Champions Way: Football, Florida, and the Lost Soul of College Sports , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 397min

Champions Way is a searing exposé of how the multibillion-dollar college sports empire fails universities, students, and athletes. College sports have never been bigger. Once a roughneck intercollegiate pastime, football now commands millions of fans and generates massive revenues. New York Times investigative reporter Mike McIntire chronicles the rise in the popularity and power of college athletics, revealing deeply troubling relationships between college sports programs, the universities that host them, booster organizations, local police departments, and the courts. Using the Florida State Seminoles, one of the most successful teams in NCAA history, as an example, McIntire details a system that exploits athletes for profit, enables players to violate academic standards, and, in some cases, shields them from criminal prosecution. At the heart of Champions Way is the wrenching story of a whistle-blower, Christie Suggs. This shocking exposé reveals the extent of a corrupt culture at the center of American higher education and the toll it takes on the players and those who dare to challenge the system. ungekürzt.

Fighting Marines: Hardy's Challenge , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 284min

The year is 1812 and newly commissioned First Lieutenant Thomas Hardy is ordered on patrol in the lawless region of East Florida. Spain still has claim to all of Florida, the British intend to re-take it, escaped slaves and the Seminoles want to create their own country, and plantation owners and farmers want to be annexed to the United States. Hardy and his few marines are ordered into the middle to fight bastards and renegades and stop smugglers. He has enemies and spies on all sides as he hacks, cuts, and fights his way through swamps and plantations.Near Twelve Mile Swamp, Captain Williams and his small group of Marines are attacked by a force of 200 while escorting supplies. Captain Williams is wounded eight times, and if not for Hardy’s daring intervention, all would have perished. The Marines are surrounded and outnumbered three to one. It is up to Hardy to defend and defeat the forces arrayed against him. History records how East Florida and West Florida became independent nations before becoming a state in the Republic of the United States. There are heroes and villains, greedy men and patriots who fought and died. The United States Marines played a pivotal role in the history of Florida and there was none so valiant as Captain John Williams. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Ben Eastman.

An Indigenous Peoples' History of the United States

New York Times BestsellerNow part of the HBO docuseries "Exterminate All the Brutes," written and directed by Raoul PeckRecipient of the American Book AwardThe first history of the United States told from the perspective of indigenous peoplesToday in the United States, there are more than five hundred federally recognized Indigenous nations comprising nearly three million people, descendants of the fifteen million Native people who once inhabited this land. The centuries-long genocidal program of the US settler-colonial regimen has largely been omitted from history. Now, for the first time, acclaimed historian and activist Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz offers a history of the United States told from the perspective of Indigenous peoples and reveals how Native Americans, for centuries, actively resisted expansion of the US empire.With growing support for movements such as the campaign to abolish Columbus Day and replace it with Indigenous Peoples Day and the Dakota Access Pipeline protest led by the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe, An Indigenous Peoples History of the United States is an essential resource providing historical threads that are crucial for understanding the present. In An Indigenous Peoples History of the United States, Dunbar-Ortiz adroitly challenges the founding myth of the United States and shows how policy against the Indigenous peoples was colonialist and designed to seize the territories of the original inhabitants, displacing or eliminating them. And as Dunbar-Ortiz reveals, this policy was praised in popular culture, through writers like James Fenimore Cooper and Walt Whitman, and in the highest offices of government and the military. Shockingly, as the genocidal policy reached its zenith under President Andrew Jackson, its ruthlessness was best articulated by US Army general Thomas S. Jesup, who, in 1836, wrote of the Seminoles: The country can be rid of them only by exterminating them. Spanning more than four hundred years, this classic bottom-up peoples history radically reframes US history and explodes the silences that have haunted our national narrative.An Indigenous Peoples' History of the United States is a 2015 PEN Oakland-Josephine Miles Award for Excellence in Literature.
