    Knight of Ocean Avenue , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 573min
    How can you be 25 and not know you're gay? Billy Ballew runs from that question. A high school dropout, barely able to read until he taught himself, Billy's life is driven by his need to help support his parents as a construction worker, put his sisters through college, coach his Little League team, and not think about being a three-time loser in the engagement department. Being terrified of taking tests keeps Billy from getting the contractor's license he so desires, and fear of his mother's judgment blinds Billy to what could make him truly happy. Then, in preparation for his sister's big wedding, Billy meets Shaz - alias Chase Phillips - a rising-star celebrity stylist who defines the word gay. To Shaz, Billy embodies everything he's ever wanted - stalwart, honest, brave - but even if Billy turns out to be gay, he could never endure the censure he'd get for being with a queen like Shaz. How can two men with so little in common find a way to be together? Can the Stylist of the Year end up with the Knight of Ocean Avenue? ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: K.C. Kelly.

    The Professor's Girl , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 269min, (USK 18)
    When graduate student Lucy Larson sees her hot professor, thesis advisor, and employer at a spanking party, she promptly runs and hides. Later, kicking herself for her cowardice, she realizes she missed the opportunity to bring her spanking fantasies to life and sets her sights on seducing the hunky scientist. He ignores her antics until she accidentally ruins his research experiment and then he bends her over his desk for a dozen strokes of the cane. Dr. Todd Daniels would like nothing more than to get involved with his smart and sexy lab assistant, but doing so would be unethical and risk censure from the university. Still, when she deserves a serious spanking, he delivers. Delving into a flaming hot love affair, they must hide their relationship and navigate department politics, a search for his child, given up for adoption years before, and Lucy's insecurities about his commitment. He wants to make it all work, but he isn't sure if their unbalanced power dynamic has longevity as a relationship. In the end, all mentors fall off their pedestals and students must spread their own wings. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Hollie Jackson.

    Les défenseurs des droits de l'homme à la croisée des chemins au Cameroun
    La motivation de ce travail provient de la répression à laquelle sont confrontés les défenseurs des droits de l'homme au Cameroun, en particulier après la promulgation de la loi antiterroriste de 2014 par le gouvernement. Ce travail intellectuel est axé sur la persécution croissante des défenseurs des droits de l'homme à travers le monde, soit par des gouvernements dictatoriaux, soit par des législations nationales adoptées pour faire taire les voix dissidentes. Ces dernières années, la plupart des gouvernements africains ont développé des législations spécifiques sous le couvert de la lutte contre le terrorisme, qui sont en fait des mécanismes pour réprimer les dissidents et réprimer la liberté de la presse, la liberté de réunion et d'association en tant que droits fondamentaux. L'ouvrage identifie et analyse les différents défis auxquels sont confrontés les dissidents au Cameroun dans l'exercice de leurs fonctions en tant que voix des minorités. Il traite également de la censure de la presse dans le pays et de ses effets sur le secteur des médias. Sont également soulignées ici les sanctions associées à ce qui est considéré comme une violation de la loi antiterroriste de 2014 par le gouvernement. Plus intéressant encore, ce travail mettra en lumière l'utilisation par le gouvernement de tribunaux militaires pour juger les dissidents au lieu de tribunaux civils.

    Common Sense , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 92min
    Perhaps the sentiments contained in the following pages are not yet sufficiently fashionable to procure them general favor; a long habit of not thinking a thing wrong gives it a superficial appearance of being right and raises at first a formidable outcry in defense of custom. But the tumult soon subsides. Time makes more converts than reason. As a long and violent abuse of power is generally the means of calling the right of it in question (and in matters too which might never have been thought of, had not the sufferers been aggravated into the inquiry) and as the king of England hath undertaken in his own right, to support the Parliament in what he calls Theirs, and as the good people of this country are grievously oppressed by the combination, they have an undoubted privilege to inquire into the pretensions of both, and equally to reject the usurpation of either. In the following sheets, the author hath studiously avoided every thing which is personal among ourselves. Compliments as well as censure to individuals make no part thereof. The wise, and the worthy, need not the triumph of a pamphlet; and those whose sentiments are injudicious, or unfriendly, will cease of themselves unless too much pains are bestowed upon their conversion. ungekürzt.

    Bury the Hatchet: Tulsa Thunderbirds, Book 1 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 486min
    He was poised to be an elite goalie for a contending team. Hunter Fielding has long since proven himself to be one of the best goaltenders in the NHL. The problem? His former team had another (slightly better) backstop. They left Hunter out to dry, the upstart Tulsa Thunderbirds claimed him in the expansion draft, and he made a few stupid comments about backasswards Oklahomans. Now the T-Birds say the only way he can redeem himself is to make nice for the media with some local goody two shoes who's made some mistakes of her own. Oklahoma's sweetheart could do no wrong until she could do no right. Tallulah Belle Roth was the reigning Miss Oklahoma USA until a night of out-of-control drinking, a naked foray in a hot tub with very bad boy, and a bunch of lowlights on TMZ. Now she's been stripped of her crown and is facing the censure of the same people who made her out to be Little Miss Perfect. Tallie won't ever get her title back, but her life is another matter - and the only way the public will allow her to do that is if she presents herself as happily settled with someone else under Oklahoma's eye. The marriage is to be in name only - one year of sickeningly-sweet lovey-dovey PDA, all to get their detractors to bury the hatchet. Those kisses and tender moments for the cameras take an emotional toll, though. Can in name only be enough? ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Michael Pauley.

    I Killed Scheherazade
    In this provocative book Joumana Haddad uses the format of the political pamphlet to describe the liberating impact of literature on her life. She tells of reading the Marquis de Sade at twelve, of her metamorphosis into an award-winning poet, and reflects upon how this has shaped her as an Arab woman, as a writer and as a magazine editor. Joumana challenges prevalent notions of identity and womanhood in the Middle East and speaks of how she came to create the Arab world's first erotic literary magazine, Jasad (Body), that has earned her both admiration and censure. Fiery and candid, I Killed Scheherazade is a provocative exploration of what it means to be an 'Arab woman' today.Lieber Leser aus der westlichen Welt! Sei gleich vorweg gewarnt: Ich bin nicht gerade dafür bekannt, anderen das Leben leichter zu machen. Sollten Sie nach Wahrheiten suchen, die Sie bereits zu kennen glauben, nach Beweisen, die Sie ohnehin in der Hand zu haben meinen, sollte es Sie danach verlangen, Ihre orientalistischen Sichtweisen bestätigt oder Ihre antiarabischen Vorurteile gestärkt zu sehen, sollten Sie erwarten, einmal mehr das Schlaflied vom "Kampf der Kulturen" vorgesungen zu bekommen, so hören Sie am besten hier und jetzt mit dem Lesen auf. Denn in diesem Buch werde ich alles daran setzen, Ihre Erwartungen zu enttäuschen. Ich werde Sie Ihrer Illusionen berauben, Ihre Träume entzaubern, Ihre Schreckgespenster verjagen und Ihnen Ihre vorgefertigten Meinungen nehmen. Wie? Ganz einfach, indem ich Ihnen, und das nur für den Anfang, das Folgende erzähle...

    How I Got Moral Courage - And You Can, Too: A Speech by Irshad Manji at New York University, Hörbuch, Digital, 59min
    What is moral courage? Put simply, it's the willingness to be original, unique, and different from everyone else in your group. And it's one of the hardest things to do. Because you'll have to take criticism from parents, friends, preachers, teachers and bosses who want you to conform. Here's what Bobby Kennedy said about moral courage. He was speaking to South African students in 1966 - the heyday of apartheid: "Few are willing to brave the disapproval of their fellows, the censure of their colleagues, the wrath of their society. Moral courage is a rarer commodity than bravery in battle or great intelligence. Yet it is the one essential, vital quality for those who seek to change a world that yields most painfully to change." That's why Irshad Manji founded the Moral Courage Project at New York University's Wagner School of Public Service. The Moral Courage Project teaches young leaders to break silences for the sake of a greater good. Her focus is to teach, mentor, and engage undergraduates. In this brave and thought provoking speech, Irshad Manji addresses New York University students on how to find the courage to live by a bright moral compass. A must listen for students, teachers, parents, future leaders, and anyone seeking the courage to take the road less-traveled, How I Got Moral Courage - And You Can, Too is full of concrete suggestions, food for thought, and an uplifting sense of possibility and social responsibility. Here, Irshad Manji does more than inspire hope for a brighter tomorrow: she gives us the tools and the confidence to begin changing the world today. Language: English.

    High Sobriety: My Year Without Booze , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 591min
    I'm the binge-drinking health reporter. During the week, I write about Australia's booze-soaked culture. At the weekends, I write myself off. Born and raised in Scotland, the home of whisky, Jill Stark had booze in the blood. Alcohol had dominated her social life ever since she had her first sip of lager, at 13. She thought nothing could curb her love of big nights. Then came the hangover that changed everything. In the shadow of her 35th year, Jill made a decision: she would give up alcohol. But what would it mean to stop drinking in a world awash with booze? This lively memoir charts Jill's tumultuous year on the wagon, as she copes with the stress of the newsroom sober, tackles the dating scene on soda water, learns to watch football minus beer, and deals with censure from friends and colleagues, who tell her that a year without booze is a year without mates. In re-examining her habits, Jill also explores the global love affair with alcohol, meeting alcopop-swigging teens who drink to fit in, beer-swilling blokes in a sporting culture backed by booze, and marketing bigwigs blamed for turning binge drinking into a way of life. And she retraces her drinking steps to Scotland, where getting p***d is seen as a birthright. Will Jill make it through the year without booze? And if she does, will she go back to old habits, or has she called last drinks? This is a funny, moving, and insightful exploration of why we drink, how we got here, and what happens when we turn off the tap. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Vannessa Coffey.
