The Price of Liberty , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 528min
It's a new day in America - but old contracts must still be paid - Jack McEnroe is a construction worker with an unusual job: building a prison for terrorists. Like his neighbors in Red Rock, Wyoming, Jack isn't particularly concerned about politics. In a depressed rural economy, he's just grateful to have a job. Jack's boss, Dave Fetters, is grateful, too: he has a no-bid, cost-plus contract issued by the previous administration. It's his last chance to get rich, and he's making the most of it. But Dave is cooking the books, passing inflated costs along to defense contractor Halcyon Corporation - and Jack's ex-wife, Kyla, plans to blow the whistle. Suddenly, everyone Jack cares about, including his two young children, is in danger. As the first winter snows fall in the rugged mountains, Jack must navigate a razor-wire labyrinth to rescue those he loves. And the true price of liberty, he discovers, is paid not in dollars, but human life. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: John Moraitis.

Conflict Is Not Abuse: Overstating Harm, Community Responsibility, and the Duty of Repair , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 648min
From intimate relationships to global politics, Sarah Schulman observes a continuum: that inflated accusations of harm are used to avoid accountability. Illuminating the difference between conflict and abuse, Schulman directly addresses our contemporary culture of scapegoating. This deep, brave, and bold work reveals how punishment replaces personal and collective self-criticism, and shows why difference is so often used to justify cruelty and shunning.Rooting the problem of escalation in negative group relationships, Schulman illuminates the ways cliques, communities, families, and religious, racial, and national groups bond through the refusal to change their self-concept. She illustrates how supremacy behavior and traumatized behavior resemble each other, through a shared inability to tolerate difference.This important and sure-to-be controversial book illuminates such contemporary and historical issues of personal, racial, and geo-political difference as tools of escalation towards injustice, exclusion, and punishment, whether the objects of dehumanization are other individuals in our families or communities, people with HIV, African Americans, or Palestinians. ungekürzt.

In this high-speed and lusty tale, Jesse, an auto mechanic of great renown, wins big at Powerball. Now, with tens of millions at his disposal, he decides to close up shop and retire...well, mostly. He will still work on cars, but only those belonging to beautiful young ladies who simply cannot afford his very over-inflated rates. Having just used some of his winnings on the Lamborghini of his dreams, he takes his non-paying customers on the rides of their lives...in more ways than one. It's the life dreams are made of. That is, until Jesse meets Allura, a woman of incredible beauty and wealth, and one who owns a car even better than his. She's also one of the coldest, meanest women he's ever known.
