    Alger Hiss and the Rosenbergs: The Controversial Trials of the Alleged Soviet Spies at the Height of the Red Scare , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 135min
    Shortly after World War II, Congress' House Committee on Un-American Activities began investigating Americans across the country for suspected ties to communism. Among the people called before the House Committee on Un-American Activities, none are as controversial as Alger Hiss. Hiss had graduated from Harvard Law, after which he worked as a clerk for Supreme Court Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes, worked in the Roosevelt administration for the Agricultural Adjustment Association, and was Head of the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace. That background didn't exactly sound like one held by a Soviet spy, let alone a communist, but Elizabeth Bentley, a former communist, notified the committee about a suspected spy ring and named several names, including Hiss. More notably, Hiss was also accused of being a communist and Soviet spy by an admitted communist, Whittaker Chambers. The Hiss case came at a time when the committee was populated by right-wing zealots, including a young congressman from California named Richard Nixon. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    Increasing Your Skills and Abilities in Any Area: Hidden Bible Secrets for Success , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 51min
    This book will make an outlandish promise: the wealth of God, regarding wisdom and the grace to increase in any skill, ability, or knowledge needed to do any God-ordained task is available to anyone who has the faith to receive it. This book is a mix of biblical examples and my examples. I'm hoping that these examples inspire everyone who reads them to believe God for an increase in their skills, abilities and knowledge to do whatever it is they are called to do. The Bible says in Daniel 11:32 that "the people who know their God shall be strong, and carry out great exploits." The supernatural enhancement of your skills and abilities is part of the great endowment of the father; the great inheritance he has left for us. What you will see in these examples is that God's help was available to those with relatively small jobs and to those who had leadership jobs with a national scope. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    Madness and Morals (eBook, ePUB)
    First published in 1975, Madness and Morals presents the major preoccupations of nineteenth century society concerning insanity, its problems, and implications. In the introduction to the collection, Vieda Skultans traces developments and changes in the ideas about the insane and their treatment during the nineteenth century. She shows that two contrasting themes dominated writing on the subject: the relative weight to be attributed to physical and moral causes of insanity; and the emphasis on hereditary endowment or the 'tyranny of organization'. The eighty years covered by this book produced a wide and varied literature on insanity, and the psychiatric texts reproduced, by English writers in the field are grouped under three sections: Outlines of Insanity; Psychiatric Romanticism; and Psychiatric Darwinism. These are written by physicians, administrators of the asylums and hospitals, editors of specialist publications, and others with wide experience in the field. These writings have a special relevance to the social history of the nineteenth century, for they demonstrate how psychiatric thinking reflects the contemporary moral outlook, forming a part of the total social fabric of society. This book will be useful for scholars and researchers of mental health, psychology, and psychiatry.

    Eternal on the Water , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 685min
    From the day Cobb and Mary meet kayaking on Maine’s Allagash River and fall deeply in love, the two approach life with the same sense of adventure they use to conquer the river’s treacherous rapids. But rivers do not let go so easily—and neither does their love. When Mary’s life takes the cruelest turn, she vows to face those rough waters on her own terms and asks Cobb to promise, when the time comes, to help her return to their beloved river for one final journey. Set against the rugged wilderness of Maine, the exotic islands of Indonesia, the sweeping panoramas of Yellowstone National Park, and the tranquil villages of rural New England, Eternal on the Water is at once heartbreaking and uplifting—a timeless, beautifully rendered story of true love’s power. Joseph Monninger has published several award-winning young adult novels and three books of nonfiction, including the memoir Home Waters. He has been awarded two grants from the National Endowment for the Arts and lives and teaches in New Hampshire, where he also runs a dogsled team. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Neil Shah.
