Embracing Embers: A Bleeding Heart Series Prequel , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 632min
They were never meant to survive. Six years before the Day of Reckoning, before King Cyrus, magick was forbidden. Kahl Zimmerman, the bastard son of a tyrant ruler, has lost everything and everyone to the fear of what he is. Oracles of foresight are shunned and burned in a world surging with destitution and lies - every oracle but him. Kahl's only hope for redemption is lost to a cruel fate, and when a group of insurgents known as the Elehites invade the city, he is determined to wreak havoc on his enemies, even if he destroys himself. What begins as a rebellion to save his people ends in a violent war no one can escape from. The lines between love and hate are obscured, and Kahl will discover that the past doesn't always remain in the past. The lies run deeper, the blood flows thicker, and the name behind the true enemy is far darker. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: James Patrick Cronin.

The League: How Five Rivals Created the NFL and Launched a Sports Empire , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 710min
The epic tale of the five owners who shepherded the NFL through its tumultuous early decades and built the most popular sport in America.The National Football League is a towering, distinctly American colossus spewing out $13 billion in annual revenue. Yet its current dominance has obscured how professional football got its start. In The League, John Eisenberg reveals that Art Rooney, George Halas, Tim Mara, George Preston Marshall, and Bert Bell took an immense risk by investing in the professional game. At that time, the sport barely registered on the national scene, where college football, baseball, boxing, and horse racing dominated. The five owners succeeded only because at critical junctures in the 1920s, 1930s, and 1940s, each sacrificed the short-term success of his team for the longer-term good of the League. At once a history of a sport and a remarkable story of business ingenuity, The League is an essential listen for any fan of our true national pastime. ungekürzt. Language: English.

Encyclical on Climate Change and Inequality: On Care for Our Common Home , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 335min
The complete text of the landmark encyclical letter from Pope Francis that, as Time magazine reported, "rocked the international community". In the Encyclical on Climate Change and Inequality, the beloved pope exhorts the world to combat environmental degradation and its impact on the poor. In a stirring clarion call that is not aimed merely at Catholic listeners but rather at a wide lay audience, the pope cites the overwhelming scientific evidence of climate change and does not hesitate to detail how it is the result of a historic level of unequal distribution of wealth. It is, in short, as the New York Times labeled it, "An urgent call to action...intended to persuade followers around the world [to] change their behavior, in hopes of protecting a fragile planet." With an insightful and informative introduction by Harvard professor Naomi Oreskes, famed for her best-selling Merchants of Doubt: How a Handful of Scientists Obscured the Truth on Issues from Tobacco Smoke to Global Warming. ungekürzt.

Mastani , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 570min
Until recently, history had relegated Mastani to forgotten pages as a dancing girl - a myth kept alive by lack of evidence about her true place in the Peshwa household. Daughter of Maharaj Chhatrasal of Bundelkhand, Mastani married Peshwa Baji Rao I while he was in power, but she was obscured almost to anonymity by several forces. Her life as a strategist, both on the field and at home, was veiled with intrigue due to the jealousies of women in zenanas and power-hungry relatives in the Peshwai. What was Mastani's story? Was being a true companion to the Peshwa as well as his most loved wife a threat large enough to snuff her out in the pages of history? Fascinated for years by the secrecy behind her life and death, Kusum Choppra unravels the mysterious surrounding the deaths of both Peshwa Baji Rao I and his second wife. The novel explores Mastani's royal lineage and the elegant bearing of a warrior princess caught in the political web of a changing empire. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Shaheen Khan.

Feminism Unfinished: A Short, Surprising History of American Women's Movements , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 528min
The American women’s movement has been shrouded in myths, argue three leading scholars in this bold and revisionist history. Eschewing the conventional wisdom that places the origins of the American women’s movement in the nostalgic glow of the late 1960s, Feminism Unfinished traces the beginnings of this seminal American social movement to the 1920s, in the process creating an expanded, historical narrative that dramatically rewrites a century of American women’s history. Also challenging the contemporary "lean-in", trickle-down feminist philosophy and asserting that women’s histories all too often depoliticize politics, labor issues, and divergent economic circumstances, Dorothy Sue Cobble, Linda Gordon, and Astrid Henry demonstrate that the post-Suffrage women’s movement focused on exploitation of women in the workplace as well as on inherent sexual rights. The authors carefully revise our "wave" vision of feminism, which previously suggested that there were clear breaks and sharp divisions within these media-driven "waves". Showing how history books have obscured the notable activism by working-class and minority women in the past, Feminism Unfinished provides a much-needed corrective. ungekürzt. Language: English.

From Passion to Peace , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 53min
Two themes that recur very frequently in the works of James Allen are passion and purity. However, unlike many writers on moral discipline, the author regards purity as the natural state of man, which has been obscured by passionate attachment to external artefacts. Once the waves of passion are stilled, attachment falls away, allowing the seeker to attain a transcendent purity of vision and thus behold the reality that underlies the illusion of change. In the introduction the author writes: "The first three parts of this book, Passion, Aspiration, and Temptation, represent the common human life, with its passion, pathos, and tragedy. The last three parts, Transcendence, Beatitude, and Peace, represents the Divine Life - calm, wise and beautiful - of the sage and Savior. The middle part, Transmutation, is the transitional stage between the two; it is the alchemic process linking the divine with the human life. Discipline, denial, and renunciation do not constitute the Divine State; they are only the means by which it is attained. The Divine Life is established in that Perfect Knowledge which bestows Perfect Peace." ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Denis Daly.

Enoch for Everyone , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 184min
The Book of Enoch, preserved for thousands of years and found among the Dead Sea Scrolls, demands our attention not only for its literary and historical value but also for its potential impact on the church of the future. Why has this book remained hidden for centuries? What information does it contain that makes it so dangerous that those who have retained control of religious information have obscured its existence and have limited its availability? "The Book of Enoch" is the bridge that fills in the gap between the Old and New Testaments and answers those nagging questions that until its finding have gone unanswered. What questions? You know, that Pandora's box of questions tucked away in the back of your mind - those questions about God and the Bible you are hesitant to ask - even if you do ask them are never answered satisfactorily. Fear no more! Bring out that box and open it as you listen, Enoch For Everyone.PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio. ungekürzt.

Salem Possessed: The Social Origins of Witchcraft , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 598min
Tormented girls writhing in agony, stern judges meting out harsh verdicts, 19 bodies swinging on Gallows Hill. The stark immediacy of what happened in 1692 has obscured the complex web of human passion that climaxed in the Salem witch trials. From rich and varied sources - many neglected and unknown - Paul Boyer and Stephen Nissenbaum give us a picture of the people and events more intricate and more fascinating than any other in the massive literature. It is a story of powerful and deeply divided families and of a community determined to establish an independent identity - beset by restraints and opposition from without and factional conflicts from within - and a minister whose obsessions helped to bring this volatile mix to the flash point. Not simply a dramatic and isolated event, the Salem outbreak has wider implications for our understanding of developments central to the American experience: the disintegration of Puritanism, the pressures of land and population in New England towns, the problems besetting farmer and householder, the shifting role of the church, and the powerful impact of commercial capitalism. ungekürzt.
