Lost Kingdom: The Quest for Empire and the Making of the Russian Nation , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 962min

From a preeminent scholar of Eastern Europe, a new history of Russian imperialism In 2014, Russia annexed the Crimea and attempted to seize a portion of Ukraine. While the world watched in outrage, this blatant violation of national sovereignty was only the latest iteration of a centuries-long effort to expand Russian boundaries and create a pan-Russian nation. In Lost Kingdom, award-winning historian Serhii Plokhy argues that we can understand the confluence of Russian imperialism and nationalism today only by delving into the nation's history. Spanning over 500 years, from the end of the Mongol rule to the present day, Plokhy shows how leaders from Ivan the Terrible to Joseph Stalin to Vladimir Putin exploited existing forms of identity, warfare, and territorial expansion to achieve imperial supremacy. An authoritative and masterful account of Russian nationalism, Lost Kingdom chronicles the story behind Russia's belligerent empire-building quest. ungekürzt. Language: English.

Thoughts Out of Season by Friedrich Nietzsche - The Complete Work Plus an Overview, Summary, Analysis and Author Biography , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 725min

Thoughts Out of Season is a collection of paramount importance consisting of four notable essays written between 1873 and 1876. All four essays review 19th-century German culture in an incisive and acute manner. It is a work of acerbic criticism toward contemporary pseudoscholars who Nietzsche calls Philistines and towards the blatant abuse of history. At the same time it constitutes an encomium to Wagner's ingenious artistic and creative nature and to Schopenhauer's unique perspective of the cosmos. A fifth essay was also written as a meditation to the discipline of philology, yet it was not published. This summary includes a biography, a review of every chapter of each essay, and ample explanation of the social and historical background. It is a must-hear synopsis and analysis of this substantial work of Nietzsche, imperative for all students of philosophy or all those who want to familiarize themselves with the magnificent spirit of that great philosopher of the 19th century. ungekürzt.

Mavericks, Money, and Men: The AFL, Black Players, and the Evolution of Modern Football , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 372min

The American Football League, established in 1960, was innovative both in its commitment to finding talented, overlooked players - particularly those who played for historically black colleges and universities - and in the decision by team owners to share television revenues. In Mavericks, Money and Men, football historian Charles Ross chronicles the AFL's key events, including Buck Buchanan becoming the first overall draft pick in 1963, and the 1965 boycott led by black players who refused to play in the AFL All Star game after experiencing blatant racism. He also recounts how the success of the AFL forced a merger with the NFL in 1969, which arguably facilitated the evolution of modern professional football. Ross shows how the league, originally created as a challenge to the dominance of the NFL, pressured for and ultimately accelerated the racial integration of pro football and also allowed the sport to adapt to how African Americans were themselves changing the game. The book is published by Temple University Press. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Jim Woods. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/070069/bk_acx0_070069_sample.mp3.

Faction Paradox: Shadow Play, Hörbuch, Digital, 65min

Primer for the Spiral Politic (Postwar Edition) 2: The Sontarans. Era: Last thirteen million years. Technology: Military (blatant), limited time-awareness. It’s perhaps unwise to think of the Sontarans as a species, as such. A homunculus breed hatched by the million and engineered for full-engagement warfare, the Sontaran military machine is regarded by many time-active cultures as an “occupational hazard”: a force of nature rather than a race, compelled by duty and genetics to acquire new technologies for its endless war effort. It should be remembered, however, that with the backing of a higher power even the crudest of breeds can become something quite different. Written by Lawrence Miles. Directed by Nigel Fairs. Postproduction and music by Nigel Fairs. Produced by Bill Baggs. Cast: Suzanne Proctor (Cousin Justine), Ellis Pike (Godfather Morlock), Caroline Burns-Cook (Lolita), Emma Kilbey (Cousin Eliza / Godmother Quelch), Nigel Fairs (Lord Ruthven / General Kine), Linda Bartram (The Voice).

We Should All Be Feminists

A personal and powerful essay from Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, the bestselling author of 'Americanah' and 'Half of a Yellow Sun', based on her 2013 TEDx Talk of the same name. What does "feminism" mean today? That is the question at the heart of We Should All Be Feminists, a personal, eloquently-argued essay - adapted from her much-viewed Tedx talk of the same name - by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, the award-winning author of 'Americanah' and 'Half of a Yellow Sun'. With humour and levity, here Adichie offers readers a unique definition of feminism for the twenty-first century - one rooted in inclusion and awareness. She shines a light not only on blatant discrimination, but also the more insidious, institutional behaviours that marginalise women around the world, in order to help readers of all walks of life better understand the often masked realities of sexual politics. Throughout, she draws extensively on her own experiences - in the U.S., in her native Nigeria - offering an artfully nuanced explanation of why the gender divide is harmful for women and men, alike. Argued in the same observant, witty and clever prose that has made Adichie a best-selling novelist, here is one remarkable author's exploration of what it means to be a woman today - and an of-the-moment rallying cry for why we should all be feminists.
