The Weimar Republic: The History of Germany After World War I Before the Rise of the Nazi Party , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 112min
The Weimar Republic has become a byword for a failed, tragic, political experiment. The official period of its existence, 1919-1933, marked the interwar years in Germany and their related uncertainty, chaos, and the state’s ultimate collapse. Historians have found the roots of Nazism embedded in the Weimar years and that in the final analysis, Weimar politicians voluntarily handed over power to the man who wrought destruction on an epic scale, Adolf Hitler. Yet, the Weimar era encapsulated a number of trends and fissures within German society, as well as the international community. The Weimar Republic was a prisoner of events and, in the long run, had little power to shape them. Historians are fond of interpreting the past as a tension between human agency, that is to say decision-making, and structural developments that evade individual choices. Both these interpretations are crucial when examining the tumultuous years of Germany’s Weimar Republic. The early 1930s were a tumultuous period for German politics, even in comparison to the ongoing transition to the modern era that caused various forms of chaos throughout the rest of the world. In the United States, reliance on the outdated gold standard and an absurdly parsimonious monetary policy helped bring about the Great Depression. Meanwhile, the Empire of Japan began its ultimately fatal adventurism with the invasion of Manchuria, alienating the rest of the world with the atrocities it committed. Around the same time, Gandhi began his drive for the peaceful independence of India through nonviolent protests against the British. It was in Germany, however, that the strongest seeds of future tragedy were sown. The struggling Weimar Republic had become a breeding ground for extremist politics, including two opposed and powerful authoritarian entities: the right-wing National Socialists and the left-wing KPD Communist Party. As the 1930s dawned, these two totalitarian groups held one another i ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Dan Gallagher.

The Dirty Book Club , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 492min
From the author of the number one New York Times best-selling series The Clique comes Lisi Harrison's debut adult novel about four modern-day strangers who inherit a dirty book club that was started in the 1960s. M. J. Stark's life is picture-perfect - she has a dream job as a magazine editor, a sexy doctor boyfriend, and a glamorous life in Manhattan. But behind her success, she can't shake a deep sense of loneliness. So when her boyfriend offers her a completely new life in California after a promotion does not go her way, she decides to give it try. Once there, M. J. is left to fend for herself in a small California beach town, with only the company of her elderly neighbor, Gloria. One day M. J. receives a mysterious invitation and a copy of Prim: A Modern Woman's Guide to Manners. She recognizes the book as an outdated classic, but when she opens it, she discovers that it's actually a copy of Fear of Flying by Erica Jong, and the invitation is to join Gloria's secret book club - one that reads only erotic books. Out of curiosity, M. J. goes to the meeting at a local bookstore and discovers three other women who have also been selected by the club's original members - who have suddenly left the country to honor a 50-year-old pact. As these unlikely friends bond over naughty best sellers, each woman shares not only the intimate details of her own sex life but all areas of her life. Inspired by the characters in the novels they read - and the notes passed down by the club's original members - the new members of The Dirty Book Club help each other find the courage to rewrite their own stories and risk it all for a happy ending. ungekürzt.

The Mezquita and Medina Azahara: The History and Legacy of the Moors’ Most Famous Landmarks in Córdoba, Spain , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 169min
The Calle Cardenal Herrero in Córdoba is an iconic cobbled street impossible to overlook, for it is home to the Andalusian city's spectacular Mosque-Cathedral. Also known as “La Mezquita”, this one-of-a-kind Moorish and Christian place of worship reels in about 1.5 million visitors each year, most of whom find themselves spellbound by its hypnotic architectural features and the riveting history that has transpired and continues to within the beautifully weathered walls of the dual-church. That said, the Mezquita is far more than a mere tourist attraction - in recent years, the Mosque-Cathedral of Córdoba has become the crux of a complicated religious conflict resurrected by impassioned worshipers and patriotic locals who fear not only for the future of its legacy, but the preservation of its true history. It is easy for those on the outside looking in to make hasty judgments about the ongoing dispute, considering the endless amount of information that is uploaded online by the second. The contentious debates surrounding the Mezquita are often products of outdated prejudices, festering distrust, and whitewashing, all of which make it harder for the Mezquita to remain a nondiscriminatory space serviceable to and appreciated by everyone today. Love, as they often say, is best expressed through meaningful actions, as opposed to syrupy words and hollow promises. To pragmatists, it's the smaller things that make the biggest splash, while hopeless romantics may take it upon themselves to go the extra mile. Apart from showering their better halves with trips abroad to bucket-list destinations and mountains of extravagant gifts, the wealthy might organize benefits and galas and make handsome donations to a cause that deeply resonates with their loved one. Whereas most would deem the tokens of affection exchanged by celebrity power couples to be sweet but inordinately excessive, many of those who pine after storybook romances are especially enamored of ungekürzt.

Hydroponics: How to Start Your Own Hydroponic Garden and Grow Vegetables, Herbs and Fruit , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 80min
Hydroponics has never been easier. This audiobook contains information on the what and why of growing your foods without soil! Hydroponics has been used in commercial farming for decades, but many home gardeners still rely on the whims of soil for their plants. Not only is this outdated, it can also be extremely expensive! Why waste your money on soil when there's a much better choice? Hydroponics is better for your plants and will help you grow more; it even works in small spaces and indoors.

To be successful with it, you need to know how plants grow and how to spot common problems unique to the method. A hydroponic garden is not only fruitful, it's also a far more interesting way to work. Your friends and family will be amazed by what appears to be a magical system to grow your own foods without soil. Learn all you need to know to get started, even if you're just planning on testing it out with some strawberries. This book is for you. It's packed with information such as pest control, different mediums, and why hydroponic methods will work for almost any crop. Within this audiobook you'll find the answers to these questions and more: What is hydroponics? What are the advantages of hydroponics? What are the types of hydroponic systems? What do I need to know about plant nutrition? How do plants grow? What are hydroponic mediums? Why do plants need light? What are some pests and tests? ungekürzt. Language: English.

Originals
The #1 New York Times bestseller that examines how people can champion new ideas in their careers and everyday life-and how leaders can fight groupthink, from the author of Think Again and co-author of Option B "Filled with fresh insights on a broad array of topics that are important to our personal and professional lives."-The New York Times DealBook "Originals is one of the most important and captivating books I have ever read, full of surprising and powerful ideas. It will not only change the way you see the world; it might just change the way you live your life. And it could very well inspire you to change your world." -Sheryl Sandberg, COO of Facebook and author of Lean In With Give and Take, Adam Grant not only introduced a landmark new paradigm for success but also established himself as one of his generation's most compelling and provocative thought leaders. In Originals he again addresses the challenge of improving the world, but now from the perspective of becoming original: choosing to champion novel ideas and values that go against the grain, battle conformity, and buck outdated traditions. How can we originate new ideas, policies, and practices without risking it all? Using surprising studies and stories spanning business, politics, sports, and entertainment, Grant explores how to recognize a good idea, speak up without getting silenced, build a coalition of allies, choose the right time to act, and manage fear and doubt; how parents and teachers can nurture originality in children; and how leaders can build cultures that welcome dissent. Learn from an entrepreneur who pitches his start-ups by highlighting the reasons not to invest, a woman at Apple who challenged Steve Jobs from three levels below, an analyst who overturned the rule of secrecy at the CIA, a billionaire financial wizard who fires employees for failing to criticize him, and a TV executive who didn't even work in comedy but saved Seinfeld from the cutting-room floor. The payoff is a set of groundbreaking insights about rejecting conformity and improving the status quo.- Shop: buecher
