Where is Q? Clair and Jesse have barely been reunited when the world is plunged into its biggest crisis since the Water Wars. The d-mat network is broken. The world has ground to a halt. People are trapped, injured, dying. It's the end of the world as Clair knows it - and it's partly her fault. "The girl who killed d-mat" is enlisted to track down her missing friend Q - the rogue AI who repeatedly saved Clair's life. Q is the key to fixing the system, but she isn't responding to calls for help, and even if she did - can she be trusted? Targeted by dupes, abandoned by her friends, caught in a web of lies that strike at the very essence of who she is, Clair finds powerful allies in RADICAL, secretive activists who are the polar opposite of anti-d-mat group WHOLE. However, if she helps them find Q, will she be inadvertently trapping her friend in a life of servitude - or worse, sending her to an early death by erasure? Caught between pro- and anti-d-mat philosophies, in a world on the brink of all-out war, Clair must decide where she stands - and who she stands with, at the end. ungekürzt. Language: English.

Uneasy Spirits: A Victorian San Francisco Mystery , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 790min
In this second book in the Victorian San Francisco Mystery series, it is the fall of 1879 and Annie Fuller, a young San Francisco widow, has a problem. Despite her growing financial success as the clairvoyant Madam Sibyl, Annie doesn't believe in the astrology and palmistry her clients think are the basis for her advice. Kathleen Hennessey, Annie Fuller's young Irish maid, has a plan. When her mistress is asked to expose a fraudulent trance medium, Arabella Frampton, Kathleen is determined to assist in the investigation, just like the Pinkerton detectives she has read about in the dime novels. Nate Dawson, up-and-coming San Francisco lawyer, has a dilemma. He wants to marry the unconventional Annie Fuller, but he doesn't feel he can reveal his true feelings until he has a way to make enough money to support her. In Uneasy Spirits, this cozy historical mystery of romantic suspense, Annie delves into the intriguing world of 19th century spiritualism, encountering true believers and naïve dupes, clever frauds and unexplained supernatural phenomena. She will soon find there are as many secrets as there are spirits swirling around the Frampton séance table. Some of those secrets will threaten the foundation of her career as Madam Sibyl and the future of her relationship with Nate Dawson, and, in time, they will threaten her very life itself. Uneasy Spirits is the second book in M. Louisa Locke's Victorian historical mystery series, followed by Bloody Lessons. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Alexandra Haag.

Pen and Ink Witchcraft: Treaties and Treaty Making in American Indian History , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 846min
Indian peoples made some 400 treaties with the United States between the American Revolution and 1871, when Congress prohibited them. They signed nine treaties with the Confederacy, as well as countless others over the centuries with Spain, France, Britain, Mexico, the Republic of Texas, Canada, and even Russia, not to mention individual colonies and states. In retrospect, the treaties seem like well-ordered steps on the path of dispossession and empire. The reality was far more complicated. In Pen and Ink Witchcraft, eminent Native American historian Colin G. Calloway narrates the history of diplomacy between North American Indians and their imperial adversaries, particularly the United States. Treaties were cultural encounters and human dramas, each with its cast of characters and conflicting agendas. Many treaties, he notes, involved not land, but trade, friendship, and the resolution of disputes. Far from all being one-sided, they were negotiated on the Indians' cultural and geographical terrain. When the Mohawks welcomed Dutch traders in the early 1600s, they sealed a treaty of friendship with a wampum belt with parallel rows of purple beads, representing the parties traveling side-by-side, as equals, on the same river. But the American republic increasingly turned treaty-making into a tool of encroachment on Indian territory. Calloway traces this process by focusing on the treaties of Fort Stanwix (1768), New Echota (1835), and Medicine Lodge (1867), in addition to such events as the Peace of Montreal in 1701 and the treaties of Fort Laramie (1851 and 1868). His analysis demonstrates that native leaders were hardly dupes. The records of negotiations, he writes, show that "Indians frequently matched their colonizing counterparts in diplomatic savvy and tried, literally, to hold their ground." Each treaty has its own story, Calloway writes, but together they tell a rich and complicated tale of moments in American history when civilizat ungekürzt. Language: English.

La tête coupée
Nous sommes les dupes du langage. Jamais le décalage entre le discours et les faits n'a été aussi impressionnant. Jamais les mots n'ont autant joué avec les choses. À l'évidence, il existe un piège caché dans le langage qu'il est urgent de conjurer. Depuis Platon, Machiavel, Hobbes et Rousseau, nous savions que toute théorie du Pouvoir est, à la fois, une théorie de l'homme, une théorie politique et une théorie de l'histoire. Avec A.-A. Upinsky elle devient essentiellement une théorie du langage, une grille de lecture universelle. Toute l'histoire de l'Humanité n'apparaît plus que comme la guerre sans merci de deux langages ennemis : le Réalisme et le Nominalisme. Les réalistes sont ceux qui croient à la vérité des mots ; les nominalistes, ceux qui croient au pouvoir des mots. D'un côté, la thèse nominaliste du Bon sauvage conduit à l'optimisme politique, mais aussi à l'impasse de la philosophie de l'absurde. De l'autre côté, la thèse réaliste du Naturel cannibale implique une théorie pessimiste de la politique mais, en revanche, une philosophie significative de la vie. Aujourd'hui la thèse nominaliste domine dans le langage prédateur de la rhétorique politique qui constitue la plus grande mystification intellectuelle de tous les temps. Ressort de la mutilation du pouvoir, ce langage, tartuffe souriant, mène la danse sous le masque de la philanthropie. C'est en coupant la parole qu'il fait tomber les têtes, c'est en castrant le savoir qu'il rend l'esprit impuissant, c'est en se faisant double-langage qu'il se maintient au pouvoir. Conjurer cette perversion du langage, pour renverser la phrase politique, remettre le langage sur ses pieds, est devenu aujourd'hui une question de survie spirituelle sinon physique : l'urgence de notre temps. La tête coupée est le livre de chevet des politiques et des hommes de communication.- Shop: buecher
