Title: [German] - Entscheidung in Kiew - Ukrainische Lektionen - Aktualisierte und erweiterte Neuausgabe (Ungekürzte Lesung)

Author: Karl Schlögel

Narrator: Timo Weisschnur

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 14 hours 13 minutes

Release date: December 23, 2022

Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics

Publisher's Summary:

Was macht die Ukraine aus? Erst mit der russischen Annexion der Krim entwickelte sich ein Bewusstsein für die Eigenständigkeit dieses Landes, das nach dem Willen der Aggressoren nun von der Landkarte verschwinden soll. Seit vielen Jahren ist Karl Schlögel in der Ukraine unterwegs, seine ukrainischen Lektionen von 2015 ergänzt er nun um einen großen Essay über den Krieg, der sich gegen die Idee der Freiheitlichkeit überhaupt richtet. Lemberg, Odessa, Czernowitz, Kiew, Charkiw, Mariupol: All diese Namen, die sich nun mit Schreckensnachrichten verbinden, stehen eigentlich für eine offene, vielfältige Welt, die der Westen viel zu lange ignoriert hat. Wer wirklich wissen will, was in Europa auf dem Spiel steht, muss auf die Ukraine schauen.

Publisher's Summary:

Der Apparat im Staat. Die Polizei wird gebraucht und gefürchtet und ist immer wieder in den Schlagzeilen. Doch wie arbeitet und wirkt sie und wie ist ihr Verhältnis zur Gesellschaft?Der Rechtsanwalt Benjamin Derin und der renommierte Polizeiforscher und Kriminologe Tobias Singelnstein zeigen die strukturellen Probleme einer mit weitgehenden Befugnissen und einer Gewaltlizenz ausgestatteten Organisation. Dazu gehören mangelnde Fehlerkultur und Transparenz, Korpsgeist und Rassismus, aber auch Überforderung aufgrund einer wachsenden Zahl an Aufgaben, für die die Beamt:innen nicht immer angemessen ausgebildet sind. Zugleich sorgt die Polizei durch ihre Lobbyarbeit für Polarisierung und neigt zur Verselbstständigung. Die Autoren zeigen, dass die Polizei sich wandeln muss, wenn sie den gesellschaftlichen Veränderungen gerecht werden will und damit eine rechtsstaatliche Einhegung gewährleistet ist.

Title: [German] - Das verstaatlichte Kind: Optimiert, reguliert, traumatisiert - Wie unsere Gesellschaft ihre Kinder versaut

Author: Gunda Frey

Narrator: Gunda Frey

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 5 hours 49 minutes

Release date: December 15, 2022

Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics

Publisher's Summary:

Spätestens seit Lockdown und Schulausfall hinterfragen Eltern den Sinn vieler Maßnahmen rund um Schule und Kindeswohl. Zu Recht. Psychotherapeutin Gunda Frey warnt: 'Wir erschaffen eine traumatisierte Generation!' Kinder werden heute von Geburt bis Schulabschluss den Zwängen eines auf 'Funktionieren' optimierten Systems ausgesetzt – Rücksichtnahme auf ihre Bedürfnisse: meist Fehlanzeige! Das Ergebnis: Kinder, denen Eltern, Erzieher und Lehrer nicht das ermöglichen, was gut, gesund und nötig wäre. Die Resultate sind fatal. Dieses Buch ist ein Weckruf für alle, denen die Zukunft unserer Kinder am Herzen liegt. Anhand von zahlreichen Beispielen aus der Praxis zeigt die Autorin, was im herrschenden System im Argen liegt, und liefert Ideen, wie man mit der richtigen Haltung und den richtigen Werten das Schlimmste vielleicht noch verhindern kann.

Title: [Spanish] - Pensar Medio Oriente

Author: Maruan Soto Antaki

Narrator: Bern Hoffman

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 8 hours 53 minutes

Release date: December 15, 2022

Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics

Publisher's Summary:

Una reflexión imprescindible que permita sentar las bases para pensar Medio Oriente con claridad: un escenario donde se entrecruzan nervios tan sensibles como la religión, la identidad nacional, el petróleo, el terrorismo y el fundamentalismo Para Maruan Soto Antaki, autor de Clandestino y Reserva del vacío, el propósito de este libro es pensar un mundo que se antoja distante, asomarse a una zona a la que debe parte de su identidad: Medio Oriente. La abundancia de opiniones en torno a Medio Oriente no ha resultado en una mejor comprensión de esa parte del mundo, ni mucho menos de la cultura árabe. Por el contrario, el ruido mediático ha alentado prejuicios, malentendidos, lugares comunes y sentencias morales. En este contexto, se vuelve imprescindible una reflexión más detenida, que permita sentar las bases para pensar Medio Oriente con claridad. En un escenario donde se entrecruzan nervios tan sensibles como la religión, la identidad nacional, el petróleo, el terrorismo y el fundamentalismo, es urgente establecer coordenadas precisas: ¿Qué es ser árabe? ¿Es sinónimo de islámico? ¿Es indisociable el islam del terrorismo? ¿Qué tan profundas son las raíces históricas de los conflictos? ¿Por qué la erupción del Daesh? ¿Por qué Siria es el epicentro de ese perpetuo terremoto?

Title: [Portuguese] - Direitos Fundamentais aos Refugiados Venezuelanos

Author: Jinny Bitar

Narrator: Voz Sintética

Format: Abridged Audiobook

Length: 3 hours 28 minutes

Release date: December 13, 2022

Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics

Publisher's Summary:

Esta obra trata dos contextos de migração quanto aos direitos fundamentais dos refugiados venezuelanos. Com o aumento do número de imigrantes e refugiados venezuelanos no Brasil, que, em sua maioria, ingressam no território nacional pelo Município de Pacaraima, na região fronteiriça do Estado de Roraima, houve o aumento de algumas situações de conflito decorrentes desse fluxo migratório intenso. Como instrumento de coleta de dados, fizemos uma entrevista semiestruturada com 10 venezuelanos, de ambos os sexos, que se encontram no Brasil há um período de pelo menos dois anos. De acordo com as interpretações dos dados desta pesquisa, percebeu-se o difícil momento de transição e mudanças pelas quais passam os sujeitos imigrantes recém-chegados. As marcas deixadas nas suas vidas, por conta desse momento, são inúmeras: sonhos perdidos, esperanças difíceis de serem retomadas e a dificuldade de recomeçar a vida em um novo país.

Title: Ambedkar's Preamble: A Secret History of the Constitution of India: A Secret History of the Constitution of India

Author: Akash Singh Rathore

Narrator: Derek Denzil

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 7 hours 13 minutes

Release date: December 13, 2022

Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics

Publisher's Summary:

On 26 January 1950, the Constitution of India was adopted formally and came into effect. Its preamble set out in brief the enlightened values it enshrined and hoped to engender. In a radical shift from mainstream constitutional history, this book establishes Dr B.R. Ambedkar's irrefutable authorship of the preamble by uncovering the intellectual origins of its six most central concepts-justice, liberty, equality, fraternity, dignity, and nation.Although Dr Ambedkar is universally regarded as the chief architect of the Constitution, the specifics of his role as chairman of the Drafting Committee are not widely discussed. Totally neglected is his almost single-handed authorship of the Constitution's Preamble, which is frequently and mistakenly attributed to B.N. Rau rather than to Ambedkar.This book establishes how and why the Preamble to the Constitution of India is essentially an Ambedkarite preamble. It is clear that its central concepts have their provenance in Ambedkar's writings and speeches. Through six eponymous chapters, this book unfolds the story of the six constitutional concepts. In doing so, it spotlights fundamental facts about modern Indian history, as well as Ambedkar's revolutionary political thought, hitherto ignored in conventional accounts.
