    The World Inside , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 471min
    Welcome to Urban Monad 116. Reaching nearly two miles into the sky, the 1,000 stories of this building are home to over 800,000 people living in peace and harmony. In the year 2381 with a world population of over 75 billion souls, the massive Urbmon system is humanity’s salvation. Life in Urbmon 116 is highly regulated, life is cherished, and the culture of procreation is seen as the highest pinnacle of god’s plan. Conflict is abhorred, and any who disturb the peace face harsh punishment—even being sent “down the chute” to be recycled as fertilizer. Jason Quevedo, a historian, searches records of the 20th century hoping to find the root of his discontent with the perfection of Urbmon life. Siegmund Kluver, a young and ambitious administrator, strives to reach the top levels of the Urbmon’s government and discovers the civilization’s dark truths. Michael Statler, a computer engineer, harbors a forbidden desire. He dreams of leaving the building—of walking in the open air and visiting the far-off sea. This is a dream he must keep secret. If anyone were to find out, he’d face the worst punishment imaginable. The World Inside is a fascinating exploration of society and what makes us human, told by a master of speculative fiction. The World Inside is a 1971 Hugo Award Nominee for Best Novella. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Paul Boehmer.

    Soviet Union in World War 2: A Captivating Guide to Life in the Soviet Union and Some of the Main Events on the Eastern Front Such as the Battle of Stalingrad, Battle of Kursk, and Siege of Leningrad , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 147min
    If you want to learn about the Soviet Union and Eastern Front during World War 2, then pay attention...No nation suffered more losses during the Second World War than the Soviet Union. The figure most historians recognize as roughly accurate is 20 million. The exact figure is impossible to tally for a number of reasons: destroyed records, inexact pre-war records, Soviet politicization of the population figures before and after the war, and much more.No matter what the exact total was, what is known is that the Soviet population only recovered its losses from the war in the late 1950s. For those of you unfamiliar with WWII, the combined losses sustained by the United States and Great Britain were just over 800,000 dead. The Soviets lost that many people during the Siege of Leningrad alone.In Soviet Union in World War 2: A Captivating Guide to Life in the Soviet Union and Some of the Main Events on the Eastern Front Such as the Battle of Stalingrad, Battle of Kursk, and Siege of Leningrad, you will discover topics such as:Before the WarStalinism1938 and 1939InterludeBarbarossaWar of ExterminationThe Major BattlesAnd much, much more!So, if you want to learn more about the Soviet Union and Eastern Front during World War 2, scroll up and click the "buy now" button! ungekürzt.

    Crimea , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 1238min
    The terrible conflict that dominated the mid-19th century, the Crimean War, killed at least 800,000 men and pitted Russia against a formidable coalition of Britain, France and the Ottoman Empire. It was a war for territory, provoked by fear that if the Ottoman Empire were to collapse then Russia could control a huge swathe of land from the Balkans to the Persian Gulf. But it was also a war of religion, driven by a fervent, populist and ever more ferocious belief by the Tsar and his ministers that it was Russia's task to rule all Orthodox Christians and control the Holy Land.  Orlando Figes' major new book reimagines this extraordinary war, in which the stakes could not have been higher and which was fought with a terrible mixture of ferocity and incompetence. It was both a recognisably modern conflict - the first to be extensively photographed, the first to employ the telegraph, the first 'newspaper war' - and a traditional one, with illiterate soldiers, amateur officers and huge casualties caused by disease. Drawing on a huge range of fascinating sources, Figes also gives the lived experience of the war, from that of the ordinary British soldier in his snow-filled trench to the haunted, gloomy, narrow figure of Tsar Nicholas himself as he vows to take on the whole world in his hunt for religious salvation. ungekürzt.

    Written in Blood: The Battles for Fortress Przemyl in WWI (Twentieth-Century Battles) , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 894min
    Bloodier than Verdun, the battles for Fortress Przemyl were pivotal to victory on the Eastern Front during the early years of World War I. Control of the fortress changed hands three times during the fall of 1914. In 1915, the Austro-Hungarian armies launched three major offensives to penetrate the Russian encirclement and relieve the 120,000 trapped in the besieged fortress. Drawing on myriad sources, historian Graydon A. Tunstall tells of the impossible conditions facing the garrison: starvation, "horse-meat" diets, deplorable medical care, prostitution, alcoholism, dismal morale, and a failed breakout attempt. By the time the fortress finally fell to the Russians on March 22, 1915, the Hapsburg Army had sustained 800,000 casualties; the Russians, over a million. The fortress, however, had served its purpose. Tunstall argues that the besieged garrison kept the Russian army from advancing farther and obliterating the already weakening Austro-Hungarian forces at the outset of the War to End All Wars.The book is published by Indiana University Press. The audiobook is published by University Press Audiobooks."Stimulating and informative…an extremely useful and informative work about the Eastern Front in World War I." (Journal of Military History)"Must-have reference…rich with well-researched information…" (Roads to the Great War)"A valuable and unique contribution…Tunstall is the only scholar who could have done it."

    Classical Antiquity: A Captivating Guide to Ancient Greece and Rome and How These Civilizations Influenced Europe, North Africa, and Western Asia , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 188min
    If you want to discover the captivating history of classical antiquity, then pay attention....From about the ninth to fifth centuries BCE, the population of Greece grew unprecedentedly large, expanding from about 800,000 people to as many as 13 million. About a quarter million of these lived in Athens. The average size of urban households during this period grew considerably, a fact that suggests that food was suddenly available in excesses sufficient to keep larger families healthy and alive much more effectively than just a millennium earlier. Bigger families meant bigger armies and larger communities that would eventually grow into the metropolises of Classical Greece.This incredible stretch of time is called classical antiquity, the age in which Western civilization first realized its potential and place in the world. The era brought on big changes for all the people of the Mediterranean. Thanks to new agricultural methods, seafaring technology, and trade, great civilizations sprang up around the sea, building large urban centers full of artists, merchants, political thinkers, scientists, and philosophers. As Greco-Roman culture grew, the relationships each city and realm had with one another also developed and changed.In Classical Antiquity: A Captivating Guide to Ancient Greece and Rome and How These Civilizations Influenced Europe, North Africa, and Western Asia, you will discover topics such asA blind poet from IoniaAthens, GreeceSlaveryThe Golden Age of AthensPericles at warThe Socratic methodPlatoAlexander the GreatThe Hellenistic periodFrom Greece to RomeThe Roman RepublicThe gladiatorsJulius CaesarRemnants of classical antiquityAnd much, much more!So if you want to learn more about classical antiquity, listen to this audiobook! ungekürzt.

    Reconstruction Era: A History from Beginning to End , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 65min
    The American Civil War, fought from 1861 to 1865, produced casualties and destruction on an unprecedented scale. Up to 800,000 soldiers were killed, and huge swathes of the American south were devastated. However, although the defeat of the Confederate States and the end of the war brought peace of a sort, it left many unresolved issues. The period following the end of the Civil War has become known as the Reconstruction Era, and during this time there were efforts to achieve two separate goals: to reintegrate the former rebel southern states fully into the Union and to achieve not only the abolition of slavery - which had been a war aim for the north - but also the emancipation and granting of civil rights to freed slaves.Inside you will listen about:The End of Abraham Lincoln and the Civil WarRadical ReconstructionCarpetbaggers and ScalawagsThe Rise of the Ku Klux KlanCorruption and RecessionAnd much more! The Reconstruction Era proved almost as divisive as the Civil War itself - the freeing of slaves threatened to undermine the very basis of society and many southerners resisted. For some in the north, the unwillingness of people in the south to adopt new laws and new ways of life seemed to negate the whole point of the war. After all, what was the point of fighting and winning a war if the very things that were fought for failed to happen?The Reconstruction Era was a period of turmoil and change in the United States, and it ended not with a complete victory for either side but with a compromise which satisfied no-one. However, this period did pave the way for important changes which came much later. This is the complex and sometimes confusing story of the Reconstruction Era. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    Mindfulness for Kids: A Mindful Parenting Guide for Cultivating Calm, Teaching Self-Regulation, and Boosting Self-Esteem, One Day at a Time , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 241min
    Mindfulness for Kids Did you know that, in the US alone, over 1.1 million children have been misdiagnosed with ADHD, with 800,000 of them receiving stimulant medication as a result?Brashness, tantrums and short attention spans are every parent’s nightmare. In my practice, I get a lot of parents who can’t even remember the last time they had some peace around the house, uninterrupted conversations with guests, or even a seamless family night out together, without the fits of rage coming from their otherwise little angels. Because of this, many are tempted to go to the doctor to find some kind of medication or pill that could make their troubles go away.But is this the correct thing to do?With the growing misdiagnoses of ADD and ADHD, and the surging of pharmaceutical companies whose bottom lines depend on these diagnoses, bringing your child for testing is something parents are beginning to think twice about.My recommendation?What I and the other experts recommend is starting with behavior therapy first. Mindfulness, for instance, has gone from being a niche spiritual practice to a scientifically proven, cognitive-based approach to teaching your child the art of present awareness, inner peace, and happiness.This is why I have written Mindfulness for Kids. It is to provide parents with a practical guide on how to approach erratic, emotional, and ungrounded behavior from our beloved children.In Mindfulness for Kids, you will:Discover how to effortlessly and seamlessly smooth out your child’s explosive emotions and aggressive behavior.Apply secret parenting techniques only experts know about.Develop strategies to help your child grow their self-esteem and social skills.Discover how food and eating habits affect your child’s mood (and the types of food your child should always avoid).Learn how to become part of ungekürzt.
