    Iniquitous , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 587min
    For there to be light, you must first suffer the darkness. The end came at me jagged and skewed like puzzle pieces to a game I didn't know I was playing. There was a distinct method to the madness, every move propagated to force my hand, to lure me out of hiding with the sweet promise of finality. I took solace in knowing that something better waited for me on the other side, something as pure and deep as the ocean itself. But there was no end in sight. No peace to be found. The end was only the beginning. Iniquitous is the heart-pounding third installment in The Marked saga, a fast-paced YA paranormal romance that grapples with love, loss, and self-discovery in a unique supernatural world filled with vampires, witches, shifters, and angels. This book is part of a series and ends in a cliffhanger. Infernal (The Marked, Book 4) is next. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Bailey Carr.

    Unmanned: Drones, Data, and the Illusion of Perfect Warfare , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 698min
    Unmanned is an in-depth examination of why seemingly successful wars never seem to end. The problem centers on drones, now accumulated in the thousands, the front end of a spying and killing machine that is disconnected from either security or safety. Drones, however, are only part of the problem. William Arkin shows that security is actually undermined by an impulse to gather as much data as possible, the appetite and the theory both skewed toward the notion that no amount is too much. And yet the very endeavor of putting fewer humans in potential danger places everyone in greater danger. Wars officially end, but the data machine lives on forever. Throughout his career, Arkin has exposed powerful secrets of so-called national security and intelligence. Now he continues that tradition. The most alarming book about warfare in years, Unmanned is essential listening for anyone who cares about the future of mankind. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: William M. Arkin.

    Rethinking Our Past: Recognizing Facts, Fictions, and Lies in American History , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 481min
    You will get the most from this course by reading or listening to Professor Loewen's book, Lies My Teacher Told Me: Everything Your American History Textbook Got Wrong. Within that book are many facts about American (and world) history to which most people have simply never been exposed. Nationalist history by textbook authors and the descendants or biographers of the famous and infamous have given history students a very skewed vision of our true history - indeed, the true history of mankind. This course is designed to enlighten and encourage you to consider the factual basis of many of our most-cherished yet glossed-over stories and the real-life characters who populate them. From archaeological misinformation to investigations into the nature of modern public policy, Professor Loewen challenges you to consider the history of what "was" rather than what has been told by standard teaching methods and textbooks. ungekürzt.

    Mad in America: Bad Science, Bad Medicine, and the Enduring Mistreatment of the Mentally Ill , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 795min
    Schizophrenics in the United States currently fare worse than patients in the world’s poorest countries. In Mad in America, medical journalist Robert Whitaker argues that modern treatments for the severely mentally ill are just old medicine in new bottles, and that we as a society are deeply deluded about their efficacy. The widespread use of lobotomies in the 1920s and 1930s gave way in the 1950s to electroshock and a wave of new drugs. In what is perhaps Whitaker’s most damning revelation, Mad in America examines how drug companies in the 1980s and 1990s skewed their studies to prove that new antipsychotic drugs were more effective than the old, while keeping patients in the dark about dangerous side effects. A haunting, deeply compassionate audiobook now revised with a new introduction. Mad in America raises important questions about our obligations to the mad, the meaning of "insanity,” and what we value most about the human mind. ungekürzt. Language: English.
