Title: [German] - Sätze, die die Welt verändern - Eine Gedankenreise von Sokrates bis Nietzsche (Ungekürzte Lesung) Author: Bruno Preisendörfer Narrator: Julian Mehne Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 7 hours 40 minutes Release date: September 7, 2023 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: Es gibt diese Sätze, die jeder kennt. Kein Wunder, dass sie unser Weltbild bis heute beeinflussen. Nur: Kaum jemand weiß, woher sie stammen, wie sie ursprünglich gemeint waren - und was ihnen im Laufe der Zeit zugestoßen ist. Bruno Preisendörfer begibt sich auf eine erstaunliche und spannende Spurensuche. Berühmten Zitaten geht es oft wie literarischen Figuren: So wie diese ihren Herkunftsbüchern entlaufen, verlassen jene ihre Entstehungskontexte und beginnen bei ihrer jahrhundertelangen Wanderung durch die Köpfe der Menschen ein Eigenleben. Manche werden dabei fett vor Bedeutungen, die sie ursprünglich gar nicht hatten, andere magern bis zur Bedeutungslosigkeit ab. Manchmal richtet das kaum Schaden an, wie bei der Behauptung, über Geschmack ließe sich nicht streiten; die Konsequenzen können jedoch auch äußerst unheilvoll sein, wie bei Darwins 'Überleben des Stärksten'; mitunter wird ein Satz auch einem Autor untergeschoben, obwohl der ihn nie geschrieben hat. Von wem stammt noch gleich 'Zurück zur Natur' ...? Immer wieder schlägt Preisendörfer elegante Haken zu Kuriosem und Unerwartetem. So wird sein Hörbuch zu einem ebenso lehrreichen wie unterhaltsamen Wunderding irgendwo zwischen philosophischem Handbuch, historischem Panoptikum und zeitdiagnostischem Essay.

Hale, Olga Onuch Narrator: Teri Schnaubelt Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 9 hours 4 minutes Release date: September 5, 2023 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: With Russian shells raining on Kyiv and tanks closing in, American forces prepared to evacuate Ukraine's leader. Just three years earlier, his apparent main qualification had been playing a president on TV. But Volodymyr Zelensky reportedly retorted, 'I need ammunition, not a ride.' Ukrainian forces won the battle for Kyiv, ensuring their country's independence even as a longer war began for the southeast. You cannot understand the historic events of 2022 without understanding Zelensky. But the Zelensky effect is less about the man himself than about the civic nation he embodies: what makes Zelensky most extraordinary in war is his very ordinariness as a Ukrainian. The Zelensky Effect explains this paradox, exploring Ukraine's national history to show how its now-iconic president reflects the hopes and frustrations of the country's first 'independence generation'. Interweaving social and political background with compelling episodes from Zelensky's life and career, this is the story of Ukraine told through the journey of one man who has come to symbolize his country.

Thomas Narrator: Suzie Althens Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 7 hours 21 minutes Release date: September 5, 2023 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: Examines how settler colonial and sexist infrastructures and narratives order a resource boom Over the past decade, new oil plays have unsettled U.S. energy landscapes and imaginaries. Settling the Boom studies how the disruptive forces of an oil boom in the northern Great Plains are contained through the extension of settler temporalities, reassertions of heteropatriarchy, and the tethering of life to the volatility of oil and its cruel optimisms. This collection reveals the results of sustained research in Williston, North Dakota, the epicenter of the 'Bakken Boom.' While the boom brought a rapid influx of capital and workers, the book questions simple timelines of before and after. Instead, Settling the Boom demonstrates how the unsettling forces of an oil play resolve through normative narratives and material and affective infrastructures that support settler colonialism's violent extension and its gendered orders of time and space. Considering a wide range of evidence, from urban and regional policy, interviews with city officials, media, photography, and film, these essays analyze the ongoing material, aesthetic, and narrative ways of life and land in the Bakken.

Title: Our Voices From The Heart Author: Professor Megan Davis, Patricia Anderson Ao Narrator: Professor Megan Davis, Patricia Anderson Ao Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 1 hour 55 minutes Release date: September 4, 2023 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: A behind-the-scenes book about the Uluru Statement From The Heart, from the co-chairs of the Uluru Dialogue, Professor Megan Davis and Patricia Anderson, AO. The Australian story began long before the arrival of the First Fleet. We Australians all know this. We have always known this. Australia finds itself standing on the edge of a 60,000-year-old precipice. The Uluru Statement From The Heart respectfully asks for First Nations people to finally be given a Voice - but what path led us here? The story of the twelve Regional Dialogues and the Uluru National Constitutional Convention has never been told. It is a yarn borne from centuries of struggle, full of vision, determination and courage. These community gatherings, led and attended by fifteen hundred everyday First Peoples, represent the largest ever consultation of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders in history. The unanimous result was the Uluru Statement From The Heart, and its call for Voice and Makarrata. Our Voices From The Heart is the official celebration of the grassroots campaign that guided us to this inspiring moment in Australia's history. It is a profound call to action for the nation, but is also an offering of peace and unity that recognises the past and reconciles it with the truth. Filled with powerful never-before-seen photography and helpful information to share with friends and family alike, this book charts the world's oldest living civilisation's ongoing fight for constitutional recognition and is destined to become a treasured keepsake for years to come. It's time, Australia. History is calling.

An Indien scheiden sich die Geister. Obwohl oder gerade weil kaum jemand im Westen dieses widersprüchliche Land versteht.

Award-winning author and journalist James Fergusson travels to every corner of Israel and Palestine telling the story of the River Jordan and the fierce competition for water. Along the way, he meets farmers, officials, soldiers, refugees, settlers, rioting youth, religious zealots, water experts, and engineers on both sides of the Green Line.

Title: Confronting Capitalism: How the World Works and How to Change It Author: Vivek Chibber Narrator: Shawn K. Jain Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 3 hours 58 minutes Release date: August 29, 2023 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: Why is our society so unequal? Why, despite their small numbers, do the rich dominate policy and politics even in democratic countries? Why is it so difficult for working people to organize around common interests? How do we begin to build a more equal and democratic society? Vivek Chibber provides a clear and accessible map of how capitalism works, how it limits the power of working and oppressed people, and how to overcome those limits. The capitalist economy generates incredible wealth but also injustice. Those who own the factories, hotels, and farms always have an advantage over the people who rely on that ownership class for their livelihoods. This inequality in power and income is reflected in the operation of the state, where capitalists are able to exert their will even under relatively democratic conditions. The most important reason is that states depend on the employment and profits from capitalist enterprise for both finances and legitimacy. Every meaningful victory for working people has been won through collective struggle but collective action is very difficult to coordinate. In the final section of the book, Chibber walks the listener through some of the historical attempts to build socialism and presents a vision of how we might, perhaps against the odds, build a socialist future.

This book will prove that he was right all along...
