    Talon de Gilles, son of a Christian knight of Jerusalem during the time of the Crusades, is only 13 when ferocious Saracens attack his family's caravan and take him captive.

    A Macat Analysis of Ernest Gellner's Nations and Nationalism , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 102min
    In his 1983 book Nations and Nationalism, British-Czech intellectual Ernest Gellner put forward a theory of nationalism, explaining that the concept of nation is not in fact an ancient notion, as we might first imagine. Rather, it is a modern idea born out of the seismic social and cultural shifts that industrialization brought to the Western world. Industrial society needed an educated workforce sharing the same culture and the same language - something much less important in the agricultural age. Gellner shows how the concept of nationalism - a political concept in which state and cultural boundaries match - follows from this new idea of nation. Gellner was well aware that "the idea of a man without a nation seems to impose a...strain on the modern imagination." But having witnessed firsthand the catastrophic effects of excessive nationalism - Gellner was a Jew who escaped from Czechoslovakia in 1939, after Hitler invaded - he was only too aware of the dangers of believing nationalism was something all human beings should embrace. ungekürzt.

    The Eternal Man: Ancient Aliens and Human Evolution , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 473min
    Are we older and wiser than we know? Why must humanity and its history necessarily be young? Why do we impose this ideological limitation when there is so much evidence for mankind's perpetual recurrence? Is there any proof that any cultures are irrevocably mortal?   There are cultures that apparently flowered for thousands of years. Some of the cultures that we call primitive have already existed for so long that they seem to have no beginning and no end. Could they actually be immortal?   Might not the truth be that during past ages, man has often tried to climb the rungs of the ladder that lead to a high immortal culture but has slipped and fallen? Perhaps we are even now in the process of building a culture that will know immortality on Earth and in heaven.   Perhaps within the cynical, doom-ridden attitudes fashionable today lie the seeds of imagination needed to see the possibilities of a "plastic" reality, where photons can - through observation - bend to our collective will. ungekürzt.

    Socialism, Fascism, and the Tyranny of Big Government , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 83min
    How do tyrants enslave entire nations? In popular political discourse, fascism and socialism are portrayed as polar opposites. The former is pegged on the far Right, the latter on the far Left. But this categorization is flat-out wrong. Despite their superficial differences, fascism and socialism - along with Nazism and theocracy - are fundamentally the same. They are all examples of statism and totalitarianism. These systems oppose freedom, liberty, and individual rights. They impose one-party rule, control or abolish private property, and censor or oppress racial, religious, political, and ideological enemies. They also seek to export their particular brand of tyranny throughout the world. Whether the goal of a tyrant is achieving utopia, enforcing God's will, or establishing a master Aryan race, the results are always the same: purges and show trials, man-made famines and concentration camps, war and mass murder. Socialism, Fascism, and the Tyranny of Big Government surveys the main statist politico-economic systems. And it concludes with a brilliant analysis of the nature and causes of tyranny. ungekürzt.

    A Duty to Resist: When Disobedience Should Be Uncivil , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 584min
    What are our responsibilities in the face of injustice? How far should we go to fight it? Many would argue that as long as a state is nearly just, citizens have a moral duty to obey the law. Proponents of civil disobedience generally hold that, given this moral duty, a person needs a solid justification to break the law. But activists from Henry David Thoreau and Mohandas Gandhi to the Movement for Black Lives have long recognized that there are times when, rather than having a duty to obey the law, we have a duty to disobey it.Taking seriously the history of this activism, A Duty to Resist wrestles with the problem of political obligation in real world societies that harbor injustice. Candice Delmas argues that the duty of justice, the principle of fairness, the Samaritan duty, and political association impose responsibility to resist under conditions of injustice. We must expand political obligation to include a duty to resist unjust laws and social conditions even in legitimate states. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Allyson Ryan.

    The Civil War Part 1 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 158min
    From 1861 to 1865 America was caught in the convulsions of war, the Civil War. No historical event, short of the American Revolution itself, has so deeply affected the United States. The central question involved the nature of the union. Was the United States one nation, or were the United States a group of sovereign states that could choose to disassociate? If America was a union then the powerful North could abolish slavery and impose tariffs on the slave-holding, agricultural South. If America was a confederacy, then Southern states could preserve their institutions by withdrawing from the union.What provoked this bloodletting? Both sides honored the same Constitution, spoke the same language, and worshipped the same God. But neither side could agree on whether America was a union or a compact of states. The United States at War series is a collection of presentations that review the political, economic, and social forces that have erupted in military conflict and examine how the conflict resolved, or failed to resolve, the forces that caused war. ungekürzt.
