    How the World Thinks: A Global History of Philosophy , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 763min
    All cultures are different and have different ways of thinking. In How the World Thinks, Julian Baggini travels the globe to provide a hugely wide-ranging map of human thought. He shows us how distinct branches of philosophy flowered simultaneously in China, India and Ancient Greece, growing from local myths and stories - and how contemporary cultural attitudes, with particular attention to the West, East Asia, the Muslim World and Africa, have developed out of the philosophical histories of their regions. Interviewing thinkers from all around the world, he asks why, for instance, do our European systems of governments and justice differ so widely from the East? Why can Islam not easily incorporate secular knowledge? How do we understand China? By gaining greater knowledge of how others think, we can become less certain of the knowledge we think we have, the first step to greater understanding. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    Blood of the Demon: Kara Gillian, Book 2 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 708min
    Between heaven and hell, man and demon, she's about to face the one thing she may not be able to survive. Welcome to the world of Kara Gillian, a cop with a gift. Not only does she have the power of "othersight" to see what most people can’t even imagine, but she’s become the exclusive summoner of a demon lord. Or maybe it’s the other way around. The fact is, with two troublesome cases on her docket and a handsome FBI agent under her skin, Kara needs the help of sexy, insatiable Lord Rhyzkahl more than he needs her. Because these two victims, linked by suspicious coincidence, haven’t just been murdered. Something has eaten their souls. It’s a case with roots in the arcane, but whose evil has flowered among the rich, powerful, and corrupt in Beaulac, Louisiana. And as the killings continue, Kara soon realizes how much there is still to learn about demons, men, and things that kill in the night - and how little time she has to learn it. ungekürzt.

    The Eternal Man: Ancient Aliens and Human Evolution , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 473min
    Are we older and wiser than we know? Why must humanity and its history necessarily be young? Why do we impose this ideological limitation when there is so much evidence for mankind's perpetual recurrence? Is there any proof that any cultures are irrevocably mortal?   There are cultures that apparently flowered for thousands of years. Some of the cultures that we call primitive have already existed for so long that they seem to have no beginning and no end. Could they actually be immortal?   Might not the truth be that during past ages, man has often tried to climb the rungs of the ladder that lead to a high immortal culture but has slipped and fallen? Perhaps we are even now in the process of building a culture that will know immortality on Earth and in heaven.   Perhaps within the cynical, doom-ridden attitudes fashionable today lie the seeds of imagination needed to see the possibilities of a "plastic" reality, where photons can - through observation - bend to our collective will. ungekürzt.

    A Miracle in Shreveport: The All Nations Team , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 21min
    We were lucky to make it out of Shreveport alive on that early spring day in 1917. "At noon, before the first game of our doubleheader, my All Nations team was taking batting practice, and as usual, I was studying the crowd. The people fascinated me: all those life stories that I'd never get a chance to hear, like that old colored man smiling and singing to himself next to his stern, frowning wife in her flowered hat, or the two white women with their cigarettes and exposed ankles. I was amazed by it all, though we never stayed in a place long enough to learn about anyone or anything more than the game and its players." A story of the first truly integrated baseball team, decades before Jackie Robinson, set during the early years of World War I. Magic, miracles, and more... A Miracle in Shreveport was first published in Electric Velocipede, May 2007, and it also garnered an Honorable Mention in the Year's Best Science Fiction vol. 25. This story is part of the novel The All Nations Team. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Robert Slone. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/009082/bk_acx0_009082_sample.mp3.

    Darwin , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 140min
    In 1831, a young man set off from England to collect specimens and see the world. When he finally returned five years later, he brought with him the seed of a theory so explosive that he feared to tell it even to his wife: that separate species were not static things created by the hand of God, but were instead shaped by natural selection into ever more complex forms. In this compact, highly listenable new biography, Alexander Kennedy explores how Charles Darwin evolved alongside his theories, from a diffident failed clergyman to one of the greatest thinkers in human history. Kennedy insightfully probes Darwin's childhood and young adulthood for the roots of his genius, and shows how his ideas finally flowered into the theory of natural selection, the basis of all modern biology. Darwin demonstrates how Darwin's concepts not only changed his own life and the world at large, but still continue to shape the science - and the controversies - of our own lives today. "A man who dares to waste one hour of time has not discovered the value of life." - Charles Darwin ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Jim D Johnston.

    Occidental Mythology: The Masks of God, Volume III , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 1277min
    Explore the power of myth as it flowered in the ancient Near East and the Classical WorldIn this third volume of The Masks of God - Joseph Campbell’s major work of comparative mythology - the preeminent mythologist looks at the pagan religions of Greece, Rome, and the Celts, as well as the Abrahamic religions - Zoroastrianism, Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. Exploring the West’s shift from female-centered to male-centered mythology, Campbell examines the distinguishing characteristics and the shared root concepts of these mythologies. The Masks of God is a four-volume study of world religion and myth that stands as one of Joseph Campbell’s masterworks. On completing it, he wrote: “Its main result for me has been the confirmation of a thought I have long and faithfully entertained: of the unity of the race of man, not only in its biology, but also in its spiritual history, which has everywhere unfolded in the manner of a single symphony, with its themes announced, developed, amplified and turned about, distorted, reasserted, and today, in a grand fortissimo of all sections sounding together, irresistibly advancing to some kind of mighty climax, out of which the next great movement will emerge.” ungekürzt.

    Nine Parts of Desire: The Hidden World of Islamic Women , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 613min
    Nine Parts of Desire: The Hidden World of Islamic Women is the story of Brooks’ intrepid journey toward an understanding of the women behind the veils, and of the often contradictory political, religious, and cultural forces that shape their lives. In fundamentalist Iran, Brooks finagles an invitation to tea with the ayatollah’s widow—and discovers that Mrs. Khomeini dyes her hair. In Saudi Arabia, she eludes the severe segregation of the sexes and attends a bacchanal, laying bare the hypocrisy of this austere, male-dominated society. In war-torn Ethiopia, she watches as a female gynecologist repairs women who have undergone genital mutilation justified by a distorted interpretation of Islam. In villages and capitals throughout the Middle East, she finds that a feminism of sorts has flowered under the forbidding shroud of the chador as she makes other startling discoveries that defy our stereotypes about the Muslim world. Nine Parts of Desire is much more than a captivating work of firsthand reportage; it is also an acute analysis of the world’s fastest-growing religion, deftly illustrating how Islam’s holiest texts have been misused to justify the repression of women. It was, after all, the Shiite leader Ali who proclaimed that “God created sexual desire in ten parts, then gave nine parts to women.” ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Geraldine Brooks.
