    Rumors of Our Progress Have Been Greatly Exaggerated , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 441min
    Why Women's Lives Aren't Getting Any Easier - and How We Can Make Real Progress for Ourselves and Our Daughters As a young woman, Democratic congresswoman Carolyn Maloney asked her grandmother for career advice. She was shocked by the reply: "Get married." Though much has changed for women since then, more has remained the same. On a January night in 2008, Maloney and her daughter attended a Hillary Clinton rally in New Hampshire. Men in the audience held "Iron My Shirt" posters aloft. This small incident provoked outrage, but it provided an important peephole onto larger problems that women face today. In her groundbreaking book Rumors of Our Progress Have Been Greatly Exaggerated, congresswoman Maloney shatters the myths about how far we've come, highlighting how women's issues permeate every realm of society, and how political change has provided only a fraction of a solution.The former co-chair of the Women's Caucus, Maloney has access to a wealth of cutting-edge research that helps her illuminate how far behind we still fall on gender equality in issues from healthcare to educational opportunities, from poverty to reproductive freedom. It's a fact that women are working harder than ever, but they're still paid only three-quarters the salary of their male counterparts. She weaves this vital information with gripping stories of real women, making clear that she's not taking some abstract political position. She's talking about real people, real lives.Maloney also points the way forward, sharing inspiring tales of female activists who have managed to make a difference and presenting readers with "take action" guides that show all women practical ways they can help bring about change in their lives and the lives of others. ungekürzt.

    Beautiful Country Burn Again: Democracy, Rebellion, and Revolution , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 873min
    In a sweeping work of reportage set over the course of 2016, New York Times best-selling author Ben Fountain recounts a surreal year of politics and an exploration of the third American existential crisis.Twice before in its history, the US has been faced with a crisis so severe it was forced to reinvent itself in order to survive: first, the struggle over slavery, culminating in the Civil War, and the second, the Great Depression, which led to President Roosevelt’s New Deal and the establishment of America as a social-democratic state. In a sequence of essays that excavate the past while laying bare the political upheaval of 2016, Ben Fountain argues the US may be facing a third existential crisis, one that will require a “burning” of the old order as America attempts to remake itself.Beautiful Country Burn Again narrates a shocking year in American politics, moving from the early days of the Iowa Caucus to the crystalizing moments of the Democratic and Republican national conventions, and culminating in the aftershocks of the weeks following election night. Along the way, Fountain probes deeply into history, illuminating the forces and watershed moments of the past that mirror and precipitated the present, from the hollowed-out notion of the American Dream, to Richard Nixon’s Southern strategy, to our weaponized new conception of American exceptionalism, to the cult of celebrity that gave rise to Donald Trump.In an urgent and deeply incisive voice, Ben Fountain has fused history and the present day to paint a startling portrait of the state of our nation. Beautiful Country Burn Again is a searing indictment of how we came to this point and where we may be headed. ungekürzt.

    We Are Not Yet Equal: Understanding Our Racial Divide , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 402min
    Carol Anderson's White Rage took the world by storm, landing on the New York Times best-seller list and best book of the year lists from New York Times, Washington Post, Boston Globe, and Chicago Review of Books. It launched her as an in-demand commentator on contemporary race issues for national print and television media and garnered her an invitation to speak to the Democratic Congressional Caucus. This compelling young adult adaptation brings her ideas to a new audience. When America achieves milestones of progress toward full and equal black participation in democracy, the systemic response is a consistent racist backlash that rolls back those wins. We Are Not Yet Equal examines five of these moments: the end of the Civil War and Reconstruction was greeted with Jim Crow laws; the promise of new opportunities in the North during the Great Migration was limited when blacks were physically blocked from moving away from the South; the Supreme Court's landmark 1954 Brown v. Board of Education decision was met with the shutting down of public schools throughout the South; the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and Voting Rights Act of 1965 led to laws that disenfranchised millions of African American voters and a War on Drugs that disproportionally targeted blacks; and the election of President Obama led to an outburst of violence including the death of black teen Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri, as well as the election of Donald Trump. This YA adaptation is written in an approachable narrative style that provides teen listeners with additional context to these historic moments.  ungekürzt.

    To the Best of Our Knowledge: Selling Out, Hörbuch, Digital, 52min
    In this hour, Since the 1960s, Ralph Nader has been responsible for numerous federal consumer protection laws including the Clean Air Act, the Clean Water Act, and the Freedom of Information Act. He also helped create OSHA, the EPA, and the National Highway Transportation Safety Administration. Steve Paulson spoke with Ralph Nader about living a principled life. Next, Freshman Representative Joe Walsh is a Republican serving the eighth district of Illinois. He's also a member of the Tea Party caucus. Walsh is considered the unofficial spokesman for the “no compromise” faction of the Republican majority in the U.S. House of Representatives. Then, maybe you think you had tough time becoming a parent, but imagine being in a hard core punk, turned father. Back in punk’s heyday, almost everything was selling out: a mortgage, a job, children. The documentary The Other F Word tells the stories of punk dads. Jim Lindberg is one of the fathers in the film. He’s the former lead singer of Pennywise, famous for their punk anthem “F Authority.” Anne Strainchamps spoke with Lindberg and the documentary director, Andrea Nevins, about the trials and tribulations of fatherhood.Finally, you may not know who the artist Shepard Fairey is but you probably know his work. In the late 1980s, his “Andre the Giant has a posse” sticker campaign went viral – adorning nearly every skateboard and record shop in America. He later added the word OBEY to the Andre the Giant image and it became iconic. But it wasn’t until 2008, when he created the iconic Baraka Obama HOPE poster, that Shepard Fairey became truly famous. But in his world of skateboarding, graffiti and the hip hop credo to "keep it real", making a poster for a US presidential candidate looks like selling out. Shepard Fairey took Anne Strainchamps back to the beginning, and his Andre the Giant sticker. [Broadcast Date: January 11, 2011] Language: English.

    The Marine Corps Way of War: The Evolution of the U.S. Marine Corps from Attrition to Maneuver Warfare in the Post-Vietnam Era , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 537min
    The Marine Corps Way of War: The Evolution of the U.S. Marine Corps from Attrition to Maneuver Warfare in the Post-Vietnam Era examines the evolving doctrine, weapons, and capability of the United States Marine Corps during the four decades since our last great conflict in Asia. As author Anthony Piscitelli demonstrates, the USMC has maintained its position as the nation’s foremost striking force while shifting its thrust from a reliance upon attrition to a return to maneuver warfare. Piscitelli methodically explains the evolution by using traditional and first-person accounts by the prime movers of this paradigm shift.In Indochina, for example, the Marines not only held territory but engaged in now-legendary confrontational battles at Hue and Khe Sanh. As a percentage of those engaged, the Marines suffered higher casualties than any other branch of the service. In the post-Vietnam assessment, however, the USMC absorbed Sun Tzu’s aspects of Asian warfare and returned to its historical DNA in fighting “small wars” to evolve a superior alternative to the battlefield.The institutionalization of maneuver philosophy began with the Marine Corps’ educational system, analyzing the actual battlespace of warfare - be it humanitarian assistance, regular set-piece battles, or irregular guerrilla war - and the role that the leadership cadre of the Marine Corps played in this evolutionary transition from attrition to maneuver. This change has sometimes been incorrectly portrayed (including by the Congressional Military Reform Caucus) as a disruptive or forced evolution. Analysis from former commandants of the Marine Corps to junior officers on the ground in Iraq, Afghanistan, and elsewhere demonstrate otherwise. The ability of the Marines to impact the battlefield - and help achieve our strategic goals - has only increased during the post-Cold War era.Throughout The Marine Corps Way of War: The Evolution of the U.S. Marine Corps from Attrition to ungekürzt.

    The Walrus and the Elephants: John Lennon’s Years of Revolution , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 395min
    In late 1971 John Lennon left London behind and moved to New York, eager to join a youth movement rallying for social justice and an end to the Vietnam War. Lennon was quickly embraced by radicals and revolutionaries, the hippies and Yippies at odds with the establishment. Settling in Greenwich Village, the heart of Manhattan's counterculture, the former Beatle was soon on the frontlines of the antiwar movement and championing a range of causes and issues. Seen as a savior by a generation in need of cultural heroes, Lennon was just as passionately hounded by a government eager to find enemies within. The FBI and White House considered Lennon a threat; a plan was devised to deport the singer prior to the election as a "strategic counter-measure" to preserve Richard Nixon's presidency in 1972. The Walrus and the Elephants is told by an unlikely cast of friends, including the musicians of the Elephant's Memory band, who were among the few with a chance to see the man behind the Beatle. Exclusive interviews include writer and feminist leader Gloria Steinem; congressional black caucus cofounder Ron Dellums; "Chicago Seven" veteran Rennie Davis; immigration attorney Leon Wildes; and legendary poet-activist John Sinclair, whose imprisonment for marijuana - a 10-year sentence for two joints - kicked off Lennon's American journey. It was a busy year of making albums, controversial TV appearances, and what would be Lennon's last full-length concert at Madison Square Garden; it was also a time of great change in America, with many of the confrontations that began brewing in the sixties reaching an end...and the beginning of a new era. John Lennon fought for peace and was treated with scorn by some, suspicion by others - including a government wishing to silence the singer. The Walrus and the Elephants is a look back by those who fought the fight. He was a dreamer, but not the only one. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Stephen Hoye.

Soon she finds herself at the center of a ruthless alien gangbang.

    Elections, Conventions, the Presidency, Congress, and Supreme Court Explained: The Quick and Dirty Guide to Our Messy Democracy , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 193min
    American democracy can be...messy, sometimes. With all the voices and commentaries around us, making sense of the American democratic tradition may seem overwhelming. This collection of books will help. With these Quick and Dirty Guides, you will be that much closer to sifting through the noise being an informed citizen. They are non-partisan and honest (if a bit cynical): just the kind of balanced information you're looking for. This collection includes Volumes 1-4 of the The Quick and Dirty Guide to Our Messy Democracy: 1. The Quick and Dirty Guide to Primaries, Caucuses and Political Conventions: The brawl for the nomination absorbs an incredible amount of media attention, but so much of what is produced is marred by partisanship that it is no wonder that so few Americans fully understand the nomination process. Because of these misunderstandings the Quick and Dirty Guide Team is proud to present our guide to America's messy primary elections! This book will walk you through the "whys" and the "hows" of our candidate selection process. This includes answers to questions like, "Why does Iowa get to go first?", "How does a caucus work?", and "What's so super about superdelegates and why do just Democrats have them?" 2. The Quick and Dirty Guide to Electing the President: So you've managed to win your party's primary election and been nominated to be the most powerful person on Earth! Congratulations, but let's talk about what comes next. The road to becoming the president of the United States is complicated and our Founding Fathers liked things that way. They probably didn't count on it becoming such a long process, however! This process, which once focused on "wise electors" who were expected to act in the best interests of our nation, is now crowded with screaming talking heads on cable news, to say nothing of memes on Facebook! ungekürzt.
