American Legends: The Life of Solomon Northup , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 96min
Having been born a freeman, and for more than 30 years enjoyed the blessings of liberty in a free State - and having at the end of that time been kidnapped and sold into Slavery, where I remained, until happily rescued in the month of January, 1853, after a bondage of 12 years - it has been suggested that an account of my life and fortunes would not be uninteresting to the public. (Solomon Northup) A lot of time has been spent covering the lives of history's most influential figures, but how much of the forest is lost for the trees? In Charles River Editors' American Legends series, listeners can get caught up on the lives of America's most important men and women in the time it takes to finish a commute. And they can do so while learning interesting facts long forgotten or never known. In 2013 the release of the critically acclaimed 12 Years a Slave once again shined the spotlight on slave narratives. The movie's depiction of Solomon Northup's slave narrative pushed him front and center in the public consciousness. Northup's life was quite unique because he was born a free African-American in the state of New York, and he spent the first 33 years of his life living as a free man there. However, in 1841, he was tricked into traveling to Washington, DC, with the promise of employment as a violinist, only to be subsequently sold into slavery and forced to work as a slave on a plantation in Louisiana. For 12 years he endured the plight of being a slave. So when he gained his freedom in 1853, he was well positioned to write an account that poignantly described the barbaric system of slavery in the Deep South. ungekürzt. Language: English.

If you were looking for a very brief overview of minimalism living, without the fluff, full of actionable steps - than this book might be the perfect thing for you! Stress from work and other activities, if left unwatched, can at times overwhelm any individual. Most often than not, people get so overwhelmed with tasks that they mentally postpone the very vital activity that involve the organization of their "activities". They often perceive decluttering as the least important of all things. Therefore, they feel decluttering can wait while they attend to more important things. But what could be more important than having a sane mind and a well-organized environment? I will leave you to ponder on that. Another set of people simply do not like the idea of minimalism. They see minimalism from a negative point of view. Due to the joy and excitement that comes with acquiring new property, many people frown at the idea of minimalism. Their assumption is that a minimalist lifestyle is boring and uninteresting. Such perception of minimalism is simply wrong! this is because minimalism is simply the act of removing whatever is not adding value to your life to create space for more important ones. It is just living a simple life. A minimalist lifestyle is not all about decluttering one's home, owing few things and having a capsule wardrobe. It is about having a clearer mind that is free from a lot of disruptions and irrelevant tasks that eventually let you make prudent and sound decisions.

Queen Victoria's Granddaughters: 1860-1918 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 812min
On 6 July 1868, when told of the birth of her seventh granddaughter, Queen Victoria remarked that the news was "a very uninteresting thing for it seems to me to go on like the rabbits in Windsor Park". Her apathy was understandable - this was her 14th grandchild, and, though she had given birth to nine children, she had never been fond of babies, viewing them as "frog-like and rather disgusting...particularly when undressed". The early years of her marriage had, she claimed, been ruined by frequent pregnancies, and large families were unnecessary for wealthy people since the children would grow up with nothing worthwhile to do. Nevertheless, her initial reaction to the birth of Princess Victoria of Wales belied the genuine concern that Queen Victoria felt for each of her 22 granddaughters. "As a rule," she wrote, "I like girls best," and she devoted a great deal of time to their well-being and happiness, showering them with affection she had seldom shown her own children. By 1914, through a series of dynastic marriages, the queen's granddaughters included the empress of Russia; the queens of Spain, Greece, and Norway' and the crown princesses of Rumania and Sweden. As their brothers and cousins occupied the thrones of Germany, Britain, and Denmark, Prince Albert's dream of a peaceful Europe created through bonds of kinship seemed a real possibility. Yet in little more than a decade after Queen Victoria's death, the prince consort's dream would lie shattered in the carnage of the First World War. Royal cousins and even siblings would find themselves on opposing sides; two of them would die horrifically at the hands of revolutionaries, and several others would be ousted from their thrones. They had lived through the halcyon days of the European monarchies, but their lives, like the lives of millions of their people, would be changed forever by the catastrophe. ungekürzt.

The Paul Cowsill Interview, Hörbuch, Digital, 57min
It was a week or so before Christmas, 1968, and I owned fewer than five long-playing record albums, including The Monkees’ Headquarters and the first two Beatles albums. I played them endlessly on what was essentially a toy record player. That its sound was tinny and that it didn’t get very loud didn’t matter; I had my very own music. I well remember that holiday season, visiting my parents’ friends, Mickey and Ginny and their infant son, Mickey Jr. Mickey Sr. was a New Brunswick, New Jersey, cop, and the family lived in a modest apartment in a small complex above the Raritan River. The visit was largely uninteresting for me except when Ginny handed me a wrapped present from under the family Christmas tree: a new record! What else could it be that shape? Eight-year-old me quickly tore off the wrapping and discovered The Rain, The Park and Other Things: The Best of The Cowsills inside. I didn’t know anything about The Cowsills yet, but it had a funny caricature of the family on the cover, and I couldn’t wait to get home and put it on my cheap turntable to hear it. Instead of being appreciative of the gift, however, I became a bit of a brat, because I couldn’t wait to get out of there and hear it! Songs such “Hair", “We Can Fly”, and “Indian Lake” became lifetime favorites that I have yet to tire of hearing. Like a lot of bands from that era, The Cowsills soon disappeared from view - 1910 Fruitgum Company, anyone? - and I didn’t give them much thought, until last week, when I was invited to watch a new documentary film by Louise Palanker, Family Band: The Cowsills Story, about the real family behind the singing family. Joining me today to talk about his family, the band, and the documentary is Paul Cowsill. Paul still leads The Cowsills, but his day jobs are equally interesting: He was an “extreme” landscaper on the NBC fantasy series Grimm, having previously worked on TNT’s Leverage and the first Twilight m Language: English.
