    Journey to Texas, 1833 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 346min
    In 1834, a German immigrant to Texas, D. T. F. (Detlef Thomas Friedrich) Jordt, aka Detlef Dunt, published Reise nach Texas, a delightful little book that praised Texas as "a land which puts riches in [the immigrant's] lap, which can bring happiness to thousands and to their descendants." Dunt's volume was the first one written by an on-the-ground observer to encourage German immigration to Texas, and it provides an unparalleled portrait of Austin's Colony from the lower Brazos region and San Felipe to the Industry and Frelsburg areas, where Dunt resided with Friedrich Ernst and his family. Journey to Texas, 1833 offers the first English translation of Reise nach Texas. It brings to vivid life the personalities, scenic landscapes, and customs that Dunt encountered in colonial Texas on the eve of revolution, along with his many practical suggestions for Germans who intended to emigrate. The editors' introduction describes the social, political, and economic conditions that prompted Europeans to emigrate to Texas and provides biographical background on Dunt and his connection with Friedrich Ernst. Expanding our knowledge of German immigration to Texas beyond the more fully documented Hill Country communities, Journey to Texas, 1833 also adds an important chapter to the story of pre-Revolutionary Texas by a sophisticated commentator. ungekürzt.

    Brexit: What the Hell Happens Now? , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 218min
    Read by author Ian Dunt, this is your blunt guide to Brexit. Journalist Ian Dunt reveals how leaving the EU will hit law, politics, and business. Based on expert advice, this revised edition of his 2017 best seller reveals the true story of Britain's biggest issue, stripped of the gloss put on it by its cheerleaders. It is incisive and important, and growing more so by the day. Reviewers have praised the book's intelligence and brevity. What is special about this audiobook? It is fast-paced and informative - and it is based on extensive research with experts across law, trade, and politics. Michael Gove may think that the British public has had enough of experts, but Ian Dunt and Canbury Press disagree. Reviews: "Highly recommended" - Nick Cohen, Spectator "Excellent. A must-read. Harass every MP until they read Dunt's book" - AC Grayling "I would strongly recommend this excellent guide. Dunt has taken the extraordinary step of asking a set of experts what they think. I learnt a lot." - Philip Collins, Prospect "A definitive account of just how much confusion and ignorance has surrounded this entire debate." - James O'Brien, LBC "Compact and easily digestible. I would encourage anyone who is confused, fascinated or frustrated by Brexit to read this book. You will be far wiser by the end of it." - Caroline Lucas, co-leader, Green Party "Tory right-wingers who weep for the days when Britannia ruled the waves need not bother with this book. Nor will it be of interest to [left-wing] fantasists. Everyone else could learn a great deal." - James Coldwell, Fabian Review "If you are looking for a good guide to Brexit and what comes next, I can recommend Brexit: What the Hell Happens Now?" - Tom Watson, deputy leader, Labour Party ungekürzt.

    Welcome to the tyrannical city of Jewel, where impatience is a sin and boldness is a crime. Goldie Roth has lived in Jewel all her life. Like every child in the city, she wears a silver guardchain and is forced to obey the dreaded Blessed Guardians. She has never done anything by herself and won’t be allowed out on the streets unchained until Separation Day. When Separation Day is canceled, Goldie, who has always been both impatient and bold, runs away, risking not only her own life but also the lives of those she has left behind. In the chaos that follows, she is lured to the mysterious Museum of Dunt, where she meets the boy Toadspit and discovers terrible secrets. Only the cunning mind of a thief can understand the museum’s strange, shifting rooms. Fortunately, Goldie has a talent for thieving. Which is just as well, because the leader of the Blessed Guardians has his own plans for the museum - plans that threaten the lives of everyone Goldie loves. And it will take a daring thief to stop him.... Museum of Thieves is a thrilling tale of destiny and danger, and of a courageous girl who has never been allowed to grow up - until now. ungekürzt.

Deep Fakes can be misused to shift public opinion, swing Presidential elections, or blackmail, coerce, and silence individuals. And when combined with the destabilising overload of disinformation that has been dubbed 'the Infocalypse', we are potentially facing a danger of world-changing proportions.Deep Fakes and the Infocalypse is International Political Technology Advisor Nina Schick's stark warning about a future we all need to understand before it's too late.
