Giving Up Whiteness: One Man's Journey , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 485min
Jeff James was one of the good White guys. At least, that's what he thought. But when he asked a Black friend how to become an antiracist, he had to think again. "Simple," she shot back, "get rid of Whiteness."Thus began his journey to discover, name, and dismantle the racial category that had defined and advantaged him for a lifetime. In Giving Up Whiteness, James leads listeners on an intimate, humble, and disorienting investigation of what it means to be White in 21st-century America.He begins to wonder what forces shape his own and other White people's choices: about where to live, who to marry, and what church to join. With a blend of honest storytelling and incisive critique, James guides listeners through the questions he encountered: What privileges accrue to people categorized as White? How have some Christians bolstered White supremacy through misreading of Scripture? How does Whiteness make itself invisible? And is it possible to give it up?The things we can't see wield the most power, so it's time to take a hard look at Whiteness. Ultimately, James writes, White people like him have a lot of work to do, and it's past time to get started. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Micah Howery.

Make the Impossible Possible: One Man's Crusade to Inspire Others to Dream Bigger and Achieve the Extraordinary , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 432min
According to MacArthur Fellowship "genius" award winner Bill Strickland, a successful life is not something you simply pursue, it is something that you create, moment by moment. It is a realization Strickland first came to when, as a poor kid growing up in a rough neighborhood of Pittsburgh, he encountered a high-school ceramics teacher who took him under his wing and went on to transform his life. Over the past 30 years, Bill Strickland has been transforming the lives of thousands of people through the creation of Manchester Bidwell, a jobs training center and community arts program. Working with corporations, community leaders, and schools, he and his staff strive to give disadvantaged kids and adults the opportunities and tools they need to envision and build a better, brighter future. Strickland believes that every one of us has the potential for remarkable achievement. Every one of us can accomplish the impossible in our lives if given the right inspiration and motivation to do so. We all make ourselves "poor" in one way or another when we accept that we are not smart enough, experienced enough, or talented enough to accomplish something. Bill Strickland works with the least advantaged among us, and if he can help them achieve the impossible in their lives, think what each of us can do. Through lessons from his own life experiences, and those of countless others who have overcome their circumstances and turned their lives around, Make the Impossible Possible shows how all of us can build on our passions and strengths, dream bigger and set the bar higher, achieve meaningful success and help mentor and inspire the lives of others. ungekürzt.

Choice: The Most Underutilized Asset in Wrestling: WrestlingU - Train Your Brain , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 33min
Have you ever wondered why two wrestlers can wrestle multiple times with drastically different results? Or why: Wrestler A beat wrestler B, Wrestler B beat wrestler C, But wrestler A lost to wrestler C? The answer is hidden in plain sight. Styles make matches. Choosing to create advantaged positions and avoid disadvantaged positions is the most underutilized strategic asset in wrestling. The wrestler who wrestles in his highest advantage position, for the longest time in the match, will have the greater probability of winning. That is the reason why two wrestlers wrestle multiple times with drastically different outcomes, and why the logic doesn't hold that if one wrestler beat another he should be able to beat the wrestler his prior opponent beat. If you watch and research matches between the same wrestler's you will see, more times than not, the reason there was a different outcome was because one wrestler was able to wrestle in his highest advantage position in one match and was not able to do so in the other. Your job is to understand which position is your most favorable matchup position versus your opponent. Where you have the greatest advantage. Where you have the highest probability of scoring points as quickly. And to get to that position. I believe, you don't get to that position by chance, I believe, you get to that position by choice. "Choice, not chance, determines your destiny" - Aristotle Choice is part of the WrestlingU Series - Train Your Brain A series dedicated to the wrestler who is looking to get to the next level. A wrestler who understands the value of training his mind along with his body. Each book in the series tackles and breaks down a key aspect of the sport of high school and collegiate wrestling ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Nicholas Wyatt.

Sir Ernest Shackleton: The Life and Legacy of the Legendary British Explorer and His Expeditions to Antarctica , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 72min
For scientific leadership, give me Scott; for swift and efficient travel, Amundsen; but when you are in a hopeless situation, when there seems to be no way out, get down on your knees and pray for Shackleton. - Sir Raymond Priestley Exploration of Earth's wilderness areas became an international obsession in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, as economically advantaged nations, in particular European powers and the United States were well equipped to mount exhaustive expeditions. From previously inaccessible forests and jungle country to the world's great mountain ranges, adventurers sought out the greatest extremes of climate and terrain in a race to plant the first flag where humanity struggled to survive. An earlier wave of explorers led to the opening of the New World, and early polar expeditions saw ancient ships of various nations sail along the coastlines of Greenland and within reach of the Arctic and Antarctic continents. Many 19th century figures approached the polar region with an eye to traversing it. Most notable among them was British explorer Sir James Clark Ross, who took the Erebus and the HMS Terror to the southernmost coastlines of the planet. Ross is probably the first explorer to realize that Antarctica was a continent and not just a large chain of islands, and he discovered the section of the shelf that was to become the Victoria Barrier. Asian nations also took part in Antarctic exploration when Nobu Shirase of Japan mounted his 1911 expedition, while Sir Edgeworth David, a Welsh-Australian, was the first person to successfully reach the summit of Mt. Erebus. Richard Evelyn Byrd is believed to be the first pilot to cross the Antarctic continent, and even well past the era of great polar expeditions, British figures such as Edmund Hillary, conqueror of Mt. Everest, made several expeditions to the South Pole. The era was universally dubbed the Heroic Age of Antarctic Exploration, but its greatest story did no ungekürzt. Language: English.

Camp, Hörbuch, Digital, 232min
For those who have been there, there is no forgetting the sounds and smells of summer camp: of dusty playing fields, platform tents, and wood cabins; of mist rising off the water at dawn and the sparks of a Sunday night campfire sailing up into a cold night sky. Now Michael D. Eisner shares a deeply personal memoir of his own experiences at one remarkable Vermont summer camp, of the life lessons he learned there and how they helped turned him into the man he is today. Camp is Eisner's ode to Keewaydin, a summer camp that was already a family tradition when he was a boy and that continues as a tradition today. As he recounts his experiences at Keewaydin, from his own first night away from home to his years as a counselor to an emotionally charged visit back as the father of a new generation of Keewaydin campers, Camp becomes a guide to growing up: learning to rely on yourself as you work in a team, competing to win but finding pride and growth in defeat, discovering the wonder of nature as well as the nature of the men and women who have gone before you. From a Saturday night dance at a nearby girls' camp to the portrait of Keewaydin's legendary leader, a strong young man in Eisner's youth and a proud octogenarian in his children's time, Michael D. Eisner shares anecdotes that are by turns heartwarming and hilarious, excruciating and tender. He talks about his family's commitment to helping less advantaged young people share Keewaydin's wonders, lifelong friendships that were forged there, and how moments from those summers return when he is hard at work in Hollywood or alone with his wife or children. A rare glimpse into the inner life of an American corporate executive, Camp is an important personal chronicle of success: the kind of success that a child can find in a remote corner of the Vermont woods, and never ever leave behind.
