  The First Triumvirate of Rome: Julius Caesar, Marcus Licinius Crassus, Gnaeus Pompey Magnus, and the Fall of the Roman Republic , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 227min

  The first century BC was a watershed for the development of the Roman state. It was a century characterized by near-incessant warfare and political strife in Rome, evidence that a new form of government was necessary to rule over its new extensive conquests. It was becoming apparent to the traditional ruling elite that the ancient military superpower was beginning to undergo an uneasy transition from republic to imperial power. Central in this change were the actions of the First Triumvirate: an alliance between the most powerful men in Rome. The Triumvirate was composed of Gnaeus Pompey Magnus, Marcus Licinius Crassus, and Gaius Julius Caesar, and together these individuals combined their vast political influence to reduce the Roman Senate to a mere charade. Together, they eked out a place for themselves at the head of the Roman state. Through their efforts, Gaul, Spain and Syria came firmly into the Roman fold. However, like all things true to the Roman Republic, the First Triumvirate was not invulnerable to outside coercion and manipulation. Soon, it too began to show signs of corruption, and each man started to suspect the other of looming betrayal. These misgivings would seep through the alliance until the poison had successfully turned the members of the First Triumvirate against one another. The political tension, and the ensuing war, would fundamentally alter the very fabric of the Roman state forever. From the chaos of the Triumvirate, a new form of government would take root: the Roman monarchy we now know as the Empire. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Saethon Williams.

  As a boy, he spied for Sherlock Holmes. As a man, he must save the empire. London, 1909: the British Empire seems invulnerable. But Captain Vernon Kell, head of counterintelligence at the War Office, knows better. In Russia, revolution; in Germany, an arms race; in London, the streets are alive with foreign terrorists. Kell wants to set up a Secret Service, but to convince his political masters, he needs proof of a threat - and to find that, he needs an agent he can trust. The playing fields of Eton may produce good officers but not men who can work undercover in a munitions factory that appears to be leaking secrets to the Germans. Kell needs Wiggins. Trained as a child by Kell's old friend Sherlock Holmes - he led a gang of urchin investigators known as the Baker Street Irregulars - Wiggins is an ex-soldier with an expert line in deduction and the cunning of a born street fighter. 'The best,' says Holmes. Wiggins turns down the job - he 'don't do official'. But when his best friend is killed by Russian anarchists, Wiggins sees that the role of secret agent could take him towards his sworn revenge. Tracking the Russian gang, Wiggins meets a mysterious beauty called Bela, who saves his life. Working for Kell, he begins to unravel a conspiracy that reaches far beyond the munitions factory. Fast paced, action packed, full of twists and violent, sometimes poignant shocks, The Irregular: A Different Class of Spy marks the arrival of a brilliant new writer. ungekürzt. Language: English.

  Affective Health and Masculinities in South Africa: An Ethnography of (In)vulnerability (Routledge Studies in Health and Medical Anthropology) , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 493min

  Why are behaviors associated with masculinity increasing the risk of illness, injury, and premature death among young men? What makes these men vulnerable to substance misuse, interpersonal violence, and suicide? How can recovery look like? This book draws on more than eight years of recurrent ethnographic fieldwork in urban South Africa to answer these globally urgent questions from a systems perspective.Anthropologist Hans Reihling vividly shows that regardless of social and cultural differences, men may have something in common: their struggles to become invulnerable individuals increase their vulnerability. With a focus on three male protagonists living in very distinct urban areas of Cape Town, this in-depth study shows how intractability, sharpness, and daring disrupt relationships and lead to moral breakdowns. Reihling’s critical insight is that these breakdowns have a history and often result from the rise of modern individualism rather than traditional patriarchy that has become a cliché in mainstream gender studies. He conceptualizes affective health as a balancing act between autonomy and connectivity, arguing that after the racist regime of apartheid, this balance has become compromised through the imperative of self-reliance.This book provides a rare perspective on young men’s vulnerability in everyday life that may affect the listener and spark discussion about how masculinities in relationships shape physical and psychological health. Moreover, it shows how men change in the face of distress through religious healing practices and modern psychiatry. The making of "new" men may nevertheless look different than global health and gender transformative development programs envision. Thick descriptions of actual events over time make this ethnographic account not merely an exercise in intellectual digestion but an affective experience that can be enjoyed. ungekürzt.

  The Doolittle Raid: The History and Legacy of the First American Attack on Tokyo During World War II , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 87min

  The Japanese people had been told they were invulnerable... An attack on the Japanese homeland would cause confusion in the minds of the Japanese people and sow doubt about the reliability of their leaders. There was a second, and equally important, psychological reason for this attack ... Americans badly needed a morale boost. (Jimmy Doolittle) All Americans are familiar with the "day that will live in infamy." At 9:30 a.m. on Sunday, December 7, 1941, Pearl Harbor, the advanced base of the United States Navy's Pacific Fleet, was ablaze. It had been smashed by aircraft launched by the carriers of the Imperial Japanese Navy. All eight battleships had been sunk or badly damaged, 350 aircraft had been knocked out, and over 2,000 Americans lay dead. Indelible images of the USS Arizona exploding and the USS Oklahoma capsizing and floating upside down have been ingrained in the American conscience ever since. In less than an hour and a half the Japanese had almost wiped out America's entire naval presence in the Pacific. The Americans would turn the war in the Pacific around in the middle of 1942, but in the wake of Pearl Harbor and the Japanese invasion of the Philippines, the country was in desperate need of a morale boost, and it would come in the form of the Doolittle Raid. In part to show that the Japanese were not invincible, and in part to reassure the American public that the nation would not lose the war, the Doolittle Raid included both Army and Navy units that launched 16 land-based medium bombers from an aircraft carrier, a feat that was the first of its kind but also one involving a great deal of risk. ungekürzt.

  Operation Relentless: The Hunt for the Richest, Deadliest Criminal in History , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 679min

  The new best-seller from the author of Zero Six Bravo. By 2007 Viktor Bout had become the world's foremost arms dealer. Known as the 'Merchant of Death' he was both "Public Enemy No. 1" to the global intelligence agencies and a ruthless criminal worth around six billion dollars. For years Bout had eluded capture, meanwhile building up a labyrinthine network of airlines selling weapons to order to dictators, rebels, despots and terror groups worldwide. He was hunted by the CIA, NSA, MI6, as well sought by the United Nations for being their top global sanctions buster. Holed up in Moscow - from where he ran a suite of offices selling anything from AK47s to state-of-the-art helicopter gunships and anti-aircraft missiles - he was shielded by a Russian state that was a partner in his dark dealings. In short, Bout appeared utterly invulnerable and beyond any hope of capture. Step forward former SAS man Mike Snow. After serving in the Regiment, Snow had worked as a bush pilot in Africa, where he'd got to know Bout well. Via its own secretive, shadow network, Snow was approached by the US DEA, the Drugs Enforcement Agency. The DEA agents had one question for him: was Snow able to get to Viktor Bout? This is the incredible tale of Operation Relentless, the top-secret mission that Snow and a handful of DEA operatives launched to entrap Viktor Bout - a story that ranges from the steamy jungles of Colombia to the ice-bound streets of Moscow, and from horrific bloodshed and tyranny in the Congo, to a snatch operation like no other. It may read like an implausible thriller, but every word of Operation Relentless is true. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Greg Wagland.

  Narcissistic Abuse: Secrets and Answers About Narcissism to Find Out the Recovery of Your Relationship - A Helpful Guide to Be Codependent No More , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 194min

  If you are interested in the topic of narcissistic abuse, you are probably dealing with a narcissist or experiencing a codependent relationship, and this is causing you problems.You are in a relationship that does not make you feel good despite many efforts, or you are ready to go out from a toxic relationship but don't know how to do it and feel trapped. Whatever the reason, it means that it is time to do something and take control of the situation before it is too late.Dealing with a narcissist or living a relationship of emotional dependence is something devastating. In the beginning, everything is perfect. People live their romantic story - a one-of-a-kind fairy tale. It seems almost impossible that it happened to us, but after a while, something cracks, and we think we have misunderstood, so we look for a logical explanation. Narcissism is the scourge of this era. It destroys sufferers' self-esteem, self-confidence, and rationality because of the endured brainwashing. Emotional dependence - that strange mixture of love, suffering, and conflict that characterizes many individuals and couples' sentimental life - continues to be the disorder of the affection of the century. A very high number of women devastated in their soul from desires, frustrations, and conflicts suffer it in a very obvious way. But, in a more silent way, a number of men, unaware of their state suffer it, too. That's because of the erroneous contemporary culture that describes them as sentimental, invulnerable human beings or addicted to feminine violence.This audiobook explains the nature of the disorder and what narcissism and codependency are. It identifies the phases of emotional dependence, outlining strategies aimed at interrupting the vicious circles of the relationship with the narcissist to run for our life. In this audiobook, the author also describes what it means to be emotional addicted. Emotional addiction means relying on your partner to lav ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Tailynn. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/184556/bk_acx0_184556_sample.mp3.

  American Legends: The Life of Montgomery Clift , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 66min

  A lot of ink has been spilled covering the lives of history's most influential figures, but how much of the forest is lost for the trees? In Charles River Editors' American Legends series, listeners can get caught up to speed on the lives of America's most important men and women in the time it takes to finish a commute, while learning interesting facts long forgotten or never known. In the World War II and post-war era, the figure of the male hero who was previously presented as an invulnerable, single-minded, and to a larger degree monolithic and unknowable warrior, began to develop into a more multi-faceted and intriguing character in the most important Hollywood films. This was to signal, and in a sense impel the same change in American society that has always mirrored itself after its cinematic models. Much like the era of Austen and the Bronte sisters, the American hero softened to resemble the older British one, vulnerable and uncertain, but still passionate and determined. In Edward Montgomery Clift, the public not only discovered an unusually gifted actor, but a persistent and stoical anti-authoritarian, an extreme non-conformist in a conformist age and a personal enigma who has remained the target of prying Hollywood reporting since his death. Described as the first "method" actor in Hollywood, he was to co-create and develop this lonely, unwilling, and uncertain American hero, filled with deep personal ambiguities, a conflicting will, vulnerable and sensitive. In his eventual arrival to Hollywood following a lengthy period of resistance, he not only embodied this new male model, but inspired the next generation of fascinating characters who didn't "fit in", such as friends Marlon Brando and James Dean. He added to this screen persona a sexual dualism that, while not apparent on the surface, changed the way leading men were perceived by the late 1940s. A first-rate stage actor, Clift approached Hollywood on his own terms, and p ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Scott Clem.
