Racism and Its Effect on Kids: How to Raise and Teach Kids to Be Anti-Racist in the Face of Discrimination and Prejudice , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 21min
Racism is when discrimination, prejudice, abuse, or any other offensive behavior - verbal or physical - is directed against other people because they are of a different color or ethnicity. People often experience or suffer from racism in their daily lives as well as online. Experiencing racism can lead to severe consequences in a person’s mental health, such as post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), insomnia (difficulty sleeping), depression, anxiety disorder (uncontrollable worry and tension), and a sense of isolation.For whatever length of time that we live in a bigoted society, you must be dynamic and not latent in instructing your kids in any case.When navigating a racist world, it’s not enough to simply be a good person. You have to actually understand how racism works and how to fight it. And teaching that is the role of parenting. To not do anything against racism can send the message that racism is accepted in our society, which should never be. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: David Ambrose.

Margaret's Ark , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 663min
On April ninth, thousands of people wake from the same dream, visits from angels instructing them to build a biblical ark in their front yards or the town square or little league field - anywhere - to prepare for the worst natural disaster to strike the world since the days of Noah. A widowed California high school teacher risks everything to build a boat in the 60 days she is given. A homeless self-proclaimed prophet of God preaches across Boston's waterfront, unaware that he is not alone in his visions. A young priest is torn between the signs around him and the skepticism of his church. In the end only 30 people may board each boat. As the world slowly comes to grips with events unfolding around them, they must weigh their own faith in the exceptional and identical visions of so many people. The skies are clear, without a hint of rain. But if the dreams are true, something terrible is looming on the horizon. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Caroline Miller.

The Shadow Out of Time , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 184min
Another H. P. Lovecraft masterpiece. We have all heard of alien abductions, but what if the alien forces only exchange the mind of the abductee with a mind to occupy that of the abductee's body while the mind travels in the body of an alien to be mined for information concerning the abductee's world? The mind then travels to a place in the earth where it mingles with not only with the aliens, but minds from other planets and other ages on this Earth. Prof. Nathaniel Wingate Peasley's mind goes on such an adventure, being abducted in the middle of an economics class Prof. Peasley is instructing. The sanitizing of Prof. Peasley's mind was apparently incomplete as he has fantastic dreams that become more and more real and maddening. Travel along as Lovecraft takes us to the deserts of Australia where the great underground city of the Yithians is discovered by Prof. Peasley and his party. Now will the Yithians remain dormant? Let's hope so! ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Mike Vendetti. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/mike/000230/bk_mike_000230_sample.mp3. Digital audiobook in aax.- Shop: Audible

Progressive Prosecution (eBook, ePUB)
Provides compelling and manageable solutions for how to reform the criminal justice system from the inside out A racial reckoning in the US criminal justice system was long overdue well before the highly publicized murders of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, and many others in 2020. Progressive Prosecution argues that prosecutors, having helped build our failed system of mass incarceration, must now lead the charge to dismantle it.With contributions from practicing district attorneys as well as leading scholars in the fields of law and criminal justice, Taylor-Thompson and Thompson's volume offers an unapologetically ambitious vision for reform. The contributors draw from empirical evidence and years of combined research experience to argue that change must happen at the local level, with prosecutors choosing to adopt race-conscious approaches. These prosecutors must do the hard work themselves, actively focusing on the ways that race misshapes perceptions of criminality, influences discretionary calls, affects how we select juries, and induces a reliance on punitive responses. Progressive Prosecution acts as both a call to action and a practical guide, instructing prosecutors on what they need to do to bring about lasting and meaningful change. Progressive Prosecution is an urgent work of scholarship, a must-read for anyone committed to racial equity and meaningful criminal justice reform.- Shop: buecher
