Great Figures of the Civil Rights Movement, Hörbuch, Digital, 380min

Malcolm X. Marcus Garvey. Charles Hamilton Houston. Diane Nash. For every well-known figure of the Civil Rights Movement, there are dozens of lesser-known, yet no less significant, activists who helped advance America’s social views and helped shape race relations in this country. Most listeners have only skimmed the surface of these deeply complex, influential, and world-changing figures. Dr. Hasan Kwame Jeffries of The Ohio State University delves into their stories, presenting an intimate study of the men and women who led half a century of social change. Listeners will hear the histories behind well-known names, such as Martin Luther King, Jr. and Rosa Parks, and gain surprising insight and deep context about the activists’ contributions. Dr. Jeffries also introduces figures whose names may be less familiar, but who also played vital roles in Civil Rights, such as Ella Baker, Fannie Lou Hamer, and Stokely Carmichael. Each biography unfolds like a piece of riveting fiction, as Dr. Jeffries recounts the challenges and successes of the individuals - and the tremendous risks they took - while explaining how their choices transformed the way we now think about race and justice. Most importantly, listeners will discover how actions that may have seemed small or even futile at the time gradually rippled into waves of social change that impacted decades to come.

Looking for Mr. Right: And Finding Oh So Wrong for Me , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 328min

“Miss Davis, why are you here?” He sat behind the desk, his elbows resting on the rich wood, his fingertips touching, and his dark eyes, barely tolerable of me.... He was the hottest man I’d ever seen, and I had dated a rock star, a basketball player, and a pilot, who were, in my opinion, all tens. “I need a job.” He picked up my resume, skimmed through it quickly, then set the folder on top of his desk. “I have a proposition for you.” “But....” “Miss Davis, please shut that little mouth of yours and listen.” I listened all right, and then I laughed in his face. “That’s preposterous, Mr. Wright.” “Why? Do you find me unattractive?” “Well, no.” “You already mentioned that you were desperate to find a husband and work. What I’m proposing isn’t really work, but it pays well, and after the contract is up, you will be all set for life. So, what’s the problem?” “I don’t know you. We barely met.” “Then I suggest we get to know one another right away. I’ll pick you up at six this evening. I’ve got your address here.” “But....” “What’s the problem now, Miss Davis?” “I - I don’t know what to wear?” “I’m sure you’ve got a little black number of some kind. Every woman does. Wear that and be ready by six. I’m never late.” This is similar to the story by Nicole Snow Baby Fever Bride. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Cassandra Arnold.

Church of Spies: The Pope's Secret War Against Hitler , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 605min

The Vatican's silence in the face of Nazi atrocities remains one of the great controversies of our time. History has accused wartime pontiff Pius the Twelfth of complicity in the Holocaust and dubbed him "Hitler's Pope". But a key part of the story has remained untold. Pius ran the world's largest church, smallest state, and oldest spy service. Saintly but secretive, he skimmed from church charities to pay covert couriers and surreptitiously tape-recorded his meetings with top Nazis. When he learned of the Holocaust, Pius played his cards close to his chest. He sent birthday cards to Hitler - while secretly plotting to kill him. Church of Spies documents this cloak-and-dagger intrigue in shocking detail. Gun-toting Jesuits stole blueprints to Hitler's homes. A Catholic book publisher flew a sports plane over the Alps with secrets filched from the head of Hitler's bodyguard. The keeper of the Vatican crypt ran a spy ring that betrayed German war plans and wounded Hitler in a briefcase bombing. The plotters made history in ways they hardly expected. They inspired European unification, forged a US-Vatican alliance that spanned the Cold War, and challenged Church teachings on Jews. Yet Pius' secret war muted his public response to Nazi crimes. Fearing that overt protest would impede his covert actions, he never spoke the "fiery words" he wanted. Told with heart-pounding suspense, based on secret transcripts and unsealed files, Church of Spies throws open the Vatican's doors to reveal some of the most astonishing events in the history of the papacy. The result is an unprecedented audiobook that will change perceptions of how the world's greatest moral institution met the greatest moral crisis in history. ungekürzt. Language: English.

Over Ella’s short break, she learns that the one in charge of the interns at her upcoming internship with is her adored tutor James. She hasn’t seen or heard from him since finals week and she had finally been able to put him in the back of her mind when he contacted her. She was studying at the library, the day after the debates, when J.F. sent a text saying, “Ella; Hope your break is going well! I just found out that you will be one of my subordinates at the research lab this summer. Looking forward to seeing you on the 4th”! Reading the text brought all of Ella’s emotions bubbling right back to the surface; goosebumps trickled across her body shooting into her loins. She thought about all possible scenarios that could occur between them all alone in a lab. Then, she recalled, that J.F. said he didn’t know who Dr. Q was. She thought about texting him back, but she didn’t want him to think she was overly anxious to talk to him, so she stopped herself, took deep breaths and meditated until her mind was clear.[5.1] One week until internship.Ella has been reading up on certain physics topics and decides to take a break and go back through the presidential election and the heavenly visitor.

Zion Tour, Hörbuch, Digital, 52min

Waypoint Tours are educational, entertaining, self-guided tours designed to help plan your travel adventures, enhance travel experience, and cherish your travel memories.Welcome to Zion, a land of shear cliffs, ancient sand dunes, amazing vistas, and verdant garden alcoves. How did Zion come to be named? Pioneer Isaac Behunin, leafing through the Book of Isaiah one evening, was struck by the way the setting sun's last ruddy light hit Red Arch Mountain. The name came to him by epiphany as he skimmed through Isaiah chapter 2 verse 3: "And many people shall go and say, Come ye, and let us go up the mountain of the Lord...and we will walk in his paths: for out of Zion shall go forth the law."Now about 2.5 million pilgrims from around the world are drawn here each year. Some come to gaze in awe at the majesty of Zion's grandeur, pedestals of stone so tall and massive they seem to support the sky. Rock climbers pit their muscle against these mighty walls, inching upward on ascents that can last days. Geologists work in the opposite direction. Descending the walls and tracking changes in the rock, they can almost travel back through time, learning how our planet works by understanding the changes it has undergone. Others come to celebrate the diversity of life housed here. Reminiscent of Eden, Zion sustains an impressive species list of 800 plants, 75 mammals, 271 birds, 32 reptiles and amphibians, and six native fish.Zion is also nirvana for the hiker. The park's trails offer a full spectrum of hiking challenges. Following these paths can mean anything from a leisurely riverside stroll to a multi-night backpack to a white-knuckled, chain-assisted ascent over a thousand feet above ground.Zion is also a crown jewel of the National Park System, a shining result of the dedication of men and women who strive to leave these works of nature clean, beautiful, and natural, for the enjoyment of future generations.
