    Agog in Oakland USA: Visiting the 'New' Catholic Cathedral Christ the Light , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 50min
    The Great Continental Divide in the Western States in America defines water running east or west. Not just a geologic formation in its younger age 100 million years ago, this awesome and continent-defining set of snow-capped mountains offers the barrier of imagination through which migrating Americans traveled to come to what are now States like California (38 million residents). Like a book of facts, the majestic formations that characterized this area of the world are spiced even by its denizens, its citizens, its friends as a part of the Pacific Rim. These words, seemingly encyclopedic in their arrangement and tone, turn the man-made, the humble and the unusual in the Wild West (where in a City named Oakland - situated on San Francisco Bay and sharing with its more romantic and celebrated sister San Francisco), toward the recognition that the construction of a modern Roman Catholic Cathedral captures the sensibilities of its diverse worshipers - worshipers who have built, with skill, style and advanced techniques, a monument to God for its 600,000 Diocesan members' use. A holy place, a Benedictine Monk told this writer, is a place of worship and a House of God. This Cathedral of Christ the Light as it is called was a work of devotion and love. ungekürzt.

    The Four Tendencies: The Indispensable Personality Profiles That Reveal How to Make Your Life Better (and Other People's Lives Better, Too) , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 397min
    In this groundbreaking analysis of personality type, best-selling author of Better Than Before and The Happiness Project Gretchen Rubin reveals the one simple question that will transform what you do at home, at work, and in life. During her multi-book investigation into understanding human nature, Gretchen Rubin realized that by asking the seemingly dry question “How do I respond to expectations?” we gain explosive self-knowledge. She discovered that based on their answer, people fit into Four Tendencies: Upholders, Questioners, Obligers, and Rebels. Our Tendency shapes every aspect of our behavior, so using this framework allows us to make better decisions, meet deadlines, suffer less stress, and engage more effectively.More than 600,000 people have taken her online quiz, and managers, doctors, teachers, spouses, and parents already use the framework to help people make significant, lasting change.The Four Tendencies hold practical answers if you’ve ever thought:People can rely on me, but I can’t rely on myself.How can I help someone to follow good advice?People say I ask too many questions.How do I work with someone who refuses to do what I ask - or who keeps telling me what to do?With sharp insight, compelling research, and hilarious examples, The Four Tendencies will help you get happier, healthier, more productive, and more creative. It’s far easier to succeed when you know what works for you. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Gretchen Rubin. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/rand/005127/bk_rand_005127_sample.mp3.

    The Stories of Slang , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 692min
    Like the flesh-and-blood humans whose uncensored emotions it represents, slang's obsessions are sex, the body and its functions, and intoxication: drink and drugs. Slang does not do kind. It's about hatreds - both intimate and national - about the insults that follow on, the sneers and the put-downs. Caring, sharing and compassion? Not at this address. There are over 10,000 terms focusing on sex, but love? Not one. Jonathon Green, aka 'Mr Slang', has drawn on the 600,000-plus citations that make up his magisterial Green's Dictionary of Slang (published 2010, and now available online) to tell some of slang's most entertaining stories. Categories range from The Body to Pulp Diction, via multicultural London English and pun-tastic gems. Mostly gazing up from the gutter, slang, perhaps surprisingly, also embraces the stars. These stories may look at drunken sailors, dubious doctors, and a shelf of dangerously potent cocktails, but slang does class acts as well. None more so than Shakespeare. Devotee of the double entendre, master of the pun, and the first to put nearly 300 slang terms in print. 'Shakespeare, uses, at my count, just over 500 "slang" terms, of which 277 are currently the first recorded use of a given term. Among these are the beast with two backs, every mother's son, fat-headed, heifer (for woman), pickers and stealers (hands), small beer (insignificant matters), what the dickens, and many more.' ungekürzt.

    The Civil War: A Captivating Guide to the American Civil War and Its Impact on the History of the United States , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 183min
    Explore the deadliest war in American history!No other war in the history of the US has sparked as much debate and conflict as the American Civil War. For more than 150 years, the story of the Civil War has been a source of contention, confusion, and even contempt in American life. Even today, the American public cannot agree on the causes of the Civil War, never mind its lessons or legacy.More Americans died in the Civil War than in WWI, WWII, and Vietnam combined. The war not only put Americans against Americans, but family against family, neighbor against neighbor, friend against friend. The conflict between the Union and the Confederacy still runs deep in some parts of the US. Indeed, the fundamental questions of the Civil War - questions about racial (in)equality, the rights of citizenship, and the role of government - remain hot debates today. In many ways, the war that claimed more than 600,000 American lives a century and a half ago is still the biggest battle being waged on American soil.In The Civil War: A Captivating Guide to the American Civil War and Its Impact on the History of the United States, you will discover topics such as:An uneasy nationThe foundation cracksThe first shotWelcome to warBloody daysProclaiming freedomThe War looks grimTurning the tideThe final fightReunitedPost-war AmericaAnd much, much more!So listen to this audiobook now if you want to learn about the Civil War! ungekürzt.

    Fateful Lightning: A New History of the Civil War and Reconstruction  , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 1579min
    The Civil War is the greatest trauma ever experienced by the American nation, a four-year paroxysm of violence that left in its wake more than 600,000 dead, more than 2 million refugees, and the destruction (in modern dollars) of more than $700 billion in property. The war also sparked some of the most heroic moments in American history and enshrined a galaxy of American heroes. Above all, it permanently ended the practice of slavery and proved, in an age of resurgent monarchies, that a liberal democracy could survive the most frightful of challenges. In Fateful Lightning, two-time Lincoln Prize-winning historian Allen C. Guelzo offers a marvelous portrait of the Civil War and its era, covering not only the major figures and epic battles, but also politics, religion, gender, race, diplomacy, and technology. And unlike other surveys of the Civil War era, it extends the reader's vista to include the postwar Reconstruction period and discusses the modern-day legacy of the Civil War in American literature and popular culture. Guelzo also puts the conflict in a global perspective, underscoring Americans' acute sense of the vulnerability of their republic in a world of monarchies. He examines the strategy, the tactics, and especially the logistics of the Civil War and brings the most recent historical thinking to bear on emancipation, the presidency and the war powers, the blockade and international law, and the role of intellectuals, North and South. Written by a leading authority on our nation's most searing crisis, Fateful Lightning offers a vivid and original account of an event whose echoes continue with Americans to this day. ungekürzt.

    Famous Dystopias: 1984 George Orwell, We Yevgeny Zamyatin. Essays on 1984 (George Orwell) and Fahrenheit 451 (Ray Bradbury) by Lukas , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 1126min
    1984, by George Orwell, was touted as a savage satire of communist regimes for the first half-century after its publication. However, in today's decommunized world, the details of 1984 increasingly reflect our present realities. Modern man now finds himself surrounded by the then-fantastical situations depicted by Orwell, i.e., dependence on global corporations, the prevalence and influence of social networks, video surveillance, and media propaganda. In London alone, more than 600,000 CCTV cameras film the movements of passersby over 300 times per day. A classic in dystopian literature, 1984 eerily foreshadows our current world. Yevgeny Zamyatin wrote We in 1920 and thus, became the forerunner of dystopian literature, a genre that would grow to include authors such as George Orwell, Aldous Huxley, Ray Bradbury, and Ayn Rand. His visionary novel is set in the 25th-century city of OneState: a city enclosed with glass and constructed with rigid geometric conformity. The all-powerful Benefactor holds the city under a totalitarian rule that strips the passion and creativity from the populace until a mathematician, called D-503, one day discovers that he has an individual soul.Bonus Feature: Included with the text is a short biography of George Orwell and Ray Bradbury and listeners' notes for 1984 and Fahrenheit 451 that summarize each story's plots, main ideas, and characters. A further critical essay explores the impact of each book on later authors and the development of dystopian literature. These essays have been compiled especially for students and lovers of literature who wish to gain a fuller understanding of the stories they love or the texts they are compelled to study. ungekürzt.

    The Orphan Train Movement: The History of the Program that Relocated Homeless Children Across America , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 87min
    The Orphan Trains were needed at the time they happened. They were not the best answer, but they were the first attempts at finding a practical system. Many children that would have died, lived to have children and grandchildren. It has been calculated that over two million descendants have come from these children. The trains gave the children a fighting chance to grow up. - D. Bruce Ayler By the middle of the 19th century, New York City's population surpassed the unfathomable number of one million people, despite its obvious lack of space. This was mostly due to the fact that so many immigrants heading to America naturally landed in New York Harbor, well before the federal government set up an official immigration system on Ellis Island. At first, the city itself set up its own immigration registration center in Castle Garden near the site of the original Fort Amsterdam, and naturally, many of these immigrants, who were arriving with little more than the clothes on their back, didn't travel far and thus remained in New York. Of course, the addition of so many immigrants and others with less money put strains on the quality of life. Between 1862 and 1872, the number of tenements had risen from 12,000 to 20,000; the number of tenement residents grew from 380,000 to 600,000. One notorious tenement on the East River, Gotham Court, housed 700 people on a 20-by-200-foot lot. Another on the West Side was home, incredibly, to 3,000 residents, who made use of hundreds of privies dug into a 15-foot-wide inner court. Squalid, dark, crowded, and dangerous, tenement living created dreadful health and social conditions. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: William Crockett.
