The Deejays , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 642min
In 1971, Arnold Passman's The Deejays was the first book to closely examine the rise of the disc jockey - the tribal chieftains who manipulate (and possibly create) popular taste with every spin of the turntable. It became the "go-to" reference book on the subject for decades thereafter. From Martin Block to "Jazzbo" Collins, Alan Freed to Murray the K, Wolfman Jack to Rosko, this is the definitive saga of the men behind the music. Long out-of-print, this volume is now presented in digital form for the first time. Included is a never-before-published afterword from the author. "How We Hate to Get Up in the Morning" details the 70+ year history of powerful wake-up radio. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Alan Douglas.

Mythos Mittelalter: 10 populäre Irrtümer, Hörbuch, Digital, 68min
War das Mittelalter wirklich finster? Waren Burgen uneinnehmbar und die Menschen damals einfältig-dumm? Um kaum eine historische Epoche ranken sich derart viele und widersprüchliche Mythen wie um das Mittelalter. Es gilt als Inbegriff einer finsteren Zeit voll abergläubischer Intoleranz und grausamer Gewalt: Verschwenderische Fürsten unterdrückten rücksichtslos das darbende Volk, an jeder Ecke standen Galgen, brannten Scheiterhaufen, und schon ein fauler Zahn konnte den Tod bedeuten. Gleichzeitig wird das Reich der Ritter oft auch als ein harmonisches Zeitalter verklärt, in dem wohlgeordnete soziale Verhältnisse herrschten und der Mensch im Einklang mit Gott und der Natur ein sinnerfülltes, einfaches Leben führte. Doch wo liegt die historische Wahrheit? Dieses Hörbuch spürt der historischen Wirklichkeit hinter den Mythennach und klärt gängige Missverständnisse auf, ohne dabei jemals belehrend den Zeigefinger zu heben: ein lehrreicher Hörgenuss! deutsch.

Ultimate soldier. Ultimate mission. But will the SAS be able to outfox the IRA as they prepare a deadly reprisal? May 1987: a successful SAS ambush results in the deaths of eight IRA terrorists in Loughgall.

Then two IRA members arrive in Southern Spain under false names, and an Irishwoman, also using a false identity, visits the changing of the guard ceremony outside the Governor of Gibraltar's residence.

Miranda , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 477min
Strong-minded, irrepressible Miranda Griscom is content working as a live-in housekeeper for the young Spafford family. Here she is loved and appreciated in contrast to her lonely childhood as an unwanted granddaughter. When a wealthy neighbor proposes marriage so that she can care for his motherless children, she is delighted to show him the door, proud that she is “a free and independent woman who can earn her own living”. In spite of her own sad beginning, Miranda has always championed the underdog. In her youth she devised a way to thwart the schoolteacher from unfairly giving the neighborhood bad boy a beating. Years later, in a comical plan involving mesmerizing and “ghosts”, she manages to catch the person responsible for the murder that caused her friend to flee the town. The story expands from the small town to include real personages of the mid 19th century: Samuel Morse, inventor of the telegraph; Dr. Marcus Whitman, missionary and blazer of the Oregon Trail. But it is chiefly the story of courageous-hearted, indomitable Miranda, a unique and endearing character. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Anne Hancock.

Desperately seeking a fresh start after his experiences during the Great War, Wyndham has been recruited to head up a new post in the police force.

A senior official has been murdered, and a note left in his mouth warns the British to quit India - or else. With rising political dissent and the stability of the Raj under threat, Wyndham and his two new colleagues - arrogant Inspector Digby and British-educated but Indian-born Sergeant Banerjee, one of the few Indians to be recruited into the new CID - embark on an investigation that will take them from the luxurious parlours of wealthy British traders to the seedy opium dens of the city.
