    How to Be Parisian: Wherever You Are , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 188min
    How to Be Parisian brilliantly deconstructs the French woman's views on culture, fashion and attitude. Bohemian freethinkers and iconoclasts Anne Berest, Caroline De Maigret, Audrey Diwan and Sophie Mas cut through the myths in this gorgeous, witty guide to Parisienne savoir faire. These modern Parisiennes say what you don't expect to hear, just the way you want to hear it. They are not against smoking in bed and all for art, politics and culture, making everything look easy and going against the grain. They will take you on a first date, to a party and through a hangover. They will tell you how to be mysterious and sensual, how to make your boyfriend jealous and the right way to approach weddings and the gym, and they will share their address book in Paris for where to go at the end of the night, for a birthday, for a smart date, for vintage finds and much more.Full of wit and self-deprecating humour, How to Be Parisian explains those confusing subjects of clothes, makeup, men, culture and lifestyle as only a true Parisienne can.  ungekürzt.

    The Myth of the Nice Girl: Achieving a Career You Love Without Becoming a Person You Hate , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 351min
    A candid guide for ambitious women who want to succeed without losing themselves in the process In The Myth of the Nice Girl, Fran Hauser deconstructs the negative perception of "niceness" that many women struggle with in the business world. If women are nice, they are seen as weak and ineffective, but if they are tough, they are labeled a bitch. Hauser proves that women don't have to sacrifice their values or hide their authentic personalities to be successful. Sharing a wealth of personal anecdotes and time-tested strategies, she shows women how to reclaim "nice" and sidestep regressive stereotypes about what a strong leader looks like. Her accessible advice and hard-won wisdom detail how to balance being empathetic with being decisive, how to rise above the double standards that can box you in, how to cultivate authentic confidence that projects throughout a room, and much more. The Myth of the Nice Girl is a refreshing dose of forward-looking feminism that will resonate with smart, professional women who know what they want and are looking for real advice to take their careers to the next level without losing themselves in the process. ungekürzt.

    The Phoney Victory: The World War II Illusion , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 500min
    Was World War II really the 'Good War'? In the years since the declaration of peace in 1945, many myths have sprung up around the conflict in the victorious nations. In this audiobook, Peter Hitchens deconstructs the many fables which have become associated with the narrative of the 'Good War'. Whilst not criticising or doubting the need for war against Nazi Germany at some stage, Hitchens does query whether September 1939 was the right moment or the independence of Poland the right issue. He points out that in the summer of 1939 Britain and France were wholly unprepared for a major European war and that this quickly became apparent in the conflict that ensued. He also rejects the retroactive claim that Britain went to war in 1939 to save the Jewish population of Europe. On the contrary, the beginning and intensification of war made it easier for Germany to begin the policy of mass murder in secret as well as closing most escape routes. In a provocative but deeply researched book, Hitchens questions the most common assumptions surrounding World War II, turning on its head the myth of Britain's role in a 'Good War'. ungekürzt.

    The War on Cops: How the New Attack on Law and Order Makes Everyone Less Safe , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 561min
    Violent crime has been rising sharply in many American cities after two decades of decline. Homicides jumped nearly 17 percent in 2015 in the largest 50 cities, the biggest one-year increase since 1993. The reason is what Heather Mac Donald first identified nationally as the "Ferguson effect": Since the 2014 police shooting death of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri, officers have been backing off of proactive policing, and criminals are becoming emboldened. This book expands on Mac Donald's groundbreaking reporting on the Ferguson effect. It deconstructs the central narrative of the Black Lives Matter movement: that racist cops are the greatest threat to young black males. The War on Cops exposes the truth about officer use of force and explodes the conceit of "mass incarceration". A rigorous analysis of data shows that crime, not race, drives police actions and prison rates. The growth of proactive policing in the 1990s, along with lengthened sentences for violent crime, saved thousands of minority lives. In fact, Mac Donald argues, no government agency is more dedicated to the proposition that "black lives matter" than today's data-driven, accountable police department. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    Bridget Christie Minds the Gap: Series 2, Hörbuch, Digital, 110min
    The complete second series of Bridget Christie’s award-winning series about modern feminism.  Bridget thought that she'd be able to put her feet up after her last Radio 4 series. She expected it to bomb. Sadly, it was a huge success and she's had to bang on about feminism ever since, perform two sell-out runs at the Edinburgh festival and win lots of awards. But she hasn't managed to single-handedly eradicate sexism so she's made a whole new four-part series about it for Radio 4.  In this series, Bridget asks who has the best sexism in the world, deconstructs a yogurt advert, and discusses why twitter is a sexist's natural habitat. She explains what happens when you wear an 'End FGM' badge on a popular TV show, and tries to find a feminist icon who doesn't want to replace the word 'feminism' with 'bootylicious'.  Series 1 of Mind the Gap won the Rose D’Or International Broadcasting Award for Best Radio Comedy 2014 and the Chortle Award for Best Radio Series 2014. Series 2 won the Chortle Award for Best Radio Programme 2015.  Produced by Alexandra Smith and Alison Vernon Smith. Image credit: Idil Sukan   Language: English. Narrator: Bridget Christie.

    Expropriation: The Encounter , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 166min
    When a group of campers go on a scheduled work retreat in the dense, shady beauty of Colorado’s national park, they have no reason to expect anything other than what was advertised. Little do they know that an unidentified flying object has gone down over The Rockies and there is much to yet be discovered.  In the middle of their largely unwilling trip, the group winds up having a chance encounter. When the Secret Service becomes involved through a series of reports, and seeing as the craft leaves no means of remote tracking, a full-blown investigation begins as the initial hikers give way to a newly formed team of military and civilian personnel.  But, they end up being in for more than they had in mind and things start to turn deadly as the search for the UFO becomes a race against time, space and matter.  Desperate to connect all the pieces of the puzzle as it deconstructs before their eyes, the team soon learns that not everyone is as they appear  Follow the story through greed, betrayal, and confusion as they unmask the menace. Can they prevent a bleak future or is the fate of the earth in the hands of someone else entirely?  ungekürzt.

    Politics Lost: How American Democracy Was Trivialized by People Who Think You're Stupid, Hörbuch, Digital, 301min
    People on the right are furious. People on the left are livid. And the center isn't holding. There is only one thing on which almost everyone agrees: there is something very wrong in Washington. The country is being run by pollsters. Few politicians are able to win the voters' trust. Blame abounds and personal responsibility is nowhere to be found. There is a cynicism in Washington that appalls those in every state, red or blue. The question is: Why? The more urgent question is: What can be done about it? Few people are more qualified to deal with both questions than Joe Klein. He has spent a lifetime enmeshed in politics, studying its nuances, its quirks, and its decline. He is as angry and fed up as the rest of us, so he has decided to do something about it; in these pages, he vents, reconstructs, deconstructs, and reveals how and why our leaders are less interested in leading than they are in the "permanent campaign" that political life has become. In the fascinating conclusion, the author give thoughtful solutions that just may get us out of this mess, especially if any of the 2008 candidates happen to be paying attention. Language: English.

    The Future of Mental Health: Deconstructing the Mental Disorder Paradigm , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 627min
    The Future of Mental Health drills to the heart of the current mental health crisis, where hundreds of millions of individuals worldwide receive unwarranted "mental disorder" diagnoses. It paints a picture of how mental health providers can improve their practices to better serve individuals in distress and outlines necessary steps for a mental health revolution. Eric Maisel's goal is to inject more human interaction into the therapeutic process. Maisel powerfully deconstructs the "mental disorder" paradigm that is the foundation of current mental health practices. The author presents a revolutionary alternative, a "human experience" paradigm. He sheds a bright light on the differences between so-called "psychiatric medication" and mere chemicals with powerful effects and explains why the DSM-5 is silent on causes, silent on treatment, and wedded to illegitimate "symptom pictures". Maisel describes powerful helping alternatives like communities of care and explains why one day "human experience specialists" may replace current mental health professionals. An important book for both service providers and service users, The Future of Mental Health brilliantly unmasks current mental health practices and goes an important step further: It describes what we are obliged to do in order to secure better mental health services - and better mental health. ungekürzt.
