Title: [German] - Nachruf auf mich selbst. - Die Kultur des Aufhörens (Ungekürzt)

Author: Harald Welzer

Narrator: Harald Welzer

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 8 hours 10 minutes

Release date: October 6, 2021

Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics

Publisher's Summary:

Bestseller-Autor Harald Welzer stellt fest, dass unsere Kultur kein Konzept vom Aufhören hat. Deshalb baut sie Autobahnen und Flughäfen für Zukünfte, in denen es keine Autos und Flughäfen mehr geben wird. Und sie versucht, unsere Zukunftsprobleme durch Optimierung zu lösen, obwohl ein optimiertes Falsches immer noch falsch ist. Damit verbaut sie viele Möglichkeiten, das Leben durch Weglassen und Aufhören besser zu machen. Diese Kultur hat den Tod genauso zur Privatangelegenheit gemacht, wie sie die Begrenztheit der Erde verbissen ignoriert. Harald Welzer zeigt in einer faszinierenden Montage aus wissenschaftlichen Befunden, psychologischen Einsichten und persönlichen Geschichten, wie man aus den Absurditäten dieser gesellschaftlichen Entwicklung herausfindet. Man muss rechtzeitig einen Nachruf auf sich selbst schreiben, damit man weiß, wie man gelebt haben will.

Publisher's Summary:

Unsere Kinder drohen die großen Verlierer der Corona-Krise zu werden - und zwar aufgrund eines schlechten Krisenmanagements. In diesem Buch zeigt Marita Kühne schonungslos auf, wie die Politik nicht nur in Sachen Schulpolitik versagt. Krisen fordern uns heraus, doch wir drohen an verschiedenen Faktoren zu scheitern. Durch die Wirren der Jahrhunderte haben uns der Verstand, unser Urteilsvermögen und die Vernunft getragen. Und wir werden auch in der aktuellen Krise nur gemeinsam - unter Nutzung aller wissenschaftlichen Expertisen und Einbezug aller gesellschaftlichen Gruppen - Lösungen finden, die das Wohl unserer Kinder in den Mittelpunkt stellen. Dazu bedarf es eines wirklich ehrlichen, wertschätzenden Gespräches miteinander. Die Autorin benennt Fehler aus der jüngsten Vergangenheit, unterbreitet aber auch Lösungsvorschläge zur Bewältigung dieser und anderer Krisen. Machen wir uns auf den neuen Pfaden!

Title: [Spanish] - Nocturno de la democracia mexicana

Author: Héctor Aguilar Camín

Narrator: Raúl Boxer

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 9 hours 46 minutes

Release date: September 30, 2021

Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics

Publisher's Summary:

Nocturno de la democracia mexicana son tres libros en uno. Un análisis ágil y novedoso sobre los lastres que nos impone la historia; una puntual recapitulación de nuestra aún inacabada transición a la democracia, y una advertencia sobre las pulsiones autoritarias del nuevo gobierno. 'La costumbre política mexicana, primera parte del libro, puede leerse como un solo ensayo sobre los hilos de larga duración de nuestra historia política: aquellas marcas de fábrica a las que, poco o mucho, volvemos siempre. 'La segunda parte, Casa en construcción: democracia sin demócratas, reúne ensayos y artículos escritos al paso de las primeras dos décadas de la democracia mexicana: 2000-2018. 'La tercera parte, Saltando al pasado. El poder de la costumbre, explora las elecciones del año 2018 como una especie de vuelta a la costumbre, a la elección de un gobierno fuerte, de rasgos caudillistas, luego de dos décadas de gobiernos débiles, incuestionablemente democráticos pero indefendiblemente ineficaces y corruptos. 'El tema de fondo es la historia del desencuentro de México con la modernidad política en dos de sus procesos seculares: el de la implantación de la república, durante el siglo XIX, y el de la construcción de la democracia, a fines del XX.' HÉCTOR AGUILAR CAMÍN

Title: Principles Matter: The Constitution, Progressives, and the Trump Era

Author: Carlos A. Ball

Narrator: Patrick Lawlor

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 13 hours 19 minutes

Release date: September 28, 2021

Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics

Publisher's Summary:

Progressives who opposed the Trump administration's policies found themselves repeatedly relying on constitutional principles grounded in federalism, separation of powers, and free speech to resist the federal government. Although many progressives had either criticized or underemphasized those principles before Trump, the principles became vital to progressive causes after Trump was elected. Using dozens of examples from the ways in which Trump abused presidential powers, this book explains how the three sets of principles can help mitigate the harms that autocratic leaders in the Trump mold can inflict on both democratic institutions and vulnerable minorities. In doing so, the book urges progressives to follow this rule of thumb in the post-Trump era: If a constitutional principle was worth deploying to resist Trump's harmful policies and autocratic governance, then it is worth defending in the post-Trump era even if it makes the short-term attainment of progressive objectives more difficult. This type of principled constitutionalism is essential not only because being principled is good in and of itself, but also because being principled in matters related to federalism, separation of powers, and free speech will help both advance progressive causes over the long run and reduce the threats posed by future autocratic leaders.

Title: [Spanish] - El expolio nazi

Author: Miguel Martorell

Narrator: Juan Miguel Díez

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 17 hours 30 minutes

Release date: September 17, 2021

Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics

Publisher's Summary:

Han pasado más de setenta y cinco años desde el fin de la Segunda Guerra Mundial y no hay semana que no aparezca alguna noticia sobre reclamaciones de las víctimas del expolio nazi o sus descendientes, a estados o museos de todo el planeta, para recobrar las obras de arte robadas durante la contienda. ¿Cómo llevó a cabo el Tercer Reich este saqueo de obras de arte, el más grande de la historia? ¿Cuáles fueron sus vínculos con el Holocausto? 'El expolio nazi' analiza en detalle el funcionamiento de la gran maquinaria depredadora dirigida por Adolf Hitler y Hermann Goering, e integrada por directores de museos y galeristas, funcionarios y militares, especuladores y mafiosos. Lejos del amor al arte, muchos de ellos actuaron por afán de poder y ánimo de lucro, impulsos que alentaron un alto grado de violencia y corrupción. El banquero alemán Alois Miedl, marchante de Goering, fue uno de los protagonistas de aquella trama. A través de su vida, este libro explica en qué consistió el expolio nazi. También qué papel desempeñó España en la dispersión de los bienes saqueados, pues Miedl halló aquí refugio al acabar la guerra e introdujo de contrabando un número indeterminado de pinturas cuyo paradero aún hoy desconocemos. No fue el único: por aquellos días, los contrabandistas de arte procedentes del Tercer Reich campaban por España con la complicidad de la dictadura franquista y en varias galerías del país podían hallarse pinturas procedentes del expolio.
