The Maintenance of Empire, Hörbuch, Digital, 6min
British statesman Benjamin Disraeli delivered this commanding speech in 1872. His imperialistic ideals informed his Conservative political platform as he advocated for maintaining the British Empire. He asked his audience if they were content to be a “comfortable England,” or if they preferred the glory of remaining “a great country - an imperial country - a country where your sons, when they rise, rise to paramount positions, and obtain not merely the esteem of their countrymen, but command the respect of the world.” Listen to Disraeli’s stirring words for yourself to see how the British majority felt swayed by his talk of greatness.

Genetic basis of salt tolerance in wheat
Salinity stress remains one of the world's oldest andthe most serious environmental problem, whichsubstantially hampers crop productivity in many aridand semi arid regions. Several reclamation measureslike additions of gypsum, sulphur and sulphuric acidto soils, and construction of wells and drainagecanals to reduce concentrations of salts in rootzones had been advocated and used by many nations.However, these practices were discontinued due toescalating energy costs. The development of salttolerant crop cultivars presents a possiblealternative to expensive engineering approaches tobring saline lands under cultivation. The success ofdevelopment of salt tolerant crop cultivars dependsupon prebreeding research on the presence of geneticvariation and its inheritance pattern. The presentbook, therefore, provides methodologies and analysesto examine the magnitude of genetic variation forsalinity tolerance and its genetic basis in Triticumaestivum L.- Shop: buecher

John F. Kennedy , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 28min
President John F. Kennedy, the first Catholic elected as the nation’s chief executive, tried to dodge politically sensitive issues, maintaining a cautious, moderate approach. Yet, try as he might, JFK was unable to maintain such a position toward civil rights. After riots by segregationists and the murder of innocent blacks in the Deep South, President Kennedy abandoned his cautious posture and advocated sweeping civil rights reform. An assassin’s bullet cut his life and presidency short, changing the national mood and laying the foundation for the greatest civil rights revolution since the Civil War. Thus, JFK may have accomplished in death what had eluded him during his crisis-filled presidency. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Sean Runnette.

Latin American Revolutionaries: The Life and Legacy of Che Guevara , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 101min
Ernesto Guevara de la Serna, known to the world as Che, has led two lives. In the first of these lives, the Argentine-born revolutionary was a remarkable and flawed doctor-turned-guerilla who left behind a highly controversial political legacy. In the second, he was - and is - first and foremost an image. Specifically, he is one particular image in which he appears as a wavy-haired, bearded young man with a beret and an intense gaze. The photograph, entitled Guerrillero Heroico and taken on March 5, 1960, by Cuban photographer Alberto Korda, is said to be the most reproduced image in the history of photography. Although Che's face, as captured by Korda, first achieved its global iconic status during the student revolts of the 1960s, it has subsequently reappeared again and again as a branding device for a wide array of products. Korda himself brought a copyright lawsuit against Smirnoff Vodka for using Guerillero Heroico in an advertising campaign, and since Korda's 2001 death his daughter has gone to court with several other companies. There is little market for the type of revolution that Che advocated and pursued, but the aura of rebellion that his image exudes still carries a notable sway. The current status of Che Guevara, then, is paradoxical. The political platform he advocated as a communist revolutionary has been almost universally repudiated and only maintains a weak hold even in Cuba, the country where he exercised the greatest impact. The violent struggles he spearheaded in the Congo and Bolivia look at best quixotic and at worst foolish and pointlessly destructive. Yet Che is in no danger of being forgotten, mainly due to the persistent appeal of a decontextualized image. Most ironically of all, his image is frequently deployed to the direct economic benefit of the kinds of multinational corporations whose power he hoped to obliterate. ungekürzt. Language: English.

Grassroots Philanthropy: Field Notes of a Maverick Grantmaker , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 246min
Bill Somerville believes that foundations can do a better job—and Grassroots Philanthropy explains how. Endless paperwork, bureaucracy, and beleaguered foundation heads bog down many bold new ventures. The “cowboy approach”, advocated by Bill Somerville, encourages philanthropists to actively engage with the community, meet people who are doing extraordinary things, and fund those in need quickly—with a minimum of process and paperwork. This is an illuminating book for those in the foundation and nonprofit worlds alike. With an unprecedented transfer of generational wealth expected over the next half-century, it is also a call to the upcoming generation of philanthropists to step up and use their wealth to ensure that real change happens quickly and creatively. ungekürzt.
