The Discovery of Witches , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 27min
Matthew Hopkins (c. 1620-1647) was an English witch-hunter whose career flourished during the English Civil War. Claiming to hold the office of Witchfinder General, his witch-hunts were mainly restricted to East Anglia. Hopkins is believed to have been responsible for the executions of 300 alleged witches between the years 1644 and 1646. This short but interesting pamphlet consists of a series of questions directed at Hopkins by county magistrates, and Hopkins’ answers, in which tries to justify his murderous deeds. The county magistrates wished to know how Hopkins determined who is a witch, what a witch does, how a witch is tortured to extract a confession and the like. Their questions reveal a skeptical view of his activities. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Brandon Wright. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/yurt/001258/bk_yurt_001258_sample.mp3.

Christianity Before Christ , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 376min
Nothing is new or original in Christianity. That is the important thesis demonstrated in Christianity Before Christ. The least important features, as well as the most important components, were all well developed in cultures that flourished before the time that Christ is alleged to have walked the parched paths of Roman Palestine. The information presented in this audiobook is absolutely crucial if atheists and other free thinkers are to understand the nature of the beast that threatens not only their liberties and rights as citizens in a secular republic, but also threatens to return world civilization itself back to the prescientific levels of the ancient cultures from which Christianity derived all its odd details. Every atheist needs to know what is in this audiobook! ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Richard Webb. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/202675/bk_acx0_202675_sample.mp3.

As screaming raiders sweep down from the mountains and Lapidary servants shatter under the pressure, the last princess of the Valley will have to summon up a strength she's never known.

Fresh Air, Karen Armstrong, Hörbuch, Digital, 46min

From North India, Sidhatta Gotama renounced normal life, leaving his wife and child to live alone and attain enlightenment.

How UPS Delivers Again and Again , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 21min
Here we begin with a paradox: United Parcel Service, good old "Brown", is seemingly a mighty bore yet actually a mighty innovator, one of America's most creative companies. Constantly finding new ways to capitalize on change, it has escaped corporate complacency and flourished in hard times. Now it's coping with global recession by reinventing itself yet again - this time with a whole new sideline, supply chain management.By reputation, UPS is a conservative, inward-looking company with no visible yen for dramatic reinvention. Promotions typically go to lifers: Many executives started as drivers. Employees must behave according to strict standards. Those who meet the public are trained to be pleasant but tightly efficient, their every move optimized by time-and-motion experts. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Suzanne Toren.
