Lord Hawke: A Cricketing Biography , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 494min

Lord Hawke was captain of Cambridge University, Yorkshire, and England in a time when, as A.A. Thomson observed, "there were giants in the land". His era is now lost to us, shrouded by the fog of war and by economic and social revolutions that would beggar the Victorian imagination. That despite everything English cricket not only survives in its traditional form, but thrives, is in no small measure the enduring achievement of three men, three eminent Victorians who devoted the greater part of their lives to cricket, and who largely determined the form in which it has come down to later generations: W.G. Grace, Lord Harris, and Lord Hawke. Tradition has it that W.G. Grace was the ultimate exponent of the game, that Lord Harris was its foremost administrator, and that Lord Hawke was its great exporter. Of Martin Bladen Hawke, seventh Baron Hawke of Towton, Sir Pelham "Plum" Warner was to say "he was the Odysseus of cricket" and that "he was the first to preach the gospel of cricket throughout the Empire". Hawke was an indefatigable organizer and leader of tours to Australasia, North and South America, India and Ceylon, South Africa, and the West Indies. But the exportation of cricket to the dominions was the beginning, rather than the end of his unique contribution to English cricket. The true object of his life’s work was the construction and consolidation of an indestructible cricketing institution; the Yorkshire County Cricket Club. Hawke first captained Yorkshire in the Championship in 1883. Although he nominally retained the captaincy until he formally resigned in favour of E.J. Radcliffe in November 1910, he played his last county match at the end of the 1909 season.The profit and loss account of the Yorkshire captaincy in the serious business of county cricket between 1883 and 1909 tells its own story. Yorkshire won the Championship eight times under Hawke’s stewardship. He was also the man who sacked Bobby ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Jack Folley-Barwise.

History of Germany , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 44min

Located in the heart of Western Europe, Germany borders the Baltic, the Rhine and the Alps from the north, west and south directions respectively. The east of Germany however, has no natural border which has caused much confusion in the history of Europe. It is a sovereign state and has a federal parliamentary republic in the central-western Europe. The largest city and the capital of Germany is Berlin. Germany is also the second most famous human immigration destination after the United States. The northern parts of Germany have been occupied by the Germanic tribes since the ancient times. A certain region called Germania was recognized to be from before AD 100. At the times of migration the Germanic tribes expanded towards the southern parts of Germany. In the advent of the 10th century the central territories of Germany had formed the Holy Roman Empire. Six centuries later the northern parts of Germany became the hub of the Protestant Reformation. Later in the year 1871 many of the German states united with the Prussians to form the German Empire. It was only after the World War I and the German Revolution which took place from 1918-1919 that the German Empire was succeeded by the Weimar Republic. The institution of a dictatorship in the year 1933 was one of the causes of World War II and organized massacre. After a term of Allied occupation, two states, the German Democratic Republic and the Federal Republic of Germany, were founded. It was only in the year 1990 that the country was reunited. Germany is a great power today, and has the world's fourth largest economy. It is a global leader in various technological and industrial sectors along with being the world's third largest importer and exporter of goods. Today Germany has a high standard of living and is known to be a developed country with a productive and skilled society. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Andrea Giordani.

Comeback: America's New Economic Boom , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 286min

Charles R. Morris’s The Trillion Dollar Meltdown (2008) was the first book to warn of the impending financial crash in all its horrific scale and speed. Now, with Comeback, Morris reveals that the United States is on the brink of a strong recovery that could last for twenty years or more. The great economic boom times in American history have come because of fortuitous discoveries. Natural resources (coal first, then oil) fueled vast economic and industrial expansions, which in turn helped create and supply new markets. The last genuine economic game changer was the technology boom of the 1990s, which gave the U.S. a global competitive advantage for a while based on electronics and silicon. One of the first writers and analysts in the U.S. to predict that the tech boom would lead to a period of sustained economic growth was Charles Morris. In defiance of the recessionary times (in 1990), he saw the coming boom. Now, in 2013, he sees the threshold of another. This time the gift is natural gas. The amount and distribution of gas in American shale is so vast that it has the potential to transform the manufacturing economy, creating jobs across the country, and requiring a new infrastructure that will benefit the nation as a whole. Because of fracking, jobs that once would have been outsourced abroad will return home, America can become a net exporter of energy, and cheap energy will provide the opportunity for innovation and competition. In light of this new opportunity, and other complementary developments Morris explores in this book, the U.S. ought to be approaching the future with a robust self-confidence it has not experienced in a while. But we could fumble it away. The gold-rush style of shale boom companies does not make them good neighbors. A counter-reaction could put their industry, and the new era of national prosperity, at risk. We also have a political system that has the capacity to spoil the benefits of this huge bo ungekürzt.
