    Boston Blackie, Vol. 2, Hörbuch, Digital, 329min
    Here are original broadcasts of the old-time radio show featuring amateur detective Boston Blackie. Created by author Jack Boyle, Boston Blackie was a master safecracker and hardened criminal who served time in a California prison. Rehabilitated, he decided to use his knowledge of the underworld to fight crime as an amateur detective. Known as "an enemy to those who make him an enemy, friend to those who have no friend", Boston Blackie's exploits were adapted to film, radio, and television. While investigating cases, Blackie would invariably encounter harebrained Police Inspector Faraday and always solve the crime before Faraday could. The initial friction between Blackie and Faraday gave way as the series continued and Faraday came to recognize Blackie's talents, occasionally even requesting his assistance. Blackie dated Mary Wesley, and for the first half of the series his best pal, Shorty, was on hand. Boston Blackie is played by Richard Kollmar in these 12 exciting episodes, which aired between December 1946 and March 1947: "Mary, Registered Nurse", "Police Impersonator", "The Derailed Gold Train", "Carl Browning Cleaning Shop", "The Search for Jim Gary", "Jacques Pierre and the Diamonds", "Seven Years' Bad Luck for Florence Wells", "Joe Delivers the Goods", "Larry 'The Kid' vs. Savinni", "The Tenth Street Gym and the Stolen Car Ring", "Sam Fisher's Past", and "The Horseroom Thefts of Boston Blackie".

    Say You'll Remember Me , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 684min
    Doesn't matter who did it. Not anymore. I did the time. It's over. When Drix was convicted of a crime - one he didn't commit - he thought his life was over. But opportunity came with the Second Chance Program, the governor's newest pet project to get delinquents off the streets, rehabilitated, and back into society. Drix knows this is his chance to get his life back on track, even if it means being paraded in front of reporters for a while. Elle knows she lives a life of privilege. As the governor's daughter, she can open doors with her name alone. But the expectations and pressure to be someone she isn't may be too much to handle. She wants to follow her own path, whatever that means. When Drix and Elle meet, their connection is immediate, but so are their problems. Drix is not the type of boy Elle's parents have in mind for her, and Elle is not the kind of girl who can understand Drix's messy life. But sometimes love can breach all barriers. Fighting against a society that can't imagine them together, Drix and Elle must push themselves - Drix to confront the truth of the robbery and Elle to assert her independence - and each other to finally get what they deserve. ungekürzt.

    Richard Nixon: A Life from Beginning to End , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 64min
    He’s the president with the asterisk by his name: Richard Milhous Nixon, the only US president to resign from office. But Richard Nixon’s legacy to the history of the US is much more complicated than the scandal of Watergate. His is the classic story of American legend - a young man who rose from his humble roots to achieve power and influence.   This audiobook will teach you about: The “Have-Not” Nixon  Nixon rising Vice President The Election of 1960 President at last Watergate Nixon in disgrace Much more  Nixon's story has tinges of Horatio Alger, but also of Machiavelli, and that may be the enigma of him, the student who was offered scholarships to Ivy League schools but couldn’t afford to go there, forever embedding within him the resentment against his political opponents, such as John F. Kennedy. Nixon was the politician who helped to bring the Republican Party back into power after the Roosevelt years, but who didn’t shy away from “dirty tricks” in order to win election. He was the dogged, diligent candidate who had his facts in order, but couldn’t compete on television with the telegenic JFK, the anti-communist who negotiated treaties with the Soviet Union and opened the door to China, the president who experienced abuse during the Watergate investigation, and the rehabilitated elder statesmen of American politics in the post-Watergate years.  Was Nixon a villain or a hero? Meet the president whose personality consisted of conflicting layers of pragmatism, patriotism, and self-doubt, which caused a fall from grace that roiled American democracy. ungekürzt.

    Die Verjährung im österreichischen Strafrecht
    Die Verjährung im Strafrecht erschwert und verhindert die Aufarbeitung von systemischem Unrecht. In Österreich wurde sie bewusst eingesetzt, um die NS-Verbrechen nicht verfolgen zu müssen. Dieser Band widmet sich der Entwicklung und den theoretischen Grundlagen des Gedankens der Straffreiheit durch Zeitablauf. Sarah Stutzenstein untersucht das Verhältnis der verschiedenen Strafzwecktheorien zur Begründung der Verjährung. Des Weiteren betrachtet sie die Auswirkungen, die die Verjährung auf die Aufarbeitung von systemischem Unrecht, wie die NS-Verbrechen, die Verbrechen an den Heimkindern sowie die der #metoo-Debatte zugrundeliegenden Straftaten in Österreich hatten. Reformüberlegungen, um general- und spezialpräventive Zielsetzungen im Bereich der Verjährung besser zu vereinbaren und bestehende Wertungswidersprüche auszugleichen, bilden den rechtspolitischen Abschluss der Untersuchung.This book is concerned with the development and theoretical foundations of atemporal limit to criminal prosecution und punishment in the area of present-day Austria. It examines the relationship between the various theories on the purpose of criminal justice and the justification of periods of limitation. Another aspect of the research focuses on the effects that the limitation periods have had on the social and legal reappraisal of systemic injustice, such as the Nazi crimes and the crimes against children in children's homes, as well as the crimes underlying the #metoo debate in Austria. Reform considerations to better reconcile the interests of victims, rehabilitated offenders and society form the conclusion of the study.

    Why They Stay: Sex Scandals, Deals, and Hidden Agendas of Nine Political Wives , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 506min
    Why They Stay explores the reasoning and motivation of wives who stay with their politician-husbands after they cheat. Hillary Clinton couldn't have known in 1998 how her husband's high-profile philandering would play out. Would he be rehabilitated in the public eye? She took the gamble. Had she left the marriage, today she might be the spurned wife of a retired politician instead of the first American woman to run for president on a major party ticket. Looking back on the path chosen by the nine political wives profiled in this book, we have the evidence to see a pattern as old as the dynastic maneuverings of England's medieval queens. The women married to the "royalty" of our times, politicians, make similar cold calculations in order to hold onto their "thrones" and their family's history-making potential. After covering politicians for decades, acclaimed columnist Anne Michaud switched her gaze to the women behind the cheating men. Drawing from multiple sources that span the Roosevelts' marriage to the more recent scandal involving Hillary Clinton's closest aide Huma Abedin (wife of sexter Anthony Weiner), Why They Stay: Sex Scandals, Deals, and Hidden Agendas of Nine Political Wives argues that when it comes to the "power behind the throne", women in the limelight weigh the risks and rewards. They remain loyal to their men, because of complex, often unconscious forces. From mapping a path to power to laudable notions of holding the family together, Michaud examines the uniquely challenging Faustian bargains that political wives grapple with, even as the public spotlight illuminates their every move. ungekürzt.

    Romulus and Rogue are powerful lion shifters who get sent in when other shifters break the age-old rules established by the Oracle. A few hundred years as partners have had the men searching for a mate from time to time. Only two women in those years earned their attention, but the danger that comes with being their mate was a thing they couldn't take and left the shifters before consummating the mating rituals. Cassie is a good Samaritan who loves animals, both wild and tame. She heads into a Louisiana forest near New Orleans to release a mother bobcat and her cub she rehabilitated after a car broke the mother's legs. Unfortunately, night falls before she gets back out of the forest, and she left her flashlight in her SUV. Accidentally losing her way out of the dark forest, she ends up right in the middle of a vampire and werewolf fight. One sneeze has them on her and arguing over which group of monsters gets to kill her. Romulus and Rogue enter the forest to take care of the vampire and werewolf problem, only to find they have a mortal, young woman captured. The lion shifters take the curvy woman with them and quickly find her to their liking. An offer of eternal life and a special power that resides inside her is promised, but she has to agree to be their mate for life. That comes along with a huge risk, which will threaten the trio's lives. Each book in the My Sweet Lions series can be heard as a standalone and has a guaranteed HEA, no cliffhanger! ungekürzt.

    How to Handle Cowards, Thieves, Liars and Manipulators Without Breaking the Law , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 97min
    Do you know people who lie, steal, and manipulate? Does their behavior infuriate you so much that you feel as if you want to cause them physical harm because you simply can't understand why they choose to behave in this way? If you have answered yes to any of these questions, you have come to the right place. Not only are you going to learn about some of the underlying root causes behind these negative behavior traits, you will also learn how to handle them. The perception is that individuals who are difficult to deal with are just that way inclined, they were just born with the bitter gene, but this couldn't be further from the truth. Everyone is a product of their environment and if you delve into the background of some of the most frustrating people, you will find that they have been through some pretty traumatic stuff. Empathy and compassion is a much more effective correctional tool than outright punishment. I think that the world would be a better place if this was to be administered in the courtrooms as opposed to sending hordes of people who have not been rehabilitated to prison; anyway that's another book in itself! The focus here is to teach you how to handle people in your life with negative character traits. You will be surprised at the lives that you manage to transform simply by taking a different approach to the way you treat them even when they have committed an offense towards you. In this book you will learn how to handle cowards, thieves, liars, and manipulators without breaking the law. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Jim D Johnston.

    The Long Prison Journey of Leslie van Houten: Life Beyond the Cult , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 431min
    At the age of 21, Leslie van Houten was sentenced to death, along with Charles Manson and his other disciples, for the infamous murder rampage spanning two nights in August 1969. Leslie, who had been present at the Rosemary and Leno LaBianca stabbings, serenely accepted her sentence, wishing only that she had better served Manson in carrying out his apocalyptic vision of "Helter Skelter". When the United States temporarily suspended its death penalty, her sentence for murder conspiracy was converted to life in prison. Today, at the age of 51, after three trials and with no parole in sight, Leslie has become a remarkable survivor of a living nightmare. This work presents the first in-depth look at how this "girl next door" became one of Manson's "girls". It also tells about Karlene Faith's 30-year friendship with Leslie, whom she met while teaching in prison. To everyone who encountered Leslie - including prison staff and television journalists - she was not the demon typically portrayed by the media but rather a gentle, generous spirit who mourned her victims. But why didn't this intelligent young woman see the evil in the "messiah" who had sexually exploited her, preached a racist ideology, and ordered her to murder? Faith pieces together the puzzle, starting with Leslie's spiritual quest within the '60s counterculture and her immediate attraction to Manson during a chance meeting. We learn of Manson's ability to look into her mind and commiserate with her turmoil. We also see his own need to control women and how his brainwashing techniques enabled his followers to embrace him as God, giving them little choice but to obey. Leslie's journey out of Manson's grasp is a riveting feminist and spiritual story of recovering one's self. Why this rehabilitated woman, long punished for one man's madness, has not been able to leave prison is another story Faith brings to light. Filled with accounts of political injustices, this powerful bo ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Gabra Zackman.
