  Dark Places of the Earth: The Voyage of the Slave Ship Antelope , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 658min

  In 1820 the slave ship Antelope was captured off the Florida coast. Though the slave trade was prohibited, slavery was still legal in half of the United States, and it was left to the Supreme Court to determine whether the nearly 300 Africans onboard were considered slaves - and if so, to whom they belonged. Mining untapped archives, Jonathan M. Bryant recounts the Antelope's fraught journey across the Atlantic, leading up to the momentous courtroom battle of 1825 that defined the moral and legal implications of slavery for a generation and was enormously influential in the Amistad trial. From Havana ports to the West African coast, from Georgia plantations to a Liberian settlement, Dark Places of the Earth creates a multidimensional portrait of the global slave trade. Bryant's work restores the Antelope to its rightful place as one of the most shocking and unjustly forgotten episodes in American legal history. ungekürzt. Language: English.

  THE HISTORY OF BRAZIL'S ECONOMY TOLD IN PROSE

  When analyzing the historical economic formation process of a territory, we must understand how its occupation occurred and relate the "concentration of population" with the development of economic activities linked chronologically. The historic related to the national primary economy, pre-colonial autochthonous extractive, as occurred in the Pau Brasil Cycle; and, in the colonial period and later in the imperial period, with the Drogas do Sertão; related to an exogenous agriculture and cattle raising, with the Sugar Cane and Cattle Cycle; and, later, with the extraction and the gold and diamond "fever" in our soil; culminating with the coffee cultivation; which favored the industrialization process, even though late, in our country. During the colonial period, the Portuguese metropolis prohibited manufacturing, because the products would compete with those produced in the kingdom or empire; and, fearing the strengthening of the Brazilian economy, the colony could become independent, which did not interest Portugal. Accompanying the globalized world trend, in the 20th century, industrial activity in Brazil emerged, grew, and emerged in all sectors of the economy, a fact that continues until today, in the 21st century.

  They Call Me George: The Untold Story of Black Train Porters and the Birth of Modern Canada , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 776min

  A CBC Books Must-Read Nonfiction Book for Black History MonthNominated for the Toronto Book AwardSmartly dressed and smiling, Canada’s black train porters were a familiar sight to the average passenger - yet their minority status rendered them politically invisible, second-class in the social imagination that determined who was and who was not considered Canadian. Subjected to grueling shifts and unreasonable standards - a passenger missing his stop was a dismissible offense - the so-called Pullmen of the country’s rail lines were denied secure positions and prohibited from bringing their families to Canada, and it was their struggle against the racist Dominion that laid the groundwork for the multicultural nation we know today. Drawing on the experiences of these influential black Canadians, Cecil Foster’s They Call Me George demonstrates the power of individuals and minority groups in the fight for social justice and shows how a country can change for the better. ungekürzt.

  Candidate Without a Prayer: An Autobiography of a Jewish Atheist in the Bible Belt , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 671min

  In this deeply revealing and engaging autobiography, Herb Silverman tells his iconoclastic life story. He takes the listener from his childhood as an Orthodox Jew in Philadelphia, where he stopped fasting on Yom Kippur to test God's existence, to his adult life in the heart of the Bible Belt, where he became a legendary figure within America's secular activist community and remains one of its most beloved leaders. Never one to shy from controversy, Silverman relates many of his high-profile battles with the Religious Right, including his decision to run for governor of South Carolina to challenge the state's constitutional provision that prohibited atheists from holding public office. Candidate Without a Prayer offers an intimate portrait of a central player in today's increasingly heated culture wars. It will be sure to charm both believers and nonbelievers alike, and will lead all those who care about the separation of church and state to give thanks. ungekürzt. Language: English.

  Summertide: The Heritage Universe, Book 1 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 517min

  It was just before Summertide, the time when the twin planets, Opal and Quake, would orbit closest to their sun, subjecting both - Quake in particular - to vast tidal forces. It was to be the most violent Summertide ever, creating something that only happened every 350,000 years. Access to the unstable Quake was supposed to be prohibited, but some very insistent travelers were determined to make the trip. Professor Darya Lang, who studied artifacts left by the long-vanished aliens called the Builders, had a hunch that she might find the Builders themselves. Louis Nenda and the Cecropian Atvar H'sial had their own interests in Quake, and would do anything to get there. And Councilor Julius Graves was hunting murderers - if they were hiding on Quake, he would find them. Planetary Administrators Hans Rebka and Max Perry had no choice but to go to Quake - risking their lives to protect the others - and to learn, just maybe, the secret of Summertide and the Builders. ungekürzt.
