Russian Civil War , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 40min
The Russian Civil War is regarded as one of the most important occurrences in the 20th century. There were not one but many reasons that sparked the Civil War in Russia. The event is at times clubbed together with the Great War. The number of people who died in the Russian Civil War was so high that it shadowed the American Civil War. The end of tsars saw different areas of Russia clamoring for independence. Extremism and the arrogance of some swept aside all humanity and raged on Russia and her people. There was situation of complete chaos in Russia. The civil war was between the Red Army and the Whites. Although these two were the main parties who were at war with each other, there were several others who were revolting and fighting against them. The Bolsheviks, or the Red Army, won the war, while the Whites lost. World War I had left deep impacts on all the participating countries, and Russia was not spared. The vitality and enthusiasm with which they entered the war had them suffer many fatalities. Irrespective of the many reasons why the civil war happened, the consequences led to a new government and new thoughts of society and economy. The Bolsheviks wanted to uproot all the social problems that existed in the society because of the differences in class. They did succeed to some extent. Once tsarist rule came to an end, the Communist movement took over, which was frightening. The rule of the Communists did not last long, but its mere existence made it look like one of the important happenings in the 20th century. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Andrea Giordani.

The Humane Economy: How Innovators and Enlightened Consumers Are Transforming the Lives of Animals , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 738min
A major new exploration of the economics of animal exploitation and a practical road map for how we can use the marketplace to promote the welfare of all living creatures from the renowned animal-rights advocate Wayne Pacelle, president and CEO of the Humane Society of the United States and New York Times best-selling author of The Bond. In the mid-19th century, New Bedford, Massachusetts, was the whaling capital of the world. A half gallon of sperm oil cost approximately $1,400 in today's dollars, and whale populations were hunted to near extinction for profit. But with the advent of fossil fuels, the whaling industry collapsed, and today the area around New Bedford is instead known as one of the best places in the world for whale watching. This transformation is emblematic of a new sort of economic revolution, one that has the power to transform the future of animal welfare. In The Humane Economy, Wayne Pacelle, president and CEO of the Humane Society of the United States, explores how our everyday economic decisions impact the survival and well-being of animals and how we can make choices that better support them. Though most of us have never harpooned a sea creature, clubbed a seal, or killed an animal for profit, we are all part of an interconnected web that has a tremendous impact on animal welfare, and the decisions we make - whether supporting local, not industrial, farming; adopting a rescue dog or a shelter animal instead of one from a "puppy mill"; avoiding products that compromise the habitats of wild species; or even seeing Cirque du Soleil instead of Ringling Brothers - do matter. The Humane Economy shows us how what we do every day as consumers can benefit animals, the environment, and human society and why these decisions can make economic sense as well. ungekürzt.

Neighbors: The Destruction of the Jewish Community in Jedwabne, Poland , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 202min
One summer day in 1941, half of the Polish town of Jedwabne murdered the other half, 1,600 men, women, and children, all but seven of the town's Jews. Neighbors tells their story. This is a shocking, brutal story that has never before been told. It is the most important study of Polish-Jewish relations to be published in decades and should become a classic of Holocaust literature. Jan Gross pieces together eyewitness accounts and other evidence into an engulfing reconstruction of the horrific July day remembered well by locals but forgotten by history. His investigation reads like a detective story, and its unfolding yields wider truths about Jewish-Polish relations, the Holocaust, and human responses to occupation and totalitarianism. It is a story of surprises: The newly occupying German army did not compel the massacre, and Jedwabne's Jews and Christians had previously enjoyed cordial relations. After the war, the nearby family who saved Jedwabne's surviving Jews was derided and driven from the area. The single Jew offered mercy by the town declined it. Most arresting is the sinking realization that Jedwabne's Jews were clubbed, drowned, gutted, and burned, not by faceless Nazis but by people whose features and names they knew well: their former schoolmates and those who sold them food, bought their milk, and chatted with them in the street. As much as such a question can ever be answered, Neighbors tells us why. In many ways, this is a simple audiobook. It is easy to listen to in a single sitting, and hard not to. But its simplicity is deceptive. Gross's new and persuasive answers to vexed questions rewrite the history of 20th-century Poland. This audiobook proves, finally, that the fates of Poles and Jews during World War II can be comprehended only together. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Rory Barnett.
