To the Best of Our Knowledge: Future Perfect: Dreamers, Schemers & Visionaries - Part Four: Our Peace of Mind, Hörbuch, Digital, 52min
In this hour, Harvard trained brain scientist Jill Bolte Taylor found an unusual path to growth. She describes her stroke, the weird euphoria it caused and her long process of recovery in her book, My Stroke of Insight, and in this conversation with Anne Strainchamps. Next, Richard Davidson is a neuro-psychologist at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and a longtime friend of the Dalai Lama. He tells Steve Paulson about observing contemplatives with a brain scanner. And we learn what Seneca thought was the secret of happiness. Then, we hear a round-up of some of the latest research into happiness, from economist Richard Layard, and psychologists Robert Biswas-Diener and Sonja Lyubormirsky. And an Islamic mystic's take on the secret of happiness. After that, Satish Kumar, a former Jain monk and follower of Ghandi, tells Steve Paulson that the secret to a stress-free life is to take it at a walking pace. Kumar is the author of The Buddha and the Terrorist and editor of the eco-spiritual magazine, Resurgence.Following that, Richard Schoch is the author of The Secrets of Happiness: Three Thousand Years of Searching for the Good Life. He tells Jim Fleming that the way we think about happiness today is a thin, watery version of a deep and complex subject. Finally, we're giving the last word on happiness to the great American soul singer Al Green. He's spent his life testifying on stage and in the pulpit to the power of grace, love and happiness. Al Green talks with Steve Paulson, and of course, we hear him sing. [Broadcast Date: January 1, 2010] Language: English. Narrator: Jim Fleming.

Here Come the Black Helicopters!: UN Global Domination and the Loss of Freedom , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 287min
Warning: Our national sovereignty and our freedom are in grave danger. Stealthily advancing, the globalists and socialists at the United Nations, and in the United States itself, are trying to dilute our national sovereignty, undermine our democratic values, and mandate massive transfers of our wealth and technology to third world countries. They want to create a "global governance" where binding and critical decisions are made by the UN and international commissions, instead of by our elected officials. They want to make us citizens of the world, and it means the end of annoying democratic institutions. Economic prosperity will be punished. All countries will be equal, rich and poor, large and tiny, free and enslaved. The Lilliputians will rule the giants. The globalists dismiss democracy as obsolete and surrender us to rule by civil service experts: bureaucrats who are elected by nobody and accountable to no one. They want Congress to ratify a series of treaties and global initiatives that will give them control of the Internet, the seas, our carbon emission policies, our welfare system, and even outer space. They will hobble our ability to go to war and send our wealth to third world dictatorships. They'll attack anyone who tries to stop them. Testifying before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee in May 2012, Hillary Clinton mocked those fighting for American sovereignty as "the black helicopter crowd", belittling those who value freedom and US sovereignty. Ironically, Clinton's sarcastic putdown comes strikingly close to the truth. They call it "global governance". We call it the end of freedom. The homogenization of America. The day when the virtual black helicopters land. So, watch out, the black helicopters are metaphorically on the way. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Pete Larkin.

Mirror to America: The Autobiography of John Hope Franklin, Hörbuch, Digital, 420min
John Hope Franklin lived through America's most defining twentieth-century transformation, the dismantling of legally-protected racial segregation. A renowned scholar, he has explored that transformation in its myriad aspects, notably in his 3.5 million-copy best seller, From Slavery to Freedom. And he was, and remains, an active participant. Born in 1915, he, like every other African American, could not help but participate: he was evicted from whites-only train cars, confined to segregated schools, threatened (once with lynching), and consistently met with racism's denigration of his humanity. And yet he managed to receive a Ph.D. from Harvard, become the first black historian to assume a full-professorship at a white institution, Brooklyn College, be appointed chair of the University of Chicago's history department and, later, John B. Duke Professor at Duke University. He has reshaped the way African American history is understood and taught and become one of the world's most celebrated historians, garnering over 130 honorary degrees. But Franklin's participation was much more fundamental than that. From his effort in 1934 to hand President Franklin Roosevelt a petition calling for action in response to the Cordie Cheek lynching, to his 1997 appointment by President Clinton to head the President's Initiative on Race, and continuing to the present, Franklin has influenced with determination and dignity the nation's racial conscience. Whether aiding Thurgood Marshall's preparation for arguing Brown v. Board in 1954, marching to Montgomery, Alabama, in 1965, or testifying against Robert Bork's nomination to the Supreme Court in 1987, Franklin has pushed the national conversation on race towards humanity and equality, a life-long effort that earned him the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the nation's highest civilian honor, in 1995.

The Nazi, the Princess, and the Shoemaker , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 654min
Have you ever heard of a Jew who saved a Nazi's life? Who evaded capture by pretending to be a Polish peasant, a communist spy, a partisan, and a rabbi? Who spent months starving in the woods, sleeping in haystacks in the freezing cold, only to finish off the war in a luxurious palace as the guest of a Polish princess? Over 30 years in the making, this unique and extraordinary account was recreated from cassette tapes which were recorded in the early 1980s and later found in the bottom of a closet as well as videotaped interviews by Steven Spielberg’s Shoah Foundation.The book describes Binem's childhood in the rural Polish village of Radziejow and details how his family and community were devastated by the trauma of the Nazi invasion and unimaginably cruel occupation of Poland. At the age of 24, Binem escapes a German forced labor camp and struggles to survive the harsh Polish winter by sleeping in haystacks during the day and begging food from peasant farmers at night. Through a chance encounter with a former schoolmate, Binem is taken in by the Osten-Sackens, an aristocratic Polish woman (the “princess”) and her ethnic German husband, who Binem later learns is a secret Gestapo agent. When Germany begins to lose the war, their son, an SS officer (the “Nazi”), forces Binem to vow to protect his parents from inevitable attempts at retribution. Binem makes good on his promise (three times!), saving the Osten-Sackens twice from Russian soldiers and later by testifying on his behalf in a Polish court. The book describes Binem’s holocaust experience in harrowing detail, from its lows, including a suicide attempt in the Jewish graveyard where his parents were buried, to its highs, such as finishing off the war as an honored guest at the Osten-Sacken mansion and his celebratory speech to the Russian Jewish officers who liberated him. ungekürzt.

Nixon's White House Wars: The Battles That Made and Broke a President and Divided America Forever , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 1054min
From Vietnam to the Southern Strategy, from the opening of China to the scandal of Watergate, Pat Buchanan - speechwriter and senior adviser to President Nixon - tells the untold story of Nixon's embattled White House, from its historic wins to it devastating defeats.In his inaugural address, Nixon held out a hand in friendship to Republicans and Democrats alike. But by the fall of 1969, massive demonstrations in Washington and around the country had been mounted to break his presidency.In a brilliant appeal to what he called the "Great Silent Majority", Nixon sent his enemies reeling. Vice President Agnew followed by attacking the blatant bias of the media in a fiery speech authored and advocated by Buchanan. And by 1970, Nixon's approval rating soared to 68 percent, and he was labeled "The Most Admired Man in America".Then one by one, the crises came, from the invasion of Cambodia, to the protests that killed four students at Kent State, to race riots and court ordered school busing.Buchanan chronicles Nixon's historic trip to China, and describes the White House strategy that brought about Nixon's 49-state landslide victory over George McGovern in 1972.When the Watergate scandal broke, Buchanan urged the president to destroy the Nixon tapes before they were subpoenaed, and fire Special Prosecutor Archibald Cox, as Nixon ultimately did in the "Saturday Night Massacre". After testifying before the Watergate Committee himself, Buchanan describes the grim scene at Camp David in August 1974, when Nixon's staff concluded he could not survive.In a riveting memoir from behind the scenes of the most controversial presidency of the last century, Nixon's White House Wars reveals both the failings and achievements of the 37th President, recorded by one of those closest to Nixon, from before his political comeback through to his final days in office.PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying ungekürzt.

John Denver
Henry John Deutschendorf Jr., born on December 31st, 1943, Roswell, New Mexico, US, known professionally as John Denver, was an American singer-songwriter, musician, record producer, actor, activist, and humanitarian, who was most successful as a solo singer. After moving many times while growing up in his military family, Denver began his career with folk music groups during the late 1960s. During the 1970s, he was one of the most popular acoustic artists, being firmly established by 1974, as one of America's best-selling performers, AllMusic having described John as "among the most beloved entertainers of his era". Denver recorded and released c. 300 songs, about 200 of which he composed himself, selling over 33 million records globally. John mainly recorded and performed with an acoustic guitar, singing about his joy of nature, his disdain for city life, his enthusiasm for music, and his relationship problems. Denver's music appeared on several US charts, including country music, the Billboard Hot 100, and adult contemporary, winning 12 gold and 4 platinum albums with his signature songs "Take Me Home, Country Roads", "Annie's Song", "Rocky Mountain High", "Calypso", "Thank God I'm a Country Boy", and "Sunshine on My Shoulders". John starred in several films and TV specials during the 1970s and 1980s. He continued to record during the 1990s, also getting involved in environmental activism, while giving vocal support to space exploration and testifying in front of Congress to protest against censorship in music. Denver lived in Aspen, Colorado, for much of his life, having been known for his love of the state, of which he sang many times, being named poet laureate of Colorado during 1974. The Colorado state legislature also adopted "Rocky Mountain High" as one of its two state songs during 2007. Denver was a keen pilot, who died aged 53 in a plane crash, while flying alone in his experimental Rutan Long-EZ canard aircraft.- Shop: buecher
