Title: [German] - Wie man einen Drachen tötet: Handbuch für angehende Revolutionäre

Author: Michail Chodorkowski

Narrator: Oliver Dupont

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 3 hours 4 minutes

Release date: April 17, 2023

Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics

Publisher's Summary:

Spätestens seit dem Beginn von Wladimir Putins zunehmend aggressivem Vernichtungskrieg gegen die Ukraine im Februar 2022 ist klar: Eine friedliche Weltordnung MIT Putin ist kaum denkbar. Doch wie kann ein totalitäres Regime beendet werden? Durch wen? Eher von innen oder von außen? Gäbe es überhaupt eine Chance auf einen einigermaßen friedlichen Machtwechsel? Und wer käme dann in Russland an die Macht – und wie würde diese aussehen? Diese drängenden Fragen werden nicht nur von Politikern und Entscheidungsträgern gestellt, sondern im Grunde von allen freiheitsliebenden Menschen in Russland und auf der ganzen Welt. Weit entfernt von jeglicher Besserwisserei, stellt der Autor in Wie man einen Drachen tötet unbequeme Fragen, wie z.B. die nach der Gewaltlosigkeit, und leitet die daraus resultierenden Handlungsoptionen ab. Damit will er keine Patentrezepte liefern, sondern eine längst überfällige Diskussion anstoßen sowie Lösungen für eine Umgestaltung des russischen Staates vorzuschlagen, die künftigen Machtmissbrauch verhindern würde. Das zentrale Argument des Buches ist, dass eine parlamentarische Republik mit einem sorgfältig austarierten System von Kontrollen und Gegengewichten das derzeitige Modell der russischen Staatlichkeit ersetzen muss, welches den Präsidenten mit einer außerordentlichen Fülle an Befugnissen ausstattet – und mit viel zu vielen Möglichkeiten, einseitige Entscheidungen zu treffen.

Publisher's Summary:

¿Cuáles serán las grandes potencias del siglo XXI? ¿Cómo será el mundo del mañana? ¿Qué vivirán nuestros nietos? ¿El ser humano alcanzará la inmortalidad? 2100 se perfila como un escenario en el que un nuevo orden planetario desbancará a EE.UU. del primer puesto, y llevará a países como la India o a continentes como África a convertirse en las nuevas grandes potencias. Una sociedad donde la inteligencia artificial determinará nuestro día a día, los coches autónomos nos trasladarán sin piloto y los drones llevarán la compra a la azotea de nuestras casas tras visitar una tienda virtual. Es posible que asistamos a la boda de algún familiar con un androide, un implante cerebral nos diga cuál es nuestra presión arterial. Un mundo nuevo forjado a partir del desastre que vaticina el convulso tiempo en el que vivimos, pero que augura un futuro esperanzador, donde el ser humano pueda edificar de nuevo sus sueños. Borja F. Zurrón, autor de los conocidos canales de Youtube Memorias de Pez y Memorias de tiburón, nos dibuja en 2100:Una historia del futuro, cómo será el porvenir de la humanidad a 75 años vista. Un libro para entender las grandes revoluciones que se encuentran a la vuelta de la esquina y los increíbles cambios que darán forma al futuro que vivirán nuestros nietos. «Haría falta todo un cataclismo, un cisne negro de proporciones bíblicas para que Estados Unidos pierda su hegemonía mundial antes de 2050. Sin embargo, a un plazo mayor, con una China ya madura y militarmente capacitada y una India desarrollada que alcance los 2.000 millones de habitantes, el escenario se vuelve mucho más borroso».

Title: Big Men Fear Me: The Fast Life and Quick Death of Canada’s Most Powerful Media Mogul

Author: Mark Bourrie

Narrator: Tom Lute

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 12 hours 48 minutes

Release date: April 15, 2023

Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics

Publisher's Summary:

The remarkable true story of the rise and fall of one of North America's most influential media moguls. When George McCullagh bought The Globe and The Mail and Empire and merged them into the Globe and Mail, the charismatic 31-year-old high school dropout had already made millions on the stock market. It was just the beginning of the meteoric rise of a man widely expected to one day be prime minister of Canada. But the charismatic McCullagh had a dark side. Dogged by the bipolar disorder that destroyed his political ambitions and eventually killed him, he was all but written out of history. It was a loss so significant that journalist Robert Fulford has called McCullagh’s biography 'one of the great unwritten books in Canadian history'—until now. In Big Men Fear Me, award-winning historian Mark Bourrie tells the remarkable story of McCullagh’s inspirational rise and devastating fall, and with it sheds new light on the resurgence of populist politics, challenges to collective action, and attacks on the free press that characterize our own tumultuous era.

Title: [Spanish] - Los 90: La década que amamos odiar

Author: Tomás Balmaceda

Narrator: Tomás Balmaceda

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 9 hours 25 minutes

Release date: April 13, 2023

Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics

Publisher's Summary:

Para algunos en el mejor de los sentidos, para otros en el peor, los 90 fueron años de cambios y también de nuevos paradigmas que pusieron patas para arriba a la Argentina y al mundo, e iniciaron una era de transformaciones vertiginosas tras la caída del Muro de Berlín. Tomás Balmaceda es filósofo, docente universitario y periodista especializado en nuevas tendencias -en los 90 transitó su propia adolescencia, etapa clave para los descubrimientos-. En este libro, bajo su mirada inquieta, inteligente e irónica, pasan las andanzas de dos presidentes argentinos y dos estadounidense muy, pero muy especiales; episodios de corrupción generalizada; privatizaciones brutales y escandalosas; el último alzamiento militar; indultos a condenados por crímenes de lesa humanidad; atentados contra la comunidad judía; el asesinato de un reportero gráfico por fotografiar a un empresario poderoso cuyo rostro hasta entonces nadie conocía; los sinsabores del fútbol de la Selección; el 1 a 1 de la convertibilidad que nos convirtió en nuevos ricos; canales privatizados y nuevos modos de hacer televisión; los altibajos de Diego; la Reforma constitucional; el fin de la colimba; la categoría celebrities llevada al extremo y más allá; la pizza con champán y el sushi como nuevos manjares patrios; el diputrucho y los menemtruchos; la aparición y evolución de los teléfonos celulares e Internet, nada menos. Es decir, mucho de eso que hoy creemos que estuvo siempre, empezó en los 90, años en los que se llegó a decir que estábamos ante el fin de la historia. Pero no. ¿O sí?

Title: Breakthrough Community Change: A Guide to Creating Common Agendas That Change Everything

Author: Paul Born

Narrator: Jeff Hoyt

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 5 hours 23 minutes

Release date: April 11, 2023

Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics

Publisher's Summary:

Discover a powerful methodology for bringing communities together to uncover hidden assets and transform deep-rooted challenges. Veteran community organizer Paul Born's work has contributed to lowering cancer rates in Maine, improving mental health for young people in Florida, and reducing poverty rates in Canada by 20 percent. In this much-needed new book, he shares stories of how he was able to catalyze local communities and guide them to make significant progress on seemingly intractable community problems. Born has found that the secret to success is to organize and unite around a common agenda. This is not a list of topics, like a meeting agenda, nor a strategic plan. He offers a process for bringing leaders from businesses, human service organizations, and governments together with people who have a lived experience of a specific community problem. A common agenda is a statement of shared aspirations, a map of the assets in the community, and a road map for how to work together to make those aspirations a reality. Part I of this book describes how to identify your community's readiness for change; form leadership, action, and strategy teams; create a common agenda; and establish plans for community engagement. Part II presents the approaches and skill sets needed to do the work described in part I. Remarkably, enormous systemic problems such as climate change, poverty, disease, racism, housing, and many more issues can be best addressed at the local level. Communities can develop solutions tailored to their unique circumstances and can collaborate at a magnitude that can result in a truly transformative impact. This book shows how to make change happen.

Title: The Point of No Return: American Democracy at the Crossroads

Author: Thomas Byrne Edsall

Narrator: Mike Chamberlain

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 13 hours 38 minutes

Release date: April 11, 2023

Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics

Publisher's Summary:

After Donald Trump's rise to power, after the 2020 presidential election, after January 6, is American politics past the point of no return? New York Times columnist Thomas Byrne Edsall fears that the country may be headed over a cliff. In this compelling and illuminating book, Edsall documents how the Trump years ravaged the nation's politics, culture, and social order. He explains the demographic shifts that helped make Trump's election possible, and describes the racial and ethnic conflict, culture wars, rural/urban divide, diverging economies of red and blue states, and the transformation of both the Republican and Democratic parties that have left our politics in a state of permanent hostility. The Point of No Return brings together a series of Edsall's columns, bookended by a new introduction and conclusion, which show how we got to this dangerous point. These dispatches from our new political landscape chronicle the emergence of what Edsall calls 'the not-so-silent white majority' and show how Trump deployed fears about race and immigration to appeal to voters. Edsall examines Trump's construction of an alternate reality and discusses why we don't always vote according to our own self-interest. Considering the 2020 election and its violent aftermath, Edsall looks at the Capitol insurrection and warns that American democracy is under siege.

Title: You Might Go to Prison, Even Though You're Innocent

Author: Justin Brooks

Narrator: Justin Brooks

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 7 hours 51 minutes

Release date: April 4, 2023

Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics

Publisher's Summary:

Justin Brooks has spent his career freeing innocent people from prison. With You Might Go to Prison, Even Though You're Innocent, he offers up-close accounts of the cases he has fought, embedding them within a larger landscape of innocence claims and robust research on what we know about the causes of wrongful convictions. Putting listeners at the defense table, this book forces us to consider how any of us might be swept up in the system, whether we hired a bad lawyer, bear a slight resemblance to someone else in the world, or are not good with awkward silence. The stories of Brooks's cases and clients paint the picture of a broken justice system, one where innocence is no protection from incarceration or even the death penalty. Simultaneously relatable and disturbing, You Might Go to Prison, Even Though You're Innocent is essential listening for anyone who wants to better understand how injustice is served by our system.

Title: [German] - Weltuntergang fällt aus - Warum die Wende der Klimakrise viel einfacher ist, als die meisten denken, und was jetzt zu tun ist (Ungekürzte Autorenlesung)

Author: Jan Hegenberg

Narrator: Jan Hegenberg

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 7 hours 44 minutes

Release date: April 1, 2023

Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics

Publisher's Summary:

Mal angenommen es war nicht früher alles besser - sondern wird es erst in der Zukunft: Wie würde die ideale Welt 2040 in Bezug auf fossile Brennstoffe, Mobilität und Ernährung aussehen? Und wäre sie auch praktisch umsetzbar? Jan Hegenberg zeigt in seinem Buch faktenbasiert, aber trotzdem mit einer ordentlichen Prise Humor, wie wir die Energiewende angehen können und wie Städte ohne Autos aussehen und funktionieren würden. Dabei seziert er genussvoll und unterhaltsam die Fehlinformationen, denen wir zu dem Thema Klimawende aufgesessen sind, und zeigt, wie gut wir 2040 klimaneutral leben können.
