  THE MORPHOLOGY OF A BANTU (eBook, ePUB)

  The study is based in English because that language is part and parcel of British patrimony and also because it provides us with the essentials groundwork upon which to build our hopes in authorships and to our part, in these cultural studies, we strongly believe that the current English language structure is something standard and efficacious.

  The China Collectors: America's Century-Long Hunt for Asian Art Treasures , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 1030min

  Thanks to Salem sea captains, Gilded Age millionaires, curators on horseback and missionaries gone native, North American museums now possess the greatest collections of Chinese art outside of East Asia itself. How did it happen? The China Collectors is the first full account of a century-long treasure hunt in China from the Opium Wars and the Boxer Rebellion to Mao Zedong's 1949 ascent. The principal gatherers are mostly little known and defy invention. They included "foreign devils" who braved desert sandstorms, bandits, and local warlords in acquiring significant works. Adventurous curators like Langdon Warner, a forebear of Indiana Jones, argued that the caves of Dunhuang were already threatened by vandals, thereby justifying the removal of frescoes and sculptures. Other Americans include George Kates, an alumnus of Harvard, Oxford, and Hollywood, who fell in love with Ming furniture. The Chinese were divided between dealers who profited from the artworks' removal and scholars who sought to protect their country's patrimony. Duanfang, the greatest Chinese collector of his era, was beheaded in a coup, and his splendid bronzes now adorn major museums. Others in this rich tapestry include Charles Lang Freer, an enlightened Detroit entrepreneur; two generations of Rockefellers; Avery Brundage, the imperious Olympian; and Arthur Sackler, the grand acquisitor. No less important are two museum directors, Cleveland's Sherman Lee and Kansas City's Laurence Sickman, who challenged the East Coast's hegemony. Shareen Blair Brysac and Karl E. Meyer evenhandedly consider whether ancient treasures were looted or salvaged and whether it was morally acceptable to spirit hitherto inaccessible objects westward, where they could be studied and preserved by trained museum personnel. And how should the US and Canada and their museums respond now that China has the means and will to reclaim its missing patrimony? ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: George Backman.

  The Mercy of Allah , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 578min

  Aged merchant Mahmoud relates to his young nephews the story of his rise to fabulous riches. From being kicked out (literally) from the family home by his exasperated father, with only the barest patrimony to sustain him, the young wastrel goes from rags to riches, and back again, aided only by "providence" - and his very inventive wits. In "The Mercy of Allah", Belloc uses an Oriental setting to satirise the Western commercial and economic issues of his time, including the abuse of monopoly, insider trading, and the dangers of paper currency unbacked by gold. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Graham Scott. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/mike/003162/bk_mike_003162_sample.mp3. Digital audiobook in aax.

  Sharpening Your Tongue: A Regnum Christi Essay on Charity in Our Words , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 88min

  Regnum Christi essays are extended, in-depth reflections on particular aspects of life as a Regnum Christi member. An essay may develop the nature of a virtue, showing what that virtue might look like when lived out in harmony with the Regnum Christi identity and mission. An essay may explore the challenges of living out one of the commitments shared by all members. An essay may be instructive, explaining the history, context, and meaning of certain movement traditions. In short, RC essays are a chance for all of us to delve deeper into our charism, reflecting seriously on our spiritual patrimony, which the church has recognized and lauded, and in that way helping that patrimony grow and bear fruit. RC essays make no pretense of being the sole and exhaustive expression of our charism. The RC Spirituality Center will review and edit them to ensure their quality in expression and content, but no single person owns a collective charism in such a way as to give it a definitive and exhaustive expression. This is one of the important lessons we have begun to learn in our process of reform and renewal. Some RC essays will lend themselves naturally to personal meditation; others will be especially apt for group study circles; all aim to be useful as spiritual resources for members in every branch of the movement. It is our hope and prayer that this series will continue to grow organically under the Holy Spirit's guidance. Some essays will connect more strongly with our members, and others less, while some may fall by the wayside after their useful moment has passed. Yet perhaps the best RC Essays will stand the test of time, becoming spiritual and intellectual nourishment for many generations of movement members. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Fr. John Bartunek LC STHD. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/053245/bk_acx0_053245_sample.mp3. Digital audiobook in aax.

  The Hollow Men: Politics and Corruption in Higher Education , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 682min

  College curriculums that were once centered on instruction in the classics of Western civilization have become smorgasbords where almost anything qualifies as a course in the liberal arts and where political conformity is enforced by professors. Stanford University, caving in to demands from the Black Student Union (“We don’t want to read any more dead white guys”), removed Homer, Dante, Luther, Darwin, and Freud from its course on Western civilization. At Dartmouth, a professor of women’s studies describes the goal of her program as, simply, “the reconstruction of reality.”Sykes calls the abandonment of the great books a “startling triumph for unreason” and shows how American higher education is turning out hollow men and women––apathetic, ignorant, and empty of the civilizational patrimony that should be theirs. ungekürzt.
