  Atheist Mind, Humanist Heart: Rewriting the Ten Commandments for the Twenty-First Century , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 336min

  Atheist Mind, Humanist Heart asks an essential question for the 45 million Americans who self-identify as nonreligious: "So, you don't believe in God; now what?" This question is increasingly important, as one-third of young adults under the age of 30 consider themselves nonreligious. With a scientific eye and an empathetic heart, the authors turn conventional perceptions about atheism on their head. They show that atheism need not be reactionary (against religion and God), but rather that it can offer a clear set of constructive principles to live by, which establish atheism as a positive worldview. Following a philosophical approach grounded in logic and evidence, Bayer and Figdor take listeners on an inspiring journey to discover how to live a reasonable, ethical, and happy life without God. The listeners are engaged at every step, encouraged to self-reflect, and ultimately uncover their own set of personal beliefs. PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your My Library section along with the audio. ungekürzt. Language: English.

  The Art of Happiness, Peace & Purpose: Manifesting Magic Part 7: Manifesting Magic Part 7 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 65min

  If you have been dreaming about a better life. A life of your choosing then this book (the final in the Manifesting Magic series) will deliver to you a simple but incredibly beautiful choice to make. You can sit back and observe life and by doing so send out submissive observational energy waves and just accept what comes back (living a reactionary life - like the vast majority of human beings) or you can decide now to take control of the energy that you are emitting into the universe and start designing the outcome you receive back. There are only two options, but whatever thoughts you create are going to have a dramatic impact on your life, so why not be in the driving seat rather than live like most people do as a mere blindfolded passenger? Discover: How the law of attraction works. How you connect to this powerful force. What quantum theory proves about us. How to consistently manifest what you want. Saying in balance with karma. Why gratitude amplifies the effects of cosmic ordering. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Craig Beck. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/058828/bk_acx0_058828_sample.mp3.

  More Than Just Race: Being Black and Poor in the Inner City (Issues of Our Time) , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 375min

  White Americans have long been comfortable in the assumption that they are the cultural norm. Now that notion is being challenged, as White people wrestle with what it means to be part of a fast-changing, truly multicultural nation. Facing chronic economic insecurity, a popular culture that reflects the nation’s diverse cultural reality, a future in which they will no longer constitute the majority of the population, and with a Black president in the White House, Whites are growing anxious. This anxiety has helped to create the Tea Party movement, with its call to "take our country back." By means of a racialized nostalgia for a mythological past, the Right is enlisting fearful Whites into its campaign for reactionary social and economic policies. In urgent response, Tim Wise has penned his most pointed and provocative work to date. Employing the form of direct personal address, he points a finger at Whites’ race-based self-delusion, explaining how such an agenda will only do harm to the nation’s people, including most Whites. In no uncertain terms, he argues that the hope for survival of American democracy lies in the embrace of our multicultural past, present and future.  ungekürzt. Language: English.

  Havana Dreams: A Story of Cuba , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 407min

  A fascinating, powerfully evocative story of four generations of Cuban women, through whose lives the author illuminates a vivid picture - both personal and historical - of Cuba in our century. In the Revuelta family Gimbel has found a source of both mystery and revelation. At its center is Naty: born in 1925, educated in the United States, she was a socialite during the Batista era. After marriage to a prominent doctor and the birth of a daughter, she became intoxicated with Castro and his revolution (here, published for the first time, are the letters they exchanged while he was in jail). Though her husband and daughter immigrated to the United States after Castro's victory, Naty remained in Cuba to raise her second child, Castro's unacknowledged daughter, only to be ultimately confronted by his dismissive, withering judgment: "Naty missed the train." Her two daughters, one of whom settles well into life in America, while the other never recovers from her father's intransigent repudiation of her; her granddaughter, who Naty desperately believes will return to Cuba when - not if - Castro is removed from the island; and her mother, an unregenerate reactionary: these are the lives that complete this extraordinary story. ungekürzt.

  Religion in Rebellions, Revolutions, and Social Movements (eBook, PDF)

  Religion in Rebellions, Revolutions, and Social Movements demonstrates that, while religion is often a social force that maintains, if not legitimates, the socio-political order, it is also a decisive factor in economic, social, and political conflict. The book explores how and under what conditions religion functions as a progressive and/or reactionary force that compels people to challenge or protect social orders. The authors focus on the role that religion has played in peasant, slave, and plebeian rebellions; revolutions including the Chinese, English, French, Russian, and Iranian; and modern social movements. In addition to these case studies, the book also contains theoretical chapters which explore the relationship religious thought has with the politics of liberation and oppression. It examines the institutional, organizational, ritualistic, discursive, ideological, and/or framing mechanisms that give religion its oppressive and liberating structures. Many scholars of religion continue very conventional modes of thinking, ignoring how religion has been-and continues to be-both a hegemonic and counter-hegemonic force in conflict. This book looks at both sides of the equation. This international and interdisciplinary volume will interest students and scholars in the fields of politics of religion, sociology of religion, religious studies, gender studies, and history.

  The Birth of Venus: A Novel, Hörbuch, Digital, 371min

  Alessandra Cecchi is not quite fifteen when her father, a prosperous cloth merchant, brings a young painter back from northern Europe to decorate the chapel walls in the family's Florentine palazzo. A child of the Renaissance, with a precocious mind and a talent for drawing, Alessandra is intoxicated by the painter's abilities. But their burgeoning relationship is interrupted when Alessandra's parents arrange her marriage to a wealthy, much older man. Meanwhile, Florence is changing, increasingly subject to the growing suppression imposed by the fundamentalist monk Savonarola, who is seizing religious and political control. Alessandra and her native city are caught between the Medici state, with its love of luxury, learning, and dazzling art, and the hellfire preaching and increasing violence of Savonarola's reactionary followers. Played out against this turbulent backdrop, Alessandra's married life is a misery, except for the surprising freedom it allows her to pursue her powerful attraction to the young painter and his art. The Birth of Venus is a tour de force, the first historical novel from one of Britain's most innovative writers of literary suspense. It brings alive the history of Florence at its most dramatic period, telling a compulsively absorbing story of love, art, religion, and power through the passionate voice of Alessandra, a heroine with the same vibrancy of spirit as her beloved city.
