    American Legends: The Life of Stephen Douglas , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 131min
    Explains the central issues of the 1850s, including the Missouri Compromise, the Kansas-Nebraska Act, popular sovereignty and the Dred Scott Decision. "Now, I hold that Illinois had a right to abolish and prohibit slavery as she did, and I hold that Kentucky has the same right to continue and protect slavery that Illinois had to abolish. I hold that New York had as much right to abolish slavery as Virginia has to continue it, and that each and every State of this Union is a sovereign power, with the right to do as it pleases upon this question of slavery, and upon all its domestic institutions. ...And why can we not adhere to the great principle of self-government, upon which our institutions were originally based." - Stephen Douglas A lot of ink has been spilled covering the lives of history's most influential figures, but how much of the forest is lost for the trees? In Charles River Editors' American Legends series, listeners can get caught up to speed on the lives of America's most important men and women in the time it takes to finish a commute, while learning interesting facts long forgotten or never known. The most famous debates in American history were held over 150 years ago, and today they are remembered and celebrated, mostly because they included future President Abraham Lincoln, one of the nation's most revered men. But in the Fall of 1858, Lincoln was just a one-term Congressman who had to all but beg his US Senate opponent to debate him. That's because his opponent, incumbent US Senator Stephen Douglas, was one of the most famous national politicians of the era. Though Douglas is remembered today almost entirely for his association with Lincoln, in 1858 he was "The Little Giant" of American politics and a leader of the Democratic Party. ungekürzt.

    Why , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 1233min
    Why is an epic story, 1838-1863, chronicling the lives of two sisters, one White, the other Black, both born in 1847, three days apart, on Virginia's wealthy Rosewood Plantation. The White sister is the child of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Billings, master and mistress of Rosewood, one of the richest cotton plantations in the state of Virginia. The Black girl is the issue of the mating of Henry Billings, the master of the Rosewood Plantation, and one of his female Black slaves. While growing up together, one a slave, the other her mistress, in the slave-holding antebellum South, sharing many childhood experiences, the girls are forced to adhere to the harsh rules and laws that separate White from Black. Henry and Margaret Billings hire a recent college graduate, Miss Eleanor Leary, a young progressive, Irish immigrant, to tutor their children, Rebecca and her brother, Jesse. Despite her fear of breaking the laws that prohibit the teaching of slaves to read and write, Eleanor, at Rebecca's request, decides to include the Black slave girl Mandy in their sessions. A whole new world is opened for Mandy. Through the teachings and the eyes of the White teacher, Mandy slowly, gradually, discards her insidious, lifelong feelings of racial inferiority, and self-loathing. Feelings and assumptions that Mandy had harbored and accepted from birth were now being replaced by developing feelings of racial pride and personal self-esteem. The novel examines three coexisting 19th-century American cultures: the privileged world of the South's antebellum slave holding, White Planter Society; the oppressed communities of the Black slaves; and the noble, nomadic hunter-gatherer society of the plains Indians. The turbulent events of this time in American history results in the two sisters finding themselves living in and experiencing the three cultures, and one sister is forced to choose between her lifelong love for her sibling and the love that develops between her ungekürzt.

    The Darwin Economy: Liberty, Competition, and the Common Good , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 503min
    Who was the greater economist--Adam Smith or Charles Darwin? The question seems absurd. Darwin, after all, was a naturalist, not an economist. But Robert Frank, New York Times economics columnist and best-selling author of The Economic Naturalist, predicts that within the next century Darwin will unseat Smith as the intellectual founder of economics. The reason, Frank argues, is that Darwin's understanding of competition describes economic reality far more accurately than Smith's. And the consequences of this fact are profound. Indeed, the failure to recognize that we live in Darwin's world rather than Smith's is putting us all at risk by preventing us from seeing that competition alone will not solve our problems. Smith's theory of the invisible hand, which says that competition channels self-interest for the common good, is probably the most widely cited argument today in favor of unbridled competition--and against regulation, taxation, and even government itself. But what if Smith's idea was almost an exception to the general rule of competition? That's what Frank argues, resting his case on Darwin's insight that individual and group interests often diverge sharply. Far from creating a perfect world, economic competition often leads to "arms races," encouraging behaviors that not only cause enormous harm to the group but also provide no lasting advantages for individuals, since any gains tend to be relative and mutually offsetting. The good news is that we have the ability to tame the Darwin economy. The best solution is not to prohibit harmful behaviors but to tax them. By doing so, we could make the economic pie larger, eliminate government debt, and provide better public services, all without requiring painful sacrifices from anyone. That's a bold claim, Frank concedes, but it follows directly from logic and evidence that most people already accept. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Walter Dixon.

    Sites of Genocide (eBook, ePUB)
    "Genocide" may be the most powerful word in the English language. What is the significance and relevance of this formative concept today? In an extraordinarily wide-ranging collection of essays and interviews, Adam Jones, one of the world's leading genocide scholars, explores the uses and controversies surrounding the term that Raphael Lemkin coined during the Second World War to describe and prohibit mass atrocities against defined human groups. In a style that is learned but always accessible and engaging, Jones addresses key historical and contemporary issues, such as: What were the motivations and proclaimed justifications for genocide in the "long nineteenth century" that shaped our modern world? How can "humanitarian" interventions in genocide avoid sliding into new imperialism? What are the connections between religion and genocide? How can the gender variable in genocide perpetration and victimization be understood? A wide range of historical and contemporary genocides and crimes against humanity, from the eighteenth-century slave rebellion in Haiti to Myanmar's destruction of the Rohingya, and to the forms of structural and systemic violence that Jones argues should be encompassed by any global-historical understanding of genocide. Sites of Genocide is illustrated with photos from Jones's own collection and other sources. It will be of interest to all students and scholars of human rights and for general readers seeking a point of entry to the rich and provocative debates in comparative genocide studies.

    Justice for All (eBook, ePUB)
    Justice for All identifies ten central flaws in the criminal justice system and offers an array of solutions - from status quo to evolution to revolution - to address the inequities and injustices that far too often result in courtrooms across the United States. From the investigatory stage to the sentencing and appellate stages, many criminal defendants, particularly those from marginalized communities, often face procedural and structural barriers that taint the criminal justice system with the stain of unfairness, prejudice, and arbitrariness. Systematic flaws in the criminal justice system underscore the inequitable processes by which courts deprive citizens of liberty and, in some instances, their lives. Comprehensive in its scope and applicability, the book focuses upon the procedural and substantive barriers that often prohibit defendants from receiving fair treatment within the United States criminal justice system. Each chapter is devoted to a particular flaw in the criminal justice system and is divided into two parts. First, the authors discuss in depth the underlying causes and effects of the flaw at issue. Second, the authors present a wide range of possible solutions to address this flaw and lead to greater equality in the administration of criminal justice. The reader is encouraged throughout to consider and assess all possible options, then defendant their choices and preferences. Confronting these issues is critical to reducing racial disparities and guaranteeing Justice for All. Describing the problems and assessing the solutions, Justice for All will be of immeasurable value to criminal justice students and scholars, as well as attorneys, judges, and legislators, who strive to address the pervasive flaws in the criminal justice system.

    COVID-19 and the Global Predators (eBook, ePUB)
    COVID-19 and the Global Predators is much more than an analysis of the current exploitation of humanity under cover of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic. It discloses for the first time the actual blueprint and master plan that that was ten years in the making by global predators before the pandemic: a plan to reorganize the world in the name of public health. Billionaires, government agencies, giant funds, and major industries collaborated years ahead of time to lay the groundwork for what would become Operation Warp Speed and the Great Reset in 2020. All this is disclosed, individuals and groups are named, and their plans for the future are documented. The book concludes with chapters on what America and the world must do in the coming weeks and months to save humanity's freedoms. Many top medical and public health experts treating and examining COVID 19 agree this is the most comprehensive book about who and what is behind the draconian measures that are crushing individual freedoms and many of the societies and economies of the Western World including the United States, Canada, Great Britain, and Australia. Three of these medical doctors have confirmed this in their introductions to the book: physicians Peter McCullough MD MPH, Vladimir "Zev" Zelenko MD and Elizabeth Lee Vliet MD. They are echoed by endorsements from Robert F Kennedy Jr. and Paul Alexander PhD. This book thoroughly documents solid answers to these tragic questions about the global predators who are reaping enormous benefits from COVID-19 suffering including wealth, power and the destruction of America as an opposition to globalism. Who are the "they"-these Global Predators? What are their motives and their plans for us?How can we defend against them? Why did they:¿ Plan Warp Speed for a SARS-CoV pandemic years before it came?¿ Distribute mRNA and DNA vaccines that killed lab animals and now humans?¿ Collaborate with the Chinese making pandemic viruses & bioweapons?¿ Hide the origin of SARS-CoV-2 in the Wuhan Institute?¿ Let China spread the virus around the world on passenger planes?¿ Give so much power to Dr. Anthony Fauci?Why do they continue to:¿ Prohibit cheap, available, safe and e¿ective COVID-19 treatments?¿ Impose draconian closures on our society and economy?¿ Disproportionately harm or destroy small businesses and churches?¿ Make us wear masks and distance ourselves from each other?¿ Exaggerate the death rate from COVID-19 to frighten us?¿ Hide the high and growing vaccine death rate from all of us?¿ Make experimental "vaccines" that turn our bodies against ourselves? Dr. Breggin is a physician with 70+ scienti¿c articles and 20+ medical texts and popular books. Heis among the world's most experienced medical experts in landmark legal cases in psychiatry andneurosurgery, and now in COVID-19. The Breggins' bestsellers include Talking Back to Prozac andToxic Psychiatry. Their research led the United States to cancel the deadly Chinese collaboration. Breggin is an intrepid scholar and is assiduous and methodological as he assembles all the pieces to the puzzle. His research, carried out with his wife Ginger, is impeccable, and his incisive approach sears the neck of those whose aim it is to wield power, control, and instill fear among the world's wealthiest nations.

    Why Not You?
    Deborah showed her love for music at the age of 8 when she started piano classes. As a teenager she took vocal lessons and at the age 18 began singing at private clubs in Curitiba, Brazil (where she was born). Hearing her for a first time was a revelation, and hearing her again...a lifelong passion. Such is the voice of Deborah. She has the remarkable ability to convey more emotion in a single phrase, sometimes in a single pained sigh or high-spirited yelp than many artist can an entire song. Musicians and composers by the time Deborah started, recognized her ability to change her voice song to song and also her complete command on her body and soul. Deborah is a greater interpreter of Brazilian music from romantic to samba and bossa nova, even though she studied 4 years in a completely different vocal arena, opera, at Rio de Janeiro Municipal Theater School. She also sings classics in Spanish, Italian, French, Portuguese, Fados, and English. Her magic is her range. She grasps the very depths of meaning from a ballad sustaining an almost unbearable aching tension, and then suddenly takes flight into an upper register to express the infinite solitude of which she is capable. Songs of palpable as told through "He Is Out of Our Lives" the song she penned in memory of Michael Jackson after he parted. The personal obstacles she faced through the time of recording her album were called the attention of the producer and musicians, but Deborah usually triumphs over her tribulations. When she started to record "He Is Out Of Our Lives" she spent hours in the studio and days trying to sing without crying. She eventually recorded, but the cry that you hear is real and the production let her go anyway. Deborah Di Maski met Michael Jackson in 1978 when he was recording "Of The Wall" in Hollywood. She told stories of Brazil to Michael about favellas (the poor life in the hills) and about samba schools, lifestyle, Brazilian women and places she used to live, Copacabana, near Ipanema. Little moments they spent together they lived like two kids, telling each other with recognizable songs. Because of her limited English at that time most of her stories were described about the singing of recognized Brazilian songs. Michael also sung to Deborah...always encouraging her with appropriate song to fit the moment. Deborah found in Michael Jackson her twin soul, artist, creative, eccentric and a lover for the audience. Both she and Michael also endured a very stern father. Though Deborah's father would always try to prohibit her singing career she found parallels in the way Michael's father treated him. " We shared our life of pain" singing to each other, walking in the streets looking for someone to talk, to understand our lovely or complicated passion for music and our lifestyle...", recalls Deborah. In 1987 Michael acted as "Scarecrow" in the "Wiz" and in 2007 Deborah acts as "Glenda" in the "Wizard of Oz". Now with the Michael gone, without understand why so soon, she wrote "He Is Out Of Our Lives" offering this song to anyone in the world who love and admire Michael for his generous heart and beautiful soul. A great Brazilian music interpreter from romantic to samba and bossa nova, Deborah's magic is in her scene. She grasps the very depths of meaning from a ballad sustaining an almost unbearable aching tension, and then suddenly takes flight into a upper register to express the infinite solitude of which she is capable. Songs of a palpable sorrow as told like "He is Out Of Our Lives" the song she penned in memory of Michael Jackson after he parted.?A beautiful and very inspiring CD.
