    Green Tea , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 76min
    Joseph Thomas Sheridan Le Fanu (1814-1873) was an Irish master of horror fiction and mystery novels. Green Tea is the story of the Reverend Jennings, who consumes copious amounts of green tea while pursuing his esoteric interests late at night. When something goes wrong, he approaches Doctor Hesselius, who sets out the narrative in the form of a series of letters to another physician. He discusses the symptoms of the clergyman’s mysterious affliction, which torments him and interferes with his services. The illness appears to be mental rather than physical. In this masterpiece of Gothic horror, the author weaves a tapestry of psychological unease by offering scientific explanations for the supernatural experiences afflicting Reverend Jennings. ungekürzt.

    In Defense of Globalization , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 801min
    In the passionate debate that currently rages over globalization, critics have been heard blaming it for a host of ills afflicting poorer nations - everything from child labor to environmental degradation and cultural homogenization. Now Jagdish Bhagwati, the internationally renowned economist, takes on the critics, revealing that globalization, when properly governed, is in fact the most powerful force for social good in the world today. Drawing on his unparalleled knowledge of international and development economics, Bhagwati explains why the "gotcha" examples of the critics are often not as compelling as they seem. With the wit and wisdom for which he is renowned, Bhagwati convincingly shows that globalization is part of the solution, not part of the problem . ungekürzt. Language: English.

    A Macat Analysis of Betty Friedan's The Feminine Mystique , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 118min
    Born in 1921, Betty Friedan was an American psychology graduate, political activist, journalist, wife, and mother who challenged the vision 1950s America had of itself as a nation of happy housewives in contented families. In 1963's The Feminine Mystique, she identified "the problem that has no name" afflicting women pressured to devote themselves to domestic life. After World War II, society fostered the idea that women wanted different things from men - namely, to run homes and live through the achievements of their husbands and children. In reality, rigid gender roles left housewives frustrated and depressed and caused tensions both in their marriages and in how couples raised their children. Friedan's answer was to allow women equal opportunities to learn, work, and grow, so all people could enjoy better relationships. While conservatives scorned Friedan's ideas, her writings nonetheless struck a chord with millions of Americans and helped reignite the US feminist movement in the 1960s, leading to both legal and social change. ungekürzt.

    That's Not a Feeling: A Novel , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 665min
    Benjamin arrives with his parents for a tour of Roaring Orchards, a therapeutic boarding school tucked away in upstate New York. Suddenly, his parents are gone and Benjamin learns that he is there to stay. Sixteen-years-old, a two-time failed suicide, Benjamin must navigate his way through a new world of “popped privileges”, “candor meetings”, “morning meds”, and “cartoon brunches” - all run by adults who themselves have yet to really come of age. The only person who comprehends the school’s many rules and rituals is Aubrey, the founder and headmaster. Fragile, brilliant, and prone to rage, he is as likely to use his authority to reward students as to punish them. But when Aubrey falls ill, life at the school begins to unravel. Benjamin has no one to rely on but the other students, especially Tidbit, an intriguing but untrustworthy girl with a “self-afflicting personality”. More and more, Benjamin thinks about running away from Roaring Orchards - but he feels an equal need to know just what it is he would be leaving behind. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    Father Benedict: The Spiritual and Intellectual Legacy of Pope Benedict XVI , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 223min
    Pope Benedict XVI is widely considered to be the greatest theologian and Catholic thinker of our time. In this book, author James Day unpacks the voluminous teachings of Pope Benedict and presents his remedies for the many ills afflicting the Church and our culture, including individualism, materialism, secularism, and godlessness. At a time when the many "isms" of our day are pulling people away from the Faith, Father Benedict presents a hope-filled future, but only if we are to follow the guidance of Pope Benedict and the path he presents to us in every aspect of life: the formation of the Christian faith, in loving others, in personal vocation, in education, and in how we see the natural world. Pope Benedict XVI offers our generation one of the clearest understandings of our world today, tirelessly championing the New Evangelization and a sacramental return to Christ and his Church. Father Benedict offers a compelling case for the Christian way, guiding us through the thoughts and writings of the Bavarian priest who became the Holy Father, and who now simply wishes to be called "Father Benedict". ungekürzt.
