The Old Curiosity Shop , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 1447min
Like Charles Dickens' other early novels, The Old Curiosity Shop was a huge success, even eclipsing The Pickwick Papers. The melodramatic saga of the flight of Little Nell and her grandfather captured the public's attention, so much so that people would wait in long lines for the release of the next installment of the saga. For the character of Little Nell, the beautiful child thrown into a shadowy, terrifying world, Dickens drew on a tragedy in his own life, the death at the age of seventeen of his sister-in-law Mary Hogarth. "The desire to be buried next her is as strong upon me now ... and I know (for I don't think there ever was love like that I bear her) that it will never diminish," he would write, five years later. ungekürzt.

The Sacrifice of Socrates: Athens, Plato, and Girard : Studies in Violence, Mimesis, & Culture , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 410min
When Athenians suffered the shame of having lost a war from their own greed and foolishness, around 404 BCE the public's blame was directed at Socrates, a man whose unique appearance and behavior, as well as his disapproval of the democracy, made him a ready target. Socrates was subsequently put on trial and sentenced to death. However, as René Girard has pointed out, no individual can be held responsible for a communal crisis. Plato's Apology depicts Socrates as both the bane and the cure of Greek society while his Crito shows a sacrificial Socrates, what some might consider a pharmakos figure, the human drug through whom Plato can dispense his philosophical remedies. With tremendous insight and satisfying complexity, this audiobook analyzes classical texts through the lens of Girard's mimetic mechanism. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Bob Neufeld.

The Tarden Agenda: Adrift on a Sea of Stars, Volume 3 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 557min
Earth has entered the Tarden Republic of Worlds. Humanity was been rescued from the brink of extinction and the world rejuvenated. It is a new Golden Age. But for how long and at what cost? Only a few could see the long game that the Tarden are playing, and it was one that wouldn't end well for mankind. Captain Brad Rutherford and Abbot Isaiah of the Church of Man team up to launch two missions to find new planetary colonies. One interstellar flight was in the public's eye and watched by the alien overlords. A second was in secret. Temporarily distracted, the Tarden send their own expedition to Alpha Centauri, hunting for signs of their ancient enemy. What they find changes everything. As the old abbot predicted, humanity wasn't in a Golden Age after all, but merely in a lull between terrible storms. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Isaac Boone.

Rachel Carson , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 145min
Rachel Carson is called the mother of the modern ecological movement, bringing the importance of environmental conservation to the public's attention. She was a nature lover since childhood. As an adult, she became a marine biologist and wrote award-winning books about the ocean, capturing the imagination of her readers with her poetic descriptions of the sea and its inhabitants. But it was her book Silent Spring that thrust Carson and the hazards of using pesticides into the national consciousness. Silent Spring sounded the alarm about the threat chemical pesticides posed to wildlife and made people sensitive to the ways they impacted the earth. Carson - and her book - are often credited with inspiring the modern environmental movement. Rachel Carson shows how this writer was able to bring national attention to a growing environmental crisis. The book is published by Chelsea House Publishers, a leading publisher of educational material. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Kym Dakin-Neal.

In Bed with Susie Bright 602: Incest of the Rich and Famous: The Dylan Farrow - Woody Allen Case, Hörbuch, Digital, 27min, (USK 18)
Today, Susie breaks open two controversial topics: incest - and justice. She begins with the most provocative child-abuse accusation to enter the public's awareness in years - Dylan Farrow vs. Woody Allen - and ends with an argument for justice that is ageless. Susie ponders the question of what we are supposed to think when celebrities take to the press about their family abuse. Is it about money? Is it about immortality? Or is it just more of the screwed-up lives that Hollywood produces so effortlessly? Susie has had some inside views of what produces this kind of behavior, and she spends the entire show discussing incest. Have a question or news story for Susie?

Otherworld: Ancient Evidence of Parallel Universes , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 393min
Is Stonehenge a stone hinge? As early as 10,000 years ago, early man knew of parallel universes. Not from quantum theoretical models but from face-to-face interaction with their denizens. Over the last 30 years, television series and movies focused on the public's thirst for inexplicable phenomena. The growing number of books devoted to works explaining everything from UFOs to Stonehenge are testaments of continuing and increasing interest. Each theory is specialized, honed to explain a specific mystery. Each generates more opponents than supporters. What if a single theory unified and explained a majority of these enigmas? What if the same theory reached back into our past and demonstrated ancient people dealt with these same mysteries? Otherworld presents such a theory, a theory born from a single question: What if Stonehenge really was a stone hinge? ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Kenneth Bryant.

Unsecure Skies , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 733min
The author gives us an unfiltered account of his personal experience as a Federal Air Marshal. The listener will see how a bureaucracy chartered to protect the flying public frustrates the best recruits by discouraging efforts to excel in physical training and marksmanship. Rigid bureaucratic dress codes and less-than-secure behavior by some managers risk identifying Air Marshals to terrorists. And even worse, some local supervisors abuse the benefits of their positions to make personal flights on the public's dime or engage in office romances with subordinates or steal government property. This book shows us the process by which recruits are taught to stifle dissent and learn to just go along. The author eventually finds it impossible to tolerate these abuses. Someone has to do something about it. But can the Federal Air Marshal Service accept criticism from within? Will a whistleblower be successful? ungekürzt. Language: English.
