    Pirates and Privateers: The History of Piracy from Ancient Times to Today , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 103min
    Includes online resources and a bibliography for further reading Includes a table of contents The people who have lived outside the boundaries of normal societies and refused to play by the rules have long fascinated the world, and nowhere is this more evident than the continuing interest in the pirates of centuries past. As the subjects of books, movies, and even theme park rides, people continue to let their imaginations go when it comes to pirates, with buried treasure, parrots, and walking the plank all ingrained in pop culture’s perception of them.  The word "pirate" conjures up a romantic image of wild sea-faring rogues, living free on the high seas, and the pirates people usually think of lived during the Golden Age of Piracy, when fighting ships were powered by sail and fights between them were decided with cannons and boarding actions. Indeed, it would be an understatement to say that pop culture’s perception of piracy and pirates has been primarily influenced by Captain Edward Teach, known to the world as Blackbeard, the most famous pirate of all time. An English pirate who terrorized the high seas near the Carolinas in the early 18th century, Blackbeard was the gold standard, and in the 300 years since his death he has inspired legends that have spanned books like Treasure Island.  Of course, like any legendary figure, Blackbeard is remembered today based more on myths than reality. People continue to let their imaginations go when it comes to pirates, picturing them as the types who captured booty, hid buried treasure, and fought with superhuman strength. People have long claimed that pirates’ ghosts still haunt the Atlantic Ocean – Blackbeard’s contemporaries were so scared of him that they claimed to have seen his headless body swim around his pirate boat three times. In reality, there have been pirates of some sort throughout recorded history. Whether free-living criminals or the state-s ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Bill Hare.

    Who Killed Homer?: The Demise of Classical Education and the Recovery of Greek Wisdom , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 688min
    For over two millennia in the West, familiarity with the literature, philosophy, and values of the Classical World has been synonymous with education itself. The traditions of the Greeks explain why Western Culture’s unique tenets of democracy, capitalism, civil liberty, and constitutional government are now sweeping the globe. Yet the general public in America knows less about its cultural origins than ever before, as Classical education rapidly disappears from our high school and university curricula. Acclaimed classicists Hanson and Heath raise an impassioned call to arms: if we lose our knowledge of the Greeks, we lose our understanding of who we are. With straightforward advice and informative reading lists, the authors present a highly useful primer for anyone who wants more knowledge of Classics, and thus of the beauty and perils of our own culture. ungekürzt.

    The Power of Submission: A Biblical Exposition of Godly Authority in the Trinity, the World, the Family, and the Church , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 544min
    Longtime Pastor John Tebay has been aware, in more than a half century of ministry, that churches can become mired in disputes ranging from petty to major. Many times, these controversies have erupted into pastoral dismissals or resignations, the frequent exodus of congregants, and bitter church splits.Pastor Tebay contends that the vast majority of these quarrels are a result of a lack of clarity concerning godly authority. Is the pastor in charge? Is the congregation in charge? Are the elders in charge? Is a combination of all these factions leading the church?In his timely audiobook, The Power of Submission, John Tebay contends that our permissive culture’s resistance to authority has permeated the Church and that God’s clear principle of authority has become muddled, murky, or ignored. When spiritual authority is unclear, the potential for division, strife, confusion, and darkness among God’s people and the world is highly intensified, always lurking and waiting to erupt.But when God is the source of authority and is applied to the Church, the family, and individuals as laid out in the Bible, you will discover how the “power of submission” can change lives and change the hearts and minds of those in the Church and in church leadership. ungekürzt.

    The Critical Few: Energize Your Company's Culture by Choosing What Really Matters , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 261min
    In a global survey by the Katzenbach Center, 80 percent of respondents believed that their organization must evolve to succeed. But a full quarter of them reported that a change effort at their organization had resulted in no visible results. Why?   The fate of any change effort depends on whether and how leaders engage their culture: the self-sustaining patterns of behaving, feeling, thinking, and believing that determine how things are done in an organization. Culture is implicit rather than explicit, emotional rather than rational - that’s what makes it so hard to work with, but that’s also what makes it so powerful.    For the first time, this book lays out the Katzenbach Center’s proven methodology for identifying your culture’s three most critical elements: traits, characteristics that are at the heart of people’s emotional connection to what they do; keystone behaviors, actions that would lead your company to succeed if they were replicated at a greater scale; and authentic informal leaders, people who have a high degree of “emotional intuition” or social connectedness.  By leveraging these critical few elements, you can tap in to a source of catalytic change within your organization. People will make an emotional, not just a rational, commitment to new initiatives. You will elicit enthusiasm and creativity and build the kind of powerful company that people recognize for its innate value and effectiveness. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Sandy Weaver.

    Erection: A Memoir , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 285min
    For decades, news outlets have described sexual misconduct by prominent men, ranging from indecent exposure and molestation, to spousal abuse, rape, and murder. And while social movements have empowered women to add their stories to these headlines, so much inappropriate sexual behavior happens below the radar and is treated as natural, normal, or is excused - because “boys will be boys”, or worse, “she asked for it”.In Erection, author David Thomas narrates his young, repressed childhood, and the pattern of “thinking with his crotch” that haunted his life. After growing up trying to sexually escalate every interaction with a woman, David finds himself the teenage husband in a shotgun marriage that would last 12 years and produce two daughters he adores and abandons. Then divorcing his first wife for a trophy wife and a decade of sexual pleasure, David’s life would spiral into addiction and pain that wounded everyone the marriages touched. It would be only after his second divorce crippled his son when David would discover the right role for passionate sex in an intimate relationship.Erection is a story of the human damage ordinary men create when they follow their hormones and their culture’s permission to pursue aggressive sexual activity unreflectively, and to avoid at all costs reflecting on and communicating about their sexuality. ungekürzt.
