19th-century America, Codrescu captures the country in the late 20th. Part architectural thriller, part metaphysical mystery, part travel adventure, Wakefield reveals the compelling perplexities of the modern age. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Jeff Woodman.

    The Golden Thread: A Song for Pete Seeger , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 9min
    With dazzling, lyrical verse in the folk revival style, Colin Meloy pays tribute to Pete Seeger, a visionary who changed the world with song. Pete Seeger once sang that if he had a golden thread, he would use it to weave people from all over the world to one another. That golden thread, for Pete, was music. Born into a family of traveling musicians, Pete picked up his first instrument at age seven. From then on, music was his life, whether he was playing banjo for soldiers during World War II, rallying civil rights activists and war protesters with songs such as "We Shall Overcome", "Where Have All the Flowers Gone?", and "If I Had a Hammer" or leading environmental efforts to clean up the Hudson River. For decades, Pete Seeger's messages of universal understanding and social and environmental justice inspired generations - and have left a lasting legacy. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    Authentic Occupy , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 65min
    Everything you know about Occupy Wall Street is wrong. The criticisms you heard the media repeat over and over again - "the protesters don't know what they want!", "why don't they just rally around a leader?" - come from a fundamental misunderstanding of who the occupiers were and what they sought to accomplish. In this lively mix of memoir and analysis, writer-activist Travis Mushett takes you inside Occupy and demystifies a movement that was difficult for even its supporters to get a handle on. Pushing past the bromides, Mushett locates the source of this confusion. We've come to expect that our politics will be mediated by slick advertisements, corporate cash, and elected officials who may or may not represent our interests, but Occupy Wall Street embodied something different, something highly unusual in postmodern America: A politics of authenticity. ungekürzt.

    Inglorious Empire: What the British Did to India , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 633min
    Penguin presents the audiobook edition of Inglorious Empire, written and read by Shashi Tharoor.  In the 18th century, India's share of the world economy was as large as Europe's. By 1947, after two centuries of British rule, it had decreased sixfold. The empire blew rebels from cannon, massacred unarmed protesters, entrenched institutionalised racism and caused millions to die from starvation.  British imperialism justified itself as enlightened despotism for the benefit of the governed, but Shashi Tharoor demolishes this position, demonstrating how every supposed imperial 'gift' - from the railways to the rule of law - was designed in Britain's interests alone. He goes on to show how Britain's Industrial Revolution was founded on India's deindustrialisation and the destruction of its textile industry.  In this bold and incisive reassessment of colonialism, Tharoor exposes to devastating effect the inglorious reality of Britain's stained Indian legacy.  ungekürzt.
