    Spin Masters: How the Media Ignored the Real News and Helped Reelect Barack Obama , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 363min
    The biggest story of the election was how the media ignored the biggest story of the election. Amid all the breathless coverage of a nonexistent war on women, there was little or no coverage of Obama's war on the economy - how, for instance, part-time work is replacing full-time work, how low-wage jobs are replacing high-wage ones, how for Americans between the ages of 25 and 54 there are fewer jobs today than there were when the recession officially ended in 2009, and fewer, in fact, than at any time since mid-1997. The downsizing of the American economy wasn't the only story the media missed - or suppressed - there was also the unraveling of Obama's foreign policy and the deadly scandals at home (Fast and Furious) and abroad (the terrorist attack that killed the American ambassador at Benghazi). But instead of serious, substantive journalism, the media reported ad nauseam on trifles (Big Bird), Republican-baiting hysteria (how everything the Republicans said was allegedly "racial code"), and distortions of Romney's remarks (such as the "47 percent" comment). The media dropped the ball in covering the 2012 election, says David Freddoso, editorial page editor of the Washington Examiner, and in doing so, the media failed in their responsibility to keep politicians honest and the public well-informed. Freddoso, a New York Times best-selling author and former congressional reporter for National Review, fills this volume not only with outrageous examples of media bias but also with dozens of real stories that genuinely inquisitive reporters should have relished but that the overwhelmingly liberal press didn't even bother to cover. Full of the news you didn't hear about in 2012, David Freddoso's Spin Masters: How the Media Ignored the Real News and Helped Reelect Barack Obama will be the most provocative and accurate take of just how Barack Obama managed to get reelected amid the worst economic ungekürzt.

    Cannabis: The Breakthrough Solution to Cure Diseases , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 49min
    In the world of medicine, experts are constantly looking for the right method to cure illnesses and diseases; they are willing to spend thousands and millions of dollars when it comes to research. Despite the state-of-the-art technologies that are created to come up with the most effective means to cure diseases or illnesses, scientists and experts still have not met the requirements to provide treatments that are affordable and have only a few side effects. For instance, people who are suffering from late-stage cancer may not get the real treatment they need. Costly treatments like chemotherapy may just help them relieve the symptoms and prevent the cancer cells from spreading, but will it take away the cancer? Sadly, no; the patient still continues to struggle and will not acquire the recovery that he or she deserves. On the other hand, there's one alternative treatment that is deemed promising and a breakthrough when it comes to curing various diseases and illnesses, and it is no other than cannabis, or marijuana, a popular plant that is always associated with dangerous drugs and prohibited by the government in most parts of the world. Many textbooks, magazines, journals, and documentaries have been made about marijuana, and sadly not all of them are in favor of cannabis. This may be due to the stigma that has been attached to marijuana for several decades already. It can be associated with the extensive use of marijuana that can cause a feeling of being high, just as other illegal drugs do. This became more apparent in 1971, when President Nixon declared a war against drugs, and this included marijuana. Marijuana was used by our ancient ancestors in many corners of the world. There is evidence that shows that cannabis was indeed part of their daily activity, as several remnants of cannabis were found in ancient sites and mummies. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    The Past as Present: Forging Contemporary Identities Through History , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 948min
    Understanding our past is of critical importance to our present. Many popularly held views about the past need to be critically inquired into before they can be taken as historical. For instance, what was the aftermath of the raid on the Somanatha temple? Which of us is Aryan or Dravidian? Why is it important for Indian society to be secular? When did communalism as an ideology gain a foothold in the country? How and when did our patriarchal mindset begin to support a culture of violence against women? Why are the fundamentalists so keen to rewrite history textbooks? The answers to these and similar questions have been disputed and argued about ever since they were first posed. Distinguished historian Romila Thapar has investigated, analyzed and interpreted the history that underlies such questions throughout her career; now, in this book, through a series of incisive essays she argues that it is of critical importance for the past to be carefully and rigorously explained, if the legitimacy of our present, wherever it derives from the past, is to be portrayed as accurately as possible. This is especially pertinent given the attempts by unscrupulous politicians, religious fundamentalists and their ilk to try and misrepresent and willfully manipulate the past in order to serve their present-day agendas. An essential and necessary book at a time when sectarianism, bogus 'nationalism' and the muddying of historical facts are increasingly becoming a feature of our public, private and intellectual lives. Romila Thapar is one of the most important indian academics writing today. Well-researched and thoroughly accessible, this volume is sure to become essential listening for those interested in Indian history and religion. It includes her experience of writing history textbooks for school, analysis of ancient history and interpretations of the epics, and the role history plays in contemporary politics. ungekürzt.

    Love and Other Ways of Dying: Essays , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 860min
    In this moving, lyrical, and ultimately uplifting collection of essays, Michael Paterniti turns a keen eye on the full range of human experience, introducing us to an unforgettable cast of everyday people. Michael Paterniti is one of the most original and empathic storytellers working today. His writing has been described as "humane, devastating, and beautiful" by Elizabeth Gilbert, "spellbinding" by Anthony Doerr, and "expansive and joyful" by George Saunders. In the 17 wide-ranging essays collected for the first time in Love and Other Ways of Dying, he brings his full literary powers to bear, pondering happiness and grief, memory and the redemptive power of human connection. In the remote Ukranian countryside, Paterniti picks apples (and faces mortality) with a real-life giant; in Nanjing, China, he confronts a distraught jumper on a suicide bridge; in Dodge City, Kansas, he takes up residence at a roadside hotel and sees, firsthand, the ways in which the racial divide turns neighbor against neighbor. In each instance Paterniti illuminates the full spectrum of human experience, introducing us to unforgettable everyday people and bygone legends, exploring the big ideas and emotions that move us. Paterniti reenacts François Mitterrand's last meal in a rustic dining room in France and drives across America with Albert Einstein's brain in the trunk of his rental car, floating in a Tupperware container. He delves with heartbreaking detail into the aftermath of a plane crash off the coast of Nova Scotia, an earthquake in Haiti, and a tsunami in Japan - and, in searing swirls of language, unearths the complicated, hidden truths these moments of extremity teach us about our ability to endure and to love. Michael Paterniti has spent the past two decades grappling with some of our most powerful subjects and incomprehensible events, taking an unflinching point of view that seeks to edify as it resists easy answers. ungekürzt.

    The Public Speaker: How to Get Paid as a Professional Speaker , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 71min
    You can become a professional public speaker as a lucrative sideline to your current business, or you can make professional speaking the entire focus of your career. It's up to you! Professional speaking is a flexible and lucrative enterprise. The best public speakers earn all or most of their money from public speaking, and they make very good livings indeed. Fees for public speaking can range from the low hundreds, for those just starting out, all the way up to six figures, for those who have impressive credentials and experience. What are some types of public speaking you may want to practice? Many speakers enjoy giving workshops, seminars, or keynote speeches. A speech will usually run a half-hour to an hour, depending on the time of day. Lunch speeches, for instance, will be shorter than a keynote speech at a banquet. You may be booked as the highlight or draw of a conference, or be asked to speak to a lunchtime networking meeting. Workshops and seminars are generally lengthier than speeches. In workshops, participants often get hands-on experience in your area of expertise. Like workshops, seminars may run a day or longer, but they won't necessarily include a hands-on component. Either workshops or seminars may be presented as a part of a larger conference. Professional speaking can also help you build your business. You may choose to add speaking to your repertoire as a marketing boost. There is no better way to become known. Many people who promote their businesses through public speaking also sell additional products at the "back of the room." These can include books, CD sets, coaching sessions, and so forth - and all of these can lead to more public speaking engagements, too! Success as a public speaker adds to self-confidence and self-esteem. Knowing that you can command the rapt attention of an audience of hundreds, or even thousands, gives you unshakeable confidence in nearly every situation. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    Seven Events That Made America America: And Proved That the Founding Fathers Were Right All Along , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 583min
    Every schoolchild is taught the great turning points in American history, such as Gettysburg, Pearl Harbor, the Kennedy assassination, and 9/11. But other, equally significant events have altered our destiny without being understood - or even widely noticed. Acclaimed conservative historian Larry Schweikart now takes an in-depth look at seven such episodes and reveals the profound ways they have shaped America. He also asks listeners to reconsider them not just in terms of what happened but in light of the Founding Fathers' vision for our nation. What would Washington, Jefferson, or Madison have said about these events? In the same accessible style of his previous best sellers - A Patriot's History of the United States and 48 Liberal Lies About American History - Professor Schweikart doesn't merely recount our history; he forces us to rethink what makes our country great. He shows how individual liberty, private enterprise, and small government helped build a free and prosperous nation. Conversely, whenever these values have been threatened by big government, oppressive taxes, and special interests, we lose sight of the principles that made us strong. You'll be surprised to learn how these events spurred sweeping changes that still affect us today. For instance: Martin Van Buren's consolidation of the first national political party made it possible for Barack Obama to get elected almost two centuries later Dwight Eisenhower's heart attack led to a war on red meat, during which the government took control over Americans' diets The rock 'n' roll craze (often mistakenly claimed as a liberal phenomenon) helped bring about the decline of communism and the fall of the Soviet Union In this time of national uncertainty, it has never been more important for Americans to understand what has shaped our national destiny. This provocative book will enlighten anyone looking for clarity about our p ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Peter Berkrot.

    50 Things Kate Bush Taught Me about the Multiverse
    This book is of course for the many Kate Bush fans of the world, but it's certainly not necessary to be well acquainted with Bush's work to enjoy this collection. It's also suited for any fans of 80s and 90s pop culture. Some allusions reference, for instance: Peter Gabriel, Roxy Music, Helmut Newton, Carrie(film), Poltergeist, Interview with a Vampire, The Silence of the Lambs, Joyce Carol Oates, Robert Lowell, Wallace Stevens, Emily Dickinson, Julie London, Wilhelm Reich, Bridge to Terabithia, MTV, and so many more. Given the Kate Bush influence on this, we'd also love to push this in the UK as much as possible. McGlynn would also love to do events in the UK if possible! We'd love any available help with this. Other target audiences include LGBTQ+ readers, anyone who grew up with MTV in the 80s and 90s, etc. It would be INCREDIBLE to get someone from SNL to blurb or push this book, given Kate Bush's SNL performance that introduced her to the US. If any sales reps have contacts or suggestions for this, please send them along! McGlynn's most recent book with us, Hothouse, was named a NYT Editor's Choice in 2017. Recent awards, among many others, include the Rumi Prize for Poetry from The Arts & Letters, selected by Cate Marvin, and a Pushcart Prize Special Mention.

    No Time to Waist: Powerful Hypnotic Weight Loss Secrets You Need to Know, Hörbuch, Digital, 405min
    Why do our best intentions to lose weight self-destruct? The answer lies in the subconscious aspect of our minds. The source of all behaviors is here, and it’s important with issues of weight to look deeply into that source. For instance, if we were urged to clean our plate at age five, we may still find ourselves doing that as adults, and not know why. Most eating patterns, when analyzed, turn out to be nothing more than habits learned in younger years. Those habits are embedded in the subconscious where we are seldom, if ever, aware of their existence.Not all our wishing, hoping, dieting, or good intentions at the conscious level are going to make anything but a temporary difference in our ability to lose weight, as we can easily see from the frustrating yo-yo syndrome. Why? Because diets don’t - indeed can’t - make permanent changes in the life-long habits ruling our lives from the region of the subconscious. Hypnosis offers the single most efficient way to promote behavioral change by direct suggestion virtually planted in the fertile ground of the subconscious. Studies show that those using hypnosis along with healthy eating and exercise lose double the weight of those using diet and exercise alone.No Time to Waist is an entire weight loss program developed by board-certified hypnotherapist Drake Eastburn. He’s been helping people lose weight and keep it off for more than 30 years. This powerful program includes an audiobook and complete six-session hypnosis program designed to help you achieve the results you want. You would pay upwards of $1,000 to work with Drake privately for this program. Thanks to Audible you can experience the benefit of his time-tested weight mastery program for a fraction of that!No Time to Waist may be used as a stand-alone program or as a powerful enhancement to other programs like Weight Watchers, Jenny Craig, NutriSystem, SlimGenics, Southbeach, Optavia, and others.

    Empath: How to Overcome Fear, Anxiety, Negative Mindset and Narcissism: Understand Your Empath Abilities and Develop Your Potential. Learn Life Strategies for Highly Sensitive People. , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 201min
    If you want to understand and develop your empath abilities, then keep reading...For anyone to have a life that is full of happiness, satisfaction, and in good terms with other people, they need to be capable of having a healthy relationship with the people around them. Having a proper physical, social, and emotional connection with other people is what makes living this life bearable. For empaths, on the other hand, finding this balance is really hard, and it requires a high level of tolerance, resilience, and self-will.Empathy is a condition that has, for a very long time, been ignored by those who know nothing about it or don't care. Even those affected by it hide in shame and fear of being ridiculed, looked down upon, or even being physically or emotionally taken advantage of. So, what is empathy? How do you know whether or not you have an empathetic ability?In this book, we will take a deeper look at what it means to be an empath, what strategies you can best use to make the most out of your abilities, and how to discover energy vampires and handle them before they drain away all your positive energy.A simple definition of an empath is that they are a group of special people who are highly sensitive and are great receptors of other people’s energies, both physical and emotional. Empaths have an amazing ability to feel and understand what other people around them are going through, at a deeper level. For instance, if you are having a headache and you are with an empathetic person, then chances are that they will also develop a headache. If you are crying for one reason or another, the empath will also feel your sorrow and will join you in crying!Do you sometimes feel like you have had enough of being in crowds and want to just be alone in your own world? Or do you prefer the company of pets and other animals compared to that of other people? Are there times where you find yourself weighed down by other people’s proble ungekürzt. Language: English.
