    Why Cro-Magnon Man Went Extinct , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 3min
    Cro-Magnon Man was smarter and generally more capable than we are. So why did he go extinct? Precisely because he was so capable. Whereas members of our species are weaklings who rely on others, members of his species had it in them to be rugged individualists; and that is what they did. But then, when circumstances became too severe, they had no social support and thus went extinct. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: J. M. Kuczynski.

    On the Social Contract , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 301min
    Man was born free, but everywhere he is in chains." Thus begins Jean-Jacques Rousseau's influential 1762 work, On the Social Contract, a milestone of political science, and essential reading for students of history, philosophy, and social science. A progressive work, it inspired world-wide political reforms, most notably the American and French Revolutions, because it argued that monarchs were not divinely empowered to legislate. Rousseau asserts that only the people, in the form of the sovereign, have that all powerful right. On the Social Contract's appeal and influence has been wide-ranging and continuous. It has been called an encomium to democracy and, at the same time, a blueprint for totalitarianism. Individualists, collectivists, anarchists, and socialists have all taken courage from Rousseau's controversial masterpiece. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Erik Sandval.

    Democracy in America , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 167min
    Alexis de Tocqueville, a young French aristocrat, captured the essence of nineteenth-century America in his penetrating work, Democracy in America. The democratic concept of equality was emerging as a political reality in America, and it threatened the aristocracy of Europe; it produced a society of individualists hungry for self improvement. In this classic treatise, Tocqueville weighed the advantages of democracy against its dangers. He asked: Is the tendency toward equality a tendency toward liberty? Can the majority be restrained to protect the freedom of individuals and minorities? In pondering these questions, Tocqueville presented an unsurpassed picture of American government, culture, and attitudes. He proclaimed a new nation with a new theory of human interaction: America, ruled by the will of the majority. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Craig Deitschmann.

    Patriots , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 490min
    REVOLT ON A FRONTIER PLANET The corrupt Earth government is sending an army to Greenwood to remove the pioneers who discovered and settled the planet: the potential profits are too great to leave the world to scraggly ne'er-do-wells! Though the rugged individualists of Greenwood may be fractious and disinclined to agree on most things, the greedy politicians of Earth will learn a harsh lesson if they think the settlers won't join together to save their livelihoods and homes! Under Yerby Bannock, who never walked away from a drink or a fight, the Greenwood patriots will face thugs in the night, lawyers in a distant court, traitors in their own ranks. And, if they have to, a fortress built to shrug off the assault of a battlefleet! ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Marc Vietor.

    Henry David Thoreau: A Life , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 1341min
    Walden. Yesterday I came here to live. That entry from the journal of Henry David Thoreau, and the intellectual journey it began, would by themselves be enough to place Thoreau in the American pantheon. His attempt to "live deliberately" in a small woods at the edge of his hometown of Concord has been a touchstone for individualists and seekers since the publication of Walden in 1854. But there was much more to Thoreau than his brief experiment in living at Walden Pond. A member of the vibrant intellectual circle centered on his neighbor Ralph Waldo Emerson, he was also an ardent naturalist, a manual laborer and inventor, a radical political activist, and more. Many books have taken up various aspects of Thoreau's character and achievements, but, as Laura Dassow Walls writes, "Thoreau has never been captured between covers; he was too quixotic, mischievous, many-sided." Two hundred years after his birth, and two generations after the last full-scale biography, Walls restores Henry David Thoreau to us in all his profound, inspiring complexity. ungekürzt.

    Office Cowboys: Cautionary Tales from the Cubicle Frontier , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 499min
    You’ve seen the movies. You know the tropes. The rugged, stubborn, and iconic American cowboy is too tough to die, too mean to quit, and too proud to live by anyone else’s rules. Larger-than-life cowboy characters are heroes on the silver screen, where the stories are made up and the consequences don’t truly matter. In the modern office, however, these aggressive individualists can be a massive pain in everyone’s neck. The stubborn, oppositional, uncooperative, and all-around unreliable office cowboy, on the other hand, is tremendously corrosive to discipline, productivity, and team morale. The all-too-common "I do what I want" non-conformist won’t listen to reason. They push social boundaries, break all the rules, and seem determined to make the boss’s life a living hell. If you’ve ever wondered how to handle your own office cowboy, then this book is for you. In this collection of 20 new and expanded columns, Business Reporter’s resident American correspondent Keil Hubert studies the personality types, culture, and social forces that allow these disruptive characters to thrive in the modern white-collar business setting…and recommends some pragmatic tactics for reining your varmints in when they inevitably challenge your authority. ungekürzt.

    The Madness Season , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 1189min
    He'd had so many names over the centuries, so many new identities that he could scarcely remember who he had originally been. Now his name was Daetrin, a name given by the alien conquerors of humankind, the Tyr. Three hundred years had passed since the Tyr conquered the people of Earth as they had previously overcome numerous races throughout the galaxy. In their victory they had taken the very heart out of the human race, isolating the true individualists, the geniuses, all the people who represented the hopes, dreams, and discoveries of the future, and imprisoning them in dome colonies on planets hostile to human life. There the Tyr, a race which shared a unified gestalt mind, had left these gifted individuals to work on projects which would, the conquerors hoped, reveal all of humankind's secrets to them.Yet Daetrin's secret was one no scientist had even uncovered, for down through the years he had succeeded in burying it so well that he had even hidden his real nature from himself. But, taken into custody by the Tyr, there was no longer any place for Daetrin to run, no new name and life for him to assume. Now he would at last be forced to confront the truth about himself-and if he failed, not just Daetrin but all humans would pay the price... ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Jonathan Davis.
