    What Happened to the Vital Center?
    What Happened to the Vital Center? demonstrates that American politics has become so rancorous because it has been unable to heal wounds opened up by Sixties-era protest and institutional change. While many scholars suggest that the answer to our current predicament is greater presidential power, this work shows that doubling down on the myth of transcendent presidential leadership is likely to exacerbate, not heal, our wounds. Instead, the authors recommend that a reconstituted party system may once again permit political leaders to prevent the worst excesses to democracy that now routinely roil the country.

    My Words into the Beyond , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 17min
    A collection of poetry. "Instead" Strolling along these serene, grassy banks / I bow my head in wondrous, grateful thanks / For these peaceful, still-moments of grace / From life's hard and rancorous footrace / Where hard knocks follow closely on my heels / And the devil slides up offering his cunning deals / I realize there are few who care about my pain / But walking here I appreciate this day's gentle rain / It's not that I don't see the mud below the flowers / Or know that life is quickly ticking away my hours / I see the vultures circling in the clouds overhead / I just choose to focus on this moment's beauty instead. ungekürzt.

    For the Public Good: Forced Sterilization and the Fight for Compensation , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 99min
    Between 1929 and 1974, more than 7,600 North Carolinians were sterilized, sometimes without informed consent and frequently under coercion. The victims, poor men and women from around the state, were never compensated for losing the ability to conceive children. Nearly 40 years later, during a rancorous 2013 legislative session in which severe restrictions on abortion, voting rights and funding for public education were passed, the state got another chance to right one of its most shameful acts. In this personal and powerful work of longform journalism from new digital publisher The New New South, award-winning author Belle Boggs traces the chilling history of eugenics in America, tells the poignant stories of North Carolina's sterilization victims, and goes inside their decade-long fight for justice. ungekürzt.

    Uya: A Beast Like No Other , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 54min
    Something deadly sinister is roaming the mountains of Southern Tennessee and Northern Georgia. A ravenous beast with a thirst for blood and carnage has law enforcement in two states baffled. From Native American Cherokee mythology, the beast has been named Uya, a malevolent evil spirit of the night. The rancorous creature has so far outwitted the best the law has to offer, and now the stakes have been raised, as farm animals no longer satisfy Uya's hunger. An Atlanta Federal Penitentiary inmate on death row may hold the clues to apprehending the vicious fiend. But time is of the essence because Uya has now gorged herself on human blood, flesh, and bones. Another victim has been taken from its crib. Will Uya be stopped in time? You won't want to miss this one! Uya is a beast like no other! ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Thomas Stone. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/093428/bk_acx0_093428_sample.mp3.

    Widdershins , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 1255min
    Ever since Jilly Coppercorn and Geordie Riddell were introduced in de Lint’s first Newford story, "Timeskip", back in 1989, their friends and readers alike have been waiting for them to realize that they belong together. Now, in Widdershins, a stand-alone novel of fairy courts set in shopping malls and the Bohemian street scene of Newford's Crowsea area, Jilly and Geordie’s story is finally being told. Before it’s over, we’ll find ourselves plunged into the rancorous and sometimes violent conflict between the magical North American “animal people” and the more newly arrived fairy folk. We’ll watch as Jilly is held captive in a sinister world based on her own worst memories—and Geordie, attempting to help, is sent someplace even worse. And we’ll be captivated by the power of love and determination to redeem ancient hatreds and heal old magics gone sour. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Kate Reading.

    Lurching Toward Happiness in America , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 144min
    The promise of America has long been conceived as the promise of happiness. Being American is all about the opportunity to pursue one's own bliss. But what is the good life, and are we getting closer to its attainment? In the cacophony of competing conceptions of the good, technological interventions that claim to help us achieve it and rancorous debate over government's role in securing it for us, every step toward happiness seems to come with at least one step back. In Lurching Toward Happiness in America, acclaimed sociologist Claude Fischer explores the data, the myths, and history to understand how far America has come in delivering on its promise. Are Americans getting lonelier? Is the gender revolution over? Does income shape the way Americans see their life prospects? In the end, Fischer paints a broad picture of what Americans say they want. And, as he considers how close they are to achieving that goal, he also suggests what might finally get them there. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Sean Pratt.

    Quarterly Essay 32: American Revolution: The Fall of Wall Street and the Rise of Barack Obama , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 207min
    Where were you when America elected Barack Obama? Kate Jennings was in New York, eyes wide open, completing her take on an amazing time: "the run-up to the election... a time when every day felt like a year and we became slightly crazed from worry but also mesmerised, unable to switch off the cable news stations, obsessively tracking the DOW, VIX, LIBOR spreads, polls in red states. So much at stake." American Revolution is a dazzling and perceptive look at the United States between hope and despair: an election-year kaleidoscope. Jennings describes how and why the US economy fell off a cliff and how an apparently endless run of primaries and an increasingly rancorous campaign culminated in a world-changing victory. She surveys the characters - Obama, Palin, McCain and the Clintons - and conveys the concepts - derivatives, bailouts and moral hazard. This is an essay that shows America in fascinating flux: it is witty and poetic, acute and evocative. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Marie-Louise Walker.
