Troilus and Cressida: Arkangel Shakespeare, Hörbuch, Digital, 184min
Lust poses as love and ambition as patriotism in this dark and brilliant play depicting the heroic action of the Trojan War. Troy is besieged by the invading Greeks, but the young Trojan prince Troilus can think only of his love for Cressida. Her uncle Pandarus brings the two together, but after only one night news comes that Cressida must be sent to the enemy camp. There, as Troilus looks on, she yields to the wooing of the Greek Diomedes. The tragic story is undercut by the commentary of Thersites, who provides a cynical chorus. Language: English.

Never Say "Moist" at Wyndover College , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 382min
The war of words at Wyndover College begins with a single shot: a taboo placed on the word “moist” to placate a first-year student who finds the word repulsive. But then, things escalate when an anonymous voice of opposition takes on the college’s strongly pro-student president and his latest innovative program to keep students happy. As the initially well-received “Word-Free” program gains traction, it divides the college. The enthusiastic mid-level official charged with implementing this concept finds that it’s increasingly difficult to manage, and his efforts are continuously undercut by the imaginative opposition of the Contrarian - a figure who posts creative, snarky messages in a wide range of settings. ungekürzt.

Not a Scientist: How Politicians Mistake, Misrepresent and Utterly Mangle Science , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 398min
An eye-opening tour of the political tricks that subvert scientific progress. In 1980, Ronald Reagan created one of the dumbest talking points of all time: "I'm not a scientist, but..." Since then, politicians have repeatedly committed egregious transgressions against scientific knowledge prefaced by this seemingly innocuous phrase. Yet, as science journalist Dave Levitan reveals, that line is just the tip of the melting iceberg when it comes to rhetorical tools wielded to attack scientific findings that don't cooperate with political agendas. Just listen to Mike Huckabee dismiss climate change as "a sunburn", Donald Trump suggest that vaccines cause autism, or Todd Akin's infamous invention of "legitimate rape". With a taxonomer's eye, Levitan captures and categorizes these deceptions by chapter, assigning delightful names like "The Butter-Up and Undercut", "The Literal Nitpick", "The Straight-Up Fabrication", and many more. His sharp-elbowed humor dismantles our leaders' deceptive arguments while illuminating the real science behind the worst soundbites from our elected non-scientists. ungekürzt. Language: English.

Advice Worth Ignoring: How Tuning Out the Experts Can Make You a Better Parent , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 351min
Dr. Ray identifies 50 of the most common child-related truisms and parenting myths that can often mislead and undercut parents and explains how the virtues of prudence, temperance, and fortitude can help any parent discern the best course of action for his or her family. Parents are encouraged to ask themselves: Does this have merit for our family, with our morals? Does it make sense? Does it align with wisdom confirmed through generations? Covering a range of ages and stages, from the early years ("it's a stage; it will pass") to the teenage years ("don't make your child lie"), this book gives dedicated parents the tools they need to spot the hidden assumptions colored by pop psychology and make parenting choices that are consistent with raising up good Catholic kids. Parents will feel empowered to judge the advice that's right for their own family, regardless of who doles it out. Contains a special section specifically for adoptive parents. ungekürzt.
