The Outrage Industry: Political Opinion Media and the New Incivility , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 593min
In early 2012, conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh claimed that Sandra Fluke, a Georgetown University law student who advocated for insurance coverage of contraceptives, "wants to be paid to have sex." Over the next few days, Limbaugh attacked Fluke personally, often in crude terms, while a powerful backlash grew. But perhaps what was most notable about the incident was that it wasn't unusual. From Limbaugh's venomous attacks on Fluke to liberal radio host Mike Malloy's suggestion that Bill O'Reilly "drink a vat of poison... and choke to death", over-the-top discourse in today's political opinion media is pervasive. Anyone who observes the skyrocketing number of incendiary political opinion shows on television and radio might conclude that political vitriol on the airwaves is fueled by the increasingly partisan American political system. But in The Outrage Industry Jeffrey M. Berry and Sarah Sobieraj show how the proliferation of outrage says more about regulatory, technological, and cultural changes, than it does about our political inclinations. Berry and Sobieraj tackle the mechanics of outrage rhetoric, exploring its various forms, such as mockery, emotional display, fear mongering, audience flattery, and conspiracy theories. They then investigate the impact of outrage rhetoric on a contemporary political landscape that features frequent straight-party voting in Congress. Outrage tactics have also facilitated the growth of the Tea Party, a movement which appeals to older, white conservatives and has dragged the GOP farther away from the demographically significant moderates whose favor it should be courting. Finally, The Outrage Industry examines how these shows sour our own political lives. Drawing from a rich base of evidence, this book forces all of us to consider the negative consequences that flow from our increasingly hyper-partisan political media.

Liar: Exposing Myths in Spiritual Warfare , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 134min
Over 2000 years ago, Jesus announced the end of Satan’s Kingdom, yet an overemphasis on the subject of Spiritual Warfare has reemerged the past 40 years. Between a fragile gospel and a fear mongering eschatology could it be possible that we have continued the illegal conversation shared between Eve and the serpent in the garden?Have we ignored Paul’s warning and become like the church in Corinth, “that somehow our pure and undivided devotion to Christ has been corrupted, just as Eve was deceived by the cunning ways of the serpent?” We have become fascinated with the demonic, creating myth upon myth until the reality of Spiritual Warfare has been lost.In Liar: Exposing Myths in Spiritual Warfare, Mark Casto is releasing an invitation out of demonic fascination and into a superior knowledge that exists only in the life of devotion to Jesus. Join Mark on the journey to discover and learn:One word that causes all the plans of Satan to failHow five New Testament references to “war” and warfare” have zero connection to the demonic realmThat angels war on behalf of the King to protect His intimacy with the BrideVictory comes through the knowledge of God and not understanding the characteristics of our adversaryThat ultimate victory for Yahweh is not Satan cast into the lake of fireIt’s time for the Liar to be exposed and for undivided devotion to Christ be restored. We are in the infancy stages of a new reformation, and unless we become like a teachable child, we are going to miss significant blueprints for the days ahead.Liar is the beginning of a journey for those who can hear the call to start developing a theology of Victory in Christ! With the door of the Garden of God wide open and access to such a high degree of Jesus’ Presence, we must discontinue our fascination with an inferior realm. ungekürzt. Language: English.

The Mother's Story , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 338min
I was six when my father died so my mother has been everything to me. Wherever I go I tell the world about my wonderful mother. I'm a singer today because of her encouragement. She has been the biggest influence in my life” - Daniel O'Donnell. Irish singing star Daniel O'Donnell's mother, Julia, grew up on a remote island off the northwest coast of Ireland, going barefoot and doing hard labour as a child during the poverty-stricken 1920s. The hard work continued through her teenage years as she picked potatoes in the fields and travelled to Scotland to gut fish in the ports. After she married and settled in Kincasslagh, Julia's beloved husband, Francie, was forced to leave his family for months on end to work on farms, again in Scotland. The work was physically demanding and eventually took its toll. Sadly, Julia found herself widowed and penniless with five children while still in her forties. In this classic and inspiring story of triumph over adversity, Julia tells how she battled through this dark period by knitting sweaters into the early hours of every night to support her family. They were sold in America by relatives and the money was sent back to Ireland by post. Then, in an amazing twist of fate, this hard-working woman and dedicated mother watched from the wings as her offspring flourished in life. Her daughter Margo and son Daniel went on to achieve fame as chart-topping singers. In The Mother's Story, Julia takes us on a journey from her humble beginnings growing up in a thatched cottage on Owey Island, to a glitzy lifestyle mingling with celebrities and royalty. Poignant, warm and laced with great humour, Julia's story gives us a fascinating insight into this remarkable Irish family's life. 9781448148752 N N ©2007 Julia O'Donnell;(P)2012 Magna Publishing, Random House Audiobooks 2012 http://www.audible.de/pd/B00A4DP70G?source_code=PNHFA145032019009G&ipRedirectOverride=true http://www.audible.de/pd/B00A4DP70G?source_code=PNHFA145032019009G&ipRedirectOverride=true Hello Again (Unabridged) 28.95 AVAILABLE Hello Again (Unabridged) Hello Again (Unabridged) Simon Elmes 14 November, 2012 marks the 90th anniversary of the BBC's first-ever broadcast and the beginning of the British love affair with radio....

This fascinating book takes as its starting point those early, tentative programmes broadcast from Marconi House on the Strand, and follows the story of those magical radio voices through the years of economic depression, war and austerity, to the swinging 60s and up to the digital era. Above all, it celebrates the great, the forgotten and the notorious voices of radio from the last nine decades, and the programmes they made famous: Marion Cran in the 1920s, who pioneered the first gardening programme; Lord Haw Haw, whose sinister catchphrase 'Germany calling' punctuated broadcasts throughout the Second World War; the Goons and Kenneth Horne, comedy greats of the 1950s; John Peel, Alan Freeman, Kenny Everett and other heroes of Radio Caroline and the pirate stations; all the way up to Eddie Mair, Fi Glover, and Danny Baker, the much-loved voices of today. The result is a wonderful blend of insight, history, and nostalgia that will appeal to radio's many aficionados. 9781448159222 N N ©2012 Simon Elmes;(P)2012 Random House AudioGo http://www.audible.de/pd/B00A3Z6998?source_code=PNHFA145032019009G&ipRedirectOverride=true http://www.audible.de/pd/B00A3Z6998?source_code=PNHFA145032019009G&ipRedirectOverride=true The 10-Step Stress Solution (Unabridged) 19.95 AVAILABLE The 10-Step Stress Solution (Unabridged) The 10-Step Stress Solution (Unabridged) Neil Shah Do you feel overwhelmed by work - or life in general?

For Maribel Campbell Lowe, the beautiful, bohemian wife of a maverick politician, it is the year she plans to make her own mark on the world. But her husband's outspoken views inspire enmity as well as admiration - and the wife of a member of parliament should not be hiding the kind of secrets Maribel has buried in her past. When a notorious newspaper editor begins to take an uncommon interest in her, Maribel fears he will destroy not only her husband's career but both of their reputations. Beautiful Lies is set in a Jubilee year that, fraught with economic uncertainty, riots, and tabloid scandal-mongering, uncannily presages our own. Praised by Hilary Mantel as one of those writers who can see into the past and help us feel its texture", Clark has created a brilliant, riveting novel that illuminates both Victorian England and our own times. ungekürzt.

How Long Blues
Jesse Gelber was born too late for 78s, twenty-five cent pizza slices, beer cans without pop-tops. But he is a solid sender, to use the old phrase - a swinging jazz pianist who will remind you of a time when improvising musicians were proud of their instantly recognizable selves. In four bars, you knew it was Tatum, Waller, Wilson, Stacy, or Monk - no need to wonder, 'Which clone is mongering those familiar bebop licks tonight?' Jesse's no repertory robot, in thrall to the old records, although he can read the proverbial flyspecks off the paper and whip through a rag or a Jelly Roll Morton etude with great panache if you ask him nicely. He knows the tradition all the way from deeply felt down-home blues to infinite variations on the theme of hot piano, but he has melded them into his own style. His lively 'Maple Leaf Rag,' his mournfully seductive 'Make Me a Pallet on the Floor' are all the evidence anyone will need. His playing is free and inventive, two-handed and mobile, and he never overwhelms with flurries of notes, whirlpools of technical displays. In his kind of classical simplicity, every note counts, reminiscent of Basie (without the clichés some pianists offer, as if to say, 'I know all about Kansas City: I learned it all from Ken Burns!'), Monk without his self-conscious angularities, Jimmy Rowles, Nat Cole, Pete Johnson. Yet the ghosts of the past never dominate Jesse's fresh, witty playing. Many jazz musicians confuse volume with emotional intensity, speed with heat, but he knows better. Since man does not live by recorded music alone, these comments are based on what the anthropologists might call field observation. In an assortment of New York clubs, each it's own novella, I have enjoyed hearing Jesse play alongside Kevin Dorn, Barbara Rosene, Michael Hashim, Pete Martinez, J. Walter Hawkes, Doug Largent, Charlie Caranicas, Dan Levinson, Dan Tobias, Jon-Erik Kellso, Craig Ventresco, Peter Ecklund, Simon Wettenhall, Eddy Davis, Scott Robinson, Orange Kellin, and many others. Their faces light up when they see that Jesse is coming to play. In these loose, informal contexts, his crisply articulated piano cuts through exuberant jam sessions, and his solos are fascinating interludes. But this is the first time I've heard him at length as solo pianist and singer, and it's truly rewarding. His spare, apparently unadorned treble lines are pungent examples of the right notes, struck with clarity and conviction, mingled with rhythmic, always varied left hand. Listen to his playful verse to 'Stardust,' which suggests Mondrian, who loved jazz. His stripped-down Ellington classics restore those now over-familiar melodies, the layers of paint removed so that their beauties shine through. Savor the harmonic densities of his 'Prelude to a Kiss.' When jazz musicians produce their own CDs, they are tempted to fill the discs with their originals. In all but a few cases, mind and ears go reeling, for many players expend their compositional impulses in their solos. But Jesse is a thoughtful composer, and that's no stage joke. Consider his weirdly lovely 'Halloween Waltz,' a vignette that turns 'Danse Macabre' into something tender. From it's title, I thought 'Boston in the Rain' would be a mood piece or a grim minor blues, but it's that rarity, a genuine Thirties rhythm ballad, earnest yet lighthearted. I am only sorry that it was written too late for Fred (Astaire) or Connee (Boswell) to have had the pleasure, but Jesse's comfortable, sleeves-rolled-up approach is a treat. He is a first-rate singer, offhanded but convincing, whether he's promising to write himself a letter (not an email?) or musing about Matters of the Heart. He never oversells a song, vocally or instrumentally, and his understatement woos us more than the usual histrionics. Jesse Gelber has more talent than any three men! His bucket, I am happy to say, has no hole in it. Listen and admire. Michael Steinman (All About Jazz, The Mississippi Rag, Cadence, Jazz Improv)- Shop: odax
