Shattered: Inside Hillary Clinton's Doomed Campaign , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 1012min
It was never supposed to be this close. And of course she was supposed to win. How Hillary Clinton lost the 2016 election to Donald Trump is the tragic story of a sure thing gone off the rails. For every Comey revelation or hindsight acknowledgment about the electorate, no explanation of defeat can begin with anything other than the core problem of Hillary's campaign - the candidate herself. Through deep access to insiders from the top to the bottom of the campaign, political writers Jonathan Allen and Amie Parnes have reconstructed the key decisions and unseized opportunities, the well-intentioned misfires and the hidden thorns that turned a winnable contest into a devastating loss. Drawing on the authors' deep knowledge of Hillary from their previous book, the acclaimed biography HRC, Shattered will offer an object lesson in how Hillary herself made victory an uphill battle, how her difficulty articulating a vision irreparably hobbled her impact with voters, and how the campaign failed to internalize the lessons of populist fury from the hard-fought primary against Bernie Sanders. Moving blow by blow from the campaign's difficult birth through the bewildering terror of election night, Shattered tells an unforgettable story with urgent lessons both political and personal, filled with revelations that will change the way listeners understand just what happened to America on November 8, 2016. ungekürzt.

For Their Own Cause: The 27th United States Colored Troops , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 833min
The 27th United States Colored Troops (USCT), composed largely of free black Ohio men, served in the Union army from April 1864 to September 1865 in Virginia and North Carolina. It was the first time most members of the unit had traveled so far from home. The men faced daily battles against racism and inferior treatment, training, and supplies. They suffered from the physical difficulties of military life, the horrors of warfare, and homesickness and worried about loved ones left at home without financial support. Yet, their contributions provided a tool that allowed blacks - with little military experience - and their families to demand social acceptance and acknowledgment of their citizenship.Their service did not end when their enlistment was over. After the men of the 27th returned to Ohio, they and their families sought full access to the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments and compensatory citizenship rights for their collective sacrifice. Despite their constant battle against racism, this public behavior benefited the men and their families. It also meant that the African American role in the Union victory remained part of local community remembrance and commemoration. As a result, the experiences of these men from the 27th USCT gave the late 19th-century Ohio black community legitimate hopes for access to equal civil and social rights for all.The book is published by The Kent State University Press.

Christmas Poetry , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 60min
Christmas, they say, comes but once a year. In these days, it seems to also last for much of that year - but this volume is not just for Christmas!For the religious amongst us, this annual celebration of the Birth of Christ must seem bitter sweet: it's acknowledgment by billions of people, countered by the pervasive spread of material possessions translating the event to little more than a sales pitch for material wares. Most religions celebrate their founders, but Christianity seems somehow to have lost possession of one of its key rituals in an ever more secular West. The spread of globalisation seems to have hindered rather than helped the true meaning of the festival. Children today are much more interested in what presents they might receive than any spiritual message. As parents too, most of us buy into this and indulge our offspring rather than instil the underlying themes and aims of the festival's meaning common to us all.In this collection, we rely on the words and wisdom of such fine poets as John Milton, Emily Dickinson, Sir Walter Scott, Daniel Sheehan, William Wordsworth, Robert Louis Stevenson, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, Samuel Taylor Coleridge, and a whole host of others to absorb us in a Christmas time of hope and togetherness. The experiences and memories they share with us speak of a time, of a world that did have a common purpose and an ambition to share good fortune with everyone. ungekürzt. Language: English.

Developing a Kingdom Mind-Set: Learning to Think Like Our King , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 138min
In the natural world, the process of appropriating a place for ones own use involves planning, organization, and strategies for implementation. Getting to know the people, language, and culture is a valuable asset for effective communication. Possibly the greatest need in succeeding is the provision of a leader to act or speak on behalf of the new government. A person who is knowledgeable of the government and loyal to its king would be an ideal candidate. The key here seems to be an acknowledgment of and commitment to the process.We first see the process of colonization as God's choice to make earth an extension of heaven - the place created for him. God is a spirit, and therefore, we understand that he lives in a spiritual place. It is invisible. The extension, however, is visible. It is a garden given to his creation, humankind, with instructions.There is evidence that socialization, education, empowerment, and complementary relationships are parts of the preparation process of those who are made representatives of heaven's government. God's design for teaching humankind to think like he thinks is the perfect blue-print.It seems that as believers, children of God, and kingdom citizens, we have not completed the process. We must move from being believers to kingdom representatives. We must learn to think like our king, which will be reflected in our behavior. Having developed a kingdom mind-set, we must then help other believers experience the process. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Tom Bauer.

The Serious Business of Small Talk: Becoming Fluent, Comfortable, and Charming , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 318min
Small talk is the single most important communication skill you can develop. Carol Fleming wants to show you that small talk is not as “small” as you might think. It’s the foundation of every relationship, professional and personal. It is the sound of people reaching out to each other, searching for similarities, shared interests, goodwill, connections, and friendship. And it’s something we all do every day with people we know. It’s just the one little bit about strangers that throws some people off. Graceful social conversation can be learned, even by those requiring the smallest of baby steps. Fleming covers the inner and outer aspects - from the right attitude to how to dress, move around, and introduce yourself. Most importantly, she lays out a series of simple, memorable conversational strategies that make it easy to go from “Nice weather we’re having” to a genuine, rewarding give-and-take. But she won’t tell you what to say. Believe it or not, you already have what you need inside you. She merely provides the keys to unlock it. Small talk is the language of welcome, the extension of friendliness, the gracious acknowledgment of others, the kindly exchange of introductions and smiles, and the creation of a safe, courteous social space - and this is what has you terrified? After you listen to this audiobook, you’ll wonder what all the fuss was about. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Carol Fleming, Pamela Lorence, Keith Norton.

Mental Health and College Students: Mental Health Challenges Facing Students in College , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 28min
This book contains proven steps and strategies on how to identify the signs and symptoms of test stress and tension in college students. It is neither a misrepresentation, nor is it a shock, to say that there is a mental health emergency today confronting college students. Research has shown that college students have more levels of anxiety than ever before in the country's history. The acknowledgment of the emergency is documented in reports while trying to understand the extent of the issue. It is a reality we should know about, even though the symptoms are hard to notice. College advisers have focused on student's mental health on school campuses; it is good to point out their point of view. As reported by the Association for University and College Counseling Center, 95% of school advisers reported the quantity of undergrads with critical mental issues is a developing worry on school campuses. Seventy percent of the advisors trust that the quantity of undergrads with extreme mental issues has expanded since the previous year. Anxiety, stress, and tension are a very common human emotion. However, it can reach an extreme condition during college years and can be considered as mental illness. It has several negative impacts on the body, mind, and soul of a person. As a result, that person faces various problems, such as lack of concentration, that may lead to having to repeat a class or dropping out of college. ungekürzt. Language: English.
