    Images of St. Francis: Living the Gospel, Hörbuch, Digital, 289min
    In this course you are invited to encounter St. Francis of Assisi as never before. Your guide is Conventual Friar JA Wayne Hellmann, a leading expert on Franciscan theology and coeditor of Francis of Assisi: Early Documents. You will explore how Francis and his teaching came to be understood in rich and beautiful ways in the centuries that followed his life, making St. Francis deeply relevant then and now. One of the first to write about St. Francis was his friend Pope Gregory IX, who called Francis an "industrious bee" in the vineyard of the lord. Thomas of Celano presented an image of Francis "who had made his whole body a tongue" as he was carried on a donkey to continue his preaching mission. Even more interesting is the later transition from the image of the "Seraph" to the image of the "Angel of the Sixth Seal". With Fr. Hellmann as your guide, you will embark on a literary tour through these fascinating images. These expertly taught lectures will introduce you to the vast body of Franciscan literature, delivering you to the heart of Franciscan theology. You will love this course. Language: English.

    The Mind of the Islamic State: ISIS and the Ideology of the Caliphate , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 297min
    So often in history, it is ideas that kill.... What are the ideas that drive the Islamic State? How did it develop and systematise its unique form of apocalyptic violence? In this gripping account, Robert Manne shows how the Islamic State's worldview evolved, from the 1960s prison writings of Sayyid Qutb all the way to its elegant online magazine of horror, Dabiq. This gripping account reveals the crucial role of texts such as The Management of Savagery and figures such as al-Zarqawi, who set out to pit Sunni against Shi'a, tearing Iraq apart. Shortly after the fall of Mosul in June 2014, US General Michael Nagata said of the new jihadist threat, 'We have not defeated the idea. We do not even understand the idea.' By examining the beliefs and strategies at the heart of the Islamic State, Manne shows how a dark ideology came into being. Robert Manne is emeritus professor of politics at La Trobe University. His recent books include Making Trouble: Essays Against the New Complacency and The Words That Made Australia (as coeditor). He has written three quarterly essays and is a regular contributor to The Monthly and The Guardian. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Andrew Martin.

    Nashville Eats (eBook, ePUB)
    "Perfectly captures the spirit of Music City . . . An incredible collection of recipes that makes you want to spend as much time as possible in Nashville" (Sean Brock, chef and author of Heritage). If it seems like Nashville is everywhere these days-that's because it is. GQ recently declared it "Nowville," and it has become the music hotspot for both country and rock. But as hot as the music scene is, the food scene is even hotter. In Nashville Eats, more than one hundred mouthwatering recipes reveal why food lovers are headed south for Nashville's hot chicken, buttermilk biscuits, pulled pork sandwiches, cornmeal-crusted catfish, chowchow, fried green tomatoes, and chess pie. Author Jennifer Justus whips up the classics-such as pimento cheese and fried chicken-but also includes dishes with a twist on traditional Southern fare-such as Curried Black Chickpeas or Catfish Tacos. And alongside the recipes, Jennifer shares her stories of Nashville-the people, music, history, and food that make it so special. "A love letter to the working-class cooking of Nashville . . . Nashville Eats by Jennifer Justus is a well-honed cultural passkey to one of America's great culinary cities." -John T. Edge, coeditor, The Southern Foodways Alliance Community Cookbook

    Prosperity Far Distant: The Journal of an American Farmer, 1933-1934 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 511min
    Fresh from receiving a doctorate from Cornell University in 1933, but unable to find work, Charles M. Wiltse joined his parents on the small farm they had recently purchased in southern Ohio. There, the Wiltses scratched out a living selling eggs, corn, and other farm goods at prices that were barely enough to keep the farm intact. In wry and often affecting prose, Wiltse recorded a year in the life of this quintessentially American place during the Great Depression. He describes the family's daily routine, occasional light moments, and their ongoing frustrations, small and large - from a neighbor's hog that continually broke into the cornfields to the ongoing struggle with their finances. Franklin Roosevelt's New Deal had little to offer small farmers, and despite repeated requests, the family could not secure loans from local banks to help them through the hard economic times. Wiltse spoke the bitter truth when he told his diary, "We are not a lucky family." In this he represented millions of others caught in the maw of a national disaster. The diary is introduced and edited by Michael J. Birkner, Wiltse's former colleague at the Papers of Daniel Webster Project at Dartmouth College, and coeditor, with Wiltse, of the final volume of Webster's correspondence. The book is published by Ohio University Press. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Wayne Hughes. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/031929/bk_acx0_031929_sample.mp3.
