Parenthood by Proxy: Don't Have Them If You Won't Raise Them, Hörbuch, Digital, 141min
Children's welfare is the driving force behind Dr. Laura Schlessinger's mission. A devoted mother to her son, Deryk, she identifies herself as her "kid's mom" because that is her most important job. Never one to shy away from tough truths, Dr. Laura marshals compelling evidence for the widespread neglect of America's children and convincingly condemns the numerous rationalizations to excuse it. In Parenthood by Proxy, Dr. Laura urges parents to make their own children top priority and to change their lives, if necessary, to do so. In her inimitable, straight-shooting style, Dr. Laura entreats parents to involve themselves in their children's hearts, minds, and souls, to cherish and protect them, and to commit to the essential tast of teaching them right from wrong. She acknowledges that parents don't get much support today from neighbors or public and private institutions, but she urges mothers and fathers to work even harder to counteract the prevailing culture of selfishness and irresponsibility. Parenthood by Proxy covers all aspects of parenting, from childbearing to discipline, from multiple families to being role models. Dr. Laura also tackles such cultural and societal concerns as abortion, modern sexuality, drug and alcohol use, violence, accountability, and a child's right to privacy. Parenthood by Proxy is a passionate and provocative summation of the perils of parenting and a road map to safety for America's families. Language: English. Narrator: Dr. Laura Schlessinger.

Heroes Proved , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 856min
A globe-spanning, heart-pounding epic thriller of good vs. evil, political intrigue, and what it means to be a patriot - from New York Times best-selling author Oliver North. The year is 2032. The NRA has been outlawed; the U.S. military has been gutted; Conservative Christians, dubbed ANARKS, have been labeled a global conspiracy and have been largely driven underground. The Caliphate is now a superpower, residing in Israel. The White House is occupied by a repressive Progressive regime, obsessed with the upcoming presidential election. Then, the kidnapping of an MIT physicist who is privy to sensitive scientific information from a Houston energy conference by Islamic terrorists sets in motion a high-stakes international game of cat and mouse. Peter Newman, security consultant and former decorated war hero, is determined to rescue the scientist. The president, fearful that her reelection will be endangered by the reemergence of terrorism, will stop at nothing to keep the kidnapping a secret. The White House condemns the kidnapping as the work of ANARKS, and has the authorities label Newman an ANARK. Newman is forced to evade the law while also preparing a daring rescue with the help of his war hero father, a patriotic U.S. senator, and a band of special forces operatives. Fast-paced, gripping, and filled with authentic detail, North has crafted an edge-of-your-seat tale - and offers an ominous look into what can happen in an election year. ungekürzt.

Vikings: A Concise History of the Vikings , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 81min
From the invasion of Britain to the siege of Paris, the Viking age is indeed one of the most tumultuous and formative periods of European history. But what of the forces behind the seismic raids and explorations? What of the ingenious craftsmanship behind the longboats that were beyond their time? Often, a farrago of myths and facts continues to portray a rather foggy image of the Vikings; but could the Vikings truly be the savage seafarers that history condemns them to be? Inside you will learn about: The Raids and Settlements of the Vikings Siege of Paris The Viking Dress Code Viking Homes The Viking Age and Music The Viking Longship The Social Landscape of the Vikings Ragnar Lodbrok Erik Thorvaldsson Bjorn Ironside Harald Hardrada Odin Thor Loki Frey (Freyr) Freyja (Freya) And much more! This book provides a balanced and riveting account of the Viking age—from its dawn to dusk. Without white washing the savagery of the Vikings, it chronicles the many raids that were undertaken. It also presents another view point of these fascinating people. Employing the latest archaeological finds and various sources, it paints a different yet factual picture of the Vikings. The book delves into the many cultural aspects of the society: religion—the Nordic gods—social structure, cloth, house and much besides. Their celebrated ship architecture is discussed at length, myths are debunked, legends are deliberated—many facets of this epoch are dilated in detail. ungekürzt. Language: English.

Historical Thinking and Other Unnatural Acts: Charting the Future of Teaching the Past: Critical Perspectives On The Past , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 624min
Since ancient times, the pundits have lamented young people's lack of historical knowledge and warned that ignorance of the past surely condemns humanity to repeating its mistakes. In the contemporary United States, this dire outlook drives a contentious debate about what key events, nations, and people are essential for history students. Sam Wineburg says that we are asking the wrong questions. This audiobook demolishes the conventional notion that there is one true history and one best way to teach it. Although most of us think of history - and learn it - as a conglomeration of facts, dates, and key figures, for professional historians it is a way of knowing, a method for developing an understanding about the relationships of people and events in the past. A cognitive psychologist, Wineburg has been engaged in studying what is intrinsic to historical thinking, how it might be taught, and why most students still adhere to the 'one damned thing after another' concept of history. Whether he is comparing how students and historians interpret documentary evidence or analyzing children's drawings, Wineburg's essays offer 'rough maps of how ordinary people think about the past and use it to understand the present.' Arguing that we all absorb lessons about history in many settings - in kitchen table conversations, at the movies, or on the world-wide web, for instance - these essays acknowledge the role of collective memory in filtering what we learn in school and shaping our historical thinking. ungekürzt.

Parenthood by Proxy: Don't Have Them If You Won't Raise Them , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 587min
Following her previous New York Times best sellers, Dr. Laura Schlessinger, the conscience of talk radio, now addresses an issue near and dear to her heart: the stupid things parents do to mess up their children. Never one to shy away from tough truths, Dr. Laura marshals compelling evidence for the widespread neglect of America's children and convincingly condemns the numerous rationalizations to excuse it. These are just a few of her hard-hitting points: Don't have them if you won't raise them: "The cavalier manner in which our society treats child care, not as a matter of intimacy and love but as a matter of convenience and economics, is deeply destructive to our children's sense of attachment, identity, and importance." Dads need not apply: "Single motherhood may be more acceptable to society, but it is not acceptable to children, nor is it in their best interest." Brave new baby: "In our society reproductive freedom means anyone can decide to create a life by any means with no, and I mean no, consideration of what is in the best interest of that new human being." Spare the rod: "Children without discipline often become adults with temper tantrums, defiance, rage, depression, anxiety, poor school and work adjustment, and drug and alcohol abuse." Parenthood by Proxy covers all aspects of parenting and tackles such cultural and societal concerns as abortion, modern sexuality, drug and alcohol use, violence, discipline, and a child's right to privacy. ungekürzt.

If You Knew This One Thing You Could Know and Do Everything: Undeniable Truths , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 123min
Consciousnesses, life, the universe, are expressed through vibratory frequencies. These vibrations move in accordance with thought and beliefs and reach sub-human to celestial frequencies. William G. Baker, a renowned explorer and author of higher awareness in consciousness, makes undeniable truths easily understandable using formulas and examples that raises vibratory frequencies to levels above the physical plane, where all physical laws become subservient to this higher vibration. Desires, health, past events, and understanding are either instantly or rapidly experienced. The raw materials to create our bodies can be metaphorically purchased at a hardware store. But what can't be purchased is the real you - the consciousness and mind that together make your body function. The real you and your body are separate entities. The body is physical; that is, a body condemns us to the laws of nature and physics. But if it is comprehended that we are our consciousness, mind, intelligent information, and energy; not our bodies, then we are able to live our lives in higher laws of vibrations. By having ourselves in these higher laws of vibrations, the physical world's lower laws of vibrations become secondary. It is in this way that all desires can be instantly fulfilled, that past events can be changed, that health can be renewed, that one can experience any aspect of life, and that one can cross through the thin veil of death and see life the same there as here. It is not forbidden. From Yellow Bonnet publishing, William G. Baker has published the ultimate world-renowned self-help book. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Dan McGowan.
