Corporations Are Not People: Reclaiming Democracy from Big Money and Global Corporations , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 393min
Since the Supreme Court's Citizens United ruling that the rights of things--money and corporations--matter more than the rights of people, America has faced a crisis of democracy. In this timely and thoroughly updated second edition, Jeff Clements describes the strange history of this bizarre ruling, its ongoing destructive effects, and the growing movement to reverse it. He includes a new chapter, "Do Something!", showing how--state by state and community by community--Americans are using creative strategies and tools to renew democracy and curb unbalanced corporate power. Since the first edition, 16 states, 160 members of Congress, and 500 cities and towns have called for a constitutional amendment to overturn Citizens United, and the list is growing. This is a fight we can win! ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Oliver Wyman. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/adbl/020744/bk_adbl_020744_sample.mp3.

Flipped (eBook, ePUB)
The untold story of the unlikely heroes, the cutthroat politics, and the cultural forces that turned a deep South state blue-by a top reporter at The Atlanta Journal-Constitution Flipped promises to be the definitive account of how the election of Raphael Warnock and Jon Ossoff transformed Georgia from one of the staunchest Republican strongholds to the nation's most watched battleground state-and ground zero for the disinformation wars certain to plague statewide and national elections in the future. The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reporter Greg Bluestein charts how progressive activists and organizers worked to help register hundreds of thousands of new voters and how Biden's victory in Georgia may inform Democratic strategy for years to come. He will also chronicle how Georgia's Republicans countered with a move to the far right that culminated in key state leaders defying Trump's demands to overturn his defeat. Bluestein has interviewed all the key figures in this election, including Stacey Abrams, Brian Kemp, Jon Ossoff, Raphael Warnock, and Kelly Loeffler, as well as their aides and operatives. Flipped will also feature such incredible characters as political activist turned U.S. Congresswoman Nikema Williams; perma-tanned baseball star turned lieutenant governor Geoff Duncan; and fast-talking New York strategist Jaclyn Rothenberg, who helped lead Biden's triumphant Georgia campaign. This gripping narrative is framed within the cultural and political history of the Peach State. Flipped tells a story that will resonate through the rest of the decade and beyond, as most political experts see Georgia headed toward years of close elections, and Democrats have developed a deep bench of strong candidates to challenge entrenched Republicans. There will be even more interest in the state going forward, when Stacey Abrams mounts a likely rematch against Governor Brian Kemp in 2022, seeking to be the first Black female governor elected in the nation's history. Pro-Trump forces threaten to muster their own challenges against Kemp and others who stood against the president's attempts to overturn the election, making Georgia ground zero for the fight over the soul of the Republican party-and, by extension, Trump's political legacy.- Shop: buecher

Britain and Danubian Europe in the Era of World War II, 1933-1941
This book is a study of British official attitudes towards the Danubian countries (Hungary, Czechoslovakia, Romania and Yugoslavia) from Hitler's rise to power in 1933 to the year 1941, a period that marked serious but fruitless British political and economic efforts to unite this unruly part of Europe against Nazi ascendancy. Set against an international backdrop of regional revanchist, revisionist and irredentist tendencies, particularly in Hungary and Bulgaria, the book explores how these movements affected international relations in the region as they aimed to overturn the territorial order set down in Versailles following the Great War to restore the status quo of a more glorious national past. Offering fresh insights into the British-East Central and South East European relationship, the book charts the shifts in British official policy towards Danubian Europe, amidst competing regional nationalisms and the sudden and abrupt shifts in British global priorities during the early part of World War II.- Shop: buecher

Belle: The Daughters of Allamont Hall, Book 2 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 440min
A traditional Regency romance, drawing room rather than bedroom. Belle is the plain one of the six Allamont sisters, happy with her books. When their father dies suddenly, his will leaves large dowries for his six daughters, but only if they marry in the proper order, the eldest first. With Amy betrothed, now Belle must find a husband. Reluctant to parade herself at balls and card parties, she intends to accept the offer of her cousin, James, a pragmatic but loveless choice on both sides. Mr. Burford is the village curate, enchantedly in love with the youngest Allamont sister, Hope. His income is not enough to support a wife, but he is content to wait, perhaps for years, before he dares to contemplate a betrothal.
